(AP)- Twenty - five thousand people will be in the Meredith march when it reaches Jackson, Miss., Dr. Martin Luther King predicted Sunday. "It will rival the Alabama pilgrimage from Selma to Montgomery." Meanwhile, civil rights groups across the United States held memorial services and demonstrations for Medgar Evers, a Mississippi Negro leader who was shot from ambush in the driveway of his home three years ago. In Jackson, Negroes retraced the funeral route, scene of bloody rioting at the time. Dr. King, who rejoined the Meredith march briefly, attended the funeral of Armstead Phipps in Marks, Miss. Phipps, a 58 - year - old Negro sharecropper, died of a heart attack Thursday while participating in the march. TOUGH GRIND For the first time since James Meredith, 33, started the 225- mile trek from Memphis, Tenn., to Jackson June 5, the marchers spent the night camped out and it was plain that it was an uncomfortable and tense experience. See No Hope For Arms Treaty By GEOFFREY ATKINS GENEVA (AP)-U.S. officials here for the 17-natlon disarmament conference say there is virtually no hope a world treaty will be signed this year to halt the spread of nuclear weapons. The conference resumes Tuesday after a five-week recess. But three main factors appear to rule out agreement now on a treaty. —The continued hostility of China. Any hope of a change tn Peking's attitude -was removed by the recent purge of Chinese leaders suspected of favoring a softer Une toward the West. France, the other newcomer in the nuclear club, also is unlikely to sign such a pact. FEAR NEIGHBORS —The security fears of several leading non-aligned nations. India is becoming increasingly less Interested in a non-proliferation treaty because of the Chinese menace. The United teab Republic, also represented at the 17-natlon conference, has similar tiara because Israel is one of the nations known to be capable of producing an atomic bomb. Viet Nam Catholics Display Strength SAIGON (CP) - South Viet Nam's Roman Catholics put on a massive, well-drilled show of strength Sunday with a series of anti-Communist demonstrations which showed another side of the country's political life. The Bloc of Catholic Citizens of Viet Nam, representing most of South Viet Nam's 2,000,000 Roman Catholics, vowed to oppose any deal with the Viet Cong. The Associated Press reported that in Saigon about 60,- 000 Catholics marched in disciplined, para - military units, chanting anti - Communist and pro.Aroerican slogans. Reuters news agency reported the number as 10,000 young Catholics in home-made military-style uniforms. Similar marches took place in Pleiku, north of Saigon, and several other Catholic centres. A declaration published by the Bloc demanded democratic reforms and an intensified war effort. At the same time, about 6,000 Buddhists held a prayer meeting in the headquarters of the Buddhist Unified Church on the other side of Saigon. Cabinet Called In on Strike OTTAWA (CP) - A top-level cabinet committee was called into Sunday session 12 hours after the breakup of a marathon mediation effort to settle the crippling Quebec longshore' men's strike, entering its 36th day today. The mediation talks with union and management representatives ended at dawn Sunday without a settlement. I«»|IH Canadian Trade Delegation Arrives in Soviet Union MOSCOW (CP) — The vanguard of a six-man Canadian trade delegation arrived here Saturday night and there was immediate speculation another wheat sale to the Soviet Union may be under negotiation. Lending weight to speculation is the fact that William McNamara, chief commissioner of the Canadian Wheat Board, will be part of the delegation. McNamara and wheat board Commissioner Gerald Vogel were scheduled te) arrive Sunday night. Willard Pybus, director of the trade department's office of trade relations and head of the delegation, did not discourage speculation. Asked whether McNamara's inclusion in the visiting group indicated a wheat deal might be in the offing, Pybus noted that the chief commissioner has in the past had "relations with the U.S.S.R. in the wheat area." McNamara, he said, has "continuing interest" in development of Canadian wheat sales to the Soviet Union. Another factor indicating that new agreement may be under negotiation is the expected visit here of Trade Minister Winters SANITARY ? ? ? LAND FILL is what it is called, but with the rising waters of Kootenay Lake, large amounts of the fill are floating downstream, providing food for the fish. Complaints have been received over the large amounts of garbage that is polluting the already heavily polluted waters as a result of insufficient fill over the garbage. Soviet Bloc Talks Deadlocked Maritime Strike Support Gained By SIDNEY WEILAND MOSCOW (Reuters) — Talks among the Communist-bloc foreign ministers here last week appeared to have run into a deadlock because of serious dis LONDON (CP)-With threats and appeals for solidarity, union leaders Sunday persuaded coastal seaman in Dover to continue backing Britain's maritime strike. But the split between coasters and ocean seamen appeared to be widening. Ted