Washington Offers UN New Planes London Condemns Forceful Activity By The Associated Press LONDON-The British govern- ment declared yesterday United Nations troops fighting in seces- sionist Katanga province have no "permit to try to impose a politi- cal solution by force." The British seemed to array themselves opposite the United States which last night approved a comprehensive plan by acting Secretary-General U Thant to bring secessionist Katanga under UN control. The United States stepped up support of UN operations in the Congo with an offer of 21 more huge transport planes. Anrgy Debate The British statement was made by Deputy Foreign Minister Ed- ward Heath in angry -debate in the House of Commons. Labor's foreign affairs expert, Harold Wilson, immediately asked Heath if he was aware the United States government had publicly stated its support for the UN operation in Katanga. Heath did not reply directly, declaring Britain believes "the United Nations should try contin- ually to achieve conciliation be- tween the two sides in the Congo." He referred to Katanga and the Central Congo government in Leopoldville. Opposes Action Britain also opposed UN military action against Katanga during fighting there last September and made strenuous efforts to get a cease-fire. The United States offer of 15 C125 Globemasters and six smaller C130 Hercules are in addition to six American C124's the UN is already using in efforts to pacify the Congo. "The United States is very pleased with the plan of the Secretary-General to bring Ka- tanga under control," Adlai Stev- enson, United States Ambassador to the UN, said after the con- ference. A Untied States spokesman said the -plan included both the use of force in the present Katanga fighting, and a broad plan for restoring peace in the Congo. NEW HIGH: USSR To Increase Defense Spending MOSCOW ()-The Soviet government yesterday unveiled a rec- ord budget for 1962 calling for large increases in military spending. It justified the hike in defense spending by asserting the West "is openly threatening war.". The over-all budget for 1962 totals 81.9 billion rubles ($90.9 bil- lion), with 13.4 billion rubles ($14.8 billion) going for defense expendi- tures. This is a hike of almost 50 per cent in military spending over that originally planned for 1961. But the defense increase is not so great considering that Premier Ni- kita S.

White of the poli- tical science department has con- cluded. In the 1960 Supplement to "Michigan Votes: Election Sta- tistics 1828-1956," Prof. White said that the Democrats "were forced to make the long-awaited change in top leadership, and had to face a challenge from one of the Republican's best vote-getters, Paul Bagwell. But the Democrats had the ad- vantage of what turned out to be a good Democratic year in elec- tions across the country, he noted. He also said that "the relative stability of party strength in re- cent Michigan elections indicates that party competition, long ab- sent from the politics of the state, is very firmly established." By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The United. States made a strong but unsuc- cessful effort to block the recent British sale of jet-powered air- craft to Communist China, a gov- ernment official testified yester- day. Assistant Secretary of Com- merce Jack N. Behrman told a special House committee whichmis investigating trade with the Com- munist wvorld "we tried very hard" to stop the deal. * * * LONDON-Britain plans to fire is first space satellite around the earth next spring aboard a Unit- ed States Delta rocket, the House of Lords was told last night.
