U.S. High On The

Level Meeting

MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Russia Friday announced that Andrei I. Gromyko. unsmillng master of the chcssboard school of Soviet diplo- macy. has replaced Dmitri Shep- ilov as foreign minister.

The move seemed to be a de- cisive step back to the Stalinist policies of Vyacheslav Molotov. tu- tor of the new 47-year-old foreign minister.

Shepilov. 52, the tall formeb ed- itor ot Pravda who sold tanks and jet planes to Egypt. succeeded Molotov as foreign minister only last June.

His 8'2-month term of office. as- sociated with the Suez crisis and the Hungarian uprising. was cut

Messrs Meredith, Currie and Mullholiand are from Charlotte town Messrs. Matheson and Mac- Lean were guests of Mr. Currie. Mr. MacNaught was guest of Mr. Mullholland at the banquet.

The United States February 1st estimates of total potato stocks on hand, issued yesterday after- noon show holdings in the 26 Fall States of 79.230900 cwt.

Since the 1956 holding esti- mates proved to be lower than actual production. it is of little use to compare this years figures with them. it is expected that a smaller run of potatoes this year. plus some frost damage in farm cellars. which occurred during the January cold snap, will reduce to some extent the holdings oi marketable potatoes on P.E.l.

It was presumed his secretariat would deal with foreign policy questions.

. CHANGED FOUR TIMES

Shepilov was removed from pre- cisely this same job only towards the end of last December on the grounds that he needed all his en- ergies to deal with foreign affairs.

This was the fourth time since the war that the Soviet foreign ministry has changed heads.

Molotov gave way to the late Andrie Vlshinsky in 1949. but ri- claimed his old job March fl. 1953 in the reorganization aftcr Stal- in's death. Molotov stayed until last June when Shepilov took over.

Molotov is now head of the So- viet committee of control. a high level auditing and investigating agency which can poke a finger into almost any corner of the gov- ernment apparatus.

May Increase loaning Capacity Of Leon Board

OTTAWA (CF) --iris ions. ment moved Friday to increase the ' loaning callldly 07 the Canadian farm loan board by 3w,o0o,0o0 to E,fKIl.000 but im- medistcly heard opposition opin- ions that the new amount won't be enough to meet ' asing loan needs of farmers.

CCF and Social Credit spokes- men favorcd the tension but questioned if it was sufficient. The urged changes in board are pra sal methods. a lowering of its interest rates and an increase in maximum loans available to farin- ers.

Progressive Con servailvs spokesmen also questioned whe ther 580900.000 will be sufficient meet loan needs that were mount- ing because of inflation.

William Benidickson. parlia- mentary assistant to Finance Min- ister Harris. said he believed the boost would be sufficient to permit the board to meet loan needs for the next two or three years. The board nows had 5l06,000.000 in loans outstanding and anticipated a call for approximately another 824300.000 in the next year,

The discussion arose as the Commons considered a govern mcni resolution to boost loan board capitalization by 31,000,000 to 84,000,000. Under the law the government can advance to the board up to N times the amount of its I-upunlizatlon for loan pur- poses. This means maximum ad- yam-.-u ulll be boosted to 381,000.-

000 from W0.lXXl.m.

Israel Refuses To Withdraw . Troops From The Gaza Strip

United States declinal in back list in the UN. however. and the va- guely worded American-sponsord resolution was passed Nov. 2 un- der which Israel declined to with- draw, as it offered no guarantees against Egypt if she did.

Since then the U.S.. States Secretary Dulles, has of; fered the Israelis its backing for freedom of navigation. Infnnnen sources at the UN interpreted Pearson's idea as bring the Amer- ican proposal into the UN and spelling out what the backing would involve. - SEEKING CLARIFICATION

Israel's reply Friday to Dulles proposal was understood to have sought further clarification. The Israelis wanted to know what con- crete guarantees they could ex; pect to ensure the safety of their shipping in the golf.

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. fCPl -A United States conference at the highest level was suddenly called late Friday. resulting in cancellation of a cheduled week- end session of the United Nations assembly on the Mlddle- East crisis.

Henry Cabot Lodge. chief Amer- ican delegate, left by air to con- fer with President Eisenhower and State Secretary Dulles at the president's Georgia vacation re- treat over Israel's continued N fusal to withdraw her troops from the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqabs. As a result the Amer- icans pressed Arab delegations to hold off the debate.

When the Arabs agreed to this Prince Wan of Thailand assem- bly presldent broke into the late- efternoon debate on Russia's con-

nation of American aggress- slon to announce postponement.

The American move caught the other delegations by surprise. Ex- lernal Affairs Minister Pearson of Canada had cancelled a trip home when the Saturday session was called. On hearing of the post- ponement he decided to remain during the weekend to continue his attempts to get into the as- sembly some new proposal ,.' able to both sides.

STILL SEEK SOLUTION

it was learned that an African- Asian group including elements more moderate than the Arab del- egations who have been callinl for sanctions against Israel was near egreenient on a new resolu- tion which would not refer to salic- hlons. Pearson hoped to discuss its terms with other Western del- egations today and Sunday.

Meanwhile the relsults of the American meeting were anxiously awaited.
