Humiliation And Cannibalism' By DAVID REID BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- A Belgian engineer, shivering in tropical/shorts and shirt, landed today on the first planeload of 163 rescued Congo hostages and gave an eye-witness account of Tuesday's Stanley ville mas- eacre, "Stanleyville -- what a night- mare!" engineer Max Debuis- son said as he stepped from the plane with his wife Katie and four-year-old daughter Monica. Many Red Cross workers and airport hostesses wept as the bereaved and bedraggled refu- gees landed. Debuisson said he and his family were in. rebel hands for three months, subjected daily to threats of massacre and even cannibalism. They were sworn at and humiliated. "The last three days were the worst," he said.

HERDED OUTSIDE "Yesterday morning, just be- fore dawn, the rebels came for us and herded us downstairs into the courtyard. We had heard airplanes overhead and prayed that this was deliver- ance, but at the same time I was terrified for (my wife) Ka- tie and little Monnie (Monica) because I feared we. would all be butchered. "A colonel of the rebels said he was marching us out to the plane to "hand us over to the Belgians, That was the first time we learned it was the Bel- gians and not the mercenaries who had come to our aid. "They marched us down the street but 50 yards later or- dered us all to sit down. Then they withdrew a_ short way, turned round and opened up with sub-machine-guns. "It was butchery." "J hurled myself on top of Monnie, and Katie was by my side. I could feel my fingers trying to dig into the concrete as the bullets crashed over us, I heard screams as people went ones left alive.' "1 glanced slightly up as they walked toward us and prayed for a_ miracle," went on. "To my amazement, it hap- pened. Round the corner of the square walked'a single Belgian paratrooper, sub - machine- gun at this hip. "T have neyer been so glad to see the brown and jungle green camouflage that he was wearing in all my life. "Some more followed him, and when they saw what was happening they came across the square shouting and firing from the hip. The rebels turned around and fled, some of them pitching forward as the bullets hit them. "Then it was all over and I was holding Monnie in the dust and crying my eyes out. So was Katie." MOST ARE BELGIANS The plane carried 76 men, 49 women and 38 children. Four were Dutch and the rest Bel- gian. Among them was a forlorn blonde girl, Annie Brinkmans, down. 12.

DISPERSED WITH BAYONETS -- the engineer OTTAWA (CP) -- Two law- yers assigned to study the pos- sibility of charges against Hal Banks told the justice depart- ment last March there wasn't enough evidence in most cases. A letter outlining the legal opinion by J. J..

It be- came available to the press Tuesday. Mr. Robinette, who wrote the letter last March, said the only sound charge against Banks was the one already laid--con- spiracy 'to asasult a rival union leader, He later was convicted on that charge and sentenced to five years but skipped to the United States while on $25,000 bail awaiting appeal. There was another count in- volving violation of the Shipping Act. It, too, was proceeded with.

ISN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE "While the evidence indicates that Banks presided over an organization that characteristic- ally resorted to violence and ally about the use of violence, we are of the view that there is not sufficient evidence to im- plicate Banks and otber senior officials of the SIU in the com- mission of other specifie acts of violence. "Therefore, we recommend that no charges be laid in re- spect of them." Among other things, the two lawyers studied possible charges of intimidation, theft and embezzlement. In the mat- ter of union funds, "Banks had the color of right arising out of the approval of his financial dealings by committees of the union." The Opposition has accused the government repeatedly' of helping Banks flee the country. Conservatives claimed the gov- ernment took care to see that Banks was not convicted on a charge that involved extradi- tion from the U.S. if he fled there, Mr. Favreau has contended, in reply, that no other charges were open to the government, "Anxiety Causes Auto Accidents" LONDON, Ont, (CP)--A Lon- don psychiatrist says persons who cannot tolerate anxiety and have to do something to get it out of their system are highly susceptible to auto accidents, Dr. William Tillman says his observations are based on a six-year study of men who fre- quently were involved in car accidents. He said in a lecture at Bres- cia College here that accidents, mostly involving cars, are the greatest killer of persons under 40 and, next to the common cold, the greatest cause of time lost from work. His study of accident-prone drivers showed that various emotional traits or problems appeared common to almost 50 men who were closely studied during this research, No phys- ical, economic or vocational factors appeared to be shared. If a person resents authority, dislikes women, can't stand anxiety or an unpleasant situ- ation, if he tends to delude -him- self or identify his car with himself, chances are he is likely to have a high accident rate, Dr, Tillman said.
