Russia Uses Veto, Kills Inspection Plan For Arctic
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP) Russia threw the idea of Arctic inspection against surprise attack out of the United Nations Friday and left the East-West disarma- ment deadlock tighter than ever.
Using its big-power veto for the 83rd time in the UN Security Council, the Soviet Union voted “nyet” — against the 10 other council members—on the Amer- ican-sponsored idea of mutual surveillance of the polar regions as a means'of easing world ten- sion.
Then. in turn, all the council members except Sweden. which abstained, voted down Russia’: original call on the UN to have the United States stop its nuclear bomber flights in the Arctic and refer the issue to a summit meet- ing. : 5 4‘-in * - ~ . , Soviet’ delegate Ar-kady Sobo- lev, spurning a Swedish com- promise proposal that an interna- tional conference of all countries with territory inside the Arctic Circle meet at once and refer its findings to a big-power summit meeting, had om i n o u 5 words after the votes were taken.
GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY
He accused the other council members in effect of voting against the likelihood of a suc- cessful s u In mit meeting, and warned them they had “assumed a grave responsibility for pos- quences.”
Britain’s Sir Pierson Dixon sibly catastrophic conse- called the result of the three council meetings on the issue “a bad a-ug-ury for the future pro- gress of disarmament.”
But all on the Western side, including Britain, the U.S, Can- ada and France, expressed hope this new setback would not mark the end of all negotiation. Henry Cabot Lodge of the U.S. said aft- erward that “discouraging as to- day's development is, we will never stop trying."
Ambassador Charles Ritchie of Canada, who presided over Fri- day’s meeting, said he would per- slsf in hoping that the Soviet Un- ion might change its attitude.
Sobol-ev dismissed the whole debate with: “What is the worth of all this talk? The American
irxrise,-;'_-ollfpgf or Secretary-General’
proposal was no solution to the threat to peace.” ,
Lodge commented bitterly that; Russia’s only intent in bringing the Arctic issue before the world organization at all was “to keep the U.S. Air Force on the grou-nd
where it would be a sitting duck for a surprise attack."
U.S.'A'I"I‘ITUDE IN DOUBT
The American attitude now 0 a s-ummit meeting is in doubt, since State Secretary Dulles said Thursday at a press conference that Russia’s attitude Friday would “influence our thinking” on that matter.
Lodge told reporters outside the council chamber late Friday: “It looks to me now, speaking personally, as though the Soviet Union had deliberately knocked the summit conference on the head."
He "would not elaborate.
lit there had been any hope that.
the Russian position ‘had changed "because of the Slwedish compro-
Dag. HammarskjoId’s interve - tion Tuesday in favor of the American plan, Sobolev speedily dispelled it. .- - -
The Swedish amendment, he.
said almost at the outset of his speech this morning, “does not change our negative attitude” since it did not affect the "un- acceptable propagandistic sub- stance” of. the ‘inspection pro posal. He used the America-n slang term “gimmick” in de- scribing it.
As to the secretary-general-’s,
intervention, Sobolev said he found it “difficult to understand.’
DAG’S PRESTIGE HIT
“The addition of Mr. Hammar- skjold’s voice to the chorus ‘of’ representatives of NATO coun- tries and their allies. . . has not changed the character of this manoeuvre and does not make it more attractive. This interven- tion has also not helped to strengthn the prestige of the sec- retary-general . . . quite on the contrary."
Sobolev left no doubt about Russia’s continued opposition to participating in disarmament dis- cussions in the UN. The Soviet Union -would only participate ‘in disarmament talks when the group was at least 50 per cent composed of Communist coun- tries.
Then, in an unusual fac -to- face address, Sobolev turn to the American delegate who, still
speaking in Russian, said: !
“Mr. Lodge-—reflect, ponder on what has been said here. The U..S.S.R. has warned of the pos- sible con-sequences.”

world war.
The U.S. delegate, speaking later, answered the Russian in the same manner:
COURSE IS CLEAR
- “Mr. Sobolev, if you really want to end this tension, your course is perfectly clear: You have only to vote for the U.S. resolution.”
The council president, speaking briefly as Canadian delegate, commented wryly that the Rus- sians’ negative stand was “hard indeed for us to reconcile" with the anxiety they had expressed.

