For the Record

Buried, in the press: a demand by prominent American Negro leaders that the United States withdraw all support from the government of Moise Tshombe.-The demand, signed by Martin Luther King Jr., James Farmer, Whitney Young Jr., Roy Wilkins, A. Philip Randolph and Dorothy Height (Pres. of the National Council of Negro Women), reached Pres. Johnson just twelve hours before the paratroop drop in Stanleyville. . . . Timing of the drop, according to European press, was decided when a message from rebel General Nicholas Olenga to his troops ordering the massacre of all whites was intercepted. . . . It’s now estimated that between 7,000 and 20,000 Congolese have been killed by Communist-led troops in the bloodbath of recent weeks in the Congo. . . . The Chinese mastermind of the big-scale Peking operation in central Africa is believed to be Ho Ying, the Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania. . . . Although the Egyptian Government has duly apologized for the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo last week, the apology has not been published in the Cairo press.

Near-final count indicates the Republican Party lost 541 seats in the various state legislatures on Nov. 3. . . . The New York State Republican Party reports it spent $615,000 on the Goldwater-Miller campaign—as compared to $3.5 million in the Nixon-Lodge campaign. . . .