Brown, an executive of the National Union of Seamen, warned an unofficial meeting of 600 seamen in Dover on the English Channel: "If any of you go to sea before the strike is over, you will probably never be allowed to go to sea again." He ppealed to the men of Dover, Folkstone and other Channel ports to back the fight of the deep-sea men. "Do not sell them down the river or you will be finished for all time." There was some mystery over just who called the meeting. Some said it was an effort to restore order after the "unorganized chaos" of a meeting of more than 1,500 coastal seamen Saturday during which NUS executives were booed and jeered. ONLY FRACTION The 600 voted unanimously Sunday to continue backing the strike, but observers noted that they constituted only a small fraction of Dover seamen and included many from Folkestone, Deal, Harwich and even faraway Southampton.

Police searched in vain for the girl and it was not until Nangame took a second wife, who became jealous and informed missionaries, that she was rescued.

Canada's Arnold Smith, the Commonwealth secretary - general, will call the ministers into session in Marlborough House. Indications are Douglas Jay, president of Britain's board of trade, will be elected chairman. LAMENT TARIFF LOSS The agenda is known to include items from laments over the gradual dilution of Commonwealth tariff preferences to complaints by the less-developed countries that the wealthier countries don't open their doors wide enough to manufactured goods. An idea backed by Britain is that Commonwealth governments should treat all government contract bidders on equal footing. That would eliminate the preference that usually goes to the domestic supplier. ministers failed to keep to a set timetable during the discussions, the sources said. They were still in session Saturday when Nicolae Ceausescu,. the Romanian Communist party leader, made s speech near Bucharest calling for abolition of both NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The Moscow discussions were said to have been overshadowed by Romania's demands for greater national independence within the 11-year-old Warsaw alliance, communism's answer to NATO. It was impossible to confirm whether the Moscow meeting, which began Monday and had been expected to last two or three days, was still going on. The sources indicated that at least some of the six East Eur opean ministers were still in Moscow. No details of the meeting for what the i agency Tass friendly talk. described as towards the end of the week. However, Winters may be coming simply to sign a new over-all trade agreement which the delegation, scheduled to stay in Moscow a week or more, hopes to work out with Soviet officials. The agreement would renew the three year pact that expired in April providing most- favored - nation treatment in trade between the two countries. Pybus said the delegation's purpose here is "essentially" to discuss renewal of the trade agreement. Pybus refused to be pinned | down regarding prospects of a new wheat contract to replace last year's, under which Canada sold the Soviet Union $450,000,000 worth. It was "probably true" that the possibility of a wheat sale could not be excluded, but this would depend on a number of factors, including Soviet re- a I quirements and the size of this 'year's crop.

MOSCOW (AP)-The unopposed candidates for the Soviet Union's 1,517-member Supreme Soviet (Parliament) piled up the expected tremendous votes in Sunday's election. The parliament consists of an upper house, the Soviet of Nationalities with 750 members, and a lower house, the Soviet of the Union, with 767 members. The upper house represents the various political divisions making up the Soviet Union and the lower house the people as such. Soviet citizens, including such leaders as Communist Party General Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev and Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, duly went to the polls. So did such ousted leaders as former premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and former fo- eign minister V. M. Molotov. A parliamentary election here is meant as a demonstration of loyalty to the system. Only a small number of citizens care or dare to oppose the slate. The parliament itself is largely for show. It meets twice changes legislation submitted to it by the Communist party, which does the real job of ruling the country. Subdued Nikita Out in Public By FRED COLEMAN MOSCOW (AP) - Nikita S. Khrushchev, subdued and-lacking his old bounce, appeared in public Sunday for the first time in more than a year to vote for the man who replaced him as premier. Khrushchev's face was noticeably thinner. His shirt collar sagged loosely around his neck. But he smiled as he cast his ballot for the parliamentary candidate in his election district, Premier Alexei N. Kosygin. Like Kosygin, Khrushchev also held a seat in the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) when he was premier. Khrushchev was a year during its four-year term I ousted from power in October, and approves with only minor 1964.

