‘TASS TAKES SHARP SWIPE AT U.S. FOR EXPORT OFFER
MOSCOW (AP) —- The of- ficial Soviet news agency Tass took a sarcastic swipe at the United States Monday for of- fering unlimited exports to the Soviet Union of rat poi- son, rags. pigeon feed and i chewing gum.
Tass said the U.S. is guided by special rules in trading with Russia and divides U.S. commodities into three groups —one banned for export. a second comprising commodi- ties which the U.S. makes hard to get and a third group which the U.S. will sell freely but which the Russians will hardly buy.
Referring to the last group,
ass correspondent Valentin Vasliets wrote:
"What doe the United States—a big industrial power shouting from the house tops about freedom of trade—offer for sale to another big indus- trial power?"
“There is a list. 26 pages of compact printed text. drawn up with amazing cir- cumstances. For instance, American manufacturers are allowed freely to sell to the Soviet Union rags. cuts from pieces of waste an new, old and second - hand civilian clothing.
“The United States does not place any obstacles on the sale of rat poison. This is very humanitarian. Nor is grain to feed pigeons placing on the strategic goods list.
“Chewing gum is also safe strategically. . _ ."
ass commentary con- cluded by saying it would be interesting to know what pro- posals the U.S. will prepare for the forthcoming world trade conference.
"Perhaps." Tass said. “the list of goods for unrestricted trade will be increased by adding last year's snow or
e holes from doughnuts."
The government would have further consultation with the provinces about the side effects of railway abandonment on pro- vinclal economies. A parliamen- tary committee would hear rep- resentations about the effect of abandonments on railway work- ers.

Hanging Preparations Halt
As Sheriff Hears Of Appeal
VANCOUVER (CP) -— Pre- parations for hanging of David James McMartin at midnight were suddenly cancelled Mon- day when Sheriff Frank Cotton suddenly found out the con- lvicted man has an appeal pend- ng.
Sheriff Cotton said he had completed preliminary arrange- ments. even to bringing a hang- man here before he got word from appeal court officials. He cancelled the arrangements and sent the hangman back to Mont- real. The family of McMartln heard a news report that all was in readiness for the hang- ing of their 31-year-old son. con- victed of the axe-slaying of Mrs.
Sally Bob, 36. in interior Lillooet last October.
They telephoned their lawyer. The lawyer telephoned the court house. Appeal court officials quickly got in touch with Cot- on.
Vancouver court officials ex- plained that w'th a change in the Criminal Code making ap- peals automatic in capital mur- der conviction cases, it is not new standard procedure to not- ify all persons concerned that there was an appeal McMartin's appeal has been filed with the appeal court here since Jan. 2. It was scheduled for hearing Friday but was de- layed because of a crowded court schedule.
Chevrier Says Time Is Ripe Revision Of Constitution

Mr. Chevrier. in a speech prepared for delivery on a free-
tlme political program on the CBC's French' television net- work, said the constitution does not guarantee the. rights of French-speaking Canadians in the country as a whole and con- sequently must be revised.

Liberals are unanimous on the necessity of an inquiry and ‘9): the urgency of revising Confed- eration if we want to save it}:
Article 133 of ' North America allowed French to be used in Parlia- ment, the Quebec legislature and the courts and required'tbe publication of all federal and Quebec laws and legislative proceedings in both French and English.
“That is insufficient,“ he said. “Article 133 limits our rights and consecrates the prin- ciple of the Quebec reserve tion.” a reference to the theory that Confederation has made Quebec into a sort of sanctuaiy for French-speaking Canadians. 1 One of every five French- Ispeaking Canadian lives outside .Quebec. he said. “in j‘Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba ‘or on the Pacific coast."
