Power Fears Assets May Be Sold Below Value By JOHN E. BIRD OTTAWA (CP)—Fear was expressed before the Supreme Court of Canada Wednesday by the British Columbia Power Corporation that there is imminent danger that the assets of its expropriated subsidiary B.C. Electric, may be sold at less than their true worth. For this reason J. J. Robinette of Toronto, Counsel for the corporation, asked the court to restore a judgment of the B.C. Supreme Court naming Henry Leslie Purdy, a former president of B.C. Electric, as receiver of that company. The corporation is the former parent company of B.C. Electric which the B.C. provincial government expropriated last Franco-Soviet Trade Talks Break Down PARIS (Reuters) — Franco- Soviet trade talks in Moscow have been broken off by the Russians after a demand which the French government considered unacceptable, a French foreign ministry spokesman said Wednesday night. He described the breakdown as "a Soviet offensive against the European Common Market." The talks began May 16 on,an extension of an existing trade agreement for the years 1963 to 1965. The spokesman , said Russia sought an extension to Soviet products of preferential tariffs enjoyed by the six. Common Market countries. ' - The Moscow talks progressed satisfactorily and the list of quotas was almost settled two days ago, he said. But then the head of the Soviet delegation said the signature of the new trade agreement would be conditioned on success of talks due to be held in September on customs tariffs, thereby trying to obtain preferences under the most-favored- nation clause. France found this unacceptable. Princess Royal Begins Tour VICTORIA (CP) - The Princess Royal, slight, 65-year-old aunt of the Queen, stepped from a giant RCAF Yukon here Wed nesday night to begin a 16-day tour of Canada. Cheers from some 400 brownies, girl guides and sight-seers mingled with the roar of a 21-gun salute as the smiling, blue-eyed Princess Royal stepped from the plane after a 15-hour direct flight from London. The Princess was greeted by Lieutenant - Governor George Pearkes, Premier Bennett and other dignitaries. She then inspected an honor guard of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's). August. Mr. Purdy was named receiver at the request of B.C. Power pending completion of court action in which the corporation seeks to have the expropriation legislation declared invalid. HINGES ON DECISION The case hinges on a decisnon of the B.C. Appeal Court which reversed the B.C. Supreme Court, taking B.C. Electric out of receivership. Mr. Robinette is appealing to the Supreme Court against that action. "Apart from its electrical business, the undertaking of the electric company included assets devoted to a freight railway, an urban and interurban transit system and a gas distribution system," Mr. Robinette said. "The appellant (B.C. Power) is fearful that these assets, as well as the electrical undertaking, may be disposed of with consequent prejudice to the real value of the shares."

Alcatraz Age Helped Escapees SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Prison officials declared Wednesday that erosion and the general age of Alcatraz federal prison made it easier for three bank robbers to escape Tuesday. They also said there is a remote possibility the prisoners still are on the 12-acre island in San Francisco Bay. "Alcatraz is old," Fred Wilkinson, assistant director of the bureau of prisons at Washington, D.C., said. "It is in a debilitated condition. It would take a lot of money — $5,000,000 — to bring it up to the standards we require for maximum security." Both officials said the general erosion of pipes and concrete in the prison "undoubtedly contributed to the ease of the escape."

Kozaruk, under heavy police guard in City Hospital, was formally charged after he regained consciousness. He was found unconsicous early Wednesday on the floor of a hotel room. On a bed in the room was the body of Rose Whitehead, about 35. Police said Kozaruk will be questioned in connection with the slaying of a Winnipeg woman last weekend and the slaying of a Saskatoon City Hospital nurse- last month. Police said it appeared that the woman had been strangled. Police said the man will be questioned in connection with the strangulation last Saturday in a Winnipeg hotel of Mrs. Anne Yourkin, 52-year-old mother of four children. Police said the wo man was strangled by a towel.

Hustling On the Hustings European * Moslem Truce Talks Continue Despite Rejections By BASIL CHAPMAN ALGIERS (Reuters) — Negotiations aimed at achieving a reconcili a t i o n between Europeans and Moslem nationalists in Algeria were reported continuing Wednesday despite the Algerian p r o v i sional government's rejection of any extra guarantees for Europeans in an independent Algeria. Reliable French sources said there were new contacts between European c o m m u nity leaders and Moslem members of the Franco-Algerian interim adminis t r a t i o n at nearby Rocher Noir even after provisional Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda, flatly rejected the possibility of additional guarantees. In Tunis, Ben Khedda said "my government categorically excludes this possibility." He accused the terrorist European Secret Army Organization of using demands for guarantees to wreck the Franco- Algerian agreement reached last March to end the Algerian ropeans 10 to one in a popula- war. tion of 10,000,000.

