fay at the root of Tshombe’s power. ■Die Union Miniere, Katanga’s rich supply of minerals and Tshombe’s lavish spending for his Katanga troops and white mercenaries, made possible Elisabethville's continued existence as one of central Africa's gayest cities. It is unfortunate that a military victory seemed finally the only solution to the Katanga problem. Tshombe faces limited alternatives: — -He can attempt to make a stand at the mining town of Kolwezi with his remaining forces against United Nations troops advancing from Jadotville, some 80 miles to the south. —He can attempt to carry out his previous threat of jungle warfare—“with traps, with poisoned arrows and spears”—a n d scorched earth. —He can attempt, as he successfully has in the past, to talk his way out of his present jam. —He can invite U.N. forces into Kolwezi without the necessity of fighting and perhaps retain a status of provincial president answerable to the central government of Leopoldville. For Tshombe, none of these is attractive. The U.N. has declared flatly it has nothing to say to Tshombe, at least until military control is secured.. Sabotage committed by retreating Katangese forces and damage incurred in the fighting have reduced seriously Union Minjere’s production capacity. In black Africa there is not a single leader to whom Tshombe can turn. Drey regard him as having sold out to white mining interests and are angered that he hired white mercenaries to kill blacks. His strongest African supporter has been Sir Roy Welensky, white prime minister of the Central . African Federation whose white supremacy policies have made him a special object of hatred for black nationalists. Such is Tshombe’s dilemma.

MEXICO NOW (Continued From Page Two-A) But it is the redistribution of land that is the hot political issue in Mexico. It has the overwhelming support of the nation and the government is proceeding full steam ahead. The present administration has taken over more than 26 million acres under the program. It is a complicated process under which the owner of a large tract of land has an alternative of selling it to the government or taking equivalent amount of land elsewhere in the nation. The government then gives the land to the peasants under the “ejido” system. Some ejidos are communal property, that is, the town has the title to the land. Others are divided and an individual title given to each farmer. Either way, the farmer chooses the crop he will raise and pockets the proceeds. There are, of course, independent farftiers who have owned their own land-for years. Good and Bad Overall, how is Mexico doing under its social set-up? Like all other nations, good and bad. Her principal problem is an exploding population which makes it necessary to provide 300,000 new jobs a year. School houses are being built at an average rate of two a day, but can’t keep up with the flood of new pupils. Mexico has a hard time feeding herself and suffers from a chronic unfavorable balance of trade—she has to import more than she can export. On the plus side she has a stable currency, a good reputation lor paying her debts and resources that have not yet been fully developed. And, barring natural death, her presidents now can be certain of serving out the full term. No Crash Make small mats of sandpaper for your closet shelves in the kitchen. They can be used where you want to stand plates or platters on end . . . and prevent a crash.

String Bean Coat Tops Fashion Poll By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — The string bean coat climbs to the top of the fashion poll for spring. It is skinny in shape, pared to shadow the figure and a major swing from the bulky numbers women have been donning for spring covering for these many seasons. To get an idea of what the new coats look like, just check out recent photographs of Mrs. John F. Kennedy in one of the spare silhouettes. The new coats, as one manufacturer who showed his collection this week says it, “follows the line of the body, lengthening, and slenderizing the figure.” Originala was one of four man-ufacturer-designer members 'of the New York Couture Group who Tuesday showed their spring collections to the 235 visiting women’s and fashion editors. Most of the shaping of the leaner coats comes from seaming and sleeves set in narrowed armholes; few of the dolman sleeves are around. But as in any season, there are still the opposites. The woman shopper will be able to find some coats with back fullness from gathers or pleats; some belted, trench coat types, if she is determined. A continuing trend is the coat with its own dress —a combination coordinated in shape, color and use of fabric. Even the redingote is back on the spring scene. Die wrist length sleeves outnumber the shorter ones of other seasons in new coat groups. Many of the new collars are set to extend slightly outward, away from the neck. Others have tailored lapels. Still others are flat, rolled down collars. Patent Leather Orange juice produces a good polish on patent leather.

WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - ADA’s anual love letter to the President was no love letter at all this time. Rather it was an abrupt instruction to “get off it young fella, and fight” ADA is Americans for Democratic Action, a loosely organized political lodge of new New Dealers with encampments scattered around the nation, like the Eagles or the Elks. The old New Dealers mostly are dead or politically inactive. The new New Dealers are motivated by nostalgia, an aggressive homesickness for the Washington that was when FDR was hi the White House. ADA’s annual message on the state of the Union was made public here last week, a mixed broth of whimsy and of frustration. There was a certain whimsy in ADA’s annoyed insistence that President Kennedy make good on certain promises in the 1960 Democratic platform. ADA’s special emphasis was on the civil rights promises of 1960. ’ ADA implied that the President lacked., peerage in that area of legislation. There was whimsy, too, in ADA’s instruction on tax reduction and government spending. Kennedy’s intentions now- are pretty well known—corpqrate and personal income tax cuts across the board and hold-the-line on spending except for national defense, space and for interest on the public debt. Kennedy also wants tax reform but tax reduction appears to have priority if there must be a choice. ADA objects. The ADA wants lower and Middle bracket tax reductions and a big boost in federal spending. Really big. ADA opposes top bracket reductions pending tax reform to close loopholes. In view of Kennedy’s known position on taxes and spending, ADA had lost that argument before it was put on paper, And, if that isn’t political whimsy, it’s worse. Kennedy was accused of pillow fighting on the issue of the House Rules Committee and of running out altogether on the issue of

Outdoors Not “Free”; K9H Udall Sees Crisis |M By Stewart L Udall Secretary of tbe Interior

> Today we face perhaps the gravest threat in history to our i resources of land and water—and particularly to the ones plentiful “green acres” which traditionally have played a vital sole : in shaping the character and destiny of America. | i And this is at a time when some 90 percent of our people— ; turning back by the millions to the spiritual solace of the land— j . take part in outdoor recreation of some form. . , | ’ While heartening, this vast movement to the out-of-doors presents two thorny problems: First, our people are multiplying and more people need more land, both to live and to rein; tai, i

second, the demand for industrial, commercial, and residenI rial development for this buri geoning population is chewing away a million acres of remaining open space a year, wiping out suitable outdoor recreation areas at an alarming rate, and, at the same time, through ever stiffer competition for use of the land, sending the prices , for the remnant* of our natural, unspoiled wilderness and water- ' front to level* swiftly approach- ! ing the astronomical. Obviously, a solution must be found. But to find it we shall : have to pay a price because, for better or worse, in the 1960’* the out-of-doors is no longer free. An example of the cost may i be seen in this Administration’s ■ vigorous efforts to save needed land to preserve our wildlife. ! Before 1961, land acquired for ! Federal wildlife refuges cost an I average of $12.40 an acre; in i fiscal 1961, this average price i rose to $69.39 an acre; while iin the 1962. fiscal year—as suitj able land grew scarcer —the av- ' erage price per acre had soared j to $86.71. Spurred by the President's ' leadership, the conservationminded 87th Congress took unprecedented action in setting aside three superb strips of seacoast as National Seashores at ! Cape Cod, at Point Keyes, near San Francisco, and at Padre Island, along the Gulf Coast of Texas. In May 1962, President Kennedy called the first White House Conference on Conservation

Senate filibusters. In these areas, ADA’s annual message was more a peevish show of dissatisfaction than a serious political document The frustration of ADA seems to lie in its inability to shape or much modify Kennedy administration policy. The good politician in the White House isn’t listening. ADA, in fact, is a captive lodge of a president who won’t

since the turn of the century. ; At that extraordinary gathering • , of conservation leaden from ' throughout the country be said: , *T can think of no mon suitable ’ effort for aa administration which is concerned with progress j than to be identified with sf- . forts to preserve this land and ’ maintain its beauty.* Congress will act this year on a proposed pay-as-you-go Land Conservation Fund W k* inanced by those who now enjag our superb outdoor recreation areas and from recreation and ; land related Federal receipts. The bill establishes modest , user fees for casugen, picnicker*, boaettw and others who in 1961 comprised mom than 360 million vlriton so mitinssT forests, reservoirs, and seashore*. Revenues would be utilized bg the States and the Federal Government to plan cooperative and comprehensive outdoor neno- ‘ rion programs and to acquim suitable new recreation atom. Further financing for open space acquisition program* ' would be provided through a car' permit which would entitle an-! nual admission to all national 1 parks, forests, fish end wildlife recreation areas, dam reservoirs, and other federally financed recreation areas throughout the Nation. With sufficient public understanding and support, this is the program which, in President Kennedy's words, will enable us to move ahead in 1963 toward repayment of our debt to the past—and meeting our obligations to the future.

listen. Ada has no one else to go to. The organization would be much happier, perhaps, with Adlai E. Stevenson, a first love, or, maybe, with anyone. To these new New Dealers, Kennedy has been suspect ever since he put Lyndon Johnson on the 1960 ticket. ADA regarded Johnson as a disaster. Still does.
