"Mr. Dernan gave the prime minister full information about his part in the case and the prime minister was satisfied that Mr. Dornan acted with propriety in every respect." Later, in a verbal statement to reporters, Mr. Pearson used Russie Troups Go To Borneo CANBERRA (AP) -- Acting Prime Minister John McEwen announced today that Australia will send combat troops into Malaysian Borneo.

'LABOR SCRAPPING ENGLISH FIGHTER Cuba For Fidel Ex-Exile Says HAVANA (Reuters)--A_ cap- tured Cuban exile leader said in a filmed interrogation shown on television Tuesday night that judging from what he had seen on the island the Cuban people were behind the regime of Pre- mier Fidel Castro. Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, whose capture was announced by Cu- ban authorities last week, said he had a poor opinion of Miami- based exile leader Manuel Ar- time. Menoyo added that counter- revolutionary morale was bad, and advised his comrades "to avoid useless bloodshed." Menoyo was questioned with three other exiles captured with him. The four appeared calm and casual and smoke continu- ally as they readily answered questions put to them by two army interrogators in a 25-min- ute interview, For the most part the exile leaders repeated details already published in an armed forces communique last week in which they were said to have con- fessed that they went from Florida via Puerto Rico to a base in the Dominican Repub- lic, where they were given help, ARE HOSTILE Menoyo said he had been told that the greater majority of Cu- bans were against the Castro regime' and would take up arms. But when he arrived on the island he received a hostile reception. Cuban peasants informed the authorities of his whereabouts and he was captured Jan. 23. All four of the captured men admitted: they had taken part in attacks on British and Rus- sian merchant ships engaged in trade with Cuba.

He added that if the South Vietnamese "want to be Communist, - let them be so." Sukarno, addressing worship- pers gathered at the presiden- tial palace mosque for prayers ending the Moslem fast month of Ramadan, said: "We (Asians) were never given the opportunity to have freedom--to be free. That is why the best way is for the United States to get out of South Viet Nam and let Asians solve their problems the Asian way. The Asian way means musjawarah (consultations). "The South Viet Nam crisis is the result of American inter- vention." The Indonesian president, who last month Jed his country out of the United Nations and even more into the Peking camp, said the Indonesian and Chinese revolutions have simi- lar goals: 'To drive away im- perialism from this world." Meanwhile, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's Deputy.

Soldiers exchanged within yards of the States Embassy. The U.S, Embassy dispensary and marine house, located at the end of town, were hit by mortars but there were no cas- ualties. Street fighting broke out shortly after artillery of Gen. Koupraisth Abhay, the Vien- tiane governor who is heading the forces of the high command, opened fire upon troops believed brought up by Gen. Kham Khong, rebellious commander of the second military district. Premier Souvanna _Phouma's government is backing the high command troops.

