Tito said the trust of the Yu- goslav people in their Commu- nist leaders had been '"'consid- erably shaken." He told the 155-member cen- tral committee of the Commu- act in the investigation which led to the ouster of Rankovic, often mentioned as Tito's possi- ble successor, for fear of the ef- fect on the Yugoslav people and the outside world. His speech was made to the committee Friday night at its meeting on the Adriatic island of Brioni but was not reported by the Yugoslay news agency Tanjug until today. "I am sorry," Tito said "that I did not take action much sooner, since I am responsible as secretary of the League of Communists ,. . "We bear part of the guilt for failing to see earlier what it was all about," he said. Rankoviec was stripped of vir- nist party he had hesitated to) being accused of dominating a power-hungry and obstructionist secret police organization.

The 155-member committee, meeting Friday on the nortn Adriatic island of Brioni, ac- cepted the resignation and told him to submit his resignation as vice-president to parliament.

They complained that Prime Minister Wilson's government had chopped £71,000,060 ($213,- 000,000) off the compensation price it suggested last year should be paid 'to 275,000 steel industry investors. Details of the. controversial) bill, to be introduced in Parlia-| compensation had been brought down to £484,000,000 000,000). Edward Judge, president of the British Lron and Steel Fed- eration, said Friday night the price cut was "a breach of faith" to long-established share- holders in the industry. It would be economic suicide to let the nationalization pendu- lum swing backward and for- ward, he said. The Opposition Conservative party, opposed to state control, has said it will re- store private ownership if elected to power. .

Thirty minutes after the strike for more pay and better work- ing conditions ended several ships slipped out of their home ports--the first since the costly, crippling walkout began. About 100 ships were expected to sail from Britain's ports to- y. In the crowded port of London four ships left within the first half hour. The strike tied up 900 ships of Britain's 2,500 - ship merchant fleet, made 26,000 seamen idle and brought economic losses to Britain estimated at be- tween £25,000,000 ($75,000,000) and £50,000,000. Branch meetings of the 62,500- member National Union of Sea men Friday accepted their ex ecutive's decision to adjourn the strike for 12 months after reach ing a set vith shipowr ers earlier in the weck But at most meetings resolu- tions were passed criticizing the executive's acceptance of the agreed terms.

This shifted the Explorer out of a path that was carrying it toward a useless orbit about the sun and put it into a looping earth orbit ranging from about 18,600 to 280,000 miles above the earth.

Chartier came within seconds of assas- sinating many members of Par- liament with a crude.$5 bomb, a coroner's inquest was told Thursday. The jury called for new legis- lation that would require deal- ers in explosives to report all their sales to police The jury found that Chartier died of hemorrhage and shock about 2:53 p.m., May 18, when a home-made bomb he carried went off prematurely in a wash- room near the packed Commons chamber. Explosives experts testified the safety fuse on his copper tube device measured only two or three inches and that it must CHARTIER INQUEST TOLD ence and was reasonable. He shared 'the five jurors' concern over the unlicensed, unre- stricted sale of high explosives to strangers. Crown Attorney John Cassells; told the jury that two sections of the Criminal Code, the On- tario Mining Act and various municipal bylaws deal with vari- ous aspects of the use of explo- sives. REQUIRES 3-FT, FUSE The Mining Act requires that dynamite fuses be at least three feet long, giving the user two minutes to leave the blast- dence ing area Section 80 of the Criminal the| Code provides a five-year prison Because of a simple error of arithmetic by Chartier and wrong information given him by a woman who sold him 10 sticks of dynamite at 25 cents apiece, Chartier apparently believed his short. fuse would last 25 sec- onds explosive substance for an un- lawful purpose. Section 77 of the code makes it a legal duty for anyone hav- ing an explosive substance to "use reasonabie care" to pre- vent deaths, injuries or property damage Both the Crown attorney and Dr. Cotnam advised the jury against recommending tighter security measures on Parlia- ment Hill. Security would never be 100-per-cent effective and stringent measures would be re- pugnant in a democracy, they said.

Several others who had been standing with them, mostly holding cameras, were unable to prove their bona fides as newspaper men and were not immediately released. Squads of motorcycle police, mounted police and helmeted riot police in trucks clamped a security ring round the park and allowed no one to enter. Senior officers used walkie- talkies and radio trucks to di- rect a blanket coverage of the area, with police converging on any group larger than five. Reggie Chartrand, former |boxer and leader of Chevaliers, was not present. He had said previously he would not attend because he still was under a $100 court bond to keep the peace until Aug. 25, following demonstrations last year, ENTERED PARK Two or three of his followers managed to slip into the park to keep the date, but they were spotted and taken to jail. They wore black sweatshirts with Quebec Libre on the front and Chevaliers de l'independ- ance on the back. Tug Races To Rescue HALIFAX (CP)--The ocean- going tug Foundation Valiant was expected to reach the West German freighter Berkersheim today, but it was not definitely known if the 11,901-ton motor vessel, in collision with another freighter off Cape Race, Nfld., Friday, would re quire assis- | tance, A spokesman for Foundation Maritime Ltd. here said the 'tug was proceeding toward a point about 50 miles southeast of Cape Race where the Berkersheim and the 5,895-ton West German motor vessel Lubeck collided in rain and fog.

In December the North Ko- reans said they were supplying all - round assistance -- includ- ing weapons--to the Vietnamese people. South Korea has about 25,000 troops fighting on the govern- ment side in South Viet Nam. This number is due to rise to more than 40,000 with the ar- rival of another army division next month. SAIGON (CP)--U.S. ships and warplanes sank three North Vietnamese torpedo boats in a two - hour engagement in the Gulf of Tonkin, the U.S. com- mand announced today. Enemy gunners, firing from the boats, damaged a U.S. plane in the fighting Friday, but the pilot landed safely aboard the carrier Constellation. U.S. ships took 18 North Vietnamese crew members aboard after the Com- munist boats sank. The naval battle-took place 60 miles outside the port of Haip- | hong in international waters. It began when Communists patrol boats closed in at high speeds on U.S. ships patrolling the area, the navy said. The incident recalled the at- tack by three torpedo boats on the destroyer Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin in August, 1964: Red Korean Forces Join Cong Troops Kid To North Vietnamese Grows After U.S. Bombing The destroyer evaded torpedos fired by the craft, which the navy said came from North Viet Nam, and President John- son ordered retaliatory air strikes against North Viet Nam. The 1964 attack led the U.S. Congress to give Johnson a mandate "'to take all necessary measures in support of freedom, and in defense of peace, in Southeast Asia." This became known as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and still serves as the mandate for Johnson to con- duct the war. PREDICTS DOWNFALL Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky said today the Communist government of North Viet Nam will fall within three months under the pressure of U.S. bombing. His prediction came as U.S. Commander General William C, Westmoreland said the anti- Communist allies were also win- ning the ground war, although there is still a long way to vie- tory. A U.S. military spokesman said that since the beginning of the year, the area of South Viet Nam controlled by the Viet Cong had been cut nine per cent and the population under gov- ernment control increased by 390,700. There was, however, only a 2.2-per-cent increase in areas that could be called "secure." Premier Ky said' his govern- ment welcomes this.week's air strikes on fuel depots near Hanoi and Haiphong, targets which U.S. planes previously left strictly alone. "T do not think the North Viet- namese can continue this war," he told an audience of 3,000. SAIGON (AP) -- The ruling council of South Viet Nam's Buddhist Institute discussed plans today for a compromise formula with the country's mili- tary regime.
