At a diplomatic reception Fri- day night in Moscow, he dem- onstratively linked Communist on why Khrushchev slowed down. DOCTORS WARN HIM?

Diplomats had lots of theories Seized Vessel Otf Coast Of Dutch Guiana WASHINGTON (AP) A United States Navy search plane found the Venezuelan freighter Anzoategui today about 180. miles north of Suri- nam, Dutch Guiana, the defence department announced. The plane radioed that it was circling the ship and could read her name on the fantail. The plane was attempting to make contact with the ship by blinker and radio at the time it reported to the department. The vessel was reported trav- elling in a south-southeasterly @irection at a speed of 12 knots. The U.S. Navy Thursday had joined in the search for the ves- sel, taken over by a group of Communists Tuesday, at the re- quest of the Venezuelan govern- ment. There had been strong specu- lation that the pirates would take the ship to Cuba, which publicly offered them asylum Friday. But the freighter was more than 1,600 miles southeast of Cuba when it was located, and its reported course would carry it away from Cuba and in the! direction of Brazil, | tential - destination. It was to Brazil that Portu-| guese Capt. took the seized Portuguese liner Santa Maria in 1961 after he had taken control of the ship and its 950 passengers and crew in pro-! test against the rule of Antonio Salazar, the Portuguese dicta- tor. In Rio de Janeiro, a high! Brazilian government source in-| dicated the pirates would be granted political asylum. He said the right of political asy- lum is a Brazilian tradition "which I do not believe will now be changed."

When the or- Reds Demand West Accept 3 Inspections Bid GENEVA (AP) -- The Soviet Union Friday forecast collapse of negotiatioris for a treaty to ban nuclear testing unless the Western powers abandon their concept of effective enforce- ment. The Soviet first deputy for- eign minister, Vasily Kuznetsov demanded that the United States and Britain accept the Russian offer of two or three on- site inspections a year instead of the eight to 10 the Western powers want.

