Buyers and Sellers Meet On Classified Page Of The Reporter Reporter Allegany County's Daily Newspaper Warm Weather to Continue Until Weekend; Rain Likely Tonight Eighty First Year WELLSVILLE, NEW YORK, Wednesday Afternoon, September 20, 1961 Six Cents Per Copy Tshombe Orders Forces From Katanga Province Guerrilla Tactics vs Diplomacy By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON wars used to be fought by toughs in jungles while diplomacy was the province of well-dressed and solemn gentlemen who discoursed on a high level and issued opaque communiques. Then the Russians, as usual, had to come along and spoil things. Now Premier Khrushchev is using guerrilla tactics for diplomacy and diplomacy for guerrilla tactics. It's simple too. Guerrillas hit and run, do some damage, bewilder the opposition which does not know what to expect next, disappear for a while, and strike again somewhere else.

At times this seemed too simple for Western statesmen, who for years have acted like villagers huddled in a rain forest, wondering what next but too used to their old ways to try new ways of their own to strike back. Khrushchev would belt them with an unadorned blackjack and then, just to confuse them, belt them with a blackjack dressed in Christmas wrappings. One minute he'd be the bad guy talking war, the next the good boy yearning for peace. Stalin used guerrilla tactics, too. Khrushchev has gone beyond him and added a public relations touch that makes Madison Avenue look as old-fashioned as a pitchman at a circus.

For instance: in the midst of all his rumpus about because of the past few months he has given three distinguished and widely read American newspapermen lengthy, separate interviews. They reported what he said in great detail, and much length. So he reached millions of Americans repeatedly with his views on a host of issues. It seems that almost is an exaggeration, but not much has something to say on war, peace, disarmament, or nuclear testing. All of this not only gets duly reported over the air and in the press of America but in Western Europe and around the world.

In short, he has made top news with whatever tactic he wanted to use for months. By contrast the Western leaders have seemed hush-mouthed. President Kennedy, for instance, could but didn't make broad use of TV to talk to the people. He falls far short of making maximum use of other news media cither to answer Khrushchev or turn the tables on him by putting him on the defensive. What Khrushchev has been doing apparently finally sank in on the Kennedy administration.

Last week the White House revealed Kennedy has set up a group of advisers on psychological and political warfare. It has met eight times. The most recent example of how Khrushchev day by day tries to keep the West guessing and off balance came Tuesday at the United Nations when Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko talked to reporters. Russia has long insisted that U. N.

Secretary-General Dag this week in a plane be replaced by three secretaries-general, one of whom would represent the Communist world and could veto anything the other two wanted to do in any emergency anywhere around the world. This would in effect paralyze the United Nations. Gromyko repeated the Russian demand for three secretaries. But now he managed to couple this with another old Soviet demand that Red China be admitted to the United Nations. If Russia sticks to this, it will turn this U.

N. session into chaos. Gromyko got in his lick before the world organization even had a chance to consider a successor to Hammarskjold. Crash Survivor HAROLD M. JULIEN, a United Nations security guard, was the lone survivor of the plane crash in which UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and others were killed near Ndola airport in Northern Rhodesia.

(AP Wirephoto) Adoula Places Congo Troops On State Alert EIGHT DOGS SAVED FROM 'DE-BARKING' UROXFORD, England (AP) Seven miniature poodles and a Kerry blue terrier have been saved from a dog's life without barks. The high-spirited dogs were threatened with de-barking after complaints were made that their yelping disturbed the lazy quiet of this Hampshire village. The village council suggested an operation involving severing the dogs' vocal chords to. silence their barking. Outraged dog lovers all over Britain rallied to Mrs.

Harbottle's. side. The council backed down. It an. nounced Tuesday a council official made a check and considered the eight dogs were not a nuisance.

LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo Cyrille Adoula turned angrily on the "capitalist powers" today, blaming them for the death of U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. In a radio speech, Adoula said the Congolese army has been put on a state of alert and from today every citizen must be prepared to serve in Katanga where U.N. forces are fighting to 'bring that rebellious province under control of Adoula's central government. "The government has taken an important decision to spare no effort to end Katanga's secession, backed as it is by the duplicity of trusts, holdings and capital," the premier declared.

