NL Chief Charges Belgium mpermg Large Scale Infiltration Is Reported United Nations, N.Y., Nov, General Dag Hammarskjold charged today that large-scale Belgian activities in the Congo are hampering U.N. efforts to restore law and order. In a voluminous report to the General Assembly, Ham- marskjold said large numbers of Belgian nationals were returning to the Congo and were exerting strong influence on the temporary administration set up by Col. Joseph Mobutu.

He blamed the Belgians for a growing hostile attitude on the part of the Mobutu government toward the U.N. Command. Many of the young commissioners in that government, he said, were constantly accompanied by Belgian advisers to whom they listened. Hammarskjold called for a government of conciliation in which all warring factions would take part. The long-awaited report was from the U.N.

secretary's special representative, Indian diplomat Rajeshwar Dayal, who blamed a new influx of Belgian nationals for part of the difficulty in the troubled African country. Dayal made it plain that he believed the Mobutu coup had gravely complicated the situation. He said it had stymied all political activity and had actually become "the principal fomenter of lawlessness." One of the results, he added, was-that "the chaotic administrative and economic situation reached the verge of collapse" before the U. N. Command stepped in firmly and took a more active hand.

Belgians In Key Areas "It may be concluded that a gradual but purposeful return is being staged by Belgian nationals, which has assumed serious significance in view of the key areas which they have penetrated In the public life of the country and the possible effect of their activities on all respects of the UNC's (the U.N. Command) responsibilities," the secretary-general told the assembly. "All too often these developments have coincided with anti- U.N. policies or feelings at the various points of impact." The activities of the returning Belgians, Hammarskjold said, ap pear to be "clearly at variance with" assembly directives and with the U. N.

Command's basic objectives. The secretary-general made public communications in which he had protested against the activities of Belgian nationals in the Congo, which was a Belgian territory until last July. Hammarskjold said that some Belgian nationals "are believed to have been actively arming separatist Congolese forces and, in some cases, Belgian officers have directed and led such forces which, in certain areas, have been respon- s.ible for brutal and oppressive acts of violence." He said some of the Belgians are returning to the Congo "partially through what seems to be an organized recruiting campaign in Belgium." Demands By Soviets Hammarskjold's report came in the wake of mounting Soviet demands that he say what the United Nations is doing to suppress what the Soviets call "the subversive activities of Belgian agents" in the Congo, The Indian head of the U. N. mission in Congo, Rajeshwar Dayal, headed here from Leopold- vllie to report on the mounting obstacles in the path of the United Nations' Congo operation.

Dayal is expected to tell Ham marskjold that Congo President Joseph Kasavubu and the army chief, Colonel Mobutu (Turn to Page 5) Gaitskell Remains Head Of British Labor Party Reds In East Germany May Be Facing A Purge London, Nov. 3.

Storm In Pakistan Leaves 4,000 Dead Chittagong, Pakistan, Nov. thousand more persons reportedly- were killed Monday by a cyclone and tidal wave in the hittagong area of the Bay oi Bengal coast. It was East Pakistan's second such catastrophe within a month A cyclone and tidal wave on Oct 10 killed an estimated 6,000 persons on islands off the coast. The first semi-official assessment of Monday's storm damage was announced today.

Deaths and damage have not yet been reported from the islands wrecked by the previous storm. The governor of East Pakistan Gen. Azam Khan, said he saw 'innumerable dead" during a helicopter flight over the stricken area On the island of Kutudbia, he said, officials told him 1,000 people were killed Monday. Azam Khan said a 20-foot wave submerged the islands for about 45 minutes anc some places remain inundated.

GKAN1) JURY TO CONVENE Topeka, Nov. federa grand jury is to convene here Nov 14. Dist. Atty. Wilbur Leonard said about 60 cases will be presented.

He indicated most of them will be of a routine nature, Berlin, Nov. the 1J nillion members of the Communist mrty in Red-ruled East Germany were ordered today to' turn in their cards. This looked like a full-scald purge. Since last summer, the lower ranks of the party leadership have seen undergoing a shift. One'Com munist organ estimated 60,000 minor officials have been fired or transferred.

Now all party members are to get a "The exchange of cards," said the leadership, "will fortify the role of the party as the advance guard of all the working people." The announcement was published in large type and without comment in- the official party daily Neues Deutschland as a decision of the Central Committee affecting all members and candidates for membership. It was dated Nov. 1. New cards will be distributed to be valid from Dec. 1 Old cards will become invalid Jan.

1. All members and candidates are required to attend two mass meetings, one to be held before Dec 11 and the other sometime in January. The meetings are to discuss improving party "work with the where youth is concerned. It seems likely that members especially those who have not been too active, will be reminded at the first meeting that the party expect more of them. The seconc meeting would provide an opportunity to see if the slackers have taken the warning to heart.

