Ankara radio announced that the rebel leader, Talat Aydemir, had been captured with other Court Backs Negro Sit-Ins dismissed army officers who| had supported him. | Seven persons were reported killed and 23 were wounded dur- ing fighting in the capital. Most of them fell when government forces attacked cadets who de- fied an ultimatum to return to their barracks and surrender. Gen. Cevdet Sunay, chief of staff of the Turkish armed "I order some misled cadets and officers to surrender and retire to their barracks," he said. "Unless this is done air force planes and all other armed forces units will attack." President Cemal Gursel in an- other broadcast said that a handful of army rebels had oc- cupied Radio Ankara briefly but had been arrested. OTTAWA (CP) -- A sober warning that Canada's survival depends on solving the problem of biculturalism has been voiced by Prime Minister Pearson. "T cannot imagine anything at this time more serious to the progress, indeed, to the survival of our country as a confedera- tion than a successful solution to this problem," Mr, Pearson said Monday night in the Com- mons throne speech debate. He reminded English Canada that "the partnership must be a true one and, equally impor- tant, it must be felt by all con- cerned in the country to be a true one." To French Canada he issued this reminder: "You cannot have a bicultural country without having a coun- try. So Quebec, to be Quebec, must be Quebec in Canada." VIEWS CLASH Mr. Pearson's reiteration of his views on biculturalism clashed with those of Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker, who urged him to scrap a proposed royal commission on this sub- ject and instead call a federal- provincial conference. Mr. Diefenbaker said such a conference coujd take "the first forces, said in a br shortly after dawn, "'a treach- erous attempt by e small group to seize power has been com- pletely crushed." Y dng a short-lived re- belion in ruary, fs that a state or city may not in- terfere in any fashion with peaceful sit-in demonstrations for racial integration in public places of busiess. But the ruling Monday did not clearly spell out the legal posi- tion of the individual shop- keeper who may wish to re- strict his clientele without the support of segregation laws. The tribunal not only struck down laws and ordinances against peaceful sit-in demon. strations, but also barred action or statements by officials that might influence shopkeepers to turn away Negro customers, It was a decision with more far-reaching impact on racial relations in daily life than any since the school desegregation decrees of nearly a decade ago. The new ruling was laid down in seven cases, mostly centred on arrests during a 1960 cam- paign by Negroes to integrate lunch counters and other busi- ness in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Maryland. The nine justices were unani- mous in laying down the prin- ciple that public officials can- not interfere with sit-ins as long as they are peaceful. lament pardoned him and his accomplices. Government troops arrested four colonels who tried to seize a radio station in Istanbul. otherwise the metropolis was quiet. The rebellion was centred in Ankara and apparently was sup- ported by an unknown number of cadets at the War College, a traditional centre of unrest. COUP FOILED A voice of Radio Ankara an- nounced the coup at 12:40 a.m. Ankara time. The insurgents proclaimed Aydemir "chief of the revolutionary committee" and ordered a curfew in Tur- key's three main cities--Istan- bul, Ankara and Izmir. Within an hour, Radio Ankara said the coup had been thwarted and the plotters were being rounded up. A third Radio Ankara an- nouncement claimed army units controlled the capital "on be- half of the revolutionary com- mittee of Talat Aydemir." Then| Radio Ankara went dead. Nor- {mal communications between RCAF Part Seen OTTAWA (CP) --Informed sources say the Royal Canadian Air Force "force-fed" its air division in Europe with CF-104 nuclear carrier jet planes in an attempt to force former prime minister Diefenbaker's hand on the nuclear warheads issue. The RCAF had earlier con. firmed that it shipped the first CF-104 low-level jet bombers to Europe before they were com- bat-ready and that the planes required some 40 modifications on arrival at Zweibruecken, West Germany. A British team has carried out the modifications at the West German base. The only official RCAF explanation for the modifications, how- ever, was that the tecnhical changes could be made as cheaply in Europe as in Can- ada, Competent sources now say the reason behind early ship- ment of the CF-104s to Europe was that the presence of the planes on their European bases supposedly would point up Istanbul and Ankara were sev- ered.

D'Estaing told reporters only technical details remained to be worked out by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) conference meeting here. Maurice Brasseur, Bel- gian chairman of the Common Market ministerial council, said the European Six had not moved from their position in the latest counter-proposals. Brasseur was charged with re- porting the agreement reached so far to Swiss Conference Chairman Hans Schaffner. The American agreement fol- lowed a dramatic change in the conference atmosphere after the Common Market bid to break the deadlock on methods of cut- tng tariffs.

