The eommitt:-e is also expected to study financial problems of stu- donta. Its report will probably be made public in the summer.

No statistics on the number of suicides have been made available by the univr-rsltlcs. A fellow at St. Catherine's college. Oxford. wrotc that intellectuals commit iwiilrddo about six times as fre- quentlv as mcmparalble in-ouiae of athletes of the same age.

Vifhlle some blamed the suicide rate on attempts to impose unl- vei-sity training on persons who lacked the intellectual equ-pment to cope wirill it. a student of Gon- vllo and Caius.

Provinces Solve Angling Problem

QUEBEC, (CPi - Ontario and Quebec have solved a problem that has long been a nuisance to anglers.

Game and Fisheries Minister Pnliliol of Quebec. announced ar- rangements for exchanging fishing privileges on that portion of the Ottawa River serving as an inter- provinclal hoimclary.

An angler with an Ontario li- cerice can now fish any part of the Oii.-uva to where it turns off into Quebec alter bordering the two provinces for about 2'75 miles. Similar privileges are extended the Quebec angler.

Until now. fishermen were re- stricted to their own side of the river.

The provinces are now negotiat- ing for a uniform agreement on the sire of catches.

with his hands jammed in the pockets of his khaki trousers. Gary slogged along the sun-washed road to tiown. Before he had gone far he realized that his phys- ical strength was sulll far be- low pm, but his moody anger at life drove him on. And then a car swiahed to ii. Ittop in the dust. close to his elbow, and Adelaide said briskly. "Get in. silly. Un- lass you feel that you've simply got. to pout some more."

Gory was too tired to argue. He got in. Sweat. was cold on his forehead and his eyes felt hot cnd dizzy.

"You could have telephoned from the house, you know, and found out all about the trains in five minutes." she Wall. on. looking straight ahead from un- der the brim of the new sports hat. "That is - if you have to find out about trains."

"Listen. my girl." Gary's law was so stiff that the words clipped off like lengths of wine. "Can't I make you understand that I can't be under obligations to your fam- ily any longer? I'm I. man - I've got to work - pay my own way-- get somewhere on my own...."

"Oh." she said flatly. "'I'ho.t's the reason, is it?"

"That's the reason." Equally flat, knowing that he was telling only half the truth - les than half. to be mathematlcall about it. Knowing that. the other half - the other three-fourths -- could not be told. Not till he owned more worldly goods than could be oar- ried in one battered suitcase.

”We may as well go back." Ade- laado turned the car around with one impulsive swoop. "Grace and Oliver are coming to dinner."

"I thought you had to go for your mother."

"Dad sent Sllim after Mother. They passed us s mile back there. Didn't you see them?" .

”No. I didn't."

The Kimballs arrived, Oliver very jaunty in a new spring suit. and Grace with all her curls in place and her eyebrows arched to look like the latest Hollywood sensation. And immediately Har- vey brought out the map and the geophyaicsta report and began ex- pansively to tell evelything that had happened.

Adelaide slipped out and clutch- ed at Gary, in the hall. "Oh. dear! ; He's telling Oliver! And I wanted jhlm not to. He never could keep 3 a thing. poor Dad. Now the fire- l works will begin. You listen."

OTTAWA. (OP)-The ROAI. ll well as the army. is having trouble establishing an adequate ruerve. it was revealed Tuesday at. the uinuai convention of the Royal Culadian Flying Clubs As- soclation.

Member clubs of the anoeiation have embarked on a plan to train 600 RDAF reserve onlccrs as fly- ing instructors. so far, however. only 120 officers have been trained and the association said there has been "discouraging progress" dur- ing the last. year and a. half.

Air Vice Marshal J. G. Kerr. air officer commanding. Training Command. told the ISOCilbl0fl that the RCAF would have to rely on a. trained "pool" of 600 flying instructors in the event of war. RCAF recruiting isn't what it might be either, Air Vice Marshal Kerr indicated. ”The three armed forces are in a. buyers' market." he said.

He acid he questions the com- mon ataiemant. that. Oe.nula's youth is air-minded.

Clubs Can Help

The air force needed 860 new trainees a year. so far. it had been able to attract enough re- cruits to fly its aircraft but a "large proportion" of these were ”not really air-minded."

