Sunday. Burke's wife, Mrs. Dolena Burke of Calgary and Toronto, was among 14 missionaries ar- riving here with word of the new massacres. She- said she hadino hope that her husband and 12 others held at Bafwas- ende were still alive, although their deaths had not been con- firmed. The survivors also reported that 16 white hostages were feared dead at Banalia, inctud- ing 11 Britons, five of them children, four Belgians and one American woman, ° Banalia is 82 miles north: of Stanleyville, the former rebel capital where hundreds of hos- tages were freed by Belgian paratroopers Nov. 24.

I have no hope they. are still alive," Miss Louise Rimmer, one of the British missionaries agreed with Mrs. Burke. She said those arriving here, who had been freed by the mercenaries Sat- urday,, also were to have beqn. killed.

Mr. Diefenbaker volunteered the remarks without questions from reporters. He said the prime minister's ef . letter to b - Dofion inquiry "has no eq lent in Canadian history." Its reference to pro- cedural difficulties making it impossible for a statement to be made in the House was most improper. : "He must have known htat statement was far removed from the factd of parliamentary life," he added.
