Nine more deputies were due from Elisabethville today.

They were Albert Homes, shot to death last summer, and Albert Agueci of Toronto, whose strangled and burned body was Prober Claims Infiltration Of Mine-Mill WASHINGTON (AP)--A hear- ing examiner has recommended that the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers be declared a Communist-infil- trated organization, Attorney- General Robert F. Kennedy an- nounced today. If the recommendation of ex- aminer Francis A. Cherry is adopted by the Subversive Ac- tivities Control Board, the union will be ineligible to bargain for or represent U.S. employees un- der the National Labor Rela- tions Act.

Nearly 150 witnesses were heard, more than 300 exhibits were introduced and 9,721 pages of testimony were recorded.

APPEAL TOO LATE Nehru Recounts Invasion Hours NEW DELHI (Reuters) --| Prime Minister Nehru disclosed today that Indian troops invaded Portuguese Goa a few hours after the United States appealed to him for a six-month mora- torium on the use of force. Nehru told a press conference the U.S. approach "came so late it was almost physically impos- sible to reverse processes al- ready started." The prime minister also dis- closed the invasion was twice postponed and his government hesitated "almost to the end" over the use of armed action. Nehru said the U.S. approach was made Dec. 17 on the eve of the invasion through the Indian ambassador in Washington and the American ambassador here, Kenneth Galbraith, He said the U.S. in a 'rather vague message" urged him to announce a six-month delay in the use of force pending efforts by "some powers to try to evolve a means to solve the Goa problem." Nehru said "if there had' been any real thing to hold on to we would have tried our best." OFFERED LITTLE HOPE But he said to halt the planned invasion '"'with nothing coming out of it was not a feasible pro- position."

Gandhi's teachings of non- violence. "The world of colonialism is dead. If it wants to come back, if any attempt is made to bring it back, the world will go up in flames. It will not be toler- ated." The Indian leader said he had no doubt in his mind about the full justification of using force against the Portuguese but added: "I did not want to use it because of certain conse- quences outside India." "Such things open the door to certain kinds of action by others. That's why to the end almost I did not want to take this ac- tion." REPLIES TO CRITICISM Referring to Western criti- cism, the Indian leader claimed Portugal had been encouraged by "'some big powers" and by the North Atlantic alliance in its "intransigent attitude." "I do not mind strong lan- |guage being used against me or against India," he said. "It is something to be told one was reat even if one is not great voy in Washington 'did not give much hope of results."

OTTAWA (CP)--An appeal for sufficient resources to en- able Canada's younger, newly developing universities meet the increasing demand for higher education was voiced today by Davidson Dunton, president of Carleton University. "It is more and more obvious that as the number of qualified young Canadians seeking higher education swells, a high share of the increased load is coming upon the younger, newly devel- oping universities such as Carle- ton," he says in the university's sixth annual president's report. However, it was up to the pub- lic and their representatives to understand that, to find room for the growing number of stu- dents and at the same time to preserve standards, 'resources allocated to university work will have to grow geometrically in pected Western criticism would be"ps strong as it was. the next few years." _ oa As far as Carleton University Dunton Appeals For College Aid is concerned, he says, the Cana- dian crisis in higher education for the 1960s had already ar- rived. "Carleton will be under heavy strain in the next few years trying to meet the needs. of a minimum number of teachers, and adequate physical facilities, for the students who will be ask- ing for admission." GROWING FAST Within the next three acade- mic years the university might have to double its enrolment to at least 3,000. In 1960-61 enrol- ment had increased by 35 per cent to 1,167, a rate of growth about three times that of the national average of Canadian universities. Mr. Dunton's report also urges that high priority be given to providing a strong foundation for eventual university trai while youngsters still are a high school. {
