Canadian Car Industry

“Criticized By

OTTAWA (CP) — Economist Ted English says the Canadian auto industry is really not suited for the Canadian economy. There are too many manufacturers, too many models and too many de-

sign changes.

“We'd do better if we had fol- lowed the example of Sweden and built only two models, one in the low-prized field and the other in

African Split Seen Menace

By DAVE OANCIA

LONDON (CP) — Colonial Sec retary Alan Lennox-Boyd warned Saturday that failure to make the Federation of Rhodesia and Ny- asaland workable could divide Africa into opposing groups em- bracing black nationaliam and racial segregation.

“Grave consequences would fol- flow if Nyasaland left the federa- tion,” said the colonial secretary in an address to the annual con-

“ference of the Conservative Com- monwealth Council.

“A chain reaction would be started since some groups in Ny- asaland are campaigning not only for withdrawal from the federa- tion, but for independence as

Members Face Grind To Prorogue July {st

By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)—The Commons faces the prospect of nine weeks of hard work if Parliament is to be prorogued by the Queen on Canada’s 94th birthday July 1: The second of two early-sessior hurles—the budget debate — wa: of last week. The othe: major debate, ‘on the throne speech, ended earlier in the ses- sion. ©

But this progress since Parlia-,

The remaining business adds @ to heavy going in the nine weeks until July 1.

MUST FINISH FIRST

It has never been stated offi- that the Queen will proro- gue parliament but it’s a fair as- Fgumption she will if the Com- mons afd Senate have finished their business ‘by then.

Otherwise, ‘she may be asked to give royal assent to legislation that has been passed by that

Last year the 35-year-old Vic- toria-born economist toured var- fous European centres studying industrial produ ction, particu- larly in iron and steel.

He found that Sweden and.Can- ada have a lot in common: Both are relatively small markets with competitive giants nearby. In the case of Canada, it is the United States. In the case of Sweden, the neighboring giants are Germ- any, France and Britain.

WITH LOW TARIFFS

And yet while Canada has sought to encourage domestic production by relatively high tar- iff protection, Sweden has been able to accomplish the same end

English said.

“The trouble with the Canddian auto industry is that it was trans- planted from the United States and not a good transplant at that,’ Prof. English said.

“Tf we followed the Swedish ex- ample, we would change designs only every three or four years. With lower production costs, we would be able to reduce our auto tariff and still compete with for- eign small cars.

Cuban PM Welcomed

MONTREAL (CP) Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro ig- nored police guards and the red carpet treatment Sunday, wan- dering right into the heart of waiting crowds as he started a one-day visit to Montreal.

He met rousing welcomes both at Montreal airport in suburban Dorval and outside his downtown hotel.

After greeting at the airport Mayor Sarto Fournier and mem- bers of the executive of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of his visit, the leader of the Cuban rebellion later turned to the crowd that pressed close to his waiting black lim- ousine. i He waved his hand and said “hello.’’ One man reached out a hand. Castro shook it.

CROWD BROKE THROUGH

Then the crowd stormed past RCMP, Montreal, Quebec Pro- vincial and Cuban security police to shout greetings and clap him on the back.

Mi i LONDON (AP) — Fears grew Sunday that a giant British freighter plane carrying secret equipment to an Australian rocket range may have been forced down in Soviet territory. The four-engined Avro Tudor with 12 men aboard has been missing since Thursday over the rugged mountains of-eastern Tur- key, about 100 miles from the So- viet border. ; A foreign office spokesman said Russian officials in reply to queries said they knew nothing of the plane.

Old Casbah ls Doomed

ALGIERS (Reuters) — Algiers’ famed Casbah, ancient lair of Barbary Coast pirates and clas- sic setting for modern tales/of in- trigue, is doomed to disappear. Demolition work now is under way on a condemned section in the labyrinth of twisted streets and toruous passageways which form the old: Arab town where 80,000 Moslems still live.

It is the first step in a long- term plan to pull down the Cas- bah and replace it with modern buildings. City authorities intend to rebuild little by little over the years, preserving only some parts of historical and architec- tual interest dating back to the period of Turkish domination which began in the 16th century.

trail ended at a bloodstained handprint on the courthouse step left by the beaten Parker when the 15 or 20 men dragged him to a waiting car.

Sheriff W. O. Moody said he believed Parker was no longer in the area and perhaps is dead. Moody said Parker- may have been dumped into one of the half-dozen nearby rivers. Searching parties probed sev- éral bodies of water on the pos- sibility Parker’s body may have been weighted and sunk.

Parker was taken from the un- guarded jail in the pre - dawn hours by 15 or 20 men.

Five terrified Negro prisoners watched the kidnapping under the harsh warning to “keep your mouth shut.” The raiding party took the cell key from Sheriff Moody’s empty office, but needed directions from other prisoners to open Parker's cell.

Chinese Seal Escape Route

HONG KONG (Reuters) — A leading political officer of Com- munist China’s army says the rebel Tibetans’ escape route into India has been sealed off by: Chi- nese troops.

Gen. Fu Chung, deputy chief to the army’s political depart- ment, told the Chinese National People’s Congress in Peiping Sat- urday that rebels will find them- selves “in a blind alley” if they flee.

His speech was quoted by the New China news agency amid re- ports of renewed hostility and suspicion in mainland China over efforts by Prime Minister Nehru of India to smooth out the Chi- nese-Tibetan dispute.

Fu also warned the Tibetas rebels $till holding out in the mountains to surrender er be wiped out.