Western experts familiar with Communist party practice suggested that the object may be to get additional work out of the less enthusiastic and to fire those considered altogether unworthy. It is a chronic complaint that the party contains many careerists. These are people who join simply to get ahead in their regular jobs-, and neglect the party's endless round of meetings anc propaganda activities.

Kapp have become accredited by the Council for Clinical Training, Inc. for training hospital chaplains and seminary students.

Announcement was made by the council at its annual meeting just concluded in Washington, D.C. Fifty institutions in the United States are accredited as pastoral training centers. Clinical Pastoral Training provides a pastoral care approach to a learning situation, clinical and interdisciplinary, in a setting under accredited supervision in an accredited institution. It offers theological students and clergymen opportunities for intensive involvement in, and evaluation of pastoral relationships and for the development of a maturing grasp of their religious faith. It seeks to clarify in understanding and practice the resources, methods, and meaning of religion as expressed in pastoral care.

Chaplain Kapp has been working toward accreditation for the past year. Last summer three seminary students completed a 12-weeks pastoral training course at the hos-i pilal. I En Route With Kennedy, Nov. 3 John F. Kennedy said today Arizona and the nation "are going Democratic next week." Kennedy told a morning street In remarks at a rally at the statehouse after being introduced by former Gov.

James F. Byrnes, a Democrat for Nixon, the vice president said: "The South will refuse to gamble on untried, uninformed leadership in foreign affairs. The South will resentfully reject a candidate who keeps insisting that America is second rate." Nixon linked Kennedy with a. school of thought in the Democratic party which he said stands for "rampaging federalism in housing, education, urban affairs, natural resuorces, labor affairs and agriculture." "They stand for wild spending, higher prices, higher taxes, and they stand for political abuse of our currency. They stand for seizure of industry, for raiding the Treasury.

They stand against states' rights," Nixon added. Nixon traveled here from New York, jubilantly voicing confidence that President Eisenhower's New York area campaigning in his behalf heralds a Republican victory at the polls next Tuesday. In South Carolina, Nixon said of Kennedy: "I know of no prior campaign in which in three successive attempts to solve grave problems a candidate made I CM ciitical mistake each and every MnHdl I MrlVCir'C time-mistakes so serious that in IN VUG I VKllCllllbl IV rWlU rnVblCS each instance, had he been president, our nation could have been bungled into war."

Albert Schweitzer, Winters emphasized that an example is not the main thing, it is the only thing and is worth 1,000 answers. "Teachers are the exam-' pies," he reiterated over and over. "Kids worship older people and sometimes they love their teachers almost to a point of distraction." Dr. Winters, former crime com- 1 missioner of Michigan, counselor for Chicago's skid row, minister; and lecturer, held his audience in- rapt attention on his return having addressed last year's teachers convention here and returning by popular "We are at a cross roads which can be ghastly or glorious," ha said. "We who care hold the future in our hands and that is an awful rseponsibtlity.

Tomorrow's world depends upon choice arid all this comes under the business of- education." Using the Teacher Association? theme for the "If We Cafe! Enough," Dr. Winters divided youth into four groups the carefree-, the confused, the criminal and the creative.

"Judging from the people who turned out here," said Kennedy, "it's a mighty thin bag." Arizona's largest politicial turnout of the year greeted Kennedy. There were an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 at the airport, 2,000 at a breakfast and 5,000 at an outdoor speech. He added that Goldwater's presidential nomination prospects in 1964 may be improved "because we're going to retire Mr. Nixon to beautiful California." Kennedy struck at the Republican record on conservation and said, "Do you believe the Republican party, committed to no new can they build Arizona?" He said dams all over the United States are memorials to Franklin D. Roosevelt, but the memorial of this administration was contained in three new starts."

Nixon predicted that "six days from now the South will truly rise again." The vice president called the Democratic platform "dangerous foolishness" and termed it "eon- tempuous cynicism" for Kennedy to have picked Sen. L.vnodn B. Johnson of Texas as his vice? presidential running mate. In his second prepared statement, Nixon accused Kennedy of shifting "from blatant untruth to misleading insinaution" in what the vice president called a change of position on several issues ing these homestretch days of the campaign. Nixon came to South Carolina after a day of campaigning in New York where he was joined by President Eisenhower and Henry Cabot L.odge, vice-presidential candidate.

Prizes Awarded To Americans Stockholm, Nov. 3 Two American Willard F. Libby and Dr. Donald A. Glaser awarded the 1960 Nobel prises in chemistry and physics.

Libby, 51, former member of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, was awarded the chemistry prize for devising the "atomic time clock," a method of determining the age of fossils, wood and other organic matter by measuring the amount of radioactive carbon present. The process can determine within 300 years the age of samples as old as years. Glaser, 34 and a member of the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, was named the physics laureate for invention of the "bubble bath chamber" for photographing atomic particles.

Superheated liquid in the chamber slows down the high-speed particles until they appear in graphs as a string of bubbles.
