LONDON, (Reuters) — Differ- ences over Indo-China policy are widening into the most serious breach of recent times between Britain and the United States. dip- lomatic quarters said -Thursday.

Differences oi opinion on the need for immediate diplomatic and military intervention in Indo-China have been simmering for the last month. since Britain refused to undertake direct military inter- vention in Vlet Nam shortly be- fore the fall of men Blen Phu.

‘The differences over, several ia- sun:

Garson Opposes Binding Mercy Recommendations

OTTAWA. (CP) — Justice Min- ister G-arson said Tuesday auto- matic commutstion of the death penalty when juries recommend mercy for murder in effect would give juries the discretion to im- pose or withhold capital punish- ment. ‘

At present, hanging in man- ,datory for persons guilty of mur- ider and other capital offences. un- lass the sentence is commuted to life imprisonment by the cabinet. .Some witnesses have urged that juries decide whether the death penalty should be imposed. 'l‘h‘ls procedure, they said, would lead to eventual abolition of capital punishment. Others have said the rcleiiih sentence should remain man- dntory. -

The procedure and factors enter- ing automatic consideration of commutatlons of the death penalty in murder cases were described by Mr. Garsnn' to the Commons- Scnnte committee on capital pun- ishment. »

The committee. studying whether the Criminal Codc's sections on‘ capital punishment should be amended. was informed at the same time that the only execu- tioner in Canada is willing to ap- pear_ss ti witness under certain iunniimed circumstances.

CPR-Imperial; i Oil lose Case Over Oil Rights

O’f'rAwA, (CP)—'I‘ho supreme Court. of Canada has thrown out the claims of the Canadian Pacific Railway and Imperial Oil Ltd. in connection with oil rights on a piece of Alberta land owned by Anton Turta of Leduc. Alta.

The court, in is majority judg- ment handed down Wednesday. ruled that the registrar who cor- rooted an alleged error in a cer- tificate of title exceeded hi: authority. The correction, made in 1943, was not authorized by the Land Titles Act and therefore had no effect.

The issue arose out I transfer of an Alberta quarter section of land by the CPR to Mike. Nodgorny in 1908. reserving coal and petrol- eum rights in the land.‘Howevev'. evidence was that the registrar. in making the transfer, ruerved only the coal rights to the CPR.

The error was not detected until 35 Years later. Land titles office of- ficials changed the certificates of title to show the CPR. having the right both to coal and oil.

On this basis. CPR gave Imper- ial Oil Ltd. I-lh.0DlI0n to lease the oil and natural gi-iii under this sec- tion and in 1951 Imperial Oil ‘or-

The service's recommendations— after study of all trial evidence. reports of the investing police. judge‘: hotel. appeals court decl- iiioiis. and rrports of jail govern- ors—ls passed to the cabinet by the solicitor - general who makes his own recommendation.

Mr. Giirson said the final deci- sion rests with the cabinet .whli-.li on occasion, goes agniiist the re- commendations of the solicitor - general.

Sacred Writings - Uncovered Near lericho Recently

MONTREAL. (GP) —— Montreal's McGill University has obtained valuable fragments of the Old Testament and other -non-biblical writings _tran'scrlbed in the days of Christ by a little-known Hebrew cult.

The announcement was made Friday by Dr. F. Cyril James, McGill's principal and vlcc-chan- cellor.

Details of the transaction were also given by Dr. R. B. Y. Scott of lhe divinity school slid Dr. Wil- frid Cantwcll Smith] head of the university's institute of Islamic studies.

The fragments were found in ii i-emote cave at Khirbet Qumran. 10 miles from -Jericho, near where in 1941 the famed Dead Sea scrolls were discovered in an earthcriware jar by a wandering Arab.

Following the 1947 find. which included a complete Hebrew text of the Old Tcstiimcnt Book of Isaiah, 700 years more ancient than any previoiisly unearthed. tribesmen and scientists searched the area for further manuscripts

COST 315.000

The new fragmciiis acre depos- ited in the cave by the Fisciics br- lore they were dispersed by ad- vancing Roman armies in 70 AD One quarter of the fragments was bought for $15,000 by the univer- sity before examinatioi-i—a condi- tion of the sale—-although it was known from Jordan government officials who had acquired the bal- ance of the fragments that they were important.

Dr. Scott described the collection as of "utmost importance for the study of Judaism in the time of Christ and for the study of the Old Testament text.". He said the material would keep scholars oc- cupied for the next 50 years.

Under McGill‘s agreement. with the Jordan government the frag- ments will remain at. the Palestine Museum in Jerusalem to be cor- related. with other ftnds before being shipped to Canada.

McGill‘s chance to acquire the collection came when the Jordan government. ran out of funds.

Between November 1951 and sep- tember 1952, tribesmen uncovered the ancient scrolls in a series of live caves. The Jordan govern- ment bought the first of the find and gave McGill and other insti- tutloiis a chance to buy the re- inalnder.

73% N. Z. '3 Adults Wear False Teeth

Wl!:u..ING'I‘ON. lReuters>— New Zealanders are said to have the worst teeth in the world and den- tlshs blame this condition on a lack of fluorine in the diet.

seventy-three per cent of New zcnlands adult population wear false teeth.

Dentists have recommended that flourine be added to the dririking water to help rectify the deficiency. but their pleas have met stiff op- position.

An organization called the Anti-

Fliioridatioii society has been forced by a group of persons to resist what they describe as “a mass medication scheme which is igainst all drrnocratic principles." Excess of fluorine, those people claim, has ill effects on the heart. bones and kidneys. ‘ So far, the only place in Neil zealand where fluorine is addcc. to drinking water is at Hashing ivlicre the borough council lnaugiii'~ ited a scheme last May in spilt of much local and national opposi- tion from the Anti-Fluoridizatior. Society.

Plans have been msde_for an .illllll2lI examination of Hastings‘ w(‘hDOI children and their teeth will an compared with those of school children at Napier, a town a fer miles away.

The heaviest blows against thc Anti-Fluorldization Society's can have been dealt by -dental expcri: from Europe and North America who came to Wellington for 7 world health organization dentai seminar.

These dentists said that for pre- vention of dental decay. artiiicia‘ flunridizatioii. where the natural content. or the drinking water is insufficient. has had astounding results in their countries.

Whatever the outcome of the controversy. authorities hope that it will jolt. the New Zealander out of his lethargy towards what has become a national problem.