New Towns Approved By Qovernmental Brass Approval of the proposed town plans for the new communities of Edgewood, Burton and Fauquier has been received from provincial government authorities in Nelson. Final approval under the Land Registry Act is expected as soon as legal surveys are completed. Individual building lots and loads have been laid out, and arrangements are underway to erect display boards this week at each townsite to help people iden tify individual lots and visualize the completed communities. A booklet similar to the recent New Communities for the Arrow Lakes" will be published soon and will contain completed plans of each of the new communities together with lot prices so that individuals may apply for specific lots. In Fauquier the B.C. Hydro has called tenders for a contract to provide a water and sewage system, plus 8,000 feet of roads in the new community. It is expected that a contract will be awarded before the end of June. Work covered by the contract is scheduled to be completed by September, 1966.

Three Accidents Near Castlegar CASTLEGAR — There were three accidents in the Castlegar area on the weekend. Collision with a deer caused $400 damage to a vehicle driven by M. Anderson at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday on the Blueberry- Paulson highway. The deer was killed, but the driver was unhurt. There was extensive damage to the front end of the 1950 vehicle, driven by Robert Donald McCaf- farey of Robson, when it veered off the highway, striking a telephone pole. The mishap occurred at about 1:05 p.m. Saturday on the Robson road. At 6:30 a.m. Saturday on Highway 3 in Castlegar, vehicles driven by Mr. Davidoff of Grand Forks and Mr. Gerronazzo of Castlegar were in collision. RCMP said one of the drivers apparently failed to yield the right- of-way. There were no injuries and total damage amounted to over $100. Duncan Dam Kokanee Home In conjunction with the Fish and Game Branch of the Department of Recreation and Conservation, B.C. Hydro and Power Authority is preparing designs and investigating possible sites for a kokanee spawning channel in the area of Duncan Dam. Although a number of spawning channels for sea-going salmon already exist in British Columbia, land-locked kokanee present different problems. The new spawning channel, which is scheduled for construction in the spring of 1967, will be operated by specialists of the Fish and Game Branch and financed by B.C. Hydro. Under a similar arrangement, a kokanee enumeration fence was built at Lardeau last fall to study the effect of Duncan Dam on the kokanee fishery. The study is continuing. BUILDING INSPECTOR NEEDED FOR SMALLER COMMUNITIES By utilizing a well-trained andwas not the wish of his depart- competent building inspector, the majority of people have found that the services rendered by the inspection department far outweighed any regulations that would be laid down in a building or plumbing bylaw. This was one of the suggestions by W. C. Cannon, Chief Building Inspector for the Department of Municipal Affairs from Victoria. Mr. Cannon, in speaking to the Board, indicated that their perience relative to Building bylaws and Plumbing bylaws in what is commonly called unorganized areas, had been very good in other parts of the Province. CONSIDERABLE SAVING It was indicated that many parties found that the competent advice they received resulted in considerable saving to them in proposed construction projects and in addition the standards that were set out in the National Building Code were minimum standards and yet they met all the necessary requirements for securing proper financial assistance in the way of mortgages, etc. Mr. Cannon also felt that it ment that these bylaws should be implemented forthwith for they felt that until the majority of people in the areas to be affected understood the intent behind the bylaw, much misunderstanding could take place and therefore detract from the benefits that could be derived from the adoption of the bylaw. After hearing Mr. Canon's address, the board, since a Technical Planning Committee of the Regional Board has not commenced operation, felt the bylaw should be tabled until a comprehensive report could be received. The Board Chairman also advised that when the by-law had received a third reading it would have to be approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs before finally being adopted. ADDITIONAL REQUESTS Additional requests for the Planning Director's services were received from the Corporation of the Village of New Denver and the Blueberry Irrigation District, relative to zoning in their respectve areas. The Planning Director submitted his third report to the Board and included in this report were additional reports on the progress of the Wynndel - Sirdar Disposal Grounds. A final item dealt with by the Director was the survey relative to the amount of building and construction that was taking place in the Regional District of Central Kootenay, .miiiiiiiiitiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiii LATE NEWS OF DAY iiiiiiiiiiiiminr iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.'

