Army To Quit Congo GENEVA, (UPD United Nations Secretary General Thant has ordered the complete withdrawal of U. N. troops from the Congo by the end of this year, it was officially reported today. Staff aides said Thant, who is visiting in Geneva, directed that arrangements be made for the pull-out by Dec. 31.

They dismissed as speculation reports that a small contingent of troops would remain behind during the first part of 1964. The United States has requested that such a force stay on to prevent violence until the Central Congolese government has organized its army. Thants decision was made primarily to save money, the aides said. SOME TO STAY They said it is possible the secretary general will permit a few advisers to stay in the Congo but that all troops will be pulled out. The U.

N. force totaled more than 19,000 men at the height of the Congo crisis. It has been reduced steadily this year and in June numbered about 8,000. Thants aides said political considerations also played some part in the withdrawal decision, although the U. N.

financial crisis was the main reason.

ARCHIE LUPER Celebrating Anniversary Loop's Luper: 21 Cents To 8 Restaurants A man who arrived in Ventura in January of 1942 with 21 cents in his pocket and who now operates eight fine restaurants and a 96-unit plush motel in Sout.iern California marks a birthday Wednesday that is a memorable milestone in his fabulous career The man is Archie W.

Luper, president of Loops Motor Hotels, and Loop's Restaurants, Inc The birthday is Loop's East Main establishment, opened just 10 years ago Wednesday. SMALL BEGINNING Luper, a native Oklahoman, and his wife, Frankie, opened their first restaurant at 230 W. Main, Ventura, in 1947, after several years of scraping and saving. It was called Archies and Frankie's Cottage Cafe. And it was from here that Luper gained the know-how that was to take him to one of the top rungs on the nations restaurant ladder.

From the Cottage Cafe and West Main Luper went to East Main where he had bought a piece of ground that was formerly a walnut orchard. Here he built the first Loops, changing the spelling from his nickname somewhat because he feared Lupe's would sound like i Spanish cafe. The great success of this ven ture subsequently led to the opening of the seven other Loops at Oxnard, Tarzana, Montalvo, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Lompoc, and soon Carpinteria. The eight restaurants will seat 1,715 persons. Two more motor hotels and two food houses are in the planning stage.

One of the food houses will be a cafeteria at the Buenaventura Center, where Luper will also operate a bakery. NEW VENTURES The restaurateur is also building 10 San Francisco-style cable car cafes, which will be an almost exact reproduction of the S.F. cars. These will be located in Ventura and other points throughout California and the West. If the cars prove themselves in the Luper style, many more will follow.

When not working (which isnt often) Luper may be found trav ellng or playing golf. (He has been in most countries in the world and has business interests in Australia and Pakistan). The restaurateur is a trustee of Pepperdine College and an active member and worker in the Church of Christ And how does Luper explain his great success?

Boyds statement was in response to a request for closer supervision of the charter business made by J.
