CCF Whip Critical Of U.S. State Sec'y Dulles OTTAWA (CP)--A CCFer and a Progressive Conservative Wednes- day argued in the Commons about the policies of John Foster Dulles. U. S. stale secretary. External Af- fairs Minister Pearson joined in briefly. They spoke in a resumed foreign policy debate on the day the House rose for its 12-day Easter recess. At one point. only 22 of the 264 members were in the chamber. including the speaker. A quorum is 20. including the spcaker. Stanley Knowles (C.CF--Winni- 5; North Centre) contended that r. Dulles expounds on military policy rather than foreign policy. He said Mr. Dulles is not inter- ested in the peoples of New Zea- land. the Pescadores and northern Canada but in their countries as a defence line to protect the con- tinental United States.

George Hees (PC - Toronto Broadview) said Mr. Dulles makes mistakes but that it is his serious intent to keep all countries out of war. It was unfair to inferlthnt Mr. Dulles would sacrifiw other coun- tries to protect the U. S. Mr. Pearson asked Mr. Knowles whether; he does not feel that the purpose of Mr. Dulles' policy is to avoid war. ' MAGINOT LINE Mr. Knowles said Mr. l)ulles' primary policy is to keep war away from the U. S. and that he (Mr. Dulles) is not as concerned as Mr. Pearson with avoiding war altogether. The CCF whip added that Mr. Dulles has erected a Maginot Line" extending from New Zculand in Newfoundland and the countries involved are pawns in U. S. military defence strategy. Mr. Pearson. he said. should stand up straighter on his two feet and talk more plainly to Mr. Dulles rather than defend the U.S. state hecretary. Mr. Hees. after first defending Mr. Dulles. criticized the U. state department for making pub- lic the Yalta papers. N. B. Potato Prices Climb WOODSTOCK. N.B.

A forestry department pumper and a bucket brigade worked fev- crishly to con ain the outbreak and extinguish roof fires which for s time threatened to send the flames out of cotrol. Destroyed were the general store of S. R. Glffin. a feed store. ice house and other buildings on the waterfront. Other buildings and a wharf were damaged.
