Mr. Gardner made it clear that the modifications will (1) in no way affect the outward appearance of the Charlottetown building: (2: not lessen the saftcy features of the structure.

Modifications will mean use of available steel in a. slightly dif- ferent way than had originally been planned. rather than use of less steel for the framework. The changes will be reflected chiefly in the placing of columns of steel on the foundation walls of the building.

The fishermen pulled the mine aboard in their nets Wednesday night and it slipped into the hold with their haul of fish.

Ciro Zoffoli. skipper of the fish- ing boat. said: "We were afraid to touch it. so we left it among the fish. -

”But the heavy seas rolled the mine from one side of the hold to the other. "Every time we heard it clang against the sides of the hold we held our breath.”

But the boat entered Cesanatico harbor safely, and two army ex- perts neutralized the mine. The crew then heard that it contained

Toronto-bom Roy Thomson, whose newspaper interests span the Atlantic, presented the document, styled ”a de- claration of Atlantic unity," in a ceremony at NATO head- quarters. .

Greek Foreign Minister Stephanos Stephanopoulos. chairman of the council of ministers. and Lord Is- may, NATO secretary-general. ac- cepted the five-point declarallon on NATO's behalf.

some 200 leading persons in eight Atlantic pact countries signed the declaration. another move in the predominantly Canadian cam- paign for closer Atlantic integra- lion. as envisaged under the NATO pact's article two, the non-military clause of which Prime Minister St. Lailrant and External Affairs Min- ister Pearson are considered co- architects.

FIVE POINTS The declaration suggests what would be in effcct a parliament of ihe Atlantic. Here are its five poinls: y 1. Development of NATO as a ccniral agency co-ordinating poli- tlcal. trade and defence policies. 2. Tighter economic integration through lower tariffs and elimina- tion of trade restrictions. 3 3.
