Public officials To End Congolese Stri WASHINGTON OP) - The Su- preme Court ruled yesterday that public officials accused of using their authority to violate the con- stitutional rights of citizens may be sued for damages in federal courts under an 1871 civil rights law. The court unanimously reinstat- ed a suit brought by a Chicago Negro, his wife and six children against 13 Chicago policemen. But the court, with Justice Fe- lix Frankfurter dissenting, held that the city of Chicago cannot be sued under the act for alleged- ly unlawful acts of its police of- !icers. The Negro family lost its suit in both the United States District Court and the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago. These courts ruled that the family had no remedy under the old civil rights law, known as the Ku Klux act.- In its ruling yesterday, the high court held that public officials who nisuse their badge of authority are subject to damage suits, but that Congress in passing the law dd not make municipalities liable for damages. In his complaint, James Mon- roe claimed 13 policemen investi- gating a murder case broke into hiis apartment on Oct. 29, 1958, and struck, kicked and shoved members of his family. -AP Wirephoto REPORTED SLAIN-Pierre Elengesa, Maj.

Kennedy proposed another increase in social security taxes yesterday to meet "pressing social needs" and give the economy a boost. In a letter to Congressional leaders, Kennedy recommended a series of changes to provide more liberal benefits in some cases and to extend coverage to additional workers. Secretary of Walfare Abraham Ribicoff estimated the expanded benefits would total $1 billion in the first 12 months.

Kennedy sent Congress yesterday his bill to perk up areas now depressed by sick industries and jobless men. Millions would be spent and loaned to bring new industries to the areas and new skills to the men. Congress already knew the' President wanted such a program. Yesterday it learned the specific details. In ,a bill forwarded to House Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex), Kennedy proposed: 1) A $300 million loan fund. The government would loan the money to communities to expand their industries or attract new ones. No more than $90 million could be loaned before July 1, 1962. 2) Seventy-five million dollars in grants to help communities supply the roads, water, utilities, and other public facilities need- ed by the new or expanded indus- tries. This total figure would be fixed in the bill, but Congress could appropriate more funds for grants from time to time. 4) Ten million dollars a year to unemployed workers so they can maintain themselves while study- ing and developing new skills re- quired by the new industries in their communities. 4) Four and one-half million dollars a year to depressed areas that need tho money to plan pro-x grams to improve their econo- mies. Reds Behind Nationalists Asia.Africa Block Offers UN Proposal New Deaths Stir Action By Members UNITER NATIONS WP) - The United States-under the shocking impact of new political assassina- tions in the Congo-threw its sup- port last night behind a Asian- African plan for peace in that strife-torn nation. United States chief delegate Adlai E. Stevenson urged the Security Council to approve an Asian-African resolution authoriz- ing use of force by the United Nations if needed as a last resort to stop civil war in the Congo. Stevenson's appeal came after Secretary-General Dag Hammar- skjold dramatically anounced the executions in southern Kasai pro- vince of six associates of the slain Congo former premier Patrice Lumumba. The United States delegate said the Asian-African proposal was the only practical measure before the council for effective action in the Congo. Makes Clear But Stevenson made clear also that while the proposal made no mention of Hammarskjold "it is obvious that any Security Council resolution calling for United Na- tions action must be carried out b the Secretary-General." The big question was whether the Soviet Union would veto the proposal. Such action could result in demands for an immediate session of the UN General As- sembly. Stevenson said also there was merit in a suggestion from Liberia that the council meet in the Con- go, but only after action was taken here for restoration of law and order. He said such a move would "put the United Nations in Africa with dramatic impact," and the; United States Air Force might supply the transportation. New Report Meanwhile a new UN report from the Congo quoted the South Kasai minister of justice as say- ing the six executed Lumumba followers had been tried before a tribunal made up of chiefs of the Baluba, Apende, Bakate, Bauba and Bashille tribes and sentenced to death for crimes against the Baluba people. A later communication reported South Kasai officials as saying that the seventh man, Gregoire Kamanga, hadbeenK entenced to five years in prison. Kamanga was former minister of health for Lumumba. Ceylon, the United Arab Repub- lic and Liberia sponsored the Con- go peace plan which had support of a large segment of Asian- African nations. Three Nations1 ADLAI E.
