FRENCH USE NAPALM BOMBSIN ALGERIA
American-made napalm bombs and American U-2 reconnaissance planes are being used against Algerian liberation bgbters, tbe Soviet Union charged in the United Nations in New York.
Mr. Zorin, Soviet Deputy-Foreign Minister, speaking in the Assembly’s Main Political Committee, called on the French Government to realise that negotiations with the Algerian Provisional Government was the only way to end the six- year-old war.
The 99-member committee was discussing an Afro-Asian resolution proposing a U.N.-supervised referendum to enable the people of Algeria to decide their own future.

Ex-Hitler Man Gets Top Nato Job
Hitler’s former generals scored two major victories recently when Nato's top brass met behind closed doors to prepare for their Ministerial Council meeting.
They were given, for the first time, the chairmanship of Nato’s top Military Committee which sits permanently in Washington.
And the man who got the job was Hitler’s former Chief of Operations, General Adolf Heusinger, once on the U.N. list of war criminals and the man who ordered “wholesale punitive operations’’ against Soviet civilians during the war.
France’s war, in which 800,000 Algerians had lost their lives, could not have continued if it were not for the support of her Nato allies, the U.S. particularly, Mr. Zorin said.
‘DELUSIVE SLOGAN’Napalm bombs “made in the
U.S.” were being used; Nato bases in North Africa were accommodating French soldiers engaged in the war, and American U-2 planes based in North Africa were carrying out aerial photographic missions to help the French.
Yet there were hysterical screams
when the Soviet Union and China supported the National Liberation Front.
In face of increasing demands for an end to the war. President de Gaulle was forced to “veer and tack,” trying to create the impression that he was not ruling out negotiations.
The idea of his “Algerian Algeria” proposals was nothing but a “delusive slogan, aimed to lead world public opinion into confusion,” Mr. Zorin declared. Behind all his conditions was the old de-
'mand for Algerian capitulation.
FREEDOM FIGHTERSAlgerian liberation Armymen prepare their gun for action. New Russian
weapons will soon increase their power.
WORLD-WIDE DEMANDS FORLUMUMBAS RELEASE
U.S. Government's "Shameless Gamble"^ O R L D -W ID E demands
for action to secure the release of Premier Lumumba and restoration of the lawful Government and Parliament of the Congo is growing.
An appeal to U.N. Secretary- General, Mr. Hammarskjoeld, to try to get Mr. Lumum'ba free came from the National Assembly of the United Arab Republic. It appeals to other parliaments to do likewise.
In Ghana plans are in hand for a mass demonstration in Accra outside the U.S. Embassy, and the
Press has strongly criticised U.S. duplicity in the Congo.
“ The whole world knows”, said the Ghana Times, “that the lawful Prime Minister of the Congo. Patrice Lumumba, is in the hands of Mobutu’s thugs who are doing a bad service with the rifles they received fr§m the imperialists”.
In London, an official of the Ghana High Commission, Mr. Kwesi Armah, who is also chairman of the Organisation, said they had information showing that the U.S. was financing Colonel Mobutu and his men.
SHAMELESS GAMBLE “Unless the U.S. Government
U.S. BALTIC FLEET THREAT TO RUSSIA
U.S. top military brass recently made its most provocative war threat yet against the Soviet Union.
It was reported from Washington that the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff arc planning the establishment of a powerful U.S. fleet in the Baltic Sea, which washes Soviet, Polish and German Democratic coasts.
This Baltic fleet would include submarines armed with Polaris nuclear missiles, based in Scotland, and would act in co-operation with Hitler’s former naval commanders.
The plan is believed to have been put forward in the first place by the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Arleigh Burke, the man who has boasted that he
V could destroy the Soviet Union.
TSHOMBE GETS BELGIAN AWARD
The Belgian Foreign Ministry has so far been eager to succest that Mr. Tshombe’s visit to Birusscls was of no snecial sitmificance and to cm- nhasizc that the President of Katanca >vts in Belgium only for an unofficial stay. A chance mav have been brought aboirt, however, by the decision of the United Arab Republic to nationalize Belgian assets and of Ghana to Break off diplomatic relations because of events in the Congo. It is considered significant that King Baudouin has now given Mr. Tshombe the Great Ribbon of tbe Order of the Belgian Crown.
stops this shameless gamble”, said the committee in a statement, “we shall not hesitate to call upon the African States and all r>eace-loving nations to intervene and restore legality throughout the Congo”.
In cables to Mr. Hammarskjoeld. to all the independent African States, to India, China, the Soviet Union and other countries, (he committee implored world leaders to help save Premier Lumumba.
NASSER-NEHRUThe U.A.R. Ambassador in
Delhi said that President Nasser was in touch with Premier Nehru, President Nkrumah and others to make a joint move on the Congo situation.
Yugoslavia announced that it was withdrawing its diplomatic mission in the Congo and recalling its pilots and other personnel serving with U.N. forces there.
Nigerian newspapers condemned the role of U.N. and the West African Pilot declared that the U.N. “turned out to be an instrument for the re-establishment of Belgian domination”.
i t BREAK RELATIONS WITHU.S.”
-London Lnmumba MeetingAfrican leaders addressed a
Hyde Park rally recently organised by the Committee of African Organisations. Hundreds of Africans greeted them with cries of “Uhuru” (Freedom). All the speakers demanded independent African States should take action to restore legal government in the Congo.
“I stand for no ideology but for the establishment of democracy in Africa”, said Mr. M. Sipalo (Northern Rhodesia)
Mr. D. Chisiza (Nyasaland), who
declared that the African Governments should march into the Congo, said the Western nations merely talked of human rights but would not act. “If we want to get Mr. Lumumba released we have to get the African Governments to form an African Command,” he said.
Labour M.P. Fenner Brockway said it seemed to be forgotten that the U.N. had entered the Congo to support the Central Government of which Mr. Lumumba was Prime Minister.
A resolution passed at the meeting called on the independent African States to exert the maximum pressure on the U.N. to see that Mr. Lumumba was freed. The independent African States, said the resolution, should break off diplomatic relations with America.
Singing “Freedom, freedom, everywhere there must be freedom,” hundreds of Africans, with many British supporters, marched through London’s West End afterwards to demand the release of Mr. Lumumba.
Portuguese Arrest Lawyers
Dr. Antonio Macedo, president of the Council of the Oporto Bar, and five other Oporto lawyers were arrested on November 4 by the Portuguese political police.
The five are; Teixeira da Costa, Araujo Correia, Armando Bacelar, Mario Cal Brandao, and his brother. Dr. Carlos Cal Brandao. Dr. Carlos Cal Brandao was exiled before the war on Portuguese Timor in the East Indies, where he fought with other Portuguese deportees against the Japanese during the wartime occuoafion of the islands. He was finally taken off the island by the Australian Navy and later served in the Australian Army.
No specific charges have been brought against any of the six lawyers. It is thought that their arrest has been occasioned by a petition they all signed, protesting about an elderly woman who has been in prison for the last eight years and who was being deprived of hospital treatment during a recent illness.
The activities of all six in recent years, when they have consistently defended Portuguese citizens charged with political offences, appear to have irked the authorities to the point where their liberty has now been taken away from them.
Faced with this mounting criticism, the Western Powers did their utmost to prevent a ^ v ie t document on the situation in the Congo from being discussed at the Security Council.
When the Security Council finally met,* the U.S. representative of Britain, Sir Pierson Dixon, tried (t!o remove the Soviet delegate, Mr. Zorin, from the chair, although it was his turn to be chairman.
The Yugoslav delgate told Mr. Hammarskjoeld that his Government demanded the “most urgent and wergetic steps be taken for the liberation of the head for the Central Government of the Congo, Mr. Lumumba”, and other members of the Government and M.P.s.
President Kasavubu has signed a decree placing Orientale Pro- vinc—where Premier Lumumba has his main support — under martial law.

