\N age Demands Y

L (CP) -.- The Brotherhood ‘of ocomotive Fire- men and Enginemen (CLC) Thursday-placed a demand for an 18-per-cent wage increase be- fore the publicly-owned Canadian National Railways. At the same time the brotherhood rejected a railway request for negotiation of the contentious diesel firemen is- sue. .

The 9,000-member union placed the wage increase at the top of 16 demands presented -to CNR representatives at a’ meeting called to start negotitaions on a new collective agreement. The existing agreement expires March 31.

The CNR notified 'the brother- hood Feb. 3 that it intended to renegotiate existing agreements so as to -give the company the right to assign diesel firemen at its sole discretion.

“The union’ informed us that there was no basis for negotia- tion in our proposal to them," said a CNR statement following the meeting. "They (the brother- hood insisted that firemen are still necessary in all classes of service.”

In m e d i c al attendance are Chvurchill’s personal physician and his old friend, Lord Moran, and Dr. David Roberts, a British physician living on the Riviera.

Doctors have not explained the type of pneumonia or whether it is in the right_ or left lung.

They also have not disclosed how they are treating him, al- though there have been indica- tions. that antibiotics are being used. His past medical history shows he responds well to them.

DOING WELL ' Dr. Roberts told reporters that Churchill was “doing well.” He declined to give his temperature. Asked about the fever men- tionedfor the first time in Thurs- day’s bulletin, Dr. Roberts said

well have mentioned fever. be- cause fever is always associated with this illness.”

“Get well” telegrams included messages from author W. Somer- set Maugham, who lives nearby, Prime Minister Macmillan and Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. Churchill had lunch on board Onassis’ private yacht off

“We are on the verge of a tre- mendous surge of Canadianismff said Douglas Jung, President of the Young Progressive Conser- vatives speaking at a Queens County Progressive Conservative nominarting convention last night. Mr.‘ Jung, who became the first person of Chinese extraction to be elected to the House of Commons. defeated Hon.

Oxygen For Sir Winston?

LONDON (Reuters) —— A ship- ment of oxygen equipment re- ported to be for ailing Sir Win- ston Churchill was to be flown to Nice early this morning.

The equipment, including an oxygen tent, was reported called for by Lord Moran, Ohurchill’s personal physician.

An official of the manufactur- ers, Oxygenaire Limited, said the equipment was merely one of their regular three-monthly rou- tine consignments. .3

“I do not know what the equip- ment is and I do not know to whom it is consigned,” he added.

A technical representative of the firm is travelling to Nice with the equipment. I

OTTAWA (CP)——Canad-a Thurs- day had its first woman acting prime minister. K

State Secretary Ellen Fair- clough, senior cabinet minister in Ottawa Wednesday took over the title in the absence of Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker who is calm- paigning in Newfoundland.

She _laughed..out loud when ad- dressed as “madam prime minis- ter.” She is Canada’s first fed- eral woman cabinet minister.

When the’ prime minister is away from the capital, a member of the ‘cabinet must be named acting prime minister -to sign doc- uments that can only be signed ' by himself or a designated min- ister acting for him.

Russia Wants

United Korea

MOSCOW (Reuters) _—- Russia has proposed a conference of all interested states to discuss meas- ures to bring about a United Korea.

The proposal was made Thurs- day in a government statement calling on the United States to ‘withdraw its troops from South Korea to facilitate reunification.

The statement backed a Chi- iiese - North Korean declaration Wednesday announcing the with- drawal of all Chinese “volun- teers” from North Korea by the end of this year.

At one of the largest conven- tions ever to be held in George- town, Mr. John A. MacDonald was nominated" candidate for Kings County for the coming Fed- eral election at the Progressive Conservative convention held yes- terday afternoon. His nomination -was moved by William Whiteway Murray River, and seconded’ by Richard Curley of Brudenell, and received the unanimous supportof all delegates. . -The meeting was notable in

rear of the hall came forward to request an increase in the vol- ume of the public address system so that none would miss what Mr. Jung had to say.

Mr. Jung made it_ clear from the beginning that he did not in- tend to make apolitical speech. He ‘wanted to impress upon his audience’ the great possibilities which he saw in Canada which is the land of his birth and for which he served in the armed forces during World War II.

MANY POSSIBILITIES

He felt that no country in the world offered so many possibili- ties for young people and as- serted that this was one of the chief reasons why he was so intimately connected with" the work of the Young P. C.’s.

He referred to the many great traditions that had been handed- down by the British such as law and order and a sense of value of the things that are moral and spiritual.

TUNIS (AP)—Tuiiisiar1 police expelled five French consuls from their posts Thursday night in the latest of a series of inci- dents which cast shadows over the conciliation efforts of Britain and the United States. '

Three of the consuls arrived under police escort but were re- leased when they reached the capital city.

Two others, from Gafsa and Gabes in the deep south, were spending ‘the night at Sfax and were expected at the French Em- bassy today.

Tension spread as French sol- diers surrounded a village on the Libyan border, a French military truck was destroyed by at land

Tunisia charged French troops had broken out of the barricaded base and kidnapped the trio. A foreign ministry note to the French called the incident ag- gression. Tunisia also complained to the UN about it.

The French said the three had been held overnight only for questioning about the blowing up of the French military truck by a mine planted on the base. Two French soldiers were wounded in theblast that left a 15-foot wide, eight-foot deep hole.

The three prisoners were re- leased on direct orders of the French commander in Tunisia.
