The girl and Alfred Larson of East Islip, N.Y., a missionary of the Unevangelized Field Mission, were among American and European hostages rescued from Congo rebels by Belgian paratroopers and armed forces of the Congo central government. At least 50 whites, including missionaries, were reported massacred by the rebels as rescuing forces were on their way. Before boarding the plane, Mr. Larson, 36, led his wife, daughter and a group of Americans, Britons and Greeks to safety. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-11D-64-NAB)
