Herbert Dimling, president of the Dimling Candy company, dismissed 130 employes who had made and sold candy in the firm's factory and 11 retail stores in the Pittsburgh district.

The union is local 12 of the AFL Bakery and Confectionery Work ers, whose members have been on strike at Dimling properties since Nov. 17. The company's retail stores had been closed. Dimling said he had reached an agreement with union officers Srni day, but the next day the union held a meeting and added new conditions.

He said both sides had agreed on a 10 per cent wage increase and had compromised on other issues, including earlier clos ing of stores on holidays. The settlement snagged, it was disclosed, on an Issue involving 30 cents a day for night workers. The union demanded 10 cents an hour extra for work between 6 and 10 ana rerusea uimung oner to pay the premium for work be tween 9 and 10 p. m. Dimling said his decision to quit business was influenced partly by his disappointment over the union's strike action preventing (TRIBUNE fhotoj Feast Saturday A shipment of haggis, a pudding made' in Scotland and encased in a sheep's stomach, arrived at Mid way airport yesterday for serving Saturday at the Illinois St.

"We showed the union the ad dresses and proved there was noth ing in the shipments but boxes of candy for GIs," Dimling said, but they wouldnt give us permission. We had to refund the money to customers who had placed these orders." Dimling had been associated for 32 years with the company, whic! his father founded in 1875.

The raid followed a tip from Kenyan two African po licemen who told Supt.

Instead, the men rushed at the police, who opened fire.

The incident was the latest in the police campaign to disband the secret Mau Mau cult which seeks to force the white settlers from this British colony. The British brought Jomo Burning Spear Kenyatta and six other East African tribal leaders to trial today on charges of being members of the outlawed Mau Mau. 7 Defendants Handcuffed The seven prisoners were brought handcuffed into a small courthouse at Kapenguria. They also are charged with conspiring to incite disaffection against the colonial government. All pleaded innocent.

A. G. Somerhough, deputy public prosecutor, opening the case for the British crown, declared that Mau Mau is the militant wing of the nationalistic Kenya African union. Kenyatta headed this group. Somerhough described Kenyatta, 59, as "an exceptionally widely traveled educated African who has had the advantage of contact with a great many people of standing both here and in Europe." Kenyatta has a white wife.

He was educated and spent much time in England. A Reuters dispatch said a KiJcuyu tribesman, S3, who begged that his name be withheld, testified for the prosecution that he saw Kenyatta administer the Mau Mau ritualistic of ini- tiation to Solomon Nemia in March, 1950.1 CRIME PROBER'S 'OPERATIVE 21 9 SENT TO PRISON Edward Duggan, 51, of 4356 Kenmore an ex-convict, who described himself as "Operative 21" on the staff of Aaron Kohn, former chief investigator of the city council's anti-crime commit tee, was sentenced to one to two years in prison yesterday for lar ceny by bailee.

Canon David E. Gibson Casino club dinner. The Rev. Canon David E. Gibson, leader in aiding skid row habitues in the last 50 years, was given dinner last night in the Casino club.

In attendance were 200 civic and social leaders. Canon Gibson was a Chicago businessman before being ordained to the priesthood by the late Bishop Charles P. Anderson, the head of the Episcopal diocese. Bishop Wallace E. Conkling, Episcopal bishop of Chicago, presided at the dinner and outlined plan to expand the work of Cathedral Shelter, developed by Canon Gibson at the old site of the Cathedral of SS.

Floats 1,000 Miles Then the river turned west. Puzzled, Stanley followed. The forest became intense. No Arab had dared penetrate It. Already Stanley had lost his three white companions and half of his carriers were dead.

For a thousand miles Stanley floated a. dugout canoe down the river. He came at last to the final pool before the river plunged down a thousand feet to the sea 100 miles away. Into the woods Stanley again went and when he finally came out on the sea, had been gone three years. He had discovered one of the world's major water ways.

