Reliable reports said Tshombe and his staff left his presiden- tia! residence here and headed for Kipishu, a mining town on the Rhodesian border. The report came as UN sol- diery were said to have captured the Lido Hotel, less than a mile froin Tshombe's residence. The carture could not be confirmed. Elisabethville rocked to the sound of small arms and mortar fire today as the UN troops staged their biggest effort yet to win control of the capital.

Gurkha troops cleared all houses and sniper bases along Stanley Avenue, connecting UN headquarters with the airport road. The Camp Massart engage- ment was aimed at isolating this focal point for the Katanga armed forces. Swedish and Irish troops were fighting to cut off approach routes from two town- ships nearby.
