Alvin Hamilton (PC--Qu'Ap- but pelle) and NDP Leader Douglas LUSAKA (Reuters) -- Zamba announced today further gaso- line rationing for essential and private motorists. « Industry Minister Justin Chimba said in a statement the allocation for essential users is being cut by 10 per cent, while private motorists would be al- Jowed only 10 gallons a month instead of the previous 12. It was the second two-gallon cut for private motorists in two months. It followed an an- nouncement earlier this week of the imposition of an import tax of one-shilling (15 cents) a gai- lon, which put the price of premium gasoline up to about five shillings a gallon. The tax is to offset the cost of importing fuel through routes by-passing the breakaway col- ony of Rhodesia, largely through Tanzania, a 1,200--mile haul over poor roads. Sewer Phantom Poses Problem MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A 14-year-old boy who periodically roamed city sewers during the last two years poses a perplex- ing 'problem for juvenile court Officials. Probation officer Frank Mc- Crosky said: "The boy has roamed the sewers for as much as a month at a time." The youpgster, nicknamed the "Phantom of the Sewers" by police, has been in and out of juvenile court since 1960. After his last brush with authorities last week, he was sent for a psychiatric check. In his subterranean hideout, explained Chief Probation Offi- eer Claude Pearson, "the boy felt psychologically as well as physically secure." Described as "mentally dis- turbed," the unidentified boy lives with an elderly grand- mother. Officers said his par- ents, now divorced, apparently were unable to care for him. McCroskey said the boy pro- vided for his meagre existence by petty thefts pulled in the neighborhood of his sewer hide- away. _ {shippers in times, northern took a,similar 'line, ' demanding revisions that wou 1d. protect the West, the Mari- On and of line with thtae levied te the big industrial regions. SETS UP AGENCY The 24,000 - word bill, intro- duced Monday as part of the government's formula for set- jtling the railway strike crisis, {would establish a single federal agency to regulate the entire! field of transport and also implement modern railway leg- islation suggested by the Mac- Pherson royal commission. of 1961. It would set the railways free to abandon uneconomic branch lines and money-losing passen- ger services, subject only to a provision that the government could order any line or service continued in the publie interest. But in those cases Ottawa would finance most of the-losses"in- volved, paying 100 per cent on branch lines and 80 per cent on Passenger services. Transport Minister Pickers- gill, who said Thursday night he did not expect an easy time getting the bill through, gave _ Hamilton an assurance that the gévernment will not allow any hurried and wholesale aban- Mr. Pickersgill reported that his department already is draw- ing up a list of lines that will be frozen "for a period of years" during which no abandonment applications would be accepted. These would form a network through Western Canada. AGREE TO WITHDRAW He also said the presidents of the CNR and the CPR have agreed to withdraw the dozens of applications already made for the closing of western lines. the' new legislation is Passed. Mr. Douglas' said the bill is.a "timid step" towards an effec- tive transportation policy. The ultimate remedy would be the merger of all transport systems into a single public utility, The new agency, to be known as the Canadian Transport Com- mission, should be more than a mere regulatory body.

He had just completed a low-level fly past and a series of rolls when the crash occurred on the shore of Toronto Island. An evewitness said about 100 children had been watching the air show from near where the plane crashed but had left about five minutes before: when a heavy rain shower soaked the field. Two F-11-As approached the grandstand area, one from the east and the other--Lt.-Cmdr. Oliver's plane--from the west. They passed in front of the grandstand and did a series of rolls as they flew away in op- posite directions. Thousands Watch C Kill CNE Air Show Pilot An air show spokesman said the aircraft were flying at about 450 m.p.h. some 50 feet above Lake Ontario. Witnesses said Lt.-Cmdr. Oli- ver's plane appeared to falter as it completed its last roll. The tail section of the plane hit the water, The aircraft then appeared to bounce and slammed into a con- crete and steel breakwater on the edge of Toronto Island. There was a brilliant orange- flamed explosion and clouds of heavy smoke were thrown up the instant of the impact.

"It is fundamental Marxist theory that the people aré the motive power in the creation of world history," says an article in the official Peking newspaper ter Pearson made clear Friday that he believes there are ways to tighten the economic noose on Rhodesia without resort to force. On the eve of his departure for the Commonwealth prime ministers' conference in Lon- don, Mr. Pearson told the House of Commons it would not be wise to take "firm and public positions" on matters that will be discussed, But he hinted that Canada would favor strengthening sanc- tions against the white regime of Rhodesia's Premier Ian Smith. The effect of sanctions so far has been disappointing, he ad- mitted. But there was no doubt that sanctions are "having an effect" on the economy of Rho- desia. further steps that could be taken to strengthen economic pres- sures through sanctions." STEP IS POSSIBLE One. possible proposal at the 'conference will be to refer the Rhodesian issue to the United Nations, where mandatory sanc- tions could be applied. These would be binding on all members and would bring the UN into confrontation with South Africa, chief ally of the Smith regime. But such sanctions would not imply the use of force in the conventional sense, Mr. Pear- son said, "and.I am certain that before any force were at- tempted . .. there would be an examination of whether eco- nomic sanctions could be ap- plied and made effective." Mr. Pearson's attendance at doubt until the start of his Com- mons statement, when he said that passage of the strike-end- ing railway bill appeared to make it possible for him to leave today. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker said he was happy the prime minister would be able to attend, but he felt it was "very unnecessary" to hold the meeting now. IT'S BRITISH PROBLEM Rhodesia was a British prob- lem and responsibility and could not be solved by a prime minis- ters' conference. As he had predicted, Mr. Dief- enbaker said, the sanctions had failed to work. Prime Minister Wilson of Britain had depended on the sanctions policy and "now, apparently, the responsi- bility is again to be dissembled Mr. Diefenbaker said next week's meeting would be the third prime ministers' confer- ence this year, adding: "Three meetings in one year is at least one too many. It does not make for unity to meet together reg- ularly and not have anything particularly in mind. , . ."' Social Credit Leader Thomp- son intervened later to point out that the conference was only the second this year. Mr. Diefenbaker said the prospect of submitting the ques- tion to the United Nations was "not very helpful." He suggested that Prime Min- ister Pearson and External Af- fairs Minister Martin make per- sonal visits to Rhodesia to "try at first hand to do that which has not been achieved by the British government . . ."

W:. J. Smith said the CBRT was seeking the support of other rail unions involved in the rail- ways dispute. There was no immediate ex- planation of what the work-to- rule plan would involve in rail- way operation.

The union has 22,000 members on the railways, 21,000 on the CNR and 1,000 on smaller lines, mainly the Ontario Northland. A handful of CPR employees would be involved at joint CPR- CNR terminals. The CBRT men are mainly freight handlers, truck delivery men and clerks. R. C.
