The pamphlet said $25,000 was ganizer if he would find Social Credit support for the Liberals, and that Newfoundland mining promoter John Doyle and Transport Minister Pickersgill were in on the deal. "Dr. Marcoux will have to agree that the provincial police were in touch with him over mation," the justice minister's statement says.

(AP) "This showed us that white folks don't hate Negroes," said Lamar Thomas, a Negro tenant farmer, as tears of gratitude trickled down his face. Nearly $2,000 and other gifts of clothes, furniture and food have poured in to the Thomas family after fire destroyed their small frame home and took the life of a four-year-old daughter, Mrs. Thomas said today many of the donations came from white persons. One week ago, Thomas and a white furniture salesman, Frank McCree of nearby Madi- son, Ga., were talking in a cot- ton field when the salesman, sayythe house in flames. - Thomas, who is almost biind, cried: "Oh, my God, my chil- dren are in there!" RESCUES BOY McRee sprinted to the house, kicked in a window encased in flames, grabbed 10-months-old Lamar Jr., and tossed him out to Thomas. McRee, blinded by smoke and flame, could not locate the other child. He leaped out the window when the roof began to fall. The little girl later was found dead under a bed.

McClellan said Thursday night that threats against party leaders and disturbances at campaign rallies primarily are the respon- sibility of local police forces. He said he had no knowledge of measures announced by the RCMP in British Columbia to protect three party leaders when they travel to Vancouver today for campaign engage- ments. The RCMP was the provincial police force in B.C. and fol- lowed the instructions of the provincial attorney - general's department. Commissioner McClellan de- clined to say whether the RCMP is taking similar steps in other provinces to protect party leaders. "If special steps were taken, we wouldn't advertise them," he said. Security precautions would lose their effectiveness if the -publie--knew.-about..them Earlier, RCMP superintend- ent G. R. Engel said in Victoria that RCMP bodyguards will ac- jcompany federal party leaders |who campaign in B.C. before Monday's election.

Tight Money Talk Enters By THE CANADIAN PRESS Talk of tight money, security precautions and the "'affair of the six'. dominated the cam- paign Thursday as party lead- ers were racing to the wire. New Democratic Leader Douglas, drawing a crowd esti- mated at 12,000 in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, challenged Prime Minister Pearson to say whether the Liberals plan to boost interest rates after Mon- day's election. In St. Thomas, Ont., Mr. Pearson replied before 2,000 persons that the NDP leader was making "very scarey state- ments" that could create fear in the business community. 'We will do everything we can to keep the economy expanding," he said, In Edmonton, at least 25 po- licemen mingied with a crowd of 4,300 as Conservative Leader Diefenbaker was accusing the government of dividing the country. An anonymous caller earlier told police Mr. Diefen- baker would be "'knocked off," but no disturbance arose. And Creditiste Leader Ca- ouette told a rally of 3,000 in Montreal that he will take legal action against his former col- league Dr. Guy Marcoux, whom he accused of having damaged the reputation of six Creditiste members of the last Parlia- ment. Mr. Diefenbaker, Mr. Douglas and Social Credit Leader Rob- ert Thompson all had speaking engagements in Vancouver to- day. The NDP leader said in Toronto the police protection is unnecessary and he would de- cline it. Mr. Pearson speaks in Kitch- ener and Hamilton today. Mr. Caouette is in Quebec City. Mr. Diefenbaker speaks in. Vancou- ver, then flies to Regina for an evening rally. CURTAILING CREDIT? Mr. Douglas said in Toronto there have been reports that banks are "shutting off' credit de in anticipation of tight money and other anti-inflation meas- ures by the government, Such steps would halt the boom. He called on Mr. Pearson to confirm or deny that the Lib- erals plan to hike interest rates on Bank of Canada credit and government - backed mort- gages. ; The prime minister, visiting St. Thomas and Chatham Thurs-; day, said the money supply is increasing faster in Canada than in the U.S. "This doesn't look like tight money." He said the recent automo- bile free-trade agreement with the U.S, is one of "the biggest things" his government has done. we Opposition parties had sneered and jeered at the pact but it was resulting in 20,000 new jobs in Canada, an 18-per- cent increase in auto production and expansion plans by 170 companies, he said.

