PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIES
Fleming Is Seen Choice ’ For External Affairs Post
' By JOHN LeBLANC
Canadian Press Staff Writer _ OTTAWA (CP) — Many mem- bers of Parliament—at top and lower levels — are cooling their heels while waiting for the word from the head man in the East Block.
North Novas Plan Reunion AMHERST, — (CP) — Offi- cialis will meet Jyne 17 to plan annual reunion here Aug. 15 *of the North Nova Scotia Highland- ers, the famous World War Two infantry unit of Canada’s Third Division. - The “North Nova Memory Club” at a weekend meeting said plans are now well advanced for what is expected to be the reunion since the end of
war.
Highlight of the program will be the placing of a plaque im the armouries bearing the names of the 30 officers and 451 other ranks, who were killed in action with the regiment during fierce fighting on the Normandy invas- jon. The unit was formed here in June 1940.
There are branch organizations im Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, Pictou County and Truro.
The word is what happens in the shuffle of the cabinet and the appointment of parliamentary secretaries. The man, of course, is Prime Minister Diefenbaker.
The cabinet shift is due because of the death of External Affairs Minister Smith. Mr. Diefenbaker has been holding down this key portfolio for several weeks, while looking around for a successor.
The prime minister miakes up his own mind on these major matters, so there isn’t much firm information floating around.
|REVOLVES AROUND TWO
However, much of the specula- tion among members in the Pro- gressive Conservative lobhy re- volves around two persons for ex- ternal affairs:
Finance Minister Donald Flem- ing;
George Drew, Canadian high commissioner at London and for- mer leader of the Progressive Conservative party.
Of the two, Mr. Fleming is re- garded as the more likely to be picked.
A number of factors are in- volved. One is that, as Conserv- atives put it, Mr. Fleming and Mr. Diefenbaker think fairly closely alike on foreign as well as domestic matters. \
Another factor is that Mr. Drew, doing a smooth job in Lon-
don, is reported extremely happy
‘Scientific Education’
As Stressed
By FRANK CAREY
WASHINGTON (AP)—A jack- ing up of the entire American ed ucational system, with new em- phasis on science. was urged by the White House Saturday ‘to help maintain the security of the free world.
Proposed financial outlay: At least $30,000,000,000 a year — or fouble the present annual United States expenditure for education.
The call was, made by Presi- | dent Bisenhower's, science ad- yisory committee in an 18,000-|
word report entitled Education for the Age of Science. It -was made public with an approving statement by Eisenhower. HOME EXPERIMENTS Specific recommendations range from one urging “do it yoursel’”’ science experiments im the home by students after school sours to a suggestion for “‘cara- vans of sciente”’—that is, mobile museums transported by trailer trucks to bring the story of sci-
mete to the hinterlands. Essenhower’s statement said:

MOSCOW (Reuters) — Britain and Russia Sunday signed a five- year trade agreement designed to |stimulate business in markets ; ranging from matches to machin- ery.
Britain added incentive for So- viet buyers wth an indirect form of government credit.
The trade agreement was signed for Britain by Sir David Eccles, president of the board of itrade, who led a -+rade mission jhere during 11 days of talks with
Nikolai Patolich Patolichev, So-

Eccles said the agreement would result in a ‘“‘substantial in- crease of trade on both sides.” iSEES TRADE INCREASE

Eccles said the five-year pact —Britain usually signs three-year trade agreements — “marks our confidence in the future of Anglo- Soviet trade.”
Britain will not make direct loans to Russia for purchases in Britain but it will give financial help to companies selling to Rus- sia under the regular facilities of- fered these firms by the export credit guarantee department of the board of trade.

WASHINGTON (AP) — John Foster Dulles, former secretary of state, died of cancer Sunday at the age of 71.
A saddened nation and the free world poured forth homage to the jman who served six eventful |years as a creator and custodian of America’s foreign policy.
The Big Four foreign ministers were reported to be considering flying from Geneva to Washing- ton to attend the funeral service Wednesday.
President Fisenhowerspend-4 ing the weekend in Gettysburg, Pa., called Dulles a lifetime la- borer for world peace, a foe only to tyranny and “one of the truly great men of our time.”
Dulles is to be buried at Arling- ton National. Cemetery with mil- itary honors reserved only for the most distinguished citizens
The former secretary of state’s body, flanked by an honor guard, will lie at the Washington National Cathedral’s Bethlenem Chapel for 24 hours: before the service ‘at the cathedral at 2 p.m. EDT Wednesday.
Dulles died in his sleep at 8:49 a.m. ADT racked by cancer and weakened by pneumonia.
For weeks, Dulles had been slipping. In February he was told that there had been a recurrence of the cancer of the colon for which he was operated upon in 1956. Heavy radiation treatment failed to stop the disease although Dulles was able to leave Walter Reed ‘Army Hospital for a time for a respite in Florida: — DIED IN HOSPITAL
By) April 12 he was back at the hospital, never to leave again. Three days after his return, Eis- enhower reluctantly accepted Dulles’ resignation® as secretary of state. There were tears in the president’s eyes and a catch in his voice when he did so.
Famed visitors came to Dulles’ bedside — Eisenhower, Sir Win- ston Churchill, former president Harry Truman and others.
Eisenhower strove to keep up the morale and spirit of the man who was his warm personal friend as well as a valued, trusted adviser. He named Dulles a con- sultant on foreign policy, with cabinet rank. And his old cabinet

