(CP) Prime Minister Pearson and President Kennedy have moved swiftly towards the decision. making stage on major Canada. U.S. issues, preparing the way for @ new era in intensified per- sonal diplomacy between th two leaders, Saying he plans to see the president in the future "as often as possible," Pearson indicated at a press conference Friday night that the two leaders have reached an understanding on the question of providing Can. ada with nuclear warheads for its Bomarc anti - aircraft mis- siles and Voodoo jet fighters. As Kennedy stood by his side nodding agreement, Peer- son also said that labor leaders on both sides will be called into a meeting in an attempt to re- solve Great Lakes shipping strife involving the Seafarers International Union of Canada and the Canadian Maritime Un. jon. U.S. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz and George Meany, AFL. CIO president, will meet with Canadian Labor Minister Alian MacEachen and Claude Jodvin, resident of the Canadian La- Congress, in efforts to avoid future incidents affecting the Upper Lakes Shipping Limited of Toronto. The-time and place is to be set later. AGREE HANDILY Officials who attended the first day of the two-day summit talks said more agreement was reached between Canada and the U.S., in nine hours of discus- sions than had been reached in the last 12 months. Pearson did not give out de- he "t want to Joint ri ake issued about 1 p.m. EDT But he taptaioed there waste of time in the ions, He was extr2mely Pleased with the warm, friendly reception he had received from Kennedy and the speed with which they were moving to eliminate the jarring period of @isharmony that characterized relations in Previous months. Pearson told reporters at the impromptu press conference that the communique definitely would refer to the arming of Canada's Bomare misstics and air force units with nuclear war- heads, Kennedy, speaking warmly of his conversation with Pearson, said they had made "good prug- ress" in discussing six broad items during the day. They added to the list Friday night with a dinner table discussion on East-West relations and the situation in Laos, Canada is a member of the three-man inter- national control commission stationed there. TO REVIVE CHANNELS Pearson spoke specifically of the need of reviving and in'ens- ifying channels of communica- tions between the two govern. ments, including the various de- fence, economic and other com- mittees which had been set up to resolve specific issues but which had not functioned to any extent in the last year of ,the Diefenbaker government * But he stressed the need also of seeking channeis of commu- nications outside the "ordinary" course of government channels --an indication of increased per- sonal exchanges between the two leaders. Pearson said he re- alized Kennedy was the busier man, suggesting thereby that he might have to call more often on Kennedy than Kennedy would on Pearson. 'But undoubtedly revived mo- mentum of the ministerial meet- ings would remove some of the load of personal diplomacy.

The idea of the four - way meeting came from the first round of talks between Prime Minister Pearson and President Kennedy at Hyannis Port, Mass., Friday. In effect, the two leaders tossed the problem of labor strife and shipping disruptions on the lakes to their respective labor chiefs -- Canadian Labor Minister Allan MacEachen and U.S. labor. secretary Willard Wirtz. It was left to Mr. MacEachen and Mr. Wirtz to set the time and place of the meeting with President Claude Jodoin of the Canadian Labor Congress and AFL - CIO President George Meany. The two labor leaders head the central labor bodies in their respective countries. AGREES TO MEET At Vancouver, Mr, Jodoin said Friday he has agreed to meet with Geo Meany, president of the A 0 to discuss the Great Lakes labor dispute. He said he received a com- munication from Labor Minis- ter MacEachen asking if he is willing to attend such a confer. ence and he agreed. Date and site of the conference has not yet been decided. One man not invited to the discussions was Mr. Justice T. G. Norris who spent seven months investigating the terror, violence and power plays that have dominated labor relations tm the shipping industry on the Great Lakes. The judge is working now on his report to the federal gov- ernment, which he may deliver later this month or carly in June. Labor troubles on the Great Lakes stem from a fight be- tween the CLC and American. born Hal C. Banks, president of the 15,000 - member Seafarers' International Union of Canada. The congress says Mr. Banks runs the union as a "hoodlum empire" and wants it outlawed from Canada. Mr. Banks, on the other hand, is supported by Paul Hall, SIU chief in the United States and head of the powerful Maritime a Department of the AFL- clo, | The CLC set up the Canadian Maritime Union in 1961 to offer Canadian lake sailors an alter. native to the SIU, So far, the CMU has won only a toehold on the lakes, representing some 400° crewmen aboard ships of the Upper Lakes Shipping. Lim. arrested and fire hoses and police dogs brought into play to control seething throngs Negro demonstrators. Integration forces -- led by Rev, Martin Luther King Jr., of Atlanta--had kept the city aeaned under siege since April As the Negroes began gather- ing volunteers for a door-to- door registration campaign, city leaders were adamant in their statements that the agreement was not binding on them. Police Commissioner Eugene (Bull) Connor, a staunch segre- gationist who directed the ar- rests and repulsed the crowds, said the agreement was "the lyingest face-saving statement that ever was issued'.' "We've licked them and licked them good,"' he declared. WON'T INTERFERE Connor, however, said he would not interfere if business- men wished to integrate their lunch counters--one of the key points King said was agreed upon by the group. King said the agreement pro- vided: 1, Desegregation of lunch counters, rest rooms, fitting rooms and drinking fountains in downtown stores in planned Stages within the next 90 days. 2. The upgrading and hiring of Negroes on a non-discrimina- tory basis, incliding the hiring of Negroes as clerks and sales- ited. men within the next 60 days. 3, Arrangements for the re- lease of all persons arrested during racial demonstrations on bond or personal recognizance. 4, Communications between Negroes and white persons to be re-established within the next two weeks, The agreement has no official composed group of businessmen, accord- ing to its chairman, Sidney Smyer, a lawyer and real es- tate broker. Smyer is the only person on the group _ whose name has been made public, No reason has been given for the anonymity of the committee. Mayor Albert Boutwell says the agreement is not binding on the newly-chosen mayor and city council, SHOWS GOOD FAITH Nevertheless, King has indl- cated he would call off demon- strations on the basis of the good faith agreement--at least until the city has had a chance to consider the proposed agree- ment. Originally, the Negroes sought to have all charges dropped against arrested dem- onstrators. Nearly all Negroes arrested have been released on Tow Truck Lifts Vehicle Off Man HAMILTON (CP)--A 21-year- old truck driver, critically in- jured when his 10-ton dump truck overturned in an accident and trapped him, remained par- tially conscious for 45 minutes Friday while a tow truck gin- gerly lifted the vehicle so he could be freed, Howard Loft of Hamilton was in critical condition in hospital with leg and back injuries and possible internal injuries.

