(CP PHOTO) Canadian Car Industry “Criticized By OTTAWA (CP) — Economist Ted English says the Canadian auto industry is really not suited for the Canadian economy. There are too many manufacturers, too many models and too many de- sign changes. “We'd do better if we had fol- lowed the example of Sweden and built only two models, one in the low-prized field and the other in African Split Seen Menace By DAVE OANCIA LONDON (CP) — Colonial Sec retary Alan Lennox-Boyd warned Saturday that failure to make the Federation of Rhodesia and Ny- asaland workable could divide Africa into opposing groups em- bracing black nationaliam and racial segregation. “Grave consequences would fol- flow if Nyasaland left the federa- tion,” said the colonial secretary in an address to the annual con- “ference of the Conservative Com- monwealth Council. “A chain reaction would be started since some groups in Ny- asaland are campaigning not only for withdrawal from the federa- tion, but for independence as Members Face Grind To Prorogue July {st By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)—The Commons faces the prospect of nine weeks of hard work if Parliament is to be prorogued by the Queen on Canada’s 94th birthday July 1: The second of two early-sessior hurles—the budget debate — wa: of last week. The othe: major debate, ‘on the throne speech, ended earlier in the ses- sion. © But this progress since Parlia-, ment first met Jan. 15 still leaves a hefty bundle of legislation to be dealt with. The remaining business adds @ to heavy going in the nine weeks until July 1. MUST FINISH FIRST It has never been stated offi- that the Queen will proro- gue parliament but it’s a fair as- Fgumption she will if the Com- mons afd Senate have finished their business ‘by then. Otherwise, ‘she may be asked to give royal assent to legislation that has been passed by that the medium-priced range,” said the Carleton University professor in an interview. Last year the 35-year-old Vic- toria-born economist toured var- fous European centres studying industrial produ ction, particu- larly in iron and steel. He found that Sweden and.Can- ada have a lot in common: Both are relatively small markets with competitive giants nearby. In the case of Canada, it is the United States. In the case of Sweden, the neighboring giants are Germ- any, France and Britain. WITH LOW TARIFFS And yet while Canada has sought to encourage domestic production by relatively high tar- iff protection, Sweden has been able to accomplish the same end English said. “The trouble with the Canddian auto industry is that it was trans- planted from the United States and not a good transplant at that,’ Prof. English said. “Years ago when a protective Canadian tariff became assured, alt of the major auto producers set up plants in Canada.

He met rousing welcomes both at Montreal airport in suburban Dorval and outside his downtown hotel. After greeting at the airport Mayor Sarto Fournier and mem- bers of the executive of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of his visit, the leader of the Cuban rebellion later turned to the crowd that pressed close to his waiting black lim- ousine. i He waved his hand and said “hello.’’ One man reached out a hand. Castro shook it. CROWD BROKE THROUGH Then the crowd stormed past RCMP, Montreal, Quebec Pro- vincial and Cuban security police to shout greetings and clap him on the back.

Without rejecting Eisenhower’s proposal of April 13, Khrushchev said the Soviet Union satisfied only with an agreement to ban all nuclear tests. Khrushchev added he thought “it is quite possible to find such }a solution to the preblem of end- ing tests, on the basis of your proposals and ours, as would mect the interests of the nuclear nations as well as those of ail the other countries.” Khrushchev’s letter replying to E senhower was handed te the state department Friday and made public Saturday by Tass news agency.

These are’ the tests that are easiest to detect and cause the most fadioactive fallout. Under this plan, underground and svace tests would be left for later negotiation. Khrushchev said he was also to note that the president in his letter “also holds the view that these talks must not be allowed to fail.”’ The Soviet premier’s en; tire letter was moderate in tone. “Phe Soviet government.” he continued, “has given most care- ful. . . consideration to thé points made in your message, and con- siders that the stopping of explos- ions of nuclear weapons at heights of up to 50 kilometres (about 30 miles) will| not solve the problem.” would be| Bolivian burned eight houses Sunday in| sents a Hebrew bible, printed ! building.

The four-engined Avro Tudor with 12 men aboard has been missing since Thursday over the rugged mountains of-eastern Tur- key, about 100 miles from the So- viet border. ; A foreign office spokesman said Russian officials in reply to queries said they knew nothing of the plane. Reds s Greet Macs Idea LONDON AP Aides of Prime Minister Macmillan con- firmed Sunday he has initiated new ideas on suspending nuclkar tests that brought applause Sat- urday from Soviet Premier Kibrushchev. Macmillan’s plan is for limiting the number of inspections by teams policing a nuclear test ban. He advanced it when he met Khrushchev in Moscow six weeks , aides said. Saaemailien later broached the idea in his talks in Washington, Freighter Plane 4 Days A supply minister spokesmaa disclosed there were certaim classified items on the aircraft. He said he was not in a position to identify them. In Nicosia, Cyprus, where a search ts being directed, an RAF spokesman admitted the possibi- lity that the Tudor had hees forced down over the Soviet fron- tier. iy In London, the chairman of tha air charter firm which owns the aircraft said: “We cannot rule out that the plane has been forced down in Russia, but we must assume it is down in the mountains.’ British aircraft have been ia- structed to keep closely to their course when flying in-that region of Turkey but a slight navigation error could take a plane within the Soviet air defence network. It was in that area that a US air force transport plane was forced down by Soviet jets hast June.

Demolition work now is under way on a condemned section in the labyrinth of twisted streets and toruous passageways which form the old: Arab town where 80,000 Moslems still live. It is the first step in a long- term plan to pull down the Cas- bah and replace it with modern buildings.

Moody said he believed Parker was no longer in the area and perhaps is dead. Moody said Parker- may have been dumped into one of the half-dozen nearby rivers.
