Mr. Sevigny, 45, is the son of a forme: Conservative cabinet GORDON CHURCHILL Appointment of Senator Mc- Cutcheon, 56 - year - old cigar- smoking financier, was the one real surprise in today's amr nouncement. Last week, despite his repeated denials, he had been linked with a group of min- isters reported on the point of resigning. Mr. Churchill, 64, teacher and lawyer who has been a close personal friend of Mr. Diefen- baker for many years, is a vet- eran of both World Wars. He was trade minister in the first cabinet formed by Mr. Diefen- baker in 1957 and shifted to the less onerous veterans affairs post in the fall of 1960 in a ma- jor cabinet shuffle: He has been government House leader in the Commons since mid-1959, responsible for directing the "day-to-day busi- ness. Not included in today's an- nouncement was Gordon Chap- lin, 56-year-old industrialist and MP for Waterloo South in the ported as a possibility for the trade post. Both Mr. Hees and Mr. Se- vigny in letters of resignation Saturday indicated a belief that|tion the government is dragging its feet on commitments to acquire nuclear arms for Canadian forces. Both also expressed concern that the government is heading ister and one of the party's most effective campaigners. An officer in the army during the Second World War, he lost his right leg above the knee in the Dieppe raid. REACTION CAME QUICK The resignations, coming as the political parties made plans for the ele ction campaign brought quick reaction from Mr. Diefenbaker's political op- ponents. Liberal leader Pearson said they confirm, despite earlier de- nials, deep divisions in the cabi- net which would appear to be threatening breakup of the gov- ernment. Social Credit leader Thompson said they prove the Progressive Conservative party in a sham- bles. He said lack of leadership by Mr. Diefenbaker destroyed the last Parliament which dis- solved Wednesday and Mr. Die fenbaker now was taking his party to oblivion.

Trade Hikes Canada's Surplus OTTAWA (CP)--For the sec- ond time in a decade Canada/per had a trade surplus last year, due largely to a striking in- crease in business with the United States. Trade with Brit- ain went down. The bureau of statistics today) reported an over-all gain in to- tal trade of eight per cent to $12,616,100,000. Exports ad- vanced 7.7 per cent to $6,347,-) 800,000 while imports rose at al slightly faster rate of 8.6 per) cent to $6,268,300,000. All three figures are record] ighs. | Net result was a Canadian merchandise trade surplus of $79,500,000, the second one in a row. In 1961 the surplus was $124,100,000, the first surplus since of the U.S. dollar--was attrib-| uted by the bureau for part! of the increase in both export! and import values. But it said "a significant gain" also was re- corded in the real physical vol- ume, Newsprint remained Canada's biggest-selling product in world markets, despite a slight decline in sales.

Fog in London Sunday de- layed the departure of the So- viet TU-114 airliner. Thomson, who had a two-hour interview Sunday with Soviet Premier Khrushchev, today }called him a "most impressive personality . .. a real human being."

"TI feel that in that direction lies the promise of an eventual end to the cold war." Thomson said he did not ex- pect Khrushchev to agree to his request that his newspaper, The Sunday Times, be put on sale in Moscow. But he added: 'I would hope that in due course the distribu- papers would be permitted POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 | j|here has, ne in the Soviet Union."

Everything in Moscow is ade- quate but not Juxurious or color- ful," Thomson said. William Hammond, a mem- ber of the party who tried to find out if the Russians would buy scotch whisky, said he found they appeared willing to consider it -- in exchange for British imports of vodka "for which they have a high target." Thomscn earlier said he will suggest a Russian visit to Brit- ain similar to the one he led to Moscow. Thomson told a reception Sun- day night: "The barriers of mis- rs! ing and distrust which have separated us in past years must come down. "T am sure that I am speak- ing for all my guests when I Say that we shall do our part to ensure that this happens. And I know that you, too, under the leadership of your able leader, Chairman Khrushchev, will also do your part." He believed much of the mis- understanding in the world was due to the fact that there was not enough "contact of one people with another." While Anglo-Soviet relations had not been too cordial in the past he believed he was "not too optimistic in saying there sides now." TOURED MOSCOW The businessmen toured Mos- cow Sunday in cold, bright sun- shine, almost indistinguishable rented fur hats and heavy coats. Many of the group, including Thomson, filed through the red- and-black granite mausoleum) housing the emblamed body of V. I. Lenin. They also admired Moscow's favorite Sunday winter sports spot--the Lenin hills crowded with skiers and people riding sleds--and drove past the tow- ering post-war. Lomonossov un- iversity. VISITS KHRUSHCHEV Thomson on Saturday had a two-hour Kremlin interview with Khrushchev, during which the Soviet premier rejected a suggestion that Britain, Russia end the United States might one day be linked in opposition to China. In the almost unprecedented interview, Thomson, -who now lives in London and controls newspapers and television sta- ticns in several countries, told the Russian leader: "T look forward to the day when the Soviet Union, Britain and America are all going to be one big happy family op- posed to the Chinese." "That day will not come,' r plied Khrushchev.

After this is done, however, a Liberal government would ne- gotiate a "logical, coherent" de- fence policy with its allies cover- ing commitments beyond those the country has already ac- cepted, This new policy likely would be non-nuclear but would langely depend on developments in weapons technology. The resolution was approved 28 to 7. Earlier, the convention had voted 63 to 9 an amendment providing that Canada not ac- cept nuclear weapons unless it is unsuccessful in renegotiating a non-nuclear role for its armed forces. This amendment was put for- ward by Richard Comber of the University of Waterloo. He is a national vice-president of the Canadian universities Cam- paign for Nuclear Disarmament.
