H6 Was Speaking at the annual dinner of the Provincial Rifle Association and asked if he mighf. briefly discuss politics. He said that the basis ollour democracy was that "we could accept one theory and reject another."

"What honor is there in being abused?" the Premier asked, add- ing that perhaps it was just a fighting spirit which made a man come back for more; "and a dc. sire to leave things just a little better than we found them."

12 Ask Ans-y-lum

And Case is Being Studied

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Aug. 2 - (Reuters) .. Twelve Polish seamen who stormed the bridge of their tiny mlnesweeper. lock- ed up their "political officers” and brought the ship into port, at Ystad, tonight were allowed to EPP-l.V for asylum.

The 12 men told port officials that they had led a mutiny early today aboard the ship, the H. G. 11. inspired by recent United States and British radio broad- casts to seek freedom in Sweden from Comm-unism. ,

Meanwhile. the remainder of the 33-man crew steamed out to sea bound for Poland after the commander had handed in his re- port of the incident.

Unofficial reports said the sea- men. supported by others of the crew. crept around the ship just before daylight. gathening all the arms they could find.

Then they forced their officers at gun point into the mess and into their caibins.

Tired of Regime

The mutineers were reported to

have told authorities .they were

- Flee To Sweden

"tired of the terror regime. sick of political officers on boardtand disgusted with army officers trials in Warsaw."

They said they were encouraged

to reach Sweden by Pollsh-1an- '

guage radio reports of other Pol- ish seamen being granted asylum here.

Before being allowed to apply for asylum. the men were warn- ed of possible reprlsals against their families, and that their at- tempt. might come to nothing if

Sees Sabotage Possible In Airlift P1ane's Loss

VANCOUVER. Aug. 3 - (CP) - The Vancouver sun says to- day that sabotage looms as a pos- sible explanation for the crash of a Tokyo airlift plane in days ago.

The plane with 38 a-board dis- appeared on Cape Spencer, Alas- ka. while on route from Van- couver to Tokyo. it was oper- ated. by the Canadian Pacific Air Lines.

The Sam said that officials of the air line: had ruled out the posdailluy of mechanical failure as relionllrlo for its diamon-

arm. "R. C. M. P. and I. Bxf. are standing by to iaapoc ”ge. if, and when. it is re-

Spokesman for the C. P. A. said there has never been a crash of a DC-4 - the type of plane used on the airlift-as a result of me- chanical failure.

The Sun said it had learned that baggage of U. s. airmen aboard the plane had not been in-

spected.

"With this in view. officials are considering the possibility that a bomb or some other internal de- vice might have been concealed the uni ted baggage."

-On Friday. August 10th R.C.A.F. Station Summerside will chalk up another "first" with the gradua- tion of the first university training course in navigation in the history of the R.C.A.F'.

Plans lnuilve Germany And Middle East

By ARTHUR GAVSHON

LONDON. Aug. 2 - (AP; - The Western Big Three were reported today to have agreed on quick ac- tion to plug two wide gaps in their Atlantic defence system - the Middle East and Germany.

Official sources said the Uiiite.i States, Britain and France have called for two meetings of Atlan- tic Pact foreign and defence min- isters in the next 70 days to;

1. Consider and probablv ap- prove Turkish and Greek claims for membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

2. Set up a new Middle East defence board under British command to be llnlted with N. A.T. O.

3. Greenlight a military role for Germany in Western de- fence. ' is ex-

pected to announce tomorrow tliel

ministers will meet in special ses- sion in Ottawa Sept. 17 and again in Rome Oct. 10.

The United States. Britain and -A

France already have agreed on the main points of their future mid- eastern strategy.

They still have much work to do before agreeing on a future military rule for Germany.

Their decisions have to be en- dorsed by their nine N.AT.O. partners. That is the purpnse of the Ottawa and Rome meetings.

Middle East. Plans

Here is a broad picture of their Middle Eastern agreement:

The Western Three will set up a joint mideastern defence board. A Briton. will command it Britain will also have control of its own naval. supply lines from Gibral- tar to the sites Canal.

The command will extend over the Eastern Mediterranean and over any mideastern countries which decide to pitch in. It will take in Turkey. Jordan. Iraq, and possibly Israel. Greece will come under Gen. Dwight; D. Eisenhow- er-'.x European Command.

Admiral Robert 3. comer of the United States will continue to control American naval forces in the whole Mediterranean. Carney will also retain command of the Atlantic Pact forces in Southern Europe. The French will retain control over their own supply ioutes from Southern France to French Africa.

The Western Three have still to agree on the shape of Germalnyks future fighting force. .

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUART- ERS. Korea, Aug. 3 - (Friday)- (AP) A high United Nations source today expressed belief that the Reds may be preparing to ac- cept the Allied stand on a Korean cease-fire line despite their vocal insistence on the 38th parallel.

This view was based on Pnininz anti Pyongyang broadcasts which distorted the Allied attitude. mak- ing it appear the Allies are de- nianding a line much farther north than the present fighting front.

Thus, the U.N. source reasoned. the Communists would be able to accept the fighting front as the cease-fire line and still foster the impression they had wrung cori- ce-csions from the Allies.

The armlstic negotiators were scheduled to meet at Kaesnniz for the 18th time at ii A. M. Iii P.M. Thursday. E. D. T).

Significant Trend

The fact that the talks have not broken down, despite seven fruitless meetings. appeared sig- nificant to most observers here. Both sides still seemed willing to keep trying for an armistice.

The Communist radio at Peip- announced that Lt.-Gen. Nam Ii, senior Red delegate at Kaesong, had "repud- iated" the U. N. buffer "deep across the 38th parallel."

A later Peiping broadcast Fri- day morning quoted Nam as say- lng ”. . Demands which attempt. tc push the military demarcation lzrie deep into the positions of our side . .. .are absolutely unaccept- able."

The Allies insist on the line be- ing along the present front. south of 33 in -the west but 20 to 35 miles north of the parallel in the centre and east.

The Reds have held out for a buffer zone centred on the 38th parallel -- the old political boun- dary between North and South

OTTAWA. Aug. 2 -(CP)- Can- adals dairy industry has urged the

igoverpment to make sure imports

of butter are made soon to avert- ihe possibility of a shortage next winter. accompanied by climbing prices and hoarding.

In a. letter to Agriculture Minis- ter Gardlrier. the National Dairy Council of Canada said product- ion of. creamery tut er in Canada is below that of a y at ago and the outlook is that Canada will be unable to build up sufficient stock- piles to care for next winter's needs.

The government has not yet made any announcement as to what it plans to do about butter imports. tho-igh it was learned yesterday that the cabinet has givep the Agriculture Deparmentis Dairy Products Division authority to negotiate with New zcaland for about 10.090000 pounds.
