BONN (Reuters)—The Bunde- . gtag Friday erupted in anger for , the second day running as opposi- i lion socialists battled to bar nu- [ clear weapons from West Ger- » many.

Chancellor Konr-ad Adenauer repeated his declaration, first made Thursday at the start of a foreign affaim debate in par- liament, that West Germany would scuttle the power of the Atlantic Pact if it refused under any circumstances to arm itself with nuclear weapons.

All but a few of the Ohrristian Democrats walked out of the chamber Thursday when a Social

Democrat compared the govern- T?’ ment’s arguments in favor of the nuclear ~deterrent“-to Nazi Josef

Goebbels’ call for “total war."

DEBATE DRAGGED ON

Heated socialist opposition to prospects of arming the West German army with atomic and rocket weapons dragged the de- bate beyond its scheduled limit.

SINGAPORE (AP)—-The Indo- nesian army claimed Friday that it has 300 rebels trapped against a lakeshore in north Sumatra am! that rebel forces are being {whittled down by death and de- sertion.

The revolutionary regime, on the other hand, announced over its radio at Bulk-ittinggi that it has formed a fledgling navy and put it into action against a govern- ment blockade.

A rebel leader also charged that Soviet ships have arrived at Jakarta, c a p it al of President Sukarno, with arms shipments for the government forces.

Detect More Soviet Tests

WASHINGTON (AP)—The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Fri- day night announced the detec- tion of two more Soviet nuclear weapons tests.

“The first occurred Thursday at the usual Siberian testing grounds and the second Friday, north of the Artie Circle,” the AEC said. It added:

“The energy yield of the for- mer was small and of the second in a larger range.”

The Russians have been con- ducting a test series in both areas that began about a month ago. Japanese scientists reported Feb. 24 that the Russians had ex- ploded a hydrogen bomb in the Siberian Arctic.

NEW YORK (AP)—The most damaging snow storm in years tapered off along the United States eastern seaboard Friday night after two days of unabated fury. Up to three feet of snow buried some sections.

In eastern Pennsylvania the snow damage was the worst in 40 years. The area was placed under a st-ate of emergency as the storm slowed everyday life to a crawl. .

More than 40 deaths from heart attacks, exposure, electrocution and traflfic accidents resulted from the storm and high winds that accompanied it. Damage ran into the millions of dollars.

Mr. Myers Explains Absence From Legislature Thursday

In an interview yesterday, Mil‘. Frank Myers (P. C. First Queens) said he resented the. implication made by Premier Matheson that Opposition mem- bers were more interested in election campaigning tha in at- tending the session of the House.

The Conservative member was making reference to a statement made in the Legislature by the Premier last Thursday immedi- ately before he moved a sudden adjournment for the weekend.

Mr. Myers in speaking for himself only, stated that he had left the House to attend an im-

portant committee meeting which had been called by the Provincial Treasurer, Hon. B. Earle Mac- Donald.

After attending the meeting, Mr. Myers said he was -surprised on his return to the Chamber, to find that the House had adjourned until Monday.

As stated in yesterday’s report of the adjournment, Mr. Myers wascredited with being in his seat for the first half hour of the House proceedings. The missing members were Opposition Lea-

der, R. R. Bell, Leo Rossiter and Dr. L. G. Dewar.

Law Of Sea Conference Seems Headed

For Rocks

. Extent OI Territorial Wafers Proves Big Snag

GENEVA (Reuters) — The world conference onthe law of the sea here appeared Friday to be headed for the rocks, its mem- bers unable to agree c meas- ures to define the extent of ter- tutorial waters-.

The same issue also caused the Hague conference of 1930 to founder. .

The conference Friday voted 46 to 16—with Russia and the Com- munist nations of Eastern Eu- rope opposed—to postpone until March 31 detailed discussions of draft rules for fixing the extent of territorial waters. The post- ponement was made to give members extra time to seek a compromise, but their positions are so far apart that observers feel there is little chance of their agreeing on an effective settle- ment within the next 10 days.

Without such agreement, vir- tually nothing can be done with the other 72 draft articles, which include the question of air space over territorial waters, the judi- cial status of territorial waters and the right of innocent pas- sage.

WANT 3-MILE LIMIT

The United States, Britain and France lead powers favoring the three-mile limit as ‘the legal ex- tent of territorial waters.

Sweden, Norway, and Finland recognized a four - mile limit, while India, Ceylon, Yugoslavia and Greece are among countries claiming six miles. -

Russia, her Eastern European allies and Egypt and Indonesia claim 12 miles. In addition, In-

to draw a line around its entire archipelago of 3,000 islands to in- clude all the waters within.

Canada supports the three-mile limit, but with acceptance of a 12 - mile zone over which the coastal state could exercise con- trol of fisheries.

And at the extreme end, there are some South American re- publics which claim up to 200 miles.

T00 COSTLY

The United States maintains it would be extremely costly to ex- tend the present limit to 12 miles. To do so, it said, would be to add an extra $180,000,000 a year to the present cost of patrolling the three-mile limit.

Britain is against Canada’s proposal because it would cut Britain off from her principal fishing grounds around the coast of Iceland. The result would be a 50-per-«cent drop in the country's "deep-sea fishing catch.

With regard to fishing interests, the major development has been Canada’s proposal, which still would leave her without jurisdic- tion over much of the Newfound- land grand banks and other im- portant fishing areas. _

The Canadian proposal has found support from a number of other countries, among them Nor- way, Iceland, Ireland and Aus- tralia.'It also appears to be gain- ing further support from such Asiatic countries as India.
