Ottawa and for payment of Postage in Cash Anti-British Mob Masses In Hong Kong HONG KONG (CP) -- Leftist demonstrators invaded Hong Kong island today, marching on Government House throughout the day and plastering anti- British slogans on its gates and walls, But there were no clashes between the noisy crowds and the police. Peking Radio said Chinese Premier Chou En-lai and some 100,000 Chinese massed at a gymnasium in the Chinese capi- tal to denounce "British impe- rialism and suppression of Chi- nese patriots in Hong Kong." Demonstrators also paraded past the British legation in Pe- king, as they had done for three days previously. In the Portuguese colony. of Macao, 40 miles from Hong Kong, 300 leftist Chinese dem- onstrated in front of the British consulate, Consul Norman Ions received them in small groups and listened without comment to their claims of police brutal- ity in Hong Kong. The demonstrators who marched on Hong Kong's Gov- ernment House did it in relays. About 800 Chinese, angered when Governor Sir David Trench would not see them, roared out Communist songs and slogans for nearly two! hours. About three hours later, an- other crowd of 500 came up the three-block-long hill from Hong Kong's main section with more posters and shouting. The posters accused British authorities of police brutality and "wounding and killing Chi- nese" in suppressing rioting in Hong Kong's Kowloon section during the last week. There has been one confirmed death in the rioting, a 14-year- old boy, but he was hit on the head by a rock from a rooftop where rioters were stoning po- lice. The violence began with a labor dispute in a factory that makes plastic artificial flowers. Violence was absent from Kowloon today for the first time this week as 3,500 police patrolled the area on mainland China across the harbor from Hong Kong island. The sector was put under a curfew Wed- nesday night after crowds of up to 3,500 invaded the business district and tourist hotel area, battled police, set fires and broke windows. About 34 police- men and four civilians were in- jured and 131 rioters arrested. Rockets Slammed Into Key U.S. Base DONG HA, South Vietnam (Reuters) -- North Vietnamese troops today slammed '"whis- pering death" rockets into this key American base just south of the demilitarized zone, kill- ing 11 U.S. marines and wound- ing 41 others and wrecking vital installations with deadly accu- racy, ..They blasted three other U.S. Apgaitions in similar pre - dawn » but there was no im- mediate word on casualties in Li the other attacks. The heaviest attack was at Dong Ha, 11 miles south of the buffer zone and a major for- wi base in the relentless struggle between marines and North Vietnamese troops for control of the northernmost part of South Vietnam. The 140-millimetre rockets--| most powerful weapon in the Communist arsenal in South Vietnam -- sent an air force radar centre up in flames and scored direct hits on the ma- rines' divisional operations cen- tre, generators supplying the camp's electric power and a South Vietnamese military headquarters. Mortar shells landed, too, but the heaviest damage was done by the rockets, increasingly used in the region recently.

Mrs. Standal said. she wants her son to receive the care he needs but 'I dare not take a chance on hospitals here and my losing custody because the doctors want to give hima transfusion."

Times Photo Metro Offer 'Withdrawn By Eaton's TORONTO (CP) -- The T. Eaton Co. Ltd. today withdrew an offer to the city of Toronto for a multi-million dollar rede- velopment of 22.5 acres adjacent to Toronto's modernistic, twin- tower city hall. The development, which the department store said in 1966 would involve an investment of up to $260,000,000, had forecast a giant retail complex with a new Eaton store, a plaza and great office towers, including two of 57 storeys and one of 69 storeys. The development, planned in phases over 15 years, was for an area of several blocks be- tween Queen, Dundas, Yonge and Bay Streets, just east of the new city hall and north of the old city hall. "In view of the fact that our enthusiasm for the plan is not matched by some groups in the municipality and by some mem- bers of the municipal govern- ment, we do not believe that workable financial conditions can be negotiated," a letter to Mayor William Dennison from John David Eaton, company president, said. The letter noted that. more than $2,000,000 had been spent in planning costs alone in con- nection with the project. It con- i" Mion of the area. PREMIER JOHNSON >.

Mr. Martin told reporters he disagrees with this view and that he believes that most UN members, including the United States and Britain, also do. The minister was elaborating ;on his Commons statement ear- |lier that Egypt in consenting to creation of the UN force in 1956 | accepted a limitation on its sov- ereignty and that only the UN can determine whether the force should be withdrawn. It was the first time in mem- ory that Canada has made a public break with a UN secre- tary-general. Mr. Martin said in an inter- view that once a UN force is committed to an operation its withdrawal cannot be ordered by the country where it is sit- uated, He said Prime Minister Pear- son, when external affairs min- ister, had taken this position in 1957. kjold took the same positif¥ » when the UN force was sent The Congo in 1960. Mr. Martin said Thant now is discussing the situation with a number of countries, including the six which contribute troops to the force in Egypt. He said he is sure the. secre- tary - general will take Cana- dian views into account. Mr. Martin said Israel op- posed creation of the force in 1956. But it believed the force could not be withdrawn without the consent of the UN. The force operates only in Egypt and not in Israel.

Cubans Backed In Venezuela HAVANA (Reuters) -- Cuba's Communist leaders today defi- antly backed three Cubans who landed on the Venezuelan coast last week to join guerrillas oper- ating there. The central committee of the Communist party, headed by Premier Fidel Castro, also pro- claimed its determination to "fulful its duty of solidarity' with revolutionaries around the world.
