Over Cuba Trade | WASHINGTON (CP) -- Brit- ish Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home has swung his support behind United States military action in South Viet Nam but has split with Presi- dent Johnson on how to handle Castroism in Cuba. Resuming their formal talks which are to be completed to- day, the two leaders are ex- pected to return to the Cuban issue as Johnson seeks to per- suade Sir Alec to restrict long- term credits to the Communist bloc. But a British official made Alec's view is that Britain should trade with all/servation posts on the East-West; should be {ree nities, without| frontier in Europe. th official added. As the talks leaders continue, between the two it becomes strongly evident that while Sir; Alec seeks a close accord with Johnson on general East-West strategy, he intends to pursue an independent economic course wherever Britain's trade is in- volved. , The official gave special em- phasis, however, to the fact that Britain will riot support the pro- posal by French President de Gaulle that Southeast Asia be neutralized. He said Britain is fully behind the U.S. military effort against the Red threat in South Viet Nam.

Sir Alec Still Wants Canada Force WASHINGTON (CP) -- Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home is reported to be confident that if an international police force is formed for Cyprus, Canada will contribute a substantial number of soldiers. A source close to the. prime minister said Wednesday that Britain's confidence that Can- ada would share in the peace- keeping operation results from Sir Alec's talks with Prime Min- ister Pearson in Ottawa earlier this week. Britain has urged Canada. to contribute bout 1,000 soldiers to the proposed contingent. The Canadian government has not yet made any firm commitment but the informant said the sug- gestion got a sympathetic re- ception during the private talks in Ottawa. HAMILTON (CP) -- Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker said Wednesday he is in favor of sending Canadian troops to Cy- prus but only at the Cypriot government's request. Canada should send troops to a Commonwealth country only if that country's government asks for them, he said in an interview. CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FORD LINK?

Turks had been taking "a very bad beating" from the Greek - Cypriots and were in danger of being eliminated. The Turkish-Cypriots in the area were reported surrounded and the source said the Greeks have launched a complete mil- itany operation against them. STARTED AT DAWN The government radio said the new battle, the third in as |many days at Limassol, broke jout at dawn around Berengaria Castle at the approaches of the second largest city of Cyprus. There are an estimated 6,000 Britons, including military fam- ilies, living in Limassol. The British and Amercans have proposed an_ international peacekeeping force for the is- land of 10,000 men. Under. orig- inal proposals the force was to be made up from NATO coun- tries, However, Makarios wanted the force linked to the United Nations Security Council. TORONTO (CP) -- From al- most every quarter, the Ontario government's two-cent tax in- crease on gasoline and diesel fuel is viewed as unpopular and regrettable. "We feel the automobile owner is again penalized for the use of his automobile which no longer is a luxury but an es- sential part of our way of life," R. C. Mott, president of the On- tario Motor League, said Wed- nesday, A spokesman for Imperial Oil |Limited said: | "Gasoline is being taxed like a luxury item although in this day and age it is an absolute necessity."'

At a press conference in Geneva, Helg said Tsarapkin waited 28 hours before inform- ing Swiss police of Nossenko's disappearance. Helg declared the Russians declined to give Swiss police a photograph of Nossenko, his birth date or particulars of his background, and refused to al- low inspection of his belongings or permit questioning of other members of the Soviet delega- tion. Wherever Swiss police went to inquire about Nossenko, they found Russian security agents had been there before conduct- vs aa own investigation, Helg Said, "In this circumstances, it is not surprising that our inquiries led to no positive result," Helg said, Swiss police said Nossenko slipped into neighboring France Feb. 4.

(C PWirephoto) | THE HAGUE (Reuters)--Con- jtroversy over Princess Irene's conversion to Roman Catholic- ism continued today in the wake of a strongly-worded letter of disapproval by the Dutch Re- formed Church. The Protestant Church's let- ter, released Wednesday, was addressed to the prelate who re- ceived the princess into the Catholic Church last year. The leading Dutch church-- which counts Queen Juliana and the rest of the royal family, ex- cept Irene, as members--said it was "deeply shocked" by Irene's converstion and the fact jthat it was concealed for some time, Irene, 24, whose engagement to. Spain's Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Parma, 33, was an- nounced Saturday, was second in line to the throne before she renounced her rights, Her conversion did not be- come generally known until a photographer spotted her pray- ing in a Catholic church in Spain two weeks ago. The reformed church's letter to Cardinal Alfrink did not deny Trene's right to choose her own faith freely. But it changed the cardinal with neglecting the "'ir- refutable responsibility" of in- forming the Reformed Church of Irene's conversion, "We were also most shocked by the fact that her conversion 'was not immediately made pub- lic by you," the letter said. It said the Reformed Church believed it was within its rights to question whether the 'con- cealment" of Irene's conversion Chrysler Corp.

The measure was announced Wednesday in the budget brought down by Provincial Treasurer Allan that also raised hospital insurance premiums ta' July 1, . The increase will be $2.30 a month for a family, making the new premium $6.50. For a sin- a cost $3.25, an increase of 1.15. Effective at 12:01 a.m. today the gasoline tax went up to 15 cents a gallon from 13--the. fig- ure that had existed since 1957. Diesel fuel tax was raised two cents to 20% cents a gallon. Mr. Allan's budget, calling for gross expenditures of $1,- 304,000,000 during the fiscal year starting April 1, left Ontario's three-per-cent sales tax un- changed. Nor did the treasurer levy a cigarette tax, as anticipated in some quarters. He announced a few minor tax changes, one of them the removal of amuse- ment tax on admission tickets costing 75 cents or less. Mr. Allan said the province's Program for 1964-65 'clearly discloses that increased reven- ues are urgently needed." The existing tax structure simply could not provide enough money, Even so, he did not wish to make major tax changes before receiving the report of the On- miums the most costly in ada. to 000,000 a year.
