ROAD TO REOPEN:
Katanga Submits to UN;
O'Brien Charges Sabotage
ELISABETHVILL (P) - Katanga bowed to a threat of United
Nations force last night and agreed to reopen the main road to the
Elisabethville airport that was barricaded during the day by Ka-,
targan troops and police.
At the same time in New York the former UN chief in Katanga,
Connor Cruise O'Brien, accused the British government and British
%gutter millionaires" of sabotaging the UN in the Congo by en-

SANTA DOMINGO (P)-Terror-
ists urged on by soldiers attacked
other civilians last night in a
vain effort to break a seven-day
anti-government strike.
Led by two uniformed police
and an'air force officer wearing
battle dress and firing a machine
gun, a band of 20 smashed shops
and clubbed down civilians.
Angry anti-government crowds
fought back with rocks and sling-
shots. At least five persons were
wounded by fragments from noise
bombs hurled to hold back grow-
ing mobs.
The flareup was the result of a
transparent attempt by the arm-
ed forces to touch off a wave of.
pillage against storeowners hold-
ing out against government orders
-to open up.
The attempt was an apparent
failure. Soldiers exhorted residents
of the poorest neighborhoods to
rise against the shopkeepers and
steal, except for the 20 or so who
responded the appeals went un-
heeded.
Strike-supporting youths defied
the clubmen with rocks and sling-
shots in the heart of the down-
town area and a huge anti-gov-
ernment crowd formed to defend
closed shops-
*ion of Katanga province.
Tensions between UN and Ka-
tanga forces built up to a flash-
point before Katanga Foreign
Minister Evariste Kimba announc-
ed agreement on reopening the
airport artery.
Professes Surprise
Kimba professed surprise at the
new barricade construction that
followed by hours his threat to
shoot down all UN planes flying
over this secessionist province.
The agreement came within an
hour of a UN ultimatum threat-
ing military action unless the Ka-
tanga forces removed the road-
blocks that had paralyzed traffic
between Elisabethville and the
airport and a UN Indian troop
camp.
Armored Cars
Katangan armored cars faced
each roadblock. Five minutes be-
fore the UN ultimatum was to
expire Katanga paratroops still
were digging in at one barricade.
O'Brien, former Irish diplomat,
told a news conference that Brit-
ish support had provoked violence
by President Moise Tshombe's Ka-
tanga forces against UN troops.
O'Brien left UN service and re-
signed from the Irish Foreign Ser-
vice last week with a bitter state-
ment against Britain and France.
Deny Charges
Britain and France have denied
the charges.
O'Brien declined to go into de-
tails on the pressure allegedly
used here. He said he would clear
up a number of other questions in
a book he is planning to write on
his Congo experiences.
Council Acts
On Proposal
By Colombia
Foreign Ministers
To Discuss Threats
WASHINGTON (P) -- The Or-
ganization of American States
dealt Cuba's Fidel Castro a sharp
diplomatic defeat yesterday by
agreeing to consider collective ac-
tion against his Communist re-
gime.
By a 14-2 vote, the council of
the 21-nation hemispheric group
approved a Colombian proposal for
a foreign ministers' conference to
consider "threats to the peace and
the political independence" of the
American republics.
Under the resolution, the for-
eign ministers will meet Jan. 10
to consider collective action
against the Communism now
openly avowed by Castro.
Roll Call
Voting for the resolution, were
Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salva-
dor, the United States, Guatemala,
Haiti, Honduras Nicaragua, Pan-
ama, Paraguay Peru, The Domin-
ican Republic, Uruguay and Ven-
ezuela.
Cuba voted against it and was
joined by Mexico-the latter na-
tion explaining its vote was based
on juridical reasons.
Abstaining on the roll call were
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile
and Ecuador.
In casting its negative vote,
Cuba claimed the proposal is "an
effort by the United States to gain
accomplices for a new invasion
of Cuba."
Lacked Proper Basis
The Mexican spokesman said
the Colombian proposal lacked a
proper basis because it dealt only
with possible threats to peace and
not with present threats.
The foreign ministers' meeting
undoubtedly Will be called on to
set up diplomatic and economic
sanctions against the three-year-
old Castro regime on the ground
that its Communist alignment
threatens every nation in the
hemisphere through subversion or
possible invasion.
It was a similar meeting that
set up sanctions against the Tru-
jillo dictatorship in the Domini-
can Republic.
Fidel Castro confirmed early Sat-
urday that Cuba is definitely in
the Communist orbit and that he is
