Informants said the U.S. and Panama would each have one military man and one civilian on the authority, with a neutral OAS representative as chair- man, Alfredo Vazquez Carri- cosa, Colombian ambassador to the OAS, has been proposed, they added. Diplomatic sources said it had not been decided whether the peace-keeping group would use military or civilian forces to police the border area. It was said earlier that troops from both the U.S. and Panama m make up the patrols, Harn M.

Rusk's declarations on the Canal Zone crisis were made Sunday in the radio and tele- vision program ABC's Issues and Answers. The Johnson administration, it was learned today, has warned U.S. leaders in the Canal Zone that it will not tolerate any de- parture from the agreement be- U.S. Can't Canal Zone: Rusk WASHINGTON (AP) -- State Secretary Dean Rusk says Cu- bringing to 24 the death toll since a flag-raising incident in the Canal last Thursday set off the fighting. Three of the dead were U.S. soldiers. The U.S. Army said the slain guardsman apparently was caught in a crossfire between snipers and U.S, soldiers. The army said the guardsman was hit by a high velocity bullet while the U.S. troops were us- ing shotguns, Panamanian guardsmen searched border streets on the Colon side for snipers, NOT SAFE Informed sources also said no American was safe in Colon-- where "'plenty of shooting is go- ing on." While riumber of Americans killed remained at three the toll of wounded climbed to 89. Panamanian casualties were put at more than 400. Working - class Panamanians were reported to have no meat, milk or Other perishables in their homes. ; os Although grocery stores w open while most other busi- nesses were closed during the crisis here, there has been a carcity of perishable food- stuffs. , Panama City's streets were deserted Sunday night, but ear- lier in the day as many as 100,- 000 turned out in the capital to follow the bodies of 14 country- men killed in the fighting. Most of the 14 were students. After funeral services in the metropolitan cathedral, the cof- fins were carried eight miles to the Jardin de Paz (Garden of Peace) cemetery. President Ro- berto Chiari led the mourners. The Canal Zone cuts Panama in two, 10 miles wide, 36 miles long coast to coast, running northwest to southeast with 186 of its 558 square miles water. It has a populaion 42,122, and the canal zone cor States exerts absolute control over the strategic waterway. Rusk, in publicly ruling out any official thought that the United States might give up the Canai Zone or the military bases long established there, said he has not heard any re- sponsible leader raise that point. His views on the canal were stated in reply to a ques- tion. At the same time, Rusk left no doubt that the U.S. govern. ment is prepared to open dis- cussion with the Panamanian government of President Ro- berto Chiari on Chiari's demand for revision of the treaty gov- erning the Canal Zone. The pact goes back to 1903 and has been revised at least twice in modern times. tween the United States and Pa- nama. The admonition that all U.S. citizens in the zone must abide by U.S.-Panamanian accord was issued, officials said, in order to prevent any recurrence of the kind of demonstration which triggered the current crisis. It was a student protest of a U.S. government ruling about the flyin; of Panama's flag in the Canal Zone which helped to bring about the violent clashes of the last few days. As a result of this crisis, Pres- ident Johnson now has to face urgently the possibility of new gotiation with P. on the treaty by which the United Pensioner's Body Found Near Cabin MATHESON, Ont.

Doctors' group claimed the report confirmed repeated warn- ings about the link and they re- newed pleas for a policy of ed- ucating Canadians, particularly teen-agers, about the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. Suggestions were heard for and/some restriction on cigarette by | adve: , and Dr, Andrew, art, chairman of the Board ¥ ast Governors, said) such restrictions should apply to all media, not only radio and television. John M. Keith, president. of Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada, said in a statement in Montreal the Canadian Tobacco industry considers the report on smoking inconclusive.

