Harold Hodgson, wi heads a special squad assigned to investigate Monday night's robbery from the Boylen man- sion, said Interpol bas been asked to circulate a description of the jewelry collection since "there's no way of telling right now" whether it had already been smuggled out of Canada. A total of $15,000 in rewards have been offered for informa- tion about the robbery, in which four masked gunmen foreed their way into the Boylen home, son Police said the gunmen ap- Vice-President Escapes Unhurt During Clash o SANTO DOMINGO (Reuters) Vice-President Lyndon B.

Castro Venezuelan Liberation Front. Johnson, Betancourt and the other dignitaries were then es- corted from the reviewing stand. The recent seizure of the Venezuelan freighter Anzoategui while on a voyage to Houston, Tex., was carried out by mem- bers of the same pro-Communist rebel organization. 'anion negotiators parently knew about a last- minute change of plans that took Mr. and Mrs. Boylen on holiday to Florida instead of to New York; a change that even their son was not aware of. Meanwhile, Mr. Boylen apolo- gized for statements in which he linked foreign-born. "'riff- raff" with the theft and with being responsible for 90 per cent of the crime in Canada. *"T am very fond of foreign people," he said. "If I said any- thing that was' out of order I want to ize." He blamed the statements on anxiety about his son and anger over the robbery. He added that some of his remarks were misconstrued. "What I wanted understood was that there should be a screening .|}of persons entering Canada." The came too late to prevent a flood of denuncia- tions, Both the federal and provin- cial immigration departments produced figures to show that foreign-born residents of Can- ada commit only about half the crimes per capita of native-born Canadians. Federal Immigration Minis- ter Bell accused Mr. Boylen of allowing "his anger to outweigh his judgment and knowledge of the facts." He added that im- migrants are "properly entitled! / to resent. the insult." tion minister, John Yaremko, accused the millionaire of aj" "reprehensible slander" against the foreign born. Meanwhile, police in the wealthy Montreal suburbs. of Westmount and the town of Mount Royal said they believe) § the same robbers may have been active in the Montreal area, "In all instances, these men| were immaculately dressed and spoke perfect English,"' one po-| % lice spokesman said, "and only used violence as a last resort," He said the Boylen robbery resembled in particular a West- mount robbery in January where six residents were tied up and the bandits made off|§ with $76,000 in jewelry and furs. Ajax Strikers Voting Today sear GANA Tec ie jax and. Windsor are voting today, Proposals back with representatives of the Young Spring and Wire Corpor- ation of Canada Ltd. Nearly 300 members of the UAWA Local 1090 (Ajax) are voting in two shifts at the Ajax Union Hall.

Grievances centred on wage and working conditions. Campaigns Active Across Canada By THE CANADIAN PRESS Lester Pearson says a Liberal government will have to make some unpleasant decisions to "clean up the mess we are go- ing to inherit" after the April 8 election. Heading from Quebec into the Atlantic provinces, the Liberal leader declared: "A government that is worth its salt is not afraid to take un- pleasant decisions if it has to." He pledged direct action to stimulate the economy and to put men to work--including steps to raise the Atlantic prov- inces up to the employment and income level of the rest of Can- ada. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Diefenbaker headed by train into the West, where the other two party leaders--New Demo- crat T. C, Douglas and Social Crediter Robert Thompson--are already actively campaigning. NDP PROMISES CO-OPS Mr. Douglas, speaking at Beausejour, Man., promised that an NDP government would establish a co-operative devel- opment fund to help farmers own and operate processing and packaging plants to handle farm products. Also seeking farm votes, Agri- culture Minister Hamilton told a Moose Jaw meeting that he wants western farmers to grow 1,100,000,000 bushels of grain to meet export commitments. , In Red Deer, Alta., Social Crediter Thompson flayed the Liberals, saying that they weren't interested in passing leg islation in the last Parliament. "All that the Liberal party proved was that it was pre.