Hydro Model Constructed Showing Development Methods By JACK WELSH News Staff Writer Thursday will see Nakusp residents meet to vote again on the future of theli beachfront. A contentious issue, it is hoped that the right decision will be made following the close examination of a model depicting the area. This model had been constructed in Vancouver by B.C. Hydro Power and Light Authority engineers and was transported recently to Nakusp for the public meeting. It displays the two methods of developing the beach front; a natural soil slope proposed by Nakusp residents and a steeper soil cement grade leading down to the water from the village above, recommended by Hydro, natural Modifications in the slope plan were announced Sunday by Mrs. C. E. Sadd, village clerk. These Involve a flat 30-foot-wide strip of soil cement at the top of the slope with another 30 feet taken up by a steep two-on-one slope which will level off Into an unprotected natural grade of seven-on.one. Originally it had been planned that the seven on one slope would carry on right to the buildings of the village. Mrs. Sadd expressed the opinion that a soil cemented area would be useless as far as utilization of the lake is concerned whereas the natural slire would leave a 2000-foot-long lake frontage that would be accessible to all. An engineering firm, Howard Shtrrock and Associates, has been retained by the village to act In a consultative capacity and prevent citizens from making impossible suggestions about the project. Hydro engineers are expected to explain the model and it is felt the hired firm will clarify the questions on the various technical aspects of the work. Mrs. Sadd has been informed, however, that nine people have stated they do not wish to move from their property on the lake front if the natural slope is ac cepted. In an earlier canvass of those property owners whose land would be affected by the construction of this slope, canvassers reported that no one would refuse to vacate provided it was for the good of the village. Mrs Sadd stressed the fact that the nine people now protesting have not said they would not move; only that they did not want to, Another question, that of the extension of B.C. Hydro's ex propriation rights to cover the buying of the property neces^ sary for the seven-on-one slope should that plan be accepted, has not been settled. Mrs. Sadd reports speaking to J. W. Milligan reservoir engineer, and asking him. At that time, he did not know and no further information has been received.

Completed in a North Vancouver laboratory the three-dimensional model measures approximately three feet by seven feet and provides an accurate picture of the lakeshore, including waterfront streets and buildings. Hydro officials hope the model will aid in convincing Nakusp residents of the attractiveness of the steeper grade protected by soil cement. Interchangeable parts will allow the viewing of both plans.