Fail To Seize
Government Of Colombia
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — A presidential candidate and four members of Co1omJbia’s r-uling f-ivemman military junta were kid- napped Friday in a vain effort to seize the government.
The bold move, led by an army colonel, began at 4 am. Seven hours later all those kidnapped 'had been released and the rebel- lion smashed.
The uprising came two days be- fore Colombia is scheduled to elect its first constitutional pres- ident in 10 years. Those seized included ex - president Alberto Lleras Camargo, the front - run- ning candidate.
Authorities said Col. Hernando Forero led the revolt. Taking part were soldiers of the military police and some national police and regular troops.
The rebels struck just before dawn, seizing their victims at

MAKES FOREIGN
POLICY SPEECH
‘HALIFAX (CP)—0ne of Nova Scotia’s top government econom- ists says the fanmer’s main need is “monopoly” if he is to get strength in the marketplace.
Jim McNeil told the royal com- mission on price spreads Friday there are some inherent weak- nesses in the constitutional pow- ers of existing fanm marketing boards. That’s why they needed to be reviewed and strengthened.
Mr. McNeil, assistant market- ing director in the Nova Scotia agriculture department and econ- omics professor at the Provincial agriculture department, a.nd econ- omics professor at the Provincial Agricultural College at Truro maintained it _was difficult to force farmers to adhere to board regulations.
“It is difficult to win a court case for an infraction of the reg- ulations,” he said.
Mr. McNeil appeared on be- half of the provincial federation of agriculture which urged the commission to review marketing legislation -and obtain for market- ing boards “a more dignified position .in the world of busi- ness."
There was a certain rigidity said Mr. McNeil, in the spread between producer and consumer prices. There was too much com- petition among farmers in the sale of their product-s. What was needed, was some degree of “in flexibility” in farm marketing.
CONTROL DIFFICULT Amplifying on this, Douglas Curtis, member of the federa- 'tion’s executive, estimated the province h-ad about 3,000 carrot producers. i'»I“-his made control of
.-ma-rketihg di-t’fi,cl-fit.-. If th§,,nu-ni-
her of ‘farmers was, reduce<;i_—’,and‘ eventually this would come about through economic trends —— then marketing control would become easier.
But while the federation pleaded for greater marketing strength, consumers’ representa- tives pleaded for lower food costs.
Mrs. C. Gus Manolopoulos. president of the Provincial Con- sumers’ Association, said Hali- fax consumers were paying high prices for milk, and indications were that the price would soon rise again.
Milk marketing was controlled by a provincial public utilities board. The federation said this was satisfactory to them, but the consumers’ group argued that producers and distributors were gaining up on them, forcing icon- sumers .to pay the highest prices possible.
Commission member Dorothy Walton of Toronto suggested that as in other cities, consumers here could buy milk cheaper at stores than . delivered to the home. But Mrs. Manolopoulos said'this wasn’t so in Halifax. In fact because of a utilities board rul-ing, consumers had to pay more for milk at the store. TWO PRICE BOOSTS
"Milk delivered to the home cost 23 cents a quart. Dairy distribu- tors -had forced two price boosts on consumers in one year. Now she feared t-he price would jump
to 26 cents because farmers
Claim Farmers Need Monopoly
would be asking for higher prices and distributors said any price increase granted would be passed along to consumers.
More and more housewives were turning to powdered milk because of the high fluid milk price. Halifax consumers not only had to pay high prices for milk but also for apples and potatoes produced in surrounding farms.
The distributing charges ‘and -price spreads on these products were much too -high.
Touching on the province’s milk marketing controls, com- mission member Malcolm Drum- mond of Guelph, 0nt., said that while the agriculture federation seemed to criticize the widening -producer-consumer price spread. it was all in favor of pricing un- der the milk board.‘
Therefore it would seem that as«far as farmers were con- cerned; in-fle’xi'bility “has a vir- tue after all.” Had the milk con- trols brought a widening pro- ducer-consumer price spread?
Eisenhower And Dulles To Visit Ottawa In July

DU-R:H>AM, N.I-I. (AP-) — State Secretary Dulles said Friday night Russia’s veto of Pres- ident Eisenhower’s Arctic inspec-

pared text to deplore the &viet Union’s veto of theplan in the United Nations. Security Council ea.rlier in the day.
“At the choice of the Soviet Union,” Dulles said, “the fears and risk continue. They continue for one reason alone, and that is because the Soviet Union rejects international inspection against surprise attack.”
“The significance of that is frightening,” Dulles said. “The result is tragic. It means that at the will and choice of the Soviet Union we shall have to go on liv- ing on the edge of an awful albyss from which we could so readily, be rescued if only the Soviet Union did not insist upon retain- lug for itself the possibility of .massive sun-prise -attack."

