SIX THE BRIDGEPORT POST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1961. ASIA-AFRICANS IN BID TO WIN CONGO PEACE (Continued from Page One) Idcnt Moise Tshombe--rather than the strong central government demanded by Lumumba and -his political rebel Premier Antoine Gizenga. Outside Groups The commission urged Ing outside groups into bring- lleo's cabinet to make a government of national unity, freeing of all political prisoners and UN action to bar outside foreign military aid from reaching the warring Congolese factions. As debate on the Congo crisis continued in the council chamber, Sudanese Delegate Ohar Abdel Hamid Adyl indicated to the council that his government for the time being would prevent communist airlift of arms to Gi- zenga's rebel forces in Stanleyville by refusing permission to make a necessary refueling stop in Khartoum. Adyl said the Khartoum government considers any aid to the Congo should go only through the United Nations but lie warned if progress was not made, Sudan would have to withdraw its support and its 394 troops from UN Congo force.

Back Dag During the debate yesterday Ecuador and Malagasy lined up solidly behind Hammarskjold and against the Soviet proposal for his ouster, while Cameroon, Ceylon and Sudan gave him qualified support. Only Poland announced withdrawal of its recognition of the secretary-general, following the Soviet lead, and that had bei expected. Eight members of the council have signified they want Hammarskjold to remain in office, dooming the Soviet proposal to get him put. Outside the UN, Japan announced its support of Two more communist countries --Poland and Bulgaria--accorded diplomatic recognition to Gizen- ga's regime as legal premier. Attack Whiles In other capitals, demonstrations continued over Lumumba's death.

Antiwhite tary annoyance, but "irritate quite extensively" implies prolonged or repeated annoyance, favoring the word WARD. t. LOSING not LOVING. LOSING is favored. It is more a case of suffering through their love of their children which can be assumed than of suffering through LOVING them.

7. GALE not GALA. A GALA is and is fully intended to be, a distraction. A GALE "could act" as a distraction. GALL is poor.

8. SLEET not SLEEP. There are many people in the world who daily average number of students rioting last night In Lagos shocked Western observers as mobs of screaming Nigerians--hitherto friendly to lhe West--attacked the American and Bejgian embassies and mauled, stoned and spat on whites on the streets. More than 10,000 Nigerians look part in the embassy assaults In Africa's most populous country, whose government has shown a marked friendship for the United States and is considered one of Africa's most democratically oriented. Blaming the United Slates as "imperialist" and for supporting the UN Congo policies, the stone throwing rioters broke windows in the US embassy and in the U.S.

Information Agency offices about half a mile away, but police with tear gas beat back attempts to lay a symbolic black coffin at the embassy gate. 1 Whites Warned No Americans were reported hurt, but a general warning went out to the white community in the Nigerian capital to slay a a from the city's center, where lhe Retaliation against the ai Belgium demonstrations came FRIDAY: "Dad says job is taxing him.

Toward the end of the year, Mr. Dunlop's report disclosed, a decision was made to establish a Department of Hospital Development, the purpose of which would be to promote a greater understanding of and interest in the hospital on the part of'the general public.

This department is now replacing the subscription office and the public relations office. Its director, who assumed his position in October, after the end the lospital's fiscal year, is Horace- Dumont, formerly assistant director of the development department at Norwalk hospital. The report cited the celebration last year of the 75th anniversary of the School of Nursing. There were 97 students in the school at the end of the year, and the will remain ASLEEP for a whole day, on occasion, possibly because of previous hours of arduous work or because of illness.

excellent answer. 10. MASTER not FASTER. For FASTER, "more" would be better than "most." MASTER players are no slower than many of their inferiors, anyway. 19.

HUT not HAT. If he has a HUT, he may be glad of it. If hc has a HAT, he may be appreciative of the fact, but will hardly be consciously glad that he has just that particular item of clothing. HIT is remote. 21.

HAD not HID. HAD, yes; but a'thing put in the safe, which would be the obvious place to look, is hardly what one would call- HIDden. 22. BAKER not FAKER or MAKER. Certain, rather than most, favors BAKER rather than MAKER.

FAKER does not suit "accep ted producls on the market." TAKER is not good. 244. BAR not CAR, JAR, OAR or TAR. A new BAR, yes. Not so much an individual new CAR, however, as a new "model" ol CAR or kind of JAR, OAR and TAR.

23. FLAG not FLAT. Something always attractive about a nice, clean "now" FLAG, yes. may well find nothing of interest in a now FLAT. DOWN: COULD not WOULD.

clue says, "asked by a boy;" but the somcwhal curt answer suit COULD better. It would be more a question the average young girl being asket if she WOULD like to dance and answering more gracefully than just "no." DAB not DAY. DAB is apl, especially in view of the clue word, "painting." It is.not I question of "just another DAY or two," but of another DAY'S work (or two). 9. FED not WED.

