Argentine Rebels
Stage 6 Hour Revolt
BUENOS AIRES <AP>-A vest
pocket revolt in western Argentina fizzled out Monday on ihe
eve of President Aruro Frond-
izi'* departure for a month-long
trip to Europe.
It was the first open rebellion
since Junc. 1956, when Peronists
.staged a quickly smashed uprising against the provisional government of president Pedro Ar-
amburu.
Thc new revolt, by 300 to 400
men from an anti-aircraft group
in San Luis province, was announced shortly after midnight
with a radio declaration that the
rebels had seized the province.
Six hours later, the revolution
collapsed when no help arrived
from other military units.

Shortly after learning of the
uprising, War Secretary Gen. to-

face an attack by government
troops.
The revolt was sparked by
army opponents of Peron who
felt Frondizi was too soft on Per-
onistas and Communists.
Sittings   May   End
Before July Sixteenth
Expcrienctd parliamentarians
say Mr. Diefenbaker has two alternatives to avoid remaining in
session all summer. He can pro-]
ceed with as much of the legisla- i
tive program as is likely to oe
passed by mid - July, resuming
consideration of it in the fall. Or
he can withdraw some of the
measures for re-introduction at a
new session late in the year or
early next year.
Few persons around Parliament Hill except the wishful
thinkers consider there is any
likelihood of the full legislative
program outlined at the Jan. 14
start of the session getting
through before the hoi, humid
days of August roll around.

OTTAWA (CP - Paul-Henri.
Spaak, secretary • general of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization, will arrive in Ottawa Thursday for talks with Prime Minister Diefenbaker on NATO's future, it was learned Monday.'
The detailed schedule of nis
visit probably will be announced
today.
Informed sources said Mr.
Spaak's visit wss prompted by
Mr. Diefenbaker's speech a week
ago at DePauw University in
Greencastle,  Ind.
DIEFENBAKER PLAN
Thc prime minister called 'or|
a heads - of-government meeting
of .the NATO countries to plan.
the alliance's next 10 years and
arrange more effective consultation among the North Atlantic
council members, particularly in
economic matters. The meeting
could be held in Canada, he said
in the Commons on his return.
It wag learned that the Scandinavian members of NATO have
advised the Canadian government they agree with the need
for steps to be taken now to give
the alliance new meaning.
Washington   also   favors
plan.
Initial reaction from Paris is
one of coolness. Britain's Prime
Minister Macmillan has not commented on the suggestion, though
the British are said to feel that
the future or NATO needs careful
attention to avoid conflict with
other international organizations
primarily concerned with economic consultation.

Commons   Debates   Tariff   Legislation
OTTAWA (CP-The Progressive Conservative government
was accused by Liberal MPs
Monday of applying "a ncw type
of closure" by insisting on strict
relevancy in debating bills and
motions in the Commons.
The accusation came as the
House debated excise tax and tar-1
iff amendments announced in the
March 31 budget. Opposition
members ran into objections
from Finance Minister Fleming
when they began to stray oratorl-
cally into broad discussions of
matters included In the main leg-'
islation but not the amendments.
Mr. Fleming said thc opposition
was trying to revive the eight-
day budget debate. He said there 1
would be occasions later for discussion of matters not included in
thc bills.
NEW TYPE OF CLOSURE
"A new type of closure is being
introduced at the suggestion of
the minister of finance," complained William Benidickson (L—
Kenora • Rainy River, former
parliamentary assistant to Liberal F i n a n c e Minister Walter
Harris.
He conlcnded that the Conservative government, by continuously applying the Commons rule
that debate on legislation and
motions must be strictly relevent,
was ignoring the "Historic len
iency" that had been extended by
the former Liberal administration in such debates.
The flurry cropped up when Hubert Badanai (L—Fort William
rose on sccond reading of the excise tax amendments to call for
reduction or elimination of thc excise tax on automobiles, and of
the post-purchase taxes which ne
said now constitute an annual
payment of $535,000,000 to the federal treasury by Canadian motorists,
Mr. Badanai was called to order several times. Continuing |
later in the same vein,
prompted an observation by j
Speaker Roland Michener that he
was "disregarding entirely the direction I have given him."
STICKS TO LINE
Mr. Fleming also refused lo oe
drawn into debates on the possibilities of Russian trade and the
forthcoming negotiations on the
General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade, of tariffs on new and
used farm machinery, and of application of tarriffs to equipment
used in the fishing industry.
Subsequently both bills — fhej
tariff changes and the excise tax:
amendments — received approvel!
in principle.
Amendments lo the Estate Tax
Act also werc given second reading  almost without  debate.
HONEY HARBOUR. Ont. 'CP
A noted Canadian - born cancer
researcher said Monday it is possible that breast cancer in
women can be caused by a s;n-
glc overcooked meal.
Dr. Charles Huggins. head of
the Ben May Laboratory for cancer research in Chicago, saifl. in
an interview his experiments
show that female rats can eat
enough carcinogen — cancer-producing substance — in one meal
to cause cancer of the breast.
"If a rat can get cancer from
one meal so can a human," he
said.
"There is no reason why humans can't—and they vcry prob-
ably do—but wc haven't any evidence."
BORN IN HALIFAX
Dr. H u g g i n s is the Halifax-
born cancer expert who first tied
in sex hormones with prostate
cancer and developed an operation which is still carried out ier
this form of cancer.
He is here to present a paper
to the more than 200 doctors' researchers and scientists at tbe
fourth Csiedian Cancer rk-
search Conference.
He said spience last year dis
covered a substance known as S-
MC. This is methylcholanthrene,
a coal - tar derivative which he
said is also found in overheated
bile acid.
"A dose given by mouth to a
rat makes its way in a bee-line
for the breast." he said. One single dose administered once this
way inevitably caused cancer.
He said bile acid was found
only in such foods as liver—"!
won't eat well - done liver"—
and lhat some other meats are
still unknown quantities in this
regard.
