CALL SHOOTING GRAVE
Western officials called thc
early morning shoo ing onc of
the gravest of the almost daily
incidents reported along the 100-
mile barbed wire and concrete
•all encircling West Berlin. i
Some 250 machine • gun and1
rifle shots were fired, one policeman estimated. Dozens of
fresh bullet holes later were
counted at eye-leve height in
trees 30 or 40 yards from tho I
fence.
The nine refugees, aged 19 to
23, all former commuters to
West'Berlin rammed their truck
into the double line of barbed
wire in suburban Zehlendorf.
Amid a hall of fire, the truck
snapped the wire but became
stalled between two concrete I
posts. The refugees scrambled
out and raced to cover in Western territory with bullets whiz-1
zing.
West Berlin-police arrived on
the scene, and wiliin minutes
two jecploads of U.S. military
police drove up.
"Stay away from the border
we will shoot," shouted an
East German policcma
Seconds later the Communists
opened up with rapid-fire rifles.
"It's a miracle that we had
casualties," said a Western

In his letter lo Shinwell,
Khrushchev referred to the
United States senator as "this
woman, blinded by savage hatred toward the community of
Socialist countries" and said she
"reproached the government of
the United States that it was not
determined enough o use nuclear weapons in the supposed
war over Berlin."
Khrushchev added*. "It is hard
to believe how a woman, if she
is not the devil in a disguise of
a woman, can make such a malicious man-hating call."
"I don't know whether she has
children and how many,"
Khrushchev added, "but she
should understand that in the
fire of nuclear war, millions of
people would perish including her
own children, if she has any."
(Mrs. Smith, 63, has no children.)

Planners Full Of
Centenary   Ideas
By DAL WARRINGTON
HALIFAX (CP)-How to celebrate Canada's centenary
1967: build a new c ty; erect a
granite slab; forget the whole
thing. These are some of the
ideas that cropped up whei
Community Planning Association
of Canada tackled the problem
Friday.
About the only th ng they all
agreed on was that f something
is built it should be built to last
—for 300 years if possible.
Charles A. Vaughan, Nova
Scotia planning co-ordinator and
a director of the Canadian Centenary Council, said the council
and the federal government are
looking for something more than
festivals, pageants and celebrations. For Halifax, of which he
ex-mayor,   he ' suggested
fountain built in the shadow of
Citadel Hill.
Harry Parsons of Fort William, Ont., director of the Lake-
head Planning Board, said, "the
best thing we could do in 1067
is ignore the centenary. Then
we're not likely to hold up until
1967 what we should do before
then."
WANTS A SLAB
Ronald Bryant of the Halifax
planning departmen suggested
putting up "a big granite slab
somewhere." Then here would
lie a lot of money left over to
build an entirely new city,
planned by the best designers
and planners, something to rival
Brasilia, the new Brazilian capital.
Beer Gives
Him
Courage
TORONTO (CP)-Robert Lawrence, 40, a high steel rigger,
said Thursday he drinks seven
pints of beer for lunch "because
it gives me courage and helps
me walk the girders better."
Lawrence was in court
charged with impaired driving.
He denied, he was impaired when
arrested.
He called two felow riggers
who said they always drank
their lunch before returning to
the girders but their testimony
did not convince Magistrate
M. J. Cloney. Lawrence was
fined $100 or seven days.
Hc reiterated the Soviet l.ji
ion's willingness to have a sin
gle acting secretary • genera
take charge temporarily instead
of the three - man board, or
lioika. that it wants to bc installed eventually.
SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS
Hc said the acting secretary'
general should choose three,
four, six or seven other secretaries of specified nationalities
for principal advisers and should
promise before his election to
consult them and seek mutual
agreement with them on major
questions. But he stressed thai
the top man should make his
own decisions and should not be
subject to their veto.
United States ambassador Ad
lai Stevenson, Zorin's opposits
number in negotiations on the
subject, commented that the
U.S. would "resist the concept
of the troika or the ideological
division of the world into three
blocs."
"I wish Mr. Zorin would not
threaten the United Nations wilh
disaster if he does not have his
way," Stevenson added.
Nfld. Ottawa Case Back To Where It Started
By DON HANRIGHT
OTTAWA lCP)-Two ycars of
legal manoeuvring have come
to nothing in Newfoundland's
damage suit against the federal
government for alleged breach
of an RCMP contract.
Every point won by Newfoundland'in side issues before
Exchequer Court and the Supreme Court 'of Canada now has
been yielded by the province |
for the sake of spied and the'
case Is back to where it started.
partment officials said it still Is
uncertain whether a trial will
ever take place and Keith
Eaton of OttawaK counsel for
Newfoundland, said he didn't
know, either.
LOOK TO ST. JOHN'S
Mr. Eaton indicated that the
decision rets with the provincial government at St. John's.-
The case arises from' the
March,. 1959, loggers' strike in
Newfoundland when provincial
Attorney • General Leslie Curtis
The, trial was to have begun asked  Ottawa  to   send-RCMP
"*   "     • ■  -••     -      reinforpements to the scene.
. Under a 1959 contract, the
RCMP polices Newfoundland and.the province could ask
for such- reinforcements, But a
clause gave Justice Minister
Fulton power to deny such a re-
here Monday but Friday Newfoundland successfully applied j
to Exchequer Court President!
J. T. Thorson for postponement
of the trial until Dec. 18.
But  that  doesn't  mean, the
trial will start then. Justice de-
quest, if it would interfere with
RCMP responsibilities * in other
parts of Canada.
At the time, L. H. Nicholson,
then RCMP commissioner, assembled the 50 reinforcemehts
at Moncton, Halifax and Sy
ready to fly to Newfound
But they were never sent.
Commissioner Nicholson subsequently resigned, a year in
advance of his scheduled retirement.
Newfoundland- filed its claim
for damages on Oct. n 1959.
About a month later thc justice |
department here filed a state-1
ment of defence.
■Then in December Newfoundland said it would exercise its J
right to seek an examination for
discovery—a method of adduc
ing evidence—of a federal'government officer. *
The officer wasn't named. Mr.
Justice Thorson finally named
Deputy Minister E, A. Drcidger,
,after rejecting a sugger""
that Mr. Fulton himself
called.
The justice department then
appealed this decision to the
Supreme Court. Newfoundland
cross-appealed, saying it wanted
to examine .Mr. Fulton instead.
Ottawa then applied to have
Newfoundland's cross - appeal
quashed.
REJECT APPLICATION   ,
The latter .application was rejected by the Supreme Court-
making Newfoundland's cross-
appeal valid.       ' •   .
before  the   appeal
and cross - appeal themselves
could be heard, Newfoundland
filed in Supreme Court its consent to have the original Exchequer Court decision reversed.
Iri this way, Newfoundland
agreed not to exercise its right
to call either Mr. Driedger or
Mr. Fulton on examination for
discovery.
Mr. Eaton told a'reporter Friday that the decision was taken
for expediency. The appeal and
cross • appeal would not have
come up until the current Supreme Court sitting and a judgment, might have been delayed
until some time this winter
Arid after all that, thc examination would have to .take place
before the trial began. •
