Military Mission
Runs Into Trouble
In Congo Capital
LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo
(AP)—Lt. Gen. Louis W. Truman
led a U.S. military mission into
the Congo capital Friday and ran
into an anti-American outburst by
opposition members of Parlia-
ment.“
Extreme nationalists charged
the United States was conspiring
with the United Nations to set up
a military base in this primitive
land, torn by internal strife since
gaining independence in mid-1960.
Premier Cyrille Adoula, whose
shaky moderate regime has de-
pended largely on United Nations
support, was called upon by oppo-
nents to explain his government’s
position in the sudden American
step.
Zorin said the United States ap-
peared to be entering "on the
road to direct subversion" of gen-
erally accepted U.N. principles by
sending the mission.
He called it an arbitrary and

"This cannot but lead to serious
complications of the situation in-
side the Congo and outside," he
added.
Zorin declined to say whether
he was questioning the authority
of Thant to request military
equipment for the U.N. Congo
force from the United States and
several other countries.
He said that “as far as I
know" a similar request had not
been made of the Soviet Union.
He indicated that he believed a
request for aid does not entail
the sending of a military mission.
He reiterated Soviet charges
that the United States and other
Western powers are intensifying
