The Canadian government also wants to boost Canadian air carrier business in the U.S. had tried to bargain on this phi- losophy but the U.S. showed no interest, Now Kennedy suddenly has shown readiness to hold such talks. Pearson persuaded Kennedy to endorse 4 meeting of Can- ada-U.S. labor leaders to end vi- olence on the Great Lakes and attempt to restrain the labor battle between the Seafarers International Union and the Ca- nadian Maritim Union. Kennedy also agreed to have Troops BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)-- Federal troops were poised to- day to move into this tension- icharged' city as 1,200 police of- ficers clamped virtual martial law on a wide section, scarred by rioting and night bombings. President Kennedy sent army ' troops to two Alabama bases with a grim warning that they would move into Birmingham if new violence erupts. Thousands of Negroes rioted early Sunday after bombs blasted a Negro minister's home and a motel. Governor George C. Wallace, arch-segregationist who once defied federal authorities over voter registration records, chal- lenged the president's right to send in federal troops. He in- Sisted state and local officers can preserve law and order, City officials and Negro lead- ers issued strong appeals for law and order. Helmeted state troopers, city policemen and officers from nu- merous surrounding counties and towns patrolled the cor- doned area in shifts today. About 50 person,s including po- lice officers, were injured in the rioting. The president's action was three-pronged: 1. Defence Secretary Robert S.

Of the biracial agreement an- nounced only Friday, Dr, King said: "I have faith in the per- sons who did the negotiating. I believe these agreements will be carried out." Rev.

DOGS OUTWITTED BY LOVE POTION LONDON (AP)--Police to- day accused ban - the - bomb demonstrators of using a love potion to outwit police dogs. "It's not playing the game," said a police spokesman. It's more or less tantamount to putting marbles under horses' feet .It just shows, how low some people will go." Peter Cadogan, secretary of the Committee of 100, replied: "The use of dogs against us is a filthy trick and a damned insult. I admit we used ani- seed buns, All that happens is that the dogs lick the aniseed and get very affectionate." The committee is a militant organization that frequently demonstrates against nuclear weapons. It wants Britain to destroy all nuclear devices. "It's a very sensible tactic against dogs," Cadogan con- tinued ."Aniseed is a love potion. The use of it saves trouble to the dogs and the demonstrator." Police said the demonstra- tors used buns soaked in ani- seed during a demonstration over the weekend near the RAF's Marshal V-bomber sta- tion in County Norfolk. In a clash with the cops and dogs, 80 demonstrators were arrested--but no one reported being bitten by a dog. "We had 30 to 35 dogs on duty," said the police spokes- man, Tributes At Civic With the removal of the King street tracks, Oshawa will lose one of its main claims to fame . , . the city where the railroad runs down the middle of its main street. Motorists will no longer be able to joke that they had to race a train for a parking spot. But Oshawa citizens don't seem to mind losing this dis- tinction, if the number of peo- Pe who turned out for Satur- day's celebrations is any indica- tion.

Gifford said, "'it wouldn't be fair to say that any one individual did the most work on this project to get the tracks removed." However, he paid special trib- ute to Michael Starr, MP for Ontario riding; T. D. "Tommy" Thomas, MPP for Oshawa rid- ing and Edward McNeely, the city solicitor. "There was only one way to solve this problem," said Mr. Gifford, '"'and that was to nego- tiate with the three dealers who were being served on King street . . .

One death was caused two weeks ago when a bomb went off at the rear of an army re- cruiting centre on mid-town Sherbrooke Street. Several armories have been bombed and a federal revenue building was damaged. How- ever, this was the first bomb- blast at an RCAF unit. A Royal Canadian Legion building in St. Johns, Que., 20 miles south of Montreal, was damaged when a bomb exploded there two weeks ago, ize its remaining lines now run by 'electricity, "There's one organization in this city that won't be too happy about thismove," he said, re- ferring to the Public Utilities Commission, but added, "we don't mind as long as they don't switch to gas . . . they're pretty tough competitors of ours lright now." Looking into the future, and at Eric Wynne, vice-president of CNR's Great Lakes region, Mr. Gifford said, "if the CNR ever decides to institute a com- muter service to Toronto, if and when the situation warrants it, I hope you don't ask the municipality to help subsidize 1 a "We know what kind of a good thing the CNR had with the street railway: (bus sys- tem),"" Mr, Gifford added, jok- ingly, "so much so, that we're now forced to put on a cam- paign to get people to ride our buses."

He noted that the speaker began his railroad career with the Grand Trunk Railway when he was just 12 years old. Mr. Wynne commended the committee responsible for the day's celebration, and said, "they certainly gave full rein to their imaginations." (The committee was repre- sentative of many organizations in the city and sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.) He said he was glad to be in Oshawa on this occasion, be- cause, "'where else could one go and see the mayor of a city propelling a hand car down the Main street on a railway track," and added, "TI think you will agree, he worked it like an experienced hand, and I was not really surprised when he confided that he had perform- ed the task before." Mr. Wynne said that as a rail- wayman, he is naturally more interested in seeing tracks laid, rather than torn up, but some- times finds himself involved in situations where the people ob- ject. strenously when the rail way declares its intention to remove them, the yr went back about 25 years, he found the number of letters that have been exchanged almost un+ believable. "It was the greatest bit of buck passing I ever saw," he said, "but happily, the problem has been resolved, due to the combined efforts of city hall, citizens, business and com- merce and transportation interests." Mr. Wynne's audience grin ned when he said, "I feel duty bound to say that I am going to make no promises whatsoever as to what the railway's position will be if you ask us to re-lay the tracks along King street." Mr. Wynne said the theme for past, present and future" was a valid one, because, "transport- ation will continue to play a vital role in your growth and prosperity."' iinet || almost ground to a standstill.

In their Friday and Saturday talks -before a roaring fire in the president's summer home, they agreed to co-operate in seeking greater North Atlantic unity and lower tariffs in the free world. i They spoke of their common dreams and common aspira- tions and bound their friendship with an exchange of gifts and creation of a new pioneer rock- ing chair found in the Ottawa Valley.
