Patrice Lumumba is Murdered,
African Villagers Get Reward
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga (A5) — Patrice Lumumba is dead, the Katanga
government announced today, and the African villagers who killed him have re-
ceived a reward of $8,000.
The interior ministry of this secessionist province declared the Congo’s de-
posed premier was “massacred yesterday morning” along with two aides said to
have fled with him three days earlier.

Up for Hearing
More State Money
For Colleges Studied
AUSTIN ® — The state gov-
ernment’s hard choice in money
matters was pinpointed today in
companion University of Houston
bills up for hearing before House
and Senate committees.
The problem in essense is
whether to continue expanding
state-supported colleges and if the
answer is yes, where is the money
coming from?
The situation comes to its first
climax before the new legislature
as the 57th session goes into its
sixth week with a heavy commit-
tee load of controversial bills
Before the Senate and House
powerful State Affairs Commit-
tees today are fevin bills making

Dimes Drive
Expected to
Raise $1800
Taylor’s annual March of Dimes
drive is expected to reach an es-
timated $1,800, according to Ken-
neth Mann, county chairman.
The Mothers March total stands
at $1,421 and' the Saturday “Buck-
et shaking” by Scout Troops 167,
169 and • 171 brought in an esti-
mated $100. The Scotch Doubles
bowling event added another $80
to the fund.
Mann said Mother March
money is still coming in. The
canisters are still out. They will
be picked up next week.
When the whole thing is wrap-
ped up the total should be around
$1,800, Mann said. He said he
was “well pleased”, with the
drive headed up by Mrs. E. K.
Hundley, general chairman, Mrs.
Harry Zeplin, rural chairman,
and Mrs. Lucille Allen,. South
Taylor chairman.
Mann said no other March of
Dimes fund-raising events will be
held.
state-supported college. SB2 by
Sen. Robert Baker of Houston and
HB11 by Rep. Criss Cole of Hous-
ton are the proposed laws putting
into effect a recommendation of
the Texas Commission on Higher
Education.
The addition of the Houston Uni-
versity to full state support would
cost the deficit-ridden general rev-
enue fund $4 million a year, the
commission said in adopting its
report last November. The uni-
versity has an enrollment of more
than 11,500. It now gets state
money for the first two years of
its program.
The commission’s recommenda-
tion was premised on a condition
that the legislature first “ade-
quately” finance the present 19
state supported colleges, some of
which are fighting the Houston
plan. This could break out into
the open at the committee hear-
ings: The first in the Senate at
3 p.m., the second in the House
at 7:30 p.m.
Series of important proposals
to change the election code comes
before the House Committee on
Privileges, Suffrage and Elec-
tions at 7:30 p.m. Included is a
controversial measure that would
require runoffs in special elec-
tions to fill vacancies in Congress.
Texas now has such a law in U.S.
senatorial. special elections. A
sharp division between backers of
Speaker James Turman and Rep.
Wade Spilman was indicated in
the committee’s first considera-
tion of the measure late in Jan-
uary. It was regarded as a re-
flection of the bitterness between
Turman and Spilman as a result
of the close race or speakership.
Gov. Price Daniel’s program
for erasing the deficit gets its
first test in committee hearings
later this week as the lawmakers
move closer, to work out the an-
swers to the financial problem.
The University of Houston ques-
tion is merely typical of the much
larger situation.
Babies' in High Schools
Won't be College Adults
DETROIT ® — If students are
treated like babies in high school
they can’t be expected to act
like adults in college.
Lloyd S. Michael, principal of
Evanston (111.) Township High
school, voiced that warning today
in urging broad new programs of
counseling for college students.
In a prepared speech to the Na-
Once 'Revolting'
Art Now Praised
LONDON ® — The ghost of
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec must
be quietly chuckling today at the
success he is enjoying in London.
British art lovers are lining up
by the thousand to visit an im-
pressive exhibition of 89 of the
little Frenchman’s paintings and
drawings at the Tate Gallery.
The last time Toulouse-Lautrec
had a London exhibition on such
a scale was in 1898—three years
before his death at the age of 36.
It drew a spate of abuse. The
critics and the hostile public de-
cried the cruelly accurate pictures
of Paris night life as “vulgar”
and “revolting.”
Toulouse-Lautrec, in London at
the time, took it all in his tiny
stride. The little man, whose legs
were stunted' by two falls in child-