He said the next report on the jobless situation — expected a day or two after next Monday's election — will show the largest number of employed workers in the history of Canada. The report will cover May's manpower situation. "By July or August we will have virtual full employment." Mr. Diefenbaker made the declaration — his firmest yet on the unemployment problem — in a speech to more than 500 persons in the Oddfellows' Hall here. MONTREAL (CP)-The essential decision whether to keep the dollar pegged at a fixed exchange rate or let it float can be made only after confidence is re-established in this country's -currency, Liberal Leader Pearson said Wednesday. That will be a first step by a Liberal government formed after Monday's federal election, he told a press conference. If a nuclear war does come, it will be a "tragedy in the night' rather than one climaxing a long period of steadily worsening relations. He made his tragedy-in-the- night reference to a nuclear attack when asked to state policy on civil defence, especially expressways for evacuation. Mr. Pearson said an attack of the type he anticipated if it did come made evacuation useless. He said the whole question of civil defence needs review. VANCOUVER (CP) - New Democratic Party Leader T. C. Douglas suggested Wednesday night there is convincing evidence that the Liberal Party had a hand in the demonstrations that took. place in Chelmsford, Ont, when Prime Minister Diefenbaker was there, . The NDP chief noted that it Was in Vancouver that the first serious demonstration toot place at a Diefenbaker public meeting. . "By the time he reached Canada's eastern shore, the prime minister needed the whole police force of the city of Sydney to as sure the maintenance of order. "The demonstrations which have taken place right across the country may have been organized by his political opponents. To the best of my knowledge, however, the New Democratic Party has not been responsible in any way. "At the Chelmsford riot, for instance, there has been overwhelming evidence that the Liberal party was not unconnected with the rowdyism." FOAM LAKE, Sask. (CP) - Social Credit Leader . Robert Thompson said Wednesday night there is reason to believe Canadian wheat sales to Communist after signing an agreement that gave his neutralist faction the dominant position in the coalition, to take office next week. MUST CLEAR OUT TROOPS Under the provisional agree- ment on, Laotian neutrality drawn up by the 14-nation Geneva conference on Laos, all foreign troops must be cleared out of the country within 75 days after the agreement is formally signed by conference members and the coalition government.

In an outbreak of Moslem counter-terrorism, four gunmen kidnapped five Europeans—two men, two women and a 13-year- old girl—from an apartment in the Algiers working class quarter of Bab el Oued. In a statement from Tunis issued shortly after Ben Khedda spoke, the provisional government called on Algerians to vote for an independent Algeria when the self - determination referendum is held July 1 and told Europeans "your future is in your own hands. A vote for independence from France is considered certain since Moslems outnumber Eu- provisional g o v e r nment, has done. The provisional government statement listed National Liberation Front aims as land reform, industrial and economic development, with large-scale means of production placed "at the service of the people" and a fair distribution of the national income. It said there would have to be a social revolution in an atmosphere of austerity accepted by all. In Paris, meanwhile, it was announced that a total of 92.000 persons, most of them Europeans, left Algeria for France in the first 12 days of June. RUSS ATTACK POLICE PLAN GENEVA (Reuters) — Russia cast further gloom over the 17- nation disarmament conference Wednesday by attacking Western proposals to create a United'Nations peace observation corps to police a disarmed world. Chief Soviet delegate Valerian Zorin made the criticisms on the eve of a month-long recess by the conference. Chief U.S. delegate Arthur Dean said Wednesday that a UN peace observation corps 'is "must" because his and other countries would not want to shed their weapons without the existence of an effective international peace force to defend them against aggression. Zorin claimed that the obvious intention was an army of mercenaries, an authoritative Western source reported after the closed meeting. - Gunman.

