CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN
19 September 1961
DAILY BRIEF
*Congo: Hammarskjold's death further reduces the
prospects for an agreement in the near future to reintegrate
Katanga into the Congo. Tshombe is quoted as having told
a news conference in Northern Rhodesia yesterday that he
was returning to Katanga to lead a "fight to the end" against
UN troops. Tshombe said he was willing to discuss a peace-
ful solution with UN representatives and "will talk with any-
body of good faith," but not with O'Brien, the chief UN repre
sentative in Katanga. A UN spokesman in Leopoldville said
that a high UN official would be detailed to contact Tshombe,
but also stated that Hammarskjold's death will not mean any
change in UN policy in Katanga.
Attacks on UN positions continued through yesterday,
and reports indicate the fighting has now spread to several
localities in northern Katanga. The Irish unit which had been
beseiged at Jadotville has surrendered, and several uncon-
firmed press stories indicate that the UN base at Kamina may
have fallen to Katangan forces. /