Adoula went on the air soon after scores of demonstrators had paraded through LeopoldvflUe's streets shouting anti-Western slogans outside the British and Portuguese embassies. Britain has been critical of U.N. action in Katanga. Congolese sympathize with rebels in Portugal's neighboring colony of Angola. Adoula said Katanga's army was bolstered not only by Belgians but also by "rogues of all kinds who are guilty of rape and assassination in Algeria for more than five years.

Also it is bolstered by Khodesians, South Africans and English whose hatred of the colored man is universally known." The bitter speech by the premier, who has been considered 1 a moderate, came as Soviet in Gen. Joseph Mobutu's coup a year around for a new embassy building in Lcopoldville. They are back now in the good graces of authorities here. The United Nations acknowledged anolher reversal in Elisa- bethville. It said Katangans overran part of the U.N.

hospital and captured the Italian officer commanding the supply depot and four of his men. HEART ATTACK FATAL CIIIVARI, Italy (AP) Alberto Salietti, 69, Italian painter, died Tuesday of a heart attack. By COLIN FROST NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia (AP) Katanga President Moise Tshombe today demanded the immediate withdrawal of U.N. troops from his secessionist province. This snagged truce talks, for the United Nations had previously rejected such an idea.

Tshombe said he would leave this Northern Rhodesian conference center tonight to return to Elisabethville, his capital. The Katanga leader, battling U.N. efforts to force his mineral- rich land under the rule of the Congo's central government, laid a wreath of white lilies before the coffin of U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold as it lay in state. He went to the church directly from a morning session with the U.N.

delegation trying to arrange a Katanga cease-fire. "We have made counter propositions which the U.N. side has transmitted to New York," Tshombe said. "Now we await their reply." Tshombe met for more than five hours Tuesday with a U.N. delegation headed by Mahmoud Khi- ari, a Tunisian diplomat who is chief of U.N.

civilian operations in the Congo. There was a second round today of the talks, to which Hammar- skjold was heading when he and 14 of his 15 companions were killed in a plane crash. Belated advices from the U.N. office in Leopoldville disclosed Tshombe did not want to meet with Khiari. "I am quite willing to meet with other personalities but not Khiari, who is one of the people principally responsible for the painful events in Katanga," Tshombe said in a message received in Leopoldville after Khiari left for Ndola.

Conor Cruise O'Brien is the Irish chief of U.N. operations in Katanga. Tshombe has accused him of trickery and refused to deal with him at all. But U.N. authorities said Tshombe definitely met with Khiari.

The scene of the talks was the closely guarded Ndola airport building. The two arrived and left separately with police escorts. Following Hammarskjold's tradition of quiet diplomacy, the talks were held in strictest secrecy. An investigation into the plane crash that killed Hammarskjold and 14 others Monday so far has turned up no evidence of sabotage or attack. Veteran pilots who viewed the crash site north of this city said the pattern was typical of power failure or bad instruments.

Hammarskjold's body will be flown to his native Sweden, where his countrymen will give him a state funeral. The last non-royal Swede to receive a state funeral was Louis de Geer, a reform premier who died in 1896. There was little news of fighting in Katanga as the cease-fire talks got under way. President Kennedy Cancels Press Meet WASHINGTON Kennedy today canceled the news conference he had scheduled for Wednesday morning. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the main reason is the uncertainty about when Kennedy will appear before the United Nations General Assembly to make a major address.

He said there still is an outside possibility the chief executive may speak to the Nations Thursday but that Friday, Monday or Tuesday is more likely. In any event, Kennedy has shifted some of his personal plans and now will spend the weekend at his summer home in Hyr.nnis Port, on Cape Cod. At Peace Talks MAHMOUD KHIARI, head of U.N. civilian operations in The Congo, met Katanga's President Moisc Tshombe for peace talks at Ndola in Northern Rhodesia. He's standing in for Dag Hammarskjold UN Secretary General, who was killed while enroute to the meeting.

(AP Wirephoto). Assembly Elects Tunisian Envoy As UN Chief UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) U.N. General Assembly quickly elected Tunisian delegate Mongi Slim as its president today, but no agreement was in sight on the critical problem of choosing a successor to Seretary- General Dag Hammarskjold. The moderate north African received all 96 votes cast after Indonesian Ambassador AH Sastro- amidjojo had withdrawn from the race.

