Single-nation aid programs have a "susceptibility to politi- cal influences, whether overt or otherwise." Black called this "my most serious criticism of bilateral aid programs." He ar- gued that, on political grounds, the donor country may provide so much money that needed re- forms are forsaken or non-es- sential frills undertaken--like a new sports stadium when high- ways are primitive or an air- port terminal when parched but fertile farmland is left unirri- gated. 3.

A preamble to the draft says the party's main aim is to in- crease production and stimulate economic growth with the sole purpose of meeting the needs! of the consumer. "Many people in our wealth- jest communities live in misery because wealth and the power to make decisions are concen- trated in a few hands... ,"' it says. "In these days of huge organ-| izations, both public and pri- vate, the individual and his family are offen helpless.

Karl Mertens, 491 Wilson road north, said that he saw an object, bluish-white in color and -"very. bright', travel slowly across the sky from south-west to north- east. Mr. Mertens was work- ing the night shift at Coulter Manufacturing. "I was on my break and happened to look up and see this bright object with a v'-shaped tail moving across the sky. I called a fellow-worker, Albert Turpin but he came only in time to see the shiny trail left after the bright light." Dr. J. F. Herd said he re- ceived a similar report at the observatory early today. "Judging from the excite- ment of the lady who call- ed, it must have been an impressive sight," he said. "I can only theorize that it was a bright meteor, or "fireball" as it's often call- ed. These are caused by iron particles hitting the earth's atmosphere." Dr. Herd said only a com- paratively few sightings of this nature are reported an- nually, He said if more peo- ple report seeing this object, he will forward their names and subsequent information received to Ottawa for fur- ther study. ear s Talks By Business, Labor VANCOUVER (CP) -- Repre- sentatives of management, la- bor, government and consumer today took over the 33rd annual convention of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. | The 500 delegates--represent-|ernment to keep watch on the ing 300 of the 850 member] interests of the housewife. chambers and boards of trade} which make up the Canadian| managing director of Simpsons, Chamber--heard domestic and foreign trade and| should be the reward for tak- on the relationship of business/ing the risks of business" an to labor, government and the|argued against housewife. speeches on Then they. discussed what disarmament, nuclear testing,/they had heard. colonialism and a host of eco-| J.

Native Papuans in the cen- tral highlands of this territory still live in the stone age and have little or no contact with white men. Since the Dutch - Indonesian cease-fire Aug. 15, the depar- ture of women and children has been accelerated. Many depen- dants of Dutch officials began leaving more than a year ago when the Indonesigns threat- ended military action to re- cover what they claimed to be LONDON (CP) -- Common. wealth prime ministers met to- day for the difficult task of drafting a communique cover- ing their week of strained dis- cussions on Britain's bid to join the'Common Market. It appeared likely that a ma- jor last-minute effort would be made around the Marlborough House conference table to smooth over their differences and strike a positive, construc. tive note. F] Prime Minister Diefenbaker, marking his 67th birthday, was reported to be sounding out Commonwealth reaction to his surprise proposal for a free world conference aimed at re- ducing international trade bar- rs. So far, reaction has been mainly cool with little enthusi- asm for the idea evident in the statements of 'other prime min- istérs who have commented on it. The Canadian delegation has indicated it doesn't expect to given every sign of determina- tion to pursue his government's policy of entering the Common Market, But he again reassured the other prime ministers that the terms would be "fair." He summed up the debate in a 50-minute speech. He told of the passing of Brit- ain's traditional power balanc- ing role in world affairs. It was a role, he said, that had gone on unchanged for 300 years until the rise of the American and Russian giants. But there were changes of new techniques, discoveries and power relations and Britain must chose new methods or risk the loss of her influence. Macmillan stressed the im- portance for the world of events in Europe where old feuds were being replaced by new friend- ships. Britain he said, could help to lead the advance toward the new frontiers. Mentioning that everybody has recognized that the decision is for Britain and Britain alone, Macmillan said: 'We are inde. although we have not win outright approval for the Diefenbaker proposal in the fi- ssels negotiations with the six-nation European Eco- nomic Community, while still making clear Commonwealth disapproval of the trade terms worked out so far, GIVES GUIDE Prime Minister Menzies of Australia gave the conference a guide to the communique when he said his government's posi- tion on the Common Market hasn't changed, but that the conference should -produce a positive statement of principles "and not end in a sterile ex- pression of disagreement." Britain's Prime Minister Macmillan, evidently breathing easier after last week's assault of Commonwealth criticism, has part of the former Dutch East Indies. Of a total Dutch population of about 16,000, only 400 to 500 will remain after Oct, 1. These are mostly Dutch officials who plan to be home by Christmas. Although the United Nations is offering double salaries to the Dutch who remain during the transition, only a handful are willing to stay. Many homes are for sale but there are no buyers. Business in Hollandia has been almost paralyzed since the Banks have stopped credits. Woman, 26, Shot In Beverage Room TORONTO (CP) -- A man was charged with attempted murder today after a 26-year- old woman was shot in the arm and upper leg by an as. sailant in a Toronto beverage room. Police said the woman, Rose Stasko, suffered three bullet wounds in the thigh and one in up to her table and fired sev- eral shots from an automatic pistol.
