(AP)-- The 2nd court of civil appeals affirmed Friday a $500,000 judg- ment won by former Maj.-Gen. Edwin A. Walker in a libel suit against The Associated Press. The court rejected Walker's cross appeal for an additional $300,000 punitive damages on grounds of malice. Walker won an $800,000 judg- ment from a jury in 17th dis- trict court June 19, 1964, grow- ing out of the AP's account of Walker's activities during the riot that erupted when James Meredith, a Negro, enrolled in the University of Mississippi. Walker was awarded $500,000 in, actual damages and $300,000 in punitive damages. District Court Judge Charles A. Murray later set aside the award for punitive damages, saying the AP was not actuated by malice in writing of Walk- er's activities. Rejecting the AP's claim that it was protected from the claim of libel by U.S. constitutional amendments and recent deci- the United States, the court |said; FINDS NO MERIT "We find no merit in appel- lants' contention that the re- ports, made without malice, are protected from the claim of li- bel by the ist and 14th amend- ments to the United States Con- stitution. These amendments prohibit Congress from making' laws abridging freedom of speech and of the press and the state from making or enforcing laws of similar nature." The court said the statements in the AP story that Walker, "led a charge of students" and "assumed command of the crowd" were "statements of fact and not of comment." "Truth of the statements} would constitute a complete de- fence," the court said. "Appel- lant (AP) failed in its efforts to' establish this defnce to the satisfaction of the jury which found that neither of the state- ments were substantially true." A spokesman for The AP said sions of the Supreme Court of! the decision would be appealed New CF-5 Jet 'A Trainer', Ex-Defence Minister Says By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA (CP) Douglas Harkness, former Conservative defence minister, said Friday the CF-5 jet fighter-bomber se- lected by the government for; production was designed as a trainer "and that essentially is what it is." He said in an interview that during his 1960-63 term as de- fence. minister. the American plane was considered for Cana- dian production--but only as a trainer. And it was even re- jected as a trainer, the defence department ordering the Cana- dair Ltd. Tutor. The 62-year-old MP for Cal- North, whose resignation the cabinet on the nuclear issue in 1963 toppled the Diefen-| baker government, also said there is "no doubt in the world" that integration of the armed forces has hurt morale very se- riously. The damage to morale was most serious in the navy, which had been "downgraded" by De- fence Minister Hellyer and which, more and more, was be- ing put in the position of being unable to discharge commit- ments to NATO and its job of protecting Canada's coasts. SAYS MORALE HURT Mr. Harkness said morale in the RCAF has been hurt by se- "not a modern piece of equip- ment." He said he can see no stra- tegic or tactical reason for the plane, which will be produced at Canadair, Montreal, at a to- tal cost of $215,000,000. The CF-5 was inferior to mod- ern fighters, bombers and mis- siles. If its role was to maintain air superiority over the battle- field it would be "shot right out of the sky." "T can't envisage any type of operation where the plane would be employed," Mr. Hark-| ness said, "It has no value at all in peacekeeping operations." He said' it would have been better not to order a plane at this time, "particularly when our fighter and fighter-bomber lroles are already being carried out by planes much faster than the CF-5." REFERS TO VOODOO The reference was to the Vbo- doo interceptor and CF-104 low- level bomber. Mr. Harkness said the normal way to decide on purchase of a plane is on the basis of oper- ational requirements put for- ward by the armed forces. No information had been given the public on such requirements "and I doubt very much whether the forces ever did pro- duce the requirements this plane (CF-5) was supposed to lection of the CF-5, which is meet." ~ f Deportation From Canada Threatening Family Union SIMCOE, Ont. (CP) -- Pte. Russell Keck of the U.S. Army arrived here Friday to fight a Canadian deportation order, which threatens to put him and his family on opposite sides of the Atlantic. At stake is the immigrant status of his wife and nine-year- old daughter who arrived in Canada late last year and who last week were ordered to re- turn to Germany. The couple was reunited Fri- day at the Norfolk General Hos- pital here where Mrs. Keck had been admitted Tuesday after fainting on a Simcoe street. She said she was stricken as a re- sult of the deportation order. Pte. Keck said he has been fighting borders and red tape since 1959 when he first met his future bride while he was stationed in Munich, Germany. She was a divorcee with a four-year-old daughter, both of whom had fled from Hungary during the 1956 uprising. In 1962, they decided to marry and Pte. Keck made a request to his commanding officer for! approval. He had not received a reply 14 months later, he said. RETURNS TO U.S. Pte. Keck said he pressed for an answer but the army turned him down. Seven months later, in April, 1963, he returned to the U.S. The opportunity to marry came last year when the future Mrs. Keck and her daughter, Eniko Elizabeth, entered Can- ada on a passport under spon- sorship of her aunt, Mrs. Steve Szarvas of nearby Delhi. They were married Dec. 21. The wedding was held after Pte. Keck completed his term in the service. He re-enlisted in March. Sponsorship granted her only non-immigrant status and at a hearing. last week immigration officials denied her an exten- sion of the visa. She was or- dered deported. An appeal against the order is to be heard in Woodstock Aug. 10. Rev. George M. Trunk, for 70 years a Roman Catholic priest, still leads an active life although nearly 95.

