NEEDS FURTHER STUDY

The Premier said there was a number of people, who felt the problem should be given further study and suggested that a com- mittee be set up to Inquire into if. from all possible angles.

He noted that a committee had been set up last year but three of the members were from the Op-

sltlon and did not return to the

ouse. "It would be wise to re- instate that commlttee." he said.

R.R. Bell said the act was a worrisome matter but there is pro- bably nothing wrong with it. "The ldlfflculty is to get the wheels of .Industry and agriculture to mesh together," he said. "There is a possibility of working a disadvant- age on agriculture however."

He recalled that during war times different trades were given stipulated rates of pay on war con- tract here. He also noted that a local contractor engaged In the building of the Canada Packers plant paid first class carpenters M cents and a little later took a contract in Sydney where they paid 31.75 per hour. "Our cost of liv- ins 1! ll-I8! as high all it is in Sydney." he observed.

LONDON (Reuters) - Two top Russian visitors to Britain found themselves in hot water Friday night-one because he is disliked on principle and the other because be insulted the country's boiler- makers.

Ever since he arrived here Thursday. Gen. Ivan Sernv, the Russian security chief. has been subject to press abuse which shows no signs of moderating.

A sidewalk interview with re- porters won him no respite from the title "Ivan the Terrible."

When he returned to the Soviet embassy rlday night after talks with Britis police and a visit to Claiidges hotel. he declined fur- ther meetlngs with the press. His visit to the hotel, frequent slop- plng-plsce of royalty. indicates that rooms are being reserved there for Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganln and Nikita Khrushchev the Com- munist party chief. when they come to London next month.

Later, as he was leaving the em- bassy, Serov told a reporter, through his interpreter: "I think the umnity arrangements in this country are very good." I

He refused any further com- ment.

Dulles said he found no Asian leader who did not agree that the United States must be militarily strong. None of them, he said, be- lieved that the U.S.,wsnts war or should disarm itself alone.

"The spot in the Far East where. at the moment, conflict most threatens is the Taiwan (Formosa area," Dulles said.

In a strong plea for support of the Eisenhower administration's request for nearly 35.000.000.000 in foreign aid. Dulles said "the fruits of that plan will, in the course of time. richly repay us."

The secretary asserted that he returns from Asia "encouraged." He said "there is profound dc- slre for peace" and an awareness that modern war with its wide- spread devastation "provides no clear solution to any problem."

Dulles asked for American un- derstanding of Asian culture. He said '”they also have things to

"There Is, of course. no magic formula for reproducing elsewhere economic productivity like ours. .

Asian leaders understand this; and do not expect American helpi "to change their economic over-1 night." he said. But he said they; do expect to get on a path toward improved economic and social con- ditlons. .

LOS ANGELES (AP)-Reaching out from the front of his fast moving locomotive, an engineer scooped up and tossed to safety a two-year-old girl who had run onto the track to rescue her dog. '

Engineer Frank Meyers, 50. said after the incident Thursday:

"I saw that she had frozen there. She put her hands up to her face and began to cry. I scrambled down the steps to the footboard and reached out. We were still moving pretty fast.

"I was afraid to grab her be- cause I might not get a good hold,
