The investigation into the pos- sibilities of building a causeway between Prince Edward Island and the mainland was announced by the Federal Government last winter. This is the first practical work that has been un- dertaken since the announce- ment.

During 1956 rock borlngs were made on the New Brunswick side and indications are that suitable rock can be made avail- able in reasonably large quanti- ties.

POINTS UP INVESTIGATIONS

The two develop-m»ents—th-e re- port of Soviet craft off Canada and the Argentine announcement —served to point up the occa- sional investigations by American navy ships of reported sightings of unidentified submersibles in the Atlantic and Pacific offshore‘ areas.

Defence Secretary Neil McEl- roy was asked at a press confer- ence Thursday if there was any deep concern about Russian sub- marines being near American shores.

“We think there have been Rus- sian subs in the waters off ‘our country. the Atlantic waters,” McElroy replied. “We don’t think that Russian subs have come into our territorial waters, and I don’t think they will.”

McElroy added that “we are always c 0 n c e r n e (1 about any potential enemy weapon being around, but under the law of the seas he has a right to be offshore

Find Girl Safe After 7 Days In Dense Woods

RAINY RIVER, Ont. (CP)- Searchers found 11-year-old Carol Johnson asleep by a fallen tree Saturday after she had. been missing for seven days in the dense bush near her home.

“Oh, I’m so glad you found.

me,” said the wet and shivering girl. But ‘she added, “No I wasn’t aibit afraid.” '

Carol wandered away a week ago Saturday from her farm home at Bergland, 18 miles north of this northwestern Ontario town on the international border.

More than 500 searchers were conducting what was planned as the last day of the hunt for her when she was located beside a bush road four miles sou-theast of the farm.

Hospital attendants said Sun- day that although they had to cut her clothes from her wet and numbed body, she suffered no major ill effects and was doing as well as could be expected.

TOP DIRECTOR

FIGHTING FLARES IN PARIS

LONDON (Reuters) — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has warned Canadian leaders not to be “indifferent” to nuclear-armed American flights over- their ter- ritory. _

The warning was contained in a letter’ to Prime Nlin-ister Dief- enbaker, dated May 30, and is- sued in summary 'from'Sunday night by the Soviet_ news agency Tass. The Khrushchev message was in reply to s. Diefenbaker letter May 9.

Khrushchev said Canadian lead- ers should not be indifferent to United States hydrogen and atom bomb-loaded flights over Canada

‘ because such flights “constitute

a serious danger to Canada her- self."

The message said the Canadian government shares to some ex- tent with the United States gov- ernment the responsibility for such flights, as recent agreement to merge their air forces head- quarters “regretfully” show. '

Mr. Lesage, 46-year-old Quebec City lawyer an« me'mlber_ of the House of Commons for Mont- magny 1’Ivslet, was chosen chief of the foundering provincial or- ganization Saturday night as a big majority of the voters at the party’s leadership convention swung behind him.

He won with 630 votes on the first ballot ‘alga-ins-t a combined 243 for the other three candidates. Paul Gerin - Lajole, 38-year-old Montreal lawyer, had 145 votes; Rene Hamel, member in the legislative assembly for St. Mau- rice, 97, and Montreal dentist, Dr. Aime Faute-ux, one vote.

Premier Duplessis’ powerful Union Nationale party has been in‘ power since 1944 and at no time since then have the Liberals been able to capture more than 23 seats in the 93-seat assembly. A-t presenrt only 17 Liberals form the wosition.

He said the Soviet government agrees to the appointment of ex- perts to study lillle control of the suspen-ion of nuclear weapons tests.

Similar agreement was con- tained in a note handed Satur- day to President Eisenhower.

Khrushchev said the Canadian stand on the universal suspension of nuclear tests . . . “coincides in many ways with the aim pur- sued by the Soviet Union."

In Ottawa, Soviet officials said Sunday night ambassador,Dmitri S. Chuvah-in delivered Mr. Khr-ushchev’s letter to Mr. Die- fenbaker Saturday. Its text would be available later.

Mr. Diefenbaker, in his strongly-worded May 9 letter, had expressed Canadian disappoint- ment over Ru=.ssia’s veto in the United Nations of a U.S. proposal for. inspection of the Arctic. He said Canadians were incredulous at the Soviet's “negative atti- tude" to the proposal.

Mr. Diefenbalrer was replying to a request from the Soviet pre- mier. that Canada use its influ- ence to stop testing of nuclear weapons.

PARES (AP)—~Gen. Charles de Gaulle today held the reins of power in France. His first offi- cial act was to ask thy National Assembly for a free hand in running the country for the next six months. ,

The Assembly Sunday night ap- proved de Ga»ulle’«s bid to become premier by a 329 to 224 vote. There were bitter words in the Assembly and Communists fought police in street demonstra- tion-s against him, but de Gaulle won. ~-

Following through swiftly, he asked the Assembly to give him a new shortcut procedure for amending the constitution and to extend special power measures which his predecessors have had for dealing with the 31/2-year Al- geni-an rebellion.

Within minutes, the Assembly reconvened to receive the texts of three government‘ bills. They were referred to cotmmittes and a floor debate was scheduled for 10:30 um. (6:30 a.m. ADT).

The “blank cheque" legislation sought by de Gaulle would give his cabinet power to rule France by decree for six months. .

At the end of that period all

interim measures would be filed with the Assembly for ratifica- tion. AIS parliannent received the bills, de Gau1lle's aides sent out word that he wanted rapi..'.’ap- proval so he can fly to Algiers early this. week in an effort to restore goVe1‘!1m8'nltal order in Al- geria. ruled for almost three weellns by a military-cilvilian junta that has prodaimed backing for de Gaulle.

ABOLIBH-ES CENSORSHIP

In another move, he atoll-shed the censorship Pierre Pfliml.in’s outgoing government had im- posed May 13 on new. and pic-* tures distributed in France.

De Gaulle, stern-faced Second World War hem, met with his cabinet under President Rene Coty’s' chairmanship at the E-lylsee Palace in a meeting conducted more along lines of a nnlita-ry briefing than the usual cabinet session.

In about an hour, de Gaulle and his ministers discussed, drafted and approved the texts of three bills the generai has de- manded as part of his extra- ordinary powers.

De Gaulle avoided both the ex- treme left and extreme right in making his cabinet choices. The lineup shows he hopes to put to- gether a majority coalition from the centre parties which possibly could govern snccesaslfully after the six month's emergency rule de Gaulle has outlined.
