a blunt warning: “Don’t touch

Soviet Delegate Arkady A. So-

threatening the United States with
its rockets, but he added: “Don’t
threaten Cuba with your might,
because other countries have
might.”
Sobolev also declared in a U.N.

Soviet Union will defeat alleged

He said the Socialist countries

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo
(AP)—Belgian soldiers began pull-
ing ■ out of Leopoldville today,
leaving U. N. forces to keep the
peace within the calming capital.
U. N. Undersecretary Ralph J.
Bunche told newsmen the with-
drawal is scheduled to be com-
pleted by 7 p. m. Saturday.
Premier Patrice Lumumba had
threatened to ask for Soviet aid
if the Belgians were not out of
Iha Congo by midnight tonight,
but the commander of U. N. mil-
itary forces said that “does not
worry us at all.” The U. N. Secu-
rity Council in New York’ is tak-
ing another look at the Congo sit-
uation Wednesday.-
CONGO BASES
The Belgian soldiers, called in
to protect white residents from
bands of mutinous Congolese sold-
iers. are pulling back to their Con-
go bases. It is not expected that
they wiill return to Belgium. Con-
go bases were guaranteed to
them by treaty with the Congo
government.
Lumumba insists, however, the
treaty became a dead letter when
Belgian soldiers were flown into
the Congo after the outbreak of
th Congo army mutiny earlier
this month.
Leopoldville is one of 30 urban
centers taken over by Belgian
forces after the Congo won inde-
pendence June 30.
Even the Leopoldville Airport,
an escape hatch for many of the
25,000 whites who have fled the
Congo, will be taken over by the
U. N. from its Belgian guards.
A communique on these ar-
rangements was issued by Bunche
after he had a long meeting with
Maj. Gen. Carl von Horn, com-
mander of U. N. forces in the
Congo, and the Belgian ambasa-
dor and Belgian army chief of
staff.
BUNCHE’S PROMISE
Bunche's announcement, broad-
cast to the Congolese people,
promised the U. N. forces will
protect all the people, "European
as well as African.”
The withdrawal of Belgian sol-
diers from Congolese territory
was tailed for in the U. N. reso-
lution providing for military in-
tervention.
The Soviet Union, charging that
the Congo is the target of im-
top concern at the moment is the
Kremlin propaganda offensive, un-
derscores the administration's ap-
parent decision that the time has
come to get tough with the Soviet
Union, to slam back at anti-Amer-
ican charges
An Eisenhower spokesman said
the conference today will deal
with:
1. Shaping the U.S. reply be-
fore the United Nations Security
Council to Soviet charges that the
American Air Force is engaged in
aggresive activities threatening
peace That accusation is pegged
specifically to the July 1 episode
of U.S. RB47 plane.
The reconnaissance aircraft was
shot down in the Arctic by the
Russians, who claim the plane
violated Soviet frontiers. Wash-
ington denies it, saying the plane
was over international waters and
not within 30 miles of Soviet
waters, territory, cr miv HM08-
The U.N. council may ajarkde-
bate on the matter Wednesday.
Eisenhower has welcomed the op-
portunity to focus world attention
on what he has termed “the law-
less actions and reckless threats
of the Soviet government."
2. The strife in the newly inde-
pendent Congo. The Soviet Union
has accused the United States of
trying to undermine Congolese
freedom. The White House reply:
"How ridiculous can, they get?"
The problem of restoring order
in the Congo, also being dealt with
by the U.N. Security Council, has
been aggravated by a Congolese
ultimatum to Belgium to get its
troops out of the new country, a
former Belgian colony.
If the Belgians don't get out,
Congolese officials have warned,
Soviet forces will be invited in.

NEWPORT, RL (AP)—Presi-
dent Eisenhower confers with
key advisers today to deal with
the Soviet Union's increasingly
bitter propaganda attacks on the
United States.
The President called to the
summer White House for an af-
ternoon meeting a strategy map-
ping team headed by Secretary of
State Christian A. Herter and
Charles E. Bohlen, former am-
bassador to Moscow and now a
fused to grant the Premier spe-
cial powers to govern without par-

Despite its inability to control
its mutinous army and stop at-
tacks on white settlers, The Congo
government issued another appeal
today to businessmen to reopen
factories and stores so that work-
ers can return to their jobs. At
least 70,000 Congolese—a fifth of
the native population—were re-

Following Mm arrival of the
first two groups, about 23 stu-
dents will be added each week.
“We will open up a dormitory a
week,” Killian said
"The first 250 students will be
brought here from Austin and
then we will start drawing from
the waiting list,” he said, adding
there are shout 250 applicants.
All the initial students win be
ambulatory.
Nine dormitory unit* are now
ready for occupancy. Each unit
consists of two dormitories serv-
ed by a common kitchen and din-
ing area.
Each dormitory will house about
3n students or M to the unit One
will be for the "severely retard-
ed"—students with a mental age
below 2 years. This unit is dis-
tinguished from the others be-
cause the adjoining yard is fenced.
FIRST PHASE
The facilities now completed are
merely the first phase of construc-
tion of the Denton State School.
The second phase w# consist
of a school building, scheduled for
completion in August, a hospital,
administration building and a
building for bedfast student
which are expected to be com-
pleted about Jan. 1.
The third phase will consist of
four buildings for the bedfast, a
maintenance shop, laundry and
warehouse
“We are now laying out the
site for the third phase and con-
struction should be completed
within a year,” Killian said
With the completion of the third
phase, Denton State School will
have 1.050 students and a staff
of 183 employes.
HIRING EMPLOYES
Killian is now in the process of
hiring "house parents" and other
staff members including social
workers, psychologists and cooks.
The school will have a staff psy-
chiatrist and physician. Most are
being employed through the Tex-
as Employment Commission
Killian said “we are coming
along pretty good” in hiring em-
ployes for the school.
“We don’t believe we will have
any trouble finding people from
this area tor the jobs," he com-
mented.
The Denton State School, locat-
ed three miles southeast of Den-
ton on the Dallas Expressway, is
being constructed at a cost at
about 4% million dollars. Denton
citizens donated 8100,000 to securn
the 200-acre site for the school.

