Dief Demands Withdrawal Of Newspaper Legislation
VANCOUVER (CP) — sition Leader Diskseboles “ake said Saaturday that only the complete withdrawal of the Liberal gov- ernment’s proposed séwspaper legislation would be acceptable to the Progressive Conserva- tives.
Mr. Diefenbaker told a press conference on his arrival here that he noted the Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers As- sociation had also sought with- drawal of the legislation.
This ‘was a request similar to that voiced by the Opposition in the Commons following the an- founcement by Finante Minis- ter Gordon of legislation de- signed to ensure that no Cana- dian daily newspaper will fall under foreign ownership
The government proposes to |
disallow as a deductible expense for income tax purposes expen- ditures made by any firm for advertising in a non-Canadian newspaper.
When asked whether he re- gards Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin as a potential threat to his post, Mr. Diefenbaker said he doesn’t consider threats and doesn't believe everything he hears or reads on the question of leadership.
He said the Manitoba pre- Mier was an outstanding man, and so was Davie Fulton, B.C. Conservative leader, who has announced he will returp,te fed- eral politics. As -idng ps the Conservatives had such out- standing men the future of the party was assured, said Mr. Diefenbaker.
China, meanwhile, sent a mes-
‘sage of support to the new re-
gime.

NEW YORK /(AP)—Poign- ant pictures of two war-or- phaned Vietnamese young- sters—one a wounded, weep- ing girl and the other a defi- ant, suspicious boy, both about 5 — have touched the hearts of many people.
The photos were taken by Horst Faas, a Pulitzer Prize- winning Associated Press photographer, in the after- math of fierce battles be- tween South Vietnamese sol- diers and Viet Cong guerril- las.
The little girl, barefoot and clad only in dark pantaloons, her left arm and_ hand swathed in bandages, is shown limping through the rubble of Dong Xoai. Her par- ents were killed in the battle that raged through the town.
“We want this little girl to love and take care of with eur four children.” wrote a couple from Ontario. Calif., to The Associated Press.

The little boy, who was the only survivor found by South Vietnamese soldiers when
they entered the destroyed rubber plantation town of Thuan Loi, touched a farm
woman in Newark, Ohio.
“I will not rest. until I can somehow find out about this little one (and) the possibility of getting him and giving him a loving home.’
The possibilities of finding either .of the two youngsters again are slim. In the confu- sion that followed the fight- ing, neither was identified. But Faas and The Associated Press promised to try.

LONDON (CP)—After a pain- ful birth, the Commonwealth ipeace mission took its first steps during the weekend with a plea to “all parties” in the | Vietnamese fighting to show re- |straint as an initial move to ward negotiation.
The mission of four prime ministers led by Britain's Har- old Wilson also announced Sun- iday it hopes to see U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations, in the opening phase of its peace offensive.
The main significance was that the mission came to life at, all—and with considerable |vigor—since its formation - had |been threatened by dissension in the 21-nation Commonwealth prime ministers’ conference where it was first proposed by Wilson Thursday.
The moves came during a | working - social weekend in iwhich the visiting government heads from around the world were entertained at Chequers and Dorney Wood, two govern- +ment country houses in Buck- | inghamshire.

as a sort of diplomatic battle ground between China and Rus- sia and, the Commonwealth peace mission, inspired by Wil- son, was appointed with an eye to its impact on the Afro-Asia® statesmen: meeting there.
Wilson, meanwhile, was praised Sunday in most British newspapers for his success in’ sparking into action the mission on which the other serving gov- ernment heads are President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa of Nigeria and Dr. Erie Williams of Trinidad-Tobago.
The mission hoped to see Thant on a forthcoming visit to Europe, possibly in Geneva, be- fore heading on its planned visits to Peking, Hanoi, Saigon, Moscow and Washington.
SUPPORT IDEA
The mission came under at tack Friday — principally from Tanzania and Kenya, the East Aftican neighbor states—but # became clear during the week- end that the main body of prime ministerial opinion supports the initiative despite reservations.
Prime Minister Pearson, who was among several prime min- isters at . Chequers, Wilson's country residence, Friday night, told reporters Sunday he now felt more optimistic about the mission's prospects than he had earlier.

Criticism Of United States Is Rippling Across Japan
TOKYO (AP) — A wave of comment that tends to dis- credit the Americans in Viet Nam and tarnish the U.S. image in Asia ripples across Japan to- day.
The movement, # it can be called such, is carried on through newspapers, magazines, screen and television.. It_ is spurred on -by mass media which pride themselves on be- ing non-Communist and on not being influenced or controlled by the Communists.
A steady flow of often biased or slanted reports has appeared in Japan.
The Japanese don't necessar- ily see eye-to-eye with Ameri-
~ cans. That's to be expected. But
, there have heen- instances , where Japanese editors pre-
ferred Chinese Communist oe North Vietnamese versions over reports by correspondents of the Western world. Some editors contend that Americans don’t understand Asians and the As- ians should be allowed te iron out their own differences. Thus, American bombings of North Viet Nam are repeatedly condemned. So were last spring's use of noxious gas and
the U.S. military build-up in the
