...most dramatic part of the plan was a request to the U.S. to send additional military equipment to the U.N. Congo force. The U.S. responded last week by naming Lieut. General Louis W. Truman, 54, a bantam, 150-lb. West Pointer (and second cousin of Harry S Truman) as head of an eight-man mission to weigh the U.N.'s arms needs.
