Katanga Students
Storm Grounds
Of U.S. Consulate
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga,
The Congo UR — University stu
dents, snouting “down with Ken
nedy!” and “bash the consul’s
head in!” stormed into the grounds
of the U.S. Consulate Thursday,
ripped down the American flag
and broke all windows.
A small shack on the grounds
was set afire and windows of
Consul Jonathan Dean’s parked car
were broken with stones.
Dean and his staff watched the
demonstration from a balcony but
withdrew later to escape the rocks.
The students organized the de
monstration after an announce
ment in New York that the United
States will supply more military
equipment to bolster the U.N.
campaign to end Katanga’s seces
sion.
President M o i s e Tshombe’s
guards, called to the scene, dis
persed the demonstrators. About
150 of the students, African and
European, came back and broke
through the police cordon again.
They finally were scattered by a
platoon of special police, but one
of the demonstrators said, “there
is not enough damage. We will be
back.”
The student attack came after
anti-American blasts by Tshombe
at a news conference at which he
threatened again to “apply the
scorched earth policy” in Katanga
rather than give in to military
pressure.
People were betting on horse
races as long ago as 664 B.C.

FAA Issues New
Air Safety Rule
WASHINGTON MWThe Federal
Aviation Agency plans to issue a
new air safety rule requiring that
cockpit doors be kept locked on
all commercial flights.
Following a series of airliner
hijackings and other cockpit em
ergencies more than a year ago,
the FAA asked the airlines to keep
the doors to the cockpits locked.
“Notwithstanding this, several
instances have been reported in
which passengers, and in one in
stance an animal,’’ have gained
access to the flight deck contrary
to regulations, the FAA said.
Informed sources said the ani
mal referred to may have been a
donkey shown in a set of flight
deck pictures taken by Trans
World Airlines flight engineer

RECORD $99 BILLION
BUDGET IS FORESEEN
WASHINGTON tJ’1 —- At around
599 billion, President Kennedy’s
next budget is expected to top all
records for federal spending, in
war or peacetime.
Though the Pentagon’s share is
not finally fixed — and cannot be,
until the Skybolt controversy
ends — military outlays exceeding
$50 billion apparently will eat up
more than half the fiscal 1964
budget, informed officials said.
A fourth consecutive year of red
ink spending is foreseen. Some
experts guess the deficit at above
$6 billion, compared with thi:
year’s $7.8 billion.
The term “Damyankee,” eir
ployed still with more or less af
fection south of the Mason ani
Dixon line, didn’t originate there