"As a rule," the clue is most true of FED, because their incbhie is'low. Many, lowcver, will save up for the WEDding. LED is too vague. 13. REPORT not RETORT.

Regarding RETORT, the definite "it" suggests a particular answer which he has thought of since the event. This is not a.RETORT, houph it would have been one lad he made It at the time. RE PORT is fully satisfactory. RESORT is very vague as regards he clue words, 15. READER not LEADER.

CALL not FALL. "May well" an understatement for FALL, favors CALL. Surely, with a "badly twisted ankle," he would "have" to FALL out if it's "in the midst of a long march." But outside of isolated assaults, there still were no reports of anti-white violence in the Congo itself. Red China ordered mass rallies throughout the country beginning tomorrow to protest "the murder of Lumumba by U.S. and Beligian imperialists." Premier Ileo appealed to the nation lo remain calm despite the cloud hanging over lhe country as a result of "the tragic death of the head of our first government." "My government," says Ileo, "denounces acts of violence and savage brutality.

Hickman, about 50; the branch manager) the gun and him to call the two girls to ihe front of the bank and have them close the draperies." Meanwhile, Mrs.

Dora McCain, 30, a teller, telephoned the main bank and said, "something Peculiar is going on." Then the connection was broken. The bandit forced Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. McCain and Hickman into Mrs. Ferguson's car and drove off.

"We drove all over," Rideau said. Fires at Three Rideau was picked up about an hour and a half after the robbery. The youth told police he fired at the three when they jumped out of the car. But a coroner's report snid there were powder burns on the back of Mrs. Ferguson's neck.

She had been shot twice and stabbed twice. Hickman denied that he and the women tried to out of the car. Hickman, who said he was shot first, suffered a shoulder wound. Mrs. McCain, who said she "played dead" nfter being shot in the neck, was in serious condition nt a hospital.

Statewide unemployment was 517,000 in January, an increase of 65,000 or about 14 per cent from December. The 517,000 reported yesterday, the largest January figure in decade and represents eight )er cent of the covered work force, Irving Perluss, state director of employment, however, the statistics haven't "started snow- jailing downhill." He said he hopes, but can't guarantee, the recession has about reached bot- 'om.

Perluss said, "the important for us to do is-not to hold our heads in our hands; but to do something to create jobs." At the governor's request, John M.

The report, unrelievedlygloomy, offered these observations: Unemployment is particularly bad in construction, aircraft, steel and lumber. There is some evidence of migration into the state of needy people from states with high unemployment.

Private agencies notocl "considerable privation" due to families moving together and overcrowding. There have been instances of iiungry people stealing cattle in Humboldt county. Stockmen have posted a $1,000 reward for anyone caught rustling. In Riverside 1 county, the Salvation Army had only S18 on hand. The Catholic Welfare bureau in Kern county reported a "frantic" increase in relief work in January.

In Fresno county, unemployment benefit claims are HI per cent higher than a year ago. And there, too, "men who previously held responsible managerial jobs arc begging for dishwashing jobs or anything available." Health agencies in Mendocino county said mothers unable to follow diet suggestions because of lack of funds. A Pittsburg school health official mentioned one family which hud been living on potatoes alone for five weeks. San Diego county has an estimated 7,000 to 0,000 unsold private dwellings, rental vacancies run 25 per cent or more.

This method is soon to.be changed under legisla- tio'n approved in 1959. Senator Cady said, patients at these humane institutions were required to pay the full cost of their keep.

In 1955, the plan known as "fair care" was enacted by the Legislature. It provided that if the patient or his estate proved unable to meet these costs, the state would attempt to be reimbursed by his parents or his children. Would End Time Limit There was no time limit to this plan and the state would continue to seek some payment from the patient or his closest relatives throughout the years of his treatment at one of the institutions. The 1959 Legislature modified the act to the extent that no further payment from the patient or his relatives would be sought after he had been in an institution 16 years or become 21 years of age, whichever came later.

The effective date of this change is July 1 of this year. No relatives of long term patients have been relieved of their financial respon sibility yet.

Pointing out that the Democrat ic administration's tax increase program is the largest in the state history, Mr.

May said if the gov ernor's budget and tax proposals are adopted, it will mean: 1. An additional tax increase oi about $100 per family per year. 2. A 50 per cent increase in the cost of motor vehicle registra tions. i 3.

The small businessman will be hit for a 30 per cent increase in the unincorporated business tax. 4. Many small restaurants and drug stores with liquor permits will be driven out of business because the permit fee is doubled. 5. The tax on cigarettes is ai- most doubled and the tax on liquor is doubled.

6. A 167 per cent increase in taxes on gas, electric and telephone companies will mean an inevitable tax rate rise for consumers. Mr. May also said that "if the governor were to have his way on diversion of motor vehicle fees away from highway construction for the next two years, coupled with diversion under the Kihi- coff administration over the last two years, more than $50 i i i worth of road construction will be lost to Connecticut."
