ON PATROL ON THE CONGO RIVER.—A Congolese Army patrol boat in Leopoldville on May 7. The boat is one of a number which have been on duty on the river night and day since Leopoldville and neighbouring Brazzaville, in the former French Congo, closed their harbours after President Youlou's stronglyworded speech against the Leopoldville central government over the arrest of the Katanga President, Mr Moise Tshombe. River traffic between the two capitals was brought to a standstill. The patrol boats were put on round-the-clock duty for security reasons.
