Prince Edward Island .. sldents who were beginning to think that old Man Winter was losing his annual battle with the forces of spring. received an unexpected shock when they awakened yes- terdsy morning to find the Prov- ince reeling under the onslaught a post-season blizzard.

Driven by a bowling north-west gale gusting at times to over 50 miles per hour. the 8-inch snow- fall piled railldly into drifts. which by morning had blocked most pro- vincial highways and obliterated every trace of winter's recent re-

treat.

Attempting. to negotiate the high- ways in the face of the worsening storm. man! found them- selves snowbound and were forced to either abandon their vehicles, or remain in them for the night.

BONN (AP)-The 15 NATO for- elgn ministers agreed Thursday that the Western allies must base their defence against potential Communist attack on a balance between conventiunai and nuclear weapons.

Even such avowed advocates of atomic deterrent as Britain's Sel- wyn Lloyd stressed the need for both conventional and atomic wea- pons.

A summary of closed-door for- eign i ' council sessions was reported by NATO'a briefing offl- cer. He said there was no dia- agreement among the ministers on the need for a balanced defence.

External Affairs Minister Pear- son. heading a strong Canadian delegation. is expected to speak briefly today.

U.S. State Secretary Dulles as- sured the ministers the United states has no intention of backing down on its NATO commltrnent . Including five full divisions in West Germany.

WOULD BE FOLLY

Dulles said "it would be folly for us to weaken our defences more on the basis of Soviet promises. '

If the Russians do not like the NATO alliance strengthening its military position. Dulles said. the best way for them to change that is to accept some limitations of armaments.

The ministers also took up the critical Middle East problem. but they instructed the briefing officer to report nothing about what they had said.

It was evident. however. that Dulles had ladies to use minis- ters thlt the Uni States is not

Democratic Harry S- Truman sought to brush him aside as. in Truman's words. a pathological case. Republican Dwight D.
