Low-15, TWENTY-FOUR PAGES | , 160 Hostages é | Found Safe 'Hard At Work LEOPOLD VILLE (CP) -- White mercenaries have res- cued from 155 to 160 rebel hos- tages in a cotton-growing region about 260 miles north of Stan- Jeyville, a Belgian embassy spokesman said today. Most of those rescued were Belgians. The report came as the rebels fought back in Stanleyville, the fallen insurgent capital seized a week ago. The airport was closed by rebel fire and most of the city was reported in rebel hands. The hostages were freed at the cotton - growing centres of Dineila and Bambili in the northeastern Congo. First reports said fleeing reb- els had taken two hostages northward when they aband- oned the others. Some of the hostages have already been flown to Leopoldville. Bambili and Dingila are in the heart of a cotton-growing region about 110 miles north- east of Buta, the mercenaries operational base. Almost all those rescued belonged to the Belgian Cotonco Company, the embassy spokesmen said. TO ABOUT 250 He added that the rescue re- duced the number of Belgians still trapped by. the rebels to about 250, although previous re- ports had said 500-1,000 whites remained after the Belgian aratroop rescue mission ended st week. Most of these were said to be Belgians. | Most are believed to have been taken to Watsa, a town close to the Sudanese border. About 80 other Belgians are scattered in isolated settle- ments, the official said. _ 'The Canadian embassy in Leopoldville has listed eight Ca- nadians still unaccounted for in The Congo. Other messages reaching Leo- poldville spoke of the deterior- ation of the situation at Kindu, a former rebel centre which was recaptured by the mercenaries at the beginning of their drive on Stanleyville, 250 miles ing an operation involving 30 mercenaries and 200 Congolese soldiers, Several hundred white hos- tages were believed held in Bu- nia but the government forces found none. It was believed the rebels had taken the hostages farther north to the town of Watsa. Belgian sources meanwhile said a plane which crashed at Stanleyville airport Sunday was shot down by rebel gunfire. But they said it was not cer- tain as to whether the gunfire gian.

AREA TOO BIG Laurent and other officers of his force agreed that the missing whites were scattered over too large an area for them to reach. "The area held by the rebels is so big," said Laurent. "We operated where there was the largest number of whites."

The Pope leaves before dawn Wednesday for the International Eucharistic Congress in Bom- bay. Plans were made for a special program of prayers in the Vatican and in Rome dur- ing the four days of his ab- sence, It will be the longest absence from Italy of any Pope since Pius Vil returned in 1814 after five years in France as a pri- soner of Napoleon. The Vatican newspaper L'Os- servatore Romano said Catho- lics everywhere were asked to pray that the Pope's mission to India may be realized. The Eucharistic Congress is a gathering of Roman Catholic church representatives from around the world. But the trip is a personal gesture of friendship by the spiritual ruler of the Ro- man Catholic church to all the non-Christian peoples of Asia. CAUSES CONTROVERSY The papal visit continued. to generate controversy in pre- dominantly Hindu India, where militant Hindus viewed it as the start of new Catholic conversion efforts. Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri was asked in Parliament Monday if he was aware of re- ports that the Catholic church would use the visit and the Eucharistic Congress to _ in- crease its Indian membership, now about 6,500,000. Storm Rocks East.

