Informed sources said Ben Bella was prepared to drop charges in the Kabylia rebellion led by Col. Mohand Ou El Hadj and Hocine Ait Abmed provided they agreed to settle the crisis within a congress of the ruling National Liberation Front. But Ait Ahmed, head of the rebel Socialist Forces Front, told newspaper men the party rejected Ben Bella's offer to ne- gotiate within the structure of the National Liberation Front, the only party permitted by the constitution.

The president made the offer to drop charges at a 34-hour meeting Sunday with four Kaby- lia region deputies who called last week for a solution of the crisis without violence. In an interview in today's edition of the pro-Communist Paris newspaper Liberation, Ben Bella said he had 10 in- tention on negotiating with Ait Ahmed who had "exposed him- self as an adventurer. (Ben Bella was quoted as say- ing: '"'We cannot allow a part of the national territory to evade the authority of the central gov- ernment.") Col. El Hadj reaffirmed that his government was dedicated to destroying the system of gov- ernment set up by Ben Bella. El Hadj, a onetime jeweler, addressd a cheering crowd of about 2,000 in a smali village in the Kabylia mountains Sun- day.

(CP) -- An unofficial union offer and a hastily - arranged union - man- agement meeting today may end the 4% - month Hanover Kitchens (Canada) Limited strike here. Company general manager A: E, Starke said Sunday night an offer made by Geoffrey Hall, regional representative of the International Woodworkers of America (CLC) may have re- duced the. "area of disagree- ment" between the company and its 65 striking employees. The IWA represents the men who walked out May 21 in a contract dispute. Of 22 demands presented, the company accepted 11, turning down those which included clauses making the plant a closed shop with dues checkoff. Mr. Starke said Mr. Hall's statement, which he would not recognize as an offer because the parties are not negotiating, indicated that the union would drop some demands. Mr. Starke said the meeting Diem Claims Buddhist Problem Now Settled SAIGON (Reuters) -- Presi- dent Ngo Dinh Diem said y South Viet Nam's Buddhist prob- lem has been settled and the Viet Cong Communists are fac- ing inescapable defeat. In a speech prepared for the opening session of .the newly- elected National Assembly, the president said he regrets that the Buddhist problem is being debated in the United Nations. Diem reported a budget deficit of $129,000,000, which he attri- buted to lower receipts due to reduction of United States aid. The pro-government English- Janguage Times of Viet Nam says in an editorial today that U.S. aid has been suspended since Sept. 16, putting pressure on the Diem government. American officials said the U.S. government is reviewing its aid program and in the meantime has refused to fi- nance further imports in certain categories pending appropria- tions for the current U.S. fiscal year. CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS Diem, addressing the coun- try's third National Assembly, said the Viet Cong had created the "Buddhist affairs" in a last attempt to achieve victuryg. The president said the govern- ment regretted seeing that some nations under '"'intoxica- tion" by false information on Viet Nam's internal s'tuation and the Buddhist question, had obtained inclusion on the UN agenda of a problem already settled. (The UN General Assembly in New York is due to debate today a charge that the Viét Nam government is seriously violating human rights -in_re- pressing Buddhists. Sixteen countries, led by Ceylon, are be- hind the move for UN action.) USE SAME TACTICS In the military field, Diem re- ported that government forces now are using guerrilla tactics, forcing the Viet Cong to fight a counter-guerrilla war. From January, 1962, to July 1963, the government lost 124 dead, while killing 6,362 Com- munists, he said. He said more than 10,000 Com- munist sympathizers had turned POLICE 725-1133 bend FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 themselves in since the govern- nt's Open arms policy was in- ited last April. iem said more than 8,000 tegic hamlets, out of a tar- have been built, sheltering more than 10,000,000 of the country's 15,000,000 population. He said the target number should be completed by the end of the year. FOLLOWS ._ BURNING Diem's speech followed an- other Buddhist "protest" inci- dent Saturday when a young Buddhist monk burned himself to death just outside the market here. The pro-government Times of Viet Nam accused foreign news- paper men in South Viet Nam of "stage-managing" the fiery suicide. The newspaper made the charge as eight American con- gressmen arrived here to get a firsthand view of the conflict be- tween South Viet Nam's Bud- dhist majority and the govern- ment of Roman Catholic Presi- dent Diem. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge delivered a sharp protest to the Diem government against the beating of three American newspaper men.

