Within hours of a mecting of 1,500 SIU members at Montreal, the union's headquarters, sea- men at Toronto and Thorold, Ont., had voted agreement with them and seamen's meetings at other Canadian ports were ex- pected to do the same twday. The terms, Mr, Banks assured SIU members, are that the sea- men resume work provided the trustees do not interfere with SIU internal affairs; that SIU officers and the constitution are not changed; that the trustees not occupy the SIU neadquar- with the trustees.

Trustees Allow Banks To Remain In Office OTTAWA (CP) -- Labor Minister MacEachen said to- day he has no knowledge of any commitment to Hal C. Banks that he and his fel- low officers will be allowed to remain in control of the Seafarers' International Un- ion. OTTAWA (CP)--The "urgent task"' of the new federal marine union trusteeship seemed aschieved today as about 2,000 Canadian seamen moved back to strikebound ships. But the second objective of "close internal study of the Sea- farers' International Union of Canada and other unions' is just beginning, the three fed- eral trustees indicated Thurs- day night, This scrutiny will cover fi- nincial conduct, election of of-|: ficials, and observance of the union constitutions plus other items which the Norris shipping inquiry report raised in its harsh indictment of the SIU and its president, Hal C. Banks of Montreal. The investigation may "lead ts to a number of conclusions," said the trusteeship chairman, Mr. Justice Victor L. Dryer, in one of his numerous guarded replies at a hard-hitting press conference Thursday night. Beseiged with queries about the trusteeship's mext moves, he exercised extreme caution. Elected officers of the five trustee-held unions, including the controversial Mr. Banks, will remain in office to handle routine administration "until we decide otherwise," the Van- couver judge said. The three-man 'trusteeship was not giving orders for the oment but "'we have potential control." The trusteeship's terms of reference, he emphasized, are laid out by Parliament. The act provides fines of up HELP -- The Chest CLIMB 261,800 250,000 225,000 200,000 175,000 150,000 125,000 to $10,000 plus jail sentences for persons--employers, unions or sailors--who obstruct the trusteeship. Mr. Justice Dryer said the trustees' "urgent task" was to get striking SIU men back on ships and to that end the trus- tees had interviewed leaders of the five unions Thursday after- noon. - Mr. Banks himself had "promised to co-operate . . and we believe he will, We also believe it will bear fruit very shortly." Within minutes, reports came from Montreal, Toronto, Fort William and Thorold, Ont., that seamen had voted to go back to the ships. : SIU members in Montreal q oted .Mr. Banks as saying that assurances were given in writing by the trustees that the SIU would not be raided for membership by the other four unions nor would its headquar- ters be occupied, Similar votes were' expected from other Ontario and Quebec locals and from the Maritimes. The west coast had not been affected. full day of the. fledgling trus- teeship's existence, Labor Minister MacEachen limited his comment. on the back-to-work vote to the state- ment that he was pleased. Return of seamen, if extended to other ports, would end a_pos- sibility of 28 Great Lakes ship- ping companies moving to re- cruit seamen through the Na- tional Employment Service. WILL INVESTIGATE Mr. Justice Dryer's state- ments to press conference ques- tions--careful as they were--in- dicated that the trusteeship will move promptly but methodi- cally into.a detailed investiga- tion of the SIU and other ma- rine unions. But reporters prodding for confirmation of suggestions that the trustees would use their powers for immediate union control went away disappointed. The trusteeship headquarters will move to Montreal where the SIU also has its headquar- ters--possibly today, Mr. Jus- tice Dryer said. : Canadian Chiropractors Feud With AMA WASHINGTON (CP) -- The American Medical Association was accused today by Canadian chiropractors of using a na- tional congress. on medical quackery as a spring-board for attacks against chiropractic. The congress, which held hearings here in 1961, begins a second 'two-day meeting today. In a brief to Health Minister Anthony J. Celebrezze -- copies of which went to Health Minis ter Judy LaMarsh of Canada and Dr. C. A. Morrell, director of the Canadian Food and Drug Directorates--the Canadian Chi- ropractic Association said it strongly endorses efforts "to re- move quackery from the health field, wherever it may be This result came in the first found."" s Drill Miners .. Narrow shafts were being drilled in an effort to locate the men. Four drills were at work, and officials planned to enlarge' them if the missing miners were located and bring up the men. The seven men located today were 75 feet underground. It is planned to widen the shaft un- til it will take a rescue basket in which the men can be hauled to safety. DOWN 130 FEET A statement by the mine own- ers said some of the men were believed trapped as deep as 130 feet. Drilling to that level "will take some hours," it said Meanwhile, the water level 'n the 330-foot-deep shaft has risen to the 200-foot level. A stream of heavy trucks was driving up to the pithead with loads of dirt, dumping it into the 65-foot deep crater on the edge of the reservoir where water broke into the mine. Rescue workers were trying to block the hole and prevent more water from pouring in. They calculated that 4,000,000 gallons already have surged into the shaft. About 79 miners escaped from the pit by racing the flood wa- tets to the elevator shaft or slipping through connecting tun. nels into a neighboring unused mine, OAKVILLE (CP) -- Produc- tion at the giant Ford of Can- jada plant has been crippled by a wildcat walkout for the sec- ond time in two weeks during peak production of 1964 models.

