Tshombe Says Katanga
Will Remain Independent
From Rest of Congo
ELIZABETHVIfLLE, Katanga lff>
— President Moise Tshombe de- j
dared in the National Assemly ;
today that Katanga would remain
independent from the rest of the
Congo at all cost.
This represented a sharp re
versal from Tshombe’s promises
to the central government in Leo
poldville. When he was released
last week, he pledged cooperation
with Leopoldville’s leaders, who
want to bring Katanga back into
the nation for the tax revenues
of its rich mines.
Tshombe had been under ar
rest in Leopoldville for two
months. It was believed that his
release was contingent on an
agreement to cooperate with the
rest of the Congo and bring his
army under central control.
But there was widespread be
lief that he would retract this
promise upon his return to Eliz
abethville. This appeared to be
confirmed by his speech today.
“We shall defend an independ
ent Katanga at all cost and will
do everything to maintain our
nation in the face of all opposi
tion,” he said.
FALSE ALARM . . .
DEERFIELD, Mass. UP)—Every
body came running to a pasture
belonging to Gordon Ainsworth
of Deerfield Tuesday when a fire
alarm sounded.
There was no fire — just a
cow scratching its neck on a pole
topped with the alarm button.
Barefoot Boy Electrocuted
WINNIPEG, Man. UP) — A bare
foot boy, Douglas Murray Porter,
6, was electrocuted Tuesday by
a 115-volt wire laid across a
strawberry patch. The owner told
police he wanted to protect the
berries from birds. The boy ap
parently pulled out a stake at
tached to the wire. No charge
was filed.

Senate Report Criticizes
Navy and Builders of
Ill-Fated “Texas Tower”
WASHINGTON (J*) — A Senate
report today sternly criticized the
Navy and the designers and build
ers of the radar “Texas Tower”
that collapsed in a blizzard and
carried all hands — 28 men —
to their deaths.
The report — which added that I
the Air Force must also shoulder
its share of the blame — bitingly
referred to “buckpassing” and
“the hodgepodge of indecision.”
The teriffic forces of winds
and waves were clearly miscal
culated, the report said.
The 5,000-ton steel structure,
perched like a giant three-legged
stool in open sea 80 miles off the
New Jersey Coast, was battered
and driven to ocean bottom last
Jan. 15 by gale winds and waves.
Earlier thia month, the Air
Force ordered Col. William M.
Banks to stand court-martial,
charged with being derelict in
duty in connection with the
tragedy. Banks was in command
of the Boston air defense center
and the tower was part of its
radar network.
The Air Force said Banks had
failed to keep himself appraised
of the tower’s situation.