FAMILIES, HOMES BROKEN IN U S. PERSECUTIONS
]Y|cCARTHYlTE hysteria may have receded, but political
persecution and imprisonment of Communists and progressives continue in the United States.
Winston, Green and Sobell are among those stilt serving long prison sentences imposed at the height of the McCarthy witch-hunt.
A delegation of 25 clergyrnen, representing all religious denominations in the U.S., will converge on Washington, D.C. to lobby the White House for release of Morton Sobell.
CONSPIRACY CHARGESobell was charged with con
spiracy to commit espionage. His name was added to an indictment preferred against Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and he was sentenced to 30 years in prison on the flimsiest of evidence.
For the seventh time parole has been refused to Henry Winston, the Negro Communist leader who is now totally blind and partially paralysed from prison neglect of a brain tumour operation.
The Eisenhower administration showed its brutality by sending Winston back to jail from hospital against the advice of the medical consultants the U.S. Government had itself appointed.
TRUMAN’S MEN FREEDYet at the same time as Winston
was refused pvarole, parole was granted to Matthew Connolly, private secretary to former President Truman, and to T. Samar Caudle, a Truman man in the Justice Department, after a few months imprisonment on tax evasion charges.

Pakistan Communist Killed
Hassan Nassir, a leader of the Pakistan Communist Party, was killed by police authorities on November 13, according to a Bulgarian Telegraph Agency message from New Delhi.
Hassan Nassir was arrested in Karachi four months ago. Pakistan authorities announced his death only after his body had been buried by the police.
The secretary of the Secretariat of the National Council of the Indian Communist Party recently issued a statement denouncing the Pakistan authorities responsible for Hassan Nassir’s death and demanding punishment of his murderers.

MR. ARTHUR JACOBS
Greetings To All Sportsmen
It is nearly two years since the first SASA conference, and already we can look back on splendid efforts. For the New Year I send greetings to all sportsmen and confidently predict that 1961 will be a year of great progress in the field of true non-racial sportsmanship in our country.
The most important issue is the question of international recognition. We are earnestly putting to the world that a man’s ability should be primary consideration on the international platform.
I app^I to all sportsmen to direct their energies to one concerted effort to solve all differences and dissentions, and rally arond the non-racial S.A. Sports Association which already embraces 75,000 sportsmen of all races and which seeks to serve all.
Best wishes for 1961— Arthur Jacobs, President, S.A. Weightlifting and Body-building Federation.
