BRUSSELS, Aug. 7 — Belgium and the United States are ready to increase technical aid to shore up Premier Moise Tshombe's Government in the Congo, but neither country will provide military personnel for combat, informed sources indicated here tonight. W. Averell Harriman, United States Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, arrived here from Washington today and conferred for five hours with Belgium's Foreign Minister, Paul‐Henri Speak. They refused to comment later on their discussions beyond saying that they had had a “useful exchange of views.” A Belgian official said the visit of Mr. Harriman had been initiated by the State Department after Premier Tshombe had requested more United States aid to combat Communist‐guided rebels in the Congo. Other sources disclosed that Mr. Harriman and Mr. Spaak had apparently reached a working agreement on a program under which the United States would provide materiel to the Tshombe Government and Belgium would supply experts to teach the Congolese troops how to use it. Mr. Spaak emphasized that no Belgian would be authorized to engage directly or indirectly in combat in the Congo. [In Leopoldville, however, it was reported that the United States was urging Belgium to permit about 100 of her troops now in the Congo to lead Congolese forces in battle.]