Defiance of the advice, a source here said, could lead to prosecutions in Canadian courts for violating air regulations. The dispute was not expected to go that far, however, the source indicated, Airlines were expected to back down on their Sunday fare increase and try for a compromise of some sort at a special conference that has been called for next Thursday in Bermuda. Canada and the United States are opposed to the increase, contending it isn't justified.

Canada Against UN In Laos Bid | OTTAWA (CP)--Canada has made suggestions to the United Nations concerning possible UN moves in the Middle East if the situation there deteriorates, it was learned Friday. External Affairs minister Paul Martin has _ personally talked with UN headquarters on the subject, which arises from Jordan's difficulties with the United Arab Republic and the continued hostility between Is- rael and the Arab states. The Canadian government is thinking along the lines of a UN presence in Jordan rather than any extension of the UN emergency force's duties into Jordan, The latter might make the situation more tense, it is felt here. Canada has the largest con- tingent in UNEF--950 officers and men -- and 18 Canadian army officers are serving in the UN truce supervisory or- JURY PROBES GUARD'S DEATH MONTREAL (CP)--A French war hero who bosses Canada's toughest penitentiary and two guards have been found crimi- nally negligent by a coroner's jury in the death of a guard grabbed as a hostage May 2 by two prisoners. Both prisoners were also found criminally neg- ligent. Warden Michel LeCerre, 43, holder of the French Croix de Guerre, and two guards at St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary were ruled criminally negligent Friday night by a five-man cor. oner's court jury. Earlier this week statements supporting the warden's action in the crisis were issued by Allen J, MacLeod, federal com. missioner of penitentiaries, and Roland LeFrancois, president of a Civil Service Association 0. cal representing 600 guards. CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS The jury -- after deliberating 55 miutes -- found, however. that the warden behaved "has- tily" and without "serious con. sideration" in ordering three POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 guards armed with pistols to storm a cell where guard Ray- mond Tellier, 35, was held, flOSPITAL 723-2211 bound hand and foot. ior of the cell was obscured be- cause the bars were coverd with b.ankting and there were no lights when the guards at. tacked, two of them with pis. tols blazing. GUARD, PRISONER DIE Tellier died later and so did one of the prisoners, Marcel Marcoux, 34. The other pris- oner, Marcoux' cousin Claude Marcoux, 21, was wounded. Both prisoners were also found criminally negligent after the jury heard five hours of testimony. ; The verdict, delivered in French, said in part: ". . , Guard Raymond Tellier died a violent death following criminal negligence with the re- sponsibilities attributable to: "1, Prisoners Marcel and Claude Marcoux (cousins). | "2. Guards Alphonse Desorm- eaux and Aurele Martel who ex- hibited. a negligence, possibly without thinking, but extremely| grave in nature, before using! their firearms. | "3. The senior official of St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, Prison Warden Blamed sponsibility to save human lives," CROWN NOT OBLIGED The finding means there is no obligation on the Crown to lay charges. Had the jury found anyone "criminally respon- sible" for Tellier's death, he would face charges decided upon by the provincial attorney- general . Ballistics showed the two dead men were struck by gun. shots fired by Alphonse Des- ormeaux, one of the three guards the warden ordered to invade the cell. Desormeaux has 29 years ex- perience as a guard and was considered something of a sharpshooter. An autopsy also showed Tel- lier suffered a number of stab wounds and testimony at the in- quest indicated they were in- flicted by the dead prisoner.

DEATH VERDICT | SOVIET SPY TRIA UK Businessman Draws 8 MOSCOW--A Soviet military' tribunal today sentenced former Soviet government official Oleg Penkovsky to death for spying and ordered his British accom- plice, businessman Greville Wynne, confined for eight years. The two men were convicted after a five-day trial, Verdict and sentences were read out in the final session by the court president, Lt.-Gen, Viktor Bor- isoglebsky. Wynne, 44, earlier admitted acting as a courier for official secrets between Penkovsky, a scientific worker, and British intelligence agents. Wynne's sentence. was broken down to three years in prison and the remainder in a correc- tive labor camp. Penkovsky was stripped of all his medals, colonel's rank and Second World War decorations. The corwd of Russians broke into 30 seconds of applause as the sentences were read.

His voice boomed out: "In the name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics The court judgment said a group of staff members at the United States and British em- bassies had used their official positions to aid Penkovsky and Wynne in their spying.