Georgi |Malenkov was premier then, but Khrushchev was the star of the evening. Both men made straight for the Western press, who were flabbergasted at this first oppor. tunity in history to link arms, sing songs and drink with the rulers of Russia. PRESENCE A TIPOFF Of course, there was a poli- tical motivation. Khrushchev's Presence at the Yugoslav em- bassy was the tipoff that the Kremlin intended to patch up its quarrel with President Tito in a spectacular manner. He frequently had a major po- litical or propaganda motive for his virtually nonstop partying, none more so than when he danced the cha-cha-cha with president Sukarno of Indonesia in June, 1961. » Khrushchev chose the same night for this display of gay abandon as President Kennedy chose to report to the Ameri- can people on his 'sombre' meeting with the Soviet premier in Vienna. A top aide told reporters the idea was to drive home the con- trast between Soviet confidence jand American nervousness after jthe meeting of the two. | "My tongue is my _ secret weapon,"' Khrushchev once told reporters. Priest Charges iJ UN With Mass 'Atrocities' UNITED NATIONS (AP)-- The United Nations Friday de. nied charges by a Roman Cath. olic cleric in Elisabethville that UN Congo troops subduing Ka- tanga were guilty of mass atro- cities and sacking of churches last December. The UN press department, in making public the denial, dis- closed here for the first time that the charges were contained in a letter written last Jan. 2 by Rt. Rev. E. Kileshie, vicar- general of the archbishopric at Elisabethville, capital of Ka- tanga, to the UN representa- tive there, E, Mathu. The denial was contained in a letter dated Friday sent by Robert K. A. Gardiner, Gha- maian officer in charge of the UN operation in The Congo, to the vicar-general. The letter referred to news- paper reports about the charges, some made by Arch- bishop Joseph Cornelis in Brus- sels and others sent to UN headquarters by Charles J. Bauer of the National Catholic | Welfare Conference in Washing- TORONTO (CP)--T. C. Doug- las says his New Democratic Party stands alone in '"'unqual- tion to nuclear arms." Opening his campaign Friday night in suburban York-Scarbor- ough, the NDP leader said the April 8 federal general election will be a referendum on the nuclear-warhead: issue. "This is the day on which the people of Canada are going to render their decision," he told a crowd of about 900 in a --er collegiate auditor- ium, Mr. Douglas said that before voting day the people want the matter discussed. He offered to debate the issue on a CBC national television network with the leaders of the other three parties, which he said ,have agreed in 'varying and confusing degrees" to ac- quisition of nuclear weapons for Canadian forces. The publicly-owned CBC re- cently offered free TV time for such a debate, if the party lead- ers could agree. CLAIMS DOUBLE TALK Mr. Douglas accused his po- litical opponents of double- ified and unambiguous opposi-} He said Prime Minister Diefenbaker said before the 1962 election that Canada would not acquire nuclear warheads but the NDP leader said that was "to get him over the election." The Conservative government clearly committed itself to nu- clear warheads four years ago and has spent $700,000,000 on equipment for them, Mr, Doug- las said. The Conservative administra- tion was "merely waiting for an opportune moment to break the news to the Canadian peo- ple." HITS AT "IBERALS Next tackling the Liberal po- sition, he said. Liberal Leader Pearson originally was against nuclear warheads, then said Canada should honor its com- mitments and accept them, and finlly--"when the brickbats be- gan to fly"--said Canada should renegotiate its commitments. As for the Liberal proposal to refer the mtater to a pariia- mentary defence committee, Mr. Douglas said this is "a clumsy device to get out of hav-' ing to take a clear-cut stand on this issue." He described the Social Credit talk on the issue. party as in "the very fortunate = =ITo de'Gaulle Plot PARIS (Reuters) -- Sources close to the French government said today that two women ar- rested in a new plot against the life of President de Gaulle have admitted that an attempt to kill him was planned during he French leader's visit to a mili- tary school in Paris Friday. Only four arrests have been officially announced so far-- three captains and a woman employed at the military school. But the sources said at least six persons were being ques- tioned, including the wife of one of the officers and a master- sergeant. The sources said. the plot came to Kght when a non-com- missioned officer, reached by the conspirators, tipped off mil- itary security. According to the sources, plot- ters asked the NCO to get a detailed plan of the huge mili- tary school building, which is on the left bank of the Seine facing the Eiffel Tower. They also asked him to study ways of smuggling a weapon into the school. WEAPONS SEIZED Three rifles equipped with telescopic sights have been seized in the police swoop. Informed sources have said the plan was for a marksman: posted at a window. to shoot down de Gaulle as he walked in the school courtyard during ton. his visii. Link Two Women To date, there have been at Douglas Views Vote As Arms Referendum position" of having two leaders- Robert Thompson and deputy leader Real Caouette, who were saying different things. Mr. Douglas said Social Credit is a party of two heads. One head did the thinking, the other the talking. "Mr. Caouette talks faster than Mr. Thompson thinks," he said. CLAIMS THEY DIFFER He said Mr. Thompson had said Canada should honor its commitments and accept nu- clear weapons. But meanwhile, T. C, DOUGLAS Mr. Caouette was saying in Quebec that Canada should re- ject nuclear warheads at home and abroad. Elaborating on the New Dem- ocratic Party stand, Mr. Doug- las said his party never had ad- vocated neutralism and unilat- eral disarmament. The object was to get the nu- clear powers to negotiate a nu- cear disarmament under -inter- national inspection and control. Meanwhile, Canada could con- tribute in these three ways: It could seek to strengthen the United Nations and expand it into a world authority, a world police force and world court. Canada would become part of the force. The alterna- tive to a force such as this was in and civil war on a world scale. Canada also could use its in- already oe ie sen world tensions and make disarmament easier: Accepting nuclear warheads on Canadian territory would mean losing this with Atro-Asian least four plots. Two of them culminated in ac- tual attacks on the president, who is biterly hated by the right - wing terrorist Secret Army Organization for his grant of independence to Algeria. Informed sources said one of the three captains who was ar- rested, identified as Capt. Maul- Canada could make conven- tional military resources avail- able to the United Nations, along with economic and techn- nical aid and personnel, to help meet "what in the final analy- sis is the real threat--hunger and misery that drive men to desperate acts." Khr Friday night he will meet again with Soviet intellectuals in their continued wrangle over free- dom for writers, painters and sculptors. He said the meeting would be this winter.