Rose Barnett has taken the lead
in urging a Southern bolt from
the Democratic party
Barnett said Monday night,
upon returning from the Demo-
cratic National Convention, he
favored reconvening Mississippi’s
Democratic convention to support
a third party movement.
The Mississippi governor, who
bitterly opposed the Democrats’
civil rights plank, said the Demo-
cratic platform was “so horrible,
so repulsive, so obnoxious, and
so contrary to our form of gov-
ernment, I don’t see how the
people of the South can accept
it.”
Although Barnett indicated he
didn’t think there was “any
chance of Mississippi going along
with sthe Republican nominees,”
some Mssissippi Democrats will
be following the Republican Na-
tional Convention closely in hopes
of finding a platform and candi-
date they can support.
Some Mississippi Democrats
appear willing to join with Repub-
lican conservatives. State Sen.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Unit-
ed Slates accusing the Soviet Un-
ion of illegal and reckless action,
has formally demanded release of
the two American airmen who
fell into Soviet hands after their
RB47 plane went down July 1.
The U. S. demand came Mon-
day in a severely worded protest
note handed to the Soviet Foreign
Ministry in Moscow.
The Reds claim they shot down
the plane after it violated Soviet
territory. U. S. officials say the
craft was over international wa-
ters.
State Department press officer
Lincoln While, in making the U.S.
note public, said the United Na-
tions charter provides for a joint
investigation into the facts in
such cases.
The note pointed out that the
United States had offered to join
with the Soviet Union in an in-
vestigation but that Moscow has
ignored the offer. Instead, the So-
viet Union is taking the case to
the U. N. Security Council.
The United States we Icomes the
chance at the Security Council
meeting, the note said, "to make
clear to world opinion the illegal-
ity and recklessness of Soviet be-
havior with regard to the down-
ing of the RB47 aircraft with the
known loss of life of at least one
member of its crew and the ar-
bitrary detention of two U. S. Air
Force officers."
The note accompanieda Soviet
promise to return the body of the
pilot, Capt. William A. Palm. and
demanded that a U. S. Embassy
representative in Moscow be al-
lowed to see without delay the
two survivors. Lts. John R. Me-

HAVANA t.AP’ — Prime, Min-

United States today of trying to
take its dispute with Cuba out of

nerable" member nations of the

American people for the Cuban

RED .OPPOSITION
Sobolev strongly opposed a
move to transfer the complaint of
the Castro government against the
United States to the Organization
of American Stales. He said that
organization was completely dom-
inated by the United States and
would handle the case as the
United States wanted it to.
"The United States,” he said,
"is trying to organize an economic
blockade to strangulate Cuba and
prevent the government from ex-
ercising its sovereign rights over
its natural resources.”
Sobolev attacked U.S. policy
generally, but charged specifically
that the United States had a long
record of interfering in the in-
ternal affairs of Latin American
countries.
PREPARED TO VOTE
Sobolev spoke as the 11-nation
Security Council prepared to vote
on an Argentine-Ecuadorean reso-
lution to shift the Cuban-United
States controversy to the Organi-
zation of American States. Nine
members of the council spoke in
favor of the resolution Monday.
Castro in a television appear-
ance in Havana Monday night as-
sailed the move to refer the dis-
pute, to the OAS, saying the Unit-
ed States had less influence in
the United Nations than int he
OAS. But Cuban, Foreign Minister
Raul Roa. representing the Castro
regime in the Security Council de-
bate, privately accepted the reso-
lution.
Because of Roa's acceptance,
some delegates believed the So-
viet Union would either vote for
the resolution or abstain on the
vote. But in case of a Soviet veto,
Argentina and Ecuador were re-
ported to substitute a procedural
proposal that would have the
same effect but would not be sub-
ject to the veto.
ORIGINAL RESOLUTION
The original resolution noted
that the Cuban-U.S. dispute is un-
der consideration in the 21-nation
OAS and called on the council.
1. "To adjourn the considera-
tion of this question pending the
receipt of a report" from the
OAS."
2. To invite the OAS members
“to lend their assistance toward
the achievement of a peaceful so-
lution "
3. To urge "all other states to
refrain from any action which
might increase the existing ten-
sions between Cuba and the Unit-
ed States.” This was considered
directed at the Soviet Union, Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev having
the United Nations than in the
United Stales if U.S. forces inter-
vene in Cuba.
The OAS Council in Washingion
voted unanimously to call a meet-
ing of American foreign ministers