MEET KING Today, Souvanna, Souphanouvong, Phoumi and right-wing leader Prince Boun Oum will meet King Savang Vatthana in the royal city of Luang Prabang to inform him their talks on the formation of a coalition were successful. Souvanna's decision to appoint Souphanouvong acting premier was felt in some quarters to be a prelimina_y defeat for the West in its relations with the coalition cabinet. The Pathet Lao leader has been outspokenly anti - American, but has also pledged himself to do his "utmost to safeguard the genuine neutrality and independence of Laos." Meanwhile, Soviet Premier Khrushchev and U.S. President Kennedy in an exchange of notes agreed that harmony in Laos resulting from a neutral coalition government would be most helpful in solving other raid war problemay ,) Mayors Ask Detergent Study WINNIPEG (CP) — Canadian mayors and reeves decided Wednesday ot urge the federal,government to study the pollution of Canada's main rivers by. foaming detergents. The motion first came before delegates to the conference of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities from the city of London, Ont., calling for the complete ban of synthetic detergents from public sale for two years. However, delegates agreed with the resolutions committee that instead of asking for a ban, the conference should urge the federal study, through the National Research Council, of methods of counter-acting the effects of detergents on sewage treatment. The foaming chemical in detergents, called hydro-carbons, now cannot be broken down through natural sewage treatments and therefore is dumped into the rivers to further pollute and kill fish. The conference delegates were also unanimous in a motion to ask federal and provincial governments to institute with municipalities a federal-provincial program of augmented works for public projects as a means to cut down unemployment. Wheat Seeding Slightly Behind OTTAWA (CP) - Seeding of Canada's 1962 spring wheat crop was 92 per cent completed by May 31, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics said in its first seasonal cross-country seeding survey Wednesday. This is slightly behind the 98- per-cent figures at the same time last year and the 1956-60 average of 97 per cent. Seeding of the five principal grains in Canada—wheat, oats, barley, flaxseed and mixed grain — was 83-per-cent completed at May 31. This was below the 91 per cent of 1961 and the 1956-60 average of 88. Kennedy Warns Nikita By LEWIS GULICK WASHINGTON (AP) - President Kennedy cautioned .Soviet Premier Khrushchev Wednesday against any "untoward action anywhere" that might upset progress in creating an independent and neutral Laos.

"It is very important that no untoward actions anywhere be allowed to disrupt the progress which has been made." A significant measure of Khrushchev's ■ intent,- U.S. officials said, willbe the degree to which he exercises his influence for withdrawal of" Communist North Vietnamese forces now in Laos. Under the Geneva agreement, outside forces are supposed to be pulled out of Laos once the coalition government comes into being. They include an estimated 10.000 North Vietnamese aiding the pro - Communist Pathet Lao forces, and some 300 U.S. military advisers helping the nro - West troops of Phoumi Nosavan. Spokane Workers Go Back to Jobs SPOKANE (AP) — Work resumed Wednesday on an estimated $250,000,060 worth of construction projects in eastern Washington and northern Idaho following settlement of the lengthy walkout by union carpenters and Teamsters. The Teamsters came to terms Tuesday with the contractors, four days after tlie contractors, who walked out May 16, had reached agreement. Meanwhile, details of the carpenters settlement were announced. The three-year contract calls for a 60-cent hourly increase, same as the Teamsters. NEW WESTMINST5R, B.C. (CP) — A lengthy document read at the preliminary hearing of 70 leaders of the radical Sons of Freedom sect Wednesday blamed the leadership of Peter Verigin II, who died in 1939, for some of the sect's troubles. The document was seized by RCMP from the briefcase of Joe E. Podvinikoff, one of the Freedomites charged with conspiring to intimidate the fepjta) and provincial government "by acts of terrorism. The statement was issued by the religious sect's governing fraternal council, dated May 27, 1961. What the Freedomites had done has been in accordance with Verigin's teachings the documents said. Verigin II, who succeeded Peter (the Lordly) Verigin, the first spiritual leader of the Doukhobors in Canada, was accused in the document of forcibly intro ducing corrupt teachings and licentious behavior. Peter Verigin died in a train bombing. The document said Verigin II had compelled the Freedomites to disrobe and organized a nudist army at a nocturnal gathering near Grand Forks. He wanted to prove his army was stronger than the .government's and this led later' to the imprisonment of some' of. the Doukhobors. ■The council declared it re- nounces the teachings of Verigin Hand would return to the original Doukhobor iaiVa. Their present spiritual leader, Stefan Sorokin, who lives in Uruguay, had urged them to renounce all Verigin's teachings or he would leave them. The document repeated an earlier charge that crimes of which the Freedomites were accused were instigated by John Lebedoff, their deposed leader. The document said Verigin II organized the wrecking of Peter the Lordly's tomb and the burn ing of buildings, schools, bomb ing of railway tracks and other acts. At Verigin's tomb, he had set an example by putting his shoulder to it and pushing it down a hill. Six others appointed by him then bombed the tomb. Freedomites also acted as a result of Orthodox leader John Verigin's commands because they were told that if crimes were committed as a sacrifice they ceased to be crimes. The document also said according to teachings of Verigin II, the more trouble made resulted in stronger repentence.- Another document claimed Attorney-General Bonner sought a special feather in his cap by solving the Doukhobor problem and did not care if innocent people suffered. The hearing is continuing. And in This Corner . . . OTTAWA (CP) — City hall's pugnacious starling has been evicted from its home to guard against possibility of an aerial attack on Queen Mother Elizabeth. The starling had its nest atop the coat of arms hanging above the entrance to the modernistic building. The nest was just below a balcony to be used today by the Queen Mother. City building superintendent W. F. Bennett says the bird "attacked everybody who went out there." Workmen placed the nest — containing "three or four eggs and one little, small bird" — in a tree on the city hall property. VICTORIA (CP)—Premier Bennett was waiting for a heckler in his office this morning — but the man didn't show up. The man made a date with Mr. Bennett at a Social Credit rally Tuesday night. He had a run-in with Mr. Bennett about provincial debt. Mr. Bennett was ready to show him "the books" at 11 a.m., the agreed time. He also had deputy finance minister G. S. Bryson standing by'. But the man, who wouldn't give his name Tuesday night, hadn't arrived by lunch time.

