Hereafter, the department itself will determine—under a classifi- cation system—aoceptatble barter outlets or comitries. ofificials said that under the old system, emort- ers often had difficulty securing statements from foreign govern- ments that barter deals would not supplant normal commercial and dollar transactions.

As a consequence, barter tran- sactions had dwindled conmder- ably in recent months. _

The strategic materials—Awhich which will be put in the national supplemental swckpilo—einclude: abrasives, antimony, asbestos, bauxite, beryl, bismuth, cad- mium, chromite, columbite, cryo- lite, diamonds and bort, ferro- chroime, fluorspa-r, lead, mangan- ese, mercury, mica, nickel, plai- ladium, quartz crystals, ruthen- ium, selenium, silicon carbide, tantalite, tin and zinc.

Farm surpluses eligible tor barter were listed as cotton, tob- acco, rice, wheat, corn, oats, bar- ley, sorghum grain, butter, and non-fat dry milk.

Sentenced In Prison

VANCOUVER (CPI—A former British Columbia cabinet minis- ter and the men convicted of passing him bribes were each sentenced Friday to five years in prison.

Robert E. Sommers, 47, who sat on the highest councils of the province as minister of lands and

_ forests, will serve his term in

nearby Oakalla Prison Farm. So will H. Wilson Gray, the 46-year- old timber executive and father of six.

There was no im. iediite word about appeals.

Starting sharply at the accused as they sat grim—faced in the prisoner's dock, Mr. Justice J. 0. Wilson of the Supreme Court of BC. told them:

“I do not enjoy hitting men when they are down, as both of you men are . . . the jury, not I, has found you both scoundrels.

BEFOUL ATMOSPHERE

“The evidence on which that finding must be based reveals that both of you have befouled the political and moral atmos- phere of this province for a per- iod of many years, resorting to every sort and shape of device to conceal your iniquities.

“The harm you, Summers, have done to our traditional respect for government will, I hope, be slight, because, thank God, the sort of behavior of which you have been convicted is not just exceptional but unique in our po- litical history."

It was a dramatic climax to the longest criminal case in Cama- dian history. Changes that Som- mers was bribed to use his influ- ence in graduating forest man- agement licences on Crown land date back almost thr. . years.

During the day a three-truck American army convoy was held 81/2 hours outside Berlin by Rus- sian soldiers. This was the first such harassment since Khrush- chev demanded Monday that Western troops pull out of West Berlin.

By THOMAS P. WHITNEY WASHINGTON (AP) — Nikita Khrushchev has take. the wraps off his economic timetable for licking the United States.

The Soviet premier and Com- munist party chieftain, in pre- senting his thesis for the let Communist party congress in Moscow set 1970 as the year for

Soviet eclipse of ‘he United States as the world‘s No. 1 in- dustrial power.

And it follows, from the Soviet way of thinking, that on this ba- sis the Soviet Union will have taken over world political lead- ership by then as well.

The Khrushchev plans make up a document testifying the very real possibilities and potentialit- ies of the Soviet Union in eco- nomic development.

NEW SEVEN-YEAR PLAN

They advance a new seven- yeair plan for Soviet economic de- velopment from 1959 through 1966 which would, if realized, put the U.S.S.R. within striking distance of OVENS!“ the United States tn economic might in five addi- tional years.

nomy.

The Soviet program, which en- visages an til-percent boost in gross industrial output by 1965, will lean on a new labor force of millions of schoolage youths.

WORK WHILE LEARNING Linked to his seven-year plan. Khrushchev has developed a “work white you learn" program that will cut deeply ii '0 the edu- cation period of Soviet children. It will give many of them more work in factories and on farms and less time in the classrooms. The resulting manhours of la- bor will contribute substanle to the Kremlin’s seven-year in- dustrial program.

The premier promised the aver- age man and woman of the So- viet Union that eventually theirs would be the highest standard of living in the world.

He said major industrial pro- grams still must come first and heavy industry will must form the keystone of Soviet endeavor.
