garding the statements of Con. Foster was read by Mayor Johnstone. Conn. Gaudet said, “there was considerably con- fusion created in the minds of the public regarding the relative- ly simple resolutions passed at Monday night’s meeting.

"The public got the theft and the retirements all wrapped up in one bundle."

Coun. Gormley said that in the ten years he had been in the Council once a.ma.-tter had been disposed of in Council it was dropped and not referred to again. From all this publicity, he added, “the citizens are sus- picious that we are trying to cover up something.”

Coun. Foster objected to the whole tone of the Mayor’s state- ment asserting that “at no time was it his intention to mislead or injure.” He admitted that he had in the first instance agreed with the majority but stated emphatically that he had made his charge in opinion known to the Mayor between two and three p. m. Monday.

“I deeply regret that, as a result of the decision made_at our last City Council meeting concerning our former City

Clerk, Mr. James Fullerton, a great deal of misdirected pub- licity has ensued.

“Councillor Foster, who is entitled to his own opinion, has intentionally or otherwise left the impression in the minds of the public that the Confidential Report contained sufficient evi- dence to deny the granting to our former City Clerk a pension, to which he has contributed for

Story Of Confusion Is Told By Woman In Kidnap Case 1

TORONTO (OP) — Mlrs. Mar- gzarete Goede, 46, described by police as a disillusioned widow, left for Montreal Thursday to face a charge of kidnapping 2%- year-old Joel Reirtma-n.

Two Montreal detectives and a policewoman accompanied her as she left the downtown Toronto police station where she was questioned for seven hours after her arrest Wednesday.

Mrs. Goede told police she was testing her latest, th=ree-monrth- old love interest when she left Toronto June 1 and began work- ing for Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Reit- man, non of millionaire dry goods chain store operator Sam Rcitman, in Montreal.

The German-Jborn maid and waitress, who has worked for other prominent Canadian famil- ies, was changed with abducting Joel two weeks later and holding him 36 hours for $10,000 ransom.

Humor And Wrangling As NORAD Deba’re Encls

OTTAWA (UP) - Debate on ratification of the Canada-United slates air defence agreement ended Thursday in the Commons in an odd mixture of good hu- “WY and wrangling.

The Oonmrnons approved the IE-reement, which sets out the Principles governing operation of the North American Air Defence Cfimmand (-NORAD), by a vote ‘if 200 to 8.

The Liberals voted with the

Ngressive Conservative Gov- °1'mnent, leaving only the CCF in 0171!-osition. The CC-“F contended that NORAD should be placed direct command of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization.

. P Pim e Minister Diefenbaker, 111 winding up debate for the gov- ‘mment, was the only speaker- B'“t Opposition Leader Pearson ‘M Paul Martin, former Liberal health minister, managed 59V’ :13‘! interjections on points of or-

The good humor came When Diefenbaker said Mr. Mar- 11 S earlier speech in the debate was memorized in large part "I1 an editorial in the Winni- Free Press.

ADMITS MEMORY WORK M11 Martin readily admitted

this alld flourished a copy Of the "I1f0I‘1al. The Commons dissolved

in laughter. _

The prime minister sa-1-d,Mr. Martin must be cong-ratulated for his ability to memorize. He had made only a few !l'l'1l10l‘ changes in the ed-ito-rial “to improve the language." _ _

But the wrangling Set _“1 5 moment laterwhen Mr. D1efen- baker maintamed the previous Liberal government h a d con- ceived the NOIR»AiD agreement-

Mr. Martin ‘said he had been a member of both the cabinet and the cabinet defence committee and the matter had not been d1s- cussed by either-

He added that under Commons rules Mr. Diefenbakcr had to ac- cept this statement without com-

ment.

Accnrrs DENIAL .

Mr. Diefenbakcr said he ac- cepted the denial. However, the document said the Liberal gov- ernment had said it was_‘!10t able, on June 14. 1957. t'0 final‘ ize” the NORAD agreement. (This was between its June 10 election dcf)eat and its June 21 1'es*igna.tlon.

M13 Pearson asked what Mr. Diefenbaker was reading from.

Mr. Dierfenbaker said he was reading from a memorandum of the chiefs of staff committee. It comprises the chiefs of the armed forces and a chairman. Gen.

Charles Foulkes.

He said earlier that the Lil)- eral government “to all intents and purposes” had decided to go ahead with NORAD but had held off final action pending last year’s election.

Mr. Diefenlbaker accused ‘the liberals of trying to raise a “s m o k e s c r een” around the* NORAD issue to arouse fears in the hearts of Canadians.

LIBERAL ARGUMENT

Main liberal angument in the debate was that the agreement should have been submitted to Parliament for approval before NORAD was established. Mr. Pearson said his party had no quarrel with the principle of col- lective defence.

Mr. Die¢fcntbal<er’s reply to this was to cite a number of agree- ments—-including dispatch of Ca- nadian troops to Korea — which the former Liberal administration went ahead with before seeking Parliamentary ratifica-tion.

