Molotov was reported to have expressed a desire Wednesday that the delegates get down to discus- sion of the draft proposals of an armistice. particularly the mil- itary aspects.

The western powers have said

they would resist any participation by those groups in Geneva negotia- tions..

A major provision of the French proposal for ending the war would separate the problems of Laos and Cambodia from the pi posed ar- mistice in Viet Nam.

in B. C. Shows Improvement

VANCOUVER, (CP) — Cautious optimism was reflected in a spec» ial interim snow report which was issued Thursday in the wake o flood waters that boiled over the banks of the Similkameen riven ill six places.

The report, issued by the comp- Iroller of water rights in Victoria, says the flood potential in British Cctumbis has improved somewhat since May 1. but warns that peak discharges on most streams are “almost certain."

stressing that "high peak dis- charges" do not necessarily mean widespread flooding or heavy dam- age. the report shows that between 20 and 30 per cent of the snow pack has melted already in the areas of the major rivers-Colum- bia, Kootemy and Fraser.

As the simlikameen overflowcd its -banks. cutting roads and rail lines. and similar small streams spilled over. the Columbia. and Kootenay continued their relen:- less climb at the rate of about as foot in day.

Although trouble centred on the slmilkameen. flood relief organiz- ations at Crsnbrook. Kimberley and Nelson were standing by and public works crews were working round- the-clock to hold swollen streams in check.

IVIONTREAL. fCP'—Tho burned bodies of two boys. 11 and six years old. were found Thursday in the basement of their home and their widowed mother dead in an upstairs bedroom from poison.

Police said they believe 29.year- old Mrs. Jacquelina Choinier first poisoned the children. then satur- ntcd their clothing with some in- flammable liquid and set it afire. Then she went to her bedroom and drunk -poison.

Mra. Choinier and the boys- Richard and Jacques—lived in their neat. nicely furnished one- and-a-half storey bungalow in Vlllflray. I northern section of Montreal. The woman‘: husband, L. P. Choinier. died last July.

OTTAWA, (CP) — Defence Minister Cla5rt_on said Thursday that nine out of 10 planes of a Russian force attacking North America would be destroyed by continen- tal air defences.

However, he added in the lead-off of a Commons de- bate on defence estimates, that percentage of kills was ‘still not good enough and that "no doubt additional steps will be taken from time to time," to strengthen continental defences.