1. Permanent domination of Eastern European countries.
2. Continuing the partition of Germany or uniting the country under conditions forcing it into the ‘Communist camp.
3. Dismantling de f e n c e alli- ances such as NATO.
4. Achieving diplomatic ‘rec- ognition of Communist China by the United States or its admit- tance into the United Nations. while winning acceptance of Pei- _ping’s claim to Formosa.
5. Wiping out Western trade controls that limit strategic war goods shipments to the Commu- nist bloc.
Dulles called attention to what he called these “negotiating goals” in an address prepared for delivery at the University of New Hampshire.
Dulles planned only a brief stop- over in Durham, en route from Washington to Copenhagen, Den- mark, where he will meet Mon- day with the foreign ministers of other NATO countries. At this NATO session he will press his drive for Soviet agreement to an Arctic inspection zone and care- ful preparation of a summit con- ference.
CHALLENGES SINCERITY
On leaving Washington this at- ternoon, he ch-allenged Russia to prove its sincerity about a sum- mit conference. He said the Rus- sians could do this by taking a favorable attitude toward the U.S. proposal for an Arctic inspection system to quiet fears of attack by either Russia or the United States across the North Pole.
In his speech Dulles proclaimed the U.S. government's belief there can be “carefully negotiated agreements of mutual interest" with Russia -despite the present

Six Dwellings Destroyedfl By Fire In So. Bathurst
BATHURST, N. B; (CP)-Six were burned in South Bathurst-Friday night when strong wind swept flames from one dwelling to another. _ Another fire, at East Bathurst, destroyed a residence occupied by a family of 11. The two out- breaks left 55 persons homeless. The later fire, at South Bath-
.urst, started at 10 p.m. in the home of Gerald Frenette.
When firemen arrived the flames had jumped to the home of Ernest Chiasson, also occupied by another family.
The blaze then continued into homes of Patrick Hachey, Mrs. Adelard Caisse, Francis Roy and a vacant residence.
LOSE ALI. POSSESSION S
Most of the families lost all their possessions.
Dwellings in the district south of Dumaresque Street on the out- skirts of Bathurst are close to- gether. The wind-swept fire cut a straight line from west to east
and nearly reached a heavily pop-
ulated area on King Avenue. .Spreads of the flames was helped by a lac-k of water as well as the wind. The South Bathurst area lacks hydrants and has no fire department of its own. Bath- urst and East Bathurst firemen answered alarms.
Bright moonlight helped fire- men as they la-id long lines to bring in water. Thousands of mo- torists and pedestrians jammed roads to the district, attracted by the flames which were visible for miles. -
The earlier fire, at East Bath- urst, destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Roy and their nine children. All escaped injury from the fire which spread from an overheated stove pipe.
Nothing could be saved. Fire- men were unable to reach the scene because bridges leading to the house were washed out.
HARDEST HIT
Hardest struck in South Bath- urst was the home of Patrick Hachey, occupied by 16 persons. In the house were lV.[r. and Mrs.
Hachey and two unmarried older
children; Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred I-Iachey and six children. a mar- ried daughter, Mrs. James Bou- dreau, her husband and two children. '
Mrs. Adelard Caissie fled from her small home as the flames spread and carried her two chil- dren with her. Her husband is a patient in the Valley Lourdes san- itorlum. '
Other parents had to get small children out of bed and take them to shelter in the cold night. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Roy snatched their two children and fled with- out saving any furniture or cloth- ing. -
Eddy’s father, Francis Roy, left his burning home after ushering out his wife and four children. His home was one of the few not entirely burned.
Another home was,o‘ccu-pied by 11 persoris, the family of Gerald Frenette. This dwelling was the second to go up in flames.
The homeless were sheltered by relatives and friends while authorities planned assistance.

He left Elysee Palace more; than an hour later and told re-‘ porters: “I asked to be freed from my task. M. Coty replied that he wanted to consult a num- ber of personalities before giving me his answer."
VOTE AGAINST COALITION
The Socialists Thursday night voted almost unanimously against joining Pleven’s planned coalition, following a speech to a party caucus by Socialist leader Guy Mollet. ,
Mollet urged the meeting to au-‘ thorize the party to vote for Pleven's investiture but not to take part in the ensuing govern- ment, France’s 25th since the war. ,
Pleven has tried to get agree- ment for an all-party government stretching from. the Conserva- tives to the Sociallsts._He has in- dicated he would not ask for as- sembly approval unless the so- cialists agreed to be in his cab- inet.
