A buc ket brigade and a mechanical Canada Should Have Force MONTREAL (OP)—One of Can- ada’s leading nuclear scientists said Tuesday Canada may be asked to maintain conventional armed forces “instantly ready” to enforce United Nat-ions decisions if a global ban on nuclear tests is established. f‘If the time comes when we no longer depend upon atomic Weapons to win local wars then we will have to supply the neces- sary manpower to win without them,” Dr. 0. M. Solandt said in delivering the Shepherd memorial lecture Tuesday. ' . The. lecture is held each year In memory of Dr. Francis J. Shepherd, surgeon. dermatologist and anatomist. who for many years was associated with the Montreal General Hospital. ‘ “We must recognize that the cessation of tests may produce conditions in - which Canadians will be called upon for new sacri- fices in the cause of freedom."

(CP) The Soviet Union. declared Tues- day lack of‘EIast-lWest agreement on stopping nuclear tests win compel it to continue nuclear weapons ewlosions until the to- tal reaches that of the United States and Britain combined. - Soviet Foreign Minister Grom- yko made the statement at a press conference called prior to his departume for Moscow today. He has been here since the open- ing of the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly in mid-September. He said he wanted to emphar size the importance Moscow at— taches to a Soviet resolution rec- ommending that all countries conducting tests discontinue them immediately, and then negotiate an appropriate agreement. He declined to say specifically that the Soviet Union would end tests if the Assembly approved his own country's resolution. GROUNDS TO CONTINUE Gromyko said the Soviet Union . ‘ Ready To Support The UN. the August conference of scien- tists of East and West that agreed a globe-girdl-ing control system can detect cheating if the world powers decide to ban nuclear tests. Dr. Solandt said that a nuclear ban would prevent development of defensive measures against stra- tegic air attacks with such ad- vanced weapons as the intercon- tinental ballistic missiles. I “If development of nuclear weapons is stopped by a cessa- tion of tests, the world may well remain for many years at a- stage where strategic air attack has a vast superiority over the defence. “Should the Soviet get effective llOBMs with megaton warheads ready for operation use before the West, they would then be free from effective deterrence by our. strategic forces. “Should they ever seek to achieve world domination by force rather than by economic and political infiltration, this would be the time they would choose to strike.” Explosions has “all grounds to discontinue conducts the same number of such tests as was held by the United States and Britain taken together as al- lies after the cessation by the So- viet Union of its nuclear weap- ons tests March 31 of this year. He did not give the number of Soviet weapons tests. Nor did he say how the Soviet Union could ascertain the number of test ex- plosions by the United States and Britain. The total US. tests have not been made public. He declared met if France started up tests, these would be counted by the Soviet Union “since they’re all by the NWTO allies.” ’ The Soviet Union resumed test- ing of nuclear weapons last week.

Dulles Asks Permanent Cease Fire, Meeting Friday WASHINGTON (APl — State Secretary Dulles sought to per- suade the Chinese Communists Tuesday to turn their temporary Formosa Strait ceasefire into a permanent one. Just back from a fiveday‘ rest on Duck Isl-and in Lake Ontario, Dulles stepped off an airplane and told reporters: “The Chinese Communists, after having brutally and inces- aanltly bombarded Quemoy for over six weeks, now say they will be humanitarian and peaceful for one week. “It is not easy to evaluate that statement. But at least for the moment there is a cessaion of the bombing. This the United States has been vigorously seek- ing. . “Also the development assures worldwide condemnation of the Chinese Communists if they again resume the fighting."

CASTEL GAN‘DOL‘FO, I t a 1y (AP) ‘— The condition of Pope Pius grew worse Tuesday night. The 82yeanold head of the R0- man Catholic Church had rallied earlier from a coma and partial paralysis that attended a stroke Monday, but other symptoms re~ curred. Then late Tuesday night 3 Va- tican official said flatly the pon- tiff’s condition had taken a turn for the worse. Pressed to elabor- ate on the degre of worsening, he replied only: “I‘stick by what I said.” A doctor close to the situation said the Pope was inworse condi- tion than a medical bulletin is- sued at 6 p.m. had indicated. This source said the pontiff actually was still afflicted with partial paralysis that affected his upper body, face and speech. , There also were signs that the Pope possibly was delirious.

