A spokesman said Monday the firm issued a call to own- ers of 1964-65 Chevelles and 1965 Chevrolets with Powerglide| transmissions to bring them into dealers for repairs on throttles that stick. He said a splash shield would be installed free on all cars. Unofficial estimates put the cost at $2 a car, or $3,000,000 for the 1,500,000 vehicles on the roads. The spokesman: said the firm had reports of snow or slush causing accelerators to stick. However, he. added the firm had no reports of "'personal in- juries resulting from the fewer Boston Strike End Awaited BOSTON (AP) Striking than half a dozen cases" in- volving such incidents. WILL AVERT PACKING "This happened only in heavy snow or flush at around 32 de- gtees," he said. Installation of the shield, he said, would "pre- vent slush from packing around the throttle linkage." Asked about the large num- ber of cars recalled, the spokes- man said: "Regardless of the number of incidents involved we take corrective action as the need indicates." He declined comment on whether the auto firm would as- sume responsibility for possible damages. comment on auto industry critic Ralph Nader's remark that the auto companies be required to notify the federal government anytime a defect was found in a large number of cars of one , model.

Coul- ter, president of Coulter Man- ufacturing Co, an Oshawa automobile parts firm, said Monday the federal government should consider the auto parts industry as a special case and drop immediately the. 11-per- cent tax on production ma- chinery. Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp promised last week in his budget to cut the 11 per cent tax to six per cent April 1, 1967, and eliminate it entirely by April 1, 1968.

Use Of Force ~ LONDON (AP) -- Britain de- cided today to warn Portugal that allowing shipments of oil through her territory to Rhode- sia might touch off pressures for the use of forceby the United Natons in theRhodesian crisis. Government officials said Am- bassador Sir Archibald Ross in Lisbon has been instructed to tell the Portuguese authorities that the arrival of the embargo- running tanker Joanna V_ is bound to attract the attention of the United Nations. ! Ross also has been told to say that the presence of Joanna V in the port of Beira is certain to increase pressures for trans- forming the current program of sanctions into a compulsory em- bargo on all trade with Rhode- sia's government of Prime Min- ister Ian Smith, who declared independence from Britain Nov. 11 to preserve white-settler rule. A senior British official said: "The Portuguese will be told that if such a resolution is Skindivers Claim Find Of $700,000 LOUISBOURG, N.S. (CP) -- One of three skindivers who claim to have fecovered $700,- 000 in silver and gold coins from, the wreck of an 18th cen- tury French ship says he's the happiest man in: the world, "T'm awful glad the secret 'is out," said 35-year-old Harvey MacLeod at. his home here Mon- day after it had been revealed that he, Alex Storm, 29, and Dave MacEachern, 29, had kept their discovery a secret for seven months. Storm and MacEachern are surveyors with the northern af- fairs department working on the restoration of the old French fortress here. MacLeod is a fireman with the Sydney Anti-Stalin Novel Blasted MOSCOW (Reuters) -- A top Communist official here has hit out at a famous Russian novel criticizing the Stalin era and a leading Soviet "liberal" literary magazine which praised it. Ivan I. Bodyul, party chief in the Moldavian Republic, named | Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the Novy Mir magazine in his crit- icism before the Communist party's 23rd national congress in the Kremlin Friday. He said Solzhenitsyn's novel, A Day in the Life of Ivan Deni- sovich, about a Stalin-age con- centration camp, "tendentiously distorts a certain stage in the life of Soviet people." and Li rg division of the Cumberland Railway. Their treasure find--after a three-year hunt--was not dis- closed until they were able to determine the value of thou- sands of silver and gold coins they brought to shore here last fall. They refused to say how many coins they recovered. "It was difficult to keep from talking,' said MacLeod, engin- eer-navigator of the treasure hunt, "I don't know phat's go- ing to happen now, but I'm the happiest man in the world." LOST IN 1725 The divers said the treasure, mainly in the form of coins, was found in the scattered wreck of the 132-foot French pay and supply ship Le Chameau, which went down off this former French fortress in eastern Cape Breton Aug. 26, 1725. Could Result, Via UN Note Says passed under Chapter 7 of the (UN) charter (making sanc- tions compulsory) it will at least impose a binding obligation on Portugal to apply sanctions against Rhodesia. "At.the worst, it might also call for the use of force." AFFECT SOUTH AFRICA? Informants said the imposition of mandatory sanctions also would directly affect Rhodesia's neighbor to the south--the Re- public of South Africa. The South Africans have been feed- ing oil into Rhodesia by road and by rail in defiance of the present program of sanctions which has been only "recom- mended" by the UN Security Council. Britain's policy has been to try to keep the Rhodesian crisis under Britain's own national control without direct UN inter- ference. But a breakdown of this pol- icy clearly would open the way for the United Nations to take over the whole situation. British leaders have no doubt at all that in such a situation the Communist nations would back African and Asian pres- sures for the formation of a UN force with authority to intervene in southern Africa. Lisbon in effect rejected the British demand before it was of- ficially received. A Portuguese foreign ministry spokesman re- iterated his government's good neighbor policy toward Rhode- sia, adding: "It is a problem be- tween Rhodesia and England." The grave new situation arose early today when the Joanna V entered Beira, the Mozambique port, after flouting British naval warnings to stay away. Joanna V, owned by Greek shipping magnates but under charter to a South African firm, is carrying 12,000 tons of oil which could supply Rhode- sia's needs for 10 days. Wilson calied a special meet- ing of 'cabinet ministers and military chiefs. Reports reached London that a second Greek tankervw with a load of oil from the Persian Gulf was bound for Beira. The British aircraft carrier Eagle and two escort ships were or- dered to trail the ship. Beira is the ocean terminal of the Portuguese-controlled pipe- line which runs across Mozam- bique to Rhodesia, the Portu- guese colony's western neighbor. The South African Press Asso- ciation reported from Beira that the Joanna V was lying at anchor until another vessel left the dock equipped with connec- tions to the pipeline and storage tanks. Britain Raps Portugal About Rhodesian Oil CAPTAIN THOMAS FAN- SHAW is skipper of the British frigate Plymouth, which last night attempted to intercept off Portuguese Mozambique the Greek tanker Joanna V which is carrying 12,000 tons of oil destined for Rhodesia de- spite a United Nations em- bargo. The tanker today entered Beira, the Mozam- bique port, after flouting the British warning.
