RED CONGOLESE REBELS 
HOLD WHITE HOSTAGES 
FIGHT FOR CONCORDE 
London('UP ! )--0R I T I sh newspapers re¬ 
ported today that both the Conservative 
Party and the British aviation indus¬ 
try WOULD FIGHT TO PREVENT THE LABOR 
GOVERNMENT FROM CANCELLING THE ANGLO- 
FRENCH DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUPERSONIC 
a i rl s ner, Concorde. 
The Conservative Daily Express said 
that the Tories would hold their fire 
until the Cabinet announced the results 
of its "urgent re-examination" of the 
PROJECT. 
The Sun reported that the Society 
of British Aerospace Companies was 
rallying the entire industry for what 
was regarded as a fight for survival. 
There was continued rumbling from 
across the channel, where the French 
air industry was also threatened by 
the feared British pullout. 
LE0P0LDVILLE(UPi)--iHE LIVES OF WHITE 
HOSTAGES IN REBEL-HELD TERRITORY MAY BE 
FORFEITED UNLESS BELGIANS REFRAIN FROM 
TAKING PART IN MILITARY OPERATIONS 
AGAINST THE COMMUNIST-BACKED INSURGENTS 
in the Congo, it was reported today. 
The WARNING CAME IN A MESSAGE SENT 
by Baron Patrick Nothomb, Belgian Con¬ 
sul in rebel-held Stanleyville, over 
THE AIR CONTROL TOWER RADIO TO THE BUR¬ 
UNDI Capital of Bujumbura last Thursday 
The message was relayed here today. 
Diplomatic sources said the message 
APPARENTLY WAS DICTATED BY NOTHOMB, 
POSSIBLY UNDER DURESS. 
There are about ! ,000 whites in the 
REBEL-HELD AREAS IN THE EASTERN CONGO. 
Nothomb confirmed that "all Belgians j 
and Americans, including the Consulate j 
STAFF, ARE UNDER HOUSE ARREST*' IN STAN 
LEYVILLE, THE CAPITAL OF THE REBEL "CON¬ 
GOLESE People's Republic." 
The Belgian Consul's message was trans 
MITTED THE SAME DAY THAT REBEL "PRESI¬ 
DENT" CHRISTOPHE GBENYE THREATENED TO 
APPLY A SCORCHED EARTH POLICY IF AFRI¬ 
CAN NATIONS DID NOT INTERVENE IN THE 
Congo's rebellion. 
Rebel authorities have stated repeat-: 
EDLY THEY NO LONGER CAN GUARANTEE THE 
SAFETY OF WHITES IF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS: 
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE MILITARY ASSISTANCE' 
TO THE GOVERNMENT OF PREMIER MOiSE 
T SHOMBE. 
There is growing concern here for the 
FATE OF MORE THAN !,000 WHITES TRAPPED 
IN REBEL-HELD AREAS, PARTICULARLY IF 
THE INSURGENTS ARE HARD PRESSED BY AD¬ 
VANCING GOVERNMENT TROOPS AND DECIDE 
TO TAKE REVENGE ON THE FOREIGNERS.

FIRST EAST GERMANS 
VISIT WEST TODAY 
Frankfurt (UP I)--The first East Ger¬ 
mans ALLOWED TO LEAVE SINCE THE COM¬ 
MUNIST WALL WENT UP THREE YEARS AGO 
STREAMED INTO THE WEST TODAY. 
Laughing and weeping, the elderly 
East Germans trooped from interzonal 
trains in West Berlin, Frankfurt, Han¬ 
nover, Munich, Duisburg and other West 
German cities to embrace dear ones cry¬ 
ing just as joyfully. 
The first 500 0F estimated 1.6 
MILLION men OVER 65 and women OVER 60 
reached West Berlin about 8. 
Another 25O left a special Dresden- 
Leipzig train scheduled to arrive in 
Frankfurt daily at 8.35 until Jan. 15, 
to ease the expected burden of the reg¬ 
ular interzonal runs. 
Hundreds of W st Germans, many carry¬ 
ing small children their grandparents 
under communist rule had never seen, 
thronged the Frankfurt railway station. 
"Oma! Oma! hier, hier;" (Granny, Gran¬ 
ny, here, here.) A flower-waving boy 
about four years old cried, slipping 
UNDER a PLATFORM GATE AND RUSHING INTO 
THE RANKS OF ELDERLY ARRIVALS. 
Normally stern station officials did 
NOT CHIDE HIM WHEN HE RETURNED SECONDS 
LATER TUGGING A WHITE-HAIRED WOMAN BY 
HER WELL-WORN, PERSI AN-COLLARED CLOTH 
COAT .

