Storm Belgian Russ Embassy In Protest MOSCOW (UPD—Thousands of Russian and African students stormed the Belgian embassy three times today to protest the slaying of former Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba. Police broke up the shouting mobs each time. In the first demonstration, an estimated 1,000 African and Asian students from the Soviet Union’s “Friendship University” marched on the embassy after holding an indignation meeting over Lumumba’s death. They skirmished with police and smashed embassy windows and a glass porch door. Half an, hour later, 500 young Russians marched on the embassy with placards denouncing “imperialists.” A solid line of Soviet policemen linked arms in front of the embassy to keep the mob back. Some of the students hurled bricks and ink bottles, again smashing embassy windows. Then another group of Africans came back to join the Russians and made the third attempt against the embassy, screaming “Hammarskjold is a murderer.” Authorities called up 15 mounted patrolmen to disperse this crowd. But shortly before 6 p.m. the crowd had grown to an estimated 6,000 Russians massed outside the embassy. The mob smashed a Mercedes car belonging to the embassy and tried to set it on fire before police broke up the demonstration. During the rioting, the Belgian ambassador had asked the Foreign Ministry by telephone to take measures. It was then that police reinforcements were brought up and asked the crowd to disperse. Nearby streets had been blocked off and foreign correspondents barred from the immediate area. But Soviet television cameras were set up opposite the embassy. The official Soviet Tass news agency reported • mass protest meetings against Lumumba’s death were being held “in towns and villages throughout the country.” These were the first demonstrations against a foreign embassy in Moscow since the 1958 protests against the landing of U.S. Marines in Lebanon. 4 .

Seven Feared Drowned Off Canadian Coast VANCOUVER. B. C.

Keep Venusiocket On Radio Silence MOSCOW (UPD — The Russians kept their Venus rocket on radio silence today but crowed noisily themselves about their cosmic achievement. As the interplanetary station sped along at 9,112 miles an hour on a journey that will take more than three months, Soviet scientists, journalists and politicians joined in triumphant praise of their communist system which spawned it. Tass news agency cited it as proof of the superiority of Soviet technological education over that in the West. “In 1959 the U.S.S.R. graduated 519 engineers per one million population and in 1960 the figure rose to 541,” Tass said. In contrast, it said, the United States ratio was about 200 to a million. Tass said this was “conditioned by deeper social factors”—meaning that the Soviet system was better than that of the “capitalistic” West. A communique Monday night, about 36 hours after the launching, said the %-ton rocket ship had traveled 263,118 miles from earth. Tass said Soviet scientists would have the rocket’s radio broadcast only every five days for tracking purposes, at least until it got to the vicinity of Venus. Information bulletins will be issued once a week. Pill Developed To Rid Doqs Os Fleas INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — Fleas love dogs, but bad news came to them on this Valentine’s Day in the form of an announcement that a pill has been developed to rid man's best friend of his insect pests. Pitman-Moore Co., an Indianapolis pharmaceutical manufacturer, announced a flavor-coated tablet for ridding dogs of fleas, ticks and lice. The medicine in the pills works from the inside out. The development! was announced at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York, and Pit-man-Moore said the tablets will be available soon for veterinarians.

Calls For Freedom For Rail Industry PITTSBURGH (UPI) — A railroad spokesman called today upon President John F. Kennedy to free the rail industry from “74 years of economic slavery” and proposed an “emancipation program.” David I. Mackie, chairman of the Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference, spelled out the high points of the “emancipation program” at a lunch meeting of industrial, civic and government leaders. The session was sponsored by the community relations committee of the Pittsburgh railroads. 0 Prominent among the “emancipation” proposals was a request to Congress to end tax discriminations against railroads. Mackie said that in 1957 alone 31 states levied sl4l million in taxes against railroads. The speaker proposed that Congress declare such property tax discrimination by state or local authorities “an unlawful burden on interstate commerce.” Mackie said the industry would ask Congress to create a “national user charge commission” to assess and collect fair and reasonable fees from those who use government - provided highways, waterways, airways and airports. Mackie deplored favoritism in the transportation industry. He asked that the railroads be extended the same freedom from economic regulations as shown truckers when they haul agricultural products and inland waterway competitors when they move bulk commodities. “Railroads do not conceive it to be a proper function of government to insure a jackpot of traffic to any one segment of the transportation .u the exclusion of others.” he said.

Lumumba’s Death Brings War Fear

LONDON (UPI) — The death of former Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba was condemned on both sides of the Iron Curtain today. The general feeling was that a bad situation in the Congo had become worse with the announcement by Katangese authorities' that Lumumba and two aides had been killed by villagers. Moscow Radio called Lumumba’s death “one of the base crimes of the 20th Century.” United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser said it was “criminal murder.” of London termed it “an evil act.” In London and Rome, students demonstrated in front of the embassies of Belgium, the former colonial ruler of the Congo. Fourteen stone-throwing students were arrested in Rome. The demonstrators in London carried placards reading “Lumumba will live forever.” War Fear Spreads Everywhere there were fears of civil war in the Congo and of possible violence against whites throughout Africa. The Communists intensified their condemnations of the United Nations, Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and “imperialism.” Prague Radio claimed Lumumba was killed weeks ago in a “Nazi-like manner” and that the official Katangese version of his death was an “abominable lie.” Moscow Radio, charging that Lumumba was murdered by “the agents of the Belgian colonialists in Katanga,” said Hammarskjold "will be held personally responsible for Lumumba’s death.” It warned that “the world will not forgive the colonialists this heinous crime.” Western observers in Moscow believed the Soviets would press a campaign against Belgium that would expand into an overall condemnation of the entire U.N. program in the Congo. The observers felt the Communists also would use Lumumba’s death as a pretext for a renewed drive to discredit the white man in the eyes of the Afro-Asian bloc. Calls It Murder Indiana Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said “murder has been committed.” He called for “strong and effective action” to punish those responsible. Malayan Premier Tengku Abdul . Rahman regarded Lumumba’s y death as “very serious business,” and Philippines Foreign Minister , Felixberto Serrano said it has . “complicated an already compli- . cated and explosive situation.” . Both urged a strengthening of the U.N. mandate in the Congo. In London, the Daily Telegraph also urged a firmer U.N. mandate, saying “it will be a miracle if war does not break out.” “Lumumba’s ghost will rule more firmly than the live premier did,” said Dagens Nyheder, a Copenhagen newspaper. In Paris the newspaper Figaro said “Lumumba may become a myth—a god.”

Immediate Tax Cut Is Urged By Hartke WASHINGTON (UPD—Sen. R. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., said Monday an immediate tax cut would be one way to reverse the reces-, sion by pumping more purchasing power into the economy. Hartke called for raising the income tax exemptions for wageearners from 8600 to SI,OOO an-. nually and said such a step would add $200,000 weekly to Americans’, paychecks. He pledged support for President Kennedy’s anti-recession program but said the unemployment problem is so serious “we should do more and we should do things now.” Hartke also favored stepped-up spending for interstate highway construction and flood control. projects. “In each case, this would be an investment in the future of America," he said in a Senate speech. Citing talks he had with jobless workers last week while accompanying Secretary of Labor Arthur, J. Goldberg on part of a Midwest tour to study unemployment problems, Hartke warned against the accumulation of “a pool of un-. touchables (the unemployed) who, receive only crumbs.” If you have something to «ell or trade — use the Democrat Wan.
