He expressed shock at the news and recalled that he met Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa only a week ago as he left Lagos after attending the Common- wealth prime ministers' confer- "énce on Rhodesia. The prime minister's state- "ment in the Commons came shortly after a report was re- | Mr, Pearson was in the House an aide said later this report was not passed to him before he made his statement. Mr, Pearson did not elab- ate on his, sources of informa- tion. He, was speaking on ex- ternal affairs during the throne speech debate. Earlier, during the question period, the prime minister said | that the Canadian high commis- | sioner in Lagos had been unable to confirm a press report that | Sir Abubakar had been assassi- } nated. 4 Sir Roy Welensky, former prime minister of the de- . funct Central African Fed eration, predicts that econo- mic chaos will result. from sanctions imposed on Rho- desia. But he Woesn't think the country can be starved into submission. A Cana- dian Press reporter who vi- sited Rhodesia outlines Sir Roy's views in this story. By DAVE McINTOSH SALISBURY, Rhodesia (CP) In the airport bar at Lusaka, Zambia, the waiter refused a proferred Canadian dollar in payment for a beer. "Only American dollars, bwana," he said. Not 50 yards away an RCAF Hercules transport plane was disgorging emergency gasoline supplies for Zambia. It is an hour's run by Vis- count airliner from Lusaka to Salisbury. The plane was crowded with whites. There was not a single African passenger. It was a fine flight and the landing here was smooth. Salisbury's airport is impres- sive by any standards and es- pecially after Lusaka's collec- tion of old Nissen huts. There is little delay. The im- migration officer is courteous. The immigration form requires you to state your race. A reply such as "100-yard dash'"' doesn't raise the ghost of a smile. The officer looks into a plain win- ter-bleached Canadian face and asks only: "Have you been in Rhodesia before?" The customs officer is a young woman, also polite and efficient. The downtown hotel is mod- thodesia Can't Be Starved Into Submission -- Sir Roy ern, equal to any in Canada. Yarmouth bloaters are on the breakfast menu. Toast is served in a silver rack. There is tea-- but no tea bags. If Rhodesia crumbles this ho- tel will be the last bastion, a long-time guest observes. At 6 a.m, it is already hot. Africans on foot and riding bi- cycles begin to fill the streets on the way to their menial jobs. There is little public transpor- tation because all the whites have cars, The oil embargo is an irrita- tion but so far only a minor one. The normal ration is 1% gallons a week but the oil refinery is closing and Rhodesia hasn't jenough railway tank cars, Even if it finds a petroleum source, rationing is bound to get tighter. The new and used car busi- ness is falling off. The Ford as- sembly plant is laying off work- ers. Garages haven't as much work to do. A theatre which used to draw a packed house of 420 people every night now is getting. about 70 customers each performance. RUN CAR POOLS | There are car pools or lift ;clubs as they are called here. "T never knew I had so many friends,"' one car owner with an extra ration said. Another wrote a letter to a for allowing him enough extra fuel for his cigarette lighter. A country innkeeper has in stalled a hitching post in his parking lot for farmers riding horses to fetch the mail and }down a quick one. | But this light-hearted attitude 'is by no means prevalent. (Continued From Page One) Mr. Pearson said it would cost an extra $855,000,000 an- nually to pay $100 pensions at 65. It would be impossible to finance the increase with con- tributions from the Canada Pen- sion Plan fund as the Con- servatives proposed, since Ot- tawa was committed to turn the fund over to the provinces for investment purposes. THE BATTLE'S UNDERWAY to universities and _ technical; schools should be boosted to the point where tuition fees can be abolished. Mr. Diefenbaker recalled that he promised $5 per - capita grants or $100,000,000, plus ex- tra aid for Atlantic universities, in the last election campaign. Mr. Pearson, speaking nearly two hours, ranged over such topics as Viet Nam, Rhodesia, It would be unreasonable to finance the increase through | federal taxes as the NDP pro-| posed because of fast-rising ex- | (ieee in other social security programs, The three party leaders agreed on another issue--the need for more federal aid to universities. Mr. Pearson said a long-range plan of federal and provincial aid to education will be dis- cussed at a federal-provincial conference to be arranged '"'in |the next few months." 1 | The conference would study recommendations by the Eco- nomic Council of Canada and the universities for massive new aid. to sustain economic growth and relieve the shortage of brains and skilled manpower. iU.S. economic conditions and -Que- bec's demands for greater autonomy.

He adds: 'We can take it but we also intend to dish it out." NEWSPAPERS CENSORED This is hardly a tone condu- cive to negotiations with Brit- ain, as The Rhodesian Herald noted in one of its editorials which was 'not censored.

Sir Roy, who opposed the) Nov. 11,geclaration of indepen-| dence, said his principal fear is that the Rhodesian question will go to the United Nations Secur- ity Council with or without Brit- ain's consent. Under Article 7 of the UN charter, the sanctions could be made mandatory and enforced in such circumstances. Sir Roy said he believes Brit- ain wouldn't cast a veto on Rho- desia's behalf because the re- percussions in the rest of the Commonwealth would be grave.

Pickering Township Police Constable Robert Speakman told the court he had asked the accused for insurance on his vehicle after a personal injury accident on Highway 2. He gave the accused 48 hours to produce his insurance at the police Station. Murphy told the court that be had almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning two days before the accident and.as a result had been "very mud- died." He said he could not remember the officer giving him two days to bring in proof of insurance. Magistrate Jermyn said that that was not the only time the accused was "muddled" in his thinking and found him guilty. Murphy said he did not have the funds to pay the fine. Two St. Catharines youths were sentenced to two months in jail here Thursday when they pleaded guilty to stealing $6.10 worth of gasoline from a High- way 2 service station. Stephen G.
