WAHINGTON (AP) -- Pres- ident Johnson asked \ Congress today for $3,401,000,000 in for- eign aid to help "build a world in which the weak can walk without fear." In a special message to a Congress which has become in- creasingly résistant to foreign aid in recent years, Johnson depicted the program as a bul- wark against both war and "the ambitions of communist impe- rialism." He promised "no waste' in the operation and asked for permanent authority for U.S. arms aid abroed. On Capitol Hill, there were prompt predictions of trouble ahead for the president's pro- posals. Senate Republican Leader Ev- erett M. Dirksen of Illinois said there were "still possibilities for real economies."

However, there was no imme- diate indication who would be charged or what the charges would specify. Police said the charges would be treated as summons cases. Miss Morgan died last Nov. 4 in Toronto East General Hos- pital, 18 days after a stomach operation. An autopsy revealed a surgical clamp had been left in her abdomen which caused acute obstruction and death. - A coroner's jury ruled Feb. 27 that Miss Morgan died by and blamed her surgeon, Dr. Kenneth A.

House committee hearings on the measure may open next week, Johnson disclosed that he has decided against any major shakeup in the overseas assist- ance program. He had appointed a special committee to study re- organization possibilities, con- centrating on a number of streamlining activities. The main change sought by the president from the existing foreign aid process was his re- quest that congress provide a "continuing authorization' for military assistance.

Banks MONTREAL (CP) Paul Hall, president of the Seafarers International Union of North America, arrived in Montreal today following the dismissal of Hal Banks and fired off an angry telegram to the mari- time board of trustees.

He added that the Royal 22nd is ar- riving here slightly ahead of schedule and that the RCAF air- lift should be completed by Sat- urday. ; : "Tt has been 2 good show with Jots of zip," Amy said. However, he said the UN could have made a much greater impact in Nicosia if it had been ready to fly the UN flag from white-painted vehi- cles. Amy said the main question now is whether contingents from two countries--Canada and Brit- ain--would .be politically suffi- cient to make the UN force op- erational.

He charged the trustees had confiscated hundreds of thousands of dollars of property and assets of the international union. : MAN DIES AFTER CRASH ON 401 .

UN OFFICIALS ARRANGE CEASE-FIRE chairman NEW TRUCK CHASSIS PLANT SKETCHED GENEVA (AP)--The United States proposed today that it and the Soviet Union each de- stroy 480 strategic bombers over a two - year period. The Russians immediately rejected the proposal as a Pentagon trick. The: proposal for destruction of American B-47 and Russian TU-16 Badger bombers was made before the 17-nation dis- armament conference by U.S. negotiator Adrian §. Fisher.

Fisher suggested that the two big powers should each destroy the two types of aircraft have been assigned generally similar strategic roles. "Thus the balance in the over- all force structure of the two sides would be maintained at the reduced levels resulting from their destruction."

"The proposal of the United States makes it possible to get on promptly with the objectives of the Soviet proposal--the phys- ical reduction of bombers--with- out having to deal with these vexatious problems. "This proposal is only a step toward solving the problem of disarmament. But by taking "it, we can begin to reduce de- structive capability present in the world and lessen the dang- ers of its proliferation." One Canada Is Solution Diet Claims In Early Thé largest expansion program in the history of General Mo- tors of Canada was announced Wednesday by its president, E. H.- Walker. The two year pro- gram will increase the com- pany's employment in Canada ultimately by more than 4,000. Plans for the. GM of Canada expansion were revealed by Mr. Walker following an_an- nouncement made Wednesday in Fremont, California, by Fred- eric G. Donner, chairman of General Motors Corporation, that GM was undertaking the largest world-wide two-year ex- pansion program in its history. Mr. Donner said that capital outlays for GM's several Cana- dian divisions would be about $120,000,000. Plans announced by GM of, Canada include a new truck chassis plant at Oshawa as well as expansion of existing passen- ger car assembly facilities and expansion of parts manufactur- ing facilities, a new plant for Windsor and a new passenger car assembly plant, details of which. will be, announced. later. "Our decision to make this unparalleled investment. is based on the steadily evidence that the 850,000 cars 1970," Mr. Walker said. ADD TO CAR PLANTS Construction begins early this summer at Oshawa of an 850,000 square foot truck chassis as- sembly plant immediately to the south of the passenger car assembly plants. It will be ready for production in the summer of 1965 and will allow GM to increase its range of truck models substantially. An expansion of the parts manufacturing facilities at GM's "North Plant" in Oshawa will follow removal of the present' truck chassis assembly to the new plant. Departments to be enlarged include wiring har- ness, radiator. chrome plating, stamping, battery, metal trim and truck bodies. An immediate start will be made on nearly 88,000 square feet of additions to the Oshawa passenger car plants. The addi- tions will boost production facili- Begin Building : Summer E.

Peak produc- tion should be achieved there in from six to eight months after the plant opens. "Selection of Windsor as the site of a major self-contained trim plant is based on the city's traditional association with the automobile industry and its.sup- ply of skilled help. This will be the second GM plant in Wind- sor. The transmission plant now operated by on Indus tries Limited, another GM com- pany, was opened in Windsor as an engine plant in 1921," Mr. Walker said. MONTREAL (CP) -- Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker said Wednesday night the building of one strong Canada should be a primary objective of all politi- cal parties. "One Canada and one Canada alone will be the salvation of |this. nation economically and politically," he told the Mont- real Junior Board of Trade. "The people are not asking for political carpentry. They are asking for a vision of a new Canada, with equalization of opportunity in all parts of the country." He said it is essential to this concept that the provinces play their constitutional role in so- cial and economic development but he expressed -- scepticism 'about the willingness of the present federal government to help them do this, ~"Certainly the federal budget the other night gives no indica- tion the provinces are going to receive very great consideration at the next federal-provincial conference opening March 31." Holding a brief press confer- ence before the address, Mr. Diefebaker described as "long overdue" the removal of Harold Banks as president of the ea- farers' International Union of Canada (Ind.). He wondered what had made the federal trustees fire Banks so "suddenly," however.
