Khrushchev accused the West- ern powers of trying to ‘impose their will” on Russia for a Berlin solution and a nuclear test ban. His comments on East-West re- lations took on added signifi- eance, following as they did ex- tensive exchanges since Saturday with Britain’s visiting Prime Min- ister Macmillan.

Macmillan was 8 miles out- side Moscow visiting a Soviet nu clear research centre as Khrush- ehev addressed a ae of his electoral constituents in the viet capital.

The speech was such a sunprise that British officials were caught without a copy to show Macmil- fan. Khrushchev spoke off - the- euff but his address was carried around the world by Moscow radio.

Avro Head Denies Workers Fired To Embarrass Gov't.

LONDON (Reuters) — Sir Roy Dobson, chairman of A. V. Roe (Canada), Tuesday night denied that the Canadian company’s de- cision to dismiss 14,000 employees was intended to embarrass the government, as alleged by Prime Minister Diefenbaker.

In a statement, Dobson said that the decision was forced upon the company by the Canadian government's failure to take it into its confidence and give it reasonable advance notice of its intention to cancel the program for the Avro Arrow supersonic jet fighter.

“Our company was told that the decision whether or not to

«proceed with the project would be taken by the end of March,” Dobson said.

“Suddenly, out of the blue, be- fore the end of February, the gov- ernment announced the decision to scrap it and issued orders to the company by telegram to stop all work in its plants, also in those of its suppliers and sub- contractors.”

No mention was made of com- pensation for those who, as a re- sult, would be out of a job, Dob- son said.

“In such circumstances, what could the company do?

“They could not have thousands of workers in their plants with no work to do and could not, in all fairness to their shareholders— including ‘thousands of Cahadian citizens — incur the expense of carrying on when they
