The Organization of American States and the UN Security Council called meetings today to discuss the situation between the Caribbean neighbors shar- ing the island of Hispaniola miles from Cuba. The Security Council was ex- pected to leave it to the OAS. Dominican President Juan " President Francois Duvalier '"'a madman," Tuesday night in a radio - television statement on the crisis, but indicated he is moving cautiously. Bosch said if the United States found the crisis grave enough to order the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Haiti, "'we shall continue to think the prob- lem is more serious for us." 'We have to be careful and vigilant," he declared. HINTS AT ALERT This seemed to hint at a state of alert rather than full-scale mobiliation or any intention of manded that all 22 Duvalier op- ponents in the Dominican Em- bassy in Port au Prince be al- jlowed to leave the country. But |he set no deadline. Previously, the Dominican government had accepted the Haitian promise that 15 would be allowed to leave and seven could be trans- ferred to the Colombian Em- bassy, which has been protect- ing all 22 since Haiti broke rela- tions with the Dominican Re- public and Dominican diplo- mats left Port au Prince.

The fire is believed to have started in a ground-floor cloak- room, but synagogue officials said the room had not been used for 2% hours before it broke out Tuesday night. Two teachers, a janitor and four: students escaped from a smoke - filled second - storey classroom down a maintenance ladder and a third teacher jumped 20 feet from the same floor. Six other students led by an instructor calmly marched to safety through dense smoke on the ground floor. About 300 students had left the $2,500,000 building on Bath- urst Street near Eglinton Av- enue a few minutes before the fire started about 7 p.m. The flames spread quickly them under control in half an hour, preventing the fire from spread beyond the building's west wing. It was not immediately known whether scrolls and silver arti- facts, many dating back to an- cient Israel and described by officials as "priceless," were destroyed or damaged . Some were stored in the mu- seum, but dense smoke pre- vented officials from entering it. Others were stored in the 3,000- seat sanctuary which suffered smoke damage. A 15-by-20foot mural, valued at more than $40,000, received smoke damage and officials were unable to determine if it could be restored. Plate-glass windows, some of them 30 feet high, were smashed and ornate corridors on the ground floor were badly charred. The synagogue held one of the largest conservative Jewish congregations in North America and had a membership of more through the seven - year - old building, but firemen brought! than 1,500 families. uled a special meeting in Wash- ington today. Informed sources there said the peace mission would seek broader powers in Haiti to make suggestions for a 'settlement. Canada announced it would start evacuations today. De- pendents of Canadian govern- ment employees were ordered to leave, and other Canadians were urged to do so. More than 600 Canadians--most of them Roman Catholic missionaries-- live in Haiti.

An airlift to evacuate famil- ies of U.S. officials from Haiti Rescue Workers Dig For Miners TOKYO (Reuters): -- Rescue workers digging through the night made little progress in their attempts to reach 15 Jap- anese miners trapped. alive when an undersea coal mine tunnel collapsed Tuesday in On- oda, southern Japan. Police said sand and _ rocks were hampering the rescue at- tempt. The mining company president said it might take sev- eral days to reach the trapped men. Gigantic Cleanup Job For Hay River People HAY RIVER, N.W.T. (CP)-- Battered buildings, wrenched from their foundations and thrown askew in a mixture of mud, ice: cakes and debris, pre- sented a monumental cleanup task today for residents of this flood-devastated island commu- nity. Mayor W. R. McBryan, in a telegram to Frank Cunningham, assistant deputy minister of northern affairs, said 97 of 100 ratepayers interviewed in a spe- cial poll favored rebuilding the town on another site. Hay River, on the south shore of Great Slave Lake is 500 miles north of Edmonton. It was understood that the new site might be on the main- land about seven miles up- stream from the present town. The silt - laden Hay River, cause of the floods that wrecked the centre section of the town, flowed swiftly through its dirty CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS ice-bordered channel into Great Slave Lake. On one street a house rested on top of a car. On another, the Legion Hall had settled on an angle about 20 feet from the outline of its original founda- tion. The Hudson's Bay Store staff house had popped from its lot, basement and all, and was tilted towards the sky. Houses were snagged on the edges of several roads and the main street was blocked at one point by a displaced building. "You have fo see it to believe it,"\. said John Morin, who had stafted building a new house be. fore the town was inundated a week ago. Oe He pointed to a cluster of wood pilings sun in a rectangu- lar pattern beside his present water-logged home.

Relations between Duvalier and the U.S. government have grown steadily worse in recent months. Opponents of Duvalier have threatened torevolt by May 15, and fears are growing that the dictator will unleash bloody reprisals against foreign- ers in general and Americans in particular. ' other meeting with United States Ambassador Walton But- terworth today in preparation for his flight Friday to Hyannis Port, Mass., for two days of talks with President Kennedy. Mr. Pearson said Tuesday that no new defence commit- ments are to be made in the Kennedy meetings, though ne- gotiations on nuclear warheads and other matters may be en- tered into as a result of the dis- cussion. "I don't consider it primarily a meeting for negotiation," Mr. Pearson told reporters after de- tailed plans for the Hyannis The status of Canada's de- fence commitments became the subject of three corridor inter- views with the prime minister Tuesday after an Ottawa dis- patch in the New York Times said that Mr. Pearson was likely to give Mr. Kennedy a commitment for the acceptance of nuclear arms.

