Whole day in Security Council, debating Congo. The U.S.S.R. backs Casablanca formula; release of Lumumba and reconvening of parliament, which means restoration of Lumumba to power. Hammarskjold proposes disarming all Congolese troops, an adventurous gamble.
Lunch with Dick Hottelet of CBS. He is all for Adlai Stevenson. We talked about Congo and colonialism.