hood, was amused.
Now he comes back as a giant.
His new exhibition—of the same
paintings—is drawing nothing but
praise from critics and admiration
from the public. On opening day
3,000 persons visited the exhibi-
tion. Another 2,000 saw it during
the four hours it was open Sun-
day.
The show will continue through
March 15. It was organized by
the Association Francaise d’Action
Artistiqua and the British Arts
Council.
tional Association of Secondary-
School Principals, convening here,
Michael said: “In too many high
schools, youths are typically
treated as immature, irresponsi-
ble persons requiring a maximum
amount of supervision and con-
trol.
“It is folly to assume that these
same youths, after a senior prom
and a magical summer, are ready
to shoulder all the responsibilities
of adults in a new environment
where they are essentially with-
out restriction and supervision.’
Michael said that about one out
of four students who enter col-
lege drop out by the end of their
freshman year, and that only two
out of five entering freshmen
stay to graduate from the same
institution four years later.
He said colleges and high
schools alike have a greater re-
sponsibility than they are now as-
suming to see that the right stu-
dent goes to the right college.
“Mistakes are too costly,” Mi-
chael said, “for the failure in one
college can mean the end of a
youth’s education.”
With 50 per cent of the nation’s
high school graduates now going
on to college, Michael said, prep-
aration for college is a primary
function of the secondary schools.
This means, he said, that aca-
demic programs must be given
more emphasis in high school,
and standards of achievement
must be raised.
Michael praised tire advanced
placement program of the College
Entrace Examination Board as
“perhaps the best plan for coop-
erative action in the curriculum
between school and college.”
Under this program, worked out
by teams of high school teachers
and college professors, bright
high school students take college
level courses in 11 subjects.
accused us of killing Lumumba,
I will reply: ‘Prove it’.”
The effect of the slayings was
to bring the long-brewing Congo
situation to a new crisis holding
the threat of civil war. It came
as Katanga was flexing its mili-
tary muscles w:Ui a urive which
brought a U. N. warning.
Ltimumba’s death was an-
nounced two hours before the U.N.
Security Council met in New York
to deal with the deteriorating Con-
go situation. There the United
States expressed shock at Lu-
mumba’s death, and promised co-
operation with Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjold in undertak-
ing a full investigation.
But the Soviet Union, long Lu-
mumba’s supporter, said the kill-
ing was just another indication of
how Hammarskjold has operated
in the Congo with the backing of
a U. N. peace force. The Soviet
Union said President Tshombe’s
Katanga government must be
made to pay.
“We do not want the Africans
of the tribe which killed Lumum-
ba to be identified because they
might be the subject of eventual
reprisals by Lumumbists,” said
Munongo.
“This village will be given the
total of 400,000 francs —- $8,000—

inet for the capture of the three

Story Banned
On Debunking
Marine Corps
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. ® —
The commander of this big Ma-
rine base has banned the sale on
the base of a magazine containing
an article which tries to debunk
Marine legends.
Maj. Gen. Robert B. Luckey
says the article entitled “Harry
Truman was right when he slam-
med the Marines” in the March
issue of Cavalier magazine is
detrimental to the morale and
traditions of the corps.
The author, retired Marine
Brig. Gen. William B. McKean,
tries to 'establish that the Ma-
rines did not play vital roles in
such legendary places as the
“shores of Tripoli” and the “halls
of Montezuma,” as the Marine
hymn has it.
Gen. Luckey said he had
learned to respect the traditions
and legends of the Corps, and
felt that men who had been
Marines only a short time would
accept McKean’s version without
question.
The Public Information Office
here said the general took the
action on his own initiative. As
far as it knew, no other base has
banned the magazine. Pentagon
sources have previously indicated
they contemplated no ban.
In the article, McKean cites
Truman’s reply on Aug. 29, 1950,
to Congressman Gordon McDon-
ald, (R., Calif.,) who had written
urging that the Marine Corps
have its own representative on
the Joint Chiefs of Staffs.
Truman answered:
“I read with a lot of interest
your letter in regard to the Ma-
rine Corps. For your information,
the Marine Corps is the Navy’s
police force and as long as I am
president that is what it will re-
main. They have a propaganda
machine that is almost equal, to
Stalin’s . . .”

