Model ontinues LONDON (AP) -- Scotland Yard had its dragnet out today for playgirl Christine Keeler. Her mysterious failure to tes- tify against a former lover, charged with trying to kill her, touched off speculation of hanky-panky reaching into high- est government circles. War Minister John Profumo told the House of Commons Fri- day that he knew the girl, but had not hidden her away to pre- vent possibly damaging testi- mony. He threatened to sue for libel anyone who repeated out- side Parliament allegations made by Labor party members in the House under parliamen- tary privilege.

The Daily Herald front-pages an editorial demanding that the girl be found, saying until then "unhealthy rumors and specu- lations are bound to continue. An uneasy feeling may persist anxious to cover up significant facts." It demands that Parliament order an intensive search. The tabloid Daily Sketch, also in a front page editorial, says the spectacle of a cabinet min- ister having to explain his ac- quaintanceship with a girl "'who should have given evidence in a shooting case against a col- ored man with a conviction for living on the earnings of pros titution is, to say the least, un- edifying." The Manchester Guardian says Profumo's' statement should silence "'the ugly stories that have been going around." Profumo said he and Miss Keeler were on friendly terms but there was no impropriety in their relationship, His wife, ac- tress Valerie Hobson, listened from the gallery as he spoke.

Need For To Rise In 1970's BRUSSELS (Reuters)--A re- port drawn up by the Euratom (European Atomic Energy Com- munity) supply agency's consul- tative committee on long-term natural uranium supplies in the Western World and the Europ- ean community emphasizes that natural uranium needs will rise sharply after 1970. The report, which is being studied by Euratom's executive commission, says that in 1970 industrial production of nuclear energy will begin and that an increase in prices. must be ex- pected. To meet this situation, the re- port suggests that Euratom should begin to invest in those mines which are a present idle because of over-production. Al- ternatively, it could start build- ing up stocks at prices of about $4 to $5 a pound of oxygen con- tent. Other measures proposed are Prospecting by community en- terprises for new deposits either in Europe or in other areas of the world, and the rapid devel- opment of breeder reactors whose main characteristic is that they produce more fuel than they consume. ' The reports says reserves of uranium metal on Jan. 1, 1962, were estimated at 585,000 tons for the Western World as a whole. CANADA HAS RESERVES These reserves, which could be exploited at a cost of about $8 to $10 a pound of oxygen content aré mainly in South Af- Tica (250,000 tons), Canada (145,000 tons), and the United States (130,000 tons). The Western World's reserves on Jan. 1, 1970, are expected to be in the region of 440,000 tons of uranium metal. The report estimates that 106,000 electric megawatts of nuclear power will be installed in the Western World between 1970 and -1980. Of this total about 30,000 megawatts would CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1138 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 Uranium be installed in the European community. During this period annual de- mand for natural uranium is ex- pected to go up from about 10,- 000 tons in 1970 to between 35,- 000 and 50,000 tons in 1980. This would mean a total consumption in the Western World for the 10-year period of between 180,- 000 and: 250,000 tons. The report says reserves in 1970 will only represent about 15' years consumption. It also points out that for the period under study Europe will ac- count for about half the toal of the free world's needs and that these will have to be met en- that somebody, somewhere, is| : | ette Beauchamp, McNamara Wept At Senate Probe This is the Eastview home where two children suffocated Friday when a minor fire broke out in an upstairs room.

Seven Killed In Three-Car Crash ADDISON, N.Y. (AP)--Seven persons, including four mem- bers of one family, were killed Friday night in the collision of three automobiles on Route 17 just east of this village in south- central New York.

The gasoline tank on the first car exploded, and the vehicle was engulfed in flames, The car lane TORONTO (CP) -- A new Democratic Party member of the legislature said Friday the Ontario government's proposed new portable pension plan would benefit no more than 50 to 60 per cent of Ontario work- ers.

