-_ GENEVA (Reuters)-Britain’s attorney-general said Tuesday a proposal by Canada to extend its territorial waters to 12 miles for fishing purposes would be “ex- tpemely injurious" to British in- terests.

Reginald Manningham-Buller, attending an 85-country “law of the sea” conference, told a press- conference Britain will oppose any move to extend the present general three-mile limit.

The. conference, which opened Monday, was called by the United Nations to attempt international agreement on maritime law.

Manningham-Buller said there is full agreement between Canada and Britain over the principle of retaining the three-mile limit.

Eisenhower Calls Foreign Aid Program ”Common Sense”

The president spoke at a dinner attended by national representa- tives of the Democratic and Re- publican parties and Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish lead- ers.

Eisenhower said opposition to the aid program “is based on slo- gans, prejudices, penny - wise economy and above all. an out- right refusal to ‘look at the ‘world "of 1958 as it really is.”

“What the ostrich-like oppo- nents of mutual security seem to be saying,” he added, "is ‘bil- lions for armament, but not one cent for peace!’ ”

Missile lost After Firing

CAPE C-ANAVERAL. Fla. (AP) The last of the U.S. Air Force’s Navaho missiles exploded shortly after launching Tuesday.

The ramjet - poered ° m,i-ssile as launched at about 1:22 p.m. p.m. AST, rose a few thousaiid feet, then started falling.-

Mere seconds before striking the earth it exploded, possibly from a signal transmitted by the range safety officer.

From an observation post 1% miles away, it could not be de- termined whether the missile felt on land or in the water.

The air force had disclosed that this ould -be the last of its series of five test Navahos.

The Navaho program as can. celled last July because of the rapid development of intercontin- ental ballistic missiles which could, deliver heavier loads at much greater speeds.

\ GREAT MUSICIAN

Joseph Haydn, the great Aus- trian composer, was s chorister in Vienna at age 12.

Yesterday's snowstorm brought all motor traffic to a standstill in West Prince and caused vary- ing degrees of trouble to the travelling public in other parts of the province.

From Alberton it was learned last night that a foot of snow had fallen, and that all roads in the area had been closed about nine o’clock.’

Traffic was reported to be moving slcwely later in the evening behind snow plows, but later reports indicated that the roads closed in again shortly after the plows went through, leaving traffic halted onceagain.

Here in Charlottetown about five and one-half inches of snow had fallen by midnight, accord- ing to advice from the Depart- ment of Transportfs meterologi- cal station at the airport. There was about one-tenth of an inch of rainfall sandwiched in be- tween the snow falls.

Roads outside of Charlotte- town were filling in early in. the afternoon where the drift- ing snow _crossed the, highway. Some of the side roads were

blocked and traffic was moving

slowly and with difficulty ' on others although it was difficult to get a clear overall picture at midnight.

The heaviest wind during the afternoon and evening «came about eight o’clock when it was gusting as high as 30 miles per hour, although it was

OTTAWA (CP) — A murder charge has been laid against an Eskimo woman following a weird Arctic drama involving the fatal kuifing of an Eskimo man, the shooting of another and the death of one of two children buried in snow.

The second child survived her ordeal after being entombed for about 30 hours wrapped in skins. The outside temperature at the time was about 30 below.

RCMP headquarters announced Tuesday the woman, Kikkik, was charged with murder before Jus- tice of the Peace Douglas Wilkin- son at Eskimo Point on the west shore of Hudson Bay, about 800 miles north of Winnipeg.

PARIS '(AP)—Foreigh Minister Christian Pineau said Tuesday night U.S. Middle East policy has been a long succession of failures and false moves. .

He spoke in the Council of the Republic (Senate) du-ring debate on Tunisia where the United States and Britain are -trying to smooth the bitter French-Tuni- sian crisis.

Pineau cited four cases where he said U.S. policy toward the Arab world hurt the long-range interests of the West.

He said 11 each case France had ‘c o u n s el e d Washngton against such action. The four cases cited were:.

1. The Baghdad ‘Pact, which links, Britain, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan in a so-called north- ern tier alliance against commu- nism. I

“A second error — and one more grave—committed by the Americans was to prevent us from following through and fin- ishing the Suez operation," Pineau said.

3. The Eisenhower plan of of- fering aid to Middle East nations -to combat Communist aggression. Pineau did not explain why he thought this was a mistake. Pre- sumably he meant it has failed to attract Egypt and Syria from dependence on Communist arms.

Top German - Physicist May Have Answer To Puzzle

GOETTINGEN, Germany (CP) Germany’s leading physicist has announced a discovery which may provide the answer to one of the greatest puzzles remaining in man’s progress through nat-ure’s secrets.

Prof. Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Prize winner, said in a lec- ture Monday he and his asso- ciates have developed a mathe- matical equation from which the structure of the cosmos might be explained.

Heisenberg’s research is aimed at achieving the fabled “unified field,” the object of which is to explain why natural phenomena such as light, heat, electricity, gravity‘ and nuclear energy be- have as they do—and explain them in a single theory.
