REEVES HAGGAN Lieterman Fired: 'Seven Days Ends' TORONTO (CP) -- Douglas Leiterman has lost his job with the CBC and Reeves Haggan and Patrick Watson have re- signed from the corporation. The CBC announced today it has refused to rehire Mr. Lei- terman as executive producer of the controversial television pro- gram This Hour Has Seven Days. Mr. Watson, a co-host of Seven Days and producer of the pro- gram Document, said he re- signed because he could not re- main with the CBC "'as it is at present constituted." Earlier, Mr. Haggan resigned as general supervisor of public affairs at the CBC over what he called "the sordid. manoeu- vres th™ corporation has been going through,"' to get rid of Mr. Leiterman "It's the end of the road," Mr. Leiterman said.

The Communist leaders said agreement should also be reached on reducing the size of the armed forces of both East and West Germany. "There i. no domain of peace- ful co-operation where the Eu- ropean states could not find op- portunities for further mutually beneficial steps," the declara- tion 'said.

Mrs. Indira Gandhi proposed Thursday that convening of the conference be followed by a truce and that a settlement include the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Viet Nam and guarantees of neutral inde- pendence for Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. There "can be no military so- lution in Viet Nam"', she said in a broadcast es leaving for talks with leaders of the United Arab Republic, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. She arrived in Cairo today to meet President Nasser. Most foreign governments, in- cluding the United States and North Viet Nam, were informed of Mrs. Gandhi's proposal in advance. The crux of her proposal was another Geneva conference of the type held in 1954 to nego- tiate an end to the French Indo- china war. The agreements reached at that conference are theoretically still in force and Britain and the Soviet Union re- main the conference co-chair- men. WORKS WITH CANADA India is chairman of the In- ternational Control Commission set up to oversee application of the provisions of the 1954 con- ference. Its other members are Canada and Poland.
