VOL, 92 -- NO. 1 OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY. 2, 1963 Ottawa and for payment UN Forces Close On Jadotville ELISABETHVILLE -- United Nations forces in The Congo to- day were closing in on Jadot- ville, Katanga's second biggest town where President Moise Tshombe has set up temporary headquarters. An advance guard of a United Nations armored column was last reported 15 miles from Ja- dotville, 85 miles northwest of Elisabethville, the capital of se- cessionist Katanga 'province. The column of more than 150 vehicles was backed by UN fighter planes that provided air cover Tuesday for Indian, Irish and Ethiopian troops as they crossed the Lufira River. Katangan forces blew up a bridge across the river in a bid to stop the UN advance on Ja- dotville but it was repaired by Indian engineers. A UN spokesman in Leopold- ville said four UN soldiers have been killed and 19 wounded in the 70-mile advance on Jadot- ville from Elisabethville. Tshombe was reported to be ready to return to Elisabeth. ville provided he was granted freedom of movement in the Ka- tangan capital. The secessionist president, in messages to diplomats here Tuesday, asked that American, British and French consuls es- cort him on the last third of U.K. Papers Caution JFK be ! LJ ess' LONDON (AP)--British news-| his journey from Kolwezi to Elisabethville. There was no immediate UN reaction, but Tshombe's demand for a cease-fire on the road from Elisabethville to Kolwezi was 'likely to cause difficulty. Secretary-General U Thant of the UN already has stated that Tshom be and his ministers would not be molested in Elisa- |bethville if they refrain. from jstirring up trouble for UN jforces occupying the capital. | But Robert K. A. Gardiner, |the Ghanaian chief of United |Nations operations in The |Congo, has declared the United |Nations would not 'make the |same mistake again" of allow- ing Katangan armed forces a chance to reorganize. He referred to UN military operations in Katanga in Sep- tember and December, 1961, which ended inconclusively. Tshombe arrived in Jadotville }from Kolwezi, 220 miles west of |Elisabethville. He flew to Kol- ;wezi Monday from Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, where he met with Sir Roy Welensky, prime minister of the Rhodes- ian Federation, and top British officials. Britain has urged Tshombe to lose no time in returning to Eli- sabethville in order to use his authority in helping bring about a peaceful solution to the crisis in the province. The Katangan leader's bar-| gaining position has weakened sharply since the UN military operation began last Friday. The UN now controls Elisa- bethville and several! other main Katangan towns, includ- ing Kamina Town, 280 miles northwest of the capital.

U.K. Deterrent Status The Same LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit- ish Defence Minister Peter Thorneycroft met a delegation of Conservative party back- benchers Tuesday to assure them the Polaris missile agree- ment with the. United States will not change the. status of Britain's independent nuclear deterrent. Delegation leader Sir Arthur Harvey said after the 90-min- ute meeting with Thorneycroft: I feel satisfied . . . that we will have the absolute right to use this weapon as the government thinks fit--that is, to take it out of NATO at a given time--and that it will be feasible and practicable to @o'so." Under the agreement reached by Présiuent Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan in Nassau, the British Polaris de- terrent will be integrated with an over-all NATO deterrent, with Britain retaining the right to use it independently. Harvey said Thorneycroft had also allayed the delegation's doubts about the "'gap" in the British deterrent before Polaris replaces the present aircraft- boone Blue Steel missiles in A joint statement issued after YOU'LL FIND _ INSIDE...
