Three indictments returned by a federal grand jury Friday named 18 banks, a bank holding company and a clearing house in the criminal action. Government attorneys said they will bring companion civil suits Monday asking courts to prohibit the rate-fixing activi- tes charged in the indictments.

Europe Thaws After Freeze LONDON (AP) -- All across Europe today thaw cracked through the worst freeze of the century, bringing floods and landslides. The death toll climbed to near 600. Rain-lossened earth down on the village of Mirofil- len in central Greece, destroy- ing all buildings except the church and the school. Police warned the 800 villagers in time and they fled with their live- stock. Greek Air Force helicop- ters dropped tents arid supplies. Fo ur Yugoslav helicopters bombed the ice on the Morava River where it is nearly 10 feet thick. About 200 families were left| homeless in Leskovac, southern Yugoslavia. Rescuers formed a human chain in the river and passed children from hand to hand when 100 houses were in- undated in the Stalac area. In northern France, the flood threat mounted as snows began melting. Rain in northwestern France also added to the flood danger. The slow thaw continued in Germany, but was not fast enough to cause any flooding. In Britain, the threat of flood- ing moved to the north as the thaw spread up toward Scot- land. A Devon River board spokesman said widespread]; flooding was unlikely in the next 24 hours unless there was heavy rain.

REBEL RIFLE SOU KILLS IRAQ PREMI Thomson Predicts Soviet Capitalism MOSCOW (AP) -- Newspaper publisher Roy Thomson told the Russians today he is sure they will develop along capitalist lines, The Canadian - born million- aire is in Moscow at the head of 170 British business leaders he brought here for a spectacu- lar weekend visit. Thomson, 68, along with a group of the British visitors met at the Soviet foreign trade min- istry with Soviet officials and told them amid laughter: "As time goes on, I am sure you will develop along capital- ist lines. And you will make progress." "In the capitalist system we |have. to work like the deuce to make a living," Thomson told acting foreign trade minister Sergei Borisov. He added: "I think you are moving closer to capitalism and we are moving closer to communism. There will be a time when there will be an agreement point. It will be closer to cap- italism than to communism in my opinion." VISIT ENDS SUNDAY Thomson and his fellow cap- italists arrived Friday night and will return to London Sunday evening. i He staged the two-day trip to mark the first anniversary of the color supplement of the London Sunday.Times, one of the 100 newspapers he controls, Thomson is paying all the ex- penses except the air travel for which the Soviets contributed their biggest airliner, a TU-114, a turbo-prop plane which can carry 225 people. While Thomson visited the foreign trade ministry, others in his delegation broke up into make an issue "out of some- thing all parties are agreed upon, namely that there should be no outside interv ention in Ca- nadian affairs." Social Credit Leader Thomp-| son said it would be "'niost un- fortunate" if anti-Americanism became an issue but he was afraid it will become one. NDP EXPECTS IT A high official of the New Democratic Party said Mr. Diefenbaker evidently intends to "stress it a great deal,' while trying to picture Liberal Leader Pearson as being on the Amer- ican side. This official said that while he hoped Canada's 'firm determination to run its own af- fairs will be demonstrated, he} would not like to see Canadians|" led on a Yankee-baiting orgy.|5 Mr. Diefenbaker himself, out- lining his thoughts on the cam- paign Wednesday night, said the Conservatives have a plan for Canada's next five years. 8 It was in his words: "A plan|! to increase the economy, a plan to round out Confederation, to assure a strong Canada eco- nomically and politically, whose security will be protected with- out the loss of sovereignty and| without the domination of any} other country or countries; a Canada which, while interde- pendent will be independent.

The second forecast shows only $2,300,000 in the kitty at the end of March. By April 30, the fund would be in the hole to thé tune of $22,000-000. PROMISE LAWS The government of Prime Minister Diefenbaker had prom- ised legislation to repair the fund problem.

BRITISH BLAMED Borisov blamed British busi- nessmen for lack of enterprise in seeking Soviet ship orde.s. He said that the Soviet Union recently placed ship orders else- where because British ship firms lacked competitiveness. Recently, he said, the Soviet Union asked for bids on fish processing ships. He said that West German businessmen made four trips to Moscow to seek the orders and that Japa- nese representatives also came here while the only British ef- fort was a bid from one small firm. Thomson asked: "Was it slothfullness on their (British) part?" Borisov replied: 'That is ab- solutely correct." Borisov quickly added, how- ever, that the Soviet' Union had good trade relations with many British firms and that he was not generalizing when he _re- ferred to lack of competitive- ness. But on shipbuilders, he re- marked that an Italian firm supplied a 46,000 ton - tanker cheaper than British firms could supply one of 20,000 tons. Thomson countered that the Italian firm was subsidized and Berisov smilingly came back with: "That is an internal mat- ter. Business is business." Security Men Press Search For Third Spy CANBERRA (Reuters) -- Se- curity agents today pressed a search for the missing "third man" in the Skripov spy case. The Melbourne Herald says he was the man to whom a Rus- sian - made radio transmitter was to have been delivered by a woman counterspy. The "mastermind" of the al- leged spy ring is Soviet diplo- mat Ivan F. Skripov, ordered out of the country Thursday on charges he made "elaborate preparations for espionage." A Soviet embassy official said Friday night Skripov will be fly- ing home to Russia with his wife and nine-year-old son. The embassy said efforts were being made to get Skripov aboard a flight to Jakarta, In- jdonesia, Sunday. The Melbourne Herald's Can- the hunt for the "third man" had led to another review of the case of a Royal Australian Air Force clerk, Michael John Brown. Brown was jailed for one year in 1958 after secret documents were found in, his possession. The air force clerk was em- ployed in south Australia on work connected with the secret rocket testing range at Woo- mera.
