Senator George Aiken, Ver- mont Republican, said Diefen- baker's policy appears to re- quire clarification in view of findings by the U.S. govern- ment that nuclear weapons are essential for the defence of North America and the NATO alliance. Aiken, heading a 90-minute secret hearing by. his foreign relations subcommittee Mon- day, told reporters later the United States doesn't want to meddle in Canadian political af- fairs but that Diefenbaker ap- peared to have provoked the department's public reaction by disclosing confidential informa- tion in the Canadian Parlia- ment Jan. 25. j At that time the Prime Min- ister stated the two govern- ments were engaged "forcibly" in negotiating for Canadian ac- quisition of U.S. nuclear war- heads. The state department de- nied this Jan. 30, saying the ne- gotiations had been confidential, exploratory and _ inconclusive and that the Diefenbaker gov- ernment hadn't contributed ef- fectively to North American de- fence. QUESTIONS METHOD Aiken said he still is at a loss to know why the state de- partment resorted to a public statement to make this view known, instead of employing normal confidential channels. But Rusk, who testified before the subcommittee, took full res- ponsibility for the method em- ployed, Aiken said. "T am sure the secretary of state meant no offence to Can- ada. The secretary made clear in his release Ist Friday that while he regrets the tone of the statement--if this gave offence to some Canadians--this did not alter the position of the U.S. re- garding nuclear weapons." Aiken, who had accused the departmyent of clumsiness be- fore the hearing opened, said later be no longer feels the de- partment was clumsy though he still is not entirely satisfied with the manner in which the public statement was handled. An element that appeared to have modified the sharp criti- cism of the department's ac- tions was the sudden resigna- tion of Defence Minister Hark- ness from the Canadian cabinet. Aiken said Harkness' resigna- tion was considered by the sub- 7 but he did not want) "to comment on this because "a very delicate situation exists at Ottawa now." DEAN RUSK Asked if the subcommittee discovered who in the depart- ment had prepared the Jan. 30 Tshombe Leaves; Doctor's Orders ELISABETHVILLE -- Pres- ident Moise T: announced! today he is leaving Katanga for Rhodesia to be treated for eye trouble. : Tshombe said he will leave Wednesday. He could not spec- ify how long he will be away. "The doctors will decide that, be told a press conference. Tshombe said his eye trouble had gradually become worse since 1947. The president wore dark glasses behind which his eyes were watering slightly. He seemed tired. Last August, and in October, 1961, he was treated in Switzer- land for heart. trouble. Tshombe said he would rest for several days on a farm in Rhodesia and then might go to Europe if his doctors advised the trip. PLAN IMPLEMENTED Tshombe said his Katangan government now had "'totally implemented" UN __ secretary- general U Thant's plan for re- unification of Thc Congo. "It is now up to the three gov- ernments who guaranteed the application and who are respon-; sible to the world to see that the other side will also implement post offices examining the new bills.

"I am pleased to have ended my work and have done my duty although I have been suffering from ill - health," Tshombe said. "I did not want to abandon my people before I was certain that the U Thant plan was implemcated."

