Congo Chiefs Set Up Confederation Amid Unresolved Issues
Congolese leaders concluded round table talks toward a federation of semi independent states in the Congo but left major questions unresolved. Kasavubu was proclaimed president of the confederation and sought UN recognition, warning Gizenga could be outlawed if he refused to join. A military pact against communism gained ratification, while Gizenga’s forces remained outside the plan. Pravda accused the conference of colonialist aims to split the Congo and seize Katanga and Kasai, criticizing UN actions and Hammarskjold.

Snow Survey Predicts Low Water for Southwestern Montana
March snow survey by the Soil Conservation Service indicates a low water supply for southwest Montana. Beaverhead River drainage shows poor outlook while Big Hole Boulder and Jefferson rivers expect fair to below average flow. Snow pack storage stands at 82 percent of last year and 62 percent of the 1943-57 average, with several streams forecast well below normal through September. Farmers are advised to plant drought-tolerant crops and defer new hay stands as irrigation remains critical. Measurements for several snow courses show notably lower water content than average across the region.
