INTERPRETING
Soviet UN Antics On Congo
Crisis May Cost Support
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
J The Soviet Union has thrown a
War scare into the Congo crisis,
is attacking the United Nations,
®(nd by those ats may lose per
manently the support of many of
tsh e newly emerging nations
•vyhich ‘she hoped would help ad
vance "her cause.
. The] alacrity with which she
called the pro-Communist An
tonio ..Gizenga group the legiti
mate •government of the Congo,
thus providing her with a tech
nical basis for- a Laos-type mil
itary aii’lift if she chooses, has
disturbed everyone who hoped to
smooth over the Lumumba crisis
without a cha-otic, civil war. And
the smaller nations do hope for
this.
The break in relations with
Secretary-General Dag Hammar-
skjold of the United Nations,
and the attempt to scuttle the
entire U. N. operation in the
Congo, runs against what most
o fthe nations have already voted
in favor of, and threaten the fo
cal point around which they be
lieve their security revolves.

THE BATTALION
— Sound Off
‘welcome ray. .. ?
Editor,
The Battalion:
The letter by William J. Heard,
’57, in the Feb. 9 issue of The
Battalion, praising the courage
ousness of the editor concerning
his editorial on the film “Opera
tion Abolition” echoes my senti
ments exactly.
When a large number of
Americans, presumably many
who are loyal citizens, have un
wittingly taken up the Commu
nist chant of abolishing the
House Committee on Un-Ameri
can Activities (HCUA)', an ar
ticle of this type is a welcome ray
of light.
For those who desire more in
sight on the present controver
sial film “Operation Abolition,”
the HCUA has published an
item-by-item refutation of the
many slanderous charges made
against this film. (HCUA state
there is only one error, and this
is a matter of sequence in the
appearance of Harry Bridges.)
This information, along with
J. Edgar Hoover’s publication
“Communist Targe t—Youth,”
which further affirms the film
and states the demonstrations
were very definitely Communist
inspired, can be obtained by
writing Chairman Francis E.
Walter, House Committee on Un-
American Activities, House of
Representatives, Washington,
D.C.
The mayor of San Francisco,
George Christopher, who was
present at the demonstration
scene, also proclaimed the factu-
ality of this film in his recent
radio broadcast over the Mutual
Broadcasting System. He too,
states the riots were Communist
inspired and led.
I was not present in San Fran
cisco to observe these demon
strations first-hand—nor do I
imagine anyone in the Bryan-
College Station area was;'there
fore it becomes necessary for us
to depend upon the judgement of
others. HCUA and the film,
“Operation Abolition,” must be
effective as evidenced by the fer
vent attempt of the Communists
to discredit them (according to
“The Worker” and other Com
munist and Communist-front
publications). Personally, I’ll
choose the pro-America, anti-
Communist line any day.
G. L. Morrow, ’63
Social Calendar
India, which frequently ignores
Western policy, is a leader among
these countries which, however
naively, wish just to be let alone.
One of the most significant
products of the Soviet actions on
Tuesday was the immediate ex
pression of disapproval by India.
Instead of withdrawing the
U. N. force from the Congo, In
dia said, it should be strength
ened along with the whole U. N.
policy. It’s Congolese troops
which should be disarmed, and
foreign elements eliminated, said
the Indian ambassador to Wash
ington, adding: “It should only
be done in the U. N.”
This is faith reiterated despite
U. N. inability to act decisively
so far. It is, by its direct con
tradiction of Communist policy,
a strong complaint against any
one who would promote chaos in
the Congo for their own pur
poses.
The Soviet idea that she can
establish a puppet regime even
in part of the Congo, as she has
tried to do in Cuba, without pro
ducing a direct conflict and per
haps war with the West, is far
fetched. If it comes to that*
through promotion of civil war,
the West will not sit back and
see Africa start down the Com
munist road as did Asia after
World War II.
The Western powers, also, are
just as determined as the small
nations that the United Nations
shall not be undermined.
If the Soviet Union continues
her pressures on either or both
of these points, she will produce
a coalescence which might not
