Informed sources say the re- port, not yet public, is signed by only two of the three trust- ees--Mr. Justice Victor Dryer, who resigned as chairman Dec. 15, and Judge Rene Lippe. Missing is the signature of Charles Millard, the retired union leader who recently made public a letter to the Canadian Labor Congress ad- vocating a labor - sponsored trusteeship to end the present ™ |federal one. The federal trusteeship, set up by Parliament late in 196 to take over five maritime unions and restore labor peace to the Great Lakes, runs until the end of 1966. MAKES CHARGES: Mr. Millard has charged that the trusteeship has become an overloaded, self - perpetuating bureaucracy; that it is consid- ering a takeover of the Inter- national Longshoremen's Asso- ciation (CLC), and that it wants legislative powers to force constitutional changes on the unions under its control. A spokesman for the trustee- ship said Sunday Mr. Millard's charges are both inaccurate and illogical. "He has never once discussed these things with his fellow trustees,' the source said, then gave this item-by-item denial of Mr. Millard's charges: 1, Although Mr, Millard. said the staff had tripled since the trustees took full control of the Seafarers' International Union (Ind.) last March, it actually increased to 27 from 20. 2. Prospects in 1965 were for a staff decrease. The majority of staff members were either on loan from the government or on leave of absence from former jobs and had been hired on the firm understanding that the work was temporary. DENIES DISCUSSIONS 3. There had never at any time been discussions about taking over the longshoremen. Such a step was 'completely illogical." 4. The trusteeship would op- pose, rather than seek, any leg- islation giving them the right Trent U.

The hospital said her condition was satisfactory. Pearson Returns From Funeral OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister an.) Mrs. Pearson arrived|- ° in Ottawa Sunday at 12:44 p.m. EST after attending the state funeral of Sir Winston Church- ill in London Saturday.

It was revealed last week that Mr. Millard split with his fellow trustees late in 1963 when they voted to abolish the post of SIU administrator which he had held up to that time. The decision, coming after the SIU elections, made the trustees jointly responsible for SIU affairs. "Mr. Millard seemed deter- mined to run the SIU all by himself," the source said. "'He didn't want any interference.'" There were complaints that Mr. Millard's eventual aim was to give the SIU complete dom- ination of the maritime union field, the same goal that was sought by Hal Banks, deposed by the trustees last March as SIU president. WORKING ON REPLY? Judge Lippe, who has refused to take part in the public de- bate over the issues, was re- ported to be preparing a pri- vate letter to the CLC opposing Mr. Millard's stand for a pri- vate trusteeship. The split within the trustee- ship will get a full airing within SIU Trustee Report (More Proof Of Split a few weeks, however, when & Commons committee meets to study 'the trustees' report and question the three men about it. Mr. Justice Dryer, even inough he has resigned, has agreed to appear before the committee, along with Judge Lippe and Mr. Millard. Meanwhile, the split has made it difficult for Mr. Mac- Eachen to find a new trustee and a new chairman, The min- ister is anxious to appoint a re- placement before. Parliament meets Feb. 16 but it is re- ported that some of the men he has been talking to about it are reluctant to get into the feud with Mr. Millard. One suggestion has been that the government might remove Mr. Millard from the trustee- ship to end the rift. But per- sons close to the situation say this idea has been rejected, for the time being at least, So far there have been no public expressions of support for Mr. Millard's stand. Pri- vately, however, most of those involved disagree with him. The CLC will decide the issue at an executive council meeting March 9 Kremlin Leaders Like 'Visit Idea By ANDREW WALKER MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Presi- dent Johnson's invitation to the new Kremlin leaders to visit the U.S. received a '"'positive re- sponse" in Russia, the Commu- nist party newspaper Pravda said Sunday. The Pravda article, signed Commentator, was the first fa- vorable comment the Russian press has made on the call Johnson made in his January state of the union message for better Soviet - American con- tacts. The Pravda article followed a Kremlin announcement Sat- urday that Kosygin will head a Soviet delegation on a visit to Communist North Viet Nam soon. Pravda quoted Johnson's in- vitation to. the Soviet leaders, his expressed desire for U.S. Soviet "peaceful understand- ings," and his statemant that the U.S. was 'exploring ways to increase peaceful trade' with the Soviet bloc. SEEKS UNDERSTANDING "The Soviet Union has al- ways sought understanding with the United States of Amer- and small, in the interest of peace and relaxation of ten- sion, as this precisely con- forms to the most cherished wishes of the peoples," Pravda said. The article said that for these reasons Johnson's state- ments "including the one con- cerning extension of Soviet- American contacts, met with a positive response in the Soviet Union." Earlier this month Pravda and the government newspaper Izvestia scored Johnson for claiming the United States seeks "peace ful understand- ings' with the Russians while carrying out "aggression" in Southeast Asia. west of Toronto for' the first buildings, but local quarries are expected to revive as construc- tion continues. MOSCOW (Reuters) -- The announcement of a_ visit soon by Russian Premier Alexei Kosygin to Communist North Viet Nam suggests a new warmth in relations between the Kremlin and Peking's Indo- china ally, The announcement early Sun- day said Kosygin will in the near future head a powerful seven - man delegation, includ- ing top experts on military aid, aviation and inter - party re- lations, to Hanoi at the invita- tion of the North Vietnamese government. * Apart from Kosygin, only one leading Soviet Communist party figure was included, and the membership of the delega- tion gave rise to belief that the most important topics for dis- cussion will be Russian assist- ance to North Viet Nam's air force. But the presence of Yuri Andropov, a party secretary responsible for relations with other parties, suggested the Russians might try to persuade their hosts to attend a meeting of Communist parties sched- The North Vietnamese have not publicly stated their posi- tion on the meeting, but it has been widely assumed they would follow the declared line of their Chinese allies--one of complete opposition to any such meeting at this stage.

An equestrian statue of him, cast in bronze, stands at the southern corner of Trafalgar Square, facing down Whitehall. Each year on Jan. 20 a group of Anglican high church clergy, backed by Stuart sympathizers, march in procession to the statue and hold a short service for "the Martyr King." This year there could be no ceremony. The statue, like many others on the funeral route, had been boarded up to protect it from crowd damage.
