Over Nyasaland’s

Be SEGHAN MAYNES LONDON (Reuters)—A political

storm is expected to break in the House of Commons next week over the rioting in Nyasaland. Parliamentary sources said Saturday the Labor party will re-

new its demands for more infor- aie on the troublesome situa- tion and the “‘massacre plot’’ out- lined to the House by Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox-Boyd last Tuesday

Although the subject has been debated in several sessions, there is no sign the opposition is satis- fied with the government’s re ports to Parliament.

The colonial secretary said authorities had uncovered an Af- rican plot to massacre Euro- peans in Nyasaland, but refused to elaborate on the grounds of se- curity.

OPPOSITION’S DEMANDS

The opposition is expected to demand definite statements on:

1. The current developments in Nyasaland, a British protectorate and part of the Rhodesian fed- eration, which ~has been racked by violence.

2. The deportation of John Stonehouse, a visiting Labor

forcibly removed from the f etion after addressing Afric meetings.

ARENA CLOSED

MANTWAKI, Que. (CP) — The Maniwaki Arena has been closed following discovery of some weak points in the roof. Gerald Nault, president of the arena board, said the 1,600-seat building will not be reopened until the roof has been thoroughly checked and declared safe.

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker said after a cab- inet meeting Saturday the gov- ernment has reached no decision as yet on what aid to provide the Nova Scotia coal industry.

He indicated some action may develop early this week.

As the cabinet went into ses- sion Saturday, informants said

-|the main issue before it was to

attempt to resolve the coal crisis. Discussions centred on ques- tions of whether the coal indu - ‘oy should be given a boost in :nsport subsidies or a start ryvade on rehabiliating some of e miners in other industries. Some authorities are reported io favor emphasis on a rehabili- ‘ation move, to attract new in- <custry into the area through ac- celerated depreciation allowances for tax purposes.

This would boost federal sub- ventions for this purpose to about 313,000,000 annually

Some officials, members of a special ad hoc body set up by the government to study the situation and report to cabinet, had argued that granting of a subventions boost by itself would not solve the Maritime coal prob- lem since it.would continue to face increasing competition for oil and gas.
