"'Lumumba’s Death Confirmed By The Associated Press ELISABETHYILLE, Katanga— YVSPljrhe Katanga government Monday 2SEDf mnouriced dea th of Patrice Lumumba—and defied the United Nations or anyone else to do any- hf|07 J dl i n p about it. • The office of President Moise ► llshbmbe, archfoe of Lumumba, said the deposed ex-premier lies lin an unmarked grave and the vil- ' % f' a ® e ^ ld ' :)esrnen w h° s ^ ew are getting $8,000 as a reward for X37C (capture of criminals. qj. . “These people have rid the Con- 'go and the whole world of a prob lem,” Tshombe’s Interior Ministry said. The announcement stirred a new threat of civil war in the Congo, where illiterate millions may re gard Lumumba as a martyr. It added another problem to the seemingly desperate role of the United Nations in efforts to bring peace to this eight-month-old coun try. “This will mean blood,” an ar dent follower of Lumumba de clared in Leopoldville, the Congo’s capital. “This will mean war.” But little surprise was evident in Katanga, and some residents of this rich secessionist province, which Lumumba once sought to conquer, said, “Thank goodness he’s dead.” President Tshombe, right-hand man, Interior Minister Godefroid Munongo, disclosed Lumumba’s death. He told newsmen that Lu mumba and two aides—said to have fled with him from a farm house prison last Thursday night —were “massacred yesterday morning” by tribesmen of a vil lage some distance from the point where their getaway car was found in southwest Katanga Sat urday. He refused to name the village or say where the bodies were interred. Conformed With Rumors The official story conformed closely with weekend rumors here that the lanky, left-leaning nation alist agitator, 35, Vas doomed or already dead under circumstances that would never be fully ex plained. Munongo apparently took note of that. “I know that people will say this has' been a plot and that the Katanga government assassinated Lumumba,” he told reporters. “Such an accusation is inevitable —even if Lumumba had died of illness, old age or natural causes. “I will speak frankly: If people accuse us of killing Lumumba, I will reply: “P^ove it.” i with , “DieI U” ie momi! uate eat ' notkees. ay’s colii blights!

Texas Page 3 BY COLUMBIA PROFESSOR TOURPOSTER’ (Continued from Page 1) have been rehearsing since the first week in January. On the stage is the third char acter of the play, “the fourposter,” which is a pink and white bed. Also included in the props are a dresser table and mirror, a “love- seat” couch, and various other ar ticles to give the setting the ap pearance of a normal, humble abode. This show was extremely suc cessful as a Broadway play, only going off stage a few years ago. It was also made into a movie, with animated cartoons spicing the time between acts. The movie was considered unique in that all scenes took place in the same set ting, which . was the apartment room of the married couple. Set crew for the production in cludes Marlene Rushing, Betty Simmons, Dave Woodard, Marcus Edwards and Randal Yeargan. Manipulating the lights will be Charles Hearn and George Plyler. Another important back-stage person is Jane Eisner, who is in charge of costumes. She will in the two players’ dresing rooms be hind the fourth and back side of the stage, assisting with necessary changes as the play progresses. These change in dress and makeup will he accomplished during inter missions between Acts. “The Fourposter” promises an enjoyable and relaxing evening for all who see it, and will be playing in the MSG Lower Level starting tonight through Friday night, with ticket price set at 75 cents. Sigma Xi Lecture Slated March 9 Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, pro fessor of zoology at Columbia Uni versity, will speak here Thurs day, Mar. 9, on “Man and Natural Selection.” Dobzhansky is being presented by the Sigma Xi So ciety, an organization for the en couragement of scientific research as a part of their national lecturer series. Dabzhansky reportedly believes mankind must decide whether it should take the direction of its evolution into its own hands, ra ther than relying on biological forces alone. A summary of his lecture follows: “The emergence of man has been a product of a biological evolution which was governed and directed by natural selection. SelectiofT perpetuated natural endowments which made their possessors fit to survive in their physical, bio logical and cultural environments; selection failed to perpetuate the less fit genotypes. “It is often contended that, ow ing to the development of civiliza tion, and particularly of modern medicine, natural selection has been weakened or suspended alto gether in the human species. “This fear became particularly acute in recent years because the danger that the use and misuse of atomic and other high energy radiations may increase the rate of genetic damage to man’s bio logical environment. These fears are due in part, but only in part, to misunderstanding of the char acter of the, selective evolutionary processes, and particularly of the implications of the label “natural” attached to them. “Natural selection is obviously continuing to be operative in man, although it has an entirely differ ent character under the environ ments created by civilization than it had formerly. This does not, however, dispose of the problem of whether the direction in which human evolution is going at pres ent is a desirable one. “The issue which mankind must face is whether it can rely on bio logical forces alone or will it be forced to take the direction of its evolution in its own hands.” Safety Meet Opens Here Next Week Delegates from Texas colleges and universities will meet on cam pus, Feb. 22-23, for the Fourth Conference on College and, Uni versity Safety for Texas, it was announced here today by John W.
