Mr. Heath (left) is shown here with Finance Minister Fleming (centre) ction WASHINGTON (AP)--A spokesman said Wednesday the state department believes'an at- tempt was made to buy a coun- try's recognition of Katanga as a sovereign country and that Michael Struelens, who repre- sents President Moise Tshomb in New York, was involved. The official, press officer Lin- coln White, did not name the country to which the offer was made, but the context made it clear he was talking about Costa Rica. In New York Struelens issued a statement saying that "'as far as the allegation by Mr. Lincoln White pertains to me, person- ally, it is absolutely without! foundation. "Even if the story were true," he added, 'which it is not, I cannot understand why the | JUnited States would be so con-| cerned about diplomatic efforts made by another government."| said he was answering press re-| ports that "'Struelens might have been involved in an at- tempt to purchase recognition for Katanga as a sovereign na- |tion,"" REPORT 41,000,000 PAID One published report (by col- }umnist Drew Pearson) had said jan investigation was under way into reports that $1,000,000 had | | White, in a statement volun-| teered at a press conference,) Katangan Agent Denies Bribery activities in other areas as an agent of Tshombe The story said the offer was indignantly rejected by the Costa Ricans, and in effect White backed that up. Struelens, a former Belgian civil servants, is in the United States as an information agent for the Katanga regime. His ac- tivities have come under sharp attack from Carl Rowan, dep- uty assistant secretary of state for polittcal affairs. In a speech at Philadelphia last Wednesday night, Rowan spoke of big money spending by Struelens, and criticized the ac- tivities of the Union' Miniere du Haut-Katanga, the big mining group which controls much of Katanga's revenue - producirg properties.

Morand of the Ontario Supreme Court Wednesday or- dered suspension of a prelimin- istrate's court against 10 men accused of gambling offences. The hearing, which opened last Thursday before Magistrate R. C, Taylor over the protests of defence lawyers, was broken off after 3% days of testimony. The Supreme Court order, which set the date of resumption no earlier than Jan 19, means the hearing will start over again after that date. Mr, Justice Morand granted a motion of prohibition of the ap- | |plication of Malcolm Robb, law- yer for two defendants, on the ground that he did not have enough time to prepare his case.

Since about half the 104 UN members ._|are new countries of Africa and Asia, a decision in favor of Portugal would indeed be sur- prising. The change in complexion tland size of the UN--there were only 51 members when it was created in 1945--is one reason for the recurring question as to 'lwhether the global forum will '| survive, and if so in what form.

The British foreign secretary, the Earl of Home, said some assembly resolutions om colon- ialism are "reckless and care- less" and he pointed to The Congo where bloody events proved inability for self-govern- ment. He castigated this reso- lution, passed Dec. 14, 1960: "Inadequacy of political, eco- nomic, socia! or education pre- naredness should never serve as a pretext for delaying inde- pendence." It is an issue causing sharp cleavage and some UN dele- gates feel the departure -- or expulsion -- of even one mem- ber such as Portugal from the world body would be disastrous precedent at this time. The majority feeling appears to be, however, that Portugal would be unwise to leave the UN since that would not solve the colonial problem but per- haps make it worse.
