The experts, who meet again this afternoon, probably won’t'get down to particular tech- nical problems for at least a couple days, they added.
During a brief public session open‘ to the press, Russia can- ceded the Western position that the talks were purely technical and not tied with the political problem of nuclear test suspen- lion. ~ Professor A. K. Fyodorov, Icader of the Soviet delegation and one of Russia's leading Sput- experts, declared:
“We are not suppOSed to take a) the solution of the problem of test cessation. This is a matter to be solved by governments.”
ASKED GUARANTEE
. Russia had insisted on a guar- antee from the United States that the meeting would lead to the halting of nuclear tests. ' The American refusal led last week to a threatened Soviet boycott of the meeting.
’ Dr. James Fisk, leader of the Western side and a member of President Eisenhower’s science advisory committee, said the group had assembled "to study
the technical problems invole in the detection and identification of nuclear explosions.”
“Each of us brings to our task the tradition of science,’3 Fidk told the delegates, “a tradition that places the highest premium on objectivi .”

Tuesday for a bigger foreign aid budget from a House of Rep- resentatives apparently of mind to spurn his plea. '
The White House promised a new bid for more money before voting starts today on a bill ap— propriating $3,078,092,500 in new aid funds for the fiscal year that started Tuesday. This is $872,000,- 000 less than Eisenhower origm- ally asked and $597,500,000 below the ceiling set last week in a sep- arate authorization. ‘ ’
Tuesday’s presidential plea re- iterated last week’s claim that the cuts recommended by the house appropriations committee would jeopardize U.S. foreign pol- icy. lit was made at a White House meeting with Republican congressional leaders. ’
Later, Secretary of Stat Dulles told a press conference the pro- posed: slash posed‘~l“a grave United States." Dulles hinted that Eisenhower may take his case to the people by radio and televi- sion if he believes such a course is necessary. ’

ence today would help their fight to restore at least some of the committee cuts. Tht White House said Eisenhower would issue such a plea at the outset of today’s conference.
Privately, however, advocates of larger allotments were pes- simistic. Some of them feared a one-sided vote against amend- ments to increase funds would lessen the chances for ultimate victory in a‘Senate-House confer- ence. They assumed the Senate would vote more than the Blouse, as has often happened in the past.
The practical situation is that almost every member of the House is running for re-election this year and the House budget- cutting record is not so impres- sive as it has been in recent years. A deep lash in foreign aid funds, many members feel, would give them a better economy rec- 0rd.

e Gaulle Is Told More
Troops Needed In Algeria
ORAN, Algeria (Am—(Premier Charles de Gaulle Tuesday took a soldier’s look at the military situation in Algeria and was told that more troops were needed to combat the Moslem nationalist rebellion. ‘
De Gaulle flew this morning from Paris to Telergma air force base in eastern Algeria for an m— spection of French posts on the Tunisian border.
He made a brief stop at nearby Bama where he addressed a crowd of well—wishers. He then flew into this western Algeria port city—to continue his three- day tour—his second visit to Al- geria since his return to power a month ago. I
In the eastern area operation
headquarters at Ain Arna, Gen- eral Gandoet told de Gaulle that the situation in his sector, “al- though still difficult, showsxsigns of definite improvement since the May 13th, events."
This was a reference to the French political upheaval in Al- geria whose leaders want com- plete integration of Algeria’s Eu— ropeans and Moslems as a means (if keeping this North African ter- ritory French.
IMPROVED ATTITUDE
Gandoet told de Gaulle that he noticed a great improvement in the attitude of the local popula- tion. The eastern Algeria area never has been considered by the
French as completely pacified
and the population there gen- erally has been hostile.
Gandoet told de Gaulle more troops were needed to make the French military effort in Algeria more efficient. _
After inspecting several posts near the electrified barrier built to prevent the nationalists from crossing from Tunisia, the gen- eral flew to Batna.
On the steps of the city hall, he invited a cheering crowd to work with him “for a French Al- geria.” ‘
De Gaulle returned to the Te- ergma base late in the afternoon for another military conference and then flew to Oran.
He was scheduled to fly to Al-
giers Tuesday night.

