Red interviews with the prison- ers who haye refused repatriation were cancelled for the eighth straight day when the Commun- ists repeated their demand to see 356 PoWs who were skipped by stalling persuaders last Thursday. Official quarters said the Red move appeared to be merely a manoeuvre while the Communist high command decided whether to go along with new rules for run- ning the interviews or torpedo the explanation program.

Rossmann and Mayer were Rere today to present Papers at the an- nual meeting the American Meteorological Society. _Rossmann claims there is a ter- rifically-powerful down-draft in the funnel of a tornado--not an up- draft as has long been believed.

This word came immediately af- ter Chairman Harold Velde (Rep. Ill.) had announced the indefinite postponement of Friday's sched- uled appearance of Truman before the committee in ifs projected. in- quiry into the Harry Dexter White case. The source reporting refusal to obey the subpoena is- sued by Velde said the former president based it on the doctrine of the separation of powers in gov- ernment -- that the legislative branch has no authority over the executive branch. SENT TO VELDE Truman, it was said, forwarded his statement to Velde. Attorney-General Herbert Brown- ell has charged that Truman pro- moted White to a high Jjovemument post in the face of 1 reports that White was a Communist spy.

FAY WASHINGTON (AP)--An Atomic Energy Commission member sug- gests that foreigners, presumably including Russians, should see a United States hydrogen bomb ex- ploded as a sample of the destruc- tive alternative to world peace. The idea,. expressd by Thomas E. Murray Wednesday night, came as th U.S. is preparing another and probably fiercer hydrogen test blast, and as Defence Secretary Charles E. Wilson talked of "many more discoveries in the atomic e." urray made his H-bomb i estion in a speech at Pittsburgh. e said first-hand observation of an H-bomb's thunder 'is an es- sential qualification for future ne- gotiators of the great survival is- sues in the years ahead." Such an American showing, he added, might persuade the Russians to match it with a démonstration of their own. Murray said the AEC hasn't yet studied . the idea in detail or reached a decision. Canada, U.S. Establish Joint Economic Board OTTAWA (CP)--Canada and the United States today established a joint committee on trade and ec- onimic affairs in an attempt to forestall future friction and pro mote greater trade between the two countries. The unprecedented step to pro- mote a "healthy" "ow of trade across the Canada-U. S. border was sompleted in a signing cere- mony at Washington at 10.30 a. m. EST today. Ambassador A. D. P. Heeney ven for Canada; State Secretary John Foster Dulles for the U. On the committee, which will consider all matters "affecting the harmonious economic relations be- tween the two countries," will be External Affairs Minister Pearson, Trade Minister Howe, Finarice Minister Abbott, and either Ags culture Minister Gardiner or F' eries Minister Sinclair. American members, will include Mr. Dulles, Treasury Secretary Humphrey, Agriculture Secretary Benson and Commerce Secretary Weel osbinet membess from both countries may be designated to act on the committee from time to time, especially for special problems. PREVENT FRICTION Major reason for the committee, first proposed during Prime Min- ister St. Laurent's visit to Pres- ident Eisenhower in Washington last May, is to prevent embarras- sing trade friction on either side. For example, U. §. im curbs on dairy products brought a rash of protests from Canada and other countries selling these products in the U. S. There was talk of Canada retaliating against American goods, but no action has been taken. Now there are demands in the U. S. that imports of certain fish roducts, oats and lead and zinc restricted on the ground they are harming American producers. These di d d n to Canadian officials. Officials here said that once the new committee starts. functioning, far-reaching economic policies may be hammered out. These policies, though not legally binding oa either country, likely would seep down through administrative ranks, bringing the two countries closer together in outlook on multilateral trade and elimination of tariff im- pediments. TOP-LEVEL EXCHANGE The committee's functions under the agreement are: 1. To consider matters affecting harmonious economic relations be- tween the two countries. 2. To exchange information and views on matters which might ad- versely affect trade. 3. To report to the respective governments at that confideration may be given to measures to im- prove economic relations and en- courage trade. § This top-level committee will meet "once a year or more often. the agreement said. Meetings will alternate between Ottawa and Washington. Time and place of the first meet- ing have not been announced, but it is understood that they may be discussed when President Eisen- hower arrives here tomorrow for a state visit. Truman's | '* | said, however, that the length of oned possibility of a showdown on the issue of whether the ex-president had to comply with the subpoena to tell of his actions in the White case seven years ago. NOT GIVING UP However, Velde said he was nol dropping the matter. He issued this statement: "I feel very definitely that Harry 8. Truman and Governor Byrnes (of South Carolina) should appear before the un-American activities committee to give information to the committee concerning the Dexter White matter. I feel issuing the subpoenas for them and will continue pressing for these hearings. Harry ( that I was within my rights into BYRNES CONSENTS "Governor Byrnes has very kindly consented to be heard by the subcommittee in his home state. "As soon as it is possible,I in- tend to call an executive meeting of the whole committee to deter- mine these issues. Until that meet- ing is held, I feel that it will be necessary to postpone the hearing of Harry 8S. Truman set for to- morrow." Earlier, Velde had cancelled a subpoena for Maj. Gen. Harry H.

ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON (AP) Pres- ident Eisenhower leaves late today on a '"'good neighbor" trip to Ott- awa for discussion of mutual prob- lems -- such as continental de- fence--with top Canadian officials. Trade problems also are expected to be high on the list. The president will be accompan- ied by Mrs. Eisenhower, Ambas- sador and Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge and a small staff of White House aides. Lodge is chief of the United States mission to the United Na- tions. The president told his press con- ference Wednesday that he is going to Canada to pay his res- pects to the Canadian people.

On defence, the speech said: "Much remains to be done be- fore there can be a permanent and durable peace in the world. My ministers therefore consider it would be unwise for the free na- tions to slacken our efforts to build up and maintain the neces- sary strength to deter aggression tnd they intend to continue to work to that end." Canada's defence budget last year was $2,000,000,000, roughly half of entire government expendi- tures. FAVOR AID TO OTHERS On international affairs," t he speech said Parliament will asked to approve further assis- tance for relief and rehabilitation, for technical assistance to under- developed countries and for con- tived participation in the Colombo Plan to assist development in south and southeast Asia. ; The government previously had indicated in the United Nations its assistace from $800,000 this year to $1,500,000 in 1954. Canada has ut $75,000,000 into the Colombo | lan in the last three years. HOPE PEACE STAYS On Korea the speech said: "We have every reason for satis- faction that through the use for the first time of collective police action the objective of the United Nations in Korea has been sub- stantially achieved. The aggres- sors have been driven back, the fighting has ceased and an armis- tice has been concluded. My gov- ernment earnestly hopes that a political conference will ultim- ate d in restoring peace president, and said it is i iv- able to him that Truman know- Li ly would appoint a spy to high ice. Brownell himself followed up with a statement he had "no in- tention of impugning the loyalty of any high official of the prior administration." But he said addi- tional evidence just turmed up see show d doubt that there was laxity dealing with Communist infiltration of the gov- ernment. There are some indications, al- though no one is talking for pub- lication, that the house group might put off any public hearings until Congress reconvenes in January. Hearings now, it is felt, might put Truman in the spotlight in the minds of many as a political mar- U.S. Claims Wonder Jet WASHINGTON (AP)--The air force today said the United States has its first jet engine "with an official rating in the 10,000-pound thrust class." It is the Pratt and Whitney J-57, which powers the air force's light- engined heavy bomber, the Boeing B-52 and its new supersonic fight- ers, the North American F-100 Super Sabre and the Convair F-102. t East Hartford, Conn., Will- jam P. Gwinn, genera) manager in a statement that the J-57 is "at least two years in advance of any other Pagine we know of in the turbo-jet field," including Brit- ones. EXACT RATING SECRET The air force declined for secur- ity reasons to give the exact power rating of the J-57. Pounds of thrust, the power measurement for jet engines, can- not be readily interpreted in terms of horsepower. At 20,000 feet of altitude and 735 miles an hour, a pound of thrust is roughly equal one horsepower, but at 40,000 feet and 600 miles an hour, a pound of thrust is the equivalent of two horsepower.

OTTAWA (CP)--Highlights of the speech from the throne read at the opening of Parliament: pe 4 Much remains to be done before there can be permanent and dur- able peace in the world. Canada's military buildup will be continued becausé it would be unwise for free nations to slacken efforts to deter aggression. If peace is maintained there is every reason to look forward to continued development of Canada. The government hoy es that peace will be restored in Korea at a po- be | litical conference. Parliament will be asked to ap- prove further assistance to under- developed countries and continued participation in the Colombo plan. The government continues to re- gard the North Atlantic treaty as one of the foundation stones of Ca- nada's external policy. Canada's foreign trade has reached rtcord levels but dollar shortages in many countries con- tinue to prevent some sales abroad. The government will continue ef- forts to reduce trade restrictions among countries. Canada centinues to enjoy gen- eral prosperity although some sec- tors of the economy, including agriculture, face difficulties. The National Housing Act and the Bank Act will be amended to enable more Canadians with mod- erate incomes to own homes.