(AP) By WILLIAM NEVILLE OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's proposed multi - million dollar uranium sale to France appears to have developed into a cat- and-mouse game with neither, side willing to make the. next move. Canada, confident its large- scale uranium reserves make waiting worthwhile, is not budg- ing from its insistence that any sale to France be accompanied by strict inspection guarantees and volume controls. France, far from convinced that its long-term uranium re- quirements demand immediate commitments, doesn't like ei- ther of the Canadian strings and is unwilling, at least at this stage, to give ground on them. "And 60 it sits," said a high- placed government source. "No further negotiations are sched- uled at this point and really, as things stand now, there is no need for any." The broad details of the pro- posed deal have been set for some time. If agreement on pol- icy issues can be worked out, France will buy 100,000,000 pounds of uranium oxide over 25 years at a total price of be- tween $700,000,000 and $800,000,- The main roadblock continues to centre around the question of controls. Prime Minister Pearson, in his June 3 policy statement, said all future Canadian ura- nium sales will be restricted to peaceful purposes and that, to ensure this, this country will in- sist on "appropriate verification and control." The general commitment to limit Canadian sales to non-mil- itary projects went some way to meet French complaints that this provision applied to their proposed purchase alone would be discriminatory in face of Canada's no - strings - attached agreements with the United States and Britain. However, the insistence on some form of verification and control left the two couniries still at loggerheads. Sources say the French have declined to allow inspection by the International Atomic En- ergy Agency and are "'less than enthusiastic' about a bilateral system using Canadian inspec- tors. A possible compromise in- volving the European Atomic Energy Agency (Euratom) is "still open, but still unac- cepted," informants said. And so the deal lies in at least temporary suspended ani- mation amid signs of growing concern within Canada's ura- nium industry. policies.

MIAMI, Fla. (AP)--John D. MacArthur, a Plam Beach mul- timillionaire, confirmed Friday that he agreed to pay $21,000 ransom for the stolen, 100-carat DeLong ruby "'to keep it from being cut and resold by loan sharks." The deal. to recover the gem, part of the loot in a burglary of New York's American Mu- seum of Natural History, fell through when Manhattan Dis- trict Attorney Frank.S.

"He told me that the pawn- brokers were holding the ruby but were getting restless," MacArthur said. "This man said they would release it for $21,000. "If the jewel is as valuable as they say it is, and such a curiosity, it would have been criminal to have sawed it up. "If I had bought a jewel for $21,000 and presented it to the museum, it would have been a legitimate tax deduction. So I agreed to do it." MacArthur said he cleared the deal with the FBI because 'I wouldn't want to be in the position of buying a stolen jewel."" And he said he. handled the transaction through Justice of the Peace Hugh Duval of Miami, "T put the money in the First Marine Bank at Riviera Beach," he said. "I do all my business there.