Mother of 4
Likes Job as
Ditchdigger
PAINESVILLE, Ohio ® — J
lady ditchdigger?
Why not? asks Esta Belle
White, 35, mother of four. “It may
not be ladylike, but there are a
lot of things women do now that
were unheard of a few years
ago.”
Mrs. White of Madison holds a
septic tank installer’s license in
Lake and Geauga counties and is
a partner—a working partner—in
the White Excavating Co., found-
ed by her husband, Richard.
White said he started teaching
his wife to operate excavating
tools a year ago—at her request.
“What she knew about install-
ing septic tanks you could stick
in her ear,”* said White.
But Mrs. White went to work
on a practice area on their 70-
acre farm and within a few days
was digging ditches with the pre-
cision of an expert.
Now she can handle all the
jobs connected with installing a
septic tank system, from estimat-
ing costs to putting on the finish-
ing touches.
She has done so well, White has
taken another job as a he aw7
equipment worker on a section of
the Ohio North-South Freeway.
“With the business in her hands
I don’t have to worry,” said
White.
Mrs. White says when she goes
to work people “are a little con-
cerned when they learn a woman
is going to do the job, but I
haven’t received any complaints
yet.”

Soviet Venus Shot
Hailed by Scientists
MOSCOW ® — A 1,418-pcund tent either of hitting Venus or go-
Soviet “space station” hurtled to-
ward a mid-May rendezvous with
the planet Venus today after a
spectacular piggy-back launching
the United States does not expect
to achieve for another 18 to 24
months.
The space traveler carrying a
banner emblazoned with the So-
viet coat of arms should reach the
area of Venus when earth’s sister
planet will be about 26 million
miles away, the Soviets said.
The latest Soviet space shot-
second in eight days—was aimed
at investigating conditions on and
around the planet, Whose perpet-
ual mantle of clouds has made
it a mystery to scientists.
The aim is either to hit Venus
or to have the ship pass clo'sely
enough to send back detailed
studies, Victor Razykin, director
of the Moscow Planetarium, told
reporters today. He said it was
far from certain the ship will hit
the mysterious planet.
The space ship has a radio
transmitter believed capable of
sending messages across millions
of miles of space, but Razykin
said it has not been announced
whether the vehicle carries equip-
ment to relay photographs back
to Earth. He declined to specu-
late on this.
Scientists and officials on both
sides of the iron curtain hailed'
the Venus shot as the greatest
space feat since the Soviet TJnion
orbited her first Sputnik three
years ago. It adds to the Soviet
Union’s other claimed accomplish-
ments, which include hitting the
moon with a rocket, photograph-
ing the far side of the moon, and
orbiting the sun.
The White House issued a terse
statement that President Kennedy
had been advised of the rocket
disapproval of the segregationist
driven by Victor Campos of Tay- firing and that the United States I policies of the governors of Lou-
lor were involved in a wreck had been tracking it ever since. ‘ isiana and Arkansas by introduc-

There was no indication of the
rocket’s present speed. But the
first announcement said that at
noon Sunday Moscow time the
space station already was 126,300
kilometers (75,780 miles) from the
earth. The Russians said' the
travelers’ radio transmitter and
other equipment were functioning
normally and that the station was

