The hope among Western leaders is that if and when Khrushchev does sign a treaty with East Germany he will pro- vide for restraints on sub- sequent East German actions to avoid a showdown with the Western powers over their use of the supply lines to Berlin.

The 300,000-word report, re- leased today by Prime Minister Diefenbaker, is bluntly critical of many aspects of federal op- erations but stresses that no one element of government is to blame, H Rather, it pictures the federal which has grown "willy-nilly" on a set of practices "bearable" 40 years ago but unsuited to to- day's enormous operations. It is the nation's greatest single em- ployer, biggest land - owner, chief tenant and heaviest con- sumer. The report, almost two years in. the making, is the first of five planned by the three-man commission headed by J. Grant Glassco, 57 - year - old Toronto chartered accountant and busi- ness executive. The other com- mission members are Watson Sellar, 69, of Ottawa, retired au- ditor-general of Canada, and Eugene Therrien, 56, Montreal insurance company executive and lawyer. ; It took 197 specialists--176 of them from outside government --and nearly $3,000,000 in fed- eral funds to handle research for the commission's study, de- scribed in the report as "the Sputnik Breakup 'Viewed In St tes F Hearings could be delayed | Hog Cholera MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Rus-, Smithsonian mathMeticians said It ticked off the two space) sia's four-ton Sputnik IV, put in| the satellite was i orbit 28 months ago, apparently| stay aloft beyond Fri early Wednesday, identified flying objects.

The commission as a whole also reported that there appears to be some _ discrimination against women in senior posts, hiring and pay scales. Among other matters it calls for the dilution of the veterans' preference in civil service hir- ing, revised accounting methods to give a clearer picture of op- erations and a simpler but more informative method for present- ing spending estimates to Par- liament for approval. The report's central theme is the need to get rid of outmoded controls and put the depart- ments on a businesslike basis. The royal commission was set up Sept. 27, 1960, to recommend changes which would '"'best pro- mote efficiency, economy and improved service in the dis- patch of public business." EUGENE THERRIEN TORONTO (CP) -- The On- tario Court of Appeal today threw out Vincent Feeley's at- tempt to disqualify Ontario's royal commissioner on crime and. handed his lawyer a sting- ing rebuke for taking the action before the court. A three-man panel of the court issued the rare penalty of ordering the lawyer, Walton C. Rose of Toronto, to pay person- ally the costs of all parties in- vived in the hearing. No figure was named, but an informant said this could be between §$2,- 000 and $3,000, The unanimous judgment, up- holding the commissioner, Mr. Justice W. D. Roach in his ac- tion in privately questioning a prospective commission wit- ness, opened the way for re- sumption of commission hear. ings which had been called off Aug. 10 when. Feeley claimed the commissioner disqualified himself. Epidemic -- Not Finished MONTREAL (CP) -- Que. bec's epidemic of hog cholera is a long way from being over, officials of the federal agricul- ture department warned today.

Their destruction will bring to 13,172 the. number. of hogs Move By Gambler further by an appeal to the Su- preme Court of Canada, but Mr. Rose said after the issuance of the Appeal Court judgment that he would consult with Feeley before, deciding on further ac- tion. Commission Counsel Roland F. Wilson said that public hear- ings of the commission might re-open Friday but this would be decided by Mr. Justice Roach, Feeley, who. had been called to the witness box when sittings unexpectedly broke off on Aug. 20, is scheduled to be the first witness at the resumption but he may be in jailors' custody when the hearings resume. FREE ON BAIL The gambler has been out on bail since last March following conviction on a charge of con- spiring to obtain police informa- tion illegally. His appeal is due to be heard Friday by the On- tario Appeal Court. Feeley and two defendants were due to surrender to au- thorities at the Don Jaii here Friday and to remain in cus- jtody until the appeal has been disposed of. Mr. Wilson said that if Feeley is a prisoner when he is sched- uled to take the witness box, he will be brought before the com- mission under guard. The other two men appealing' convictions are his partner Jos- eph McDermott, also under su- poena as a commission witness, and Robert J. Wright, former member of the Ontario Provin- cial Police anti-gambling squad who. has testified before the commission.

Further, the United States would be accused of using the same tactics it condemns when used by the Soviet Union. _ If the U.S. penmits Cuba to continue unmolested, then Cuba becomes an ideal training ground for Latin American guerrilla forces which could un- dertake what Soviet Premier Khrushchev calls "wars of lib- eration." .

There is no doubt that the United States could clean house in Cuba--if the U.S. would be willing to pay the price. Space Weapons Curb Offered By Kennedy WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Kennedy administration has of- fered to refrain from launching into orbit weapons of mass de- destruction that would make space a battlefield, if the Rus- sians will do likewise. The offer was made by Dep- uty Defence Secretary Roswell Gilpatric Wednesday night in words reported to have been written by members of the White House staff. Gilpatric told an industry-uni- versity audience in South Bend, ind., that "we have no pro- gram to place any weapons of mass destruction into orbit." "An arms race in space will not contribute to our security," he said, "I can think of no greater stimulus for a Soviet thermonuclear arms effort in space than a United States com. mitment to such a program. This we will not do." Gilpatric said there is no doubt that either the United States or Russia could send hy- drogen weapons into orbit 'but such an action is just not a ra- tional military strategy for either side in the foreseeable future."

Soblen was hurried to Hilling- don Hospital near London Air- port, seriously ill and unconsci- ous.

Living Costs Hit New Peak OTTAWA (CP) -- Canadian livng costs, rising in July for the third straight month under the pressure of higher food prices, hit a new peak Aug. 1. The consumer price index climbed to 131.4 on Aug. 1 from 131.0 a month earlier, the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics re- ported today. The advance of four-tenths of a point in the cost-of-living yardstock, which is based on 1949 prices equalling 100, caps a three-month rise of 1-83-10 Tig from the May 1 level of In a year the index has risen 2 3-10 points -- 1.8 per cent-- a, - mark of 129.1 on Aug. it in. a simulated|* suicide attempt; again delayed| ¥ The DBS report did not spe- cify the -conomic factors be- hind the recent increase, but the three-month climb coincides with the May 3 devaluing of the Canadian dollar to 92% U.S. cents. This has increased the Canadian dollar price of im- ports and also the price of a number of Canadian goods--es. pecially foods like beef and pork -- where prices are gov- erned by American markets. Higher food prices were the over-riding cause of the recent increases. The index of food costs-- which makes up 27 per cent of the total index--jumped to a record 128.4 on Aug. 1 from 127.0 a month earlier. It now is nearly four points higher than the May 1 level of 124.5. During July there was a sharp seasonal rise in egg prices and "substantial" price boosts for beef and pork. Price tags on some cuts of beef topped their previous peaks set in the 1951-52 period. Also cost- lier were lamb, chicken, turkey, canned fruits, grapefruit, sugar and flour. There were seasonal price declines for most fresh fruits and vegetables. Industrial wages have been rising too, The. index of aver. age industrial 'wages and sal- aries at July 1--latest data available--was 188.6 compared with 188.1 a month earlier. Apart from the boost in food prices during July, there were no significant changes in the basket of goods and services counted in the consumer. price index. ' rT SCALE SHOWS COST & CLIMB
