UNRUFFLED BY ORITICIS lo_r_50 years, John Verner At various times he was called Pearson Says Diefenbaker Not Telling ”WhoIe Truth” WELLAND, Ont. (OP)-—Lester 3. Pearson toured the Niagara Peninsula, under warm, sunny Ikies Saturday, speaking to an estimated 2,500 persons at four stops. The Liberal leader appeared in Huh spirits. At the scenic Niagara Falls, he clowned with "porters and photographers, swinging a leg over a protective water railing, but jumping down 91% the cameras could be iiained on him. But his mood contrasted iharply as he spoke of Prime Ilister Diefenbaker, charging illat the Progressive Conserva- hve leader “did not seem to be telling the whole truth” in vari- WS speeches across the country. Speaking to an overflow audi- ence of 1,500 here Saturday night, I1_e said he had made a collec- tion of statements voiced by Mr. Diefenbaker as the truth and mud them a “sad commentary” °I_1 the responsibility of men in Eh government office.

He was asked to com- ment on reports that because of United States policy, a Canadian auto manufacturer could not fill a Communist China order for 1,000 cars. He indicated that he ‘did not favor any American law which could control the export policy of American subsidiaries operating in Canada. WHAT Canada wanted to export was Can-ada’s business. There were certain bans on the shipment of strategic items to Communist countries bu-t _ auto- mobiles could not be considered one of these. j At Welland, he was asked again for comment and here he said he would hate to think that U.S. parent companies would take any action on their Candaian subsidi- aries that was not consistent with Canadian policy. PREVENT DUMPING At St. Catharines, at an after- noon tea reception, he promised that a Liberal government would prevent the dumping of A-merlcan fruits and vegetables into Canada at low prices. He recalled that Mr. Diefenbaker also P!‘0m'i5ed t0 prevent dumping. , _ “But, if he will not permit it, Why, as head of me government, doesn’t he do something because there is already dumping- “But if he will not permit it. why, as head of the government, doesnt hel do dsonélethgilglglffcause ' rea y 11m - thfiliitlsbgfore reaching Welland.

Mr. Pearson maintained. a tool of the Protestants, a slave of the Roman Catholics and an employee of the liquor interests. He remained unrufflad by these accusations of partisan-ship. Mr. McAree- joined the staff or The Mail and Empire in 1898 as a cub reporter. His first assign- ment was to cover hotels and railways and to interview not- ables visiting the city.. I Fnom that, he graduated to the police beat and to writing a chil- dren’s feature. He handled these chores so competently that Mr. 'McAree was chosen to write a back- ground news column. The _idea was “to explain things that read- ers usually missed in the news." He continued to do that for more -half-a . , " His column became known as the Fourth Column. The designa- tion was accidental. Originally it was an instruction to the printers in the days before the column was signed. But it became a trademark. ONLY TWO DROPPED When the Mail and E-mpire was merged with The Globe in 1936 to become the Tomato Globe and Mail, the column continued on The Globe and Mail editorial page. , \ Five years ago, Mr. McAree recalled that only two of his col- umns had been dropped at the order of the late George McCul- lagh, publisher of The Globe and Mail. “A columnist, to be any good, must have his hea I" Mr. McAree said. “Otherwise he should be canned. A columnist is no good with a halter on him." The Cabbagetown district in which he was born was a sec-tion near downtown Toronto consist- ing mainly of small homes and stores. In 1953, he wrote a book about it c all ed Cabbagetown Store. Mild Earth Tremor Felt ST. STEPHEN, N. B. (CP)—A mild earth tremor shook the towns of St. Stephen, N.

(AP)—Famed Grants, saw the flash of the producer Mike Todd died in flames early Saturday with three other men in the crash of his twin-engined plush airliner The Lucky Liz, named for his actress wife Elizabeth Taylor. The executive-type 10-passen- ger plane plunged with tremen- dous force, exploded and burned in the Zuni mountains of western New Mexico southwest of here at 2:05 a.m. MST in a storm. One who died was a movie writer, Art Cohn, who was work- ing on the story The First Nine Lives of Mike Todd. The secretary for the colorful and flamboyant 50-year-old pro- ducer of Around The World in 80 Days said in Los Angeles that Todd. Colin, 49, pilot Bill Verner, 45, and co-pilot Tom Barclay, 34, were aboard. He had seen them off at Burbank, C.alif., at 10:41 pm. PST Friday.