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hundreds of young people ob-
served emancipator Abraham Lin-
coln’s birthday with demonstra-
tions against segregated motion
picture theaters and in support
of the “jail, no bail” stand' of
some imprisoned Negro students.
White persons and Negroes,
North and South, protested seg-
regated movies. In some instanc-
es pairs of white youths and Ne-
groes made unsuccessful attempts
to get into all-white sections of
Southern theaters.
At San Antonio, Tex., a bomb
was reported placed in the 3,600-
seat Magestic Theater shortly af-
ter an integration demonstration.
About 350 persons were inside
at the time. The building was
searched but no bomb was found.
The demonstration at San An-
tonio followed the same pattern
used in Austin, Houston, and Dal-
las, Tex.
At Austin pickets showed their
cars.

Antitrust Case
Electrical Executives
Begin 30-Day Terms
PHILADELPHIA ® — Four
high-salaried electrical firm ex-
ecutives surrendered today to
start 30-day jail terms for fixing
prices and rigging bids in Amer-
ica’s biggest federal anti crus 1
case.
Dressed in conservative busi-
ness suits, and accompanied only
by their attorneys, they arrived
from 5 to 20 minutes before they
had been ordered to surrender.
All appeared glum.
After fingerprinting them, U. S.
Marshal William O’Brien said he
would handcuff them—two to each
handcuff—and then drive them in
two automobiles to the Mont-
gomery County Prison in nearby
Norristown.
At Norristown, they will join
two Westinghouse executives who
asked to start their 30-day terms
last Friday—three days early.
Beginning their terms today are
William S. Ginn, 45, a General
Electric vice president from Sche-
nectady, N. Y.; George E. Burens
a GE vice president who lives in
Cleveland, Ohio, but is on special
assignment for manufacturing
services at Louisville, Ky.; Lewis
J. Burger, 48, of Fort Wayne, Ind.
GE division manager who former-
ly headed the switchgear division;
and Edwin R. Jung, 58, vice pres-
ident of Clark Controller Co.,
Cleveland.
A seventh man sentenced tc

Cook, 54, Fox Point, Wis., market-
ing vice president of Cutler-Ham-
mer, Inc., Milwaukee, Wis., was
granted a week delay in his start-
ing term because of his daugh-
ter’s engagement party this week.
said the Pentagon knew about the
firing before the Soviet Union an-
nounced it Sunday.
Dr. Hugh Dryd'en, deputy ad-
ministrator of the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration
said in Washington the United
States is at least IVz to 2 years
from achieving the kind of sev-
eral-stage launching of such a
large object reported by the So-
viets. But he said he was not
surprised by the announcement.
“We have known for some'
time,” Dryden said, “that they
had the booster rocket capability
for such a mission.”
U. S. space officials pointed
out, however, that the United
States already has successfully
fired a rocket into the area of
Venus with somewhat the same
purpose as that announced by the
Soviets.
They referred to Pioneer V,
the 94.8 pound rocket launched
last March 11 from Cape Can-
averal, Fla. Its main aim was
to go into orbit around the sun,
although the general purpose was
somewhat like the new Soviet
probe, NASA officials said.
Pioneer V lost radio contact
with the earth when it was 22.5
million miles away.
The Soviet announcement indi-
cated the Venus launching was an
extremely complex operation. It
said /a multistage rocket carried
a Sputnik into orbit, another
for the traditional text of the
“Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
“We’ll send Jimmie Davis to an
integrated hell,” they sang, and
“We’ll hang Orval Faubus to a
sour apple tree.”
In Austin and Houston the
crowds of Negro and white dem-
onstrators swelled to 200 or more.
About 50 each marched in Dallas
and San Antonio.
Commission
Sets Election
On April 4
GEORGETOWN — The ques-
tion of an ad valorem tax of
30 cents per $100 valuation to
fill the money needs of the coun-
ty' will be put before the citizens
of Williamson County in a special
election April 4.
The special election in which
citizens can vote for or against
the tax was called by the Wil-
liamson County Commissioners
Court at their regular monthly
meeting in the county courthouse
in Georgetown Monday morning.
The tax, which applies to all
taxable property with the excep-
tion , of the first $3,000 on a
homestead, would bring an esti-
mated $50,000 to $60,000 in new
revenue to the county fund.
Commissioners, voting unani-
mously in favor of the resolution
calling for the allocation of the
ad valorem tax, termed this route
as the most painless way of
bringing in new revenue.
Facing the definite need for ad-
ditional revenue to operate the
county, commissioners pointed
out that an equivalent increase
of 30 cents on valuations would
cost the taxpayer more in total
taxes since the increase in val-
uations would also result in high-
er state, school, and bond taxes.
Actually, the ad valorem isn’t
a new tax. It was a State ad
valorem tax prior to 1951, but an
amendment to the State Consti-
tution in 1948 allocated the tax
to the counties on an option basis:
It specified that beiore a county
could allocate the tax it had to
be submitted to the voters of the
county for approval.
The law also specifies that
money derived from this ad val-
orem tax shall be used for the
construction and maintenance of
county, farm to market and later-
al roads, and, or for flood con-
trol within the county. The res-
olution, which was passed on a
motion by Commissioner W. C.
Stern of Precinct 4 and seconded
by Commissoiner A. A. Daniel of
Precinct 2, specifies the money
to be used for county, farm to
market, and lateral roads.
This added revenue to the road
and bridge fund would result in
a different allocation of the coun-
ty general taxes ^hereby releas-
ing more money toward the gen-