Last Wednesday, the president bestowed on Dulles the highest S. award to civilians, the Medal of Freedom. Only 13 per- sons have received this award since it was created in 1946.
Dulles was too ill for Eisen- hower to present the medal in person. Mrs. Dulles, a daily vis- itor at her hushand’s bedside, did it on his behalf.

Dulles’ two sons, John and Av- ery, were also at the hospital. Se were his brother, Allen, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. and his sister Eleanor, a state department official.
In his lifetime, even from those who didn’t always agree with all his policies, Dulles had won ae- claim as a man dedicated to the cause of peace.
Through the vears, a measure of controversy and criticism sur- rounded his stewardship of for- eign policy.
SAID HE WAS TOO RIGID
In various capitals of allied na- tions, voices of concern were raised at times that Dulles was too rigid toward Russia. Crities contended that Dulles was too prone to lead the United Stafes and the free world to the brink of war in efforts to score diplo- matic victories over the Commu- nist world. “Brinksmanship” be- came a word of condemnation. Dulles’ travels became the butt of jokes and cartoons, while his grit and endurance envoked won- der and admiration.

Final Conference
away as a heavily built, broad- shouldered man walked down the aisle, and took his place behind a speaker’s stand.
He put his hands in his pockets, pulled himself up from his slight normal stoop, looked around and then said quietly into the battery of microphones‘ on the stand: “Questions?” o
The man was John Foster Dul- les. The date: January 27. The occasion: The last of his press conferences.
Not. the least of those who mourned him Sunday in Washing- ton were the corps of interna- tional press correspondents ~ *ho were among his most persistent critics. All admired his skill with words, his ability to express him- self clearly and to think on his feet. Furthermore, Dulles had a fine appreciation of what made a headline point. For that reason alone he was looked upon by most of the reporters as a lifelong friend.
EXTREMELY FRANK
Indecd, Dulles was often extra- ordinarily frank in his answers to the probing questions of newspa- per men. Sometimes this habit got him into trouble and caused worldwide repercussions. He was to all intents and purposes a one- Man state department. Often- times senior officers of the) de- partment had to wait for a press conference bv him to find out what United States foreign policy really was.
Another official, now -high @ the counsels of the government, some time ago gave a private. explanation of why Dulles was so insistent upon dealing- personally with practically every facet of the country’s foreign relations.

Sir Winston Churchill broke his long-standing rule against making public statements to issue this tribute:
“John Foster Dulles was a mas of principle and integrity whose example should long be remem- bered by those who put their trust in freedom and fair dealing.
“His courage has commanded the admiration of the whole world. A great American has pas- sed.
EXPRESSED SORROW
Prime Minister Diefenbaker, expressing the sorrow of his gov- ernment and Canadians, spoke of Dulles as “this man whose pro- found moral and spiritual beliefs, courage and devotion to the abid- ing principles of freedom caused him to give so freely of himself so that in truth his life was given to the cause of liberty for free- dom-living peoples everywhere in the world.”
Said Opposition Leader Lester Pearson: “Free democracies have lost a great champion whose like we shall not see again.”
In London, Prime Minister Har- old Macmillan praised Dulles as a true and great American pat- riot “in whom the highest ideals were supported by a signal force of character.”
Sir Anthony Eden, former prime minister whom Dulles op- posed over the Anglo-French in- vasiqgn of Suez in 1956, said he was “deeply grieved” to hear Dulles had died “‘after a lang It- ness so bravely borne.” :
Canada Pays Final Tribute
OTTAWA (OP)—Canada’s lead ers paid tribute to John Foster Dulles, former United States see- retary of state. who died Sunday of cancer at the age of 71.
Prime Minister Diefenbaker:
“The death of John Foster Dul- les removes from the councils of the world one who had an im- mense and deep knowledge of in- ternational affairs and whose in- fluence for peace with freedom was world-wide.