An imaginative structure, it is to house a modern museum and tourist information booth. Artifacts in the museum will be organized to supplement and illustrate displays concerned with the various periods and aspects of the district's growth and development. Costing $30,000 the museum building is the chief concern of the Centennial Committee who are, in addition, planning to reopen a tunnel of the Black Bear mine as a tourist attraction. This tunnel is located a short walking listance from the commodious parking lot located behind the museum. With four acres deeded to the City of Rossland at one dollar per year for the purposes of the project, a large picnic area is planned to surround the site. Outside the museum, a display of antiquated mining equipment is to be maintained. This will include such historical items as a large rope-drive compressor; which had been installed in 1896 at the Black Bear mine. Other pieces will include a tram with ore car set upon a representative length of narrow gauge track. To be erected near the building a false mine head frame will tower over visitors. These structures were common sites on Red Mountain when the mines were in operation and served to house the shaft hoists. With these men and materials were lowered into the mine's working area. Wor kon the tunnel is consider ed an addition to the project and J. D. MacDonald, chairman of the Centennial Committee, mentioned that it is felt it can be completed utilizing volunteer labor. L. Telfer of Rossland, retired mining engineer, has been put in charge of the work. It was also reported that the committee has received a pledge for 800 feet of special cable for the lighting of the tunnel's interior. lt will extend 600 feet into the mountain and tourists will be able to see during their walk through, various phases of the hard-rock mining process. Stop- es, vertical extensions of tunnels made as miners removed rock when following a vein of ore, are visible from the tunnel and will be lighted for the visitors. Displays within the museum will not consist merely of articles lined up on tables, but of carefully selected items typical of the period selected as the theme of the particular display. Such themes will include the Indian era, discovery of Rossland's wealth, Red Mountain mines in full production and the development of Cominco. The Red Mountain display will be accompanied with a scale model including the mine buildings and workings clearly illustrated. It is hoped that the simplicity of this idea will recreate the story of the Trail-Creek area's development for all visitors; I newcomers and residents alike. 4#* ■un.-.

Nurses' Association Hehs Solitary Elderly Citizens CRANBROOK — Taking up the panel challenge issued on conclusion of the Institute of Nursing here recently, Cranbrook Chapter of the Registered Nurses Association will sponsor an organization toward assisting solitary elderly residents in a variety of ways. Dr. J. M. Mugan at conclusion of the institute on nursing needs of the elderly said that dislocation from their own homes and normal activities was the most serious health threat to this increasing group in the community, who could continue useful and happy with only minor help to support their independence, instead of dislocating transfer to homes for the elderly. Cranbrook RNA Chapter meeting decided first to prepare a confidential report in the fall detailing from various sources specific assistance needs ta specific cty areas so appropriate help can be mobilized from appropriate city organizations. The Chapter named as survey committee Mrs. Larry Root, chairman, Chapter members Miss Margaret Spittlehouse, Mrs. Ray Demachi, Mrs. Toby Gripich, and Mrs. Emil Dey, and added to the committee Miss Nancy Miles. Objective will be a personal relationship toward continuing and strengthening the involvement of the elderly resident in his own community by such methods as visits, possibly household help, and "meals-on-wheels", trans- Castlegar . . .

Asian Dividends It is tempting, when faced with the perilous and thankless war in Vietnam, to believe that things would automatically work themselves out in Southeast Asia if America would merely withdraw. Certainly, in the ultimate, no permanent or stable solution to the area's problems can be reached unless the people on the spot find their own answer to their own problems. But it is also possible to overlook the extent to which, the American presence in South Vietnam may ■have helped Southeast Asians find answers to some of their problems. .-_.