FLED CONGO
FROM NECESSITY

ARLINGTON, Va. A Ca
tholic missionary priest sta
toned in the Congo has de-
clared that whites who fled
the nation in the wake of
violence did so out of neces-
sity, not panic.
"Those who say that this
flight was simply due to pan
ic are entirely wrong in their
judgement" Father Charles
De Wilde, CI.C.M., provincial
of Scheut Fathers in kasai
province, said.
Father De Wilde, who is
stationed at Luluabourg in
the southern part of the strife
torn country, made the com
ment in a report received at
the Scheut Fathers headquar-
tiers here.
He said the Congolese de
manded immediate surrender
OF weapons. two-way radios
and women" Priests tried
without success TO intervene,
he added.
He said that most of the
nuns from the area where he
was when the violence began
have fled. but most of the
priests remained at their sta
tions.

Pope Points
To Church Unity
As Consolation

VATICAN CITY radio.
NC - The Cburch's unity is
an untold consolation in a
disjointed world. His Holiness
POPE John XIII told thous-
ands Of pilgrims and tourists
IN a general audience.
People are perplexed and
troubled" the Pope said, by
what is happening in the
world. which is not always in
harmony, which is not al
ways q world of uniform
spiritual elevation, but which
is sometimes one of conflict
of ideas, words, acts and
guestures.
YET TO FIND oneself
with the Vicar of Jesus Christ
IN the cordially of the same
Christian family and parent
hood. all belonging to the
Church. arouses great com
fort and untold consolation"
He said the vivid contrast
between the peaceful unity
of papal audiences and the
agltated disunitv of the world
enables the Church to be
more clearly seen as a living
force among men.
He declared that the church
speaks to people of ali ages:
She SAYS to youth Never
be discouraged, the Lord is on
your path; He will help you
10 do the right thing and to
do honor 10 yourselves.
ITO THOSE WHO have
reached maturity she says:
Despite your greater respon.
sib1lities you must not be
perfurbed at all, because the
Lord is with YOU"

The postindependenee dis

in Thysville, a town about

There white men were beaten

by mutinous Congolese troops.

The flight of many whites

rioting Congolese. Native
priests and nuns have been
molested.
Although a number of indi-
vidual mission stations have
been attacked and destroyed,
and some mlssioners rough
ly treated, Catholic missions
in general have not suffered
greatly.
The Congolese government
has shown no hostility toward
the missions. and some Congo
lese have protected mission
aries against attacks.
The disturbances here,
which have brought in Unit
ed Nations troops and have
led to threats of intervention
by the Soviet Union. began
soon after this African nation
won its freedom from Belgium
on June 80. Congolese soldi-
ers mutinied against their
Belgium officers and turned
on the whites. Other Congo
lese joined the mutineers.
Belgian Soldiers were then
flown here to protect lives
and restore order. Later a
United Nations force made

it is impossible to give a COM

situation. The following re-
ports. however, have been re-

Missionary priests and
Brothers are remaining at
Matadi, from which all other
whites have fled. Sisters in
that west Congo city on the
Congo River have boarded
boats which. however, are re-

At Kongolo in the eastern

Nuns from Kisantu, Lemfu,
Ngidinga and Banza Mboma
in Leopoldyille province have
come to the capital at the re-
quest Of Auxiliary Bishop
Kimbondo of Kisantu. Sisters
from Thysyille have also been
brought here. but the Re-
demptorist Fathers are re-
naming there.
Nearly all missionaries in
Kasai province in central
Congo are at their posts. Only
a few elderly nuns have left
to return to Belgium.
AT Kolo, in Leopoldville
province. mutinous troops
have taken over the mission.
The Sisters were able to
escape, but two Redemptorist
\ priests were mistreated be-
fore being sent to Thvsville.
There they were set free by
CASTOR Diomi. an official of
the Leopoldville provincial
government.
Bishop Jean Van Cauwel-

In Equator province several
mission stations have been de-
