Expect Reds Will Accept Summit Plan

MOSCOW (Reuters) — Western diplomats here confidently fore- cast Friday night the acceptance in essence by the Soviet govern- ment of the latest British

_ The Soviet Union seems to be 1n agreement on the employment of United Nations channels for finding a solution to the Middle East crisis.

Although Soviet Premier Khrushchev previously had urged a more immediate summit meet- ing than Aug. 12, this is the first firm date mentioned by the West and Soviet leadership is not ex- pected to make a major issue on this point.

However, the composition of the meeting obviously is a prime issue calling for a further ex- change of views. I

End-la, while absent from US. proposals, has been included con- sistently as a participant in all Soviet suggestions.

Rapid reaction is expected :11- though an immediate Soviet reply may be hindered by Moscow’s seed to study the difference in ap- proaches between French Pre- mier de Gaulle on one hand and Preident Eisenhower and Prime Minister Macmillan on the other;

Full-Scale Revolt In Communist-RuledTihet

OTTAWA (OP) — Agriculture Minister Harkness said Friday in the Commons “all the indica- tions” are that the Atlantic Prov- inces will have a considerably better agriculture year in 1958 than they did last year.

He said prospects for potatoes, one of the big cash crops, are bet- ter and conditions generally are improved.

Mr. Harkness said the 1957-58 potato crop in P.E.I. totalled 6,387,000 hundredwfiight compared with less than 5,000,000 hundred- weight in 1956-57. The total value of the 1957-58 crop was $8,404,000 compared with $6,901,000 the pre- kus year.

Mr. Harkness said there is no substance in claims by H. J. Robi- chaud (Ir—Gloucester) that the Progressive Conservative govern- ment had “played around” with the Prince Edward Island potato crop. ‘

Actually, Mr. Harkness said, the government had been “extremely generous" in dealing with a rel- atively amount of surplus P.E.I. potatoes.

“There is certainly no cause for complaint that we weren’t sup- porting the potato crop,” the min- ister said.

He added that Mr. Roblchaud and some Liberal senators were just dishing out “Liberal prop- aganda.” The potato subsidy had been abolished by ‘Mr. Robi- chaud’s party and it wasn’t fit- ting that Mr. Robic’haud should complain now that there isn’t a subsidy.

Mr. Roblchaud, speaking Thurs- day night, had said I-ladlmess had tried to saddle the P.E.I. gov- ernment and ' potato producers with the blame for delays in im- plementing a price support scheme. Mr. Rolbichaud said the federal a g r i culture department was at fault.

Replying to Erhart Regier (CCF ~Burnaby-Coquitla-m), who asked why the Atlantic provinces had a bad year in 1957, Mr. Hark-ness said conditions had been “very dry,” particularly. in Nova Sco- tia. The federal government had had to assist with relief -shi-p-

ments of hay.

Would Collect Teeth For Check

LONDON (Reuters)—,An Amer ican scientist Friday wggested a worldwide collection of children’s

activity increases following mil- itary and civil uses of atomic energy. _

Dr. Herman M. Kalclnar, writ- ing in the science journal Na- ture, proposed that the collection be made by official public health agencies in every nation. \.

“If a continued general trend toward a'rise in radioactivity in children’s teeth were ascertained it might well have important hearings on national and inter- national policy,” he said.

“The results should be con- Veyed to the public without inter- pretations which might give rise to either complacency or fear, but rather in a spirit that would encourage sober, continued, ac- tive concern.” ,

Dr. Kalckar noted that young children took up' radioactive strontium more intensely than addicseents and adults.
