PM, Dief Defend Action Against NDP Criticism OTTAWA (CP) -- Prime Min- ister Pearson, External Afafirs Minister Martin and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker defendec the United States' action in North Viet Nam against criti- cism in the Commons Wednes- day by NDP Leader Douglas. Mr. Douglas said U.S. action against naval installations on shore was tantamount to a dec- Jaration of war. He said Can- ada should not support any ac- tion buttressing what he termed the discredited regime in South Viet Nam. Mr. Diefenbaker, opening the question period, said he realized the responsibility for preserving peace rests with the United States and referred to North Viet Nam's "apparently unpro- voked attack" as completely in- excusable. Mr. Martin said State Secre- tary Dean Rusk of the United States informed Prime Minister Pearson Tuesday night of the; | I North Vietnamese attack onjregime in South Viet Nam un-|wanting to keep tended to take action to deter further attacks. Mr. Douglas asked 'whether the U.S. had made clear in its consultations with Canada that there is a distinction between U.S. responding to gunboat at- tacks, and U.S. attacks on shore naval installations, "which seem tantamount to a declara- tion of war." USED GENERAL TERMS Mr, Pearson said there had been no consultation, but the U.S. had merely informed Can- ada as a member of the inter- national] truce commission in In- dochina. "The action taken by the United States was a reaction to an attack made on the high seas against U.S,' ships," Mr. Pearson added, Mr. Douglas said Canada should make it clear "we are not prepared to support" action by the U.S. on bases designed to support the perpetuation of a} in their strike-and-run ground attacks in the South Vietnamese civil war. military logic, the Communists would be expected to keep on with their winning formula while the U.S. might be ex- pected to try new tactics to get the South Vietnamese govern- ment forces back on the offen- sive, In short, does either side really want to escalate the Viet- namese war? The U.S. insists it does not, although it acted even before the present crisis to add 5,000 men to the 16,000 Americans already "advising" South Viet- namese government troops. The North Vietnamese also have no apparent reason for wanting to broaden the crisis into a Korean-type war. The biggest question of all, of course, is whether Communist China is prepared to back up its threats and batter its way into another Korea. As usual Peking's thinking is better equipped now to take on that kind of a war than it was 14 years ago. It has often de- rided the U.S. as a "paper tiger." This could be the time when it will decide to try to prove its point. Also looming in the back- ground is the question of whether or not the Soviet Union will involve itself in the crisis. Lately it has shown signs of itself aloof US. ships and that the U.S. in-jrepresentative of the people. |from the Southeast Asian en- 16 Million People Ruled By Ruthless Red Leader By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS North Viet Nam is a Commu- nist-ruled land of mountains, deltas and sandstone plateaus covering more than 55,000 square miles in the northeast portion of the Indochinese pen- insul a. Its 16,000,000 people are ruled by Ho Chi Minh, one of the most skilled and ruthless of the world's Communist leaders. He led the successful fight to end French rule over Indochina. From forested, 10,000 - foot mountain ranges, the Red River emerges to water the northern rice paddies. Blessed with still- underdeveloped mineral re- sources, the country has a rich potential for industrialization. But North Viet Nam is re- ported caught in the grip of an economic depression with black marketing, corruption, food shortages, unemployment and low wages. Rice is rationed and the rice crop -- heavily damaged by drought and storms--is said to have dropped in 1963 to less than 4,000,000 tons compared to 4,700,000 in 1962. Even under| the French, North Viet Nam--} known then as Tonkin--could| not grow enough rice for its) people. |ENDS FRENCH RULE | North Viet Nam and its pro-| Western southern counterpart were born in 1954 after Ho's forces crushed the Fench co- lonial armies at Dien Bien Phu, ending a seven-year war. There is no accurate informa- tion available on the size of North Viet Nam's military. South Vietnamese sources say there may be as many as 500,- 000 men in the army, but U.S. intelligence sources place the total at around 250,000. North Viet Nam's tiny navy includes 16 motor torpedo boats, all designed and most of them built in the Soviet Union. North Viet Nam also received from the Soviets in 1961, a dozen 50-ton, 42-knot aluminum hulled boats, all constructed and equipped in Russia. tanglements. é In the fina] analysis, it prob- ably will be Communist China that decides whether the crisis} will lapse back into a muddy war of attrition or blaze into a spreading and disastrous con- flict. Three Powers Support Peace WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States, Britain and the Soviet Union jointly declared Wednesday their. intent to do everything possible to solve re- maining international problems through negotiations. The unusual three ~ power statement was issued as an an- niversary declaration on the limited nuclear test ban treaty. The three countries were the original signers a year ago. Hailing the treaty as strength ening peace and restricting the arms race, the three nations noted that more than 100 coun- tries have since signed the pact.

