Congo: Hammarskjold is increasingly worried over the
possibility of incidents in connection with the arrival of the
Indian UN contingent, whose first units are to fly into Leopold-
ville on 16 March. He told American officials on 13 March
that it was of great political importance that the Indian opera-
tion be carried out, in view of the heavy prestige commitment
of Nehru and the Indian military.
he also recognizes that the
Congolese hostility toward the UN results from the Congolese
belief that the 21 February Security Council resolution author-
izes the disarmament of the Congolese army and the imposition
of UN trusteeship. He apparently feels that this attitude, rein-
forced by the anti-Asian feelings connected with Dayal, might
focus on the Indian troops. Hammarskjold also believes, al-
though he admits he has no specific evidence, that the recent
military incidents in the Congo and the outcome of the Tanana-
rive conference resulted from a Belgian-inspired plan to build
up a political and military basis of resistance to the UN
