HALIFAX (OP) -— Returning from ,vacations in Georgia, 13 Springhill miner. landed here Tuesday night on the way to home and unemployment.

The men and their wives and children, M in all, arrived here from New York, on a special TransCanada Air Lines flight. They were flown to New York “Jacksonville, Fla., on a Na- plane. Buses took Inn to Springhill from here.

The miners were among 19 res- “ from Springlu'll’s No. 2 col— lcq after being trapped in the mauveintoruptoslt days. The ‘binop” took 75 lives.

Fired: from a week at Jekyll Island, Go, as guests of state Governor Griffin, the men told reporters they were all altered Ribs in Georgia but they would return to to think we: the otters.

LOW! Milley said he is “seri— ously considering” taking a job in a sea food plant he visited. His Hands. blue-eyed daughter Judy was. all for returning. Among other reasons she said she had met “a nice southern boy.”

NEW SHOES

The minens sported new shoes. glitch given two pairs by the wner a Georgia shoe factory.

Bowman Maddison, whose hubby. is song-writing, described hum as a “100 per cent swell line." His son Alden was of- fered l singing job by a Geongia radio station that plugged one of

’5 songs.

Maurice R-uddick, a mulatto Who had to live apart from the “fliers, said he was hospitably {Rated everywhere he went dur. mg the visit. He said he didn’t. see much of the effect of Georgia’s segregation 1an but “I Wasn’t. allowed to visit my Spring- lhll friends although they could Wine and see us.”

.I am not pleased with any- lh'mflthat keeps people apart," he 531d, “it is something out of ‘he past."

Ruddick said he plans to stay in Springhul, at least for a while. Hie was offered a job in Georgia, but “it’s an awful long way tron: home.”

800 OUT OF WORK

In Slpringhill the minem join about 800 of their fellows who are out of wonk. The Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation announced two weeks would not re- sume its mining commons in the town. Despite calls from various

onganizations for idustries to re- place the mines there has been nothing definite yet.

Some unidentified private mine operators have indicated interest in in the area. No. 2 col- liery is considered a wreck since the Oct. 2'3 bump and neighbor- ing No. 4 has been sealed since all explosion in 1.956 in which 39

'nans died. Another pit, No, 3, was closed follbwing a algo-

Concrete Action Looked For By Provincial APEC Groups

Stressing the fact that provin~ clal directors and repre;enta— tives are better able to assess the needs of their own particular province, Dr. Frank MacKinnon, president of APEC, asserted that the council in future would ex- pect more concrete results from the provincial APEC branches.

at the first organizat- ional meeting of the directors of the provincial branch at the Charlottetown Hotel last evening, Dr. MacKinnon said that the council hoped that ideas origina- ting with various interested groups would be up for consider- ation at the next council meet- ing scheduled for the first week in February.

The meeting discussed ways and means of promoting more favorable trade relations with Labrador and the Canadian north. It was felt that in these areas a large quantity of food products could be marketed pro- perly each year. Several can» crete suggestions were received from the directors as to how this could be accomplished.

The APEC president noted that a tremendous amount of

information was available _at APEC headquarters. This im— formation included copies of

reports of research work cair-

ried out in such field as: Agri- culture, fisheries, tourism etc. Dr. MacKinnon said that much of this information had practical application to the needs of each area.

COMMITTEES APPOINTED The meeting was presided over by J. S. Wright, Summerside. APEC vice president for P.E.I. Mr. Wright outlined the propos- ed plan of operation for the com- ing year and appointed the chair- men of the various standing committees — _ Charles Yeo, Sherbrooke, (Agriculture); Eug- ene Gorman, Charlottetown (Fisheries) and Lt.-Col E. S. Johnstone, Burlington (Tourist) ;

Mr. Wright also appointed or- ganization liaison officers as follows: William Haywood Char- lottetown Board of Trade; Amos Hubley, Summerside Board of Trade; Ralph Adams, Alberton and West Prince Board of Trade; Max Thompson, Cra- paud Board of Trade; Wilfred Wright, Souris Board of Trade Arnold Whiteman, Montague Junior Chamber of Commerce; Wendell Mutclh, P.E.I.

Later, Mr. Pearkes said enough information will be available by March to decide whether to go into production, further develop th aircraft or “not go on.”

Until the tests of the Arrow‘s new fire control and weapons sys— tems were completed. any deci- 5ic.i would be “prejudging the situation.”

Mr. Pearkes said the govern ment Ms considered the possibil- ity of purchasing the American F-106, but he added: “1 person- ally d-oubt very much we would purchase the F-loti."