Threat Io Iebanon Is Eased
BIE-IJRIUT (AP) — President Ca- mille Chamoun said Tuesday a rebel offensive toward Beirut and its airport was part of an all-out attempt to capture Beirut and overthrow the government.
A government attack with jets, artillery and armored cars halted the relbel stab and drove the in- surgents back into the hills. The assault apparently erased any
vital airport. ' The insurgents also appeared to be weakening on a second major
front, at Tripoli in northern Leb-
anon. Heavy fighting broke out there again this morning.
President Chamoun said in an interview with The Associated Press the rebel attack, launched Monday, was part of the offen- sive he had predicted last week. It was coordinated with a plan- ned attack on- Tripoli which, he added, still “may start at any moment."
“If this last effort of rebels in Tripoli and in Couf (rebel leader Kamal Jumblatt’s area) is beaten- completely, the armed rebellion will tcollapse as a military move- men- .” ‘

OTTAWA (CP) — A (two-day Commons debate on the plight of Nova Scotia’s coal mining indus- try ended Tuesday night with de- feat of a Liberal non-confidence motion criticizing the govern- ment’s “failure” to avert a five- ‘week shutdown of the surplus- plagued mines.
The big Progressive Conserva- tive majority overwhelmed the combined Liberal - COF opposi- tion 137 to 42.
The motion, moved Monday by N. J. Rolbichaud, Gloucester, also contended the government has backed away from its commit- ment to promote development of Industry in the Atlantic provinces and has retreated from its “spec- ific undertaking” to ensure use of Maritime coal in the area’s thermal power plants built with federal aid.

By THE CANADIAN PRESS
Canada’s 915i birthday was cel- ebrated Tuesday wit 21 - gun sal- utes, parades, sports events, bar- beques, fireworks displays, the creation of a new lake andsum- mery weather throughout of the country.
Hot weather in the East and pleasant temperatures in the West sent thousands flocking to beaches, lakes and summer cot~ tages.
Traffic authorities reported a heavy flow of cars on the high- ways and the holiday spirit was marred by ahigh toll of highway deaths, drowning-s and other acci- dental deaths.
The Dominion Day holiday, July 1, celebrated the federation of the united provinces of Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec) with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 1067. Manitoba joined in 1870, British Columbia in 1871, Prince Edward Island in 1873. Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1905 and Newfoundland in 1949.
For Quebec City it also meant the celebration of its 350th birth- day, marked by a parade with 80 floats and 30 bands and folk dancing. In British Columbia, the

In the Maritimes, the weather was fine and warm. Ships in Hali- fax harbor sounded their horns at noon and a 21 - gun salute was fired from Citadel Hill. At Digby, N .S., water sports, a parade with floats, baseball game and fire- works display, studded the activ- ities.
The biggest event in Yarmouth, N.‘S.,was the arrival of the ship Yarmouth on her first trip of a threedtimes-aaweek service from Boston after a four-year lapse.
In New Brunswick, 3,000 per- sons attended an annual chicken barbecue at Fredericton. Sports activities included harness rac- ing, baseball and boating.

Debate On Coal
‘Encls
Leader Pearson called Commons speeches by Revenue Minister Nowlan and Resources Minister Hamilton “quite inconsistent” in part at least.
Mr. Nowla-n had said that Marl-' time coal would be used in Mari- time thermal power stations re- ceiving federal assistance, Mr. Pearson said, while Mr. Hamil- ton had declared Monday that such a commitment would be ob- soulutely against the best inter- ests of the area’s coal industry.
Yet Premier Stanfield of Nova Scotia last March had assured the province that use of Maritime coal was guaranteed in’ thermal power units by virtue of a mas- ter contractcovering station con- struction.
Mr. Pearson quoted Mr. Stan- field as saying his assurances came from Prime Minister Diet. enbaker. ' '
Mr. Nowlan, wh o s e speech preceded that of Mr. Pearson tagged the word "poppy-cock” to Liberal claims that Nova, Scotia mines are losing central Canadian markets under- Oonservative pol- icy.
The government could not have acted sooner to prevent Nova ,Sco tia layoffs affecting about 9,500
' miners.
WANTED FASTER ACTION
The revenue minister, Nova Scotia’s representative in the fed— eral cabinet, was replying to for mer Liberal inun-igration mints ter J. W. Pickersgill who asked why the government couldn’t have acted sooner.
Mr. Norwlan said the govern- ment had agreed last week to as- sist the Dominion Coal Company
coal stockpile so the company could keep its mines operating
If the government had not step- ped in, Mr. Nowlan said, the mine lay-offs in Nova Scotia would have been much longer than the 25 days now scheduled. As it was, the layoffs would be spread over several months and in different mines, softening their impact. The company had said the layoffs were necessary for economic and efficient operation in view of the big stockpile.
Mr. Pearson said Mr. Nowlan had thrown a “smokescreen of his irony and eloquence” around the facts, and had not dealt with the points raised in the non-con-
fidence motion.

