The Senate government opera- tions committee would up a one- day secret hearing on the pro- posed sale Friday and Chair- man John L. McClellan, Arkan- sas Democrat, declined to make any statement other than that the committee likely will be re- called next week. However, Senator Kar! Mundt, South Dakota Republican, said he will recommend that bidding be re-opened "so that the United |States can get the highest price |and the best safeguards for the country." The committee met behind closed doors to explore allega- tions that the surplus planes, which William J. Chalk Asso- ciates of Toronto proposed buy- ing for $201,000, might end up in enemy hands. Chalk, who describes himself as an aircraft broker, has de- nied the allegations--made by a U.S. competitive bidder--and has offered to put up a bond as assurance that the planes won't fall into enemy. hands.

The 54-year-old president of the Seafarers' International Un- ion of Canada (Ind.) returned to his Montreal headquarters Friday night to prepare for his reappearance Monday before the federal investigation of la- bor strife on the Great Lakes. The American-born unionist, subpoenaed as a witness by Mr. Justice T. G. Norris, faces ques- tions from J. A. Geller, lawyer for Upper Lakes Shipping Lim- ited, when the public inquiry commission, said Friday he has completed his questioning of Mr. Banks 'for the moment." The fifth day of questioning was devoted chiefly to the pat- tern of violence and intimida- tion that marked the SIU's dis- 'pute with rival trade unions over its Great Lakes jurisdic- tion. Mr. Dubin said a "terrifying picture" of organized mayhem, strife and attempted murder emerges from the pattern of violence shown in testimony be- fore the inquiry.

Tom Hazlitt, veteran reporter of The Province, the city's morning newspaper, in a signed front-page letter to the mayor gave some incidents involving Indian women. One of these was when street cleaners found an Indian woman lying naked in the gut- ter under a viaduct. "She was dead from repeated blows to the head . . . The man who took his pleasure, then killed the girl and threw her out of his car, also threw away her clothes, one by one as he drove away." Dean Goard, president of the Native Indian Service Council --a group supported by local church organizations--said In- dians are similar to immigrants coming to the city. They needed some kind of so- ciety or centre to help them bridge the path between rural and city life. A spokesman for the Indian affairs department here said the department would be glad to co- operate with other organizations to clean up the situation. wayside ill Powers, head of ITU Local 6, boycotted it pending a union membership meeting scheduled for Sunday.

The first will be launched in late 1964 or early 1965. Formal approval is still re- quired--but expected--from the U.S. government whose space agency, the National Aero- nautics and Space Administra- tion, will put the satellites into orbit. Cest to the U.S. is ex- pected to be some $35,000,000. NASA launched Canada first satellite, the Alouette, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California last Sept. 28. OTHER PROSPECTS Ohter space projects in the development stage here ate: 1, Design by the RCAF of an air portable data-gathering sta- jtion for use in connection with the U.S. military satellite com- munications system known as Advent. 2. Construction by the trans- data-gathering station for use in connection with a Common- wealth satellite communications system. This station will be built near Ottawa or in the |Maritimes, depending on whether it is experimental or operational. This entire program is esti- mated to cost between $20,000,- 000 and $25,000,000 over a five- year period. Dr. A, H.

The satellite launchings will be spaced a year apart in the 1964-68 period.

The Katangan leader met briefly with members of his cabinet here, then told a press conference he will return to Elisabethville tonight and go to Kolwezi Monday. Kolwezi key mining centre 150 miles north- west of Elisabethville, is the last important town held by Katangan gendarmes and Tshombe's white mercenaries. Diplomatic sources and UN officials in Elisabethville said they doubted that Tshombe will return to the provincial capital. They felt that he would head directly for Kolwezi, where his men have mined vital industrial installations. UN troops advancing toward Kolwezi from Jadotville were last reported about 50 miles from the town. TSHOMBE FRIGHTENED The British and Belgian con- suls in Elisabethville who saw Tshombe, minutes before he slipped out in a police jeep, de- scribed him as "a frightened and dejected man." He ap- peared to be on his last leg in his long. struggle to keep his wealthy. province independent of The Congo. homibe travelled by. bush roads reach Ndola, just actoss the Rhodesian border. The two consuls, said they tried vainly to persuade Tshombe not to go, but said he was alarmed by the sudden ar- riyal in Elisabethville of 60 offi- cers of the Congolese National Army and a Leopoldville dele- gation headed by Congolese Pre- mier Cyrille Adoula's personal adviser. Western diplomats said that Tshombe had refused to sign a document agreeing to UN free- tinuous data for four years. dom of movement in Katanga TORONTO (CP)--Sharehold- jers of Gunnar Mining Ltd. have overwhelmingly approved) a company proposal to acquire McNamara Corporation Limited for $16,000,000 but the final de- cision may be up to the courts.

The combination of bitter cold, winds up to 50 miles an hour and heavy snow portende grim weekend for most of the province. The heavy snow warning, is- sued at 4 a.m., said: "The combination of an in- tense ridge of high pressure over Nortiern Ontario and an intensifying disturbance over Kentucky will result in easterly winds of 25 to 50 mph, and snowfall of 5 to 10 inches over central Ontario today.

Gunnar is ,one of Canada's leading uranium producers. Its uranium operations are based in the Beaverlodge area of northern Saskatchewan. The meeting Friday climaxed a fight begun last November which split.

Gunnar announced Nov, 27 it planned to acquire the heavy and recognizing President Jo- sef Kasavubu as head of a re- integrated Congo. Some sources said he now faces the threat of arrest and transfer to Leopold- ville, where charges of treason could be laid against him. Tshombe was said to have asked his supporters not to blow up mining installations in Kol- wezi as he had _ previously threatened to do if the UN troops advanced. As the UN troops continued their advance, Premier Adoula warned Tshombe he would be held directly responsible for any sabotage resulting from his ear- lier threats to launch a "scorched earth" policy in Ka* tanga rather than submit to an imposed settlements. Diplomatic informants re- ported Friday that Tshombe had offered to yield to the United Nations if allowed to remain as a provincial president of a re unified Congo. He wanted the UN to relay his proposal to the Congo government, they said; but the UN took the position that such matters are the con- cern only of the Congolese peo- le. PiThe UN advance on Kolwezi was delayed by blasted bridges, but giant U.S. transport planes are pouring loads of bridging equipment and other militaty supplies into Elisabethville. Tshombe several times has taken refuge in the Rhodesias where he found sympathy for. Scot wi ga. opposes strong UN action in the seces> sionist province. . : U.S. - Russians Try Again For. Weapons Pact WASHINGTON (AP) -- US. and Soviet disarmament experts are expected to meet in New York in a few days to see whether it is possible to break through the major barriers blocking agreement on a pact to ban nuclear weapons tests. State department officials look for an early formal an- nouncement of the exploratory talks. They will be held against a background of growing but cati- tious hope that an agreement on the test ban may prove nego- tiable. But the fact is, accond- ing to the best available infor- mation here, neither Russia nor the United States has recently indicated any change in its po- sition on the crucial issue of in- spection. The heart of the problem is the amount and kind of inspection which would be provided to po- lice a test ban agreement. Brit- ain and the United States in- sisted last year at Geneva that some inspection posts would have to be set up in the Soviet Union. | LOSER LABINE (LEFT) TALKS WITH LAWYER ~
