Comment Lumumba's killing bound to have severe repercussions of the UN CONGO TROOPS ALERTED
day
LYNCHED
TANY who blamed Mr
M Patrice Lumumba for
the orgy of bloodshed and rapo which followed the proclamation of indepen- dence in the Congo, will find it hard to express any regret today at the news of his death. Indeed if there
was one man who was least likely to ensure the smooth transition peaceful
and
from colony to independent republic, it was Lumumba.
The Belgians may be blamed for a lot including the foisting of self-government on a completely unprepared community but a man of greater wisdom and vision than Mr Lumumba might have averted the catais. trophe which shattered the Congo. A more dediented and mature mun with something more than a tribal men- tality might have held the country in unity until the Congolese could run their own country without Kel- gian help.
TTOWEVER true all this is, 11 the despicable feature of Lumumba's death is that it bore all the signs of a lynching. It was widely suspected that the announce- ment of
"escape" his on Friday foreshadowed to. day's disclosure. He was hated by the Katanga authorities who have made no secret of their delight that he hua' now been killed. They even propose reward-

Not only does his death solve nothing but it creates fresh troubles for the Congo and brings new tensions in Afrien, new frictions among the nations, new accusations of perfidy and complicity, now barriers in the way of unity.

And Mr Kasuvubu is going to have greater difficulty than ever in weaving the fabric of unity out of con- ficting tribal stranda.

Main alert areas are Orientale and Kivu Provinces,

A statement from Mr Rajeshwar Dayal, UN special repre- sentative, said he reaction was one of "shock and horror. The staying of politted personalities is bound to have repercussions, The question of responsibilty now arises."
A British Embassy official said the 20 Brilons still in Stanley- ville, capital of Orientale Province, had been told to remain in constant touch with the United Nations in case of the need for quici: evacuation.

Pro-Lumumbisia in Leopoldville said they feared counter- reprisals against themselves if action were taken against Congolese in the provinces controlled by Mr Lumumba's sup- Dorters,
One said: "There will be blood. It might even mean elvil
A member of the UN Conciliation Commission, Mr Alexander Quaison-Sackey of Chana, enld of Mr Lumumba's death: "It was expected. My reaction is that the whole story was a fake."
Another member, Mr George Sherman of Liberia, said: "It will certainly fout up the alr for conciliation for the time being. I wish i could have been avoided."
At Eusabethville United Nations headquarters called for full co-operation in its investigation into the circumstances surround- ing the death of Mr Lumumba.
A communique sald the announcement of the death of Mr Lumumba had been received with great concern and it was most necessary the United Nations should receive full co-operation in carrying out an lavestigation into the circumstances of the delen. tion, eccope and death of Mr Lumumba,
No interview arranged
The United Nations had persisted during the last few days in trying to organise such an enquiry but had not been able to arrange an interview with the Katanga authorlifes on the matter, the statement said,
"Nor have we received a written reply to our communications
to President Tshombe.
It added that General Tynssou Menghasha, the Ethiopian Chief of Staff of UN forces in the Congo, had come to Elisabethville speci- feally for the purpose of conferring with the Katanga authorities over incidents involving Mr Lumumba.
The statement odded that the announcement of Mr Lumumba's death had been immediately despatched to UN headquarters,
A United Nations spokesman sold today that Menghasha firmly intended to pursue his Investigations.

He said United Nations headquarters in Elisabethville would get in quch with the Leopoldville command to find out whether there were any indications of possible reprisals against Europeans in Orientalo and Kivu Provinces,
Grave reaction feared
In London sources close to the Brish Foreign Offles 10- day expressed fear ovtr the possible reaction to Mr Lumumba's dealii.
Observers said the Foreign Offer was worried about the reaction of the Soviet Union and certalu Afro-Asian nations with troups in the Congo. The Foreign Ofee also feared reprisals agunst Belgian nationals in pra-Lumumba provinces.
The Foreign Office self made no comment, awaiting melal confirmation of the Elizabethville announcement.
The Government also feared a full scale elvi war in the Congo which might lead to foreign intervention, sources sald. The Gov- ernment reportedly wants the United Nations Security Counci to take measures to prevent foreign intervention,
The British Government has clearly indicated support for Congo President Josephi Masayubu, and his efforts to creato a federal government in the Congo,

London, Feb. 13.
The Labour opposition, amid Conservative cries of "shame”, tonight took the unusual step of asking the House of Commons to censure its Deputy Speaker, Sir Gordon Touche, "for infringing the rights of minorities" in handling last week's rowdy debate on the National Health Service.

Washington, Feb, 13. Sanator Allan Ellender said today the "only possible reason" the United States could have had for an aid programmo In Hongkong was "the desire of admin- istrators to cover tho earth."
Mr Ellerber visited Hong- kung during a world tour, and submitted a voluminous report on his findings to the Senate today. He said there is no longer a U.S. ald programme in Hongkong, but added that

Formidable
At the same time, Mr Ellender predicted that Hongkong's econo- mic development "faces for midable and uncontrollable hazards", and said the normal problems are complicated by the proximity of China and the large number of refugees from the Peking regime.
A spokesman for the Ameri- can Consulate-General in Hong kong said this morning that as far as knew the U.S. ald to Hongkong had been in the forms of refugee relief work and dis- tribution of food through CARE.
"These forms of aid have i been in existence for sometime and will continue in future. There is no intention to stop such aid to Hongkong."
He declined to make further comment until I have read the senator's full report and found out about the facts."