Oxford Upsets Cambridge In Boat Race LONDON (Reuters) -- Under- dog Oxford today upset Cam- bridge in the 109th annual boat race, the traditional battle be- tween the universities' two eight oared crews over a 4%4-mile course on the Thames. The Oxford crew defeated the light blues easily by five lengths. Cambridge, 2-to-3 favorites, got off to an early lead, but the dark blues overtook their rivals ickly and won in 20 minutes, 7 Lit outside _ the record. ! Oxford, inspired by the strok- ing of American Duncan Spen- cer, took the lead before the halfway mark. Oxford won the toss, which allowed it to choose the favored side of the river for the start. The dark blues clung to Cam- bridge for the first mile and then took the lead, rowing mag- nificently and extending their margin with ease. The brisk northeastery wind which blew across the winding course was what Ox- ford had wanted, but the water was never really rough, and ex- perts beforehand thought Cam- bridge would be able to pull off its third straight victory. The Oxford crew finished the race looking comparatively fresh after battling rough water and strong winds, but Cam- bridge men slumped over their oars in exhaustion. Oxford now has won the race 48 times. Cambridge has won 60 times and one race was a dead heat. Cambridge, stroked by Lord Chewton, got off to a good start and led by a length after the first mile. But Oxford, banking heavily on the experience of The $24,000,000 contract cov- three occupants died. stroke Spencer, a former Yale oarsman, held on. DIEF DISMISSES SOCRED HOOK-UP By THE CANADIAN PRESS Political leaders criss- crossed each other's trail on the campaign this week with only one issue -- the possibility of minority governmen* and coal- ition -- common to their speeches. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Social Credit Leader Thompson and New Democratic Leader Douglas all went on record on this matter as they each toured three provinces. Liberal Leader Pearson, visiting five provinces, maintained that only his Liber- als can win a majority of seats in the April 8 election. During the week the Liberals also turned their backs on off- beat campaigning with ayan- donment of the truth squad which had followed the prime minister around briefly. At a meeting in Montreal, party Strategists say they resolved to sep up the Pearson campaign wih harder - hitting speeches instead of the previous soft-sell. Hecklers also made more fre- quent appearances at meetings, peppering the prime minister campaigning on, the Prairies and Mr. Pearson in the Atlan- tic provinces. DISMISSES LINK-UP missed the possibility of coali- tion with Social Credit, The Conservatives were campaign- ing for a majority, "'untinged in any way, without any pos- sible suggestion of any rela- tionship of that kind." He hit at the Liberals, ac- cusing them of inspiring an un- flattering article about him in Newsweek magazine and sug- gesting that Liberal questions about his mental health shouldn't be raised by a party "that produces funny books and awkward squads." Mr. Pearson, whose week'? encompassed Quebec and the four Atlantic provinces, con- tinued his theme that only the Liberals have a chance of form- ing a majority government. -At the same time, he began using tougher words about his. op- ponents--Mr. Diefenbaker was "betraying" defence obligations and conservative speakers "twisting the eagle's tail feah- ers" in anti-American speeches. CHARGES 'DECEIT' He said Mr. Diefenbaker. is adopting "manufactured mar- tyrdom" by saying " 'Vote for me, vote for my party because everybody's against me.'"

SUGGESTS SEAWAY He suggested a $3,000,000,000 prairie seaway from the Rockies to Hudson bay. Both he and deputy leader Real Caouette hitback at criticism of Social Credit doctrine by such speakers as Eric Kierans, president of the Montreal and Canadian stock exchanges, as being slanderous and misin- formed. Dr. Douglas, campaigning in Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, said in a re- corded television interview that deceit and Mr. Diefenbaker of} New Democrats would support a minority Liberal or Conser- ing during the week in Ontario,|"a travesty of the fruth un-|vative government if action was Alberta and Saskatchewan, dis-lworthy of any Canadian leader" |taken to get the economy rol-jhim » ounts / ling. But he .could see no pos- sibility of coalition. On the hustings, he called for greater federal financial aid for universities and university edu- catio, forecast an estrange- ment between western farmers and the conservative party and reiterated his appeals that he elecorate reject nuclear weap- gram for economic recovery. ENDORSES LIBERALS The week's campaigning also produced these events: Liberal Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec publicly endorsed the Liberals as the only party that would ensure stable govern- ment, asking Quebecers for the first time in the campaign to vote Liberal. Former defence minister Harkness denied at a Toronto press conference Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker's charge that Bomare anti-aircraft missiles are obsolete. Communist national leader Leslie Morris said in a York- ton, Sask., interview his. party realizes it won't elect any of its 13 candidates. They were en- tered to "get our message across." Neil Carmichael, Social Credit candidate in Toronto St. Paut's, said he is the victim of NDP Member Attacks Tory Pension Scheme Mr. Bryden was echoing an earlier statement by Ray Ed- wards (L -- Wentworth), who said all employees should be covered. Firms with less than 15 workers should be prevented) from gaining a possible com-| petitive advantage over others with only slightly more employ- ees, he said. But the proposed scheme has the Liberal party's approval in general principle, said Mr. Ed- wards. CRITICIZES SCALE Mr. Bryden said the min- imum scale of benefits under the standard plan would mean employees eaming $400 or more a month for 40 years might re- tire with a maximum compul- sory pension of $80 a month. He said he would almost call the government's legislation a guarantee of trivial pensions, and for not much more than a majority of the workers in this province. The NDP financial critic called for a public universal contributory pension scheme, available to all company em- Pjoyees and the self-employed. He also said all benefits of- fered by an employer are a form of salary, and benefits un- der both standard and supple- fe ae bree "should accrue to the ployee 100 per cent." He called for 100 per cent vesting to the employee. of rights to both his own and-his employer's contributions to a plan. HITS LIQUOR LICENCE And later, a Progressive Con- servative backbencher criticized the granting of two liquor lic- ences in Toronto and suggested the province budget money to solve the problem of alcoholism, Rev. A. W. Downer (PC -- Dufferin-Simcoe), a member of the Liquor Control Board of On- tario, said Maple Leaf Gardens should not have been granted a licence since the Gardens is a school for young hockey players.