West Europe Still Held - InFreeze-Up LONDON (AP)--Western Eu- rope continued in the grip of the freeze-up today and battled against a new menace--attacks by wolves, buzzards and wild dogs. Hundreds of villagers were cut off by snowdrifts -- from western England to the Medit- erranean island of Corsica. Starving deer in the snow- buried Austrian countryside were fed by helicopter. Ele- phants in an English zoo were givefi rum to keep them warm. The wolves came out in France--for the first time in mine years, Experts said they had been driven by the cold from the mountains of Poland and Czechoslovakia, travelling across Europe at a rate of 60 miles a' day. One wolf was killed in Eastern France. Several others were re- ported sighted. The buzzards attacked people in the same area. One bird swooped down on a French farm worker amd cut his face seriously with its talons. The wild dogs killed 27 sheep and 12 lambs near Rodez, only 80 miles from France's Mediter- ranean coast, At least 12 more persons were reported to have died as a re- sult of the arctic weather. That brought Europe's death toll to 553 since the cold spell started. Five of the deaths occurred in France, two in Italy, two in Yu- goslavia and three in Britain. Two spinster sisters, 71 and 63, died from the cold in their caravan in Kent, southeast Eng- land. Police forced their way in and found the bodies of Ellen and, May Saunders. VANCOUVER (CP) -- Wind- driven snow piled feet deep over northern British Columbia Monday, cutting arterial high- ways, slowing industry and causing death. In the south an unseasonal thaw and continuous rain washed slides over roads and railways. In Kitimat, on the north coast, snow started falling Sunday morning. By Monday night it was more than three feet deep. Two men died from heart at- tacks trying to dig out their | cars. The snow depth was 59 inches on the Pine Pass section of the northern Hart highway and the slide potential increased. Milder temperatures brought a thaw to the south. The Trans- Canada Highway through the northern Fraser canyon was cut Monday night as a mud and rock slide 200 feet wide and 15 feet deep oozed across the two-lane link. in. which thelf. FORMER DEFENCE MIN- ISTER Harkness strokes his chin while pondering a reply to a reporter's question at a piess conference Monday in Ottawa. He said the majority of Canadians favor accept- ance of nuclear arms and the government might be defeat- ed on this issue in the next election. --(CP Wirephoto) Adenauer Opposed By Erhard BONN (AP)--Vice-Chancellor Ludwig Erhard hays he will back Atlantic unity even if it means opposing Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and that he is ready to take over as chan- cellor if backed by Parliament. The challenge, the strongest bid Erhard has made for the chancellorship, came Monday amid signs that an anti-Aden- auer group was emerging over resentment of the German- French co - operation pact, sparked by Farnce's rejection of Britain's bid to enter the Common Market. But a government spokesman said no serious opposition showed at a meeting Adenauer called with 30 parliamentary deputies, to press for ratiifcation of the treaty he signed with President de Gaulle. Before the meeting, Erhard, Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder and Christian Demo- cratic Party manager Josef- Hermann Dufhues conferred separately, leading to specula- tion of anti-Adenauer manoeuv- ring. Japanese Winter Death Toll At 110 TOKYO (AP) -- Snowslides killed 17 Japanese today raising the death toll to at least 110 in Japan's worst. winter in years.

The story, which originated well-informed poli- tical sources, was that the min- isters would seek a meeting with the prime minister after their conference and ask him chatting with George Loeppky, former Social Credit candi- date' in Lisgar, Manitoba, Monday' night. : --(CP Wirephoto) Cuban Missiles Said Not Menacing To US. WASHINGTON (AP) -- De- fence Secretary McNamara says "there are undoubtedly missiles in Cuba" but not of the type that would menace the United States. "Based on the available to me," believe there are missiles in Cuba this country today." Thus McNamara put his views. on the record in an ex- Clusive interview with The As- sociated Press as a congr2s- sional hue and cry rose over Soviet military strength on the island 90 miles from the Amer- ican Coast. One issue of the controversy is just how many Soviet troops are in Cuba. President Ken- nedy has estimated 17,000. Some legislators have expressed belief there are many more. McNamara, however, would not be drawn into that ques- tion. But he said that one reason for the maze of persistent re- ports on ballistics missiles in Cuba may be confusion over the information he said, "I no surface threatening 'BOLD NEW' PROGRAM Would Aid Mentally II WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pres- ident Kennedy today urged "bold new" programs he said would eventually free hundreds of thousands of mental patients from U.S. hospital beds and lighten the tragic toll of mental retardation. The cost for the first year would be $31,350,000, but it might cost many millions more when the program accelerates. His proposals were in a spe- cial message to Congress on mental health--the first such message sent to Capital Hill by a president. Kennedy