Catholic Travelers Aid Society repre¬

WHO WOULD NOT BE MISSED IF THEY DECID¬ 
ED TO STAY IN THE WEST TO MAKE THE 
JOURNEY. ____

Monda y 2 October ! 964 
NIXON SAYS U.S. WAS WARNED 
OF PROBABLE VIET CONG RAID 
Milwaukee (UPI)--Richard M. Nixon 
CLAIMED LAST NIGHT THE PENTAGON HAD 
BEEN WARNED THAT U.S. AIR BASES IN 
South Viet Nam were vulnerable to at¬ 
tack ONLY TWO DAYS BEFORE A COMMUNIST 
RAID PUT HALF THE UoS. JET BOMBER FLEET 
OUT OF COMMISSION. 
The Former Vice President said yes¬ 
terday's PRE-DAWN SHELLING OF THE BlEN 
Hoa Air Base--the largest U.S. bomber 
base in South Viet Nam--"was really 
THE WORST MILITARY DIASTER SINCE PEARL 
Harbor." 
The Viet Cong attack with American- 
made AMMUNITION DESTROYED OR CRIPPLED 
ABOUT HALF THE U.S. JET BOMBER CAPACITY 
in South Viet Nam. Four Americans were 
KILLED AND 3^ INJURED. THE COMMUNISTS 
ESCAPED WITHOUT ANY KNOWN CASUALTIES. 
"It's my understanding that two days 
before this attack the Pentagon was 
warned that these bases were exposed 
to a possible mortar attack, yet there 
WAS NO DISPERSAL OF A IRCRAFT. . .THERE 
were no security precautions," Nixon 
SAID. 
"The situation in South Viet Nam is 
NOW BECOMING DESPERATE. THIS EVENT... 
WAS REALLY THE WORST MILITARY DISASTER 
since Pearl Harbor," he said at a news 
CONFERENCE. "iT IS IN THE SAME CHARAC¬ 
TER as Pearl Harbor. This base is an 
American base and these B 57 bombers 
have never been used. 
"They have never been used and are 
NOT BEING USED IN THE VIETNAMESE STRUG¬ 
GLE AT THE PRESENT TIME. 
"I'M NO MILITARY EXPERT, BUT ANYONE 
that's EVER BEEN EXPOSED TO WORLD WaR 
IS or the Korean War knows that is a 
GREAT REFLECTION ON THE COMMAND STRUC¬ 
TURE in Viet Nam," he said. 
"In the last four years, we've had 
THE WORST SERIES OF FOREIGN POLICY 
failures in this nation's history. 
"If the present Administration con¬ 
tinues IN POWER, WE ARE GOING TO GET 
KICKED OUT OF VlET NAM WITHIN A YEAR. 
All of Southeast Asia will go communist 
WITHIN THREE YEARS AND THEN WE'LL BE 
IN A WAR TO SAVE The PHILIPPINES," NlX- 
ON SAID. 
Nixon said the present military com¬ 
mand STRUCTURE IN SOUTH VlET NAM SUFFERS 
FROM TOO MUCH CIVILIAN INTERFERENCE. 
He SAID U.S. FOREIGN POLICY PROBLEMS 
ARE THE RESULT OF BASING POLICY ON THE 
PERSONALITY OF OUSTED SOVIET PREMIER 
Nikita S. Khrushchev. "We have no 
POLICY AT THIS TIME," HE SAID. 
"It HAS BEEN BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION 
THAT POLICIES SHOULD BE CHANGED ACCORD¬ 
ING TO WHAT THE PERSON IN THE KREMLIN 
HAPPENS TO BE THINKING OR DOING AT A 
PARTICULAR TIME," NlXON SAID. 
CASTRO CONFESSION 
Havana(UPI)--Prem 1 er Fidel Castro 
ADMITTED LAST NIGHT THAT THE U.S. ECO¬ 
NOMIC EMBARGO CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR ALL 
of Cuba's troubles. 
"Our inexperience, our incapacity, 
AND OUR IRRESPONSIBILITY HAVE ALSO BEEN 
THE CAUSE OF MANY OF OUR DIFFICULTIES," 
HE SAID. "THE BLOCKADE CAN'T BE USED 
AS A PRETEXT." 
CAST n O, ADDRESSING A HAVANA TRANSPORT 
Workers' Congress, said that the U.S. 
RESTRICTIONS ON TRADING WITH CUBA 
SHOULD SERVE AS A STIMULUS TO THE IS¬ 
LAND'S ECONOMIC EFFORT. 
In A TWO-HOUR SPEECH THAT ENDED AT 
MIDNIGHT, HE WAS OPTIMISTIC IN H I S FORE¬ 
CASTS ABOUT THE ISLAND'S SUGAR CROP, 
THE MAINSTAY OF THE CUBAN ECONOMY. 
The iO MILLION TONS ANNUAL PRODUCTION 
FORESEEN FOR 1970 WILL BE ACHIEVED, HE 
SA I D . 
"THE INTERESTING THING i S THAT WHEN WE 
HAVE ACHIEVED THAT AMOUNT, WE PROBABLY 
WILL HAVE TO PROMOTE A HIGHER ONE."
