A reinforced security guard was on duty at the school--on the left bank of the Seine in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower --when de Gaulle made his visit. He stayed two hours, 20 minutes, inspecting installations and addressing students and teachers. There were no inci- dents.

But if its posi- tion was known, it was kept se- cret by Venezuelan authorities.

ABDE L SALAM AREF 'Lumber Industry Urging Changes WASHINGTON (CP) -- Stung by the United States Tariff Com- mission's decision on lumber, the U.S. lumber manufacturing industry has called for changes in President Kennedy's Trade Expansion Act to rearm the commission with power to fight competition from rising im- rts. "Under the present law, the tariff commission has virtually ceased to exist as an effective agency to which any beleag- uered domestic industry or its employees can turn for relief," said Mortimer Doyle, executive vice-president of the U.S. Lum- ber Manufacturers Association. In a_ precedent-setting deci- sion, the commission Thursday unanimously rejected the do- mestic industry's demands for higher tariffs and import quo- tas on Canadian softwoods. It a.so turned away the industry's demand that Canadian lumber b clearly marked with country of origin so that federal agencies could apply "buy American principles to give domestic pro- ducers preference. | SHIP HITS WRECK 500 Flee Liner In North Sea BREMEN, West Germany (Reuters)--A festive special trip aboard the Dutch luxury liner Maasdam ended today when some 500 passengers and crew members took to lifeboats after the 15,024-ton liner hit a wreck in the Weser estuary on West Germany's North Sea coast. An official of the Holland America Line, owners of the 11- year-old vessel, said there were no casualties, The passengers -- including government and foreign digni- taries, Dutch reporters and the Royal Dutch Navy 'band--were taken from the Maasdam's life- boats aboard the 763-ton Ger- man pilot boat Totthilf Hagen to go to Bremerhaven.

The commis- sion found that the act forbids escape-clause relief for domes- tic industry unless there is con- clusive evidence that the injury claimed resulted "in major part" from U.S. tariff conces- sions, FINDS NO EVIDENCE In the softwoods case, the commission ruled there was no such evidence. In fact, the con- cessions granted by the U.S. before and after the second World War were so minor that they had only a nominal effect on imports increase. Canada's lumber market in the U.S. has more thar doubled in the last decade, rising to some $260,000,- 000 a year. Major cause of this rise, said the commission, is the popular- ity of the Canadian product as well as diminishing U.S, domes- tic supply and rising American costs, Depreciation of Canada's dollar and lower Canadian ship- ping rates far outweighed any impact of lower duties on the ability of Canadians to sell in jthe U.S | "As for marking Canadian lumber with country of origin, this would tend to iacrease sales in the U.S, rather than reduce them, the com mission con- tinued.

Drop Polaris Pact: Wilson LONDON (AP)--Harold Wil- son, the youngest Labor party leader in British history and possibly the next prime minis- ter, wants Britain to get rid of its nuclear arms and abandon the Polaris missile agreement with the United States. In a television interview fol- lowing his election to the party leadership Thursday night, the 46-year-old Wilson said nuclear: arms should be confined to the United States and the Soviet Union. As the party leader Wilson HAROLD WILSON iv will become prime minister if Labor wins the general election which Prime Minister Macmil- lan must hold by October, 1964. Recent opinion polis have given Labor a clear edge over Macmillan's Conservatives. Wilson, a leftist intellectual and Labor's foreign affairs ex- pert, won the party leadership over George Brown, the more conservative deputy party leader. Wilson defeated Brown 144 to 103 in a secret ballot of the La- bor members of the House of Commons. Two legislators did not vote. Burly, pipe- smoking Wilson served notice immediately that he favors negotiations for an or- derly withdrawal from the pw | sau agreement Macmillan President Kennedy made to supply Polaris missiles for Brit- ish submarines. "As long as there are nuclear submarines in the world they should be held, as far as the West is concerned, by the United States and by the Soviet Union," Wilson said. He also said that he would like to see the U.S, Polaris sub- marine base at Holy Loch, and other such bases, taken out of the present American - British framework and put under NATO's wing. : Wilson insisted that Labor re- jects neutralism and intends to give firm support to the West- ern alliance. ome "Nothing greater