Surgeons De-Fuse By PETER ARNETT SAIGON (AP) Working through a small hole in a wall of sandbags, two U.S. surgeons successfully removed a live gre- nade from a, South Vietnamese farmer's back today. "It's in the box,"' Maj.-Gen, James. W. Humphreys Jr. shouted as he released the gre- nade into a wooden case half filled with sand after pulling it from the back of frail, 52-year- old Nguyen Tran Chinh. The operation in a shed be- hind a Saigon hospital took. less than four minutes, Chinh became a walking ex- plosive Sunday when a Viet Cong. fired the 40-millimetre grenade from a launcher into his back. The missile six inches long and two inches wide lodged in his lower back beneath the 12th rib. Humphreys, a chest surgeon, was assisted by another chest surgeon, Air Force Col. Daniel Campbell. A British anesthetist, Dr. Tony Brown, gave Chinh a local anesthetic. HAVE SHELTER The doctors, who volunteered for the job, operated from be- hind a 10-foot high stack of sandbags. They were about four feet away from the patient. Inserting their instruments through an opening below a large pane of bulletproof glass, they made an incision with a scalpel attached to a six-foot- long steel arn. Then Humphreys picked out the grenade with a six-foot-long pair of prongs and placed it ... GRENADE REMOVED FROM VIETNAMESE 'Walking Bomb' gently in the box of sand. It was about two feet from the wound to the box. 'If I had dropped it, the whole show would have been over,"' Humphreys said, A U.S. Army demolition ex- pert carried the box to a sand- bagged jeep. It was to be det- onated outside Saigon. The grenade can kill at five yards and cause serious injury far beyond that distance. Chinh sat up-and smiled as he was helped to a stretcher. Blood was running down his back from the long incision. SHOWS BULGE Before the operation, Chinh, a frail man with a wispy beard, showed reporters the bulge where the grenade had lodged since Sunday. The grenade was believed to have been fired at Chinh from a distance of about eight yards. That type of grenade arms it- self over a distance of 12 yards, Chinh was put to bed in a shed behind the hospital and South Vietnamese authorities called in Humphreys, who heads the U.S. aid mission's Public health division. The impact of the grenade did not break any bones, and after a few days Chinh wanted to go home, "But we couldn't allow that," Humphreys said.

A London-style peasoup fog had socked in San Francisco In- ternational Airport but cleared before their arrival. The royal pair had a glittering view of hilly San Francisco by night. "Hey, Princess," a photogra- pher shouted at the airport as Margaret shook hands in the re- ception line, "how about turn- ling around for a picture?" The princess, sixth in line to Britain's throne, made a full about-face to pose. She wore the same biege tweed wool coat and yellow silk dress in which she travelled and her only jewelry was a double row of pearls, matching earrings and a. gold brooch pinned to a shoulder. She did not wear a hat on arrival, something most San Francisco women do wear. After the press reception, al- though it was 14 hours since she had left London, Princess Margaret agreed to tour the club's upper floors including areas usually barred to women and non-members. When she descended, one of her hosts said to the crowd: "Let's give a big hand for the little lady." The crowd did.

The action sparked spec- ulation in the Rhodesian capi- tal that Prime Minister Ian Smith was paving the way to hig independence from Brit- ain. A surprised government offi- cial, who first heard of the statement by a reporter, said; "You don't have to read be- tween the lines too closely to guess what is going on." But Prime Minister Ian Smith nied it. "When we are going to de- clare a state of emergency for a UDI (unilateral declaration of fi ) we will tell you about it,' he informed reporters as he emerged from a day-long cabinet meeting. He said his reply to British Prime Minister Wilson on a could not disclose what the let- ter contains -- "it would be wrong of me to do so." Asked by a reporter whether a declaration is closer, Smith replied: "No." He said there would be no further Rhodesian government statement today on the declara- tion of the national state of emergency. Desmond Lardner - Burke Rhodesia's minister of justice, law and order, who ordered the state of emergency for three months, said it was necessary because of a threat to security in Rhodesia. He said trained African saboteurs were either at large in Rhodesia or poised in territories to the north. "The public is, of course, well aware of incidents of arson, vio- lence, intimidation and other, subversive activities taking place in this country at pres- ent," Lardner-Burke said. Newspaper men, however, emergency when handed a Rhodesia Proclaims State Of Emergency ndependence Be Imminent could not recall immediately any incidents of this nature in the last few weeks.

The leaders of both Ihave been confined to remote areas of the country. The spokesman said some of the saboteurs were at large in Rhodesia and in neighboring countries. ; Lardner - Burke said the forces of law and order are cap- able of containing the situation and any Certain measures ' taken, he said, but he did explain, The government's action was precautionary to a degree, he He appealed to all Rhode- sians to co-operate fully with the authorities and to about their business as usual, TIGHTEN CONTROL Lardner - Burke said the com- missioner of police had ap pointed. officers in the prove inces.

The government of Prime Minister Ian Smith is in a bitter fight with Britain in a bid for independence, Thurs- day it virtually banned ali im- ports in a move to preserve its dwindling foreign exchange. Britain has threatened a full- scale economic boycott if Rho- desia, a self-governing central African colony, seizes independ- ence.
