Nassau. Only this August he transferred to the Canadian Bank of Commerce. He had

visited his parents about five weeks ago. .

TWo state officials and other witnesses told the state pardons board at a hearing earlier this month that .Kizzee was feeble- minded and he drew the death sentence because of racial preju- dice.

“Had he been a white boy,” state Senator William Moore told the board, “he would not have gotten the chair.” State Agricul- ture Commissioner John White gave similar testimony.

Iceland Looks For No Serious Fishing Trouble

OSLO, Norway (Reutersl—Ice- land’s A m ba 5 sador Haraldur Gudmun'lsson said Wednesday he does not expect any serious in cidents on the fishing banks off Iceland when the new 12-mi1e fishery limits come into force Sunday.

Gurlmundsson told a press con- ference Iceland would have pre- ferred to extend the fishing limits to .12 miles from four through an international conven- tion.

“But as all our efforts in (this dir .tion during the last 10 years have been in vain, we could not wait any longer because our very

» existence depends on the fish-

eries," he said.

A fleet of British fishing ves- sels now is heading for the Ice- land fishing grounds under Royal Navy escort. They have said they will ignore the 12-mile limit as being contrary to ‘nternational law.

The ambassador refused to an- swer questions aboutwhat coun- ter measures — if any —- the Ice- landic government is considering tankinggagainst the trawler-s.

OTTAWA (CPl—The tumultous public accounts committee Wed- nesday erulplt’ed into a HEIW up- roar amid charges of “McCarthy- ihm" plus a Liberal boycott of some of the sessions.

The day’s episode of Parlia-

brought shouts of “rubbish,” “silly” and “nonsense” as the parliamentarians continued bois- terous wrangling.

These- were aimed by Progres- sive Conservatives at fiery Har- old Winch, CCF member for Van- couver East, when he charged that some Conservatives were using tactics like those of the late Communist-hunting Senator Joseph McCarthy of the United States.

LIBERALS STAY AWAY ’

Meanwhile, the Liberals ab- stained almost entirely from the committee’s two daytime sittings after Liberal Leader Pearson an- nounced a boycott on the grow-Ii that members could not effec- tively attend to their duties in the Commons with all the com- mittee meetings.

In the scrap at the day‘s first session, Mr. Winch accused Da- vid Walker (PC—Toronto Rose- dale) and Richard A. Bell (PC—- Carleton) of “persecuting” wit- nesses. 7

, Mr. Bell denied, it.

J. W. Murphy (PC—Lambton West- suggested that Winch, chief spokesman for the CCF group on the committee, should be put off the committee.

Mr. Winch retorted that the committee should be finding facts and not "sniping, sneering and jeerin-g."

“Put a new needle on," Ml. Murphy rejoined. »

Mr. Winch also turned his fire on the Liberal members of the committee, none of whom was present at the time. He accused them of trying to "stall" the com- mittee‘s investigation into expen- ditures on the bureau, built dur- ing the former Liberal adminis- tration.

IN CONTEMPT

John Drysdale (PC—Burnaby- Ric‘hmond) also turned some heat on the eight Liberal mem- bers of the committee by sug- gesting they should be labelled as in contempt of Parliament un- less they presented stronger rea- sons for absenting themselves.

Sessions‘

John Pratt of Montreal Jacques Cartier-Lassie got into a tangle with Ernest Conmier, the 72-year- old Montreal architect who de- signed the bureau ouilding in nearby Hull, Que.

Mr. Pratt, an architect, said that architectural drawings of the plant previously presented to the committee “are phony exhibits.” Mr. Pratt is an architect.

“He's not an archiect at _all," Mr. Cormien stormed at one stage of the Montreal member‘s questioning. Later, Mr. Cormier retracted this.

NOT PROPER PLANS

Mr. Cormier agreed that.‘ the

plans produced before the com-

mittee were not the kind on‘

which tenders for contracts could be called.

With only the plans produced thus far by Mr. Countier, the MP said, he could see no use in the committee carrying on its study.

“It would be nothing more than a farce."

Mr. Pratt said that some important details were missing from some of the plans and “in my opinion it’s padding.”

“That’s very unfair," Mr: Cor:

mier said. “I would be very curi- ous to see in your files the kind of drawings you have."

Mr. Pratt suggested that, by the letting out of dihferent con- tracts for the 'excavat-ion of the bureau site and for the building‘s foundations, the way would have been opened for a contractor to “jack up" his price.

“Not at all." Mr. Cormler said. The different jobs required dif- ferent equipment and skills

Mackerel Prices

YARMOUTH. N.S. (OP) Small catches and a big New- foundland market for bait uave boosted the pound price of her- ring and small mackerel. ,

A second boat is expected to arrive here this week for a cargo of fish to provide hard-(pressed Newfoundland f i she rmen with bait. Fishermen here said the un- identified craft would probably take on about 200,000 pounds.

The Polar Star, a Norwegian sealing ship, left here for New" foundland a week ago with~75,- 000 pounds of bait fish. It was distributed to the Newfoundland fleet during the weekend.

Some bait buyers were re- parted paying $3.50 a barrel for the fish. compared with the nor- mal $2.75. Processors said their supplies were below normal last Week because local fishermen were taking advantage of the higher price for bait.