The Common Market earlier today rejected American propos- als on a plan for reducing tariffs for next year's "Kennedy round" of negotiations. The counter proposals of the Six were drafted during the early morning hours after the Common Market ministers held a private five-hour session.

O MONTREAL (CP)--Quebec's top military, civil and police au- thorities meet today to map a campaign to wipe out terrorist bombings in Quebec province. A meeting of 15 municipal and law . enforcement leaders was called by Premier Jean Lesage, who said Monday "it must stop." "They (the terrorists) are do- ing enormous harm, enormous harm, to Quebec as well as to French Canada." The premier also announced that the provincial government is posting a $50,000 reward for information leading to the ar- rest and conviction of anyone responsible for terrorism since April 1. This would be in addition to a $10,000 reward offered two weeks ago by Montreal, ARMORY HIT His actions followed a week- end of increased activity by the bomb - planters, The biggest blast since the start of the ter- rorist campaign demolished sev- eral cars and broke three dozen windows in the vicinity of the Douglas Moves Non-Confidence Motion Today OTTAWA. (CP)--New aiid ing. od rd moved a non-confidence motion criticizing the government for having decided to acquire nu- clear warheads. Mr. Douglas' motion, second non-confidence motion in the Commons throne speech debate, regretted that the government had announced a decision to ac- quire nuclear arms for Cana. dian forces and thereby less- ened the chances of disarma- ment and increased the chance of nuclear war. Mr, Douglas said the first non-confidence motion, moved Monday by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, is unacceptable. to his 17-member group. The Commons votes tonight at 9:45 p.m. EDT on Mr. Doug- las' motion, the first test for the minority Liberal govern- ment. Mr. Douglas said the nuclear arms decision was the second and "even more glaring ex- ample of disregard for Parlia-. ment" on the part of the Lib. eral administration which took power April 22. The government showed cal- lous. disregard for Parliament and parliamentary institutions in deciding to accept recom- mendations of the International Pacific Fisheries Commission which would permit Japan to fish for herring and halibut in Pacific waters. He quoted from a speech made last fall by Prime Min. ister Pearson as opposition leader in which "Mr. Pearson argued that no government with a minority of Commons mem- bers has the right to act as any- thing but a "'caretaker" until sustained by a vote of confi- dence in the Commons. cratic Leader Douglas, charg- Liberals with glaring of Parliament, today icials Begin War Against FLQ Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers' armory Monday. In Quebec City, a stick of dynamite was found in each of 18 different mail boxes. Friday, a total of 15 bombs were' planted in mailboxes--11 of them in suburban West+ mount, a mainly English-speak- ing area--and the explosion of one of them critically injured army engineer Walter Rolland cag a 45-year-old sergeant-ma- or. He was trying to dismantle it when it exploded, shredding his left arm and face. Leja, his arm amputated in a five-hour operation, was still in critical condition and uncon. scious today. The bombings, which took the life of an elderly watchman April 20, are blamed on Le Front de Liberation Quebecois, a group seeking Quebec's inde. pendence from Canada by vio- lence. Complicating police work was the Victoria Day holiday week- end, 15 to 20 crank calls a day reporting bomb scares, and such things as the distribution of the dynamite sticks in Que. bec City. It was not known if the Que- bec. action was really carried out by the FLQ--each stick bore a small tag marked FLQ, but none had fuses or detonators and police 'said they thought the sticks were planted as a prank, age, severely three others, and pitched chunks of wreckage more than 50 yards. No one was hurt. Premier Lesage, in calling the meeting, said he had the im. pression during his recent Eu- ropean trip that foreign coun- tries were worried about the bol mbings. He feared foreign investment in Quebec would be affected. Plain Of Jars Fight Flares Again In Laos VIANTIANE, Laos (Reuters) Violent fighting has broken out on the Plaine des Jarres be- tween pro - Communist Pathet Lao troops and neutralist forces of Gen. Kong Le, the coalition government announced today. A communique said a battle had been raging for two days. It said the Communists were reinforced by two battalions brought into action in a 50-truck convoy. Neutralist positions were un- der fire from heavy guns, the communique said. The communique sald the Communists had driven Kong Le's forces into a corner of the high-grassy plain where for the last month Pathet Lao and neu- tralist forces have huddled in foxholes facing each other. There was _ speculation in Vientiane that one of the two sides was trying to force a deci- sion on the plain before the rainy season prevented all movements. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- |Negro leaders say they will go jto federal court in efforts to void a Birmingham school board order expelling or suspending more than 1,000 Negro. pupils who demonstrated against seg- regation. The school board's action adn Negro leaders said they planned to fight the move only by legal means. Rev.
