Paratroops Rout Congo Rebels

LEOPOLDVILLE (W) - Belgian
paratroops flown in U.S. planes
Joined Congo troops in capturing
Stanleyville yesterday from Com-
munist-backed Congolese rebels
but failed by minutes to prevent
a massacre of foreign hostages.
Among those reported slain was
Dr. Paul Carlson, medical mis-
sionary from Rolling Hills, Calif.,
originally marked for execution
by the rebel high command and
then used as a pawn in far-reach-
ing negotiations.
U.S. official reports said Carl-
son and Phyllis Rine, a mission-
ary from Cincinnati, were among
15 persons mowed down by ma-,
chine gun fire in Lumumba Square
of the rebel capital when rescue
was near.
50 or More
In Brussels, Belgian Foreign
Minister Paul Henri Spaak first
said he was informed that at least
50 non-Africans had been killed.
fte told a news, conference later

the number definitely reported
killed was 18.
The paratroop drive was made
at the invitation of Congo Pre-
mier Moise Tshombe. African cap-
itals leaning toward the rebels
were quick to deplore the U.S.-!

self was in the square and report-
ed only the timely arrival of Bel-
gian paratroopers rushing in from
the airport staved off a general
massacre. Four others of his staff.
were safe, but attache Donald
Parkes was badly beaten by the
rebel soldiers. Hoyt also was beat-
en.
Congolese
An hour after the paratroopers
struck in the gray pre-dawn of 5
a.m., the Congolese army led by
white officers drove into the city
from the south.
Refugees flown back from the
northern capital, many of them
blood-stained and in a state of
shock, told of the massacre which
happened only minutes before Bel-
gian paratroops could reach them.
Circling Planes
More than 250 hostages held in
the Victoria Hotel were herded in-
to Stanleyville's main street at the
first sound of U.S. planes circl-
ing overhead. They were forced
to sit in the gutter of Lumumba
Square while rebel troops guardeg
them.
The rebels opened fire when
shooting was heard at the airport.
"It was wild shooting with wom-
en and children as likely to be hit
as anyone," said one refugee.
Spaak said that 40 other host-
ages were wounded in the massa-
cre in Lumumba Square.
Rebel Youth
"Other jeunesse (rebel youth
soldiers) put 200 whites in a ho-
tel and shot them when the para-
troopers etnered the town," he
told the Belgian Parliament. "I
don't know the exact number of
victims, but it will amount to at
least 50."
Other foreigners were shot
down when they left their resi-
dences and ran toward the air-
port when they heard of the ar-

the maneuver, designed to capture the city from Communists
and free foreign hostages.

Detail Plans'
For Attack
Ont Poverty
JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (A)-The
Johnson administration gave its
"War on Poverty" program its
first big shot in the arm yester-
day by approving 120 projects
costing about $35 million.
It was described as the launch-
ing of the anti-poverty campaign's
"first major assault on ignor-
ance, want and deprivation on six
different fronts . .."
Sargent Shriver, director of the
Office of Economic Opportunity,
as the anti-poverty program is
formally known, announced the
list of approved projects at a news
conference in Austin following a
two-hour conference with Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson.
32 StatesG
The projects are located in 32
states in every section of the
country and vary in size and scope.
Of the $35 million cost, the fed-
eral government will put up about
$32 million. The remainder of the
money will come from localities
sponsoring anti-poverty programs.
The largest single money allo-
cation of $15 million will be used
to, build and refurbish job corps
centers, 41 of which had been ap-
proved earlier but were included
in today's over-all total of ap-
proved projects.
Basic Education
These centers will provide young
men 16 to 21 with basic education,
job skills and work experience in
conservation centers.
Four projects costing about $1.2
million were also approved in an
effort to help unemployed parents
equip themselves for work. These
projects will be in Pittsburgh, At-
lanta, Craven County, N.C., and
Yell County, Ark.
Some of the largest individual
grants included $2.8 million for a
community action program in De-
troit and $2.7 million for a similar
project in Los Angeles.

LONDON (M)-Prime Minister
Harold Wilson intends linking
his project for an allied nuclear
force with a new Western bid to
end the world arms race, British
officials reported yesterday.
At the heart of the British lead-
er's disarmament policy are pro-,
posals seeking urgently to stopj

The Soviets have stressed re-
peatedly that if a multilateral
force comes into being it would
kill all prospect of a treaty to stop
the spread of nuclear arms.
In this light Wilson has listed
three potential areas of possible
agreement with Russia in arms

United States, should include Bri-

gian accounts said.
The Belgian paratroops secured
the airport in less than five min-
nutes. They used vehicles brought
with them and those they com-
mandeered to speed into the city.
'Spy'
Carlson was sentenced to death
as a "spy" and a "major" in the
U.S. armed forces. Washington de-
nied the charges but he became
a pawn in last minute negotiations
demanded by rebel chief Christo-
phe Gbenye.
At least 20 wounded, including
one paratrooper and five women,
were flown to Leopoldville along
with many white refugees.
Hoyt told a news conference in
the U.S. ambassador's residence
that he and the other consular
officials were beaten by the reb-
els.

said. "The worst beating was the
day they came to the consulate
and forced us to break into the
strongroom and made us eat the
flag. We were chewing on it but it
was pretty durable."

idly by when aggression is being
committed against their brother-

"Nor will they allow U.S. im-
perialism to ride rough-shod in
Indo-China," Chou said in a mes-
sage to "the international confer-
ence for solidarity with the Viet-
namese people, against U.S. im-
perialist aggression and for the
defense of peace," opening in Ha-
noi.
"Should U.S. imperialism braz-
enly embark on the dangerous
course of further extending the
war in Indochina, it will only
end up in a total and disgraceful
fiasco," Chou's message said.

Commons Monday.
He said he thinks the alliance

Britain's contribution would be
unconditional in the sense that
London would give up all rights
to withdraw its nuclear-strike
forces. But in return for the phas-
ing out of Britain's independent
nuclear role, Wilson wants Amer--
icans to join in a new Washing-
ton-based allied high command
where nuclear weapons policy
could be evolved collectively by
the allies.

HUBERT HUMPHREY

Predict Boost
In Federal Aid
For Education
NEW YORK (R) -- President
Lyndon B. Johnson will present
Congress a huge program of fed-
eral aid to education in January,
Vice-President-elect Hubert Hum-
phrey said last night.
The President has given im-
provement of the nation's schools
top priority as the foundation of
his "great society," Humphrey
said in a speech prepared for an
American Jewish committee din-
ner.
Humphrey said the program will
leave control of education with lo-
cal authorities, but will provide
federal assistance to:
-Help build 400,000 new public
school classrooms and hire 800,000
new teachers over the next five
years, plus raising teachers' pay.
-Concentrate teachers in urban
slums and poor rural areas.
-"Expand and enrich" colleges
and help adult education pro-
grams.
"The appropriate federal role,"
Humphrey said, "is to help identi-,
fy broad national goals in edu-
cation and to assist our local au-
-thorities in reaching those goals.
But it is essential to retain local
control and direction of educa-
tion."
Noting forecasts of huge enroll-
ment increases in the next five
years, Humphrey said "expendi-
tures for education must be in-
creased at all levels of govern-
ment to accommodate this rising
tide of people seeking high school
and college education."

i

He said Carlson and the five
U.S. officials were taken before
the Lumumba monument last
Wednesday for a mock trial. A
large crowd had gathered and it
was addressed by Gbenye and reb-
el Gen. Nicholas Olenga. Gbenye
then ordered the Americans back
to their prison.
"We were beaten twice in pris-
on and 10 times altogether in the
