Tom Goode (L—Burnaby-Rich. mondi said: "My experience has been entirely different.‘

Dr. C. B. Lumsdcn of Wolfvllle. N s.. legion president, said in re. piy to Ml‘. Goode that the legion has 3 great many more such cases on its files.

MADE RETROACTIVE

He said it would take the legion nearly two months to supply In. curate figures for the last 10 _vears—“We have no statistical mt-lip like the government"-— but admitted the number of cases is small compared to the total num- her of pension claims handled by iire commission.

By AIDCII MICKENZIE IDNDON, (CP)—Babotage has not been ruled out as the cause of the troubles of Britain's ailing Comet jetllncr but the head of the British Overseas Airways Corpora- tion said today it is difficult to see what sort of sabotage could have taken place.

BOAC president Sir Miles Thom- as reviewed the Comet‘s tragic history Wednesday and said in- tensive investigations are continu- ing into the three separate but similar air disasters involving the aircraft.

Sir Miles told a luncheon meet- int: he has unbounded confidence that the comet will fly again. It might develop that the crashes‘ were due to something as simple as the tire blowouts that used to mystify the a- tomobile industry.

OTHER. DETAILS

He mentioned these other tails:

The condition of the recovered bodies made it difficult to see what type of sabotage could have been inflicted. There was no evi- dence of bleeding and none of burning.

Other tests being conducted in- volved tho "bursting" of the pres- surised comet cabin by forcing in air. Dyed fuel had been used to see whether hasty refuelling methods might have deposited enough fuel on a wing‘a trailing edge to start a fire or explosion.

PIIIONAI: HUNG]!!!

sir Miles had three "personal" huncl-ics—ell virtually ruled out now—wt-rich centered on the fail- ure of the rotor on one of the four engines. on overcharging of batteries in the equipment bay

For Arranging Peace In lndo-China

By Lynn Heinzerling

GENEVA, (APi—l-lope of achiev- ing peace in the jungle war of Indo- China faded almost to the vanish- ing: point at the Geneva conference \\'edncsday night. .

East and West suspcnded negot- iations for an armistice for one day after devoting more than three hours to wrangling over an old dis- pute-recognition of the so-called "phantom governments" of Laos and Cambodia.

Pham Van Dong, the Vietminli fnrciizn niinistr-r, spent 1 1-2 hours tr_\-lug to persuade the West. to iri- vito dclcgations of the two "re- sistance" governments to Geneva.

The West is unanimous in re- gardlng those grivci'nment.s as Com- munist inventions with no claims to conference seats. Delegates of the western-recognized govern- ments of Laos and Cambodia spoke Bill?!’ Dflllll. 8 conference SOUTCE said, and reiterated their opposi- tlon to Dong‘s proposals.

OTTAWA, (CP)—Canadlan un- employment went down in April, but more slowly than in usual with the onset of warm weather.

Government figures issued Wed- nesday indlcated employment was up from March but down from April of 1951. Unemployment was sharply higher than a yesr earlier.

The figures produced renewed demands from Canada‘; two larg- eat union organiast.ions—the Trades and Labor congress of Canada and the Canadian Congrau of Labor-—-for federal action to stem unemployment or ease its effects.

The government survey, issued Jointly by the labor department and the bureau of statistics, showed these figures:

1. At April 15. there were 840.02! persons looking for work through the government's national employ- nisnt ssrvloe .down 30,370 from a month earlier but up 170,508 from the same time in me.
