' Lord’ Boyd)-Orrf*Gives Jolt To Guests At Peace Dinner NEW YORK (CP) — Scotland’: 77-year-old Lord Boyd-Orr jolted the guests at a posh “peace 'din.-ner" here Saturday night with such crusty words as “suicide" and ‘‘stupidity'' regarding cold war policies. Underdeveloped countries, he said, don’t want to be “bought” by the Americans or “bullied” by the.Russians. They want help as equals "with no strings a-tt-ached," said Boyd- Orr, former director of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Or- ganization. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949, he was speaker at In American Nobel Anni ersary committee dinner along w th Can- ada's L. B. Pearson. “Ideological conflict is out of date and stupid/’he said. Russia decried the evils of capl- _talism, but based its concepts on iiygone days and such things as slavery, he added. The West tended to despair of real peace while Russia remains Communist, but should realize that any at- lefllpt to destroy communism by $ would result in mutual sui- e." SHOULD CUT BUDGETS “Now may I make a bold sug- Cestion.” said Boyd - Orr. "Let America and Soviet Russia and their allies and satelli-tes agree to :31!” their defence budget by 10 per “Five per cent of the saving He challenged the Russians to agree with the United States, at “a decisive moment in history,” that space should be “denied to the purposes of war." Another presidential proposal was that Russia and the United States agree to renounce use of their veto power in the United Na- tions Security Council when deal- ing with settlement of disputes. He also proposed that testing of burden of taxation with the other five per cent to go into an inter- national fund for the development authority under the United Na- tions to develop poor countries and to put an end to hunger and disease.” The plan would be managed by businessmen. Repayment would be expected in the future. Five per cent of such budgets. said Boyd-Orr, would amount to $6,- 000,000,000. Sir Leslie Munro of New Zea- land, president of the United Na- tions General Assembly, said in answer to a question from the floor later that Boyd-0rr's pro- posal had been heard in varying forms in UN committees for five years. “But not from Russia," added. HUMILIATION PROSPECT Boyd-Orr said "aid given with political strings and not on busi- ness lines humilia-tes the receiver. The poor relative hates the rich uncle though prepared to take his money. “Russia is much more subtle.It offers aid on business lines which do not humiliate. For example, Russia loans money to China bal- anced with interest which is be- ing paid and the equipment sold to China is balanced by exports of raw materials to Russia. China is not humiliated.” Boyd-Orr said "certainly" the U.S. is making a mistake in not he Vflgo to reduce the intolerable Growing Support Seen In I U. K.

CONCEALED WEALTH The vast Sahara is believed to conceal huge deposits of “black gol ” beneath its sands. Pluton- ium, iron, manganese, nickel, copper, platinum, coal and even diamonds also are believed hidden in quantity in the desert. An official blackout was put on the shipment acros the wild country because of activity by rebel Algerian Moslems. A train was wrecked travelling on ‘the same line three days before. . The French-government now is considering about 24 applications for Sahara - prospecting conces- sions from majorworld oil firms including Canadian. It is 100 years since the French started to “pacify" the nomadic tribes of the Sahara. For years the mineral wealth beneath the sands lay undetected.

As New Liberal OTTAWA (CP) — The Liberals may seize on the unemployment crisis as a major issue to force a federal election. Some observers believe the new Liberal chief-tain to be selected at the three-day convention opening Tuesday may challenge Prime Minister Diefenbaker within a few days after. _ This means the Liberals may move their first motion of non- confidence in the Progressive Conservative government, charg- ing unemployment was aggra- vated by mishandling of economic problems. . Indications are that the CCF likely would support the Liberals. though the Social Credit and the two independents might side with the government. Thus Mr. Diefenbaker might be able to squeeze through I narrow victory. But because of the strength of the Opposition, he might accept the challenge and agree to an early election. One forecast is -that the vote will be held April 14. JOBLESS CAUSE ALARM Both Lester B. Pearson -and Paul Martin, main contenders for -the. Liberal leadership, have ex- pressed alarm at the rise in un- employment.-On Friday the gov- ernment announced job applicants had increased to some 700,000 at the end of December, double the number a year previous. Mr. Pearson said in an inter- view that “outside of war and peace, there is nothing closer to the min d s of Canadians than jobs." He said his first concern, if he becomes Liberal leader, will be to bring the party back to a ,“nor- mal opposition" in the Commons. "party harrefused to aiy‘ motion Opposition leader St. Laurent had stated he would give the new gov- ernment an opportunity to carry out -its promises. Mr. Martin said the number of unemployed is “alarming.” He charged “floundering" by the Conservatives in trade policy is one reason. ' EARLY VOTE LIKELY? .. ..\- CCF leader M. J.

Interviewed in a hotel lobby, Truman said the president “was a great military commander in Europe and in NATO, when he had someone to tell him what to do." .