G. Deverall, called "shock- ing sex, narcotic and alcoholic con- ditions' in Japan. Deverall, AFL representative in Japan, said in Chicago Wednesday that drinking and misconduct is rampant among U. S. troops in Japan: "Mr. Deverall has painted the worst phase, but not the general over-all picture and not what is sincerely being done to stamp out this evil," the foreign office spokes- man said. He added that larpely as a re- sult of work by Japanese and American authorities the number of prostitutes around Chitose air base has dropped from 3,000 to 1,500 and the: number of brothels from 596 to 390 in two years. | PE (Continued on Page 3 ack Flies Invade U.K. LONDON (AP) --Eight English seaside resorts appealed today for government aid against a p of blackflies which hitch-hiked across the Atlantic on floating sea- weed. Millions of the insects have ap- ared on the beaches of Brighton, onhing, Hove, Littlehampton, Bognor Regis, Shanklin, Lyme Res gis and Ventnor. Bug experts say the flies are a type common along the eastern coast of North America. They are believed to have made the crossin on seaweed carried by the Gull stream. The flies lay their eggs in the beach shingle and the grubs ma- ture Joop in the sand. At Brighton, attacks by flame thrower and heli- copter-sprayed insecticide have fail- ed to budge the pests. The resorts fear the flies will drive away vacationers unless wiped out before next spring. Duke's Conscription Speech Blasted EDINBURGH (Reuters) -- The Scottish Socialist weekly, Forward, today called the Duke of Edin- burgh 'the Royal meddler'" and attacked him for "an intolerable intrusion into political affairs." It was referring to a speech on education the duke made last week while being installed as chancellor of Edinburgh University. He spoke of draft service in the armed forces as "a very important character- building experience." Forward countered: 'The ques- tion of national service is one of the many issues on which Labor will fight the government in the new session of Parliament--yet a member of the Royal Family has chosen this moment to make a speech favoring the indefinite re- tention of conscription. STATEMENT "FATUOUS' "The Duke of Edinburgh said he considered national service was right in itself. This was a remark- able statement--for not even the present government has dared to use this argument. "The duke repeated the quite fatuous statements that conscrip- tion was 'character-building,' that it was 'the final stage of a student's education' and that it 'knocked the rough edges off people.' "The first statement is accurate, although the public's interpretation is likely to be rather different from the duke's. The second indicates that the duke has a rather unusual definition of the term 'education,' while the latter only demonstrates his passionate militaristic desire for uniformity. "It would be kind to describe the duke's intervention as unhelp- ful--in fact far too kind. It was an intolerable intrusion into polit- ical affairs." O'ORIGNAL (CP)--The 'trial of George Lahaie, 20, on a charge of murder came to a dramatic, tearful climax late Wednesday with the appearance of the ac- cused in the witness box. The case is expected to go to the jury today. Members of the jury and most courtroom tators wept as the slim, white-faced youth denied he deliberately murdered Antonio La- lande, 35, last May 6, and then described a life of neglect and hunger since he was a child. G TESTIFIES Earlier in the day, Lahaie's 19- year-old girl friend, Louise Capello, now the mother of a two-month- old boy, had given her version of the knifing in the shack at Bour- get, 25 miles east of Ottawa, they shared with LaLande. Lahaie said he and Miss Capello met LaLande one night last April in an Ottawa restaurant. They had told him the girl was pregnant and that they had been sleeping under for several nights a 4 and LaLande had invited them to stay with him. Lahaie agreed to work for La- lande, and pay $15 Ronttly for room and board, Lahaie. said, but the older man had told him not to worry about paying him at first. In the meantime, Lalande would pay him. SEARCHED POCKETS The day before the slaying, Lahaie said, he had asked Lalande for 'some of the money he owed me" but Lalande. said he hadn't any. When he got up before dawn the next morning to go to work hauling scrap, he decided to see if Lalande had told him the truth, Lahaie added. ' 'Lalande was asleep and I be- gan going through his pockets," but LaLande woke up. "I was afraid and I grabbed up a bottle and hit him over the head." "It didn't make him unconscious and he jumped up and grabbed me by the throat. I fought him as hard as I could . . . but he pushed Jury In Murder Case Weep Over Accused's Past Life me against the bureau. "I reached behind me and grab- bed the knife. I didn't mean to stab him. I only wanted to frighten him. But he was choking me I hit him with the knife." REVIEWS HIS LIFE After that it was "all just a dream. For playing truant because "I had no shoes to wear," Lahaie said, he was sent to the industrial school at Alfred, then released in custody of a Hawkesbury woman. She had given him his only real home, he said, breaking into tears. In 1951 he had met and fell in love with Miss Capello. They had lived together. The girl had be- come pregnant in January. Miss Capello told the court that after Lalande's death, they fled from Bourget to Ottawa in La- lande's truck with $58 Lahaie told her he took "for the baby." Twice while she spoke, Lahaie broke down and wept in the prisoner's box, once 'when she said she still loves him.
