ELISABETHVILLE, The Congo (UPI) The Katanga provincial government Mon
day reported that deposed Premier Patrice Lumumba was slain by tribesmen and bur
ied in a secret grave. It dared anyone to prove "assassination" and the stage was set
for a new Congo bloodbath.
Belgian officials warned there would be a "night of the long knives" and reprisal
executions of prisoners held by pro-Lumumba factions in Oriental and Kivu Prov
inces. An estimated 300 prisoners, i eluding at least eight whites, are believed held by
pro-Lumumba forces in Stanleyville, capital of Oriental.
The official announcement by Katanga Interior Minister Godefroid Munongo that
Lumumba, 35, and two companions were killed Sunday ended a four-day mystery that
began . with the Katanga an
nouncement that the three men
had escaped jail Thursday night.
How they were slain was not
revealed. But Munongo said a

Katanga President M o i s e
Tshombe and his aides denied
charges that it staged the jail
break as a cover-up to hide
murder.
To charges that the Katanga
regime had killed Lumumba
along with his former sports
minister Maurice Mpole and
deputy senate speaker Joseph
Okito, the Katanga govern
ment said: "Prove it."
At the United Nations in New
York, the Soviet Union blamed
Belgium, the allies and U.N.
Secretary-General Dag Ham-

the 35-year-old pro-Communist
Lumumba.
Pharmacists
Tour Plants
The Pharmacy School's grad
uating class is making its an
nual industrial trip this week.
A 59-man group, headed by
faculty chaperon Dr. K. L Bran
non, left Chapel Hill Sunday to
visit the Upjohn Company in
Kalamazoo, Mich., and Eli Lilly
and Co. in Indianapolis, Ind.
The class will be taken
through the plants in small
groups so they can observe the
pharmaceutic industry. The
pharmacy students will - get a
chance to see the wide activity
of these concerns, which can't
be viewed within the confines
of a university.
The voyagers are traveling by
bus and railroad and will stay
at local hotels. Included in the
group are ten of the students'
wives and two graduate stu
dents.
U.N. Ambassador Adlai Ste
venson urged "not revenge but
reconciliation." Observers said
this was unlikely.
The announcement of Lu
mumba's death sent a tremor of
fear through the white commun
ity of the Congo.
"God help the Belgian people
and other Europeans in Kivu
and Oriental provinces," a sen
ior Belgian diplomat said in
Elisabethville. "Now is the time
for the night of the long knives
against them."
Antonine Gizenga, Lumum
ba's deputy premier and leader
of the Lumumba stronghold in
Stanleyville, has threatened an
eye for an eye. The 500 Euro
peans in Stanleyville have been
terrorized for months.
Bodies Immediately Buried
Interior Minister Munongo
said natives taking part in the
manhunt for them killed the
three men because they feared
they were armed.
"Their bodies have been bur
ied immediately at a place we
do not . wish to reveal," Mu
nongo told newsmen. "We do
not want eventual pilgrimages
to the scene."

'Shocked' At Slaying
WASHINGTON (UPI) President Kennedy reacted with
"great shock" Monday when informed of Patrice Lumumba's
violent death. Officials feared it would lead to new violence
in The Congo.
The U. S. position was outlined in the United Nations by
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson, who said that "we in the
United. States regret this tragedy. We hope that men every
where will not seek revenge but reconciliation."

on Belgium, its allies, Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold

Soviet Ambassador Valerain A. Zerin spoke with stinging
invective before the Security Council despite an appeal by
U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson for a "sober resolve not

Prayer Mar cla Mer
Singing "Holy, Holy; Holy," 60 Negroes marched through downtown Chapel Hill
Sunday afternoon,' protesting segregation in the town's second "prayer march" within
a week. . '
The Negroes adults, students, and children concluded their half-hour march
with a prayer service i,n front of the Town Hall on Rosemary Street.
Last Wednesday night another group of 60 Negroes had marched the same route
to the Town Hall, where two prayers were given.
The marches were both supported by the local National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People.
Sunday was Brotherhood Sunday in most of the major churches in the country.
This was the occasion for the I
60 Negroes bow their heads in a prayer for racial equality
before the Chapel Hill town hall at the conclusion of a
"Prayer March" Sunday. The Negroes, staging the march' at
noon, were lead by Hilliard Caldwell, a NAACP workeri
prayer march that .day.
The demonstrations have been
coordinated with the anti-se-ereeation
picketing efforts of
other Chapel Hill groups.