-. To take but the most salient examples, there hdve been at least four changes in Southeast Asia during the past year which coincided with America's unequivocal decision to stand firm in Vietnam. If it cannot be proven beyond doubt that the American decision was at least partially responsible for what happened, nonetheless the coincidence is too striking not to be noted. The first two changes are Indonesia's crushing of the rising Communist danger, and the gradual decline In Pathet Lao popularity and influence. The former event might well hove happened anyway, but there are those who believed that the chain of events in Indonesia Was accelerated by the obvious fact that communism no longer appeared likely to win a military victory in nearby Vietnam. Similarly, the growing Viet Cong and North Vietnamese reverses on the battlefield could not fail to reach Pathet Lao ears. Even more directly connected with the change in battlefield fortunes in Vietnam is the noticeable diminution of next door Cambodia's friendship for Communist China: Indeed, there have been hints of late that "Pnompenh was ready to consider a return to easier relations with Washington, even though there is heightened American-Cambodian argument over the possible use of Cambodian border areas as Viet Cong refuges. In addition, there is the definite falling-off in . North Vietnamese-Communist Chinese warmth. This is traceable in part to Hanoi's need for types of weapons more easily obtainable from Russia than from China. "Bof-no- such' change in Hanoi's stance within the Communist world could have been predicted, had it not been for American military successes during the past year. —Christian Science Monitor. Monday, June 13, 1966 Law and Pickets No one could have envied a judgment Ontario Supreme Court Chief Justice G. A. Gale was called upon to make in a bitterly contentious and mounting Ontario controversy about the use of injunction* in strikes. But he has made it. His verdict is that 26 men, who were picketing a Peterborough plastics plant last February in defiance of a court order, were guilty df Criminal Contempt. "No one," he said, "should be permitted to express his displeasure at the state of the law by deliberately flouting it. To follow any other rule would be to tread the road of anarchy and chaos." In this case the injunction ordered a maximum of 12 pickets. Hundreds formed a line around the plant. The reason this Supreme Court judgment is of such deep significance — although it will no doubt set off another explosive political wrangle -7 is that it dealt with one of those thorny no-man's-land dilemmas that can never be neatly and finally dissolved by government or statute. No matter how we bind our labor- management procedures to regulations of law, emotions at given times will break down the gates. We cannot look for perfection; we search under our democratic system for a mitigation of the worst excesses of intimidation by employers and by employees alike. The glummest and most cynical analyst would have to concede we have come a long way from the day when force was used to prevent workers from Organizing and where retaliatory action led often to fatal violence. Would anyone want a return to that? A contention that the injunction is simply a method used by employers to keep their operations running after they have been struck is not a valid protest. An ex parte injunction, where a court orders that only 0 handful of pickets can parade in front of a factory, may properly be disputed by organized labor on the grounds that they too should be able to argue the need of it before a judge. But to order an injunction to prevent intimidation and violence is surely at times justified. It is this premise some union people so often challenge. It has been claimed that three or four people outside a struck plant can't even advertise to the public, which is the whole purport of picketing, that there is a strike in progress. It is true that the massive picket line surrounding the plants in Oshawa and Peterborough were not guilty of physical violence. The intimidation was glaringly clear and the picket line more than a demonstration. "Employees have the right to strike," Chief Justice Gale emphasized, "but by the same token employers have the right to continue their operations and to protect their property." Some politicians have gone so far as to claim that immediately a plant is struck, then all operations shbuld automatically cease. We doubt, with the type of jurisdictional disputes now emerging in our economy, and the fact that two or three men could shut down a factory on this basis, that this it really taken seriously by any informed body of union people. A judge, in deciding what sort of picketing can be set up, has clearly to be satisfied that a breach of the peace, injury to the person, damage to the property, has occurred or is likely to occur. It is anything but an easy verdict tb reach. Chief Justice Gale, reiterated that if labor unions feel present legislation is unfair or unrealistic they should seek proper channels for bringing about a change. Laws are made by legislators, not on the street. The Chief Justice paid a fully justified tribute to labor unions in general as an integral and valuable facet of our way of life. "They have," he added, "aided immeasurably in raising the standards of the working man and, in consequence, the standards of the community at large. With this enhanced role must come of necessity, an increased social responsibility which of course, includes the responsibility to recognize and promote respect for law and order. Any program, no matter how worthy the ultimate goal, which prescribes wilful defiance of the law can only be regarded as an exercise in irresponsibility." He pointed tb another important factor, which is that the injunction is far from a unilateral weapon against an opponent. "It should be noted," he declared, "that the use of injunctions is not limited tb employers. Unions or individuals have equal right to avail themselves of the law where employers or others create the necessary grounds. In the past some