EMERGENCY MEASURES:
Kennedy Suggests Plan
To Aid Grain Farmers,
WASHINGTON (A)-President
John F. Kennedy asked Congress
yesterday to junk the Eisenhower
administration's feed program and
adopt an emergency plan aimed at
raising producer incomes.
Secretary of Agriculture Orville
L. Freeman said the Kennedy pro-
posal for 1961 would be expected
to bring a 10-to-15 per cent boost
in the gross incomes of typical
producers without any measur-
able effect on consumer food
prices.
Objectives of the Kennedy pro-
gram, in addition to raising farm-
er incoMne, would be to reduce

LONDON (P)-Two rival confer-
ences of African states were pro-
jected yesterday to deal with the
Congo crisis.
UNITED NATIONS (R) - Dele-
gates from key Asian -'African
countries negotiated with both the
United States and the Soviet
Union yesterday in an effort to
produce a Congo peace plan that
will win approval in the, United
Nations Security Council. '
The private huddles occurred
as nations favoring Patrice Lu-
mumba pressed their attack in the
council on Secretary-General Dag'
Hammarskjold, and others came
to his defense.
With, the public barred from the
Council's galleries and Increased
security precautions, there was
no repetition of yesterday's wild
demonstrations by supporters of
the slain Lumumba. Only a hand-
ful of Negro pickets marched
quietly across the-street from the
United Nations headquarters
building.'
Closed Doors
Hammarskjold met behind clos-
ed doors with members of his
Congo advisory committee to con-
sider recommendations from the
Asian-African conciliation com-
cission now in the strife-torn Af-
rican nation. ,
The commission has proposed
the release of all political prison-
ers, reconvening of Parliament,
widening of, the newly-constituted
Congo government under Premier
Joseph Ileo, and the replacement
of the centralized system by some
kind of federation.
Some of the commission's re-
commendations were being put in-
to a resolution being drafted by
Liberia, Ceylon and the United
Arab Republic with help from In-
dia, Guinea and Morocco.
Delegates Confer
Delegates from. Guinea, India
and Morocco conferred with .So-
viet deputy foreign minister Val-,
erian A. Zorin n an effort to
avoid a' Soviet veto on a possible
Congo peace plan.,
In general, the resolution would
urge the United Nations to take
all measures, including use of
force, to prevent occurrence of
civil war in the Congo. It would
demand also withdrawal of all
Belgian and other foreign military
personnel not under United Na-
tions command, and call for an
impartial investigation into Lu-
mumba's death.
The resolution would also urge
immediate reconvening of the
Congo parliament and reorganiza-
tion of the Congo army.
There was no chance of appro-
val of a Soviet resolution calling
for the firing of Hammarskjold,
the scrapping of the entire United
Nations Congo operation within.
a month's time, and sanctions
against Belgium if its nationals
do not quit the Congo.
Senegal's Premier Mamadou Dia
urged independent and uncommit-
ted African states to get together
to shape a joint policy in the wake
of the world-wide repercussions
from the slaying of the Congo's
ex-Premier Patrice Lumumba and
the Soviet Union's proposals for
the closing of United Nations
operations in the Congo.
Official Says
Reds Threaten
War in Congo
By The Associated Press
President Moise Tshombe de-
clared yesterday in Elisabethville
that the Communist bloc threat-
ens to create a Korean-type civil
war in the Congo.
He expressed belief the West
would avoid such a trap.
The chief of independence-
minded Katanga province also
charged that a prime aim of the
Communists in exploiting Patrice
Lumumbe's death is to get rid of
United Nations Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjold.
In Leopoldville, the new pre-
mier of the Congo, Joseph Ileo,
warned his countrymen yesterday
against "violence and savage bru-
tality" in the wake of Lumumba's
death.
He spoke out after partisans of
the ex-premier knifed three Bel-
gian priests in Leopoldville, and
pro-Lumumba soldiers in Kivu
province seized and beat 12 Eu-
ropeans, including a woman and a
5-year-old child.
Followers of Lumumba went into
formal mourning in the city of
Luluabourg. The men solemnly
doffed their ties and the women
their 'blouses. Requiem masses
were sung around the land.

Dia said countries which at-
tended neither the Brazzaville nor
the Casablanca conference on the
Congo should take the lead. - The
Casablanca Conference included
left-leaning states which are now
supporting the Lumumbist Antoine
Gizenga regime in Stanleyville.
The Brazzaville Conference in-
cluded most of the former French
colonies that recognize President
Joseph Kasavubu's government in
Leopoldville.
Dia's suggestion went to Niger-
ia, Liberia and Togo, among oth-
ers.
Five of the nations at the Casa-
blanca conference, meanwhile
summoned their foreign ministers
to Ghana for a meeting that may'
produce tnited backing for Gizen-
ga's leftist regime.
Four of the five-the United
Arab Republic, Ghana, Guinea,
and Morocco--already in effect
have recognized Gizenga as the
head of the legal government of
the Congo. Leftist-leaning Mali
may soon do so.
So far 16 Communist leftist and
neutralist nations have extended
recognition to Gizenga.

a "lost satellite"-one with polka
dots on it-even as they claimed
partial success for a major space
mission.
With the electronic ears and

the skies for a 12-foot balloon-
type space vehicle that was hurled
aloft by a huge Scout rocket from
Wallops Island, Va. yesterday

cordion in the nose of the four-
stage rocket, was successfully
ejected and inflated in space and

Under the Kennedy administra-:
tion's program, corn supports
rise from $1.06 a bushel for the
1960 crop to $1.20 for 1961 produc-
tion.
Supports for other grains--oats,
barley and sorghum grains, for
example - would increase cor-
respondingly.
. To become eligible for these sup-
ports, producers would be obliged
to retire 20 per cent of their feed
grain land and convert it to con-
servation uses.
In a letter to Congress, Ken-
nedy said the Eisenhower admin-
istration's feed grain program re-
sulted in "accumulation of a bur-
densome and dangerous surplus,
mainly of commodities for which
there is no adequate outlet ...
"At the same time," the Presi-

farm income, and it is theatening
to drive down the prices farmers
receive for hogs, cattle, poultry
and eggs, and milk to disastrous
levels."
