20 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, Jenuery 21, 1963 Congo Economic Problems By. RICHARD K. 0'MALLEY ELISABETHVILLE (AP) -- This capital of the copper-rich of Katanga was sweep- away the debris of seces- today as President Moise Tshombe continued to co- operate with United Nations forces in reuniting Katanga with The Congo. The economic and political re facing Elisabethville a reunited Congo are im. mense. Except for the human @ement, they exceed those of Leopoldville, the sister city 1,000 miles to the northwest Mount that is the seat of the central Congo government. Both face basically the same tanged skein of tasks. Inflation is here and moving up. Food is rationed--the biggest economic difference in compari. son with Leopoldville. Goods are scarce. White and Negro housewives line up to buy what is available. Food is sky-high. One potato costs the equivalent of seven cents. A housewife must pay 40 cents for four carrots. Only cigarettes are plentiful. Elisabethvilie's tobacco factory has always supplied most of The Congo. This is a tidy city of 320,000 people, living in a heady atmos- Phere 4,000 feet above the sea. About 12,000 are Ewuropeans. People here, both European and Negro are more lively iiian those who live in the humid heat of Leopoldville. Towering Sikhs, pink - faced Irish troops, impassive Gur- khas, Tunisians and Ethiopians occupy this city in the name of the United Nations. They are the physical reality of the United Nations' determination to end Tshombe's independence, a project concluded quietly here Thursday night. Despite the fact that both Lopoldville and this heart of Katanga have undergone blood. he is able to solve his own eco- nomic and political problems shed and warfare, the visible evidence is a few bullet-scarred houses in the supurbs and a makeshift bridge replacing one blown up by Tshombe's armed forces in their retreat. Europeans here have man- aged to maintain the illusion that this is a local society dom- inated by them as it was in the days of Belgian colonial ad- ministration. There are only two restau- rants which deserve the name. Nightly these are filled by Eu- ropeans, But fear is always present, "We are afraid of what may happen when troops and gen- rmes of the central Congo government are sent here," one white man said. "We saw the play ed after independence. ow do you think they are go. ing to act now that they have beaten secession?" NEGROES APATHETIC The Negro population seems apathetic, This is not surprising for, nN the modern history of The Congo, the Negro has al- ways been the subordinate whose thinking was done for him. It will be a long time before he is able to solve his own eco- nomic and political problems and if The Congo is ever to regain its feet it means a stag- gering expenditure by the United Nations. One. official es- timated it would be at least 15 years before The Congo could take its own first steps. Problems not unusual in any new-born society are compli- cated in The Congo by tribal loyalties which one day could spark the flame of war. This has already occurred in South Kasai, where warriors are set- tling scores with spear, gun and knife. This city is the result of the impressive enterprise of Union Mimere du Maut Katanga, which developed and reaped riches from Katanga's mineral wealth. Katanga once bore the lion's share of the Congo tax burden. Until it does again, the United Nations must either lend its fi- nancial and technical support or watch the country -sink into chaos. CHISOX SIGN SCORE CHICAGO (AP) -- Pitcher Herb Score, still trying a come- back from a tragic playing mis- hap in 1957, was among four players signed Saturday for 1963 by Chicago White Sox. Also signed were rookie pitchers Bob Gordon and Dennis McLain and first baseman Grover Jones. Score, 29, struck in the right eye by a line drive five seasons ago had a 10-7 mark for In- dianapolis in 1962. New Chapter Foreseen In Red History BERLIN (AP)--The Kremlin has been defied in public, and this Red Chinese challenge may mark the opening of a new chapter in world communism's history. The movement is likely to be weakened as a result of what took place in East Berlin last week, Perhaps the world is see- ing the beginning of a division of the Communist world into two camps. That development might take a long time, but it would be history repeating itself.. The movement divided once before, in a titanic clash of opinion be- tween Stalin and Leon Trotsky. The Kremlin won that one. But the Kremlin is far differ- ent today from when Stalin was the high priest of communism, and disobedience brought pun. ishment. Tito of Yugoslavia got away with it because he had no border with the U.S.S.R., but the punishment in 1948 was ex. communication from the family of Communists. The 2,500 delegates and guests from 70 countries at the East German party congress last week saw the Red Chinese prac- tically thumb their noses at Khrushchev and demand that he admit he had been in the oe in his argument with em. NOT QUEENSBURY In boxing in Thailand the feet, knees and elbows are as legal as the. fists, but biting and gouging are disallowed. Berlin Wall Saves East Germans - K BERLIN (AP)--Soviet Pre. mier Khrushchev says the peo- ple of East Berlin should: be thankful for the wall splitting East and West Berlin because it keeps them wedded to com- oerushe needed Friday eV CO! that the barrier is hard on the ordinary people of this divided city--that it interrupts the pat- tern of their daily lives by keep- ing families divided. "But the class struggle has its own laws," he said. "Today there is only the alternative be- --- capitalism and social ism," The Soviet leader justified the wall--with its armed guards, bricks and barbed wire-- by saying that it prevented the West from swallowing Commu. nist East Germany.
