he discusses 0 -7 his differences with us While this is sometimes irritating he has gained re- lit spect thinking for his candor and stimulated our own Since his last visit to the United ''a 1 States

sincere desire to do everything they can to assist the people of India in their programs of progress We are proud of the fact that we have been able to provide them loans and grants without any strings whatever of 3 billion 72 million dollars since India became independent But he will have noticed one significant and disturbing change since his last visit to this country Putting it bluntly

Not Military Neutralism I am not referring to military neutralism We do not demand or expect that India and other countries join our military alliances if they prefer not to do so Nor do I speak of economic neutralism There are very few in this country who are so lacking in understanding of the immensely complex problems of nations like India that they insist that our exact economic system can or should be adopted by all countries The great majority of the American people recognize that India should and must solve its economic and social problems in a tailored to meet its own needs What I

that more than 2000 Congolese troops have risen in mutiny in the Eastern Congo Diplomatic informants said the rebellion was being directed by An-tine Gizenga the leftist heir of former Premier Patrice Lumumba He thus emerged into open and forceful defiance of the United Nations and the Central Congo government A UN spokesman said the United Nations intend to put down the lawlessness by force if necessary Diplomatic informants said Gizenga is directing a mutiny against central government aut ho ri ty in Kindu the Kivu provincial town north of the secessionist province of Katanga OTHER MUTINEERS wer reported to have created serious disorders in the North Katanga city of Albertville Diplomatic sources said the left-wing politician set himself up in Kindu last Saturday leaving his former stronghold at Stanleyville in Oriental Province to one-time allies who now adhere to the Leopoldville government Gizenga who once accepted the post of vice premier in Premier Cyrille Adoula's central government here made his defiance open and apparently final yesterday when he forced two of his former allies Gen Victor Lundula and Christophe Gbenye out of Kindu in fear of their lives MutinouS soldiers at Kindu refused to hand over 13 Italian airmen they had arrested and beaten Saturday Lundula and Gbenye had gone to Kindu to get the Italians freed GIZENGA'S defiance of United Nations and the Central Congo government was reported one day after a UN investigating commission in another development said that in all probability Lumumba and two of his aides were killed last January in the presence of Katanga secessionist leader Moise Tshombe That report was issued in advance of a UN Security Council meeting on The Congo to day to consider African demands for strong UN action to end the secession of Katan ga Province The 13 Italian airmen were arrested on the same day as Gizenga's arrival in Kindu They had just flown two UN planes into Kindu airport Diplomats said that if the Italians are still alive they may be held as hostages against a UN attempt to quell the rebellion Diplomats said Lundula and Gbenye retaliating against Gizenga will now seek to wipe out the last vestiges of his strength in Stanleyville from where Gizenga once claimed to rule The Congo as legal premier The UN reported the two former Lumumbists flew directly to Stanleyville from Kindu NINE Only 20 By RICHARD YOUNGBLOOD WARROAD Minn (11)-- Since September 20-year-old Rita Foster has been both mother and father to eight younger brothers and sisters Their father died from cancer in September a year almost to the day after cancer had taken the life of their mother Rita stepped in to keep the family together SEVERAL RELATIVES live in the Warroad Community "I suppose we could have sent the kids to live with them" says Rita "But that would have meant splitting them up and I will not have that" Her voice had the snap of authority as she told one of the younger children to hang up

holdings including a Blowing Rock development Mr Edwards told The News he is willing to put up enough money to get the speedway out of financial hot water "if the various groups involved are willing to cooperate" Mr Smith said he has been trying for "a week and a half" to arrange a meeting between Mr Edwards and speedway trustee Robert Robinson Mr Robinson's secretary told The News the attorney has been out of town on business since Monday Be was to return today Mr Smith said he would base his challenge on the fact that 'Mr Robinson shares office space with Robert Perry an attorney who formerly represented the speedway The challenge will come Mr Smith said at a court hearing scheduled Dec 8 Part of the purpose of the hearing is to allow any parties in the court action to challenge the trustee's status as a disinterested party AS TRUSTEE Mr Robinson has control over all speedway property and assets Mr Smith was one of the speedway employes not retained when Mr Robinson assumed the trusteeship early this month Mr Smith was a former officer and director in the corporation but was discharged in that capacity in a management shake up several months ago The speedway is in effect a ward of the federal court under a "Chapter Ten" proceeding an action to allow a corporation to reorganize Its statutory provision is Chapter 10 of the Federal Bankruptcy Statute Mr Edwards contacted by The News at his Blowing Rock home said "The object is to take the speedway out from under this Chapter Ten" "My interest" he said "would be to preserve the speedway as a good industry in Charlotte without wiping anybody out I don't think people involved fully appreciate what you have there" Ile said any arrangement by which he would pick up the speedway financing would depend on "understanding" by creditors who have threatened to sell the track at auction lie refused to name a specific figure but said he is willing to put "substantial amounts" into speedway financing I 1 I 1 personally felt that the government probably would approve the project "The surveyors indicated" Mr Broome said "that similar projects many of them not as necessary as the Sugar Creek project have been approved" Sugar Creek has long been a wet bone in the throat of the city The flood dangers of the creek are welii known having resulted in past years in damage to properties and utilities The city first approached the Corps of Engineers In July 1959 requesting the flood-control survey The favorable report was sent to Washington this past summer by Walter Bell chief of the engineer's division US Army in Charleston Mr Bell had no idea of the amount of time needed for final government approval The report has been in Washington more than three months Sugar Creek Baptists Here In '63?

was ready to press today for quick UN action to get the disrupted east-west disarmament negotiations started again This word came from authoritative sources as the General Assembly's main political committee prepared to begin a comprehensive debate on general disarmament Stevenson a scheduled to speak immediately after Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A Zorin delivered a Soviet policy speech There was no direct word from the Russians as to what Zarin would say but some delegations assumed he would offer to negotiate if five nonaligned countries are added to the five Western and five Communist countries that took part in the negotiations that collapsed in Geneva 17 months ago THE RUSSIANS have been insisting upon this extension of the troika principle to the disarmament negotiations while the western Powers have refused to give equal representation to the nonaligned countries The west has insisted so far that only three neutralist countries be added to the original 10 The question of how many countries should be included in the negotiations has been the main stumbling block to a resumption of negotiations Stevenson and former disarmament representative John McCloy sought to resolve this issue last summer in a series of private meetings with Zorin but without success Others have been working on the problem too One of these is the veteran Mexican diplomat Lois Padilla Nervo chairman of the inactive UN Disarmament Commission who has disclosed that he is trying to get new US- Soviet talks in motion to settle the numbers deadlock "I would like to propose" Padilla Nervo said "that the powers start talking among themselves as soon as possible about how to agree on the composition of the negotiating body "Because as long as they do not agree on the composition there is no negotiating and therefore there is no step for ward" The political committeP's disarmament debate follows a long detailed discussion of proposals to end nuclear bomb testing

proceed with plans to set up a cost-sharing authority with the government for "comprehensive flood control works along the creek" SEVERAL DECISIONS still remain to be made by the city It will be necessary for the local government to share in the cost of the project An undefined portion of the cost would be born by the Corps of Engineers according to the report Neal Broome city engineer said