They included a Canaletto, Roman Scene, said to be worth £35,000 ($105,000). Police wére investigating the possibility that the fire which swept the William Hallsborough Galleries in Piccadilly had been started maliciously. | They thought a burning ob- jject might have been pushed jthrough an outside ventilator into the basement. Other paintings damaged by the fire included a Van Dyck, Portrait of a Lady in a Black Dress, and a Boucher, Mother With Child, from the Rothschild itself. collection. Tobacco Men Prepare To Defend Business At Tillsonburg, Ont., heart of Canada's tobacco-growing indus- try, a spokesman for the On- tario Flue-Cured Tobacco' Grow- ers Marketing Board, said he was not satisfied the Washing- ton report was 100 per cent cor- rect. Bernie Miggins, vice - chair- man of the board, suggested if the report points out some sp- cific substance in tobacco smoke that is harmful, the industry should make every effort to eliminate it. He said he believed it pos- sible to grow a tobacco that would satisfy not just the public demand for good cigarettes but reduce the amount of tars and considered harmful Cost of jhe empha- sized, should object since the future of @ $100,000,000 in- dustry was at stake. Jack Roxburg, Liberal MP for Norfolk, said from Simcoe, Ont., the Pern ne and industry should co-operate "in any way possible to eliminate grounds for the medical profession's con- demnation of cigarette smok- ing." He said the U.S. report deals with U.S. tobaccos which are cured by different methods than the flue-Cured Ontario tobaccos. At least one doctor scoffs at the report. Dr. R. W.

Teachers handling the classes will report to a conference next summer after which a textbook the report was "a lot of bal- oney." Although he smoks a pipe and cigars, he said he wasn't rcommending that his patients, or his wife, give up cigarettes. In Toronto, president Dr, W. W.

A state of emergency was in force in the former British pro- tectorate following a wafning from the new government that all foreign ships should stay out- side the island's territorial wa- ters. Several persons, including policemen, were reported killed and many. others wounded in heavy fighting that erupted Sat- urday night and raged into early Sunday aroun@ police stations, an armory and the residence of Prime Minister Mohammed Shamte Hamadi. A radio station, 'dentifying it- self as "the freedom fighters of Zanzibar," said at least two po- licemen were killed during the successf ' storming of the arm- ory.

Informants say he will de- velop it in the months to come as a deliberate plea for public support against his political op- ponents and doubters among his political friends, He calls it the 'new politics and those with whom he has discussed it say idealism is its chief element. It seeks to bend party interest to the public interest.

What are the elements of this new kind of politics? One is a conscious effort to nurture the power of the House of Commons as a check on ex- ecutive authority--even his own as prime minister--and as a better focus of the public's aims and aspirations. Mr. Pearson is said to feel the work of the. Commons de- fence committee at the last ses- sion was a graphic reflection of this feature of the new kind of politics. The object was to have a Commons committee make an intensive study of the factors which shape government policy on defence, the single costliest activity of the federal govern- ment. But policy-making is a sacro- Sanct preserve of the cabinet.

So the full heresy of it didn't strike some of his colleagues until he became prime minister. Nevertheless the committee was established and turned loose in fields from which Par- liament had hitherto been al- most completely cut off. Politi- cal opponents have expressed enthusiasm for the study made by the committee. ' Informants siy Mr. Pearson is determined its findings wiil form the basis of future gov- ernment policy. Another example is just be- ginning to take shape--the Com- mons committec, headed by Speaker Alan Macnaughton, set up to study Commons procedure and organization. Generally such committees have made studies of Commons rules, trying to find better rules for the Commons to deal with the matters placed before it. But this Speaker's committee has mapped out a far broader study--a non-partisan reform of Parliament as an institution of government, based on a study New Kind Of Politics resistance and resentment in some quarters, including the Liberal party. But Mr. Pearson is said to be determined to support those who want the committee to con- tinue the wide-ranging examin- ation it had barely started to map out when Parliament was prorogued. : The much - publicized revolt of Liberal backbenchers pro- vided another illustration of the new kind of politics in action. It was written and spoken of as a revolt of the backbench MPs against the: cabinet. This picture of internal dissension might easily have stampeded Mr. Pearson into calling a halt to the demands of the back- benchers. Participants say he firmly backed them -- even against some of his ministers--in their desire to-have liaison groups es- tablished which could keep an eye on the steps being taken by. ministers to shape govern- ment policy. of Parliament's functions and purposes in today's world. | The idea of a study of Parlia- ment-in such depth met with But he left it to the back. benchers themselves to make the liaison system work once it was established. p , Said he was sure the Cuban leader's visit "will con- tribute to the cause of strength- ening the great friendship be- tween our two countries."

Thanking the Soviet Union for its aid, Castro said: 'Some of the difficulties that the Soviet people experienced in their time we are now experiencing.