Maple Leaf's Debut But She's Tattered -- OTTAWA (CP)--Monday was Technically, it was the first flag recom- mended Oct. 29 by a_ special committee, but it sounded like a replay of a year-old rock-'n'- roll hit record. The same arguments that dominated last summer's inter- mittent debate were restated, but with much less apssion and fire this time. English - speaking Conserva- tives again argued that the mi- nority Liberal government will split the country if it scraps the Red Ensign and replaces it with a new flag, without first con- sulting the public through a na- tional plebiscite. Government supporters re- plied that MPs are elected to decide public issues. They re- peated their contention that a minority in Parliament should not prevent a vote indefinitely. ISN'T MUCH HEAT The only heat of the day was generated in two procedural arguments. Under House rules, committee reports normally come up for Parliament and "handcuff" the Opposition. Mr. Pearson. recalled that Conservative MPs made 117 speeches last summer in 22 days of debate on the govern- ment's original motion for a three-leaf flag. (There were 32 Liberal speeches and 25 by the three small parties.) "These are the people who are now throttled and muz- zled,"" he said in a sarcastic ref- erence to the Conservatives. The procedural argu- ment raged on for more than 30 minutes and then Herman Bat- ten (L--Humber-St. George's), chairman of the 15-member flag committee, moved that the Commons approve the commit- tee's 10-to-4 majority recom- mendation. The question period was wiped out and the process could be repeated every day until the flag debate is concluded or ad- journed. The second procedural fight arose over a draft amendment proposed by former health min- ister J. Waldo Monteith, who was the senior Conservative on the flag committee. He moved that the report be sent back to the committee with instructions that the committee turn in a new report urging a flag plebiscite that would coin- cide with the next federal 'elec: tion. Mr. Pearson, other cabinet members and Social Credit MPs challenged the legality of this amendment. They argued that the flag committee is dead since the House placed a six- week time limit on the commit- tee's deliberations in a motion passed Sept. 10. The Conservatives re- plied that the House can revive the committee and. said their amendment provides for this, The argument continued for nearly an hour and Speaker Alan Macnaughton said he would rule on the question later, probably today. Mr. Monteith accused the Lib- eral members of the committee of breaching their vow of \si- lence by '"'leaking'"' several at- counts io reporters. He denied) published reports that Mr. Dief- enbaker "piped" instructions to the five 'Conservative commit- tee members. Reid Scott, MP for Toronto Danforth and NDP representa- tive on the committee, seconded Mr. Batten's motion. He said the single-leaf flag is a parlia- mentary choice, features the most popular Canadian em- blem, is simple and conforms with heraldic: laws. debate before the daily question period and _ policy announce- ments by cabinet ministers. Opposition Leader Diefenba- ker said this order of business should be reversed during the flag debate to give the Oppo- sition the opportunity to ques- tion ministers on urgent and important matters.

It provides that a UN member more than two years in arrears on its dues shall lose its vote in the assem- bly. Russia's refusal to pay peacekeeping assessments has put her in that category. Fire Out Of Control LUCKNOW, Ont. (CP)--Fire burned out of control today in the main business section of this village 40 miles northwest of Stratford. Three businesses and an em- pty building were ablaze an three fire departments arrived to assist the local fire depart- ment. The Crest Hardware Store, owned by Charles Webster and Donald Mackinnon, was. in flames and Joe Macmillan's butcher shop was already heav- ily. damaged, along with a bar- veal shop owned by Gordon Fis- er. The Repley, Wingham, Tees- water and Lucknow fire depart- ments fought the blaze which broke out shortly after 7 a.m. Firemen hoped to contain the blaze in the four frame build- ings. The adjacent buildings on Campbell Street, the village of about 1,000 persons' main street, are separated by alleys and have fire walls. Firemen have been hampered Reaction Awaited To Russian Stall Informed ources doubted the United States would agree to the brief postponement. They said the United States wants a longer deferral of the matter and also a Soviet commitment to negotiate on future peace- keeping arrangements, PROPOSED SOLUTION Secretary -General U Thant had proposed such a temporary solution providing for the as- sembly to take up only non- controversial matters on which tere was unanimous agree- ment until its Christmas recess. This would permit negotiations until February, when the Christ- mas recess ends. Gromyko rejected Thant's proposal Monday, saying the Soviet Union 'categorically op- poses" postponing important matters on the assembly agenda "for a long period or indef- initely." He said his govern- ment "believes the General As- sembly should start and con- tinue its work in accordance with normal procedures." The Russians have threat- ened to quit the United Nations if they lose their vote in the assembly. They contend that only the Security Council has the power to start and finance peacekeeping operations and that the peacekeeping assess- ments for The Congo and Mid- dle East operations are illegal because they were voted by the General Assembly. ear GM-UAW Talks Continue TORONTO (CP)--Union and company representatives were to continue negotiations today in an attempt to avert a strike Thursday at five General Mo- tors plants in Ontario.
