A 15 piece set of musical in- struments sufficient to equip a bugle band was presented last evening to the local Sea Cadet Corps, RCSCC "Kent” during their weekly drill period..

The presentation was made, on behalf of the donors, the Char- lottetown Branch of the Naval Of- ficers Association of Canada, by the President, ‘Lt. - Cmdr. W.F. Duffy, RCN (R) (Retired).

For the occasion the boys were assembled on the Parade Deck of H.M.C.S. “Queen Charlotte" for divisions at 7:00 p.m.

Lt. - Cmdr. Duffy addressing the cadets told them that the Naval Association has been spon- soring the corps for a number of years and that their last drive had enabled the Association to buy bugles and drums for the corps. He said, “Everyone can- not be in the band but we do hope that the addition of the band will build a bigger and better corps.”

At the close of the presentation Lieut. J .D. Smallwood, Command- ing Officer, thanked Lt. Cmdr. Duffy on behalf of the corps and addressed the cadets. He stated that the cadets were the back- bone of the corps, not the officers. “Without the cadets the officers would not be there,” he said. He also told the cadets that by spring he would like to see the corps in- creased by 25 or more.

Mid-East Zone.

MOSCOW (Reuters) —- Russia Tuesday night proposed a zone free of nuclear and rocket weap- ons throughout the Middle East and Baghdad pact territory.

The proposal came as commit- tees of the Baghdad defence pact met in Ankara, Turkey, to pre- pare for a full pact conference starting there Monday.

An “authorized” statement dis- tributed by the official Societ news agency Tass said the United States hopes to use the conference to obtain agreement

It said State Secretary Dulles, who leaves Washington today for the conference, also will seek to unite the Baghdad pact, NATO and the Southeast Asia defence organization “under the same roof."

“The Near and Middle East must become and can become a zone of peace where there are no and ought not to be nuclear and rocket weapons-—a zone of

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker has given qual- ified approval to an East-West summit meeting and suggested indirectly that it be held in Can- ada.

The prime minister Tuesday tabled in the Commons his Jan. 18 reply to the Dec. 13 letter of Russian Premier Nikolai Bul- ganin proposing a summit con- ference.

Mr. Diefenbaker’: reply said at one point:

“I can assure you that when the participants decide that they are ready to call such a (sum- mit) meeting and should they de- cide to hold it in Canada, they will be welcome."

The prime minister‘ thus put into the heads of the major pow- ers a suggestion -made Jan. 7 in the Commons by A. M. Nichol- son, Saskatchewan farmer and CCF member ‘for Mackenzie, that any summit meeting be con vened.-..in..Canada._ »- '

Report Riots In Capital Of

Venezuela

WASHINGTON (AP)—Reports reaching Washington said 20 per- sons were killed and 100 injured when anti-government street riots broke out Tuesday in Cracas, Venezuela.

The reports said the rioting, with cars and buses being over- turned, took place in a workers’ in-ea in an old section of the capi-

The violence occurred on the first day of a general strike in a showdown between the people and the regime‘ of President Marcos Perez Jiminez.

The Jiminez regime was re- ported to have clamped a rigid censorship on news accounts and to have arrested“1,000 persons as police and national guardsmen battled the rioters. A dusk-to- dawn curfew was said to have been imposed Tuesday night.

Dispatches from Caracas re- ported heavily-armed police used tear gas -to break up crowds of demonstrators. They mentioned no deaths or injuries.

“It was a thoroughly profes- sional job," he said Tuesday night. “These men were no am- ateurs."

Three masked men, stockings over their heads and faces, called at the Keays home about 9 p.m., while Mr. Keays was at a church meeting. Settling into the living- room with the family, keeping them covered with pistols, the trio laughed and joked while watching television.

Two hours later Mr. Keays re- turned home. Ordered to the bank‘ at pistol point, he was told to try no nonsense as his family still was being watched.

there were adequate assurance that beneficial results could be expected.”

“Past experience has shown, however, that such meetings, if they are to be fruitful, must be carefully prepared through dip- lomatic and other channels.

“I am sure that you will agree that a meeting of this kind which did not lead to positive agree- ment on at least some of the basic issues with which we are confronted might result in a pub- lic reaction more likely to heigh- ten than lessen world tension.”

The prime minister’s letter ad- vanced some of his own points as well as replying to Bu1ga.nin’s.

Mr. Diefenbaker said Canada would welcome a sign of Soviet willingness to permit freedom of movement for persons who wish to leave Russia and join relat- lives in Canada -and for any per- sons in Russia who hold Cana- dian citizenship.

Will Put Jobs

Before Surplus

OTTAWA (CP) — Finance Min- ister Fleming said Tuesday he will budget for a deficit in the next fiscal year starting April 1 if such action is necessary to pro- vide jobs for the unemployed through public works.

Speaking in the Commons, he said the government already has said there will be “no reduction in (government) expendi- tures where it means jobs.” “Next year we are not going to put a balanced budget above our firm determination to provide, through the agency of public works, jobs for unemployed Ca- nadians.”

Mr. Fleming did not elaborate, nor state his plans for presenting a budget for the 1958-59 year. On Dec. 6, in his fiscal statement to the Commons, he forecast an sso,ooo,ooo budget surplus for the current fiscal year.

No Insurance For Fish Nets

Conditions mitigating against such insurance, he said, include the short life of nets, difficulty of identification, normal year - to- year repair, and difficulty in es- tablishing what damage is due to normal wear and tear or to acci-

Flood Damage Repair In Maritimes Makes Progress

HALIFAX (CP)—The work of repairing flood damage continued Tuesday in the Maritimes. I

The CNR announced passenger| service would resume today on some sections of its Halifax and southwestern branch. Washouts cut the railway in several places last Friday, when a 21/E-day rain- storm ended.

A washout near Mahone Bay was finally bridged Tuesday, H.A. Pickering, Halifax division super- intendent, said. A 440-foot gap near Sable River, NS, where the track was left hanging in the air, will take until Friday night to fill.

Today trains will operate be- tween Halifax and Liverpool and between Yarmouth and Locke- port for the first time in five days. Trucks and buses will move traffic between Liverpool and Lockeport.

The CNR’s Bridgewater - Mid- dleton branch between the south shore and the Annapolis Valley will be out of service until Fri- day. -Mr. Pickering said. The flooding Lal-Iave River washed away the roadbed there and car- ried away part of a bridge.

Thinking the muffled-up figure in the cold darkness to be a per- son in trouble Mr. Kenney had stopped. The stranger said he was looking'for a garage - man to service his car, but he declined help.

Suspicious, Mr. Kenney circled the block and as he neared the bank a second time an auto- mobile pulled out and cut him off. He» was ordered out of his car and a thug struck him down. with a pistol.

Mr. Kenncy staggered to a‘ telephone pole and was struck to the ground with the pistol.

At the lookout man’s warning, Mr. Keays was roped and the group left with the 12 boxes‘ con- tents, leaving behind their tools.

Mr. Keays freed himself and telephoned Morrisburg police.

In New Brimswick public works crews cleared ice-jammed New- castle stream near North Minto Tuesday using dynamite. They set off 200 separate charges in the last three days.

With the ice cleared the water returned to normal and a ma- rooned family could be reached.

A truck carried a doctor to ex- amine Louis Barbieux, 85, ill when the rising’ floodwaters iso- lated his house. He was reported no worse.

A neighboring family aban- doned their home before the flood cut them off.

One man inspected his garage after the waters dropped and found his car encased in ice. The stream rose eight feet above nor- mal during the flood.
