Title: Mission workers flee Congo terrorists.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30541 MISSION WORKERS FLEE CONGO TERRORISTS LEOPOLDVILLE, Congo -- Roman Catholic nuns and children of Protestant missionaries are evacuated to safety after more than a week of terror in the Kwilu Province of the Congo. Rampaging anti-government guerillas destroyed mission stations and killed at least four missionaries -- three Roman Catholic priests from Belgium and a Baptist from the U.S., Miss Irene Ferrel, 42, of Jerome, Idaho. Evacuation operations utilizing helicopters, light planes and commercial liners, were maintained around the clock to rescue the estimated 150 missionaries and their families from the besieged area. American youngsters and Belgian nuns, Sisters of the Congregation of the Holy Family, are shown here arriving at Leopoldville.
