Eisenhower Considers Talks With Russia Almost Useless

By JOHN SCALI

WASHINGTON (AP) Pres- ident Eisenhower said Wednesday any talks with Russia would be aimost useless until Premier Khrushchev changes his refusal to consider Western proposals for easing Berlin tensions.

Eisenhower coupled with this remark a renewed notice that the West will stand firm in Berlin despite Russia's threat to end four-power rule in the divided

fllogical, no-concessions attitude. Eisenhower. said it imperils hope

of establishing a just peace.

“The United States has always made clear.” he said, “we are always ready to negotiate wher the other person will give us thé slightest area or region in which to negotiate.

“But if there is to be a positive and a negative answer to give to amy question before you’ do at- tempt to negotiate, then I can't see very well, very much use for conferences.”

Eisenhower said it would be a grave mistake to convene a sum- mit conference, as Khrushchev demanded Tuesday, without ade-

quate preparation.

submitted . would fail House rules, the Premier obser- ved. Question No. 12 placed on the order paper by Dr. Dewar gave particular offense, though obviously not written by the member from Second Prince, he said.

The first part of this question was simply a statement, and could in no way be construed as a question. Later he pointed out that expert parliamentarians had ruled that improper fram- ing of one part of a question in- validated the whole question.

Filiowing the Premier's re marks, the Speaker, Hon. E. P. Foley, warned members that all questions were subject to his of- ficial scrutiny and might be re- jected if not framed in confor- mity with the rules.

According to Beauchesne’s par- liamentary Rules and Forms (1958) a question asked while a legislative body was in session

Anti-Alcohol Education Urged By F. A. Large, Q.C.

Education of the youth on the problems of alcohol was strongly urged by F.A. Large Q.C. (Lib Ist Queens) speaking on the draft address yesterday.

- The _ Charlottetown lawyer thanked the government for their support of the various groups active in the field of tem- perance education but reminded the House that “‘The question of strengthening our efforts in ed- Weating the teen-agers, is one which should be stressed con- ' stantly and supported wherever

possible.

He said, the matter of anti- alcohol education is becoming in- creasingly the concern of our people. not only in Prince Ed- ward Island but in many parts of Canada.

CAUSE FOR CONCERN

“There is well founded worry that all the propaganda is com who will profit

ON THE INCREASE

Nin other provinces,

the drink were increasing leaps and bounds. He said a ceptions where alcohol is serv- ed gratuously by large corpora- tions are now the accepted thing and the person who speaks against the increased use of alcohol ig becoming rarer and rarer. To indicate the concern with which this problem is being met Mr. Large referréd to the work being done by the Alcohol Research Founda- tion in Ostario and the fact that the Minister of Health in Quebec has announced that his depart- ment ‘is considering the possibil- ity of including training‘on the curriculum of the er. public schools. Large referred to the or- ation of a group in Nova Seotia known as “‘Allied Youth”. He had learned that during Christmas vacation this past year, 27 high schools were re- presented by 400 young people at a convention held in Truro. He said the program of this organ- ization .is non-sectarian and seeks to present an effective program for youth activities which deals with the effects of alcohol as a beverage.

Three Shining Saucers

Puzzle Airli

DETROIT (AP)—The pilot of an American Airlines DC-6 pas- senger plane reported Wednes- day that three mysterious objects that looked like shining saucers appeared to accompany the plane for 4 minutes Tuesday night on its flight from Newark, N.J., to Detroit.

Capt. Peter Killian of Syosset, N.Y., who has flown passenger planes for 15 years, said ‘I have} never seen anything like it be- fore.”

Killian said other members of the crew and the 35 passengers also saw the flying objects. The |

plane left Newa 710 p.m. Killian and ilot John Dee of Nyack, N.W, said they lost

the three strange objects in the haze oyer Cleveland, Ohio.

The three bright whitish lights first were sighted while the plane was flying at 8,500 feet at 8:45 p.m.

Budget Speech Outlines View

TORONTO (CP) — Ontario has staked a bigger claim on federal

The demand was made Wed- nesday in the Ontario legislature as Provincial Treasurer. Allan brought down a record $990,000,- 000 budget forecasting higher ex- ipenditures on health, highways and education.

The meeting was at a stone home in the snow-covered coun- tryside at Uspenskoye, .25 miles southwest of Moscow. The Rus- sians turned it over to Macmillan for the duration of his 10-day good will mission.

REPORTERS BARRED

Westérn reporters were barred and photographers authorized to make the trip were not permitted to see how Macmillan and Khru- sfichev greeted each other. Later the leaders posed briefly.

The conference substituted for an elk hunt originally planned for Macmilian’s entertainment.

A British delegation spokesman said Macmillan, wearied by a long “inspection tour Tuesday of the Russians’ Dubna atomic re- search centre, was somewhat re- freshed by a walk in the woods with Lloyd this mording.

“But he still has a cold and it’s no good pretending he is 100 per cent fit.”’ the spokesman said.