Air Vice Marshal Kerr suggested that the greatest. contribution the Flying Clubs Association could make to Canadian defence would be to try to make the country's youth more air-minded.

Among the Air Vice Marshall listeners were Air Marshal Roy Slemon, chief of air staff; Vice Admiral E. R. Malnzuv. chief 0! naval stab: and Ll--G8-ll.

upon the advantages of selling leases. and for once Gary found himself agreeing with Oliver though he was too respectful to sneer and be superior like Oliver.

"I think Klrmball's right, Mr. Mason." he said.

"Of course he's right," Grace put in. "Oliver knows the on business - anyway. he ought to. Has worked as it ever since he left school.”

”How do you know," Oliver marched around making flat.-hand- rd gestures. "how deep you'll have to go? You may not get oil at three thousand feet - maybe not at five thousand. Suppose you have to go rlonn eight or ten thousaild feet? Any idea what a well like that

out a notebook with a little flour- ish. "Got. figures on everything."

"You can hire men to spend your money, if that's what you wallt."

"Well, it's my money. I made it. I can make some more."

Oliver got out a little book him- self. "Now, on a twelve per cent royalty-" he went on and on. and Grace chimed in. Gary said noth- ing more. He could see by the cant of Hiilyey Mason's law that it would be useless. that any ad- ditional argument from him would be only an impertinence and an lrritatloii.

"I wonder!" Grace was sci-castle.

"well, you can all come and eat dinner. anyway." sighed Mona Lee. "They're not going todig for oil today - and the rolls are getting cold."

Adelaide edged Gary into a cor- ner as the family trooped into the dining room. "That was shabby- ag-reelng with Oliver." dis snap- ped. "I thought you'd stick with Dad and me."

"I agreed with him because in this lmtnnes he hnppvna to be right." Gary amid quietly.

Czech industry And Transport Paralyzed

By Richard 0'llegn.n VIENNA. Austria. (AP) winds from Russia plus critical shortages have broiuht partial paralysis lo Czechoslovak industry and tnnmort plus freezing homes to millions of cuechs. Prague newmapers disclose.

Official newspapers of the Com- munist government in recent days have appealed to the pqnilatlon to help relieve .t.hc "critical situa- tion." Extreme cold and water abort- ages have frozen up or or-igoled most of the nation's water-driven electric plants-and these are the main source of 'ndustri.l ' and domestic power.

The result is a. partial break- down of industry. Westerners in Vienna say the affect Czech economy must be pu'i.iculnr- ly severe because it. is busy switch- ing from its immense plans for heavy industrialization to the -,u-oductlon of consumer products- along the lines of the ”new look" in the Communist world.

Coal Shortage '

On top of a. power shortage. Prague neiwmapers report a crit- ical lack of coal The Siberian temperatures apparen-tly have in- creased the use of hard fuel and newspapers indicate miners are not eager to work.

The coal shortage, the nswqia.p- era iridlcate. also means less fuel for homes. insufficient for factor- ies. and I critical shortage for the railways.

Exiperta here say the transporta- tion criais can be expected to have an effect on industry that will add to the complications of the pow- er shortage. It means that the output of state-run factories will be held up while they wait for the delivery of parts from other state plants. In the Communist society, industrial production has to run according to plan. A breakdown in one part means a collapse or the whole. '

Terrorists Are Bound By Oath

By Ronaiif Baichelor

NAIROBI. Kenya, (Reuters) - Mau Mnu terrorism which has swept this colony for the last. 15 months. causing thousands of deaths and maimings. is-rooted in one of man's oldest and most abid- ing conventions-the oath.

Only recently have the authori- ties managed to obtain anything like. a comprchensivc picture of the ontlls and the influence they exert on the minds rind actions of the. nvei'age. member of tile Kikuyu trihe, But they now know that Mnu Mail has three distinct groups of oaths. with grades with- in each group.

Most Klkllyus believe that to break a sworn with means death. eiiller supernaiiirally or at the hands of the oath administrator and his "priests".

