15. Article entered in the Congressional Record by Senator Thomas Dodd (September 13,<br />

1961). <strong>The</strong> Communist record of Gizenga, Adoula's vice-premier, was so well known that<br />

it embarrassed western supporters of the regime. As his pro-Communist bias became<br />

more and more difficult to conceal, it was decided to "arrest" Gizenga as proof of the<br />

central government's anti-Communism. Supporters of UN policy in the non-Communist<br />

world received much mileage from this maneuver. What most people were not allowed to<br />

learn, however, was that Gizenga was quietly set free soon afterward. According to<br />

Philippa Schuyler, his "prison" was a comfortable villa by the sea. Even Adlai Stevenson<br />

refrained from saying that Gizenga was in jail. In an article distributed by the UN<br />

association in Los Angeles, he is quoted as saying that Gizenga had been under "house<br />

arrest." See "Stevenson Answers Critics on Congo," Los Angeles Times (February 10,<br />

1963).<br />

16. "Adoula Receives Royal Welcome," the Tablet (Brooklyn, February 17, 1962). As this<br />

book is going to press, the elections in the Congo are nearing. Since the basic sentiments<br />

of the masses of Congolese people (as distinguished from many of their leaders) are anti-<br />

Soviet, the Adoula regime has recently put on a rather convincing show of anti-<br />

Communism in its public pronouncements. It has even expelled the Communist<br />

embassies from Leopoldville. Whether or not this appearance of anti-Communism will be<br />

dropped after the elections or whether it represents a true stiffening of Adoula's political<br />

backbone, will remain to be seen.<br />

18. Department of State press release #893 (December 19, 1961).<br />

19. Department of State Bulletin (February 26, 1962), p. 335. Shortly after the<br />

assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, President Johnson addressed the General<br />

Assembly of the United Nations and confirmed that the change in chief executives had in<br />

no way altered the official United States attitude toward the UN. President Johnson said,<br />

"More than ever we support the United Nations. . . ." <strong>The</strong> only noticeable difference was<br />

that the-New England twang had been replaced by a Texas drawl. See "Text of Johnson's<br />

Speech to UN," Los Angeles Times (December 18, 1963), sec. 4, p. 2.