When three photographers showed up Thursday night, two more chased off and a third was surrounded by angry pick- ets. Police arrived on the scene and the photographer was forced to give them his film, with the understanding it would not be published, before he was freed, Ron Lisson, Ford's 'industrial relations manager here, said eee ee the Pp were down because the earlier walk- out violated a contract now in force between the union and the company. He described the. first walk- out as "completely unnecessary because the collective agree- ment provides for orderly pro- cedure by which grievances may be resolved or in the last resort taken to arbitration." The company had sent 'et- ters to all employees last May warning that such disciplinary action might follow illegal work stoppages. long-standing work regulations and other vances, company officials in 90 of them for questioning, Thursday {t announced that 20 of the men will be suspended for days, beginning 'Local 707 of the United Auto Workers (CLC), said he pleaded vainly for the men to return to work and was helpless now to end the unauthorized walkout.

Douglas-Home, 60, is the only prime minister of modern times to be short of a place in either Commons or Lords. To remedy this deficiency he is seeking Commons membership for the Highten4 district of Kinross and West Perth. His campaign headquarters-- and temporary seat of govern- ment--will be the Perthshire home of his friend Andrew Drummond-Moray.

Ou El Hadj's veteran guer- rillas, many of whom fought against the French, took to the mountains two weeks ago after government troops occupied several of their strongholds. From their hideouts they have waged a hit-and-run terrorist campaign against governmert forces. They ambushed and killed at least six men in the last 10 days and constituted the biggest internal threat to Ben Bella's rule. The Algerian government said a powerful Algerian offensive last Tuegday in the Hassi Beida area, about 900 miles southwest of Algiers, took the Moroccan troops by surprise and forced them to retreat with heavy losses. The Algerian announcement said that by Thursday morning the Moroccans had withdrawn 11 miles from their oroginal ad- vance. positions, Home Ready To Fight For Seat paign. That calls for some 70 speeches in village squares and schoolrooms before polling day Nov. 7. His opponents are more nu- merous than hopeful. They are a Labor candidate, Liberal, In- dependent Conservative, Scot- tish Nationalist, plus William Rushton, a plump television performer who made his name with a devastating impersona- tion of Douglas-Home's stricken predecessor, Harold Macmillan. Rushton says he's in it to ex- pose the backstairs method by which Douglas-Home was ap- pointed: premier over the rival claims of Richard A, Butler, now foreign secretary. It will of course expose a lot of Rush- ton, too. At the 1959 general election, the Conservative candidate polled 16,256 votes against 4,008 for the Laborite, the only other candidate. The prime minister therefore looks to be a racing certainty.

The first tremor lasted sev- eral seconds and was felt just before 6 a.m. (1 a.m. EDT). Police stations were flooded with phone calls from fright- ened people saying they were awakened when their houses shook. : "One or two people have said their ceilings have collapsed, but we have not been able to confirm it," a police spokesman said. According to some people the tremors followed a loud explo- sion at sea. Admiralty spokes- men at Portsmouth, however, said there were no ships in the area which could have caused such an explosion. _ Police said 'an earth tremor is the most likely solution." Local meteorologists said there apparently was an earth tremor, but their instruments were not sensitive enough to re- cord it.