began in front of the First Bap
tist Church in Carrboro short
ly before one o'clock..
Its members ranging in age
from 7 years old to 60, the group
marched up the sidewalk on the
campus x side of E. Franklin
Street, singing hymns such as
"Holy, Holy Holy," and-"Sweet
Hour of Prayer." . .
Most of the marchers came
from the Baptist Church, which
had just finished its service. '
The . group marched uptown
as far as Ihe post office, then
crossed to the post office "side
of "the street and marched back
along" Franklin to Columbia
Street, .where they stopped in
front of the Town Hall.
There were only a few people
on the streets at the time and,
except for hooting by one group
of . four college students, there
were no incidents.
:. Police followed the marchers
in a patrol car and directed
traffic at the intersections. The
police chief had been" notified
at 10 a.m. that the march would
take place.
The prayer meeting at the
Town Hall lasted no more than
five minutes. The marchers
prayed for the end of racial
discrimination in theaters,' res
taurants, and other public
places.
After the prayers were com
pleted the crowd dispersed.
H. . J. Edwards; head of the
local NAACP which organized
the prayer marches, explained
the purpose of the marches:
"People worked ort this proj
ect who did not . have the op
portunity to picket'. They felt
with the pickets except . by
overlapping membership.
He commented that the Town
Hall was chosen for the prayers
because it had been the only
public building open on Sun
day, and is headquarters for the
city government.
The prayer march concerned
general principles justice,
equality, honesty said the Rev.
Manly, whereas picketing is a
specific function and only per
tains (in this case) to theaters.
Most, if not all, Chapel Hill
ministers both white and black
preached on racial equality
Sunday morning, said the Rev.
Charles Hubbard of the Univer
sity Methodist Church.
He said that no white minis
ters, to his knowledge, were in
volved in the prayer marches.

Durham Judge Throws Out Heyman Assault C
"I agree with you. Case dis
. missed."
With these words, Judge Al
fred R. Wilson tossed out the
assault case against Duke bas
ketball star Art Heyman yester
day in a packed Durham court
room of over 150 people, pho
tographers and newsmen.
Heyman plead not guilty to
the charge of assault which had
been brought by Durham at-
torney Blackwell Brogdcn,
UNC alumnus. Brogdcn alleged
the Heyman had struck Caro
lina cheerleader Albert L. Roper
II of Norfolk, Va., during the
- halftime intermission at the re
. cent Duke-UNC game.
Roper, a member of Delta
Kappa Epsilon, testified that he
and the" UNC cheerleaders were
congratulating the basketball
i player's during halftime as they
' were going' to the dressing
- rooms. " . .
Roper Testifies
He stated that he also patted
the. Duke .players on the back
. as . they went to the dressing
rooms. Roper testified that after
he tapped Heyman, he (Roper)
turned around and it was then

me" he said

Head Cheerleader Tim McCoy,
fraternity brother of Roper, was
lsd subpoenaed to testify as a
witness in the case. McCoy con
firmed Roper's testimony and
idded that as Roper turned
iround Heyman struck him in
'he back of the neck with a
blow that, "sort of glanced off."
Asks Dismissal
Heyman's attorney asked the
judge to dismiss the case on the
grounds that evidence submit
ted indicated that Roper first
touched Heyman and the Duke
star was merely attempting to
"backhand or brush off Roper's
hand."
The attorney also pointed out
that Roper and McCoy were un
willing witnesses and would not
have testified if not subpoenaed.
"Therefore," the attorney con
cluded, "I think that the case
should be dismissed."
The judge leaned back re
flectively and smiled, "I agree
with you."
The entire trial took only
eight minutes. The Heyman trial
was prececded by over an hour
