OTTAWA (CP)-The scale of federal aid foi Newfoundland fishermen is "tantamount to discrimination" in comparison with assistance

GAVE GROUND
Before the decision to go with
the hard-line bloc of nations as
the conference neared a close,
Rusk had given ground in an
effort to accommodate the six
nations standing against hard
anti-Cuban action.
President Kennedy's team,
had leaned over backward
avlid an open hemisphere split.
The rift put some of the biggest
and most influential nations in
the American family in opposition to the United States..
The U.S. decision left the
delegates still faced wit
prospect of an all-night filibuster from the Cuban delegation
at the plenary session.
Dramatic
Rescue
PERTH (Reuters) — The Li-
berian tanker Bridgewaler broke

off the Australian coast Tuesday
but its crew of 39 was saved in
a dramatic sea rescue.
The Italian tanker Elois
plucked seven men from thc
sinking bow and then dashed 15
milcs in a 2B,knot wnd.to rescue the remainder of thc crew
from the drifting stern section.
The 9,676 ■ ton Bridgewatcr,

(CCF — Skecnal.have west-
coast fishermen bcen left out altogether?
The Commons turned lo fish
after finally approving $42,000.-
000 in acreage payments to
more than 200,000 Prairie grain
growers who will draw up to
$200 each as recompense for
drought losses and lower income.
Fisheries Minister MacLean
said the $300,000 worth of federal   help   for    Newfoundland
takes advantage of the winter
works incentive program plus
special works projects for out-
port communities afflicted with
catch failures.
DENIES SHOWING FAVOR
Mr. MacLean denied that the
government showed favor to either east or west coast fishermen. The nature and circumstances of the fishing industry
in each area wcre different.
'ishermen had not been given
blanket assistance
way as Prairie farmers because
fishermen already r ceive benefits unavailable to f rmers. He
mentioned unemployment insurance, salt payments and subsidies for boal-building
The minister added he "ad-
mit5" the amount of aid to the
Newfoundland
small, and that some communities suffer morc than others.
"It is a good scheme as far
as it goes. The amount is relatively comparable to the need,
and if it is administered so that
the benefits go where needed,
it will meet the requirements
of Newfoundland fishermen at
the time.
The scheme, announced late
last year by Prime Minister
Diefenbaker, takes account of
the failure of the inshore fisheries last year.
FAILED LAST YEAR
West Wins
Postponement Of
UN Congo Debate
By  JOSEPH MacSWEEN
UNITED NATIONS (CP) -
The West Tuesday killed a Russian demand lor an immediate
United Nations Security Council
debate on Thc Congo, causing
Soviet. Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin to cry ' gag."
The 11-mcmher council voted
7 fo 2 with two abstentions in
mpport of a United Slates motion to postpone lhc debate indefinitely on thc ground it would
merely cause confusion and
'nmagc.
Council President Sir Patrick
Dean of Britain repeatedly
•apped down Zorin, who. em-
speeches during the two - hour
speeihes during thc two-hour
session that consisted mostly of
procedural wrangles.
Dean ruled that U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was cor-
under U N dules in stating
that his adjournment motion
must be  voted on without  de
bate, and this broight from
Zorin the charge that he was
being "stifled" and "gagged."
BACKED BY WEST
Adjournment was supported
by the Western membcrs of the
council-the United States, Britain, France, Ireland, Chile and
Venezuela — and Nationalist
China. Communist Romania
joined the Soviet Union in opposition. The two Afr can members—Ihe United Arab Republic
and Ghana—abstained
Zorin formally challenged
Dean's ruling earlier and the
voting was the same
Stevenson noted that Congolese Premier Cyrillc Adoula—
due to arrive Thursday at UN
headquarters in Ncw York—had
opposed the Security Council
meeting as a Soviet "manoeuvre."
Adoula had said such a meeting would only "create confusion and damage to the Congolese people."
Mr. MacLean said trap fishing is extremely effective when
the cod come close to shore as
they normally do. But they
failed last year and numbers of
communities were hard pressed.
About $80,000 would go os
job-making projects under the
regular winter works program
under which the federal government foots half of the labor cost
and thc province and municipality pay Ihe rest.
Another $350,000 - including
provincial funds — would go towards a special program jointly
sponsored by the province and
federal government — with the
province paying 25 per cent
the labor cost. Some 415 settlements in eastern and southeastern Newfoundland — including
southern Labrador — would put
men to work on a wide variety
of local projects.
Mr. Carter said he doesn't object to the money being spent
but it seemed thin gruel compared with the acreage payment
—plus other regular assistance
—that Prairie farmer*- get. ■
