NBUL --AP Wirephoto INTERPRETING THE NEWS By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer President Eisenhower appears to have torpedoed the possibility of bipartisan congressional sup- port of United States summit pol- icy by prescribing a situation un- der which Vice-President Rich- ard Nixon might replace him temporarily at the Paris summit meeting. Normally when the president meets with other world leaders on international issues, his sec- ond in command and chief ad- viser is his state secretary, in this case Christian Herter, and when the president leaves the conference, he hands over his place to his second in command. However, Eisenhower has been seeking to increase the vice-pres- ident's workload, though his mo- tives in this presidential election year may be open. to question, Nixon is likely to be the Repub- lican's p:esidential choice and the Democrats have accused Eisenhower of attempting to en- hance Nixon's political prestige by thrusting him into the inter- national limelight. Eisenhower has stated that if it becomes necessary for him to rush back Washington to get to university students staged South Africa Show Economic Strength needlessly.

UNLIKELY SITUATION Eisenhower emphasizes he does Nevertheless if it developed, Nixon would replace him. What tends to add to questions about Eisenhower's motives ir this election year is that he set May 23-24 as dates for his visit to Portugal, This is just one week after the Paris meeting gets under way. Why he picked May 23-24 is not clear. Evidently it is based on the view that the Paris meeting will last no more than & week. Yet Risenhower says the big powers agreed there should be no time limit that the summit mee! ing should be given as much time as necessary. Fifty-five Democrat congress- men immediately accused Eisen- hower of playing politics with the summit, Certainly it would be of tremendous advantage for Nixon to be involved in the develop ment of some plan which would ease world tensions and increas possibilities of a more secure peace. OTHER VIEWS And yet as one newspaper edi torial suggested, it is fair for Nixon to be there and not each of the Democratic presidential hopefuls? And what of Herter's position?

Sarnia realator Donald B. White told the hearing that In- dian locatees--land owners on the reserve--received up to $200 in advance when they signed their options, but Chief Adams got $2, "He wanted more than the others," Mr. White said. "He fornia." Mr. White, who began negotia- tions with the Indians for the Crown Trust Company, said lo- catees received $100 each after they voted on an agreement to surrender the land. He explained that the money would be de- ducted from the price the Indians would receive for the land and sald the advance Jas made Ad tion ause iwas heristmas and several Indians had asked for the advance. They voted to accept the Crown Trust deal Dee. 19, 1958.

He suggested the Union Na- tionale wasn't interested in par- ticipating because the act was fathered by a Liberal government in Ottawa. Now that more friendly relations prevailed with the accession of a Progressive Conservative government, Mr. Barrette might be willing to en- ter a highway agreement DECLINES PARTICIPATION Mr. Walker, describing Mr, Denis as 'the Bob Hope of the Commons," declined to have any part in "reading the mind of Mr. Barrette' for the benefit of the Liberals in the Commons and the Liberal opposition in the Quebec election campaign.

Dimensional bought 3,100 acres of the reserve for $6,521,946 or about $2200 an acre, then resold 176 acres to Hydro for $1,250,000 or about $7000 an acre. Hydro, which needed the land for a transformer station, was unable to buy directly from the Indians because the Indians wanted Hydro to locate in an- other part of the reserve where ite lines would not lower land values. TO TAKE ACTION yer for Dimensional, told the commission his client would take legal action against the Toronto Star and Sarnia Observer under the Libel and Slander Act for un- gested his client used bribery in obtaining the land. Mr. Justice McGillivray agreed the headlines. "It was clear enough money said. "But it was not what the average person would 'perhaps look upon as a bribe."

Put coins in a slot--and out come the eggs. Carter's elec- tric hen delivers the eggs--but, of course, it doesn't lay them. "Someday we'll get around to that, too," he said. Carter said his electric hen serves two purposes: "It saves the farmer time and it saves the motorist going out of his way to drive up to the farmer's house, get out, knock at the door and buy his eggs." Carter has his electric hen down by the side of the high- way. She is five feet tall, three feet wide and holds 432 eggs. Inside, contains 72 compartments, each holding a half dozen eggs.

WILL NEED MILLIONS This has raised speculation here that the premier - finance minister may have in mind the day when millions of dollars will be needed to finance the vast Columbia River power project whose total cost is estimated at $1,200,000,000. The federal government has of- fered B.C. some Columbia River development money at %sth of one per cent above the market in- terest rate. The premier has said he'll take it "if we can't do better elsewhere." But his financial con- ferences, especially in New York and Montreal, may indicate he's already looking elsewhere, Mr. Bennett will take with him Dr. J. V.

It will be followed by an evening dinner given by the mayor of Westminster. Mr. Bennett will do some sight- seeing, including the new towns, the London - Birmingham motor- way and new developments in Birmingham and other districts. Before he departs aboard the Queen Mary June 9 for New York he'll confer with the chairman and directors of Booker Brothers and McConnell ard Company Ltd. In New York there will be a conference with financial interest and in Toronto he'll be tendered a dinner by investment interests as he passes through that city en route home. MAY TRY SOFT-SELL The premier has said he's not going to high - pressure British business men on trade. But he would like to see more two-way trade between the United King- dom and the province with which it has traditional ties. B.C. - United Kingdom trade al- ready is substantial and has been growing every year since the war, In 1959 the province exported through her ports $177,000,000 worth of goods to Britain and im- ported $93,000,000 worth from that country. Not all was for B.C. Some were exports from other provinces going via B.C. and some of the imports were de- stined elsewhere in Canada. In 1958 the figures were $167,- 000,000 worth of exports and $57,» 000,000 worth of imports.