Poltergeists knock on walls, throw furniture about and generally create havoc. One theory in the past was that they were a psycho- physical manifestation caused by the presence of emotional adolescents, especially girls. But Friday the psychophys- ical research unit at Oxford, which investigates alleged su- pernatural phenomena, told of the results of an investiga- tion into a "haunted" house at Bolton in Northern Eng- land. The house was in a good state of repair, but the occu- pants--who included four chil- dren aged two to 10--com- plained of mysterious noises, of feeling they had been touched and of apparently spontaneous flights through the air by small household ob- jects. BOLTON'S GHOSTS ARE REAL, |. suse saitseots OXFORD RESEARCH DECIDES The unit, which has numer- ous professors and doctors of science on its list of consult- ants, sent one to investigate, He decided the mysterious happenings might be caused by variations in the flow of water underground causing minor displacement of sur- face structures. He predicted that studies would show the days on which incidents occurred would be those of greater rainfall. And the unit reported Fri- day that analysis showed he was right. Average rainfall on the 16 days when '"'supernat- ural" events happened was 0.22 inches. Average rainfall for the rest of the year was 0.10 inches, It admitted that this left a disproportionate number of days on which no incidents occurred, but said observa- | tion was continuing and it was hoped that by October the larger number of '"'polter- geist days' would give a fuller basis of comparison. MONTREAL (CP) Can- ada's economic conditions con- tinue to be buoyant and future prospects good, but some warn- ing signs can be seen in the business outlook, says the Bank of Montreal's current business review, The review said much of the strength of 1964 business car- ried over into this year, with no slackening in the first quar- ter, either in Canada or the United States. Industrial pro- duction, already 35- per - cent higher than in early 1961, is still continuing. The bank said strong upward price pressures had appeared late in 1964 and, in the nine months %o June, 1965, wholesale prices in Canada rose by more than three per cent. Consumer prices and most other prices also rose. "Certainly these increases as yet indicates only mild infla- tionary pressure compared with the record in most coun- tries", the review said. "However, they do pose, espe- cially for Canada, a somewhat greater danger of spiralling prices than has been experi- enced in recent years, since they come at a time when the economy is operating much closer to capacity, when sub- stantial wage increases are be- ing gained and when there is an increasing incidence of la- pour disputes resulting in work stoppages." Johnson Signs Medicare Bill INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) President Johnson signed the $6,500,000,000 medicare bill Fri- day after journeying here to share "this time of triumph" with former president Harry S Truman.

Two Labor party members of Parliament tabled questions Friday for Postmaster-General Anthony Wedgwood Benn, draw- ing his attention to the fuss-- on the remote chance that he wasn't aware of it already--and; asking that the stamp be with- drawn. Lord Braye, a Conservative peer and former RCAF flying Swastika Stamp Fires Row In U.K.; Withdrawal Asked Legless air hero Douglas Bader described the drawing as "'non-' sense,"" The stamp in question shows a flight of British Hurricane fighters in the distance, with the tail assembly of a Dornier er Who Bucked His Union Service Federation in 1962, he Said, "He Labor Council then, and I ured he was a good, guy." CHANGED OPINION Thursday, after Mr. Hood's hometown Toronto section of the posal workers had voted to go back to work, Mr. Houle called him a "strikebreaker," and he explained the change say ing: "Hood's been in two years now." William Houle has himself been accused of a switch in his line--from a promise in Ottawa to urge his members back to work, to a flat reading of the terms offered by the govern- ment when he faced the men at a mass meeting in Montreal. The strikers voted as one man to stay out until the government met their $660-more-a-year de- mand with a figure of its own. "It's true I said in an inter- view on the French television network I would urge the men to go back," he admitted, His only mandate was to pass on government offers, he says ow. "I don't think Mr. Benson understands that a labor leader can't promise his men are go- ing to do this or that. Every- thing he says must be taken back to the members." The hope 'William Houle ex- presses is that postal union leaders outside Quebec will comprehend what he calls 'the trade-union reality." "For the first week of the strike I didn't even get home at night," he said. "We rented a suite in the Queen's Hotel, al- though they couldn't get us one overlooking the old central post office." In Quebec, he said, "we're teal trade-unionists." bomber in the foreground, shat tered and about to sink in the sea, Another stamp in the four- penny series which has been at- jtacked shows the wingtip of a Messerschmitt, with its German cross, wing, with the RAF circle. overlapping a Spitfire pain snr geetonS ee eae NEED A NEW FURNACE?
