In the full tide of its editorial wisdom the newspaper "The New York Daily News," suggested that the U.S. airmen who were brutally beaten by a mob of Congolese soldiers and civilians at the Stanleyville airport should have been armed, if only with side arms. Since there were eight Americans and hundreds of Congolese, this would have insured the massacre of the entire transport plane Globemaster crew. Recently the U.S. Army Chemical Corps staged a series of lectures and demonstrations for newsmen at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, aimed at removing prejudices against chemical and biological warfare.