A SIGNIFICANT DEAL I A forerunner of brighter things to come—was the way in which Donald A. MacDonald spoke yea- terday of a 35,000 crate shipment of Island seed potatoes being presently assembled for shipment to Venezuela. Mr. MacDonald rs manager of the Producers' Co-op Association, the firm handling the shipment. Several firms in Chat- lottetown and Summerside arc supplying stocks for the consign- ment. - Mr, MacDonald said that this represented the most sizable ship- ment to the South American coun- try that has ever been made from the province. A crate is about 110 ,lbs, making the shipment in the vicinity of 65,000 bushels. ENTIRELY NEW MARKET The shipment'is of particular significance to Prince Edward rs- iand in view of the fact that Venezuela has been getting the majority of its supplies from New Brunswick. Island shippers some- times helped to fill a New Brunswick quota. Negotiations for the present shipment started with a visrt to Venezuela last March of C. Macs Lean, Manager of the Central Farmers’s Co-op. The deal was finally consummated this past summer when after a visit from representatives of the Venezuela Government the contract was fin- ally signed by Manager MacDon- Day.

ECONOMIC BOOST .V Mr. MacDonald noted7"that*- in this year of surplus table sup- plies and resultant low prices, the Venezuela order will be most helpful to the Island economy and the fact that all stocks are being assembled here will provide extra employment at the two Is~ land ports. The bulk of the order are Se. bago and Kennebec with a small number of Red Pontiacs. Should the present shipment meet With the approval of Venezuela grow- ers, there is every hope that nlany more Island potatoes will find their way to South America next year. Court Divides On Right Of Province To Legislate OTTAWA (CP)—— The Supreme Court of Canada Tuesday was di- vided in upholding the constitu- tional validity of Saskatchewan’s breath test legislation, but was unanimous in saying that results of such tests can be introduced as evidence of drunken or im- paired driving. The judgment opened the way for Saskatchewan to resume the use of breath tests in such cases. The court split five to three in holding the legislation is within the powers of the provincial legis- lature and does not interfere with the provisions of the Criminal Code. The majority decision came from Justices Robert Taschereau, I. C. Rand. Gerald Fauteux, Douglas Abbott and W. Judson. Opposing views—that the legisla~ tion was ultra vires of the legis. lature came from Justice Charles H. Locke, J. R. Cart- wright and R. Martland. 90-DAY SUSPENSION Main provision of the legisla- tion, bitterly opposed by the (op- position in the provincial legisla- ture last year, is that theSas- katchewan Hi g h w a y Traffic Board can suspend for 90 days the driving permit of a suspected drunken or impaired motorist who refuses to submit a breath analy- srs. The test involves breathing into an apparatus. The sample of breath is submitted to chemical tests designed to establish the amount of alcohol consumed. The issue before the court was not concerned with the percent. age of alcohol content that repre- sents drunkenness or impaired, Saskatchewan Attorney - Gen eral Walker, commenting on the decision of the Supreme Court said the province will make in use of the legislation.

Abegweit Must Go In Dry Dock For Motor Repairs Unofficial but highly reliable sources disclosed last night that the M.V. Abegwcit will definitely 1have to go to drydock for repairs and parts. The sources close to the scene said that it will be gone a “few days” at least from its run be- tween Borden, P.E.I. and Cape Tormentine. N.B., and it may have to make two trips. The question now is whether the new part —— an armature —- can be obtained or whether the damaged one will have to be re- moved and repaired. If a new armature can be ob- tained it could be installed in one trip to drydock. If not, the sour- ces said, the old one will have to be removed at drydock. The Abegweit would be returned to the Island run and a second trip to drydock would be made neces- sary, to have the repaired part installed. How long the Ship would have to remain in drydock could not be learned although it was be- lieved that in neither case would she be away for any length of time. The difficulty is a burned-out armature in the forward star‘- board motor. This motor operates one of the forward propellors. These propellors, it is understood, are used for docking mostly ex- cept in winter months and play a part in ice breaking.
