Title: Missionary sentenced to death in Congo.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31830 MISSIONARY SENTENCED TO DEATH IN CONGO NEW YORK -- Dr. Paul Carlson, an American Protestant medical missionary, has been sentenced to death by the rebel Stanleyville government on charges of spying for the Congo central government. He is shown here during the summer of 1964 presenting corn and eggs to a native in a Congo village. At right is another American missionary, Dr. Philip Littleford of Baltimore. Dr. Carlson, 36, comes from Rolling Hills, Cal., and has been serving in the Congo under the Evangelical Covenant Church of America. Both the State Department and the Pentagon have denied that he has any military connection. Secretary of State Dean Rusk appealed to Premier Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya to do all he can to halt the threatened execution. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-11C-64-NAB)

Title: Congo medical missionary reported dead.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31851 CONGO MEDICAL MISSIONARY REPORTED DEAD LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo -- Refugees escaping from rebel-held territory in the Congo reported that Dr. Paul Carlson (right), shown here in a happier moment, had been put to death. The medical missionary, serving under the Evangelical Covenant Church of America, was captured when he refused to leave his hospital in the northern Congo. His wife (right) and children, Wayne, 9, and Lynette, 6, (in the foreground) reached safety. The doctor’s threatened execution, after being charged as a spy by rebels, was delayed for one week after the U.S. State Department and churchmen in America urged Kenya Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta, as chairman of a Special Organization of African Unity Committee, to intervene in his behalf. The Carlson family is shown here with Philip Littleford of Baltimore, Md., a medical student in Africa on a fellowship, and Joann LeVahn of Minneapolis, Minn., a staff nurse at the mission hospital.
