The 00-year-old Nationalist leader and his wife. who was taken ill with heart trouble earlier this year. will settle at their home in Stcllenbosch, 25 miles each of Cape- town.

Malan told Dis Transvaler in a statement that he always had be- lieved a leader ought to know

when he must hand over the reins. He added that naturally there were important matters he would like to have seen com- pleted.

U. S. Defence Sec'y Wilson Says

Remarks Twisted in

DETROIT fAP)- Defence Sec- retary Charles Wilson said Tues- day his remarks at a press con-

ference M o n d a y about Jobless workers and bird dogs had been distorted in an effort to make pol- itical capital against the Repub- icsns.

Wilson issued a statement elab- orating on the story told Monday which touched off a political storm and brought angry replies from persons who interpreted it as a slap at unemployed workers.

Wilson's a t a to m e n t. followed shortly upon one by President Ela- onhowor expressing full confidence in the defence secretary.

Wilson. always blunt.-spoken. got things going with an offhand re- mark. He said that while he had "a lot. of sympathy" for Jobless

Grinning broadly. he added:

"The bird dngs like to go out and hunt. around for their food. but the kennel dogs just sit on their fanny and yell."

Heads of both the AFL and C10 joined in criticizing Wilson for his remarks. Democratic and Repub- lican spokesmen also entered the debate. with some Republicans saying they thought Wilson's re- marks werc a bit. strong.

Tuesday Wilson explained his story by saying: .

"I certainly intended no in- dividious comparisons. nor insinua- lions likening people to dogs in any sense. And for any one to imply that I did or under any circum- stances would think that way is a complete distortion of facts.

confirms Russian Subs Off ii.S.-Canada coasts

OTTAWA (CP)-NATO's Atlan- tic commander said Tuesday Rus- sian submarines have appeared and are continuing to be detected in North American coastal waters.

"We have them (Russian aub- marines) in the Atlantic and Pac- ific though there has been no in- crease in their numbers lately.” American Admiral Jerauld Wright told reporters on his arrival here for a two-day visit from hi's'head- quarters at Norfolk. Va.

Asked about Tuesday's report by Tess. official Soviet news agency. denying that Russian subs are op- erating along the Canadian coasts. Admiral Wright cracked:

”Becausc it's in Tess doesn't lend it authenticity."

Tass classed as a "downright invention" a recent statement by Vice-Admiral E. R. Mainguy. chief of the Canadian naval staff. that Russian submarine activity off Canada's coasts had been reported continually during the last 18 months.
