Three continents were torn by strife as the new year approached. Millions prepared to welcome 1961 with wassail, but that would be just a pause until the problems had to be faced again. Blood was being shed in Laos in southeast Asia, while the Western world watched apprehensively to see whether the Communists were raking over still another country.

IN EUROPE, normally solid Belgium was rent by strikes and riots in protest against an austerity program. In Africa, there was no sign of a let-up in shooting and disorders in the Congo and Algeria. At the doorstep of the United States, the increasingly leftist and anti-Washington government of Prime Minister Fidel Castro was attempting to consolidate its power in Cuba. President-elect John F. Kennedy, in Florida, stood just three weeks away for taking office and the vast responsibilities that go with the leadership of the West's most powerful nation.

President Eisenhower was only three weeks from relinquishing office, after eight years of inter national upheavals, with the satisfaction of knowing he did not have to lead the nation to war. From Vatican City, Pope John XXIII expressed hope in a new year message" that 1961 would be a year "of spiritual ington. Center, in buckskins, is Lester Oliver, tribal chairman.

This figure tops the $8,671,000 for construction and land acquisition for 1960-61. The legislature approved $7,671,000. Regents President William Mathews, Tucson publisher, and Secretary Alex Jacome, a Tucson merchant, resigned as officers to conclude yesterday's three hour meeting, 90 minutes of which was closed to the press. Their terms expire Jan.

2. Governor Fannin, an ex-officlo member of the board, indicated yesterday neither would be reappointed. The regents selected two Phoenicians to succeed Mathews and Jacome. Lynn M. Laney was named president and O.

D. Miller, secretary. The regents approved the following recommendations for the 1961-62 school year. J4.210.000 to the University of Arizona. $4,061,000 to Arizona State Uni $1,180,000 to Arizona State Col lege at Flagstaff.

Included in the totals for the UofA and ASU are $500,000 apiece to acquire land. APPROVED BY the regents were the University of Arizona's requests for $1,634,393 for a li brary addition; $977,096 for an education building, $420,879 for chemistry pharmacy alterations and remodeling, and $412,632 for agriculture building remodeling. Other UofA requests okayed were $75,000 to improve the women's physical education grounds and $190,000 for a utility tunnel. Regents approved $1,691,300 as initial expenditure for a $2,861,000 auditorium at Arizona State University designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Other ASU recommendations approved were: $215,000 for extensions of two tunnels; $725,500 for an addition to the life science building, $120,000 for physical sciences modifications and equipment, and $165,000 for a boiler and equipment for the central plant.

The largest expenditure approved for Arizona State College was $800,000 for a business administration building. After Mathews and Jacome resigned, Governor Fannin said to them: "I want to express my thanks for arranging for this to be handled the way it has." He cited them for "excellent devotion and dedication." Mathews was appointed in 1950 and Jacome in 1952. (Related story on Page 9.) than in the mountain lands.

Sooner or later even the skeptical French will become con vlnced that the things actually work. 11 By FLETCHIR KNIBEL Glendalean Celebrates 20th Century Advent GLENDALE At the stroke of midnight tonight, Hugh Faulkner Fighting Kills 1, Hurts 12 By EDDIE GILMORE BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) Mounted police with flashing sabers battled 3,000 demonstrators, in downtown Brussels yesterday on the 11th and most violent day of Belgium's general strike. The clash brought the first death in the long crisis and injury to 12 persons. Premier Gaston Eyskens bitter ly charged that Communists are behind this challenge to his program of boosting taxes and cutting welfare services to offset Belgian losses in the Congo. He styled the Socialist-called strike an insurrec tionist movement designed to seize power.

Gravely concerned by the walkout that has paralyzed the industrial south, King Baudouln called in Leo Coilard, president of the socialist party. The king cut short his honeymoon in Spain only the day before to hurry home and take a personal hand in the crisis. While the prolonged strike has brought repeated clashes, there had been nothing Ifke the savagery that exploded in the heart of Brussels in front of Bet glum's Sabena Airlines building. About 5,000 demonstrators had paraded in orderly fashion into downtown Brussels, observing the call of Socialist leaders to avoid the stone-throwing and other vio lence of recent days. They moved toward the Sabena terminal and administration building.

IT WAS an almost unbelievable scene that took place then only a few hundred yards from Brussels Grand Place, one of the most beautiful and serene squares on the- continent. A. handful of airline passengers looked on in stunned silence, ap parently unable or unwilling to tear themselves away and take cover from the violence storm that blew up before their eyes. The storm broke when one of the marchers, seeing the Sabena building, shouted: "Down with Sabena They've got strike-breakers in their shops." That lone but challenging cry did it. It seemed to set afire the demonstrators.

Armed with bricks and stones, about 3,000 angry demonstrators broke away from the parade and surged toward the Sabena buildings. Steel hel meted mounted state police charged1 into the mass, swinging the flat of their long sabers. The strikers scattered, reformed, and charged again. In wide, flanking rushes they (Continued on -Page 2, Col. 3) A Prayer HEAVENLY Father, accept our warmest thanks for the bles-sincs of the year that is gone.

