Porter said there were. about 500 disorganized Katan- gan troops there, but they were drinking beer, too.

He added that any thought of a U.N. advance on Mokambo set these soldiers to thinking of moving somewhere else. Messages From Tshombe A dispatch today from Ndola, Northern Rhodesia, said two light planes arrived there yes- terday from Kolwezi with Katangan a Jean Tasneiez, representative of the government, said they carried messages from Tshombe to Munongo, and it was under- ostood Tshombe wanted his in: terior minister to organize re- sistance southeast of ville.