Bounlet also had 300 troops holding part of the airport, two miles north of the city. Both Gen. Kham Khong and Col. Bounleut are known to be close allies of Phoumi. Strife between Communist, neutralist and rightist factions has plagued the tiny but strate- gic Southeast Asia kingdom since it became independent in 1949, The fighting came just two days after the apparent failure of a coup by a group of young army officers headed by Sycos- sie. At. that time, Souvanna Phouma had issued a statement calling the entire incident a misunderstanding. POPULATION PANICS The population, remembering shelling of Vientiane during a December, 1961 battle, began to evacuate the city in panic even before the fighting broke out. Moments after the sound of the first artillery fire rumbled through the city, no civilians were seen on the streets. In Bangkok, a Thai foreign ministry source said Thais liv- ing in Vientiane had been told to evacuate. He said the situa- tion in the Laotian capital was confusing. Thai officials said thousands of Laotian refugees were streaming across the Mekong River border into Thailand. TORY LEADER SUMMONS MP WHAT DOGS DO ON THE WALK JUST DOESN'T SIT TOO WELL LONDON (CP) -- Canadian- bora Lord Douglas of Bar- loch, rueful but unrepentant, reported' today he will renew his battle against dogs fouling sidewalks. "I was stunned to find so much opposition to my meas- ure in the House of Lords," his lordship said in an inter- view. "Some people even accused me of disliking dogs, which is untrue. But people must curb dogs in cities. "There are ever so many complaints--outside the House of Lords. Housewives, partic- ularly, complain bitterly." The roof of the august par- liamentary upper chamber fell on the head of Douglas Tuesday when he introduced a bill to impose a £20 fine on the owners of dogs fouling "footways." "Can you imagine the police being diverted to go chasing dogs to see if they are fouling pavements?" demanded Lord Silkin. "The penalty is ferocious," said Lord Dowding. "Dogs have a pretty miser- able existence in London and big towns in any case," said Lord Ailwyn, But it was Lord Hastings who unleashed full English emotion about dogs: "My beloved boxer. That dog brought up by my four small children, guarded them in their prams and played with them. She was a most efficient nursery maid. "What is really meant by this bill is that the habits of dogs are not in keeping with the dignity of lamp posts. We are also told that dogs should be trained to walk in the gutter but dogs, being intelli- gent creatures, do not like walking in gutters... ." Douglas, 75, who was born in Wakopa, Man., and came to Britain as a boy, was un- moved. "T'll have another shot at it later on," he declared. Wilson Cancels Planned Trip To North America LONDON (CP)--Prime Min- ister Wilson has decided to can- cel his trip this month to Ot- tawa, Washington and New York, it was learned today. An informant said the cancel- jdtion results from a number of developments includirig the con- finuing United Nations battle over financing UN operations. Wilson had planned to ad- dress the UN General Assem- bly and also open a second round of.talks with both Presi- dent Johnson at Washington and Prime Minister Pearson at Ot- tawa. However, Wilson's second visit to Washington was to re- view developments on Britain's proposed Atlantic nuclear force following Wilson's discussions at Bonn with German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard. Wilson's trip to Bonn was. postponed because of Sir Winston Churchill's illness and death and a full British- German discussion on the nu- clear issue has not yet taken place. Therefore, there is some feel- ing in. official quarters here that: thére may not be much point in a second Wilson visit to Washington at this time. As for the Ottawa trip, which was to have taken place after U.S. Doubts Indo Bomb WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. officials say. they see No Ppossi- bility of Indonesia producing an atomic bomb in the near future. But there is little doubt that with the proper kind of help In- donesia eventually will be able to detonate a rudimentary atomic device. The director of Indonesia's army arsenal, Brig.-Gen. Har- tono, said in Jakarta Tuesday that about 200 scientists are working to make the Asian country's first atom bomb, He promised a "surprise" at the Armed Forces Day celebration in October At the state department, offi- cials said they had no informa- tion to indicate Indonesia has the. capacity to make an atom bomb or is engaged in, serious atomic weapons research. Other government sources said there is no evidence Indo- nesia is at a point where she can fabricate an atomic device for testing soon. THE TIMES today...

