Messages from the eastern Congo city said soldiers had fought with the rebels only about nine miles to the south and there was anxiety that the marauding warriors might shortly capture the city. Stanleyville's fall to the rebels, backed by the Chinese Communists, would effectively cut off the entire northeastern Congo and provide a capital for the "popular republic of the Congo" proclaimed recently by rebel leader Gaston Emile Soumialot. CHAMP AGNOLE, France (AP) The first of nine miners trapped since July 27 in a limestone mine was brought safely to the surface today. CHAMPAGNOLE, France (UPI) Rescue workers broke through today into the cavern where nine cheering, singing miners had been trapped for eight days by a cave-in. An emergency shaft 260 feet deep reached the miners at 4:55 a.m.

(Vancouver time), eight days and 45 minutes after they were caught underground by the collapse of a limestone mine shaft in Mount Rivel. "We've won," shouted Andre Martinet, foreman in charge of the rescue operation, as the drill broke through the final crust of rock into the cavern where he and the other entombed men were waiting.

Bennett, here for the premiers' conference, said he agreed with the view of the recently-fired Alberta provincial treasurer, E. W.

Hinman, that a government "near-bank" could result in political favors. NO FAVORS The premier acknowledged the danger of political partisanship in near-banks, but said it will not dissuade him. an escape capsule within a few hours. They had been in communication with their rescuers over an emergency telephone line for days, and they were in good condition despite the ordeal. The fate of five others trapped by the same cave-in was uncertain.

Little hope was held that they were still alive in another part of the mine. As the drilling rig was lifted from the emergency shaft the trapped men were able to see daylight for the first time. Their cheers mingled with the shouts of the engineers peering over the edge of the shaft at the surface. CAPSULE RIGGED Immediately after the breakthrough, engineers began assembling cables and winches to carry an escape capsule in which the nine will be brought to the surface. The capsule was trucked up the hillside to the shaft head about an hour before the breakthrough.

None of the families of the entombed men were waiting at the mine head when the breakthrough came. By previous arrangement, they were gathered at the Champagnole hospital. AP Wlrephoto JASPER, Alta. Prime Minister Lester Pearson's Maple Leaf flag Monday flew over the heads of Canadian premiers meeting here. The banner was hoisted atop a 75-foot flagpole only a few feet from Confederation Room, where the meetings are held.

(Hinman, fired by Premier E. C. Manning because of connections with private business, said if two applicants were bidding for a loan from a near-bank, such as the Alberta treasury branch, the loan would be granted to the applicant friendly to the government.) LARGER VENTURE Bennett said if he is forced into near-banking, his venture will be larger than Alberta's. He said he would rather have a chartered bank immediately under the Federal Bank Act, said Bennett, "under the complete control of the federal government and the inspector of banks." The Senate banking committee has delayed decision on the premier's application last month for a Bank of B.C. The premier said he still is confident he will get a federal charter.

His theory appears to be that Ottawa would sooner grant him a charter under its control, than have him establish a large financial institution without its jurisdiction.

LAST STBAW The PT boat attack by North Viet Nam on the U.S. destroyer Maddox was just about the last straw for President Johnson.

From what he told reporters Monday, it now Is clear that if anything similar happens again the U.S. not only will shoot back, but will shoot back to destroy the attacker and, probably, pursue the attacker even into North Viet Nam If necessary. This is a significant change in VS. policy in this area. Heretofore, the U.S.

has generally confined itself to defence and has refused hot pursuit, although this has been strongly advocated by many in the Pentagon, and is urged by most Republicans, including Goldwater.

To conform with the treaty, "The Amercans should do something about this to save face," Gen. Khanh said. The United States has not had a president in decades who is so sensitive about saving face as is President Johnson.

He reportedly is distinctly unhappy at having to confine U.S. reaction in this incident to mere angry words of pio-test, plus orders to destroy attackers the next time. HOT PURSUIT The Johnson inclination is in favor of hot pursuit but in this matter he was held in check by strong state department urging to do it next time, but not now. U.S. action in the Laos-Viet Nam area inevitably will toughen.