asked for an across- the - board legislative program for: New community mental health centres, the centrepiece for bringing the mentally ill back to a useful life, and preventing new cases earlier; More pre - natal care for mothers-to-be to help ensure their infants will not be doomed to mental retardation; More child health care to de- tect and treat threatened cases earlier; More trained personnal and facilities for training and reha- bilitation of the mentally ill and retarded; More research centres to get at the causes and, hopefully, the cures, Specifically, the president in- tends to introduce four new bills, one of them not to be fully im- plemented until the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1964. That bill would encourage state or local governments or non-profit groups to establish networks of community mental health centres. It would provide part of the construction costs and up to 75 per cent of the staff costs fer the first 15 months, de- creasing thereafter for the rest of the four-year program. There is no price tag for this program. It now costs the U.S. taxpayer more than $2,400,000,000 a year for services to the mentally ill and retarded, the president said. He added: "This situation has been tol- erated far too long. It has troubled our national conscience --but only as a problem unpleas- ant to mention, easy to post- pone, and despairing of solu- tion." Within a decade or two, the president said, a broad new menta! health program can re- duce by at least half the 600,000 hospital mental patients. "Many more mentally ill can be helped to remain in their own homes without hardship to them- selves or their families," he said. 'Those who are hospital- ized can be helped to return to their own communities. All but a small proportion can be re- stored to useful life." He did not mention his own family's experience. A sister, Rosemary, 43, is mentally re- tarded and has been under cus- todial care in a Roman Catholic institution since 1941. Two of the bills the president intends to present are concerned directly with mental retarda- tion, and one of them--for voca- tional rehabilitation--is at least partly concerned with the prob- lem. The two direct proposals in- clude grants to set up research centres, care centres and to pro- vide for maternal and child health care and mental retarda- tion planning. various kinds of missiles that are. there. LIST MISSILE TYPES Of this latter category, Mc- Namara ticked off five kinds: "1, Air defence missiles, "2. Air-to-air missiles used by fighters to attack other fight- ers. "3. Surface - to - sea missiles used for coastal defence pur- poses, "4, Missiles for coastal de- fence punposes fired from pat- rol-type boats. "5. Ground - to - ground mis- siles for short range use against trodps in the field." Said McNamara: "It is en- tirely probable that missiles of these Classes exist in Cuba, and it seems probable that. the re- ports'. . . are based on that probability." Representative Donald C. Bruce, Indiana Republican, told the. House of Representatives he has information from friendly diplomats indicating that 40 or Market Entry 'Postponed' Hallstein Says STRASBOURG, 'France (Reu- ters)--West Germany's Walter Hallstein, president of the Com- mon Market executive commis- Sion, told the European Parlia- ment here today he considered Britain's entry to the market "is only postponed." Reporting on the failure of the negotiations on Britain's entry bid to Brussels last week, Hall- stein said a French demand to suspend the negotiations had brought about a "crisis of con- fidence" within the Community. But he warned against an- swering the French attitude by "disturbing or even only sys- tematically slowing down our procedures in the community's organs," This, Hallstein said, would not improve anything but '"'would on the contrary increase the dam- age." more Soviet intermediate-range missiles --. capable of striking U.S. cities--are still in Cuba. These, he said, are in addition to the 42 the Soviet said it put in Cuba and removed. after the threatening days of the crisis. The defence department swiftly disputed Bruce's con- tention, declaring: "No friendly government has so informed the United States. There remains no credible evi- dence to support his state- ment," Woman Given 3 Years In Abortion Case WHITBY (Staff) -- A 53-year- old Toronto divorcee was sen- tenced to three years in peni- tentiary today after she pleaded guilty to four charges of pro- curing an abortion. Clara Adeline Churchill, of 6 Howard street, was sentenced by Judge Alex C. Hail in County Court. Miss Churchill drew the three year term in Kingston Peniten- tiary after pleading guilty to # charges which date back to Det. Sgt. William Quennell, of the Metropolitan Toronto Po- lice Morality Squad, told the court that three girls were in- volved in the four abortions. He said that a Miss C. went to the accused's Toronto resi- dence in 1954 and paid $125 for an abortion. The girl aborted 14 hours later at a friend's house, he testified. In September, 1961, a Miss S. obtained an abortion after] ; paying a fee of $200. A Miss Q. paid $150. in March, 1960 for an abortion, the detective continued, In 1955, Miss C. again ob- tained an abortion for $150, Judge Hall pointed out, in handing down his sentence, that he sits in a court of man-made laws. 