Budgetary Surplus lowest Since War

OTTAWA (CP)-The government went into the red by 085,157,000 in June, cutting the budgetary sur- plus for the first three months of the 1954-55 fiscal year to 3109.044.- D00. the lowedt in the post-war ens.-

Revenues. declined. particularly in the field of corporation and per- sonal income ltaxes. There was some reduction in defence expend- itures. but public debt charges. payments to provinces and family allowances were heavier.

The June treasury statement. issued Friday by Finance Min- ister Harrls, showed that revenues for the month dropped to 3319,- 5B5.000 from S37l.932.000 in June last year.

.lune expenditures eased to 3384,- 'i42,000 from ;38'l.l41,000 last year, mainly because of smaller spend- ing on the army and air force. This reduced spending for the first quarter to S846,054.000 from si1e5,527.ooo in the first three months a year ago. .

With expenditures for June well ahead of receipts. the govern- ment's accounts were in the red by It -.t05,l5'l,000, some four times faster than the 515,209,000 deficit 11 June last year.

'l'he surplus for the first quarter was 3109.0-14.000. sharply below the :lB5.037,000 for the first three months last year. when the gov- ernment ended the fiscal year with a surplus of only 324,000,000. This year the government aims for a surplus of 34,000,000. but there is some possibility. based on the cur- ent .trend. that a small annual deficit. the first in post-war years. may develop. '

lawyers Argue Al Coffin Trial

PERCE, Que., (CP)-The legal status of Wilbert Coi'fin's common- law wife sparked an argument at the murder trial of the 43-year-old prospector Friday in a session that had Jury members filing 'ln and out of court to avoid clashes be- tween crown and defence counsel.

Francois Gravel, one of CoiIin's lawyers. challenged the crown's right to call Miss Petrie to the wit- ness box since she and Coffin were known as man and wife. .

The jury was ordered out of the courtroom for the third time Fri- day while Mr. Justice Gerard La- croix heard arguments regarding Miss Petrie's appearance as a crown witness. He did not hand down a decision immediately.

Gravel said Miss Petrie, a tall, shapely brunette, had lived with Coffin since i946 and they were known by their church as Mr. and Mrs. Coffin. He said a son born to Miss Petrie was called James Coffin and she signed all her let- ters "Marion Petrie Coffin".

TAX RECOGNITION

He added that the federal rev- enue department recognized them as man and wife for income tax purposes and Coffin gave Miss Petrle financial support for both herself and her son.

Coffin is accused of the murder of Richard Lindsey. 17, whose mutilated body was found in the Gaspe bush last July along with those of his father, Eugene, 47, and Albert Clear. 20. All were from I-Iolidaysburg. Pa.

' Hy FOREST EDWARD!

HANOI, (AP)-Viet Nsmose no- man Catholics streaming into na- noi ahead of Communist-led Viet- minh occupation forces said Pri- dly Red sympathiaers had strip- Ped many of their money and val- usblds.

"'I'heY stopped the trucks on the edge of the towns, and climbed through them, taking our money arid'whstever else they saw that they wanted." said one refugee of a 3,000-strong contingent fi-omtthei catholic belt.

By truck, bus, and on foot. the refugees began:pouring- into this crowdedtcity Thursday night in the first appearance of massed flight from the Red river delta country- side aince the cease-fire went into effect Tuesday. , CAUGHT OFF GUARD

Viet Namese officials here were amarently caught off guard. No preparations had been made for hoiistng or feeding the refugees. The first trucks unloaded throngs, with their baggage. near a. Gath- olie school. Others followed.

streets and alleys were jammed with- confused men, women and children who had no place to go. Nuns opened classroom doors and

hundreds surged in to sleep on-

floors and desks. The rest slept in the school courtyard and on the strips of grass between pave- ment curbs and building walls.

' A member of a. Catholic militia unit that fought the Vietmlnl-i near his hometown of Luc Nam. 40 miles northeast of Hanoi. said those who robbed the fleeing refu- gees were not Vietminh soldiers.

ROBBED BY NEIGHBORS

"They were people from our own towns and villages who like the Vietmlnh." he stated. "They did not have guns that I could see. but there were many of them. They tried to talk us into staying. But if we would not remain, they robbed us. They let the military trucks go by.”

Premier Ngo Dinh Diem appeal- ed Thuraday to the 13,000,000 Viet Namese north of the 17th parallel to make a mass migration south- ward. He announced a 542,500,000 program to move and resettle some 700,000 persons. The problem of air and ship transport. Diem add- ed, has been solved with the help of friendly nations.

In Taipeh, Formosa. the Na-

tionalist Ohinese Tato news agen- cy said Friday Russia and Red China have agreed to aid the eco- nomic buildup of North Viet Nam.

Gives -Reason? For Suicide

"BERLIN (Reuters? Formei West German security chief Otto John claimed Friday that Ameri- can agent Wolfgang E. Hoefer committed suicide because he was 'i1ed up" with American counter- espionage work.

In a statement issued by the Communist East German news agency ADN, John said the Ameri-

I can agent who killed himself'here

last Friday had appealed to him for help in finding new work.

He said he had a meeting with Hoefer. an old friend. in Berlin on July 16 before he himself went over to the Communists.

John's statement quoted I-ioefer as saying he could "no longer bear" working as a counter-espion- age agent and.contended he had been assigned to spy on John by the American authorities in Ger- many.

The reason for spying on him, John said, was that "the Ameri- cans virtually regarded me only as a British agent."

He declared that Hoefer was "broken by the misuse to which the C IC (Counter Intelligence Corps) subjected him."

U.S. officials Friday night said they could not immediately com- ment on the charges made in the statement, but U.S. authorities ear- lier had denied there was any con- nection between Hoeferls suicide

-and the John case.
