Hammarskjold arrives this morning from Africa after cutting short his visit to the continent to attend the council session requested by Russia. The new Congo debate began in the 11-nation body Thursday. Ham ma rskjold’s statement to the council was expected to summarize talks he has had with President Joseph Kasavubu and other Congolese leaders in Leopoldville. * Russia asked the council to consider its charges that the U.N, Congo command permitted Congolese troops loyal to Kasavubu to be sent from the Belgian-ad-ministered- trust territory of Ru-anda-Urundi to attack forces loyal to Soviet-backed deposed Premier Patrice Lumumba. Belgian Ambassador Walter Loridah told the council his government granted transit rights through Ruanda-Urundi, which is east of the'Congolese province of Kivu, for “100 or so” Congolese troops at the request of Kasavu-. bu. He contended that this did not violate U.N. orders. Kivu is a stronghold of pro-Lumumba forces, The United Arab Republic was preparing a resolution which informed sources said was mild enough to perhaps be accepted by both Russia and the West and thus avoid another bitter wrangle over the Congo. Soviet Ambassador Valerian A. Zorin asked Thursday that Belgium be stripped of its administrative power over Ruanda-Urun-di and again demanded immediate withdrawal of all Belgians j from the Congo. ; District Meeting Os Moose Tonight Several members of the Decatur i Moose ' lodge"'will attend the district meeting at 8:30 p.m. today iat the Fort Wayne lodge, Dan | Christen, secretary, said today.

Details Greatest Danger To Country

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — A military friend of mine whose name was in headlines during World War II was thinking out loud the other evening. This is what he thought: “The greatest danger our country faces today flows from the following possibilities: “Science • and technology now halve reached a state which makes it pbssible to place in space weapons which can control the people of the earth. Such weapons can be developed for an expenditure of a few- billions of dollars and be avaiable by 1970 to 1973. “The Russians undoubtedly are aware of this possibility. “They or we may soon propose that space be reserved for peaceful purposes and that no weapons be placed in orbit. If such an agreement were made, we would keep it and no funds would be ap propriated for space weapons. The Russians can be expected to go full out, despite any treaty or agreement, to develop such weapons. “Thus, in 1970 or thereabouts people of the United States would be defenseless against Russian space weapons. Under such conditions, the United States would be forced to surrender. - “The antidote to such catastrophe is to proceed with all speed, energy and effort to develop optimum weapons in space. Equal priority must be given to the earliest development of defense systems against space weapons. “No other problem facing the United States today is of equal importance or fraught with such fateful Consequences.” My military friend who thought out loud the foregoing quoted paragraphs is an intelligent man of sound judgment. He is not given to loose talk nor to superlatives. When he uses such words as “the greatest danger our country faces today,” he means exactly that. So, too, when he says that, under certain conditions, the people of the United States would be defenseless and would have to surrender, he means it in absolute terms and in the too near future, say about 12 to 15 years hence. This, then, is something for the citizens of the United States to consider and about which they should -inform themselves. Steady Rains Pelf Pacific Northwest By United Press International Steady winter rains pelted the Pacific Northwest today, hampering Coast Guard rescuers in the bloated Columbia River. - Two Coast Guard vessels capsized in. the mouth of the river Thursday night on a rescue mission to aid a crippled fishing vessel. The U.S. Weather Bureau predicted little relief from rain today for additional teams seeking survivors. A new cold front moving east from the Pacific Ocean turned rain to snow in Montana and Idaho and dropped temperatures below zero in the Colorado Rockies? 1 From the Rockies southwest to Florida, most of the nation basked in unseasonal winter warmth. Milwaukee recorded an all-time high of 49 degrees Thursday and Des Moines, lowa, children found a dandelion in their schoolyard. At Red Oak, lowa, youngsters -capturedjthe year’s first grasshopper. Heaviest rains during the night fell along the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana. Daylong rain totals rose to nearly three inches at Port Arthur, Tex., at the mouth of the Sabine. In New England, arctic air sent the mercury skidding about 10 degrees. Boston reported 20-degree weather under clear skies early today. Other readings’ around the nation were 31 at Washington, D.C.: Atlanta, 44; Miami, 71; Louisville. |2B; St. Louis, 34; Chicago, 30; I Minneapolis. 28: Denver, 29; Dallas, 47, Phoenix. 42; San Francisco, 49; Seattle. 44; Anchor age, 23, and Honolulu, 7s. 'The Weather Buredu predicted more cloudiness and light rains today ovef the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, variable cloudiness through northern states and sunny skies elsewhere.

