Canada Claims U. S. Violating Trade lrgily

OTTAIWA, (OP) --Canada de- scribed United States restrictions on imports'oi dairy products Wed- nesday as a violation of interna- tional trade pacts and urged that they be rescinded.

In R 453-word note the Canadian Government expressed to the new Republican administration "serious concern" at this ”iniringement” of agreements to which both the-gov ernmcnls of Canada and the U. S. are parties.

This is the third time Canada has criticized the curbs which in June. 19:51. placed a ceiling on American imports. of oils, fats, cheese and other dairy products.

Though opposed by former Pre- slden Truman. the curbs were im- posed during his reign by the US. Congress. Canada lodged two pre- vious protests. somewhat milder in tone. in August, 1951. and January,

a

other protests came from dairy- exporting countries in Europe and the South Pacific. In nn attempt to mollify these countries, the U. eased the restrictions slightly last June by increasing import quotas by 15 per cent.

But the exporters were further angered when the restrictions again were expanded last Decembcr by the inclusion of dried milk pro- ducts.

liefusesTo Accept Apology For Bombing

LONDON. (AP)-Mbscow radio announced Thursday that the So- viet Union has broken off diplo- matic relations with Israel.

The break came three days after terrorists bombed the soviet lega- tion in Tel Avlv. Four of the iega. tion personnel, including the wife of the soviet minister. Pavel I. Yershov, were injured.

The bombing was attributed generally to anti-Zionist charges in Moscow in connection with a purge of nine doctors. some of them Jewish. The doctors were accused of destroying or attempt- ing to destroy some top Soviet leaders.

Charge Connlvance

The announcement of the break came it few hours after a Moscow broadcast accused Israeli police of gconnivance” in the bomb explos- on.

Moscow radio said a formal note to Israel severing relations was "in connection with the bomb ex- plosion."

Israeli government headed by Premier David Ben. Gurion. already had denounced the bombing as a "dastardly" act Which they said reflected on the honor of the state of Israel. Auth- orities in Tel Aviv launched a roundup of suspects in connection with the bombing, arresting both Jews and Arabs in various parts of the country.

Pro-Soviet Rally

Anti-Communist up a pro-Soviet rally in the centre of Tel Avlv Thursday. The rally was a. protest to the legation bombing, Twenty-five Israelis were injured in the clash. two of them seriously. before police intervened.

In addition to the cloctorsf purge in Moscow. there have been sun- ilar purges of Jewish elements in Soviet satellite countries.

The broadcast quoted the Soviet official news agency Tass as say- inif Rumia has rejected fsrar-i's official condemnation of the bomb- ing and apologies for it.

"Such declarations and apologies of the Israeli government." the broadcast said, "are contradicted by numerous facts of direct partl- cipatlon of representatives of the Israeli government In fanning hatred for the Soviet Union and inciting to hostile actions against the U.S.S.R."
