Ronald Walter Walli said that he and Ford, both 16 at the time, then bundled a woman's' body into a crate in Ford's sub- urban Willowdale home.

Jean Royer, consultant of the from around the world that it is clear the Geneva talks, under the sponsorship of GATT, are an inadequate technique for dealing with trade barriers-- despite the promise of the latest agreement. "GATT negotiations by their very nature are foredoomed to less accomplishment than is sought,"" he said. "It is a slow, painstaking and tedious approach in which the ultimate bargains represent the least common denominator of agreement," The growth of regional trad- ing blocs such as the European Common Market have added to the frustration of trade talks, he said.

Testifying under the protec- tion of the Canada Evidence Act--which means the evidence cannot be used against himself --Walli said he and Ford were driving around in the Cadillac just before the 1963 holiday, "looking for girls or something like that," when Ford suddenly told him he had "killed his mother and wanted me to help." He said Ford reached under the seat of the car and showed jhim a .38-calibre revolver, at |which "IT said something to the leffect,'all right.' " Walli said that in the kitchen "You want to see her?" "T saw no but he walked over and pulled the sheet off any- way."' Walli said the woman's body, in a plain grey dress, had the head covered with a blue plastic or leather bag. He did not at any time identify it as Mrs. Ford's. "T didn't feel very well,"' Walli said, "'and I believe I was sick in the sink."' Later, he vomited again in the cellar sink after he and Ford had carried the body downstairs. Walli said Ford then got some scouring powder and the two cleaned the kitchen floor and the stairs. Ford took off a pair of white pants he was wearing over his jeans and wiped the floor with them, then put them under a dresser. Walli said Ford put a doormat in the bottom of the plywood box, "'to soak up any blood," and the two put the body in, folding up the knees and bend- ing the head down to make it fit. Ford threw in the blood- stained sheet and then got a 10- foot length of clear green plastic garden hose and tied up the box with it. "We went upstairs into Wayne's bedroom," Walli con- tinued.

But, in an address to the Em- pire Club, he said British mem- bership is a long-term policy to which his party is committed. "Europe must draw closer in order to gain greater economic and political strength, and so help redress the balance of power on both eides of the At- lantic." At a news conference later, he said Britain was determined to eventually enter the ECM. He denied a suggestion made by French President Charles de Gaulle at a press conference Tuesday that Britain's entry into the economic community could open the door to greater American influence in Europe. Britain wanted to become a part of Europe to strengthen already killed once and wouldn't hesitate to do it "T gathered he meant what he was Saying and wasn't fool- ing around or kidding," Walli added.

When Wayne was born she was 39. "Tf she had had other chil- dren, it might have been differ- ent," the sister added. John Ovens 0. 0. OPTOMETRIST PHONE 723-4811 8 BOND ST.