a devoted Marxist and will be one
"until the day I die."
Meanwhile the United States,
which contends Cuba under Castro
is a nation under Communist rule,
renewed under presidential proc-
lamation a ban on purchases of
about $170 million worth of sugar
from Cuba per year.
India Acts
To Check
Portugal
NEW DELHI (P) - India yes-
terday rushed troops to the bor-
ders of the little Portuguese coast-
al enclave of Goa amid mounting
tension in the area south of Bom-
bay.
Authoritative sources said India
is taking steps to meet the threat
created by a Portuguese military
buildup in Goa.
The Indian government long has
sought to add the little enclave
to this country and Portugal has
shown determination to hold it.
See National Emergency ,
The sources said the situation
is being dealt with on the basis
of a national emergency since the
Goan question flared up recently.
The flareup came with an Indian
charge that one of its fishermen
was shot dead by the Portuguese.
More than 100 passenger trains
were canceled to enable the troop
movements toward Goa and also
toward the other two tiny Por-
tuguese enclaves of Damao and
Dui, north of Bombay.
Indian reports from the Goa
area spoke of alarm caused by
Portuguese military measures.
Some observers suggested, how-
ever, the Portuguese measures
were primarily defensive, in fear
that India might launch an effort
to seize the enclaves.
Curfew Imposed
Unconfirmed reports said a
night time curfew has been im-
posed in Goa.
Portugal has held the enclaves
since the 16th century. Goa has
a population of 650,000 and covers
1,537 square miles.
India, since gaining independ-
ence from Britain in 1947, has
demanded that Portugal give up
the enclaves, but Prime Minister
Jahawarl Nehru in the past has
resisted public demands that he
order the Indian army to seize
them.
Macmillan,
Kennedy Set
Conference
WASHINGTON () - President
John F. Kennedy will meet Brit-
ish Prime Minister Harold Mac-
millan in Bermuda Dec. 2,1-22 and
probably will visit Venezuela and
Colombia before that time.
The Macillan appointment was
announced by the White House
yesterday, a few hours after it
had been indicated that the Presi-
dent will make a brief South
American trip.
British officials said last night
nuclear tests and disarmament will
be the main. topics discussed by
Macmillan and Kennedy.
It was explained that the Presi-
dent and Prime Minister feel that
informal, face-to-face meetings
are valuable to both men and their
nations.
It was assumed that the tense
situation in beleaguered West Ber-
lin would also be high on the dis-
cussion list in Bermuda although
not the only subject for joint
examination.
Conference Appoints
'Guardians' for Laos
Name Britain, USSR to Insure
Asian Country's Peace, Neutrality
GENEVA e d- The 14-nation Laos peace conference took a
major step yesterday by naming Britain and the Soviet Union as
permanent guardians of the Southeast Asian kingdom's peace and
neutrality.
In its first formal session in five weeks, the conference con-
cluded an East-West agreement that also covered the functions and
powers of the three-nation international control commission, which
will supervise a neutrality treaty.
Despite the difficult problems that remain, United States dele-
gate William H. Sullivan said the agreement set a pattern for peace-
ful settlement of East-West differences throughout the world. The
new agreement becomes operative
only after the treaty is signed and
ratified. Among the major ob-
stacles remaining is the problem
of demobilizing Communist rebel
forces or bringing them under the1T 1.

UNITED NATIONS - Adlai E.
Stevenson urged the United Na-
tions yesterday to adopt a broad
program for international cooper-
ation in exploring outer space and
thus prevent the march of sci-
ence from becoming "a runaway
race into the unknown."
Soviet delegate Valerian A. Zorin
said he would study the proposal,
but indicated he would insist upon
applying the troika principle to
the 24 - nation 'committee. He
blamed the United States for UN
failure to achieve agreement on
cooperation in outer space.

WASHINGTON-The Supreme
Court agreed to hear appeals by
two men-Frank Grumann and
Bernard Silber-convicted of con-
tempt of Congress for refusing to
answer some questions by a House
subcommittee on un-American ac-
tivities during 1957 hearings on
Communist infiltration of the
communications industry. An is-
sue raised in the appeals is wheth-
er a congressional committee may
"probe into associations of the
remote past without any showing
of necessity."
The high court also agreed to
consider whether it is constitu-
tional for teachers 'to lead their
pupils in prayer in public schools.
Objections to such a practice
were raised by parents of nine