He took over the chair from the outgoing president, Frederick H. Boland of Ireland. Slim referred immediately to the death of Hammarskjold, which has overshadowed the normally routine organizational procedure at the opening meetings. "The shining example that Mr. Hammarskjold has given us should be an inspiration to all of us in this assembly," Slim said.

Slim is expected to play a major role in the efforts now point- on to work out a temporary arrangement to keep the office of secretary-general operating. Western diplomats haye been pushing a move to have him chosen as interim secretary-general, but he is reported cool to the idea. Boland also has been urped to take over the post, but he also is said to be reluctant. Whatever temporary arrangement is made, diplomats believe, probably will have to be done without Soviet support. Soviet foreign, 2nd graf 109-ta22 Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko indicated Moscow will settle for nothing less than a three-man secretarial to the world organization.

Under the stop-gap plan, the U.N. General Assembly would name an interim secretary-general to fill the position vacant by Hammarskjold's death. The West and many neutrals rallied to the support of the proposal. Soviet opposition heightened fears that the entire question of selecting a secretary-general would wind up in an East-West deadlock, leaving the U.N. administration without a leader.

This latest crisis was added to the agenda of talks between Secretary of Slate Dean Rusk and Gromyko, who agreed to open conferences Thursday. They originally had planned to discuss the Berlin crisis. News of the Soviet stand plunged delegates into gloom as the 99-nation assembly got down to business Tuesday. Hurricane Is Heading North; Virginia Coast Threat Eased Caution Becomes Watchword at UN Associated Press News Analyst UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The Soviet Union has thrown down what appeared to be a quick challenge to the United Nations to change its basic structure.

But on close inspection, the Kremlin's move seems a cautious one. That is the watchword at the United Nations as its assembly opens its 16th regular session in a strange brooding atmosphere produced by the death of Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjold. The delegations seem carefully measuring one another, almost like gamblers trying to gauge the odds on success or disaster. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko announced the Krem- insistence that there be a three-man secretariat to succeed Hammarskjold. With a built-in veto, that would mean paralysis for the United Nations' ability to put out dangerous fires.

But Gromyko added that it was not possible to change the charter to set up such a structure until Red China was admitted to mem- bership. That seems unlikely in this session, at any rate. And it gives the Soviet Union an should it feel it needs one. If pressing its demand should become too dangerous, politically or otherwise, the Kremlin has a readymade avenue of retreat. Gromyko's statement, however, did little to relieve the tension in U.N.

halls. It can burst suddenly into ominous crisis. The U.S. delegation 'gives the impression its cue for the time being is watchful waiting and listening. There is no inclination to telegraph any punch the United States may be intending to throw in the great diplomatic struggle now shaping up.

There is lively speculation about what the United States might do in the light of the Kremlin's intention to go ahead with its demand for a three-headed secretariat made up of a Communist, a Westerner and a neutral. Widely discussed is the possibility that the United States intends a counter-offensive involving a de- mand that Ihe nations of the world stand up and be counted for or against an effective peace organization. A firm United States stand behind the United Nations as the i last hope of peace, so the specu- I lation goes, could generate pres- sure from weaker countries on the Kremlin. Implicit in the approach i would be a U.S. threat to pull out of the United Nations if the Krem- lin should succeed in extracting I the secretariat's teeth.

Representatives of the so-called neutral nations here complain, however, that it was the United I States and its policies in the past which placed them in their present position in many instances. They complain about a lack of a i straight-line American policy which states clearly where the United States stands and avoids deviating from that line. The uncommitted nations, and many others among the 99 rep; resented here, now seem to be waiting for a firm expression of U.S. policy. Esther Takes Punch At North Carolina's Lonely Outer Banks Esther 2nd lead NORFOLK, Va.

