Father Plnesu was ordained in Montreal in 1033 sndileft for China in 1935. He was stationed at Ankln for a period in order to familiarize himself with the language before being assigned to tht rural mis- sion field at Psihsien. With the advent of the Japanese. conditions were made so unbearable for the Missionaries that they were com- pelled to abandon some of the rural missions, including the one at Ankin. Father Pineau was then assigned to teaching English at the Jesuit University at suchow which was rated by the Government in- spectors as one of the best in China. '

"When the Communists took over the district we were reluctantly compelled to abandon our work at the University or remain on at the sacrifice of our principles." said Father Pineau.. "We were then put under ouse arrest and allowed our liberty within the town area and tzrsnted permission to carry on our religious duties. chiefly bscausc the Communists do not want to leave the impression thatireiigion is not free.

War-Weariness May End Fighting In Indo-China

PARIS. (AP)-The accumulated weariness of seven years oi fight- ing. military reverses, political frustrations and apparently end- less drain of financial resources has built up trer...;1dous political pressure in France to bring an end to the war in fndo-China.

Today. more than ever. French people are asking how long they can bear the cost-in msnpower.. as well as money. They wonder how much longer the struggle can go on. on what basis it can pos- sibly be ended. and what Franco stands to gain even if victory

should be won.

LONDON. (Reuters)-The wild- cat strike of 2,000 oil tanker drivers pod assistant: in the London area showed its first signs of cracking Sunday when a meeting of 3.000 strikers voted. by a small margin. to rotum to work.

Achievement of a truce in Korea whettcd the French appetite for a way out of Indo-China.

The misgivings of the man in the street will be echoed this week in the National Assembly. The as- sembly is splintered into many odlnlons on what should be done.

The deputies may be able to agree only to discard all prepared resolutions. It has happened be- fore that the assembly closed a de- bate by turning down all resolu- tions. leaving the government with no parliamentary guidance.

Shoestring War "51? '

I

When the war started in Decem- ber. 1040, the issue was one quite simply of keeping the French flag flying in Indo-China. At that time. it. was a shoestring war between the equipment-starveu postwar French forces and the loosely- organised Nationalist guerrilla forces of Communist-trained Ho Chi Minh. ,

Little by little, as political events turned. Franco found that what startodias a colonial uprising had evolved into another struggle with world communism.

Today the war is costing some 81.000.000.000 a year. oi which the United States is supplying about two-thirds. On the French side are 200.000 men-Viot Namese. French, Fbraign Legionnairea and North Africans. An satirratsd 800,000 are in Ho Ohi Minh's Vletmlnh forces.

U. S. Military Leaders In Nato Back Churchill For Big Four Meeting

PARIS. (AP)-American military leaders in NATO are putting pres- sure on the United States and France to back Premier Minister Churchill's side in the dispute and are urging the U. 8. state de- partment to chahge its policy thinking-but for a peculiar rea- son.

They don't think a top-level Big Four meeting will solve anything. But they believe the best way to jolt some NATO nations out of their delaying tendencies is to show them there is no easy or quick solution to East-West. prob- lems.

W"e don't think a meeting be- tween the heads of the Big Four powers will do one bit of good." said a. highly-placed American of- ficer. "We doubt very much it would cut down world tension one iota. But as long as Churchill's idea of a Big Four talk is being kicked,arou.ud.,, France will hold up action on the European De- fence Communiiy." I

The French, who first dreamed up the EDC. have turned sour on the plan for bringing West Ger- man troops into 8. European army. But without West German mili- tary help. the North Atlantic ai- liance could not stand up to st surprise soviet attack against cen- tral Europe.

If France and the other EDC nations-Italy. Belgium. Holland and Luxembourg-okayed the treaty. the officers believe. Churchill's Big Four meeting plan would go up in smoke.

Churchill began urging a meet- lnl! 01 government heads of the Big Four last May. The United States government balked and fi- nally compmmised on a meeting of a Big Four foreigin ministers Nov. 0 at Lugano. The Kremlin has not yet assented to this.

Allied military leaders-always alert for political reactions in the 14-nation alliance-are voicing KHV8 concern that NATE) will back-slide next year in its dcfencc buildup of western Europe.

GEORGETOWN. (CF) -- Police have started a "get tough" policy here towards leaders of the left- wing Peoples Progressive party who have been trying to stir up trouble among sugar-plantation workers. i

Expect Record Number of Bills At House Session

OTTAWA. (CP)-The first ses- sion of the 22nd Parliament open- ing Nov. 12 is expected to con- sider a record number of bills in- troduced by private members from all political groups in the House.

The bulk of the non-government legislation will be applications for divorce which will probably ex- ceed 300. A total of 208 divorce petitions from Quebec and New- foundland. the only provinces without divorce courts. have al- ready appeared in the Canada Gazette. Another 84 petitioners have given notice that ihey in- land to make application for div- orce.

Medical Expenses

Most of the other bills expect- ed to he introduced by private members have been debated pre- viously in the House. Some of them were defeated on recorded votes while others were with- drawn or prevented from going to a vote by extended debate.

Bills introduced by private members must be framed care- fully because only ministers of the Crown may introduce legis- lation calling for expenditure of public money. If money is in- volved. the private member asks the House to agree that the gov- ernment should give consideration
