Buildings Burn On Piciou Island

HALIFAX fCP)- A forest fin broke out Wednesday on tiny Mother's Island near the mouth of tho l.aHavo River. And late Thursday night it was still burn- ing. although firefighters had slowed its progress.

The blue broke out about noon and spread across the woodland toward a lighthouse at the other end. Officials said it likely would halted completely during the night.

In another fire Thursday five buildings were levelled on Pic- tou Island as lack of water hampered flrefighting opera- tions. The farm buildings of Edward Glover. were destroyed along with most of his machin- ery. Hia home was saved.

Murdochville Tension Eases; May lift Curfew

MURDOCHVILLE. Que. (CPI- Two provincial police constables ggglgned to protect three labor leaders from attack were with- drawn Thursday night as tension lessened in this strike - troubled Gngpe community.

The guards were posted at the local hotel Tuesday when report! circulated that non-strikers plan- ned to chase the men out of town. The officials are Roger Be- risrd. who came here when the strike at Gaspe Copper Mines Wu killed by the United Steelworkers of America tCLCl March it: Bruno MacDonald. another USWA official, and Teo G a g It 0 PITUI- dent of the union's Murdochvllle local.

WASHINGTON tAP) - The United States Thursday reluct- antly authorized 24 American newspaper men to go to Commun- ist China. It remains to be seen whether the Communist regime at Peiping will let the reporters en- ter.

A statement ordered by State Secretary Dulles said no report-

ers from Communist China will be allowen into the United States on a reciprocal basis.

This could be a bling block if the Chinese decide they want equal treatment. But they prev- iously have invited American cor- respondent, to visit the Chinese mainland with no strings at- tached.

The Dulles announcement des- ignated 24 news organizations and authorized them to send one reporter each to China on a six- months . or - longer "experimen- tal basis."

VALIDATE PASSPORT!

Their passports will be vali- dated for travel to Red China- now expressly forbidden in all American assports.

At the end of the experimental period. Dulles will decide whether the idu works. Officials said the chief factor in the decision will be whether the reporters are able to report freely or whether they are so inhibited as to make their dispatches virtually meaningless.

Mr. Iiees spoke to reporters af-

He also said investigators an trying to determine whether ovar- loadlng was a factor in the crash. A transport depotment invest- gator had flown to Greenland and London to determine the weight carried by the four-engined air- craft which crashed during a thunderstorm while returning va- catloners to Toronto from Bri- tain.

Mr. Hees interrupted a Mart-

Arab States Planning To Isolate Syria, is Report

Diplomatic Activity Steps

Up Sharply

LONDON IAPI -- Arab states friendly to the West we'e re-p ported T h u r s d ay planning to isolate leftilt Syria in an attemptl lu block the spread of Soviet in- fluence through the liiiudlc East.

lnfurmed diplomats said that was the real meaning behind the flurry of diplomatic activity in- the region - activity climaxedi Thursday by the sudden flight of young King Hussein of Jordan to Turkey.

At the same time. these in- formants said, Britain and the United States have decided against any open intervention that would seem to challenge lit.- tle Svria's 'wing to the left.

UNWILLING T0 INTERFERE

The reason for the repofted British-American decision is an unwillingness to interfere with what the Syrians-and other na- tions-might consider to be their internal affairs.

British diplomats here said to have concluded it would be better for Syria's Arab neigh- bors - all strongly anti-Commu- his! to guard themlelges against new Soviet - inspired at- tempts to extend leftist influ- ences.

To that and Arab countries friendly to the West already are reported consulting each other and British and American envoys in the area.

informants say these Arab lands already appear to be gen- erally agreed that the Syrians should be quarantined even though this may serve finally to tuck the facade of Arabic unity.

ganizstion expert say the lives of millions are at stake and the co-operation of postal authorities around the world is needed to meet medical range require- ments.

Mexican delega'e Lsuno F. Ramines broke a two-day dead- lock in the congress committee by proposing an amendment that international mail carriage of "perishable biological material" be made optional for those coun- tries which want to adopt it. Orig- inally It was proposed to make the provision mandatory on union countries.

CANADIAN SUPPORT

Canada and the United States. who previously argued that mail carriage of germs posed a dan- ser to postal employees and even the threat of epidemics. supported the amendment. It was approved by the committee 62 to is with 11

more control.

ANOTHER PIECE

A vial carrying deadly germa could be just another piece of mail in a letter hag. he said. But as a marked parcel handed to an airline its contents would be known and it could be given the special handling it might require. in case of accident, it would be known that the downed plane was carrying dangerous germs and precautions could be taken.

Dr. N. K. Jerne of Geneva. h e a d of WHO's biological stand- ardizatlon section. told the com- mittee quick transport of germs for rcsearch and other purposes was a vital medical need.

ready is under way. The 3.5M.- 000-strong Syrian nation has been politically isolated by its suspici- ous neighbors.

But the ring around the Syrians may be tightened still further by the Lebanese Turks. Iraqis and Jordanian! who surround them.

some of the counter-measures Syria's neighbors were said to he pondering include:

Stepping up the political cam- paign In the hope of inducing the Syrian people to rid themselves of their Moscow bonds.

Cutting economic relations with the Syrians to a bare minimum.

Reducing all dllomatic ex- changes wlth the Damascus gov- ernment as much as possible. Increasing f r o n t l e r security patrols to ensure against illegal crossings.

Western diplomatsin the Mid- dle East are making it plainly

tragic a view of the replacement of Syria's army commander and other senior officers by known leftists.

Their argument is that thou developments have only continued a lung - standing trend, however potentially serious it may be.

Even before the ousters and charges of U.S. plotting of the last week, Britain estimated that

isyria had received something

like Sl40.000,0(I'l worth of arms pfrom Russia. The British also claimed more than no Soviet technicians and advisers were in the country.

These supplies lately have been augmented by a big program of economi aid that the Syrians claim officially to be without con- ditionl.

Under this program Russia will help to enlarge the port of Leta- kia. build a railroad linking Latt- kla with the Baghdad line and with Damascus. develop a not- worir of roads and airports. sat up several irrigation and hydro electric power projects and ex- pand Syrian industry and agricul- ture.

For these purposes the Run- ians will supply the skilled labor force. long - term credits and equipment.

OTHERS COULD FOLLOW

One factor In Western thinking is that the successful fulfilment of such an aid program-eapeet ally if the Russians do not exact too heavy a political and ico- nomic price for it-may have the effect of tempting some other underdeveloped Middle East state to follow the Syrian example. If thatwere lobapponoaabig small! scale. the entire Western

British and United States of!!- cials are eager to determine the reaction of President Nassor's rs lime over the Syrian daveiop- ments.

The Western sources presume the Egyptian "strongman" likely would resent the Russians ao- sumlng s paramount position In Syria.

Western officials are satisfied. however. that Sysia's tightened links with Moscow probably will not spell any special military dangers. The Syrian army. corn- promislng fewer than 10 brigades. is not considered strong enough to take on any of its neighbors with the possible ' of Lebanon.
