3 THE REGISTER-NEWS MOUNT VERNON, ILLINOIS FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1967 Congo Soys Mercenaries Driven Back By JOHN SWAELENS BRUSSELS (AP) The Congolese government radio claimed today that the Congo's army has regained control of Bukavu and part of Kisangani i from white mercenary fighters who the Congolese government told the U.N. Security Council were recruited by "an international Mafia." The claim by Radio Kinshasa, in the Congolese capital, was layed by the Belgian Radio. Kisangani, formerly Stanleyville, and Bukavu, chief city in Kivu Province, were the two points at which Congolese Pres- Joseph Mobutu claimed mercenaries attacked earlier this week. The 15-nation U.N. Security Council scheduled another meet- big this cLftemoon to consider Congolese Ambassador Theodore Idzumbuir's plea that it urge member states to ban recruitment of mercenaries for an alleged plot to overthrow Mobu- tq.

Heavy fighting was reported fn eastern Kivu Province. Congolese military sources in the area said tliree army battalions on Thursday had surrounded 200 white mercenaiies who had seized control of the post office and radio station in Bukavu, on the Congo's east central boi-der north of Kanta Province, former stronghold of ex-Premier Moise Tshombe. is widely believed that the mercenai'ies are acting on behalf of Tshombe, who was naped on a flight in the Balearic Islands last week and taken to Algeria, Mobutu's government in seeking his extradition so it can execute him on a treason charge, having convicted him in absentia. The U.S. government began evacuating Americans from kavu and proclaimed support for Mobutu's government.

State Departnient press officer Robert J. McQoskey said 46 of the 65 American citizeni Ip the Bukavu area, including 21 children, have been moved into neighboring Rwanda. He said ibe rest of the Americans, mainly missionaries, were proceeding to Rwanda in separate groups. A small U.S. consular staff is staying on at Bukavu.

A search was being made for the other six. Two of the eight-engine 58 million planes, which bomb ene- positions in South Vietnam unseen from 30,000 to altitudes, collided and crashed northwest of the Philippines on June 18, 1965, en route to the first B52 raid on South Vietnam. That was the only other B52 loss reported in the more than 10,000 sorties the Stratofor- tresses have flown against targets in South Vietnam.

The E52 crash was the Air Force's second in three days. A Stratoforti-ess which tlie Air Force said was on a training mission fell into the sea and exploded Wednesday about half a mile north of Puerto Rico. Three crewmen were rescued and four are still missing. 9 Kaids Thursday The two which collided today were on their way to bomb targets in South Vietnam, with each probably carrying about 50,000 pounds of bombs. B52s mounted nine raids Thui-sday, a record for a 24-hour period.

The raids were aimed primarily at the A Shau valley area on the Laotian border due west of DA Nang. The valley is a hotbed of enemy strongholds and infiltration routes. The B52s returned to the A Shau area Thursday night. The planes, which have a range of 7,000 miles and can fly at 650 miles an hour, attack fi-om bases in Guam and Thailand, but the U.S. Command in Saigon does not disclose where specific flights begin.

The command said one of the planes was originally from the 22nd Bomb Wing at March Air Force Base, and the other was from the 464th Bomb Wing at Columbus, Miss. B52s are assigned for Vietnam duty from the United States on a rotation basis. Clark Issues Bugging Rules WASHINGTON (AP) Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark, backing President Johnson's call for a ban on police bugging and electronic snooping except in national security cases, has set stiff new guidelines for federal agencies.

Clark's main point in a lengthy set of instructions issued to federal law enforcement agencies since June 16 requires that they get advance written approval from him before undertaking electronic surveillance. The only exception to that rule, Clark wrote, would be when an emergency situation arises involving national security and he cannot be reached immediately. In that case, said the attorney general, electronic snooping can be authorized by the head of the investigatory agency involved on condition that Qark receives a full explanation within 24 hours. He said in such emergency cases, conversations overheard should be recorded if possible on tapes. He said the tapes or other types of transcripts should be considered specially classified by the agency and kept secret from other agency person-! nel.
