Governor Sir Colin Thornley declared a state of emergency and placed the colony under martial law. Police broke up mobs looting stores and arrested 20 persons. In the vanguard of the looters were some of the 200 prisoners released from the city jail as the hurricane approached. The towering seas that broke over the city destroyed the prison. Twenty - foot waves rolled through the ground floor of Gov- ernment House, the governor's residence and official headquar- ters, and washed away all rec- ords. TOUR BELIZE Food kitchens were set up and the distribution of medical sup- plies began. A tank truck toured Belize, distributing chlorinated water, the only safe supply in the city. Belize is the biggest city in this British colony of about 91,- 000 Latin Americans and British subjects. Well off the tourist beat, it depends to a great ex- tent on its lumber and citrus trade. Epidemics of disease were feared, and J. W. Macmillan, minister of health, education and housing, issued an urgent shelter. DIEF Congo Push Welcomed Leader Says LEOPOLDVILLE--Gen. Jos-|@ eph Mobutu said today troops of the central Congo government have moved along a wide front more than 35 miles into North Katanga province in a general offensive to end the long-stand- ing secession proclaimed by President Moise Tshombe of Ka- tanga. Occupying villages and mis- sion stations as they march, Mobutu said his troops have been joyously received by the} North Katanga population. The beaming army comman- der-in-chief told reporters flags of the centrai government are being planted all along the route from Kasai province into north- western Katanga. "The missionaries and villag ers are rushing out to greet us, giving our troops food and candy," he said, GIVES ORDER ALBERT WREN Liberal-Labor 'MPP Wren Dies | SIOUX LOOKOUT (CP)--Al- jbert Wren, Liberal-Labor mem- ber of the Ontario legislature for 10 years and one of the most hqutspoken critics of the Progres- sNe Conservative government, died Wednesday night.

(AP) A white Presbyterian minister, actively backing Negroes en- gaged in a civil rights struggle, languished in a jail today after refusing to pay a $50 fine for loitering. Rev. Maurice McCrackin, 55, of Cincinnati, practiced passive resistance Wednesday when his case was called. Mr. McCrackin refused to go to court under his own power and four deputies had to carry him bodily into the courtroom. The outcome depended on whether the Soviet Union would approve still-secret plans.of U Thant of Burma, the big pow- ers' choice for the post, for the number of principal advisers he would name and the geographic areas from which he would choose them. After weeks of Soviet-Ameri- can wrangling over this last re- maining issue, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson and British Minister of State Joseph B. God- ber said Wednesday they would let 'U Thant decide the matter for himself. Deputy Foreign Minister Val- erian Zorin of Russia after a conference with U Thant told re- Filling UN Post At Ticklish Point porters: 'We are near to agree- ment."

MAYBE NEJT WEEK However, some diplomats thought the council - assembly action would not take place until early next week. The Soviet position has been that there should be seven prin- cipal advisers--American, Rus- sian, Latin American, African, West European, Eastern Euro- pean and Asian. 7 The United States and its West European allies argued for only five -- all those but the East European and Asian.