Stanley's dispatch, announcing his discovery, was just what Leopold of Belgium was waiting for. Eyes African Empire He had his eye on an African empire and about all left uiv claimed was. the interior. Stanley's trip showed that if the Atlantic rim could be pierced, the Congo river was the key opening to a vast area. Leopold wasted no time.

He called some of his European pals together to form the Interna national Association of the It was supposed to be sort of a charitable outfit to bring Christ! anity and stop slaving and canni balism. It promised free trade to all Europeans. Leopold was chairman. The association hired Stanley 4o goup the river and start organizing, In 1879 Stanley was back on the Congo. He set to work build' ing ar road past the rapids.

The road took two years and earned Stanley the name of Bula Matari, of Africa. which is local talk for rock breaker." In five years Stanley's carriers had pulled five boats up the road, to the pool. Stanley had signed up 500 local chiefs, as lieges of Leopold. He had started 40 settlements along the Congo and its main tributaries. Sets Up "Free State The international association didn't work out too well too many fingers in the pie.

Leopold pulled strings and got European rulers? to accept the Congo as a "free state" over which Leopold was absolute sovereign. The United States also recognized the deed. Soar, Leopold had spent much more money in the Congo than he was getting back. He was a rich man but he began to feel the pinch. He got his European pals to let him go on his promise not to levy import duties on goods sent into the Congo.

He an nounced he was willing the Congo to the Belgian nation and on the strength of that wangled a five million dollar personal loan from the Belgian government. Leopold needed some help, some people who would go out into the Congo and work. But how to get people there! In 1892 he decreed that all land in the Congo not ac tually being farmed and the farm plots were few and small belonged to him. He then turned over great chunks to adventurers to develop. He gave them sole right to products of the "empty lands." The main product, at the time, was ivory, but the world was on the verge of a new boom wild rubber.

Offer Cloth and' Beads Some adventurers offered enough cloth or beads or other merchandise to get quite a num ber of volunteer workers. Others merely put a gun to the chief's head, told him he had to turn over so much ivory and rubber in such and such a time, or else. Others varied between the two extremes. In two years, a million dollars worth of rubber and ivory came out of the Congo- Leopold trimmed the conces siorrs but anyway the wild rubber boom was over. Leopold died and the Congo, taken over by the Belgian government as a colony, drifted along.

It awoke again after World War I when metals were scarce and the concessions were reorganized into mining concerns. Bv 1929, about 25,000 white people were in the Congo, mostly connected with the mines. Came the depression and whoof went the mines. Several thousand Europeans left. Came World War H.

Prices shot up. Feopie hurried there. The mines boomed. The boom has continued. People are coming here as fast as they can get government permits.

Unlike other colonial countries, Belgium does not close the Congo to all except Belgians. All per sons, supposedly, are equally welcome. However, most of the 70,000 white people here are Belgians "It just happens to be so," the administration explains.

.1 TRACING CONGO A STANLEY FEAT FIT FOR A KING Leopold of Belgium Gets Wide African Valley This is another article in a series by the chief of the London, bureau of The Chicago Tribune who is on a tour of British, French, and Bel gian colonies in BY ARTHUR VEYSEY Chicago Tribune Pren Service LEOPOLD VILLE, Belgian Congo, Dec. 3 Seventy-five years ago Henry M. Stanley told his new boss, King- Leopold of Belgium, that he thought about 45 million people lived in the 1.20Q mile wide saucer shaped Congo river valley. When about 25 years later the Belgian administrators got around to counting the people they found only seven million. What hap pened to the other 38 million? Some Belgians say they existed only in Stanley's enthusiasm.

Others say thecounters missed lots of people and the population was really more than seven mil lion. Still others recall, in a whis per, the wave of death that swept across the Congo with the arrival of a few hundred white men men who sought the white sap of jungle vines which, exposed to the air, became rubber. Some of the white men didn't care how they got the rubber, so long as they got it. Today the. population of the Congo is about 11 million.

