Communist China announced over the weekend it had pro- tested to the International Red Cross about use of poison gas in South Viet Nam by "U.S. imperialism." U.S, officials here and in Washington denied the charge. But in some provinces, par-| ticularly in the northern high-| lands and in the Mekong River| Delta, many peasants appar-| ently believe it.

In a report prepared by Dr. Howard §.

These are: The extent to which the legislative authority is used, and the ability of Ca- nadian producers to supply the U.S. market. "Many Canadian manufactur- ing industries have not been able to expand production be- cause they do not have access to markets sufficiently large to warrant the large overhead needed to make low unit costs possible," Dr. Piquet said.

Somali MOGADISHU, Somalia (Reu- ters)--The Somali Republic an- nounced today its decision to break off diplomatic relations with Britain because of Brit- ain's decision not to permit Kenya's northern frontier dis- trict to join Somalia.

The decision is subject to ratifica- tion during the present emer- gency session, A British foreign office spokesman in London said Brit- ain regretted the break in dip- lomatic relations. Britain recently assured So- malia's government severa times that it will have the op- portunity to express its views about the disputed territory, in- habited by 280,000 Somalis, be- fore any final decision on the territory is taken.

He proposed that Syria, Iraq, the United Arab Republic, Al- geria and Yemen form the uni- fied command. El Saadi said the five nations' armies should be empowered to cross the border of any of the five states "in the event of be- ing threatened by outside ag- gression.""

Bidault Appeal Jolted By Adenauer's Refusal MUNICH Anti - Gaullist leader Georges Bidault's bid for political asylum in West Ger- many received a jolt today when it was announced Chan- cellor Adenauer has refused to accept his letter making the re- quest. The announcement of Aden- auer's refusal was nade ds a government spokesman in Bonn as police questioned the former French premier about his acti- vities in West Germany. The Bonn spokesman told a press conference Bidault's let- ter had been taken by special messenger to Adenauer's home during the weekend but had been returned to the messenger immediately. The Bonn spokesman said "the letter has not been ac- cepted" but he stressed this did not mean political asylum had been refused. Asked to whom Budault must apply for asylum, he quoted a law stating that application police department in the area in which the applicant was resi- dent. In this case it would be Starn- berg, a lakeside town near Mu- nich, Informed sources said it was likely that.as a result of the questioning Bidault would either be arrested for a tormal investigation of his activitites in West Germany or taken to the frontier of his choice and ex- pelled from West Germany. Federal Prosecutor Antonius Berard told reporters today's interrogation had nothing to do with the former French pre- mier's request for political asy- lum in Germany. He said this was a matter for the Bavarian state government, although the federal govern- ment in Bonn "naturally" would give advice. _ Bidault, cool and immaculate in a grey overcoat, turned and posed for photographers on .he must be made to the foreign Steps of the police station after \ being '@¥iven there from his hideout villa. in the. village of Steinebach, on Lake Woerthsee, southeast of Munich- During the night, police main- -- a heavy. guard on the ASKED FOR ASYLUM The 63-year-old former pre- In 1958 he won over a Libera' by 35,428 votes, the largest mar. gin ever recorded by a federal candidate.

"There's an accentuation on youth in public service," He was asked why the ap- pointments were made now ra- ther than after the election and- he replied: "'Now's the time to make these appointments."
