Western 3 Charge Russia Is Spreading Fear In Mideast

LONDON (OP) - Russia was charged by the Western Big Three with spreading fear in the Middle East while at the same time talk- ing piousiy of peace.

Britain. the United stains and France made public parallel notes

Any Soviet contribution toward relaxing tension there "must in directed-to (this) central prob lcm." the British note said.

"The Soviet government has so far made no constructive and re slistic pi , in this . , "

The United States message chided Russia for using force to quell last faills revolt in Common- lst Hungary and also said Russia has launched a "campaign of threat and intimidation" at as- tions bordering Soviet territory which have joined in mutual do- fence. such as the Baghdad Pact.

”Public attacks upon govern- merits of these states. together with subversive intervention is their domesti affairs give them good cause to seek the strengthen- ing of their security. as mriain states in the Middle East now are doinll." the note added.

The notes were in reply to a soviet proposal made April is call- ing for an East-West pledge of non - interference la the Middle East and an arms embargo as the price of the West scrapping the Baghdad Pact and the Eisen- hower doctrine of aid to the area.

Comments On NB Potato Acreage

HARTLAND (CF) - This year's potato acreage in Carleton County will probably be about the same as last year's. Dr. R.W. Maxwell. Woodstock, district agrlculturalist. has reported.

Dr. Maxwell said the presult outlook indicated little change from the i966 picture. "Planting weather has been good and if weather continues favorable th the growing season there sh be a good sized potato crop in the county this year."

He said some of the largc growers have cut down on acreage but there appeared to be little change from the smaller gs-ower's standpoint.

Resignation Of Govt. Appears

OTTAWA (CP)-A revolutionary concept of sea warfare is being adopted by the Royal Canadian Navy. Tactics for the new strategy are being worked out.

The null of the new policy-big gest change in naval planning since the First World War-is that convoy protectitas would be only a subsidiary job for the RCN in a future war.

m main task wouQ be forma- tion of defensiva barriers far out in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to try to prevent submarines carrying nuclear-headed missiles from getting close to the Cana- dian seaboard.

has not changed. But the capabil- ity of the submarine has.

A submarine now had the caps- bility to fire a nuclear-tipped mis- sile 500 miles. One could stand 50 miles off New York and strike the heart of Toronto. Or from 500 miles out to sea it could hit Hal- ifax. Saint John. NB-. St. John's Nfid.. or Sydney. N.8.

Defence officials have said that Russia has built a fleet of more than 400 submarines-sevs. times bigger than the German U-boat pack when Hitler started the Second World War. .

Previous to evolution of the new strategy. the navy had judged that the war at sea would begin only some time after that on land and in the air had broken out. it then would convoy troops and supplies to Europe.

But now. with the new wespolw delivery capsbilit of the subma- rine. it is thought that the sea war might start at the same time