An other four million live on the slopes of the Mountains of the Moon which, high and healthy, are among the most densely populated areas of Africa. Four Major Groups The total of 15 million can be divided roughly into four groups: 1 The Pygmies, the 40,000 or so remnants of the oldest living human iribe in the Congo forests. They live in the forests because they fled there, long ago, from 2 The Negroes, who moved in probably from the Nile valley many, many hundred years ago. They are shiny black, eat mostly a long, green banana which grows easily but needs cooking, are of medium height, have broad shoulders, thin hips and spindly legs. They live along river valleys, and have built villages in jungle clearings.

They also inhabit the higher and drier grasslands, altho they have lost the best land of all, the slopes of the Mountains of the Moon, to 3 The Watutsl. These are tall, proud people. Most men are over six feet Many are seven feet. They are thin, dance like the blazes and can jump a fence eight feet high. They probably arrived from upper Egypt a few hundred years ago Most Whites Are Belgians To these three groups have been added 4 The white men.

They came first by the ones and twos, then 'by the tens and hundreds, and now they are coming by the thousands. Today they number about 70,000. Most are Belgians. The first white man who came here was Stanley. He was born John Rowlands in Denbigh, Wales, but he was cast off by his family, went to America, was adopted by a man whose name 'he took, became a newspaper man, and came to Africa, first dispatched by his boss, James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald, who thought an attempt to "find" the Scottish missionary Explorer David Livingstone would sell some papers.

Livingstone wasn't exactly lost. He was wandering around the grasslands of east central Africa, getting supplies and sending out mail via the Arab traders who were then busy in that part of the world. Finds Livingstone Anyway, Stanley "found" Livingstone under a tree, saying, Dr. Livingstone, I presume? The adventure whetted his bold spirit. soon organized another expedition to learn if large river Livingstone had seen flowing northward in central Africa was really the "Nile.

Stanley started out, in 1874, from Zanzibar, the Arab Spice is land in the Indian ocean off the cast African coast. With three other Britons and 300 Zanzibar men toting supplies on their heads, he rode his donkey thru the grasslands and onto the 5,000 foot range that separates the grasslands of the east and the jungled west. He came down into the woods and found Livingstone's river. Partly by river, partly by land, he made his way downstream. For a thousand miles the river went northward and Stanley was dfiML AT HOLIDAY PARTIES SAVE now Here'i a wonderful Xmas present that will make you a popular, sought-after pa-tnr at holiday parties!

Detectives revealed that the money consisted of one $10,000 wwu diiis ana nunareas of others ranging from $1 to $100. Atty. Larry Gresser told police Stewart visited him three years ago and had him draw up a will leaving his estate to St.

John's university, Brooklyn. Gresser said he had no idea that Stewart had such a fortune. with a market value of 16 millions. Young said such tax exempt foundations should be required to nublish reoorts on their finances and activities to show that they are not operating secretly but for th nnWir? welfare' pn rw rr i gested foundations need a better system of public relations. Malcolm P.

Aldrich, president of the Commonwealth fund, also testified in favor of published foun dation reports on their finances and grants, as most big founda tions do. He said the Common- with a gift from Mrs. Stephen V. Harkness, has assets with a book value of 85 million dollars and market value of 97 millions. He said the fund is primarily interested in the promotion of health thru grants for medical education, experimental health serv ices, and medical research.

John W. Davis to Testify Aldrich said no funds have been paid to known subversives by the foundation. The committee recessed until Friday, when it will hear officials of the Marshall Field and Whit- ney Foundations. Keele said John W. Davis, 1924 Democratic presidential nominee, will appear voluntarily next week to explain why Alger Hiss was selected as president of the Carnegie Endow- ment for International Peace, Hiss, former high state department 'of- ficial, is serving a five year prison sentence for perjury to conceal Russian espionage.

Davis was chairman of the corn- mittee which prior to Hiss con- vlction selected Hiss as president of the Carnegie endowment, and John Foster Dulles, designated by President Elect Eisenhower as his state secretary, as chairman of the 1 board of trustees.
