Can Do Better

when he Jumped out of the steaming cockpit at the airport this afternoon Lithgow said, "We can certainly improve on today's speed." He said he would take the Swift out again Saturday and go even faster. '

He had to fly the cigar-shaped. stubby little fighter at least 734.076

miles an hour to take the laurels away from Duke. Duke piloted his Hawker Hunter to 727.6 mph, but international regulations demand one per cent in excess of that speed.

hgow made the record in four lightning passes over the three- kiiometre course set up along a scorching-hot road through the Libyan desertnear here.

Royal Aero Club observers im- mediately went to work to calcu- late the plane's exact speed, and several hours later announced the victory for Lithgow and the Vic- kcrs-Arrnstrong Company which manufactures the Swift.

A Tense Moment

Lithgow said the teiisest moment came when his face-mask filled up with sweat and he had to take a hand off the controls to rip it away while he thundered low over the colirse.

"I was very hot," he said. "The mask filled with sweat so I was unable to breathe."

He said the temperature on the course was 102 and the air "quite bumpy... .

A spotted a camel train crossing the desert and "they were all in line when I hit the course, but scattered when I ieft."

Lithgow flew the course at a height of 130 feet-well under the 100 metres (300 feet) maximum stipualted by record rules.

Russia To End Aid To Rebels

By MEL BUFRIIN Canadian Press Staff Writer

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.. (CP)e I"rance has proposed that the four- thcomlng Korean peace conference be extended to include negotiations for ending the war in Indo-China and.that India be invited to take part in any general discussions aimed at bringing peace to Asia.

Maurice Schurmann, deputy for- eign affairs minister, Friday called on Russia and Communist China, the two countries supplying arms to the Vletiminh rebels in Indo- Chiiia. in help negotiate an end to the war which has seriously drained French resources during the last eight years.

should Prove Hints

”Certain unofficial declarations might have led to the thought that the two powers which, from the outside, inspire and arm the Viet- mlnh rebels were disposed to con- sider the opening of negotiations in put an end 10 this war." Schu- mniln told the B0-member United Nation General Assembly.

”It remains for them (Russia and Red China) to prove that these ambiguous hints are not mere propaganda, and that, correspond- ing to the: desire for peace many times expressed by the French government. a no less sincere de- sire exists in the opposite camp.

"Negotiations - which for ex- ample. might be opened in the course of. or following upon the political conference on Korea, and which would have as their object the end of aggression in Indo- Ohina-would make it possible to look forward in the return nf more normal conditions nf international relations in Asia."

Agrees with Pearson

Schumann expressed French

Qgpnt with the ganadian at- lti e 'on Korean reunification out- lfairs Minister Pearson,

"This unification of Korea may be sought only by pacific means; and this freedom of the Koreans, as the Canadian minister of for- eign affairs recalled two. days ago. can be assured only under a demo- cratic governiiicnt born of freely conducted elections. under the nu!- piece of the United Nations."

Other Points

Discussing other world lems, Schuonann:

1. Suggested limited reduction 01' armament with controls as a ”mod-y est" first step toward general dis- armament.

2. Relterated French contention that the UN has no right to dis- cuss Frances handlang of its North African territories.

3. Said France hopes there will be it conference of the major pow- ers soon to reach agreement on an Austrian peace treaty and a means of unifying Germany,

4. Rcafilrmed French interest in the establishment of a European Community and maintained there is no rcnson in think that such 5' community would constitute sl threat to the Russian sphere, ,
