"'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.”

Mayor Proclaims
‘Engineers Week’
At the request of local engineers I “Engineer’s Week.” The official
College Station Mayor Ernest I declaration released yesterday
Langford has proclaimed this week I reads:
Whereas, the engineers of America have contributed to
the economic advancement of America so that our country
today enjoys a position of leadership among the nations of the
earth in every field of economic endeavor; and
Whereas, the development of our present day society has
been due largely to the engineering profession, which was
instrumental in offering its vast experience, technological
skill, training and scientific genius for the benefit of humani
ty; and
Whereas, there exisits a need for inspiring our young
people to choose the discipline of the engineering profession
and seek an education in this field; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that due recognition be
given to the men and women of the engineering profession
who, through their pioneering efforts, have brought many
benefits to our American way of life.
Now Therefore, I, Ernest Langford, Mayor of the City
of College Station, do hereby proclaim the week of Feb. 17-
25, 1961 as “Engineers’ Week” and call upon the residents
of this community to acknowledge and give proper recogni
tion and honor to the engineers of College Station and Ameri
ca who have earned the plaudits and thanks of a grateful
people.
Signed and the seal of the city affixed this 16th day of
February 1961 at College Station, Texas.
THE BATTALION
Tuesday, February 14, 1961 College Station. 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.”