POLICE ON TRACK Police were also said to be on the track of Georges Waitin, 39, one of the accused in the current trial of 15 men charged with trying to kil de Gaulle last August, and another man be- lieved to be a civilian.

He urged the government "put teeth in the law" to pro- tect householders who do not un- derstand their legal rights.

"Men are pushed into the courts, meastred out in length, and they're out of court again before they know it," he said. He urged the appointment of an "ombudsman," a civil ser- vant independent of government to protect individuals from un- just or arbitrary government decisions; provision of a short statement of rights before a person is questioned by police and an independent committee to recommend reforms in court facilities and procedures. Premier Robarts assured the legislature that "ample oppor- tunity" will be given to debate the report on Ontario's royal commission on crime when it is available.

VIENNA (AP)--A group of Ethiopian students quit Bul- garia on the heels of 200 Gha- naians who left the Communist country Friday after charging that they were victims of racial discrimination. Hundreds more African stu- dents are reported waiting for funds for transportation to en- able them to get out. Six Ethiopian students ar- rived in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Friday night and reported to their embassy there. The Gha- naians flew to Amsterdam ear- lier in the day. "We have been called black monkeys and jungle people and we were treated like dirt," one of the Ghanaians, Robert Kotey, 25, said. Their departure followed the arrest Monday of seven leaders of an All-African Students' Un- ion in Sofia, which Communist authorities had banned. Police and militia beat some students when they staged a protest pa- rade Tuesday. Students said that during a year of study in Bulgaria they were insulted on the streets and fed a heavy diet of Communist doctrine in the classroom. "Whoever.among us had left- ist leanings has been cured," tice effectively if the depart-| ment's spending program was) approved before the report was| tabled. | Liberal members renewed pressure for byelection in Hal- ton, Sault Ste. Marie, Nickel Belt and Hamilton Centre, left vacant by the resignations or death of the members. They drew criticism from Donald C. MacDonald, New Democratic Party leader, after Mr. Trotter, calling for amend- ments permitting an automatic byelection when a seat becomes vacant, said failure to call. the byelections would make the government appear as a "party in power for 20 years and afraid to face the people." "It's like the pot calling the kettle black," Mr. MacDonald said. "The Liberal party out of} Office always talks differently) from the Liberal party in| power."' i Kotey told reporters.

He said he had financed the Ghanaians' exodus because "they told me they wanted to go ...I have to look after their welfare." He added that he plans to return to Sofia Tues- day and does not expect any difficulties with the Bulgarian authorities. EXPRESS SHOCK As. the Ghanaian press ex- pressed "shock and. dismay" over the reported treatment of African students in Bulgaria, the Soviet news agency Tass de- nied that any mass exodus was in the making. The agency, ap- parently reflecting Communist concern over the episode, said only a handful of the African students in Bulgaria had wanted the student union.

Kas- sem broke off negotiations ae Coolies Build Roads Into Northern Laos VIENTIANNE, Laos (AP)-- Chinese Communist coolies are building roads into northwest Laos similar. to those con- structed im northern India be- fore the Chinese push into La- dakh, reliable sources say. Intelligence reports indicate the Chinese are engaged in other surreptitious activity on their border with neutralist Laos, in- cluding stockpiling of arms and ammunition. The Chinese have been active since December, 1961, in build- ing a road from the Yunnan province town of Mouang Mang, into Phong Saly in northern Laos. An estimated 10,000 coo- lies have beem constructing a highway suitable for light trucks. Recent reports indicate they now are working on a road between the border town of Lau Ten and Muong Sing, in north- west Laos. This area fell to pro-Commu- nist Pathet Lao forces last May during the push. south toward Thailand. Once the new road network is completed, the Laotian towns of Nam Tha and Phong Saly will be linked for the first time through China. The Chinese also are reported using pack animals and coolies to carry arms and ammunition into Muong Sing. These arms are believed intended for Pathet Lao forces in the area. minor who accused Civil Rights Award - Winner Convicted JACKSON: Miss, (AP) -- A jury Friday night convicted law yer William Higgs, winner of a civil rights award, of contribut+ to the of a of morals charge was 'manufac. tured to stain my reputation." 2 Exits Blocked Where Four Died ~ PORT COLBORNE, Ont.
