MONTREAL (GP) — Railway firemen are seeking federal con- ciliation in their dispute with Ca- nadian National Railways over the use of helpers on yard and freight diesels..

The union move is the latest step in a prolonged dispute over the future of diesel firemen.

The issue provoked a nine-day strike 13hmon-ths ago when the CPR tried to eliminate firemen from yard and freight diesels.

W. E. Gamble of Montreal, Ca- nadian vice-president of the 9,000-

It reached a deadlock Tuesday after two negotiating sessions. 1

In one of the court’s strongest public statements in recent years, Mr. Justice Roach said anyone with a loaded weapon who threatens to rob is “a potential murderer.”

WINNIPEG (CP) -— Lazy_ stu- dents in Winnipeg high schools who habitually neglect homework and fail examinations may be ex- pelled.

A. resolution‘ establishing this policy was passed Tuesday night by the Winnipeg school board.

It provides for reports to the board of any laggards, 16 years and over, followed by warnings‘, advice and a two-month proba- tionary period. After this they may be expelled for the remain- der of the term.-if they do not buckle down to classroomwork or if their conduct is considered prejudicial to school welfare.

G. T. Macponell, assistant superintendent, said the tuling will affect about , 107 students, mostly boys. Of these about 27 are likely to'be expelled because they will not reform. The. Winni- peg school district has more than 5,000’ high school. students, almost all'16 years or older.

TALKS HELP YOUNGEST

The problem in lower grades is met by conferences with parents, by trying to interest pupils in a special course and getting at the attitude before it becomes a habit. Similar methods are used in high schools but the problem Iis more difficult to resolve.

School trustee Joseph Zuken bitterly opposed the plan and said throwing students out is not an act of courage and will not solve ‘the problem- He said some teach- ers are “indolent and indifferent” and much of the counselling in schools is weak.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) —_Israel warned Iraqi troops Wednesday against approaching its border.

Asked about the federation pro- claimed Feb. 14 Ben-Gurion said: “There is some worry since Iraq even refused to conclude an armistice a g r e e in e n t with Israel.” .

Iraq, unlike Jordan, hasn't a common border with Israel; Jor- dan was one of the Arab nations to sign an armistice after the 1948 hostilities. ’

When Ben-Gurion was asked about the United Arab Republic proclaimed Feb. 1, he retorted: “We already see it h at ;the Egyptian-Syrian union is aimed to destroy Israel.”

Nevertheless, he reaffirmed his willingness to meet with the re- public’s new chief, President Gamal Abdel Nasser.

STONY PLAIN, Alta. (CP)—— Lester Pearson told this Alberta farming community Wednesday it would be “pretty close to the front lines” if a third “and last” world-war broke out. i

The Liberal leader said he agreed farmers_ have not shared in the general post-war prosper- ity.

He hoped to offer some solu- tions but wanted to be “pretty sure of what I am saying” be- fore he put any forward. He didn't want to make promises he could not fulfill and he did not want to get farmers producing surpluses which could not be sold.

But more important than the farmers’ cost-price squeeze and uneiiiployment was peace, for without peace, “nothing else would matter very much."

Freight Rate Boosts I Are Deferred 2 More ‘Months

Teleplione yRcite Hikes In Ont. And Que. IncIucIeoI.

OTTAWA (CP) — Proposed na- tional increases.in freight rates and in Ontario - Quebec phone rates have been given a second deferral until May 1. '

Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s»

office announced Wednesday two- month extensions have been or- dered in the original suspensions until March 1.

The suspended increases are a

general freight rate boost for the .

railways and a rate adjustments for Bell Telephone Company on local and long distance services in Ontario and Quebec.

The increases are being put off further “to make it possible for the government to hear and come to a decision upon the appeals that have been made against these increases," the announce- ment said.

No dates for‘ hearings were mentioned, and Mr. Diefenbaker said to reporters he did not know when they would beheld. V

The ‘prime minister was cam- paigning in Quebec province Wed- nesday. fl

APPEALS BROUGHT ACTION

Both sets of increases were awarded by the board of trans- port commissioners a n d sus- pended by the cabinet on appeals.

The government has announced there will be cabinet hearings on the two issues but the ministers have been campaigning for the March 31 election.

The freight rate increase, auth- orized by the board Dec. 27 to be effective J.an.'15,,was for a 3.6-

Sudan Begins

KHARTOUM, The Sudan (Reu- ters) — The Sudan starts voting today in its first parliamentary election as an indeptndent state with little difference between platforms and only tepid enthu- siasm.

As the campaign by more than 600 candidates entered its final stage, the country was distracted by Egypt’s sudden claim to areas on the northern frontier.

Only the voting Jwill show whether this has influenced the balance between the two main parties —- the National Unionists, who favor close ties with Egypt, and Umma, strongly nationalistic.

Observers believe Unionist sup- porters who swung to Umma when the Egyptians made their claim have gone back to the Un- ionists now that Egypt was post- poned consideration of the dispute until after the election.

Drums in the largely negroid and pagan south and the blaring of loudspeakers on hired taxis in the predominantly Arab and M05- ilem north accompanied the final campaigning.

per-cent - general increase esti- mated to be worth about $15,000.- 000 a year to the railways. -

The cabinet Jan. 7 held it up un-

til March 1 after it had been ap- pealed by all provinces except On- tario and Quebec. ’ The telephone increase - $10,- 300,000 a year or an average three per cent on Bell’s annual revenues in Ontario and Quebec —was awarded by the transport board Jan. 10. It was to have been effective Jan. 31.

It was suspended by the cabinet Jan. 24 following an appeal by 36 municipalities. F

The main ground taken by the appealing groups in both cases was the board allowance of a de- ferred income tax fund which companies were al 1 o w e d to cha-rge up against current freight revenue and telephone charges.

The Canadian Pacific Railway was allowed such 3. fund. now about $12,250,000 a year. T119 CPR is used by the board as the “yardstick” for irate-setting.
