Congo Rebels Appear Digging In For Keeps LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (UPD —Communist - inspired rebels appeared today to be digging in for a Viet Nam-type guerrilla war against Congolese army troops and white mercenaries. “Everytime we pick one off, another six rebels take his place,” one white mercenary said. Rebel pressure against government forces was increasing. The rebels maintained a grip on a 250,000-square - mile area of the Congo and held upwards of 1,000 white hostages as pawns in their anti-government revolt. About 100 white men, women and children rescued by whiteled Congo troops in Dingila, about 300 miles north of Sanleyville, were being flown to safety today. Most of them were employes of a Belgian cotton •company, but they included St least one AngloAmerican missionary family. The status of Stanleyville, self - proclaimed capital of the rebel “peoples republic of the Congo,” waj in doubt. Late reports from Stanleyville said the airport from which more than 1,600 hostages were saved last week in a spectacular U.S.-Belgian mercy mission was no longer secure. O her reports said Kindu, 250 miles south of Stanleyville, was in danger of being re-captured by rebel troops. Government forces took Kindu last week in their drive toward Stanleyville but only .13 mercenaries and a handful of Congolese soldiers were left behind to guard it. There were reports that the troops had fled in the face of rebel counter-attacks. Maj. Michael (“Mad Mike”) Hoare. the former British army officer who heads the biggest unit of white mercenaries, sounded a note of pessimism. He said a political solution to the Congolese problem would have to be found if his forces were not strengthened in rebelcontrolled territory. Mercenary - led CongQlese troops Monday captured the rebel stronghold of Bunia but discovered that all whites in the area had been dragged into the jungle as hostages.

Young Congressmen Seek Halleck Ouster WASHINGTON (UPI) — A group of “young turk” congressmen sought support today for an early House GOP caucus which might prove the opening round of a battle to oust Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck. Spokesmen for the “moderate conservative” legislators insisted that the proposed mid - December meeting was intended only to plan a positive approach to GOP problems resulting from the Democratic election sweep. There are no specific plans to oust Halleck, it was said, but one member of the group conceded that this might be the end result of such a session. The Republican caucus traditionally is held only a few hours before the opening session of Congress. The GOP leadership, Halleck and Republican conference chairman Gerald R. Ford, Mich., planned to follow that procedure in January. But the dissidents, invited by Rep. Thomas B. Curtis, R-Mo., to a “where-do-we-go - from—here” meeting in the office of Rep. Robert P. Griffin, R-Mich., contended this timing was bad. Halleck’s office quoted the Indiana congressman as saying, “I can be back any time. When the Jan. 4 conference was set up. it was with the idea that a conference at that time would be most convenient to the most members.” A Halleck aide said the Jan. 4 date was agreed upon after an informal poll showed that most members did not want to be recalled to Washington during the holiday period. There was some doubt, too, the aide said, whether a majority of the membership could be present at an earlier meeting. Savings Bond Sales Decrease In County T. F. GraHker, chairman of the Adams county U.S. savings bonds committee, has received a report revealing that the county’s savings bonds sales for October were $34,146 compared with $45,865 for the corresponding period of last year. The state’s sales for October were $10,633,984 which is a loss of 9.6 per cent compared with last October. • Twenty-two of the state’s 92 counties reported sales gains for the month when compared with sales of October* 1963.

Welsh said “the purpose of an election is to give Indiana new faces and new purposes.” Schricker took the occasion to pay tribute-' to Welsh “bn scandal-free adnjinistration we' have enjoyed and the fine appearance of the Statehouse.” J. Ralph Thompson, Seymour, former Indiana State Chamber of Commerce president, who swore in Bottorff, was publicly thanked by the new secretary of state for helping him through college and getting him a job. Bottorff, a Franklin College graduate, said when he coached at Culver Military Academy he often went to nearby Knox to talk to Schricker and that he had tried to follow his political advice. “1 am proud to be the first member of the Branigin administration to move into office,” Bottorff said. Gov.-elect Roger D. Branigin was not among the dignitaries attending the ceremony.