Liberal Leader Lester B. Pear~ son. demanding a complete re view of Canada's defence strat- suggested Mr. P e a r k e 5' statement had done nothing to re- move the question marks and confusion surrounding the Arrow.

The issue boiled up anew with the comment of RCAF Air Mar- shal lioy Slemon that a manned interceptor in the RCAF is an "inescapable requirement for as

long as we can see."

The CF-105 Arrow is a better performer than the American supersonic F-106 and would be the highest performance interceptor available in North America until the American F—108 is ready in five or six years, added the dep- uty commander of North Amer- ican Air Defence Command. He spoke Monday to a group of Ca- nadian reporters at NORAD head- quarters at Colorado Springs, Colo.

Air Marshal Slemon’s state- ment was similar to one made by Mr. Pearkes a year ago and the minister told reporters Tues- day he had no objection lo it. He believed also that the air mar- shal‘s statement did not conflict with one made by Prime Minis- ter Dictcubakcr Sept. 23.

On Sept. 23. Mr. Diefenbakcr agreed that by the time the Ar- row is ready for squadron use in 1961 it would be superior to any similar alternatives available but IlC questioned whether the mo "'1!" of superiority would be worth the high costs involved.

Will Stay In Berlin, Nixon Says

VLON‘DQN (AP)—~Viace-President Richard Nixon of the United States opened his visit to Britain Tuesday with a clear pronoun-ce- ment that the West will stay in Berlin, strengthen NATO and stand firm against Communist aggression.

“We believe that we in the free world could render no greater disservice to the can ‘ of peace than to fail to stand firm," Nixon said.

The vice-president addressed a 5004p1ace luncheon of the Pilgrims Somety, a group dedicated to im- provmg British - American rela- tions.

LATE LANDING

'Ilhe Nixon plane from Washing- ton had been forced away from London airport and the official welcoming party by a blanket of fog, but landed two hours late at Glatwick airport, 20 miles south of London.

He and his wife hurried to Lon- don by train, put off signing the guest book at Palace which was first on their schedule, and spent the rest of the day

, catching up.

Nixon told the Pilgrims Society the Russian threat to pull out of the four-power occupation of Ber- lin is “the latest Soviet probing action” and the Western powers must hold fast.

.He defended the American posi- tion on Formosa, with which many Britons disagree. DISAGREE 0N MEANS

“Our disagreement is not on ends, but on means," Nixon said. “We all want peace . . . reward-

mgagcressionqoesmtstppu;

it only‘ encourages more aggres- sion in the fiuhue."

Big 3 Have Secret Plan To Block Berlin squeeze“

By SEYMOUR TOPPING

BERLIN (AP) - The Western Big Three Tuesday were re- ported firmly united behind a new secret plan to counter any Communist attempt to freeze them out of Berlin.

Diplomats said the agreement was reached within the last few days. This indicated the allies re- solved any differences on how to react should the Russians hand over to the East Germans con. trol of allied lifelines to isolated West Berlin.

Allied officials declined to spell out details of their new plan.

Diplomats said, however, that under the plan the three would

Former Soviet Ambassador To Canada Dies

MOSCOW LAP) — Deputy For- eign Minister Georgi N. Zambian, Soviet ambassador to Canada in 1946 when a Red spy ring was uncovered in Ottawa, died on Monday. He was 58.

Friends said that the diplomat —former envoy to London and Washington as well as Ottawa— was a victim of lung cancer. It was understood he died in a Mos- cow hospital. He was last seen publicly at a Turkish embassy reception on Oct. 29.

Zarubin was a handsome, ath— letic 44 when he became ambas- sador to Canada in 1944. He re- turned to Russia 18 months later just as the disclosures of his cipher clerk, Igor Gouzenko, were setting the stage for the espionage trials of 1946 when 19 persons were tried and 10 con— victed.

CALLS FOR NEGOTIATIONS

But East German communist boss Walter Ulbricht spelled out his intentions. While scoffing at Western fears of a Communist blockade, he said the allies would have to negotiate with his regime for free access to Berlin.

“If I want to travel to London, I must have the permission of the English government," Ullbricht said in an interview with a Brit- ish newspaper. “And if the gentlemen want to travel to Ber- lin, they must have the permis- sion of the government of the DDR (East Germany). That is just the way it is."

Ulbricht gave the impression

the Soviets were about to hand over control at any minute. But the Russians themselves seemed to be moving cautiously.

This was the second test run since the Soviets turned back an ou-twardeound convoy of three U.S. Army trucks Nov. 1a. In keeping with long - standing or- ders, the U.S. guards refused to let the Russians inspect the cargo.