"Anyone who suggests that a riding will be punished by sending an Opposition member to parliament believes in a one-party system," he said. Mr. Herridge's remarks were obvidusly aimed at the Progressive Conservative campaign slogan. The PCs urge that it's time for a change, a time for Kootenai West to get on the government bandwagon, and to join in the economic growth of the rest of the nation. Mr. Herridge said that there had been 10 to 12 times more money spent in Kootenay West during his tenure of office than ever before. His power of elocution in the House of Commons was not solely responsible for this upsurge, he admitted. He cited the natural circumstance, the natural industrial expansion of the area, its increase in population and the inflated dollar. FRIENDS IN GOV'T He said the government had always been good to him. His personal friendship and influence, as a member of the opposition, with government ministers and members, had been beneficial to his riding. His intervention, he said, pro duced the rebuilding of the Ga lena Bay wharf and launching ramps throughout the interior. The launching ramp at Boswell was the first undertaken in Canada, he said. His criticism of government members was that the back benchers' oratorical powers are "chained by the party whip," therefore their own thoughts are 'suppressed" in the interest of the party. In his own case he could speak freely as a member of the opposi tion. "What do you want? A muzzled backbencher of the government or a front bencher who says what he thinks?" he asked. In international affairs, he felt it was Canada's role to lead the non-nuclear nations in pressing for complete disarmament. He also predicted that within two years the United States will officially recognhe Red China, "as Canada should." On devaluation of the Canadian dollar, he said, "This devaluation has only raised the cost of living in Canada, besides making the Canadian people pay $400-$500 million extra for United States Imports." On the Columbia River development, he said the NDP was not opposed to development but to Ihe present treaty. NAMED aUJC TO QUEEN LONDON (Reuters) - RAF Group Capt. Leonard Henry Trent, 47, a New Zealand-born holder of the Victoria Cross has been named aide-de-camp to the Queen. Bonner Again Asks for Troops Attorney-General Robert Bonner reiterated his request that a garrison of troops be.placed in the Nelson area as a psychological damper on radical Freedomites, when he spoke to a public meeting in the Hume Hotel Wednesday night. The attorney-general's audience rocked with laughter when he stated, "Harkness (defence minister) wants me to declare an emergency. I don't have to declare one." "What with nO troops in the Kootenays and no warheads on the Bomarcs I don't know where we're going." Mr. Bonner said when he arrived in the Kootenays he was immediately told over 100 Freedomite homes had been burned. "I've often wondered how to get rid of Krestova. They pay very little rent there," he quipped. Mr. Bonner was speaking at a campaign rally for Social Credit candidate for Kootenay-West, Les Read. Of the Bomarc, Mr. Bonner said that with all the money spent on the missile the country could put 300,000 students through four years of university, pay all fees, and give the students salaries so they could get married before they graduate. "MASQUERADING" He rapped the Conservative government for "masquerading" under the pretext of achieving something great when It sold large quantities of wheat to China last year. "China bought wheat from us last year because they were in famine," he stated. Ordinarily China does not buy that much wheat from Canada, he said, and Canadians cannot expect China! to have a famine whenever Canada wants to sell her wheat. Mr. Bonner spoke on various aspects of world trade and the European Common Market. He reminded the audience of President Kennedy's recent statement, "Trade or fade," for the United States. "In Britain they say, 'Export or Expire.' And what do we say in Canada? 'Follow John'." Canada must adopt the attitude of the United States in world trade, he stated, "trade or fade." "We cannot be a nation of order-takers," he said, "we must be a nation of salesmen." The attorney-general restated the Social Credit party's position on the Peace-Columbia projects. "We must move ahead rapidly on both projects," he said. "Never have I seen so much conversation and so little action. But the inaction is not on the part of your provincial government." He criticized Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton for statements attributed to him on the Columbia River project. Mr. Bonner said that Gen. McNaughton had no objections to the forms of negotiations discussed at meetings prior to the signing of the treaty and felt it regrettable that the general should make such statements now. "It only serves to confuse the issue," he said. "The Peace and the Columbia, side by side, will be most advantageous to British Columbia," Mr, Bonner told his audience of 200. "These projects should be done now at today's prices in order that in years ahead we can look forward to decreasing instead of increasing power rates." Mr. Read spoke to the audience before Donald Brothers, MLA for Rossland-Trail, introduced Mr. Bonner. It was anticipated that there would be a Freedomite demonstration such as occurred at the Diefenbaker rally in Trial but no Freedomites were present. City police and RCMP members were on hand, but there were no disturbances. Vehicle Check Studied Here An annual vehicle safety check patterned on the Vancouver pro-, gram is the hope of the Nelson Safety Council. Aid. Albert Maida broached the subject at city council meeting Monday, and also urged as a safety precaution that all city vehicles be equipped with safety belts.