And we want to find a way to pre- vent more violence, to end the possibility of someone getting killed." Pickets were banned early in the strike by a court injunction, but, restraint in this strongly-un- ionized town collapsed a week ago with rock-throwing _inci- cents, Skirmishes became more fre- quent and violent and 50 pro- vincial police were called in to help the local four-man force. Friday, the union called out its 700 members, employees of five major furniture factories, to a mass rally at the town hall. A responsive, cheering mob roundly applauded every union denunciation of the Hanover Kitchens Company and were prepared to stage another dem- onstration in working hours to- day if the situation had not im- proved. In an attempt to force the is- sué at Friday's rally, Hall urged a boycott o! the town's merchants and businessmen to apply pressure on them to ap- proach Hanover Kitchens' man- agement and appeal for a set- tlement, Mayor Mrs. William Bueglas, whose furniture-worker husband is an IWA member, said coun- cil will hold a strike meeting tonight in an effort to bring a end to the strike. $1,000 REWARD IF GIRL FOUND BOWMANVILLE (Staff) Twenty-three days ago, Nor- een Ann Greenley, 13, dis- appeared. Searches of the area by hundreds of volunteers fail- ed to turn up a trace of the girl who was last seen hea- ing for a bus from Bow- manville to her home in Maple Grove. Mr. and Mrs. 'Harvey J. Greenley have had no word about Noreen's where. abouts. Rumors that the girl was seen working in Toronto have been relayed to them. Mr. Greenley offers the only reward for his daugh- ter's return -- $1000. ' Anyone who can 'give in- formation that will lead to the return of Noreen to her home is asked to call the Whitby Town Police, 623- 3323, or the Ontario Provin- cial Police, 623-3384, The longshoremen were ex- pected to present a new set of contract proposals. The ILA's' members voted Sunday to give their executives full power to settle the strike, without further consulting mem- bers, on the basis of the new demands, Nearly 2,006 longshoremen at- tended the general meeting in Montreal to discuss the media- tion talks. The vote marked a deep change in the members' posi- tion, and ended an element of uncertainty that has plagued the ILA negotiations with the Ship- ping Federation of Canada. In March, the union execu- tives came to an agreement with the federation but the members voted to reject it and stuck to their original demands. In September, the members re- jected a conciliation board rec- ommendation with which the union's own representative * ihe board agreed, and' agai _ |stuck to original demands. STARTED FRIDAY The 3,800 ILA members struck Friday at Montreal, Quebec City, Trois-Rivieres, and Sorel, and effectively shut off trade in the St. Lawrence River just at the beginning of the regular autumn boom period--a boom magnified this year by the scheduled shipment of 60,000,000 bushels of wheat and flour to Russia through the ports, Phil Cutler, union lawyer, de- clined Sunday to reveal the na- ture of the new proposals. He said he thought Judge Rene Lippe, the federally - appointed mediator, should be told first. In approving the new de- mands, the union members re- 'Tused a basis of settlement put forward by Judge Lippe, a Montreal magistrate with ex- labor troubles, Mr. Cutler said the new de- Action Urged To Ease Off Tax Burden QUEBEC (CP) -- Immediate action must be taken to ease the burden of taxation before it destroys opportunities for busi- ness growth, Victor Oland of Halifax, president of the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce, said today, Describing taxation is a great and growing problem, he told the chamber's annual meeting that the federal, provincial and municipal governments 'have imposed taxes of every conceiv- able kind." If taxes continued to rise at the same rate as in recent years, "a disproportionate share of the national product will be siphoned off into government channels to the detriment of the private sector." Text of his remarks were given to the press before deliv- ery. Making the keynote address to the four-day meeting which got down to business today af- ter a formal opening Sunday night, Mr. Oland said the trend of government expenditures in Canada "has shown an almost- amazing upward trend in the post-war years." "Per capita taxes, as a per cent of national income, have nearly doublea in little more than 30 years and expenditures have more than doubled. "The chamber believes that the rising level of government expenditures in Canada, which is outstripping the rate of in- crease of national income and national products substantially, jstones and other missiles with |strikers on the docks in Que- mands are "far from our ori- ginal demands" and are "quite different" from other proposals so far. He had predictec Friday that Judge Lippe's proposals which he termed as based too much on dollars and cents and not enough on fringe benefits like working conditions, vacation, retirement, and medical plans, would be rejected. Some sources indicated the new union proposals would scale down wage demands, but empha size increased welfare and other fringe benefits. The strike, which some au- thorities estimate is costing $2,- 000,000 a day, has been peace- ful enough in Sorel and Trois- Rivieres but has led to violence in Quebec City and some skirm- ishing in Montreal, Crew-members of the passen- ger liner Carmania traded bec City Friday night, and one Carmania crew member was shot in the thigh. The ship left for Southampton and Le Havre with three bullet holes in her side. Saturday in Montreal, long- shoremen swarmed over barri- cades put up by harbor police and convinced members of an independent union to quit load- ing the Irish Rose, a freighter bound for Newfoundland. ILA pickets held up a truck briefly as ttied to enter' the harbor, but |there were no injuries in either incident. The longshoremmen have been working without a contract since the beginning of the year. They originally asked for an hourly wage increase of 35 cents an hour spread out over a two- year contract, plus 10 cents in fringe benefits. The March agreement, re- jected by members, called for a 12-cent increase over two years and four cents in fringe benefits, REAL CAOQUE' Caouette Seeks Recognition -- Or Election' CHICOUTIMI, Que. (CP)-- Real Caouette says Parliament must recognize his 13-member Railliement des Credistes as the third opposition party in the House of Commons or there will be a new federal general elec- tion, Mr. Caouette made his state- ment at a Credistes rally late Sunday night in this industrial centre 110 miles north of Quebec City. He reiterated his plans to throw up a legislative blockade in the Commons until his de- mands are met. The demands arose from the August split in the Social Credit party.

