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- couraging the continued seces- Attack Led On Civ BMilitary 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. proposed new government.

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. s* * 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.
