The 1954 Geneva Con- ference divided Viet Nam at the 17th Parallel. "U.S, imperialism,' says the official Peking People's Daily, "argued that its raids against the Democratic Republic of (North) Viet Nam were limited south of the 19th Parallel" and thus were "aimed neither at China nor at the destruction of the Hanoi re- gime."

Mr. Wagner said the signature on the-letter was Rivard's and today. The letter apologized for the trouble caused by the escape of Rivard and the prisoner who ac- companied him over the wall, Andre Durocher.

Earlier today, ROMP Commis- sioner George B, McClellan tes- tified he would have been sur- prised if Prime Minister Pear- son had advised Liberal M PGuy Rouleau that he was going to be questioned by the RCMP in| the Rivard affair. He said he had not told his chief deputy, J. R. Lemieux, that the prime minister had ad- vised Mr. Rouleau, his then par- liamentary secretary. He didn't and couldn't know this. However, it was "highly likely"' that he had told Deputy Commissioner Lemieux that Justice Minister Favreau had advised Mr. Pearson that Mr. Rouleau would be interrogated. This: was his impression. Deputy Commissioner Le- mieux had testified earlier that he had the impression from the commissioner that Mr. Pearson had tipped off Mr. Rouleau.

In it Mr. Dinsdale made representations for Buddy Leeds, charged with forgery.