"People like that are not fit to govern the coun- try." Eric Kierans, president of the Montreal Stock Exchange--cri- ticized Social Credit politicians, warning that they could bring disaster to Canada. He said Social Credit promo- ters espouse a "humiliating" theory of something for nothing. ATTACKS INACTION At St. Hyacinthe, Que., Real Caouette, deputy Social Credit leader, attacked both the old parties and trade unions for not doing anything for the unem- ployed or proposing solutions to unemployment. Meanwhile, Mr, Diefenbaker left Ottawa to whistle stop across the country to Prince Al- bert, travelling in a special coach attached to the CNR's transcontinental train. In Shoal Lake, Man., North. ern Affairs Minister Dinsdale said the Liberals are making "brutal, vicious and unprin- cipled" attacks on Mr, Diefen- baker--so much so he added, that "'a great wave of sympathy now is moving in Mr. Diefen- baker's favor." In Winnipeg, External Affairs Minister Green suggested that the loss of Tory support from some eastern newspapers may be a blessing. . He told a press conference that the Liberals are in a "mess" on the nuclear issue be- cause they insist that Canada has a commitment to accept nu- clear warheads for its. forces. "We happen to be the govern- ment and I say there wasn't a commitment agreement signed Wé-Tave broken no commit ments."

The talks should be wrapped up in about a week or 10 days, Rear-Admiral Ignatius J. Gal- antin told The Associated Press. Galantin, a principal figure in the talks, disclosed that British naval experts had started out with the idea that they could save money by building smaller the American version. But, Galantin said, "'we were able to point out to the British" that they could save only about five per cent of the cost by li- miting their submarines to eight Polaris missiles rather than 16. This is because certain vital --and expensive--fire control, navigation and other special equipment would have to be mounted in the submarines re- siles. The British will four submarines, Galantin said, and 'we don't know whether they will go beyond four or not." USE U.S. FACILITIES? The technical talks now are revolving around the question of whether the British will use American training, test and other facilities or whether they |will provide their own.

However, the British would be spared the heavy development expenses and the costs of tool- ing up for production of such equipment. Prime Minister Macmillan said last month that if Britain decides to buy the most ad- vanced Polaris missile--a 2,880- mile range weapon--for its subs it will pay an additional five per cent of the production price as a share of development costs. However, he said that Brituin would be able to buy the exist- ing shorter range Polaris mis- siles at production prices with- out any contribution to the $2,- 000,000,000 already spent by the United States in research and development, Whatever cost savings the British may realize would prob- ably come in lower labor costs at their shipyards where the submarine hulls would be. built.

Leader PARIS (AP) -- Secret Army leader Antoine Argoud, cap- tured under mysterious circum- stances and charged with sub- versive activity, refused today to answer questions without his lawyers present. The former army colonel was found Tuesday trussed in a truck outside Notre Dame Cath- edral.

By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Co: t Premier Khrushchev's. latest pronouncements in the inter- minable dialogue with Commu- nist China may mean a Peking- Moscow meeting to explore the painful split in the world Com- munist front. This does not mean the rift is closing, but rather that Khrush- chev is anxious. to remove the war of words from public view and take it backstage. Russian-Chinese Talks Predicted this, Khrushchev has applied the soft answer to turn away Chinese wrath. Only hours after Peking lashed him violently, demand- ing an apology for his attitude in the quarrel over how world communism should be ad- vanced, Khrushchev replied with notable mildness. He reminded the Chinese-- and all those who side with Pe- king -- that only Moscow is strong enough to go to their aid tia for his role in the Algiers , revolt in. 1961, but with is' 4apture' that -verdict was automatically set aside.

Michael Starr, Minister of Labor, will officially start his sixth federal election campaign in Ontario Riding on March 5. His nomination was unopposed by close to 400 Progressive Con- servative party supporters in St. Gregory's Auditorium Wednes- day night. The 52-year-old cabinet minis- ter urged his supporters to stay with him in the coming election. "The greatest progress in Can- ada's history has been brought about with the Conservative gov- ernment in the last five and one- half years," he said. this industry have taken place Conservative government," said Mr. Starr. He quoted the presi- dent of General Motors as stat- ing that the demand for auto- mobiles is at an unprecedented level and that the outlook for 1963 is even better than the rec- ord year, 1962. Mr, Starr also quoted Presi- dent Malcolm Smith, of Local 222, UAW, as saying that 1962 was the most prosperous year that the workers in General Motors and other affiliated plants had ever had. He further "Tory times are good times. Right here in Oshawa it is evi- dent that ours is not the 'sick, stagnant' economy so often re- ferred to by other parties," said Mr, Starr. He referred to the increased number of General Motors' employees since the Conservatives came to power. CAR PRODUCTION UP In 1957, GM employees in Osh- awa totalled 12,267. Today this figure has increased to 14,275. Car production has almost doubled in that' same period of time and Canadians are buying these cars because they are en- joying an era of prosperity.