The road to true peace appeared to be a long one. AS THE OLD year ended and the new began, United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammar-skjold arranged to fly to the Congo in a continued effort to cope with the problems of that rebellious land. And the "nuclear club" continued to grow in strength. France exploded its third "device" in the Sahara as 1960 neared its end. There were portents that Red China and smaller nations hoped to have their own devices in the not so distant future.

The overriding wish of millions of people around the worlti was that none of these devices would be exploded in anger. So, in the tradition that the new year is time for hope, for better times, 1961 will be welcomed like the years of yore. For many, this will mean danc Ing, drinks, and funny hats. For others, it will mean church serv- ices and prayers for peace. years he was with the merchant marine, also serving as a me: chant seaman during World War II.

Faulkner's gaiety tonight will stem not only from the fact that he was born at midnight on New Year's Eve, but he is as old as the Harriman Kennedy's Ambassador PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPI)- President-elect John F.

Kennedy last night brought into his new administration a veteran diplo mat, W. Averell Harriman, to undertake special presidential missions overseas as ambassador at-large. Harriman, one-time ambassa dor to Russia and to Great Brit ain, conferred here earlier this week with Kennedy. The president-elect discussed the Harri man appointment Thursday with Chairman Fulbright (D-Ark) of the senate foreign relations com mittee. Announcement of the former New York governor's appoint ment said he would be available to the president and the secretary of state "for important special missions requiring a spokesman who has the full confidence of the president and an intimate, knowledge of all aspects of United States policy." PRIOR TO the Harriman an nouncement, Kennedy called a major agricultural conference in New York next Thursday to dis cuss with leaders of nine national organizations plans for concerted action against what he called "the farm crisis." The president-elect had a series of top appointments to his new administration on tap over the New Year's weekend.

They will be announced in a series of press conferences. One likely job prospect, Franklin D. Roosevelt son of the late president, flew to Palm Beach yesterday for overnight talks with Kennedy. Upon his arrival, Roosevelt brushed aside job rumors and said he was here primarily to play golf with the president-elect. He doubted whether he could afford to leave his business, a dis continued on Page 8, Col.

2) Ike Orders Space Agency Aid Industry WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower yesterday or dered the federal space agency to help private industry set up satellite systems looking toward world wide commercial telephone and television service. The White House policy state ment, which could touch off sharp new debate, instructed the National Aeronautics And Space Ad ministration to: Push research and development projects to demonstrate the feasi bility of radio and TV relay sta tions in space. Encourage private industry to put its own resources into development of satellite communi cations systems. Provide at cost the rockets and facilities to launch such privately- owned satellites into orbit. WHETHER President-elect John F.

Kennedy and the new congress will endorse this policy remains to be seen. Huge expenditures and potentially, huge profits are at stake. It appeared possible, however that the President, on the eve of his departure from office, may have sowed the seeds for a strug gle comparable to those of the past on the issue of private versus public power. IN HIS STATEMENT, Mr. Ei senhower said, "The government should aggressively encourage private enterprise the estab lishment and operation of satel lite relays for revenue-producing purposes." Asked if the policy had been dis cussed with Kennedy, White House News Secretary James C.

Hagerty said, "Not that I know of." He agreed the decision might spark controversy. Two companies, American Tel ephone Telegraph Co. and Hughes Aircraft, have announced plans to put experimental communication satellites in orbit within a year. Several other companies have said they will attempt to do so later. clouds remained in the extreme southeast portion of the state.

Washington on Jan. 20 when the Dancers perform their ancient group to represent Arizona in the council, who will also perform in the parade as singers, chant the tribal tempos, and play the secret war drum beats that play such an important part of the Crown Dancers ceremonies. All members of the group are from the Whiteriver Apache tribe and have been born and reared on the huge reservation in the eastern part of the state. Lee Harvey, one of the singers, is grandson of the famous Chief Alchesay, the last of the great tribal chiefs, who died in 1927.

Another will be Rufus Altaha, nephew of the legendary R-14, Apache chief who was the first man to start raising cattle on the Whiteriver Reservation. The famous chief received his unusual name from the U.S. Army during the latter part of the last century when for a short period the Indians were identified by number. THE DANCES performed by the group are part of ancient ceremonials which have been handed down through generations and have not changed through the years. For years, the ceremonials were held for tribal members on ly and no white men were allowed to view the proceedings.

Only as recently as 1928, were photographs of the dances per mitted. Before then, they were forbidden by Apache law. Even now, the ceremonial dances are performed only once or twice a year, usually during the annual tribal fair and the famous Apache rodeo, held every July 4. Though known for their horsemanship, the dancers will travel to Washington by modern transportation, by plane from Phoenix. PLANS CALL for them to leave Sky Harbor airport Jan.