The Creditiste challenge cen- tred Monday on a government measure seeking parliamentary | authority to pay October and November expenses. In reply to the Creditiste blockade of the measure, the government gave notice that it will ask the Commons to sus- pend rules governing the ad- journment hour, raising the prospect of round-the-clock sit- tings. The: Creditiste blockade was imposed last Thursday night and Creditiste Leader Caouette announced Friday it applies to all government legislation until his group's demands for recog- nition and precedence as the third-ranking opposition group are met. Sitting round - the - clock wouldn't be new for the Com- mons. In 1913, during debate on the Conservative government's naval aid bill, the House sat for two weeks without interrup- tion. In Chicoutimi, Que., Mr, Ca- ouette said that before the gov- ernment begins 24-hour sittings it should 'sit normally and rec- ognize Le Ralliement."

Macmillan met with the Earl of Home, his foreign secretary and trusted friend, Sunday and much of their discussion was be- lieved centred on a pamphlet is- sued by the right-wing Monday Club. The pamphlet said a reapprai- sal of Britain's leadership was needed and that "this will not happen until new leaders emerge to dispel the existing lethargy." It added that "disillusionment with our leaders tends to 3tifle business ambition and, at 'the the chancellor of the exchequer, did not mean the club was officially backing him. 'Mac Must Go' Felt Some political observers felt the pamphlet singled out Treas- ury Chief Reginald Maudling, 46, as the most likely successor to Macmillan. But Monday Club sources sai references to Maudling, Club sources said the major- ty of members would prefer Viscount Hailsham, 55, for the succession.
