Title: Resigns under pressure.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29743 RESIGNS UNDER PRESSURE BRAZZAVILLE -- President Fulbert Youlou, head of the Congo Republic, resigned his office as tension mounted in his capital at Brazzaville. A suspended priest, he is shown in clerical robes in 1959 as he left a conference in Elysee Palace in Paris. Before his election, Youlou was a parish priest who was forbidden to say Mass because of his political activity. After riots in Brazzaville subsided, Sime Matsika, a labor leader, began to emerge as a strong man -- some sources said he was a dedicated leftist trained in Peking. A provisional government was being maintained by the Congolese Army, a native force commanded by Lt. Col. Rene Jean of the French Army. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-BR-8C-63-RB)