unions, quite properly, have come to the courts for protection." At very least this most Important judgment clears away a great litter of semantics. So-called "peaceful" picketing is a privilege, and a privilege no one has ever suggested should be denied or tampered with in the general run of labor-management disputes, any more than the right to strike. It need hardly be stressed that the Communist and. Fascist regimes alone have made strike protests-taboo. The lesson.from the experience of strikes in this country cind indeed south of the line is that violence and intimidation can not for long remain a one-way street. — Hamilton Spectator. Puzzle Purges Purges in Peking are rare, fbr the leaders of China's Communist Party have Shown remarkable unity through the years ahd have avoided Stalinist blobdbaths. But the apparent downfall of the high-ranking Peng Chen suggests that a major power struggle has been raging behind the vermilion walls of the Forbidden City, For several weeks, newspapers have been attacking senior officials of the local Peking Party branch and accusing them of apposing the leadership of Mao Tse- tung and supporting the so-called revisionism of the Soviet Union. Hinting at even juicier disclosures, the newspapers claimed that the offenders had been protected by "a big boss behind the scenes." Now the big boss has been harned, with the announcement that Peng Chen has been replaced as first secretary of the Peking Party committee, and crowds have been mobilized in the streets of the capital tb cheer his successor. Sb far, hd mention has been made of Peng's other posts bf Mayor of Peking and ninth-ranking member of the national Politburo, but it seems likely that his disgrace is absolute. This is a very big fish to fry, In terms of real power, Peng was usually placed as fifth or sixth in the Chinese hierarchy and he was often mentioned as a likely Successor to Mao himself. Since the Communist victory in 1949, there have been only two other public downfalls of comparable magnitude — those of the Man- churian Party boss Kao Kong in 1954 and Defense Minister Peng Teh-huai in 1959. It is hard to find a reason for Peng's apparent disgrace. Public attacks have so far been directed at prominent leaders in literature, the arts, journalism, and education. To a man, they are accused of spreading "anti-socialist" and "revisionist" ideas. This is consistent, and part of a long-standing campaign by the aging Party leaders to ensure that power will pass to the dogmatic faithful, rather than to relative moderates who might relax political pressures in favor of economic efficiency. But Peng was no one's favorite candidate for the leadership of any moderate faction. On the contrary, he was considered a diehard dogmatist who had made fiery calls for world revolution and had even taken on Nikita Krushchev in public debate. Since he was linked with the Indonesian Communist Party, Peng may be taking the blame for the disastrous failure of its attempted coup last autumn. It is quite possible, however, that his dismissal has little to do with ideology and reflects a naked struggle for power at the top. Although he has recently reappeared in public after a long absence, Mao Is infirm and possibly dying. Other senior leaders may have decided that Peng was running too hard for the succession and combined to cut him off. As the likely leaders of any such conspiracy, most China-watchers fevor Lin Piao, the seldom seen Defense Minister, and Teng Hsiao-ping, the Party's tough and stocky secretary-general. —Toronto Globe and Mail.

Comfortably seated in the armchair of laissez-faire, they are content to wait until things settle down and all becomes the best in the best of worlds. Result: Three ports" of ths St. Lawrence are inactive, work on Expo is. seriously threatened with a serious de- lay, the economy of Montreal is hit, ' cargoes rot aboard ships. And Ottawa, the news items say, "does not yet in-- tend to intervene." The devil! What is Ottawa waiting for? The see-saw ball game has continued . since May 9 and the most distressing thing is the indifference of almost everyone. Who is protesting? No one. The ship-owners and the longshoremen for almost two years have been examining the problems, very- complex it is true. But how do you explain the fact that they waited for the opening" of' navigation to become aware of their urgency and gravity? If they had wanted to do Just that, they could not have succeeded better. Then when three shipping centres of Quebec—ftp matter how Uttle geography a person knows, he must know these ports link our country to the rest of the world—are totally immobilized, the fact is coldly seen, not the least Clamor is raised, the losses and the damage accumulate, but they let the problem drift with the current. . Let us forget Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres for the moment. In Montreal, the civic administration owes it to itself to act without delay. The chamber of commerce and the board of trade have an identical obligation, and this is not limited to a banal telegram deploring the situation, A delegation, large in number and powerful, must go to the capital to tell whoever is concerned that our port ia at a standstill and that there is deterioration. ... Our port is about to give itself a detestable reputation. . . .

