Slain missionary honored.
Text transcribed from caption: PC-31861 SLAIN MISSIONARY HONORED LEOPOLDVILLE -- A U.S. flag is draped around body of Dr. Paul Carlson, American medical missionary, slain by Congo rebels in a street massacre at Stanleyville that took at least 50 white lives. Standing at attention as the body arrived in Leopoldville is U.S. Ambassador G. McMurtrie Godley (in light suit). Next to him is Belgian Envoy Charles Kerchove (dark suit). Dr. Carlson was among some 100 men, women and children herded into the street by the rebels and shot at as Belgian paratroopers neared in an attempt to liberate the hostages.