'Therefore the sentence is what is prescribed by a court of man-made law, not based on what some religions feel." to. polt the full cabinet on the idea. Names of the six ministers were not known. Finance Min- ister Nowlan was mentioned as a possible replacement for Mr. Diefenbaker as prime minister pending a party leadership con- vention. Non-Confidence Motions Face House Tonight OTTAWA (CP) -- The em- battled minority government, of Prime Minister Diefenbaker faces its stiffest test tonight in a Commons decidedly more hos- tile than at any time since the session began. Whether this hostility will be translated into hostile votes when the House divides is a question on which the: life of Canada's 25th Parliament hangs precariously, Facing the government are two non-confidence motions pro- posed Monday by the Liberal and Social Credit parties at the start of a two-day supply de- bate. Both allege indecision on the part of the government and are directly linked with the raging controversy over nuclear weap- ons, though their terms go be- yond it. This controversy took a dra- matic new turn Monday with the resignation of Douglas Harkness, chief exp it in the The speculation was based in part on the yee attitude of Social Credit. Its leader, Robert Thompson, is said to have as- sured an emissary for the six- man cabinet group that his fol- lowers would vote against the minority. Conservative govern- remains as prime minister. But if Mr. Diefenb-:er re- signed and another Conser- vative took his place, Social Credit would support the ernment, voting against its own non-confidence motion on which the Commons will vote. PROPOSED DEADLINE One source said that Mr. Thompson had given the Con servatives until 8 o'clock Mon- no action, Social Credit moved a no - confidence motion so phrased that all three opposi- tion parties could support it. ~ if Mr. Diefenbaker went, they would from the cabinet. Another person close to the situation said that the six min- isters attending today's meeting had their own resignations ready if Mr. Diefenbaker did not consent to their proposal. Three Senators Named Today OTTAWA (CP)--Appointment of three senators was announced today by Prime Minister Dief- enbaker. The three are Hon.. David Walker, former works minister, dof, cabinet of equipping Canada's armed forces with nuclear te ia from the defence. min- istry. GIVES LENGTHY SPEECH The Liberal motion, moved by Opposition Leader Pearson at the end of an hour-and-40-min- ute address in which he said the Canadian people should be given the chance to choose a better administration, reads: "This government, because of lack of leadership, the break- down of unity in the cabinet, and confusion and indecision in dealing with national and inter- national problems, does not have the confidence of the Canadian people." The Social Credit motion, technically an amendment to that of the Liberals, says the government has "failed up to this time to give a clear state- ment of policy respecting Can- ada's national defence," ted in the 1962 general election; Rheal Belisle of Sud- bury, member of the Ontario legislature for Nickel Belt; and Professor Paul Yuzyk of. Win- nipeg, professor of Slavic stud- ies and history at the Univer- sity of Manitoba. New standings in tle Senate are: Liberals 59; Progressive Conservatives 36; independent 2; Independent Liberal 1; va- cant 4--total 102. Mr. Belisle, born in 1919 at Blezard Valley, Ont., is a whole- saler and farmer. He served in the Canadian Army from 1941 to 1944, He has been MLA for Nickel Belt since the Ontario provincial election of 1055. Senator Walker, born in Tor- onto in 1905, was called to the Ontario bar in 1031. He. was special Crown prosecutor for the federal government from 1931 to 1935. Non-Confidence - Vote Procedure OTTAWA (CP) -- If Prime Minister Diefenbaker's govem- ment is defeated in the Com- mons on an opposition non-con- fidence motion tonight, it will have an immediate opportunity to move a mew motion of con- fidence in itself. The voting, under House of Commons rules, must start not later than 8:15 p.m. EST. First to be voted on is a social credit non-confidence motion criticiz- ing the government for; among other things, not making a clear Statement on defence policy. If the Social Credit motion fails, a vote will be taken im- mediately on a Liberal resolu- tion criticizing the government for imdecision. "If the Liberal motion also fails to win a clear majority in the House, the government is sustained in power. But if either the Social Credit or the Liberal resolution passes, any member of the cabinet can move a new motion for the House to take up consideration of departmental estimates. Passage of that motion would sustain the government in power but 'defeat of it would confirm the government's defeat in the Commons. The normal course in'such a circumstance is for the govern- ment to ask the Commons for an adjournment while the ca- binet considers its course. It can either submit its resig- nation to the governor-general and ask him to call on one of the other party leaders to try to form a government or -- more likely -- ask the governor-gen- eral to dissolve the 25th Parlia- ment amd call a general elec- tion. The Diefenbaker government would then remain in office dur- ing the election campaign.