(CP)--A 74-year-old woman, whose body was found early Wednesday out- side the burned ruins of her home near here, was killed by a blow that fractured her skull, Iroquois FallsCoroner Chester Pollock said Wednesday night. The body of Alexandra Na- choneshnuk was found by fire- men in the yard outside her) home. The body of her husband] Paul, 73, was found in the de- stroyed home. The couple's daughter, Anne, 23, escaped uninjured, The coroner said Mrs. Na- choneshnuk had received sev- eral blows on her head and} body, including one that frac- tured her skull, She also had burns to her legs and body. He said an inquest will be held. The couple's daughter told po- lice she woke about 5:30 a.m.|, and found the house full of smoke. She said she heard her mother and father arguing in their nearby bedroom. and she shouted to them before running outside. Crown attorney S, A. Cald- bick of Timmins, 42 miles west of here, said Wednesday night "we may never know exactly what happened. The daughter left home to go and get help after the fire broke out.

The core of ice, in five-foot sections, is shipped to Ottawa for study during the winter months, "Most measurements in the past have been done on the sur- face but more can be learned going down into the glacier itgelf,"" he says. the age of the ice cap, when it was most active and part of the history of the island itself." Other scientists, American and Russian, have drilled through ice caps in Greenland and the Antarctic but this is the first project in the Canadian north. In the hole through the cap, Dr. Paterson takes temperature checks which, he says, may tell how the climate has varied in the region over the last 200 years. | He is also checking whether glaciers on Meighen Island are building up or melting. This is done by driving stakes into the ice and putting a mark 'at the surface, then checking the marks the following year. In four of the five years the Meighen ice cap has been tested, it has been found to have diminished. Dr. Paterson works with other Canadian and American scien- tists doing aerial photography of the many ice caps in the Arctic. Pictures will be com- pared with those taken five to 10 years from now to determine changes in the glaciers. DRIFTED IN OCEAN On Brock Island, another part of the Polar Continental Shelf Project is being carried on by Dr. Hans Weber and his associ- ates, They are doing gravity and hydrological surveys that may give a clue to when and | jis Tony Overton, He was. asleep jin his sleeping bag when a spring months. Dr. Weber and his crew were just getting settled in their ocean camp this year when the ice began break- ing up. They drifted more than three miles before an aircraft plucked them from their frozerf raft. One reason the Arctic was chosen for the gravity test is "the unique possibility of doing readings from the ice which provides a reasonably stable platform." With sensitive instruments, the gravitational pull is meas- ured, It varies, depending on the thickness of the earth's crust and its components, The study also. gives some indica- tion of minerals that may be under the ocean, In the hydrologica) research, Ross Douglas uses a small in- strument that sends a sound wave through the ice to the ocean floor. The length of time it takes the echo to bounce back, combined with knowledge of the speed of sound in water, tells him how deep the ocean is: in a specific place. On the edge of the polar shelf --the land stretching out under the ocean for as much as 100 miles--the water is about 1,500 feet deep, it has been found. Beyond the shelf it drops to 13,- 000 feet. Findings of these two studies are correlated with the results of seismic studies made across the Arctic ice. Crews set off sub- surface blasts of dynamite which are recorded as listening posts located on various islands, The seismic crews move con- satntly and have been known to sleep under the Arctic sky with- out a tent. But one man who sets up his tent regularly now polar bear grabbed him by the arm and began dragging him away. A companion awoke in time and shot it.