An official spokesman said "a large number of soldiers and civilians" are being questioned about what. the government charges was a plot to assassin- ate strongman Gen. Chung Hee Park and overthrow his re- gime. The announcement came at a time when civilian politicians are steadily increasing de- mands for an immediate end to military rule.

Among those killed in the fighting in western Cuba, the announcement said, was Juan Jose Catala Costa, identified as the U.S, Central Ingelligence Agency's rebel chief area. Two other rebel leaders, Luis Leon and Eulogio Garcia a Jewish plot to ciara Mirabal, also were killed in fighting with the army and se- curity police units, the notice on Temperance St. should not have been granted a licence since the man who deeded the street to the city had asked that there be no liquor outlets on it. js Mr. Downer said during the budget debate that tax money paid for punitive and custodial treatment of alcoholics '"'contrib- uted not one dime toward the so- lution of the alcohol problem." He said the 1,600 "problem drinkers" in the province, out of 80,000 alcoholics,--compared to 1,228 tuberculosis patients-- are "victims of an illness that requires medical, psychiatric and social help." This "unsolved public health problem" is a provincial respon- sibility, he said, calling for a public awareness of the prob- lems of alcoholism. CHINESE BOLSTE TROOPS IN TIBE ¥ Nehru Warns House Of More Aggression -- NEW DELHI (Reuters) -- Prime Minister Nehru told Par- liament today Communist China has 'moved fresh troops into Ti- bet and said other evidence in- dicates the Chinese might be contemplating "further aggres- sive action" against India. Nehru said the government had "'received reliable informa- tion of additional induction of troops into Tibet, of projects of further road constructicn along our. borders, and of the requisi- tion of Tibetan villagers, pack animals and so forth by the Chi- nese armed forces in Tibetan areas to the north of our bor- der." The prime minister said al- though the Chinese withdrew 124% miles from what they called the line of actual control in the frontier area after the winter fighting, "their concen- tion beyond this narrow strip continues unchanged." In the last two weeks, Nehru said India received several DEATH TOLL MOUNTS DENPASAR, Bali (AP) -- An urgent request for rice and heli- lcopters went out from this capi- tal fodey fin desperate effort to save ing villagers iso- lated bya five-day deluge of lava. The death toll from the erup- tion of sacred Agung volcano stood at 1,264. The governor of Bali said he expected it to rise to at least 1,500, since many persons are mising and feared dead. More than 5,000 persons were reported isolated without food in the town of Karangasem, south- east of the smoldering volcano that had been listed in tourist books as inactive. Helicopters were requested from military authorities in east Java to ferry out people stranded in pockets surrounded by hot laval streams.

Ome case was uncovered Friday in New York and nearly 200 Americans were believed to have been exposed to the dis- ease. An outbreak of typhoid in the village of Zermatt, Switzerland, resulted in at least 30 cases there and eight Britons carried the intestinal infection back to their homeland from the resort. However, the New York case was the first in the U.S. to be traced to the Swiss outbreak.. It involved a 24-year-old married woman, unnamed, who left the U.S, Feb. 14 to vacation at the Chamois Ski Club in Zermatt. She became ill March 4 and returned to the U.S. Marcr 11 on a plane with 130 other Amer- icans, 100 of them from New York City. Health authorities here set out to reach all the New York passengers and fed- eral health authorities were fol- lowing up on the others. In Buffalo, N.Y., public health officials were keeping close watch on some 50 western New York skiers who visited Zermatt and were flown back earlier this week to Niagara Falls, in the! N.Y. Tests on these exposed were expected to take there to five days. Adding urgency to the track- down was the fact that typhoid can be spread by carriers who said, do not themselves become ill. * Actress Joan Crawford, shown with her 16-year-old daughter, Cindy, last night said in Philadelphia there is nothing to a report that she plans to marry New York Gov.
