This dispatch tells of the final approach to The Congo city. By ROBIN MANNOCK STANLEY VILLE (AP) -- White mercenaries who led the ground attack on Stanleyville were held back at the last minute to per mit Congolese troops to enter the rebel capital first, The first of 300 fight-for-pay soldiers led by South African Michael Hoare, a fonmer Brit- ish officer, met almost no op- position in the final drive to- ward Stanleyville. The final as- sault began from Kindu, 250 air miles south, last Thursday. The mercenaries, mostly Brit- ons, South Africans and Bel- gians, found desolation born of fear. Dozens of bush hamlets -- ad route were totally In one day's driving, Monday, only. five humans were spotted outside the column, Four aged men and a near - naked old woman grubbed around a pile of rubbish by the mud walls of a hut. The mercenaries knew they were not alone. They often found cooking pots with fresh food hanging over smouldering fires, Always there was the feeling that eyes were watching from the jungle. DISCOVER WEAPONS Feathered war bonnets, abandoned spears, bows and ar: rows and ammunition for auto- matic rifles were discovered. One captured rebel truck car- ried a Chinese 60mm rifle. The spearhead drove through on its 50 - vehicle convoy, but their homes usually cheered the passing mercenaries. The column bristled with automatic weapons. The mer- cenaries poked Belgian rifles and sub-«machine-guns over the sides of. new American trucks airlifted to the northern Congo for the offensive. SUPPORTED BY PLANES A helicopter and strike planes zoomed over the column, piloted by Belgians, Cubans and South Africans, The helicopter was there to whisk away wounded and the planes strafed every- thing that moved in front of the advance.

President Diosdado Macapa- gal toured stricken Mindano Island in the southeast today and called the typhoon "the most: devastating calamity in the Philippines in a long time." Earlier the president had de- clared a state of calamity in Durigao de Norte province, where 312 persons were killed, on the basis of reports from a team of cabinet members. many rebels remained. Some hid for their lives and were flushed out by local villagers or Congolese soldiers following the mercenaries. They could hope for little mercy. Others harried the government's supply lines, am- pushing unescorted trucks.

One stop revealed a bearded man and a 12-year-old boy dead near a hospital, The boy wore a war bonnet of feathers and monkey skin-- magic relics which the rebels believed would turn bullets to water, The bonnet showed the boy belonged to the "jeunesse,"' young irregular fighters re- cruited by the rebels. Many are only 8 to 10 years old but they proved to be ruthless and sadis- tic fighters. Children at Kindu amused themselves by inventing ways of killing groups of Europeans.

( MEXICO CITY (AP)--A new the driving distance Stalemated By Bishops gan bishop for the Anglican diocese of Niagara, ended in a deadlock Tuesday when no can- didate emerged with a clear majority after four ballots. Rt. Rev. Walter E. Bagnall, Bishop of Niagara, suspended the synod for an indefinite pe- riod after six hours of voting. He said he felt it would not be proper to hold a fifth ballot because delegates would be picking the suffragan bishop un- der the strain of immediacy. Officials of the church said they were unable to find a prec- edent for a deadlocked vote in church history. A total of 140 clerical and 400 Hilay delegates to the synod did not give a clear majority on the fourth ballot to either Very Rev. H. R, Bagnall of Hamil- ton or Rev. Canon Michael Creal, head of the general board of religious education of Tor- onto. Nearly 20 names were on the first ballot. It was reported that Dean Bagnall had the majority of clergy votes while Canon Creal fhad the support of lay dele- gates. Dean Bagnall is no relation to the Niagara bishop.
