China today called the U.S. air strike against North Viet Nam an "extremely serious provoc- ation" but the first reaction from the Soviet Union was re- strained. The Chinese statement, car- ried by the official New China ; |news agency, said: "This was an extremely seri- ous provocation by U.S. impe- rialism to extend the war to the Democratic Republic of (North) Viet Nam once again in defi- ance of world condemnation in an effort to avert total defeat in South Viet Nam."

Brig.-Gen. Nguyen Cao Ky, flying the lead Vietnamese plane, was hit in the arm by shrapnel. He said anti-aircraft fire was heavy over the target areas.

RUSSIA PROMISES AID Pravda, the only newspaper to appear in Moscow this morn- ing, carried news of the raid in two brief items on page three. It also withheld publication of Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin's renewed promise to help North Viet Nam. Kosygin made it in a speech in Hanoi Sunday seven hours before the U.S. raid. Kosygin told a rally in Ha- noi: "We firmly state that the So- viet Union could not remain in- different to the fate of the fra- ternal socialist country and is ready to render the necessary assistance to the Democratic Re- public of Viet Nam if aggres- sors dare to encroach on its in- dependence and sovereignty."

The report gave no de- tails. U.S. Copters Back At Base SAIGON (Reuters) -- United States Army helicopters which evacuated Soc Trang air base 100 miles south of Saigon Sun- day night in the face of a Viet Cong mortar attack returned to base at dawn today. The heiicopters, at least 28 of them, hastily took off when the first shells landed on the north- ern end of the runway. : Pilots at Soc Trang operations room, U.S. helicopter centre for the Mekong Delta, said the Communists fired 15 shells but caused no damage or ca- sualties. A transport plane lit up the base with flares Sunday night to pinpoint the Viet Cong mortar positions for four rocket-armed helicopters hovering over the field. But the guerrillas melted away into thick brush surround- ing the base. , 4 When the four Oshawa Yadies, who will represent this area in the Ontario Sil- ver "D" curling champion- ships, arrived at Toronto International Airport on Sunday, they were pleasant- ly surprised to see a group of eleven of their fellow- '\curling enthusiasts, on hand ROOTERS HEAD FOR PORT but the surprise was much "greater when they learned that it wasn't just a "Good Luck", send-off, but in- stead, the whole group was also headed for Port Ar- thur, to lend their enthu- sistic support to the Oshawa rink.

'TI trust Mr.. Diefenbaker will have no objection to the exami- nation of the complete figures and the voting slips on which they are based," Mr. Balcer said, He made the statement after party president Dalton K: Camp, in a brief press release from party headquarters, said: "As a result of the advice sought from the national execu- tive of the Progressive Consery- ative Party of Canada at yes- terday's .(Saturday's) meeting, the proposal that that body rec- commend that a national lead- ership convention be called has been rejected." Informants said the question- naires, filled out by the 116 members of the executive who were present, were analysed by three men--Mr. Camp, national secretary Kenneth Binks and national director Richard Thrasher, BIG MAJORITY NEEDED Mr. Camp had told reporters Saturday that in his view a sub- stantial majority in favor of a convention would be required to warrant calling one, and that the results would not be an- nounced. Mr. Balcer did not elaborate on his statement, but inform- ants said the secrecy surround- ing the results indicated a grow- ing demand within the party for a leadership convention. One high party authority esti- mated that fewer than five votes separated those who op- Man, 36, Dies After Crash LISTOWEL, Ont. (CP)--Ken- neth Brown, 36, of Waterloo died in hospital Sunday shortly after his car collided with a mail truck on Highway 36 in a heavy snow storm about eight miles west of here. Police said Brown's car plunged 15 feet into a ditch and struck a tree. The driver of the truck, George Arthur Hudson, 21, of Guelph, was not injured. Listowel is about 30 miles northwest of Waterloo. A MR. DIEFENBAKER posed a convention and those who favored one. Some estimates of the result appeared based on a standing vote at the closed meeting on whether the executive should express confidence or no-confi- dence in Mr. Diefenbaker. Informants said a question proposed by the principal offi- cers on whether delegates fa- vored or opposed asking Mr. Diefenbaker to resign was re- jected by a 55 to 53 vote. After Mr. Diefenbaker and others objected to including the confidence motion in the ques- tionnaire, the officers withdrew from the meeting to consider the objections raised. The Op- position Leader had argued that the executive had no business expressing confidence or other- wise when the leader had been elected by the national associa- tion. Job Security Pact Signed WASHINGTON (AP)--A job security agreement cov ering 300,000 non - operating railway employees was signed Sunday night to end -what a federal mediation official called "the last major threat" to labor peace for U.S, railroads. Francis A, O'Neill Jr. termed the attrition - type pact '"'the most outstanding agreement signed in my 18 years as a : member of the mediation); board." The agreement provides, with some exceptions, that employ- ees represented by the five unions involved will not be laid off. Railroads agreed any fu- ture job cuts will be made by not filling vacancies created by retirements, deaths or dis- charges for cause. No money demand was in- volved in this dispute, which has beer in mediation since May 31, 1963. THE TIMES today...

The delegates then answered three questions--whether they favored a. leadership conven- tion, whether a national policy should be _ estab- lished, and whether Mr. Diefen- baker should attend the flag- raising neremony Feb; 15. Mr. Diefenbaker,. who led most of his party in opposing adoption of a maple leaf flag without English and French symbols, had asked that: the flag question be included to give him guidance. Mr. Diefenbaker emerged from the meeting smiling and made it clear he planned to re- main at the head. of. the: party. He said there had been no vote on his leadership. "There wouldn't be," he said. "The leadership is determined by national convention, and that was determined in 1956 and rat- ified several times since." Asked whether the meeting would result in any. change in his policies, the former prime minister said a person's prin- ciples were a matter of con- science.
