The 50-year-old society osteopath introduced Christine, 21, to
Profumo. in 1961, and also to
Ivanov. Profumo resigned in disgrace June 5 after it became
clear the liaison could not be

1 posal involves a matter which
all thc NATO allies would have
to consider, not just the United
States.
The United Stales and Britain
prefer a comprehensive treaty
banning all atomic testing, including underground, enforced
by effective controls. But they
have offered a partial ban
against testing in the atmosphere, in space and underwater
in the past and the United States
still beiieves this would be a
forward step.
Officials suggested that undersecretary of state W. Averell
Harriman, who leaves late next
week for test ban negotiations
in Moscow, will have a ready-
made opportunity to study the
Kremlin stand.
The officials also said the U.S.
government has not yet arrived
; at: a definite position concerning
j Khrushchev's offer although
j Kennedy gave it top priority in
I his first day back from his European trip.
Complicating Kennedy's task
was the ambiguity nf Khrushchev's phrasing. The Soviet
chief proposed an agreement to
outlaw atmospheric and underwater tests and said it is necessary to have a NATO-Warsaw
non-aggression pact, "at the
conclusion of a test-ban agreement."
Iraq Crushes Red
Coup Attempt
DAMASCUS, Syria <AP> -
Iraq's government announced
its troops and police crushed an
attempted Communist coup
Wednesday at thc Al Rashid
army camp near Baghdad.
The insurgent "Communists
and hired agents" werc "annihilated in 30 minutes of fighting," the national revolutionary
council declared in a statement
broadcast by Radio Baghdad.
The broadcast gave no-figures
on the size of the rebel band or
the casualties, but said some
were under arrest. It said the
prisoners were under investigation by a board of inquiry. The
Communist party is outlawed in
Iraq,
The uprising was the sccond
major conspiracy reported
smashed by the council since it
overthrew and executed dictator
Abdel Karim Kassem last Feb.
8-9 in a revolt triggered from
Al Rashid, the most important
military base in Iraq.
The first was attributed lo
Nasseritcs. A wave of security
raids netted Iraqi backers c'
U.A.R. President Nasser'
brand of Arab nationalism after
the council announced May 25
it had foiled a plot by opportunist elements to overthrow it and
"drown the country in a sea of
blood.1 '
Meanwhile Iraqi military
forces were in the fourth week
of a revived campaign to crush
the Kurdish rebels of Mustafa
Barzani. The army claims to
have inflicted heavy casualties
and made significant inroads on
holdings of the Kurds n mountains and villages of the north.

Planted Bombs In Mail Boxes
MONTREAL (CP - A quiet,
baby-faced youth wylh no previous training in the business
described in court Wednesday,
how he assembled lo dynamite
time-bombs and placed five of

Gilles Pruneau, 19-year-old
clerk, said he handed the other
five to Denis Lamouretix, 20,
who was to drop them in other I
mailboxes in the same area, a
west-central residential   suburb.
Pruneau was testifying as a
crown witness, under the protection of the court, at. the preliminary hearing of Lamoiireux
on a charge of conspiring to
cause a dynamite explosion,
likely, to endanger life and
cause property damage
Both are named as co-conspirators along with Mario
Bachand, 20, Pierre Schneider,
19, and Francois Gagnon, 19.
All five are among 18 persons
facing a variety of charges in
connection with terrorist activities last spring by an underground group called le Front de

had placed a long list of proposals before parliamen . It had
kept its pledge to take more

"Everything cannot be done
at once," he said.
Mr. Chevrier spoke after J.
A. Habel (L— Cochrane) said
the government would act o
promise once the most pressing
economic problems of the country are solved.
The issue arose as the House
continued to debate a government supply motion, ra sing the
traditional, grievance procedure.

The grievance was brought up
by Clement Vincent (PC—Nico-
