CONGO REBELS (Continued from Page One) stricken throng. “A Real Massacre” Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak said 15 hostages were killed and 40 wounded in the Lumumba Square incident. A Belgian who survived the indiscriminate firing in the square called it "a real massacre." Congo President Moise Tshombe claimed Stanleyville was recaptured by 5 a.m. (11 p.m. EST Monday). More than 1,600 foreign hostages from 11 nations were in rebel hands in and around Stanleyville when the daring paratrooper operation began. The State Department in Washington said almost all of the 29 Americans in the Stanleyville area were accounted for and safe. Ano’her 30 Americans were elsewhere in Congo rebel-controlled areas. At least 10 of these Americans and 134 Belgians were rescued by Congolese national army forces in a Separate action at Ateki, northwest of Stanleyville. About 350 hostages were reported evacuated from Stanleyville to Leopoldville aboard U.S. Air Force planes. Another 350 were expected to be evacuated before the end of the day. The atrocity killings in Stanleyville’s Lumumba Square took place within sight of Belgian paratroops rushing to liberate the white hostages. The daring airlift was partly successful, ferrying 100 hostages to Leopoldville in the first flight. About 20 of those saved on the first rescue plane were wounded. The shooting of the hostages followed a night of rape and terror for Stanleyville’s 1,000 whites, including 29 Americans. Details of the wanton shooting by he rebels, were disclosed by refugees reaching Leopoldville. The U.S. Embassy in Leopoldville reported that it understood Dr. Carlson was among a large group of Americans and Belgians shot in Lumumba Square — named for the late Premier Patrice Lumumba, a leftist leader who was murdered after the Congo won independence.

WARREN REPORT (Conuuucd from Page One) Marina Oswald told the commission her husband admitted after the fact that he had fired a shot, which missed, at Walker in April, 1963. Neither of them apparently ever told anybody else. Not until after the assassination of President Kennedy did authorities find out that Oswald, nearly 10 months before, had thus signaled his willingness to kill. Saw Gun Amos Lee Euins was one of three persons who actually saw the gun which fired the bullets which killed Kennedy. He told the commission he was looking at the Texas School Book Depository Building (where Oswald worked) as the President’s motorcade was going by. He said: "I seen this pipe thing sticking out the window. I wasn’t paying too much attention to it." If a Dallas policeman. or a Secret Serviceman, had seen it . . . Or, if Lee Harvey Oswald had never gone to work for the school book firm ... it was one of the few jobs in the assassin's life that he had managed to hold for more than a few months. He had never been a success at anything before. A moment before Oswald fired, Mrs. Connally riding beside her husband on the jump seats in front of the Kennedys, had remarked to the President, “you certainly can’t say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome.” Recalls Remark As Mrs. Kennedy recalled it later before the commission, the President said something to the effect that "No, you certainly can't.” Show Film Sunday At Pleasant Mills The film. "Beloved Enemy,” will be shown Sunday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the Pleasant Milh Baptist church. The public is invited to attend.

"Then suddenly Governor Connally was yelling, ’Oh, no, ho, no, no,’" she testified. Mrs. Kennedy turned toward her husband. She saw “a piece of his skull, and I remember it was flesh colored.” He raised a hand to his head "and fell in my lap,” Everyone has seen those photographs of Mrs. Kennedy helping a Secret Service man to crawl into the car from the rear. She has seen them, too, but "I don’t remember that at all." Mrs. Johnson, riding with he husband in tht second car behind the President's, recalled hearing the shots and a radio order to "get out of here.” At the hospital she saw Jackie standing all alone. Her dress “was stained with blood. Her right glove—that immaculate woman — it was caked with blood, her husband’s blood.” Hustled to Plane At the hospital someone addressed Lyndon Johnson as “Mr. President." The Secret Service and others hustled the Johnsons, by separate cars, to the air field where the presidential plane waited. Nobody knew whether the assassin had other victims in mind. But Johnson refused to leave until Mrs. Kennedy and the body of her husband were aboard. There followed, on the advice telephoned from Washington by Robert F. Kennedy, the oath taking ceremony aboard the plane before takeoff. Mrs. Kennedy, her hair hanging down over her „face and her husband’s blood hardly dry on her clothes, stood beside the new President. In a letter to the Warren Commission later, President Johnson said of his predecessor’s beloved Jackie: "I shall never forget her bravery, nobility, and dignity.”