Judge Lectures Boys Sentenced on Arson "Basically I don't think you are bad boys and see no reason why you can't, with proper guidance and God's help, become decent citizens," Juvenile Court judge K. D. McRae told four Freedomite boys Wednesday. Later he sentenced them to two years in Brannon Lake Institute for arson. He told the boys, charged with burning an abandoned shack, that the influence of their parents, older brothers and sisters, and the community they live in was very strong. "Therefore," he stated, "I must remove you from your home and J environment in the best Interests' of yourselves." I He also ordered that the juve-1 niles be made wards of the superintendent of child welfare. This will be in effect until the boys are 21 years old. He said he thought he should have them separated from the influence of themselves but be- Brush With Ferry Costly to Youth cause he did not have the authority to have them separated at Brannon Lake he said he would have no objection to the boys being sent to different institutions. Three of the boys admitted to the charge while the fourth pleaded not guilty. Judge McRae called the boys' actions of burning the vacant building, a "foolish and wicked Ihing to do."

A snag in the number of practices a year that a permanent fireman should attend has delayed the signing of the 1962 agreement between the city and local 1343 of the Firefighters Union. The city solicitor informed city council Monday that the local is reluctant to sign the agreement, but the signing is only a matter of time, as the union must accept the award of the arbitration board. Tlie solicitor stated that recently two representatives of the local visited him to discusi the agreement stipulation of *5 practices annually for regulars. They contended that this requirement is not feasible under the new platoon system and the recent reduction in staff. The condition was agreed upon by the arbitration board which pondered arguments of the local and the city at the time when the fire staff consisted of eight regulars, an assistant chief and a fire chief. Among the contentions of the FIND BOMB MEMPHIS, Tenn.

They feel they should have another 24-hour period in the week when they would not be compelled to attend practice and that they should not have to turn out on either of their consecutive two days off. If these beliefs were agreed to it would be extremely difficult for the regulars to fulfill the practice quota, the solicitor believed. The matter was referred to the fire, and water committee for study and report.