The first grade oath, which n!- ficinls any has been administered at one time or another to about 90 per cent of the 1.250.000 Kikuyu tribcsmen. requires the oath-taker to pass through A banana-leaf arch seven times. swearing to obey the orders of HIP Mau Mau So- ciety "or may this oath kill me."

To Ensure Security

A "sci-nnd grade" oath, accord- ing to intelligence sources here. is later administcred with much the same ceremonial to fully ”gradiiaieri" members of a local committee. with the object. of en- suring scclirily. Penalties threat- encvl to nmone lirnaking this type nf onth ini-iudc disiigiiratinn. fol- lowed by dcaill.

Another type of oath is reserved for Kikuyu political leaders.

But the core of all Mau Mau oaths today is the "forest oaths" taken by terrorist leaders and the Mau Mau shock-troop! in the mountainous forests.

These oaths involve and sexual bestiality so designed that the oath-taker will commit any act of savagery to which his loaders order him without the slightest feeling of revulsion.

Sharp Air Engagement Near The Korean Coast

WASHINGCION, (AP) - The United states Air Force said today U. 3. planes and MiG-15 jet. fight- ers fought a sharp engagement near the Korean coast only 10 days ago, after a U. 5. reconnaissance bomber was attacked.

No American aircraft were lost, but one of the Russian-made jets was shot down. An air force spokesman here, who had only terse information on the incident, said so far as is known in Wash- ington there Were no U. S. casual- ticr nor plane damage.

As for the nationality of the MIG pilots. he said only. "It. is safe to assume they were Com- Hllullsll."

This was the first known clash between U. S. and Communist planes since the Korean armistice was signed July 27. Whether by coincidence or not. it occurred on a day of considerable tension- Jan. 22 was the day on which United Nations officials released to

civilian statue prisoners of 'war who refused to be repatriated to Red-held territory. The Commun- ists had insisted they must be kept in neutral custody.

Luge Iud Formation

The air force gave this account of the plane incident:

A U S. RB-45-a light, Jet.-pro- pellcd bomber fitted for recon- naissance work-was flying a re- cunnalasance mission Jan. 22 over international waters northwest of Sok-to island, off the west. coast of Korea. wheli "a large formation of Mig-16 jet fighters" attacked it.

F-BS jet lighters guarding the bomber opposed the attack and in the ensuing fight shot. down one MiG.

The clash apparently took place north of the 38th parallel, the old dividing line between North and South Korea.

Tax Cuts Unlikely For

Cana, di-ans

3! llanld IIITIIOI - (Canadian Prue Staff Writer) OTPAWA, (CF) - The men who

advise the govmuno t on budlet piuinlng have concluded that though the Canadian economy shows some signs of weakness. this is not the time for I switch to deficit financing.

Informant: said that if trans- lated into policy by the govern- ment thia likely will mean no ta: cute for Canadians in 1 .

Deficit financing is sometimes employed by central governments to stimulate the flow of money and goods during deflatlonarylpep iods. To increase consumer pur- chasing power. the government cuts cues to a point where its income in loss than its expendi- tures and borrows to pay its way. thus increasing the national debt.

The current outlook is that the government will require another 54.500.000.000-similar to the 153- 54 outlay--to pay its way In the 1964-55 fiscal year April 1. 'i'he official estimate: likely will be tabled in the common: at the and of next week.

Though the estimates may show a small drop In 1954-55 defence spending. this may be balanced by heavier requirements for civil sar- vlce salaries. interest charges. pay- ments to provinces, pensions and family allowances.

Revenue Barely Enough

Experts believe that based on the current level of taxes, govern- ment revenues next year will here- ly cover expenditures. leaving no room for tax cuts. unless the gov- ernment goes in for deficit financ-

ing.

There still is some hope that national production-on which rev- enue forecasts are based-will in- crease again from the 1953 high of 524.200.000.000.

But the increase is expected to be small. much less than the S2.- 200,000.000 increase in 1953. Even an increase of two or three per cent in national production will hardly warrant any worthwhile tax cut, one official said.

Fear Industry Reaction

If the government suddenly switched to deficit financing. some officials say, it might lead to "re- cession conditioning." Industrial leaders might believe the govern- ment expecied a heavy recession end curb industrial expansion. i
