Eisenhower

Replies To Bulganin

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi- dent Eisenhower called on Russia Wednesday night to work toward disarmament "within the frame- work of the United Nations" rather than through a five-power confer- ence such as the Soviet govern- ment proposed recently. This was the gist of a reply by Eisenhower to a Nov. 17 message to him from Soviet Premier Bul- ganin. Eisenhower's reply was made public by the White House.

In his November proposal. Bul- ganin called for Britain, Russia, the United States, France and In- die to join In a summit confer- ence to move toward disarma- meat.

STICK WITH UN

In his reply, sent to Moscow Tuesday night, the president left the door open for some such con- ference ln the future. saying:- "I could agree to a meeting- wltenever circumstances woui make it seem likely to accom-m pllsh a significant result."

However. Eisenhowc. went on to make it clear he feels this is not the time for such a big power conference. He added that in his opinion "deliberations within the frame work of the United Nations seem most likely to produce.n step for- ward ln the higltly complicated matter of disarmament." For that reason. the president said, "The United States will make further proposals there"-within the UN.

A reliable source in London said Wednesday that Prime Minister Eden has turned down the Bul- ganin Proposal for a disarmament conference. He ezild Eden's an- swer. which now ls in Moscow. will be delivered at the Kremlin as soon as the British embassy can get an appointment. The French reply is expected to be sirgil to those of Britain and the U. .

Pick Barbadoes As Site Of Sugar And Spice Capital

LONDON (Reuters) Three men who have never lived in the British West Indies suggested Wednesday that the proposed Brit- lSll Caribbean Federation create a federal capital on the Island of Barbados.

Ten of Britain's West Indian col- onies. with 2.000.000 to 3,000,000 persons. will be linked together being later this year.

The site of the federal capital ld d

is one of the unsolved issues among the "sugar and spice" ls- lands.

Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox- Boyd lappointed Sir Francis Mudie. Prof. H. Myles Wright and A. E. Cook in study the contro- versial problem "as wholly lin-

partial persons who have never resided in the West Indies." CLIMATE BEAUTY

They selected Barbados on the basis of availability of non-agrl- cultural land and climate. They also considered the beauty and views they feel a capital should have. They gave second prefer- ence to Jamaica. largest island in the group. and third place to Trin-

a

The commission frowned on the proposal by the Trinidad govern- ment that temporary govern- mental headqunrtcrs be estab- lished in unused buildings at the United States naval base at Cha- gunrmas.

"We consider that it would be

highly damaging to the prestige of the new federation to have its capital even temporarily situated in an area which is under the con- trol of a foreign power. however. friendly that power may be." they said.

Any capital. they said. should be big enough to have a popula- tion of at least 10,000 persons. The estimated cost of such a town would be no less than f:10,000.000.

"The capital should be the place which will draw people from all the islands and foster the growth of that West Indian patriotism which is essential if the federation is to be a success or indeed to have any real meaning at all." they said.

Many Communities Facing Food, Fuel, Mail Problems

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

Delivery of food. fuel and mail loom as the all-important problem for a long list of Canadian com- munitics serviced only by the Canadian Pacific Railway as the company's firemen went on strike Wednesday.

Although most of the commun- ities affected can be reached by roads. trucks will be hard-pressed to meet essential demands. let alone keep up routine deliveries a Canadian Press survq indi- cates. .

The strike also threatens to cur- tall or close down production la many industries. including the 6.- 000-man Consolidated Mining and Smelling plant at Tr-all, B.C..

These villages. with a combined population of about 4,500. have been stockpiling food and fuel to meet the strike.

Mayor Leo Raclcot of Cliapleau said there is a week's supply of food on hand. The town's power utility alone uses 3,000 gallons of fuel oil a day. and there was”im- mediata ' " of the supply running out.

The CPR had offered to sug- ntettttlte town supply from its own stock as long as possible. but the hospital has already been given priority on oil supplies. ,

Temperatures throughout this area have generally been below zero for several days, and little relief was promised by long-range forecasts.

MONTREAL iCP) - Paralysis enveloped the vast rail network of the Canadian Pacific Railway Wednesday as ti firemen"; strike became effective at 4 p.m. local time.

Operations were tied up from coast to coast. Maritime points were the first affected-at 4 p.m. Atlantic time- Four hours later. at 4 p.m. Pacific time. trains came to a halt in British Colum- bia.

Union chief W. E. Gamble in- spected pickets at Windsor Sta- tion, where CPR President N. R. Crump's office is located. At about the some time Mr. Crump issued a statement offering to run trains if unions other than the firemen's union will work.

Anti he added that if the Broth- erhood of Locomotive Firemen and Flnginemen (CLCJ "accepted the report of the conciliation board not one fireman would suffer loss of employ...e..t or earnings." The union already has rejected the re-

port.

Mr. Gamble toured picket points -and read a statement he sent Wednesday to Acting Prime Min- lster Howe-as the strike became effective in the central region. CPR operates in eight provinces and five time zones. excluding Prince Edward Island and New- foundland.