The co - defendant, London businessman Greville M. Wynne, 44, countered that he had not realized fully "my ac- tual role'? until he went to Mos- cow. Penkovsky, also 44 and a So- viet scientific official, and Wynne both admitted at the start of their Soviet Supreme Court trial Tuesday that they had spied on Russia for the United States and Britain. Wynne pleaded guilty 'with res- ervations."' The Russian, accused of ped- dling secrets to the U.S. and Britain with Wynne acting as his liaison man, was asked by Court President Lt.-Gen. Viktor Borisoglebsky whether he agreed with a statement by Wynne's lawyer that the Briton merely had been a "chauffeur" in the transmission of material. "No," replied Penkovsky. Penkovsky, apparently read- from notes, said Wynne "con- stantly handed over materials, three times showed me photo- graphs of intelligence' and had invited the Russian to a "'con- spirative meeting place." This appeared to be a refer- ence to a house near London where Penkovsky has said he met Western intelligence agents during a trip to Britain and France in 1961. Penkovsky testified that he did not want to attack Wynne, whose attractive wife Shiela, 42, here from London, was in court again today. "He was not only a chauf- feur," Penkovsky added. "Wynne must not minimize his role." Asked by Gen. Borisoglebsky whether he agreed with the "chauffeur" description, Wynne replied: 'Chiefly I was to help Penkovsky during his stay in London. . ..

Penkovsky's testimony and the indictment named five Americans--including the U.S. embassy's former agricultural and assistant air attaches--as U.S. contacts of the Soviet de- fendant. Penkovsky said that in Au- gust, 1961, Wynne, his alleged liaison man, gave him a box of candy into which he was to put espionage films and give the box to one of the children of Mrs. Janet Ann Chisholm, wife of a former British embassy of- ficial, Roderick Chisholm.

The defence committee met for 2% hours Tuesday but, as usual with cabinet committees, there was no announcement aft- erward. One subject on which Mr. Pearson has set a deadline for/a Policy decision and which might involve additional commitments is the question of creating an inter-allied or multinational nu- clear force. The prime minister has said he expects the subject to be raised at the meeting of NATO ministers opening here May 22, and he hopes to have Canadian policy determined on it before then. The question of defence com- mitments caused a flurry at three catch-as-catch-can press conference with the prime min- ister Tuesday in the corridor outside the stained glass doors of the cabinet council room. of British intelligence who main- tained espionage contacts with Penkovsky through Wynne when the latter came to Moscow.

(CP)--Officials of Canada and other Common-' wealth countries today opened a two-day meeting in London as the Western world entered what could be an historic new phase of trade and tariff negotiations. The officials had a compara- tively modest role--to prepare' material for the Commonwealth trade ministers who will attend onday and Tuesday. Most of the ministers, includ- ing Canadian Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp, then will move on to Geneva for a meeting of the 44-country General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade, opening Thursday, May 16. All this activity is taking place at roughly the same time as two) other important trade meetings. The six - nation Common Mar- ket,. which recently excluded Britain, is meeting in Brussels and the British-led seven-nation European Free Trade Associa- tion starts in Lisbon Thursday. J. H.

Other countries taking part were Australia, Ceylon, Cyprus, the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, Ghana, India, Ja- maica, Malaya, Nigeria, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Tanganyika, Trinidad- Tobago and Uganda. Hong Kong, Kenya and Mauri- tius are represented by the col- onial office but also have their own officials -here. British informants have been discouraging speculation that the London talks contemplate any spectacular changes arising from Britain's exclusion from the Common Market. Instead, they would devote considerable time to the three main items of the GATT agenda --the so called 'Kennedy Monday Council meeting next led Can-| Rob Start On Trade, Tariff of obtaining greater access to world markets for agricultural and other primary productions; and means of expanding the trade of developing countries.

Baseball Star Plans To Aid Negro Protest NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Brooklyn Dodgers star Jackie inson said Tuesday he plans to go to Birmingham, Ala., the next week or two to take part in the mass protest against racial segregation there. More than 2,000 Negroes have been arrested in Birmingham. Robinson said he did not want to join the protestors in jail but that he would find some way to take part in their movement. The Negro former baseball star made the statement at a "back our brothers" luncheon attended by more t! 100 Ne- gro and white public officials and civic leaders. Robinson made public a telegram he has sent to President Kennedy which said in part: "Tt is my sincere belief that your, personal intentions are honorable. However, the pace at which our country is moving toward total equality for all peoples is miserably slow, as is being demonstrated in Birming- round" tariff reductions; means ham, Ala. The highway patrolmen began moving into the city late Tues. day and continued deploying from distant areas of the state through the night. SAYS WON'T STOP In the face of this develop- ment, the integration leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said: "Thig movement is get- ting bigger and bigger. There'll be no stopping until we move segregation from the city." Dr. King, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said more than one demonstration was planned dur- ing the day. He said there would be no end to the demonstrations until Negroes had gained these four things they wanted: Better job opportunities, de- segregation of all downtown public facilities, formation of a biracial committee with author- ity to solve all racial problems, and the dropping of charges og the arrested demonstra- ors.

There were these other devel- opments: : 1, President Kennedy and At- torney-General Kennedy kept in close touch with the situation. The president said he hoped that the racial problems could be solved by the people of Bir- mingham. 2, Governor Wallace, in @ speech before the Alabama leg- islature, threatened murder pro- secutions if the Negro demon strations result in violence and death.
