FINAL IDITIOH
Kivu Leaders Freed
In Surprise Move
By DENNIS NEELD
LEOPOLDVILLE, the .Congo
(AP)—•Eleven captured leaders of
Kivu have been released from a
Stanleyville jail .where they had
been held since leftists seized
their province last year, the Unit-
ed Nations said today.
While this indicated a , change
in attitude by the rebel regime,
the U;N. command was unable to:
confirm reports from the leftist
capital th$t Moscow-backed An-
toine Gizenga had been deposed
there, u, ■'
Those reports said either the
rebel military commander, Gen
Victor Lundula, or President Jean
Fester Manzikala of Oriental
Province had taken 'over. Both
are considered firm supporters of
the policies of the late ex-Premier
Patrice Lumumba.
But both were reported to have
Toledo Bend Officials
Holding Meeting Here
Multiple decisions on

Sabine River were being made;

Here To Check
Federal Sites
Two Dallas officials from the
regional office of the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare
will come to Orange Tuesday to
inspect surplus government-owned
property here.
Tnduded are Sam G. Wynn,
regional representative from the
division of surplus property utili-
zation. and hit associate, Ralph
Of. O'Neal.
Property included in their In
spection covers a 40-acre parcel in
four tracts of the Navy Park Hous-
ing Project, the old Orange Post
Office building which has condi-
tionally been turned over to the
City of Orange and the former Na
prelimi- throughout the day. Out of this
conference, held at the SRA offi-
ces on the outskirts of Orange,
should come several" key deci-
sions. •
They include plans on interim
and permanent financing, engi
neering requirements, start on
power contract, negotiations and
general project phasing.
John W. Simmons, executive
vice president and general man-
ager of the Texas SRA, stressed,
"In view that engineering plans
and specifications will take at
least 18 months, it 1? imperative
that work between the two authori-
ties" go ahead rapidly. Now that
financing is in sight, preliminaries
related to land acquisiton and
surveying should start as soon as
possible."
The two groups will also hear
status reports on financing activi-
ties of the two authorities and
formulating plans on the phasing
of the Toledo Bend Dam and
reservoir.
The $60 million project is being
financed through the raising of
$15' million each from the states
of Texas and Louisiana and is-

ins in Stanleyville, something Gi
zen->a never had.
A U.N. spokesman reported the
release of Jean Miroho, former
president of Kivu, and 10 mem-
bers of his provincial government.
Miroho had paid at least lip
service tp the cerrtral ■government
at Leopoldville and had resisted
pressure, from Stanleyville ih
neighboring Oriental Province to
join up with Gizenga. Gizenga sent
in a raiding party last December,
arrested Miroho and his officials,
and took control of Bukavu, the
provincial capital.
In Leopoldville, the U.N.'s Con-
go mission continued negotiating
with Congolese leaders on the
terms for the return of U.N.
troops to (he key pprts of Banana
and Matadi.
The U.N. spokesman told news-
meri he could not comment on
Congolese reports that agreement
has been reached by which the
United Nations ijjtd the Congolese
would exercise joint control of air
traffic here. This was one major
Congolese condition for permitting
U.N.' forces to return to the ports.
Maj. Gen. Sean McKeown, Irish
commander of U. N. forces, was
reported to haw agreed to a form
of joint control over U. N. air
traffic in the Congo. .
The Congolese informants gave
no details of the reported agree-
ment. Nor did they say whether
the Congolese were modifying oth-
er conditions they said must be
met before they would allow U.N.
troops to return to the port of
Matadi, from which a Sudanese
garrison was driven Sunday after
two days of fighting.
Other major Congolese demands
for opening up Matadi, where 33
U. N. ships are expected within
the next week or so, were: (1)

A rsging fire swept through an
Orange patrolman's home last
night and leveled a two-bedroom

work. His wife and two children
were awakened by neighbors.

answered the alarm at 11:55 p.m.
at the home of Patrolman Charles
E. Greene, ,2407 N. 4th St., in
Brownwood Addition.
Although the house already was
considered a total loss, the fire
was brought under control only to
flare up again around 5:30 a.m.
The fire of unknown origin ap-
peared to have started in the
bathroom, volunteer fireman
Grady Gallien, stated. The fire

Reuther, in a telegram to the

must be discussed, it should
discussed now.
The Africans argued that.this
would keep the Assembly moving
and give the major nations time
to work out some agreement on
the agenda. But agreement at this
stage appeared remote.
No nation has yet asked that
the Assembly take up the Congo,
but Ghana and a number of other
African nations are reported try-
ing to muster support for a de-
bate early next week. Yugoslavia,

Man, Apes, Guinea Pigs
Have One Thing in Common
By FRANK CAR&Y
Associated Press Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Man,
apes and guinea pigs have some-
thing in common—they all get
scurvy unless they get enough
vitamin C.
Dr. Dewitt Stetten Jr., associate
director of the National Institute
of Arthritis and Metabolic Dis
eeses, told a scientific meeting
Thursday that scurvy has been
traced to the lack of a certain
chemical enzyme in man and
few other mammals.
If they had this enzyme, he
said, their bodies could manufac-
ture ascorbic acid, also known as
vitamin C. Lacking-Jt, they have
to eat fresh fruits, tomatoes and
other vegetables to get the vita-
min.
On the other hand, dogs and
rats have the enzyme that gives
them their built-in vitamin C.
§te&en said the recent, pin
pointing of the basic cause of the
ancient scourge of sailors gives
hope that other nutritional de-
ficiencies may be proved to result
from imperfections in man's en
zyme architecture.
Stetten was one of a fcnoup of
scientists who outlined advances
made during ths last decade
against diseases Uke arthritis,

WASHINGTON (AP) - Demo-
crats in Congress talked today
of enacting President Kennedy's
$3.25 billion housing program by
May—but acknowledged it would
riot be easy.
Even before the President sent
up the actual legislation to be
considered, there were signs that
Congress might make changes in
his proposals, now heavily weight-
The, two Alabama Democrats
who head the housing subcommit-
tees of the Senate and House,
Sen. John J. Sparkman and Rep.
Albert Rains, got together on a
tentative schedule- that calls for
the Senate to move first. Demo-
crats count on easier going in
the Senate than in the House,
where Republicans picked up a
net of 22 seats in last year's elec-
tion.
Rains said the GOP gains "in-
evitably make it a nip and tuck
battle on the House floor."
Senate hearings are expected to
start late this month, making a
vote possible before the end of
April. The House then might act
by late May.
Some congressional sources said
they expect strong pressure from
the building industry for changes
in the bill that Would help .sell
houses perhaps up to the $25,000
class. These might Include lower
down payment requirements.
Under the Kennedy proposals,
the mortgage financing liberaliza-
tion would be slanted
at houses costing $13,500 or less.
The President also proposed a
O-ahead for construction of 100,.
public housing units. Repub-
Hcans usually oppose 'large pub-
lie housing programs.
The President's housing mes-
sage. sent to Congress Thursday,
drew- admiring comment from ad-
vocates of federal aid to housing.