The call to the meeting went out to members of. Parliament shortly before a five-hour con- ference Tuesday between Mr. Diefenbaker and Dalton Camp, national party president, at which the executive meeting Sa- turday was discussed, Conservative MPs had origin- ally been called to a caucus Feb, 11-12 to determine Oppo- sition strategy for the parlia- eine session resuming Feb: But after that caucus date was set, Mr. Camp selected next Sa- turday for a special meeting of the national executive, It is ex- pected to discuss the demands of Quebec MPs for a leadership convention. The Feb. 11-12 caucus will be held as scheduled. But MPs were notified of an additional meeting this Friday, apparently as a bid by Mr. Diefenbaker to meeting armed with a vote of confidence from the parliamen- tary wing of the party. Reached by telephone at his Trois - Rivieres, Que., home, Quebec Conservative lieutenant Leon Balcer declined comment on Mr. Diefenbaker's move in shifting the caucus ahead of the weekend executive meeting, Mr. Balcer, whose letter to Mr. Camp demanding a leader- ship convention triggered the national executive meet- ing, said he might issue a state- ment before the weekend. "TI just don't know at the mo- ment," he said, Asked whether he planned to attend Friday's caucus, he re- plied: "I can't say... ." He already has said he will attend the executive meeting. Telephone calls and tele- grams went out during the day to the 95 other Conservative MPs from the office of the party whip, Eric Winkler, mem- ber for Grey-Bruce. The Diefenbaker-Camp con- ference produced no immediate solution to the leadership ques- tion and the quarrel with the the Wilson appearance at the UN, one point Wilson planned to take up with Pearson is the British concern over the Can- ada - U.S. agreement on free trade in automobiles which could hurt the preferred Brit- ish position in automobile trade in Canada. However, Wilson and Pearson were understood to have aired their respective positions on this point when Pearson called at 10 Downing Street last Sa- turday. Pearson had: teld reporters earlier he did not believe the Canada-U.S. agreement would have any' serious impact on the sales of British motor vehicles in Canada. He also said he un- derstood the reasons for British concern and the Canadian gov- ernment would consider sugges- tions to help the British exports drive. Yanks Sign M-M Mantle-$107Gs NEW YORK (AP) -- Mickey Mantle has agreed to terms with the New York Yankees for a $107,000 salary, tops in base- ball, the New York Post reports. The report says the Yankees ' also have reachefl an agree- ment with Roger Maris at $70,- 000, restoring the cut he took last season. Both players reportedly will sign official contracts within the next few days. The Yankees said neither player had signed a contract, and declined to comment on salary offers. Electricity Ups Births, Deaths UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Births and deaths rise during high electrical activity in the atmosphere. So do traffic ac- cidents. These are among the findings in a: survey by the World Meteorological Organization, a United Nations affiliate, on the relationships between weather and human biology. The relationship between heart failure and hot, humid weather has been demonstrated in. the laboratory, the report said, as has the link between arthritis and humid weather with decreasing atmospheric pressure. Research also has indicated a tie between the weather and such disorders as-asthma, schizophrenia and ulcers. A study based on 1,000,000 Statistical facts showed that deaths during periods of in- creased atmospherics rose by 20 per cent over the rate on days of low atmospherics. Births were'up by 11 per cent. Traffic accidents climbed by 70 per cent during such periods. |Work accidents were up 20 per jcent while mine accidents rose |by 12 per cent. go to the national executive Mr. Camp told reporters fol- lowing a five-hour "amicable" session that there had been no discussion of any "rapproche- ment" between Mr. Diefenba- ker and Quebec leader Leon Balcer. The party president has sum- moned the 137-member national executive to a meeting here Saturday after polling members on the Quebec caucus' demand for a meeting to consider a leadership. convention. He said Mr. Balcer's call for a convention would be dis- cussed but said "that neither implies acceptance nor rejec- tion of Mr. Balcer's demand. " "We are meeting to discuss some of the problems in our party,"" he said. "I would ra- ther have our problems than the Grits' (problems), I think we will resolve them a lot faster than they can." Mr. Camp took full responsi- bility for setting the executive party's Quebec members, 'Meeting Was Very Amicable' Camp Informs Reporters --five days before the parliamentary caucus meet, He said a small majority of the executive agreed to Mr. Balcer's demand for a meeting before Parliament resumes Feb. 16, while a great majority wanted the leadership question coeset at an unspecified ate. Mr. Balcer has told Mr. Camp in a letter that the Quebec caucus feels "the Conservative party can no longer carry on as a great national party under its present leadership and the poli- cies which that leadership have engendered." The opposition leader', atti- tude towards Quebec has tended to isolate Quebec members from the main body of the party, Mr. Balcer said. After the Quebec group issued their request for an executive meeting, several English-speak- ing members said the party must reach an accommodation party's is to meeting date for this Saturday It is understood that Mr. Camp briefed the opposition leader on this issue and in- formed him of the strength of feeling within the party. Mr. Diefenbaker had no com- ment on his meeting with Mr. Camp. Before and after the session with the president, he called in Conservative MPs for discus- sions. Working in shirt sleeves, he was on the telephone or in consultation most of the day. He and Mr. Camp talked throughout the luncheon hour. Soft - 'boiled eggs and cheese sandwiches were. delivered to the opposition leader's office. Mr. Camp denied reports he was pressured into calling the executive meeting before the party's caucus meeting. It was in the caucus, where he enjoys majority suppert, that the opposition leader planned to counter the threat of his leadership, sources said. with Quebec. Diefenbaker Had No Comments On The Closed-Door Meeting "The decision to call a meet- iny and the date when it was called was mine and mine alone," Mr, Camp said, The vote on holding an ex- ecutive meeting before Feb. 16 was "very close," he added, but a great majority wanted a meet- ing at some point to discuss the leadership issue.