(AP) Hurricane Esther took a poke at North Carolina's lonely outer banks today, then shifted her course to the north, casing an earlier threat to the Virginia coast. At 9 a.m. EST, the U.S. Weather Bureau at Norfolk said, "the threat of hurricane winds to Virginia is very slight." But the populous northeastern seaboard, still faced a major threat from Esther's raging winds and water, The weather advisory said it was likely that hurricane warnings from Hattcras, N.C., to the Virginia capes would be replaced shortly by gale warnings. The storm center, still packing 130 m.p.h.

winds, was expected to pass more than 100 miles to the east of the Virginia capes in mid-afternoon, the bureau reported. This would throw gale force winds at the Virginia coast and cause tides to run about two ieet above normal, the bureau said, mid-afternoon, the bureau report- Forecasters at Washington reported at 9 a.m. EST, that Esther was centered about 140 miles i northeast of Cape Hattcras and was expected to continue in a northerly direction about 15 m.p.h. during the next 12 to 18 hours. The storm's size and intensity were expected to remain about the same.

Meteorologist Glenn Sachse said Esther's 10 a.m. course was due north. All interests along the Atlantic Seaboard from Virginia northward were urged to keep posted on latest advisories and bulletins. Gale warnings and a hurricane watch remained in effect north of the Virginia capes to the Massachusetts coast, including Long Island. Residents in the hurricane should be ready for quick action in case it is necessary to issue hurricane warnings later a the Washington Weather Bureau warned.

Danger of major destruction in North Carolina appeared past. Tides were four to six feet above normal along the North Carolina coast and the weather bureau said tides along the coast north of Hatteras would continue to rise as the hurricane approaches. The sheriff's office said roads on North Carolina's Outer Banks suffered the major damage. About 300 residents of various fishing communities spent the night in the Buxton School on the Outer Banks. Thousands evacuated the Virginia and Maryland coast areas.

Esther, the season's first hurricane to menace the East Coast, churned up waves 33 feet high as she labored past the Diamond lightship off Hatteras, N. known as the "graveyard of the Atlantic." Her hurricane-force winds, reaching out 350 miles from the center in a northeast semicircle, pushed tides to eight feet above normal at some North Carolina points. The 48-mile Ocean Highway from Oregon Inlet to Hat- tcras was under water. Hundreds of Outer Banks residents refused to leave their fishing villages and were marooned. As the storm swirled northward state and' civil defense officials put emergency plans to work.

Many low-lying coastal areas were evacuated Huge military and naval installations were shut. Hurricane warnings flew in the Virginia cape area, and gale svarnings extended all the way to Portsmouth, N.H. A hurricane watch extended to the Massachusetts coast, including the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. The storm, labeled "big and dangerous" 'by the Weather Bureau, apparently did little damage in the rich eastern North Carolina agricultural region. The flue cured tobacco crop already had been harvested.

In Maryland, most of the residents' of Smiths Island, off the Eastern Shore, were evacuated. Gov. J. Millard Tawes put the state Under "maximum 1 Site of Hammarskjold Plane Crash RESCUE WORKERS PROBE SITE NEAR NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia, where DC6B carrying U.N.

Northeast Metropolitan Areas Brace for Hurricane's Punch General Motors, UAW Anticipate Settlement DETROIT (AP) Motors and the United Auto Workers union reached agreement today on a three-year contract covering GM's 350,000 hourly rated employes. DETROIT the clock toward their third deadline in three weeks, negotiators from General Motors Corp. and the United Auto Workers Union stretched continuous new contract bargaining beyond the 18th hour today.

There was no indication this morning when agreement might come, but company and union representatives emerging occasionally from the bargaining room gave every indication they anticipated a settlement, not a stalemate. At-the plant working agreements, which supplement the national contract, have stymied national-level bargaining since Sept. 11, when the UAW authorized local unions to walk out in support of their local-level demands. Four local setllements overnight brought to 98 the number of GM plants where such have been reached. That left 31 still to be wrapped up.

The latest agreements came at a Chevrolet assembly plant at Van Nuys, a Chevrolet warehouse in Los Angeles, Pontiac Motors at Pontiac, and Fisher Body No. 2 at Flint, Mich. Also still to be settled were non-economic natinal level issues. Bargainers began at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday their last-lap negotiations, aimed at settlement of outstanding local and national issues.