A source in the Churchill vaca- tion household said Churchill is and has been in bed the last two days. His condition was reported improving and no medical bul- letins will be issued. TRIED TOO MUCH There were suggestions Churchill tried to get back to his robust ways too soon after re- covering from the pneumonia and pleu-risy that sent him to bed Feb. 18. He promptly went back to his cigars and on March 14 insisted no taking a walk with Lady Churchill in the garden of the villa where he is staying. Next day, he went to lunch with a linriend at the swank Cote d’Azur restaurant. Dr. Roberts found his patient sleeping soundly this morning and had to wait an hour before he could examine him.

Diefenbaker Makes Appeal SHERBROOKE, Que. (GP)- Prime Minister Diefenbaker has asked Quebec voters to match those in the other provinces in their election-day support of the Progressive Conservative party. i The Conservative leader made the same appeal in three speeches Saturday as he cam- paigned between Montreal a-nd this hub of Quebec’s Eastern Townships. He said at St. I-Iyacinxthe that the party ha-d created and would p r e s e r v e “the constitutional rights of minorities and prov- inces.” ' “Therefore our party is entitled to expect an active and effective representation from the province of Quebec in Parliament in order that it may continue to play its part-—that of maintaing the es- sential principles of Confedera- tion.” ASKS SUPPORT Speaking here, he asked Que- bec to elect Conservative MPs “equal to the re-presentat-ion from other provinces.” In effect it was an appeal to Quebec, which has given its major support, to the Liberal party for many years, to jump on the Conservative’ bandlwsgon. Monday, one week from elec tion day, Mr. Diefenbaker starts two days of electioneering ir New Brunswick and Nova Scotia be- fore returning to Quebec for an- other two days. The Conservative leader, whose party held nine of the 75 Quebec Commons seats in the last Par- liament, swung through three ridings east of Montreal before speaking in the evening in this city, the major centre for seven constituencies in th e Eastern Townships. Of the 10 ridings Con- servatives captured only one last year. SPEECH TOPICS His three speeches, each deliv- ered partly in French, dwelt on ‘For Support From Quebec dumped imports from abroad, and a criticism of Liberal elec- tion‘ promises. He had a mid-morning audi- ence of 675 in a small theatreat Beloeil, drew more than 2,000 to the arrnories at St. Hyacinthe, and spoke here to 1,200 persons in Sherbrooke University audito- rium on a wet, snowy night. Mr. Diefenbaker re c eived strong support from Daniel John- son, deputy speaker of the Que- bec Legislative Assembly and a prominent figure in the Union Nationale party. Mr. Johnson spoke both here and at St. Hya- cinrthe. He asked Mr. Diefenbaker to “tell your friends across Canada that Quebec asks no favors”—- only the maintenance of her con- stitutional rights. TAX CUTS—D'ESPERATE At Beloeil, Mr. Diefenbaker took aim at the new tax-holiday promise of Liberal Leader Lester B. Pearson, calling it irrespon- sible and desperate. On tex-tiles, Mr. Diefenbaker said the tariff board is in the midst of a study of the textile industry, which claims damage from unfair foreign competition. After the report was received, he said, the government would give “every consideration to the preservation and safeguarding of one of the great industries of Canada.” “We do not intend to see any of our industries or agriculture in Canada undermined as a result of the dumping of products into Canada.” Mr. Diefenbaker received some of the loudest alpplause of the day when he spoke French-reading from a prepared text. He spoke in French for most of a 20-minute, speech at St. Hyacinthe, and for seven minutes at the start of a 50-minute speech in this city where more of the population is . bilingual. “My only regret is that I can- the same‘ topics: election support, a promise of protection for the textile industry II-‘rodericton, . ’ ‘ «important in the area—aga'mst Requests for -_ not speak your language per- ifectly,” he said in both places.