Appreciation Expressed To the Editor: Sir — Kindly allow tha writer to express his appreciation of your 31st Annual Pictorial Edition. I was particularly interested in your description of the Cody Caves and most interested in your article relating to the 'Date bf Salmo Founding Missing From Records'. This later reminded me of the splendid ear- . ly historical issues of the News. 1 believe you will be interested to know that what is now known as the Salmo River was originally the Salmon River. There are a great many Salmon Rivers on both Sides of the 'linO'. Evidently, in this case, the name was Changed to Salmo River. I would have liked to discuss this with my old friend, Cady DOnaldSoh. Ybu mention a tote road having been built from Waneta to Nelson in 1892. in the same year March 1892, before there was a Salmo, there was a booklet published by The Nelson Exchange in which the Salmon River is clearly marked. At that time the Spokane Falls and Northern Railway terminated at Little. Dalles. (Northport). It was brought into Nelson in 1893. In this same issue is an article entitled 'Salmon River' saying "This Oamp is located about twenty miles south of Nelson by trail, and has been but little prospected, but those persons who visited the locality last year report finding very rieh float, and there is every Sign that valuable discoveries will yet be made. Some placer mining is done in this neighborhood." Incidentally, the Hall brothers came up this Salmon River rout* from their home in Colville, Washington, prospecting and hunting when they discovered the Silver King Mine, the father of Nelson. In the 'History of Nelson and West Kootenay by Charles St. Barbs, published in September 1697, and also appearing in the Publisher's Notice, the name 'Salmon River' Is used. This brings us up to the time of Nelson's Incorporation in March 1897. You take it from there. Hoping, for the Sake of accuracy, that this information may be acceptable to those Interested, lam Very sincerely yours, Ross W. G. M. Fleming ulent bankruptcies in Canada. It is still the Canadian Lumber Dealers' Association which insists most vigorously on an inquiry capable of lancing and draining the abscess. Through the voice of Jacques LeBlanc, president of the Quebec Federation of Businessmen's Associations, the lumber dealers' association says that "fraudulent bankruptcies cost Canadian businessmen a half billion dollars in 1965." According to the same report, the business world is not the only one to be hit by bankruptcies. It is said tax revenue lost totals at least $150,000,000. Mr, LeBlanc says the government will have to seek this lost revenue in the pockets Of the man in the street while certain chiefs of the underworld, disguised as honest fl- nanciers or industialists, seem to control the destinies of the country. The statements Of the president of the federation Of businessmen's associations have an all - inclusive character which leaves few skeptics. Perhaps he used this tactic to impress public Opinion. But the fact remains that the abscess of fraudulent bankruptcies e x i s ts, that fraud constitutes a criminal Industry the ramifications of which cover the whole country and even cross Our borders. In millions of dollars, It represents much more than armed robberies. — Hector Heroux (June 4) Quebec Le Solell — The members Of the Quebec Provincial Police did not find it necessary to go through with their strike threat. A last- minute agreement was reached between association representatives and negotiators for the government. Thus, the policemen obtained what they were asking. Their association will have powers of a union organisation with certain limitations. It Is a happy solution to a situation which seemed to be leading only to a very grave crisis right in the middle of an election period. ... It is a happy solution because it prevented development Of a situation where an almost fresh start would have had to have been undertaken in the reorganization begun in the provincial police a few years ago. A strike would have in effect reduced to nothing the result of several years of work Both sides were conscious of this, even if at certain moments they gave the impression of totally forgetting this aspect of the problem. The demands of the association were not excessive and it would have been unpardonable on the part of the government to persist in obstinate refusal, just as it would have been unpardonable for the association to make the reinstatement of Constable Arthur Vachon (association president who was fired from the provincial police) a condition of settlement. The two parties thus on the whole come out of the dispute honorably, but one must wonder why they had to reach such an acute point of crisis to find a basis for agreement, which could have been found several weeks earlier. . . . (June 3) Ottawa Le Droit — The federal member for Megantic, Raymond Langlois, apologized to the Commons for his remarks about the population of. Notre Dame de la Guadelope which, he had said, was in such a state of depression following presumed irregularities in the winter works program that there were seven suicides there in 18 months. Saying he never wanted to link suicides and winter works, the member maintained that his words were badly understood and added that his statements referred to the area of la Guadeloupe and not to this one parish, .. .
