The Assembly, convening a day late with 35 of its 72 seats filled, heard in silence an opening speech by President Moise Tshombe who bitterly assailed the Leopoldville government, the Congo's provisional constitution and the United Nations. He did not, in so many words, however, recommend that the Assembly reject the pact he made with Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula "at Kitona on Dec. 21 to end Ka- tanga's secession. No Business The Assembly had been called into session Tuesday but failed to do any business when only 19 members showed up.

So far there has been no word of any deputies meeting there. Following Tshombe's address, the Assembly went into secret ses- sion, and a spokesman announc- ed later that foreign affairs and political commissions had been appointed to consider Tshombe's treaty with Adoula. Members Appointed. The spokesman said all 35 mem- bers attending were appointed to one or the other of the commis- sions, and that these would be sit- ting in secret for the next day or two. He suggested that in the mean- time the UN help bring to Elisa- bethville as many deputies as pos- sible from Leopoldville. He said some opposition deputies had been in Leopoldville for more than aa year.

U.S. Sending Aid Mission To Country Restore Diplomatic, Economic Relations WASHINGTON P) -- The Do- minican Republic was restored to good standing in the family of the Americas yesterday, The council of the Organization of American States lifted the eco- nomic and diplomatic sanctions imposed more than a year ago during the dictatorship of Rafael L. Trujillo. President John F Kennedy an- ticipated the action by moving to include the Dominican Republic in the Alliance for Progress pro- gram. The White House announced in Palm Beach that a United States mission will leave for Santo Do- mingo Sunday to confer with Dominican officials on the possi- bility of aid projects for that country. Kennedy announced some time ago the United States would re- sume diplomatic relations with the Dominican Republic as soon as the sanctions were lifted. The diplomatic-economic boy- cott was voted in 1960 after Tru- jillo was implicated in a plot to assassinlate President Romulo Bet- ancourt of Venezuela. The sanctions included a break in diplomatic relations and an embargo on arms shipments to the Dominican Republic. One year ago yesterday the ac- tion was extended to include a prohibition on shipments of pe- troleum and petroleum products and trucks and truck parts.

"Trujilloism without Trujillo," he called it.
