Man Gets Jailed
To Escape From
His Nagging Wife
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—When
police arrested Albert Torres,
20, Sunday on charges of pos-
sessing burglary tools, he said
he tipped officers off on himself
because he wanted to spend the
night in jail to escape what he
called a "nagging wife."
Torres got his wish.
Police quoted him as saying he
told his wife that if she didn't cut
out the nagging he'd get himself
arrested. She didn't believe him,
he said, , ,
General Dag Hammarskjokl and
Congolese President Joseph Kasa-
vubu are conspiring to dismember
the chaotic central African terri-
tory. /
Gromyko's newest target was
the decision by Kasavubu and all
other Congo political leaders ex-
cept Soviet-backed Antoine Gizen-
ga to junk the unworkable federal
government plan left by Belgium
and replace it with a confedera-
tion of semi-independent states.
Some observers expected Gro-
myko would pick up Ghana Presi-
dent Kwame Nkrumah's argu-
ment that Kasavubu, in accepting
the presidency of the proposed
confederation, had quit the presi-
dency of the republic «nd , had
l<jst his right to U.N. recognition
as the Congo's chief of state.
IHammarskjold was reported to
have asked Rajeshwar Dayal of
India to continue as head of the
U.N. operation in the Congo de-
spite the Kasavubu government's
repeated demands fbr his recall.
Kasavubu accused Dayal of bias
toward the late Patrice Lumumba
and toward Gizenga after Lu-
mumba's death.
May Request $1 Billion Deficit
JFK Reported Ready With Balanced Budget
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presl

to submit a balanced budget to
Congress soon—and then supple-
ment it with a request for at Jeast

Congressional leaders have" been
informed that the President hopes
by making separate recommenda-
tions for defense spending in-

Congolese Wild, But Strong
Canadian Troops Are Caught
In Crossfire of Congo Dispute
T.F.OPC)LDVILLE, the Congo
(AP) — The Congolese national
arniy invites unholy adjectives. It
has been described as untrained,
undisciplined,, uneducated and* un-
reliable; Yet it remains one of the
most potent forces the United Na-
tions must reckon with.
Efforts to subdue this army and
remove it as a political force have
demanded by member countries
of the United Nations as a prelude
to any Congolese settlement. Yet
the efforts are themselves being
blamed for mounting violence in
previously peaceful sections of the
Congo and increasing tension else-
where.
The Canadian troops, part of the
United Nations forces in the Con-
go, seem to. have been caught in
the crossfire.

Congolese troops beat Canadian
soldiers last August in a series
of airport incidents. Last Novem-
ber members of. the Congo army
shelled .the Canadian officers'
mess here.
After nearly three months of
quiet, Congolese army troops
broke out in new anti-United Na-
tions feeling. Two Canadian -air-
men were slapped around and
four Canadian soldiers bmtally
beaten, The Canadian headquar-
ters in Matadi was reduced almost
to rubble around the shoulders of
the beleaguered detachment there.
The ropt of the trouble, Observ-
ers say, is Congolese army fear
that if will be disarmed by the
United Nations.
This fear is aggravated by Con-
golese politicians. President Jo-
seph Kasavubu has called up a
reserve force to strengthen the
7,000-member army under Maj.
Gen. Joseph Mobutu. The presi-
dent and his Cabinet have repeat-
edly said that any disarming of
the army would be an infringe-
ment of the Congo's sovereignty
and a "veritable declaration of
war." •
The army was formed original-
ly under tight Belgian control.
Stirred by independence. -many
troops rebelled against white of-
ficers. Murderous havoc followed
•throughout the Congo.
Sine? then the original force of
about 25,000 then has become
fragmented and., in Dag Ham-
marskjold's words, "is in fact
providing various political groups
with small private armies.'
Even these armies are split by.
politics and ancient tribal hostili-
ty, ready at times to defect to the
highest bidder,
to do so at this point lies in the
need for a stepped-up defense ef-
fort to which he pointed in the
presidential campaign..
Kennedy -apparently plans few
over-all changes in the $80.9-bil-
lion budget that former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower sent to
Congress in January for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. Savings
Kennedy's experts have been able
to calculate in some areas may
£e offset by increases in others.-
, Eisenhower estimated a $1.5-
billion surplus. But this was based
on an $82.3-billion income that
Kennedy's advisers don't believe
will he reached. Eisenhower also
banked on postal rate increases
and hikes in some taxes that Con-
gress "may not grant.
Eisenhower estimated defense
outlays at $42.9 billion—up $1.4
billion from the current fiscal
year. If Kennedy can' offer a
balanced budget which retains
that figure, he is said to feel the
country will go along with a sup-
plemental request for a biilion
more in military funds.
Some of thid outlay would be
channeled into missile develop-
ment, with stress on the reliability
and protection of long-range mis-
siles. i'. , '
This wduld mean more funds
for the solid propellant Minute-
man, which can be mounted on
special railroad trains, and the
Navy's Polaris ballistic missile,
also mobile.
Missile experts also called for
more protection of the land-based
weapons, through "'hardening of
underground and surface facili-
ties.
Congress members have been
told the new defense stepup would
add 55.000 men to the Army to
bring its manpower to 925,000 and
boost the Marine Corps fr6m 175,-
000 to 200.000. These increases,
wi.th some modernization of weap-
ons, would be designed to boOst
U.S. limited-War capacities.
Eisenhower figured foreign aid
spending at $3.6 billion in the
year, including $1.8: billion in
military assistance and $1.8 bil-
lion for economic outlays...
Kennedy is reported considering
asking Congress to authorize a
five-year, $8-billion foreign eco-

Secretary-General "fears to offend
Dayal's countryman .and boss,
Prime Minister Nehru of India."
Miss H'ggins reported that "the
high-handedness, arrogance, even
contempt with which Dayal treat-
ed the Kasavubu regime would
give ground for fury on the part
of any government." She added
that Dayal's temporary replace-
ment, Mekki Abbas of the Sudan,
"has done much to ease the ex-
plosive situation created by Day-
al's aloofness from the Congo's
leaders." Dayal is now at U.N,
headquarters reporting on the
Congo operation. * .
HammarskjOld was said to have
Ceylon's promise of 800 to 1,000
troops for the U.N. force in the
Congo which, with the combat
battalion now being sent by In
dia, would build the depleted force
to a strength of more than 20,000
men. The secretary-genera! hopes
to increase the force .to a total of
25,000 troops. i
• Hammarskjold also scheduled a
meeting today with his advisory
Congo committee to choose a com-
mission of jurists to investigate
the death of Lumumba, slain in
Katanga Province after Kasavubu
sent him there as a prisoner last
Januaty.
Reports from the Congo -said
the' U.N. force and Gizenga's
Stanleyville regime had launched
a joint operation by 1SQ, Malayan
troops ftnd 50 Congolese soldiers
to try to mop up rodming bands
of pagan fanatics known as "leop-
ard men" terrorizing whites and
the Congolese population in sec-
tions of Kivu Province.
The joint force arrived at Ka-
songo today after a 200-mile
march from Kindu and. sent a
terse message to U. N. headquar-
ters; "All is well." Apparently
