IT. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CF) - A helicopter left Gander Tuesday to carry a doctor to ice-blocked Fair island as s new Arctic ice raft was reported heading down the Labrador co ast threatening to seal off communities not yet free of the last one.

The helicopter carrying a doc- tor to investigate an outbreak of influenza on that northeast coast island got away Tuesday after being held up three days by fog. The island. like many other com- munlties, is still blocked off by the last traces of a huge Arctic ice raft that sealed off the coast for five weeks.

Now. as this ice begins to move away, another ice field is drift- ing down the Labrador coast, plugging the Strait of Belle Isle and threating to pinch off the northeast coast.

Reports from Labrador and northern Newfoundland ports Tues- day said the new in field was about 120 miles long and 12 miles wide. At last reports it was stick- ing close to Labrador. but a change of wind would likely bring it down Mic ice-plagued northeast coast.

WORST IN HISTORY

Even before the new field was sighted. officials said ice condi- tions this year were the worst in modern history.

Chou Rules i Out Cease-Fira I Talks With U. S.

TOKYO tAPl - Premier Chou En-lai of Communist China has ruled out any Formosan cease- fire negotiations with the United States and has implied he will talk only about withdrawing U.S. forces guarding Formosa.

"There is no war between China and the United States anti so the qucsiion of the so-called cease- fire does not arise." he told the standing committee of the Na- tional People's Congress in Pet- ping last Friday. The speech was broadcast only Tuesday by Pei. ping radio.

On Formosa. Nationalist spokes- mrn said Chnuis aim was to drive the United States from the west- crn Pacific.

Chou's implied intent to limit any negotiations to the withdraw- al of U.S. forces from Formosa came in this passage: "The United States occupation of Taiwan iFormosal has created tension in the Taiwan area and this constitutes an international issue between China and the United States.

WILLING TO TALK

"The Chinese people do not want to have a war with the Uniicri States. To ease tension in the Taiwan area. the Chinese government is willing to sit down and enter into negotiations with the United States government." Chou was making his report in the committee on the Asian- African conference at Bandung. Indonesia. At Bandung April 23 Chou first offered to negotiate with ihe United States to "relax it-nslon" in the area of Formosa. (Continued on Page 2 col. 6)

The influenza outbreak on Fair island is the first epidemic to strike the coast since the ice moved in. There have been few details on the illness. although first reports said there appeared to be several different types. It was not known how long the

doctor would remain in the com- munity.

The proposed plan would, as ho suggested. call for a set tax rate for a certain period of years. say 10 or 15. during which time all iitided construction needed to take care of the increasing school population. would be incurred by the Government. There would be no repayment to be made at the expiration of that time.
