Russia accuses U S of meddling in Congo during peace talks
At a United Nations news conference Russia charged the United States with bypassing the Security Council to push the Congo peace process in support of Katanga secessionist leader Moise Tshombe. U N Undersecretary Ralph Bunche denied the claim, saying U S policy followed U Thant and that Bunche had not been advised by Washington. Bunche and Emund Gullion, Kennedy’s envoy, attended Kitona talks where Tshombe appeared to renounce secession under Adoula’s government, though Bunche noted no formal Adoula Tshombe agreement. The UN held fire unilaterally during talks. Bunche showed a signed declaration Tshombe issued. See RUSSIA on Page Two.
