Recovery Work On Guam Progressing TOKYO (UPD—Recovery work and evacuation are progressing rapidly on the island of Guam, where Typhoon Karen’s 200 mile an hour winds Sunday destroyed or damaged an estimated 90 per cent of all buildings, U.S. Navy officials said today. The typhoon, its force now down to 150 m.p.h., moved across the Pacific in the direction of Okinawa, another U.S. military bastion, as the first planeload of evacuated families arrived at Travis Air Force Base in California. The 31 men, 14 wives, and 22 children will be followed by about 450 others, but Red Cross officials here emphasized there would be no mass evacuation from the island. Only those scheduled to go home soon are being flown back. The Navy maintained contact with Guam through its own channels a'ter normal communications were knocked out by the typhoon, which caused an estimated SIOO million in damage and killed seven persons. “All reports indicate that significant advances are being made everywhere towardrecovery,’’ the “ Navy said. "Progress is being made to restore power, water, and communication service to military and civilian areas.” The Navy was joined by the other armed services in a massive relief effort by the island’s 70,000 inhabitants. It involved Air Force planes, Navy ships, and Army soldiers doing KP duty.

(UPD — Acting Secretary General Thant's experts on the Congo studied a long letter from Katanga President Moise Tshombe today to determine the next step in settling the <’ongo problem. Thant is expected to summon his 20 - nation Congo Advisory Committee within the next few days to formulate strategy for ending Katanga’s secession and reuniting the Congo under a new I federal constitution. The contents of Tshombe’s letter were not disclosed pending thorough examination of the French text by Thant's advisers. A U.N. spokesman said the message, received late Tuesday night, was "very long and complicated.”

Tshombe beat an unofficial! deadline set by Thant for a reply to a letter sent by the acting secretary general last week. Thant asked Tshombe for action by today on his plan for reunification of the Congo. U.N. sources did not attach any particular significance to the fact that Tshombe replied in time. They said Thant did not consider his request a “hard deadline,” but it has become evident that the U.N. chief is impatient for a settlement. Pressure has <. been building up in the United Nations for a settlement before another major crisis develops as a result of recent bombings by Katangese aircraft in northern Katanga. Reports from Leopoldville Tuesday said five Congolese were killed and six others were wounded in an air raid on the village of Buyu. The people of northern Katanga traditionally have been tribal rivals of Tshombe.
