Troops Reported In Heavy Fighting Katanga Site Of Outbreak ELISABETHVILLE Congo (AP) Heavy fighting is reported to have broken out at Albertville in northern Katanga. There were conflicting reports about who was involved but it appeared some were U.N. troops from the West African Mali Federation, whose own home government is in Congo-like chaos.

Belgian army and air force sources said yesterday the fighting was between Mali troops and Balubakat tribesmen who oppose Premier Moise Thombe of secessionist Katanga Province. The Katanga government, however, blamed the Mali troops for the trouble. It said the Mali troops had mutinied and clashed with the territorial administrators. (In Brussels a Belgian defense ministry spokesman said Belgian still in charge of maintaining order in Albert. ville, have successfully defended the railway station against attacking Congolese.

The Brussels report made no mention of U.N. troops being involved in fighting.) Direct reports were sketchy. Albertville is 400 miles north of this Katanga capital and access is difficult. The U.N command refused to confirm or deny the Katanga government report. Observers here said there was a possibility that Mali troops revolted following the split Sunday of the French Sudan and Senegal, which formed the Mali Federation.

They said it was possible that Balubakat tribesmen took advantage of the Mali soldiers' revolt to instigate an outbreak. Messages being relayed from Albertville along the Belgian army lines of communication said the Mali troops are in a desperate position and are calling for re inforcements. THE U.N, command here was understood to be ready to rush reinforcements to the trouble spot. The Belgians said Mali troops also reported "many dead and wounded 1 but did not say whether the casualities were their own or Balubakat tribesmen. The Belgian army reports said Mali troops opened fire to protect their own lives.

The Katanga government com- munique said that Katanga had demanded the Mali troops be replaced by more disciplined forces of the U.N. command. Meanwhile, in Kasai, Province, bordering Katanga on the north west, a brutal intertribal guerilla war was reported in full fury be- Balube tribes, the traditional to be so ferocious that a mass migration of the populations was taking place. Jerrie Cobb, 29, May Be Astronaut Not Space, But Grasshoppers Scare Her Blonde Thinks Joint Space Flights Due NEW YORK blonde who may become this nation's first spacewoman predicted yesterday that men and women will make space flights together. The view was expressed by Geraldyn M.

(Jerrie) Cobb, 29, of Ponca City, first woman to pass space flight tests at the Lovelace Foundation in Albuquerque, N.M. "Would you object to sharing a space capsule with an astronaut?" asked a male reporter at a news conference. "NO," SHE replied, after a pause. "Miss Cobb, who has logged 7,500 hours in the air since learning to fly at the age of 12, said "Project Mercury is only to get the first man into space flight." But after "Eventually, women will fly into space, whether as passengers or pilots," she said. "As far as I'm concerned, I'll be there." WHY WOULD a woman want to venture into space? "I just think it would be the greatest adventure a pilot could person could," she said.

As the forerunner in a 12- woman testing program at Lovelace, Miss.Cobb said it followed the male astronaut pattern. She seemed to feel that women could handle emotional strains as well as men. noting that the testers deliberately tried to get the trainees to blow up. "They try to make you angry, asking you about something you don't like and telling you that everyone else likes it," she said, "and pretty soon you get mad- but I didn't." SHE WAS asked whether any thing in the tests are frightening or painful. "Well, perhaps a little," she said.

"I've heard many comments that the worst was the neurological examination, where they stick needles in your arms."

Church's Services Spurned Corporation Commissioners yesterd a purned Attorney General Wade Church's services on grounds that Church can neither legally nor ethical- represent them. In a letter to Church, Corporation Comm i i Chairman George F.

Sener Jr. said commission members must have independent counsel to efend them in a lawsuit brought Church to aside commis- ion approval of Arizona Public ervice Company's $5 utility con- ection charge. Noting that Church also proposes a second lawsuit against the commission over recent gas rate adjustments granted Pub- lice Senner said the extra legal expense to the state is regrettable. "You requested that I write you stating the reasons why this commission cannot and will not use members of your staff to defend the commission in these particular matters," Senner told Church. "Our reasons are as follows: "First, since you are the plain- iff in the aforementioned actions which have been prepared by you and members of your staff, it is ibvious that neither you nor any members of your staff could or ethically represent the Arizona Corporation Commission, defendant in the same action.

"SECOND, the commission be- ieves that in order to properly protect the general public, an independent counsel exercising independent objectivity must be employed to represent the Arizona Corporation Commission in the aforementioned actions. "By law, you are required to be our attorney and legal advisor; however, under the present circumstances, It is obvious that this commission must have'an independent counsel for the reasons previously stated. "You have further informed me that your office has no funds with which this commission can retain an attorney, The commission likewise has no funds with which to engage an attorney." Senner's letter added that the attorney general told him by telephone that the commission could hire a lawyer and later submit its bill to the legislature for payment. "If this course of action is correct," Senner wrote Church, "will you please confirm?" Sen.

Goldwater, after a meeting with Nixon, told reporters he told the vice president the selection of Henry Cabot Lodge as Nixon's running mate had helped the Republican cam- paigne. Goldwater had favored Senator Morton (R-Ky). Goldwater called Lodge's nomination "probably the most brilliant stroke by the Republican Party in years." The Arizonan admitted he wouldn't have said that six months ago.

But he said Lodge had "strengthened the ticket ihroughout the country, par- icularly in New England." Goldwater said Lodge has great strength and teams up well with Nixon's strength in the foreign field. He said this is by helicopter.

Kennedy to write a medical care plan into the social security system.

The vote was 51-44. It was a sharp setback for Kennedy and his running mate, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. They had been expected to make social security health benefits a major campaign issue. The vote was a victory for President Eisenhower, who repeatedly has said he would not approve legislation linking a medical care program.to social security.

Shortly after rejecting both Democratic and Republican measures, the senate last night passed bill increasing federal grants toward medical bills (or the needy aged. The measure, which includes a number of liberalizations in the social security law, now goes back to the house for consideration of the senate changes. INCLUDED IN the bill as it cleared the senate was a plan worked out in the senate finance committee to boost federal grants to states to help pay medical expenses of persons on the public assistance relief rolls. Aid also would be available under this program for persons with incomes high enough to keep them off relief but too low to enable them to pay medical bills. The estimated federal cost of this was $200 million a year as it came from the committee.

It had been accepted by the Eisenhower administration although in the past the president had frowned on boosts in federal grants under the public assist- ance programs. Earlier in the afternoon, the big senate Democratic majority snowed under, 67-28, a Republican health insurance protection plan for the elderly supported by Vice President Nixon. The Republican-supported plan was offered by Senator Javits (RNY). The social security version was introduced by Senator Anderson (D-NM). ONLY ONE Republican, Senator Case (NJ), voted for the social security plan.

Forty-three Democrats supported it. Opposed were 19 Democrats, mostly Southerners, and 23 Republicans. (On the Javits plan, Senator Goldwater (R-Ariz) voted for the bill, Senator Hayden (D-Ariz) against. (On the Anderson plan supported by Senator Kennedy, the vote was reversed: Hayden for, Goldwater against.) Kennedy, in his back seat, threw his pencil down on his desk in gust as the result became appar- nt. Senator Scott (R-Pa) said in a tatement dictated to a reporter, This was a vote of no confidence Kennedy's leadership.