startling speed '1‘ esday night af- ter 63,000 pounds of nitrone rup- tured a river plug and launched a‘ relentless 75-hour flood in the
, St. Lawrence seaway valley.
The blast tore two gaps in a (Mimi cofferdam at 9 sun. AM Tuesday to release the pent-up waters of the St. Lawrence, Can- ada’s greatest river. ’
The shock was felt in down- town Cornwall, more than five miles from the blast. Force of the explosion sent tons of earth more than 200 feet into the sir and hurled rock boulders more than 1,000,, feet. V _
Although the blast did not de molish the cotferdam as en- gineers * hoped, hydro offi- cials pronounced it a success. They said the earth fill in the dam was so heavily packed it had the ensity of concrete.
Ba ' 'ng up from the half-mile- wide“power dam near Cornwall, the muddy river waters inched higher during the day, swallow- ing‘ the old Cornwall canal in a gurgling gulf and starting to nib- ble at the abandoned Mille Roches townsite, five miles west of here. Eight hours after the blast the water level had gone up 10 feet at the Long Sault control

It took 65 minutes for the this trial flood crest to cascade 2% miles along the river basin to the power dam itself. Thousands of people watched the blast—but all they saw or heard from the hydro dike was a puff of smoke fol- lowed by the bang. , v
The new man-made lake will be 35 miles long and five miles wide ringed by a picturesque parkland with sandy beaches and picnic sl es.

Early next week Ontario Hydro officials expect to start genera- tors spinning in the dam to pro- duce 125,000 horsepower of elec- tricity. Eventually 2,200,000 horse. power will be generated—bait for Ontario and the rest for New New, York State, partner in the $00,000,000 power proiect.

Four More Americans Are
Carriecl Off By‘ Rebels
HAVANA (AP) — Four more Americans were carried off into the hills Tuesday by a rebel band in what is considered a blackmail campaign to force U.S. interven- tion in Cuba.
The rebels thus ran up a total of 50 captives —— 47 U.S. citizens and three Canadians — in their kidnapping raids that began last Thursday night.
There was no word from two US. consuls who have been at- tempting through rebel contacts to arrange the release of the 41 Americans previously captured.
Nor was there any indication of progress by the Canadian Eam-
mill manager from Toronto; Har- old G’. Kristjanson, 37, of Gerald- ton, 0nt.; and Edward Cannon, 50, of Cornwall, Out. The last two are engineers working on a cop- per mine project.
Rebels have been quoted as saying the abductions were to force the United States to cease assistance to the government of President Fulgencio Batista. The United States says it is not giv- ing such assistance.
N0 INTERVENTION

bassy to obtain the release of

States,’ he said, will not pay blackmail for the release of the Americans.
A band of 30 to 40 insurgents in trucks carried off the latest raid. Coming down from the hills they drove into a United Fruit Company plantation at Guaro on the northeast coast of Oriente province, grabbed all the Armr- icéns they could find and reared oi .
The rebels entered the sleep- ing quarters at Guam and took the men in custody without any shooting. No one was reported harmed.
The rebels were believed to be those under the command of Raul Castro, brother of KM
Chieftain Fidel Castro.