Mr. Diefenlbakcr ‘said NORAD “will give muscles to NATO in North America.”

“It strengthens NATO, which is all that matters.”

He concluded by inviting the (Liberals to vote with the govern- ment and thus strengthen “an al- liance which they have ridiculed

30,000 Men Poised Reocly For Trouble

NDOOSIA, Cyprus (Reuters) — This Mediterranean Island Thurs- day night was packed with troops ready for trouble—here or in nearby Lebanon.

Officially, the more than 30,000 troops-—larges-t Cyprus concen- tration since the Anglo-French Suez intervention of 1956 -— were here to keep order in the event of fresh. violence over the Lon- don government’s new plan for the island’s future announced Thursday.

But military experts spoke of a possible “double purpose” in the troop buildup.

While the British government denied in London that the bols- tering of its garrison here was in anticipation of possible inter- vention in revolt-torn Lebanon. the military experts pointed out the soldiers would be available to fly to Lebanon if the govern- ment there seeks Anglo - Amer- ican military aid to end its civil war.

Military experts said that if and when Lebanon asked for help under’: 1950 Tripartite Dec- laration and Britain decided to step in along with the United States and France, two plane- loads of paratroopers could be in the Lebanese capital of Beirut in an hour.

TWO POSSIB-ILITIZES

Olbservers saw two possibilities under which Britain could inter- vene in Lebanon—as part of a United Nations force or under its obi.-igwartions of the Tripartite Dec- lanation in which Britain, the U.S. and France said they would take UN and other action against frontier violations.

Political quarters here said they believed that if and when Lebanon decided to invoke the declaration the British commit- ment for assistance would be- come unavoidable.

Lebanon accuses the United Arab Republic of “massive in- terference” in its internal affairs in connection with the anti-«g~ov- ernment revolt.

Meanwhile, Governor Sir Hugh Foot urged the divided people of Cyprus to back Britain's new partnership plan for self-govern men-t.

He called it "the only one which can save Cyprus from dis- aster.”

In a special broadcast, he said the plan gives Greek and Turkish Cypriots guarantees the rights of each community will be re- spected.

Foot declared the plan pro- vides "a road which leads away from fear and despair." But he warned:

“We shall not be deflected from it by violence or by any temporary setback or onosition. I convinced that sooner or later this is the road we must travel together. I am eager to get started on it at once. I call on everyone to come together now and make the new start."

Dosco Coal Miners In Cape Breton lo Close Down For Five Weeks

SYDNEY (CP) ‘— A Dom- inion Steel and Coal Corporation spokesman said Thursday com- pany coal mines in Cape Breton will shut down for five weeks on a staggered schedule in an effort to reduce mounting coal sur- pluses.

H. C. M. Gordon, general man- ager of the subsidiary Dominion Coal Company, said the ‘shut- downs would begin June 23 and end the week of Sept. 22.

Six collieries will close June 23. Glace Bay’s big No. 26 and the old Sydney collieries will become idle a week later. Springhill’s -No. 2-mine, a mainland Dosco pit, will cease operations Aug. 18, the day company miners usually return to the mines after a two- week paid vacation which annu- ally leaves the mines idle. The vacation period is in addition to the five-week shutdown order, making the overall period of closure in Cape Breton mines seven weeks.

EVENT FORESHADOWED

The closing of the mines was foreshadowed in Montreal Tues- day by Allan C. MacDonald, chairman of the Dosco manage- ment committee and an execu- tive vice-president of the parent A. V. Roe (Canada) Ltd.

Mr. MacDonald ‘said it was necessary to curtail operations.

“. . . Sales from Dominion Coal Company Limited and other Dosco colliery operations have been insufifiicient to dispose of the entire output.”

An estimated 1,400,000 tons of coal lie piled in Cape Breton.

The production loss during the shutdown is estimated at 300,000 tons. The smaller pits hoist about 500 tons a day and the larger mines. as .high.as 4.000 tons- ..

A less severe cutback ispl~a«n- nod for Acadia Coal Company

operations in Nova Scotia's Pic- tou County, Mr. Gordon said. The mines will work a four-day week schedule for at least the next seven weeks. The mines lvbearv: been producing five days a e .

Worcl Six Sewer Project Is Tossed Back To The.Council

The Commissioners of Sewer and Water Supply are not pre- pared to pay “a cent” towards the cost of laying the combina- tion storm and sanitary sewer planned to connect the systems already existing on Connolly Street and the Malpeque Road, Couliclllor O'Neill stated at the special Council meeting ‘last night. ‘

Chief Commissioner H. R. Bevan told him that this in- stallation was considered “only a drain” and that in any case since there was no water main involved the Commissioners could not consider such a pro- ject since it would not bring 111 any revenue.

Councillor Gaudet remarked that the citizens had made them- selves clear at the recent plebis- cite, and placed the full re- sponsibility for sewerage and water on the Commissioners.

“This is not so much a storm sewer as a sanitary sewer," he said.
