A clean shift night clerk was robbed of $159.87 at Wayfarer Motel 416 Idalou Road by a young gunman. The suspect fled, leaving investigators to chase leads as a sleepy dog watched the scene. UN secretary Hammarskjold rejected a Soviet demand to force entry into Katanga with UN troops, favoring a resolution by Tunisian and Ceylonese delegates urging Belgium to withdraw and asserting no interference in Congo internal affairs.
