Congo Plan Targeted by Gromyko at UN Debate

At the United Nations in New York, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko prepared to confront Congo chaos. He accused Belgium, Dag Hammarskjold, and Congo leader Joseph Kasavubu of conspiring to dismantle the land. Observers noted tensions over the federal plan and Kasavubu’s acceptance of a confederation. Hammarskjold reportedly kept Dayal in Congo to avoid friction with India’s Nehru. A UN force, augmented by India's battalion and Ceylonese troops, could exceed 20 000 with aims to reach 25 000. A Congo committee would name jurists to probe Lumumba’s death after his transfer to Katanga.

Inventory lean times lift hopes for steel upswing

Steel Magazine says recovery in the next three months may hinge on the timing of new orders rather than total volume. Inventories of steel users are near bare, with a 10 to 15 percent orders rise potentially causing hardship. If demand gently increases, mills may raise output from 55 to 60 percent capacity in April and 65 percent in May as liquidation slows. Japan buys 900,000 tons for Q2 shipments amid price gains on scrap.
