The letter is headed: ‘Warning to A.N.D. Co., Badger and Grand Falls.””

Elsewhere it read “We, the picketers of IWA, and the IWA,

At Seaway

By HUGH MULLIGAN ABOARD THE SANTA RE- GINA (AP) — The captain of the first American ship to pass through the St. Lawrence Seaway empressed some _ reservations Wednesday about that new $475,-

000,000 water route.

Capt. Hawley MacDermid of the Grace Line freighter Santa Regina said that, unless the sea- Way changes its methods of oper- ation, ocean class ships will have

to be redesigned to avoid dam-

In western Newfoundland, IWA organizer Jeff Hall said it was “preposterous” that the company should put any credence in ‘“‘a crank letter.”

He said the letter was reviving the “old scare campaign.”

The whole letter was printed in capital letters. The envelope, also reproduced, was addressed to the A.N.D, Company Limited, Badger, Nfld. The postage date was unreadable but a company spokesman said it was sent April 6.

Similar letters were received when the strike of 1,200 loggers was: in full swing. At least one later was found to be a fake. IWA local was later re- the Newfoundland of Woods-W: \ independent union formed at Falls with the help of Pre-

“In the Panama Canal,” Mac- Dermid said, “ships are held away from the walls but here the system seems to be to hold ships in close to one wall, and that’s wheré the damage results.”

The captain was backed up in his statements by Ted B. West- fall, executive vice - president ‘of the Grace Line, who was aboard for this voyage to Chicago. DESIGNED FOR LAKERS

“The new seaway locks seems to have been designed around the old lake freighters and with no thought for ocean ships,"’ West- fall said.

This 15,000-ton veasel now has passed through all seven of the new seaway locks and the 27- mile Welland Canal between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and is somewhat the worse for wear.

Liberal Critics

Blasted

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker Wednesday launched a biting attack on Lib- eral critics of his bill of rights who maintain there should be a constitutional amendment instead on human rights. 4

He said most persons who have opposed his attempts through the years to have a bill of rights are advocates of a constitutional am- endment embracing provincial rights as well.

“They know tained.”’

The provinces have constitu- tional jurisdiction over property and civil rights and are “not pre- pared to go any way in subord- inating their rights.”

REPLIES TO BRIEF

Mr. Diefenbaker spoke in reply’ to a brief presented by the Asso- ciation for Civil Liberties and 33 other national and regional organ- izations.

The brief itself endorsed the view of a Senate committee in 1950 that protection of human rights should be written into the constitution, binding on all gov- ernments in Canada.

But the brief added that “‘short of a constitutional bill of rights

it can’t be at-