They reached agreement on an economic package of wage and fringe benefits just before a Sept 6 strike deadline. The UAW's General Motors Council wa.s scheduled lo meet in Detroit at 2 p.m. today to approve a new three-year contract. If no agreement is reached by I that time, the council could thorizc local unions to continue their strikes or it could call a nationwide walkout. President Picks New York Attorney To Head Aid Agency WASHINGTON Kennedy today picked New York attorney Fowler Hamilton to head the new foreign aid agency.

The selection was Kennedy's solution to a thorny problem of obtaining a man who could command wide support as director of the Agency for International Development. George D. Woods, New York financier, had been one of those considered for the post, but reports that he was a prospect stirred up opposition in Congress. Woods is chairman of the board of the First Boston which figured in the controversy several years ago over the Dixon- Yales contract to supply private power in the Tennessee Valley Authority network. Hamilton previously had figured in speculation as to a successor to Allen Dulles as head of the Central Intelligence Agency.

BELGIUM DIPLOMAT HOME FROM MOSCOW BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak arrived home today from talks on the Berlin crisis with Soviet Premier Khrushchev in Moscow. "Our conversation was sincere and useful," Spaak said. "We made, an effort to understand each other. When there is international tension, I have always been in favor of negotiations. Mr.

Khrushchev appeared sincere and i relaxed, but firm on certain points." Spaak, former secretary-general of NATO, visited Moscow at Khrushchev's invitation. 1 RIOTERS ON LOOSE THROUGHOUT RUANDA KAMPALA, Uganda CAP) Troops and special police are manning the entire Uganda-Ruan- da border because of fighting, 1 looting, cattle slaughtering and I arson in Ruanda, police said day.

Jamaica Withdraws From Indies Group KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) The new West Indies Federation, created by Britain to form a chain of free islands in the Caribbean, lost its largest and wealthiest member today after Jamaica voted to withdraw.

This weakened the position of I Prime Minister Norman Manley of Jamaica, who campaigned for federation with the other British islands stretching down to the coast of South America.

NEW YORK (AP) Hurricane Esther swirled up the eastern sea- hoard today amid feverish preparations to protect life and property from its fury. But indications developed that the populous northeast might be spared the brunt) of the storm.

Weather bureaus from Washington to Boston issued a noon advisory saying the hurricane had veered slightly seaward from Its former due north course. This raised hopes that the center of the tempest would pass offshore during the night and morning hours Thursday. Hurricane warnings were posted from eastern Long Island to Provincetown, Mass. A hurricane watch was kept in effect in areas to the west. At the same time, the coastal regions were expected to receive high tides and heavy wind and rain.

Residents of the Montauk resort area at the eastern tip of Long Island moved to higher ground Inland, in anticipation of the storm's lash. All precautions possible were taken to protect property. Earlier, thousands of persons fled coastal areas along the Middle Atlantic seaboard to escape a battering from Esther's wind and water. Esther slapped the North Carolina coast with 33-foot waves and high winds during the predawn hours as she plodded on a course that could send her inland) anywhere from the Virginia coast on up. Regardless of where she lands her deadly punch, the nation's mostly densely populated area appears certain to take a beating.

City, civil defense and military officials in the New York-New Jersey Connecticut metrppolitan area of some 16 million almost one tenth of the nation's population urged citizens to prepare for a possible emergency. New York City's Mayor Robert F. Wagner called an emergency meeting of a host of city agencies today. Civil defense officials in the city had cots, blankets and food in readiness, and 35 schools were 5 designated as temporary shelters. New York City in the midst 1 of the "hurricane watch" had this warning from the Weath- er Bureau: Winds up to 40 miles i an hour, and even stronger than that late today rain today, becoming tonight tides one to thri'e feet above normal today, even higher late in the day, i with some flooding at high tide.

I The Weather- Bureau's warning i to the hurricane watch zone was: I "Keep in touch with latest infor- mution on Hurricane Esther." Two Texas Towers off New England have been evacuated by the Air Force, mindful of the ULsas- trous collapse of a similar radar warning structure in a storm last January off New Jersey. Aircraft at Air Force bases throughout the threatened area were sent flying to safety at bases far inland some going as far as Wright-Patterson and Lockbourne Air Force Bases in Ohio.