Earnings From Kennedy Fortune Are Put On Ice PALM BEACH, Fla. <UPD — President-elect John F. Kennedy has removed his personal fortune, which may be as large as $lO million, from the field of speculative investment for as long as he is in the White House. Preparing for his inauguration Jan. 20 and wanting to avoid possible conflict of interest although not required by law, Kennedy recently disposed of all stock holdings and reinvested the proceeds in government bonds — federal, state and municipal. Press Secretary Pierre Salinger .said, ‘‘The only holdings he has today are bonds and real estate.” His direct real estate holdings consist of his homes in Washington and Hyannis Port, Mass. Annual Income— slso,oM Kennedy currently, and apparently for some time, derives SIOO,000 a year after taxes from trust funds set up in 1926, 1936 and 1949 by his father, former Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy. It was stated authoritatively, but privately, that the Presidentelect receives a gross income of about $500,000 a year from his fortune, of which $400,000 goes for taxes. Assuming conservatively that the yield from his trust funds and investments represents a return of as much as 5 per cent, this would indicate an overall personal wealth of about $lO million. Salinger would not discuss Kennedy’s net worth, but he did say the President-elect decided to sell his stocks without being required to do so by law. Law Hits Pocketbook The federal law dealing with conflict of interests has hit other federal officials in the pocketbook. Secretary of Defense - designate Robert S. McNamara had to get rid of stock in the Ford Motor Co. of which he was president and he said the transaction would represent a potential loss of between $2 million and $3 million over a period of years. Joseph P. Kennedy's fortune has been estimated unofficially as between S2OO and S3OO million: He began setting up trust funds for his children in 1926. The trusts are split seven ways—an equal share for each of the seven children of Joseph P. and Rose Kennedy. Hold Adopted Youth In Mother's Slaying RUTLAND, Vt. <UPD—Authorities today held a quiet youth as a suspect in the slaying in a parsonage of the wife of a clergyman who adopted him. Police safd Geoffrey P. Aidrich. 17, a high school football star, stabbed Mrs. Hazel Aldrich, 39. four times in the back as she played a piano in the living room of their home Thursday night. Aldrich, who was treated recently at two mental clinics, was arrested about four hours ..later in Troy. N.Y., when he turned the family car the wrong way on a oneway street. He was held there for V£fJhqnt_authorities. < Police saiZTAldrich told them he stabbed Mrs. Aldrich when she insisted that he stay home and finish his homework. He wanted to go to a local library. Officials said the woman had hen back to the youth and was apparently playing a church song called “Prayer” when she was slain. Her husband. the Rev. Gordon M. Aldrich, 43, pastor of the Rutland Congregational Church, was across the street at. a church meeting at the~time. The congregation includes Rep. Robert T. Stafford, R-Vt., a former governor. . . =- ' The boy was adopted by the couple when he was 10.

Democrats Assail Ike’s Rosy Report

WASHINGTON (UPD —Congres-, sional Democrats complained today that President Eisenhower’s picture of the state of the Union was too rosy. They said he actually was leaving the Kennedy administration a maze of serious unsolved problems. But Republicans defended the President’s final State of the Union Message, read to the House by a clerk Thursday, as a realistic summary of the Eisenhower administration’s accomplishments. The Senate, which did not meet Thursday, will hear the message read by a clerk today. President-elect John F. Kennedy had no immediate comment on the message, in which Eisenhower conceded he was leaving - the new administration with some explosive foreign and domestic problems. The President said Kennedy could solve these if he tackled them with “steadfast resolution.” Message Optimistic Eisenhower’s generally optimistic message said the nation had reached “unprecedented heights’ during the eight years of his administration. Rep. Daniel J. Flood. D-Pa.. said recent evidence showed that the national position at home and abroad is “far worse” than even the gloomiest prophets had forecast. “None are so blind as those who will not see." he said. Chairman J. William Fulbright, D-Ark. of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said “the incoming administration is confronted by as difficult a set of circumstances as any administration since the War Between the States.” The private remarks of many Democrats were even more critical than those they had for the record. “Impressive State Paper” “The poor old guy is leaving office in a few days,” said one House member with liberal leanEnlisted Men Give Blood To Aid Boy Tuesday, January 3. Sp 4 Robert Baker. 33rrf Medical Depot. Sharpe general depot, and a group of 30 U. S. Army enlisted men stationed with Sharpe depot s four military units, met at the Delta 1 blood bank in Stockton, Calif., to contribute blood for an 11 yearold local boy who underwent heart surgery January; 5 at the Mayo ! Clinic. Rochester. Minn. Acting spontaneously on a call for blood donors in a local newspaper, the group organized and eventually donated over half the blood necessary to sustain the life of 11 year-old Patrick Anderson of Tracy, Calif/, during the delicate heart operation. Five more enlisted men are pledged later this week. Over 50 pints of block! are heeded for the operation. Sp 4 Baker is the son of I Mrs.iNaomie Baker, 328 S. Fifth ' St, Decatur.

1 ings. “So I don’t want to be too hard on him.” Another Democrat privately pictured the President’s appraisals as “more of the same baloney he’s been feeding us for years.” But House GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., said the message “shows that we can carry ■ forward the tremendous accomplishments he has made if we simply use good sense and balance in what we do during the years ahead.” Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., said the message “is at once gracious and cooperative in tone and is indeed an excellent and realistic summary of the achievements of- the administra-j tlon.” I He said, “it is also a candid! document because it sets forth not only the achievements but the existing" problems in the field of ag-t riculture and foreign relations All in all, it is an impressive state; paper.” Chairman Overton Brooks. D-La.. of the House Space Committee took sharp issue with the > President’s contention that U.S. space developments make this j country “preeminent” in the field. But Rep. James G. Fulton,; R-Pa., endorsed the President’s message and said he has no doubt America now has a commanding I lead over Russia both in military and civilian space development, i The President’s report on his world travels, and his contention I that success of his and_qther toplevel visits abroad prompted Rus-j sia to wreck the summit conference, drew some raised eyebrows. “It is so far fetched that I’m wordless. ” said Rep. Chet Holifield, D-Calif., chairman of the) Senate-House Committee on Atomic Energy. "The tone of the message is in my opinion an extrava-]