A slight pres- sure against it sets off a Pro - Western quarters throughout the world have praised the United States for its stand in the Viet Nam crisis, but some expressed ap- prehension. Communist China, declaring that the U.S. attack on North Viet Nam coastal bases went "over the brink of war," said in an official statement broad- cast by Peking radio that the Chinese "will absolutely not sit idly by without lending a help- ing hand' to their North Viet Nam ally. Pro-West Nations Praise U. S. Stand nist aggression here and any- where else in the world." The Manila Bulletin said the United States "deserves recog- nition for showing firmness tempered by restraint in the face of provocaitve action." Australian External Affairs Minister Paul Hasluck said his government believes the Amer- ican action was completely jus- tified. Australian newspapers also supported the move and hailed President Johnson for his stand. But the Jakarta newspaper d i Observer said the The strong ¢ tion from Peking added to the ten- sion, concern and alarm that had mounted around the world in the wake of the attack that the United States said was in retaliation for attacks on two different days by North Viet Nam PT boats on U.S. destroy- rs. Red China said armed provo- cations against North Viet Nam must stop. "Otherwise the U.S. govern- ment must be held responsible for all grave consequences aris- ing therefrom," it added. Red China thus added its con- demnation to earlier warnings from the Soviet Union. But there also was praise for the U.S. move. Prime Mintster Douglas- Home of Britain, returning from a vacation in Scotland, told reporters that the U.S. "has the perfect right to retal- iate' against "unprovoked ag- gression" in international wa- ters. The Malaysian government condemned North Vietnamese naval attacks on U.S. warships as "deliberate . provoca- tion." It noted, however, that U.S. retaliation carried the "risk of escalation of the pres- ent conflict into full-scale war." South Korean _ President Chung Hee Park sent a mes- sage to the White House that he and the South Korean people "welcome and support" Presi- dent Johnson's "resolute reac- tion' to the North Vietnamese attacks.

"In time of high tension inci- dents can be lightly touched off for the slightest reason," it said. Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri called an emergency meeting of India's cabinet Wed- nesday after receiving a mes- sage from Johnson about the bombing. DISTURBS INDIA } A spokesman for the external affairs ministry said India is "deeply disturbed" by events. Indian newspapers took vary- ing views of the situation. The Statesman said ""Commu- nist forces are out to provoke the United States into rashness. "Thene could be mo surer way of precipitating the carrying of war into North Viet Nam than attacks on American navel ves- sels in the open sea." But the Times of India said the Tonkin Gulf incidents could not have occurred except for the presence of U.S. warships. "The first fruits of the pres- ence of the U.S. 7th Fleet in Southeast Asia are a rapid and dangerous increase of tension," it said. In Moscow, the Russian gov- ernment warned that United States attacks on North Viet Nam could lead to a wide- spread armed conflict with "dangerous consequences." The Soviet comment came in an "authorized" statement from the official news agency Tass, broadcast on Moscow radio after a day of official silence on the crisis. West German officials ex- pressed support for the U.S. moves, but expressed hope that Ah eh i enn en Publish TORONTO (CP) -- Printers from the International Typogra- phical Union (CLC) were in- vited back to work individually Wednesday by publishers of Toronto's three daily newyspa- pers. Don Purdy, a spokesman for the publishers, said letters from the publishers to the print- erg mailed Wednesday "contain no threats and no promises." Basically, he said, the letters are an inviattion for the idle ITU members, who stopped working July 9, to return to ers Brooke, said the crossing of the lawful ITU 'picket line is dis- tasteful and often leads to last- ing bitterness.

Negotaitions between the ITU and the publishers collapsed Tuesday. | Meanwhile, the Toronto branch of the American News- paper Guilq (CLC) and Local of the International Printing Pressmen's Union (CLC) issue statements expressing concern at the present state of negotia- tions, The guild executive com- mittee voted Wednesday night to call a membership meeting Tuesday to ratify a motion which asks the guild to initiate further mediation efforts.

Perkins, con- tended that information on the charges was valid. He said it was. not necessary for Crown Attorney S. A.

The information, placed 10 days ago, replaced earlier Charges against the Chatham United Church minister which were dismissed by Judge Fox July 21. The judge had said the earlier information was not ex- pressed in terms sufficient to give Mr. Horsburgh notice of the offences, or to allow him to prepare a defence. Mr. Perkins contended in his application for dismissal Wed- nesday that the charges are not specific enough as to dates, and that as a result the defence could not be adequately pre- pared, Mr. Ward said he could not see how the dates could be of any help to the defence.
