ILNTS AT EXPLOSION
Greek authorities said Bulgarian
anti-aircraft gunners shot down the

*ih*esMd the incident from across
fee nearby Greek-Bulgarian frontier was quoted as saying he was
.nt lOOper-cent certain that the ex-
P-3'ion did not come from inside
ttf plans.
The soldier, whose account was
i-elw-fd by the Greek Third Army
frrp- headquarter*, said he saw
two figures jump from the airliner
and ona parachute -open. (Parachutes are not normally carried in
big commercial airliners).
Thc soldiers said hc heard an explosion before the crash and
thought it was the booming ot Bulgarian anti-aircraft guns firing at
the plane but was not sura.
This   eyewitness   account   appeared to throw some doubt on the
earlier Greek government state*
ment.
BLAME SOLDIERS
A communique issued jointly
Wednesday night In Tel Aviv by
the Israeli communications ministry and EI Al airline also stated
categorically that the plane had
been "fired on by Bulgarian soldiers at a placs near the Greek-
Yugoslav border." It attributed the
claim to an Athens report.
The communique said there was
"no fresh news" regarding the
fate of the passengers and crew.
It added that an Israeli plane was
flying to Sofia tonight with a six-
man Inquiry commission.

points:
' 1.. The G p n e v a eonferen'cf
''changed tbe climate of international relations." Private discussions outside the conference room
produced real aims in "removing
some of the distrust" -which has
raised barriers between East and
West.
2. The position of Gwmany li
the dominant issue in Europe and
"so long as Germany is divided
there can be no real security or
mutual  confidence   in   Europt."
3. President Eisenhower's proposal for an exchange of military
blueprints with the Soviet Union
was a "bold and imaginative suggestion." But he eald that other
and more limited Western proposals on disarmament offered
greater hop* of initial progress.
4. The situation in the Far East
U "more dangerous" than that
In Europe, but can bt resolved

OTTAWA (CP)- Prime
Minister St. ' Laurent said
Wednesday, that parliamentary approval of a CCF proposal fpr a national fuel policy would constitute federal
invasion 'of provincial .control of natural resources.
The proposal, last non - confidence motion in the government
this session, was moved in thc
Common:* by Clarie Gillis (CCF—
Capo Breton South) and voted
down 72 to. 38 after a 45-minute
debate. The motion was supported
by all opposition parties and opposed solidly by Liberals.
Mr. Gillis- recommended a national fuel policy to permit all
sources of energy' to be used.to
maximum advantage in Canada.
This, would permit peak power
development and a more balti-nced
economy.
CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER
, However, Mr. St. Laurent said
the government would have lo seek
a constitutional amendment to on-
ablp. it to carry out the policy
j proposed in the motion. The Lib*
ity, research on new chemical
derivatives from coal and planning of immigration to help
develop coal-producing areas.
Mr. Gillis disagreed with Mr.
St. Laurent that thc constitution
.would have to be amended. Thc
Dominion Coal Board could be
expanded to lake in other fuels
and electricity.
"Thc government are afraid of
eral party was not prepared to
take over fields which came under
provincial jurisdiction. One of
these was natural resources.
Federal control of fields'.now
delegated to the provinces might
be desirable under a unitary form
of government ''but it is not the
situation that results from the
British North America Act."
The federal government already
was doing what could be done in! themselves." hc said,
developing fuel resources. This
included -payment of subsidies lo
promote ■ the movement of coal
from one area to another.
COMMISSION STUDY	
Mr. St. Laurent said resources
will be considered by the royal
commission on Canada's economic
vfuture. If the commission recommended a national fuel policy
it, would be considered.
A former coal miner, Mr. Gillis
said his proposed policy would en*
able the government lo give effect
to ret-ommtMidutions ui'ide IT opposition piti'ties during a deb-ilv'
Monday  on Canada's  ailing coal
PARTY LEADERS HEARD
Opposition leader Drew said thc
Progressive Conservative party
supported thi CCF motion on thc
understanding it did not involve
socialization of fpcl resources. He
said Oitawa should take the initiative in bringing about federal-
provincial co - operation in the
development of coal - burning
plants as -sources of electrical
power. "    ,
Social Credit leader Low said
the eoal industry might have been
saved if Ibi government had
adopted ' a   well-defined   national
industry.'1 Tliey included establish-j fuel policy. ■
mont of new  industries in coal-j    Thc government had been short
sighted and irreparable damage
already had occurred in the coal
producing areas, encouragement of
coal-fueled generation of electric-
industry. "
CCF leader Coldwell aaid he
realizes that a national,fuel policy, if adopted, would have to be
applied in the present capitalistic
economy. Thc motion was not
designed lo introduce any form of
socialism in Canaa.
