I6 Escape When RCMP Cutler Goes Aground

SYDNEY, -— (CP) —- Sixteen men of the RCMP cutter Fort Walsh reached safety Monday at Scatarle Island, N.S., after their vessel ran aground at the height of hurricane Helene.

The Island is off the north east coast of Cape Breton.

The 115-foot former navy fair- mile was first reported badly damaged, but an RCMP marine source in Halifax said the cut- ter 'may have received only minor damage if it ran aground an a gravel beach. He had no details of the grounding.

It was not known how the men reached safety. but a spokes- man said they had apparently managed to make their way to the beach. Communication with Scatarie'was hampered by the Mom.

The cutter was onroute to Halifax from Newfoundland When itagrounded.

RAIRlS (Reuters) — A fliunder- ing avalanche of “yes” votes for Premier Charles de Gaulle’s new constitution has buried France’s 12-yearold Fourth Republic for- ever.

Chiang, said he understood there was apprehension in the West that by helping the Chinese Na- tionalists defend the offshore islands, the United States is run- ning the risk of provoking an ex—

But, he said, the very purpose of a strong defence of Quemoy is to forestall communist aggres- sion deeper into the Formosa Strait and other parts of the Far East.

He said he was asking the Americans for “material and moral support, and such naval and air support as they are giv- ing us today."

American planes and warships have been escorting Nationalist relief convoys from Formosa and the Pescadores to Quemoy, but have stayed beyond range of the Communist shore batteries.

‘Chiang said nothing could be further from the truth than the idea held abroad that the Nation- alists were using Quemoy and Matsu as bases for a counter- attack against the mainland.

“There is a troop buildup on the other side three times as many as we have on Quemoy. No one would suppose we could be so stupid as to try a frontal as- sault on those welquortificd posi-

Under the old Fourth Republic, it was represented in the French National Assembly by three depu- ties and in the upper House by two senvatons.

The French government com- munique told Guinea administra- tive and financial aid will be dropped within two months.

There were few signs in Com alloy Monday of the changes ahead. Sunday’s vote for inde- pendence was carried out in calm and life was continuing normally in the capital.

Nevertheless, the French flag bio/longer flew in front of the pre- mier’s official residence and the law courts were guarded by police instead of the usual Afri- can militiamen.

Guinea was occupied by Fnance in 1890, and its wealth until re- cently came mainly from fruit, notably bananas, and peanuts.

Since the discovery of vast bauxite reserves in the territory, however, large - scale projects have been prepared for the man- ufacture of aluminum which have attracted considerable capital in» vestment. '