Kennedy Returns
WASHINGTON—President Ken-
nedy returned to the White House
at 11:55 a.m. today after spend-
ing his first weekend at his farm
home in the swank Virginia hunt
country at Middleburg.
The presidential party drove the
45 miles back here through
a snow-covered countryside and
over sloppy roads. At spots the
fog was so thick the auto lights
were kept on.
Goldberg Lashed
WASHINGTON — The Repub-
lican National Committee today
accused Secretary of Labor Arth-
ur J. Goldberg of playing politics
with the unemployment problem.
An article in the committee’s
official publication, Battle Line,
described as a political junket the
five-state swing Goldberg com-
pleted Sunday. The committee
complained because, it said, Re-
publicans were excluded from
participation.
Cottle 'Decreased'
WASHINGTON--The Agri-
culture Department reduced today
its estimate on the size of the
current cattle expansion cycle
on the nation’s ranges and farms.
In an annual livestock inventory
report, the department estimated
the number of cattle at 97,139,000
head as of Jan. 1. A year ago
it estimated the number at over
100 million head. Today’s report
reduced the Jan. 1, 1960 to 96,-
238,000 head.
Legislation Draft
WASHINGTON — President
Kennedy today sent Congress a
draft of proposed legislation to
carry out his health insurance
program.
It calls for a $1.5-billion increase
in Social Security taxes to finance
a program for 14,200,000 Ameri-
cans 65 or older.
“I believe the need for such in-
surance is urgent,” Kennedy said

Kennedy Pushes
Electric Co-Ops'
DALLAS ® — President Ken-
nedy told the National Rural
Electric Cooperative Association
that the new administration is
“going to make new starts now
on reclamation projects.”
Kennedy made the statement in
a letter to the 8,000 delegates
attending the association conten-
tion.
The issue was a major one in
the Eisenhower administration,
which at one point indicated it
would ease up on new projects
for budgetary reasons.
“We are going to move ahead
with multi-purpose river develop-
ment. We shall seek a way to
link our power systems to our
great rivers,” Kennedy wrote.
“We shall seek ways to assure
an abundant supply of electric
power at lowest possible cost for
all rural people and to help peo-
ple use that power effectively to
raise productivity and their stand-
ard of living.”
Spokesmen for the association
said they believe Kennedy’s let-
ter indicates REA cooperatives
will be able to operate in a bet-
ter climate with the Rural Elec-
trification Administration than
during the past administration.
