Singapore harbor Wednesday, the Malaysian gov- ernment announced today. One of the two men on board the Indonesian boat was cap- tured. The other was believed to have drowned. The Liberian - registered Oceanic Pride, a 9,442-ton cargo ship, was damaged by an ex- plosion just above the water- line as it lay anchored about 1% miles offshore. Damage was slight and there were no casual- ties. Police said about 12 pounds of explosive had been placed in a water discharge outlet.

However, on their return e they were intercepted a British minesweeper and both men dived into the water to escape capture. One of the men was picked wp, but strong tides submerged the other lonesian. Wednesday's incident was the latest in a series of raids launched by Indonesia against the Malaysian Federation, which groups Malaya, Singa- pore, Sarawak and Sabah (North Borneo). Ever since its creation in September, 1963, the federation has been denounced by Indon- esia's President Sukarno as a neo-colonialist plot designed to maintain British influence in Southeast Asia. Sukarno embarked on a pol- fey of "confrontation" toward the new state, which he vowed to crush. io Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Wednes- day called for immediate aid from the UN and the British threat of an attack from In- donesia. Asked whether he wanted a UN peacekeeping force in Mal- aysia, Rahman replied: 'We can't tell them in what form their aid should be given." When asked whether he wanted active UN assistance now or only in the event of a large-scale Indonesian attack, Rahman said: "Of course they could wait. But we want them to decide and prepare for it now." British Army Minister Fred- Commonwealth against the| would "respond in an appropri- late way to whatever aggressive jacts the Indonesians commit." The minister, who arrived here from Aden for a tour of British bases in Malaysia, said his government hoped Sukarno '"'will have more sense than to increase the pressure of con- frontation.""

TORONTO (CP)--Union and company officials will continue talks today on a contract for 9,500 Ford of Canada workers in Ontario who are scheduled to walk off their jobs Jan. 15. A spokesman for the United Auto Workers (CLC) said he could make no statement on whether progress had been made at a series of meetings 'between the union and company officials. Master committee talks Wed- nesday apparently centred on a walkout by an undetermined number of workers in the com- pany's assembly plant at Oak- ville early Wednesday. | The workers protested that they were being made to do} overtime work by the company before the Jan. 15 strike dead- line. The company sent most of its other night shift workers home. | When day - shift workers re- ported for work, however, pick- ets were cleared by police and the plant operated normally for Ford Contract Talks Continue Workers affected by the pro- posed strike are at four Ford plants in Oakville, Windsor, the Welland suburb of Crowland and the Toronto suburb of North York. : In Oakville, the company said it' will not schedule any more over-time during negotiations.

By ADREN COOPER WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pres- ident Johnson tentatively plans to ask Congress to eliminate the gold backing on part of the expanding United States money supply, it was learned today. The plan would make an ad- ditional $5,000,000,000 in gold available for future increases in the money supply or io meet international obligations. It calls for elimination of the legal requirement for a 25-per- cent gold backing on reserves that form the basis of the U.S. banking' system. The move would be only the second major change in rela- tionship between money and gold since the U.S. went off the gold standard in 1934, Banks must keep a certain percentage of their deposits in federal reserve banks. In turn, the federal reserve must main- tain a supply of gold equivalent to 25 per cent of these bank re- serves. It is this legal percent- age that Johnson favors repeal- ing. RATIO GOES DOWN The ratio of gold to currency and reserves has gone down in recent years for two reasons: A steady, moderate expansion of the money supply to keep pace with a growing economy, and a decline in the gold stock due to a deficit in the international balance of payments. "It is obvious that something will have to be done," one au- thority said. "Even if our gold stock remains stable, we will need more money to take care of our domestic needs." Nov. 30, U.S. currency in cir- culation totalled about $34,600,- 000,000 and bank reserves $19,- in gold out of a total of $15,- 50,000,00 has been set aside to back currency and bank re- serves, | Thus, eliminating the gold backing on bank reserves would "free" almost $5,00,000,- 000 in gold (25 per cent of $19,- 500,000,000). Official Admits Tax Money Theft COOKSVILLE, Ont. (CP) -- John S. Robertson, 52, of Port Credit, a councillor and treas- urer of the Toronto suburb of Long Branch, pleaded guilty Wednesday to the theft of $3,394 in tax money from Toronto Township where he was em- ployed as tax collection super- visor. He was remanded two weeks for sentencing. Township officials said out- side the court that an audit to uncover the total amount of the theft cost the township $6,500 and involved checking 80,000 tax cards. Detective William Teggart told the court that Robertson stole the money during a two- year period. The money had been paid to Robertson at the VANCOUVER (CP) -- The lower British Columbia main- land, still digging out from a three - week period of heavy snowfalls, is expected to be hit today with a storm bringing strong winds and either rain or snow. The area has escaped heavy snow for a week and tempera- tures have held around the U freezing mark. Roads in metro- politan Vancouver were mostly clear Wednesday for single-lane traffic at least, and major area highways were bare. A yardstick of the discord during the last month was a re- port Wednesday on unemploy- ment, showing it 30 per cent higher than the level of year ago. UNDER SENTENCE By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP) -- Nine men held in various penitentiaries are waiting for a parliamentary debate later this year that could mean life or death for them. All nine have been sentenced to be hanged for murder. Their execution dates run from Jan, 22 to May 21, with five sched- uled in Quebec, two in New Brunswick and one each in Al- berta and British Columbia. The hangings almost certainly will be put off by appeal courts or the federal cabinet however, until Parliament holds a "free vote" on the nagging, emotional issue of abolition of capital pun- ishment. The only predictions political observers are making about the votes in the Commons and Sen- ate are that they will be close, either way. The free vote--meaning party lines will be disregarded--was announced Dec. 3 by the cabi- net and could come within weeks after the session resumes Feb. 16. OPPOSITION BUILDS UP Opposition to the "noose" has been building up steadily for the last 10 years. Both Prime Minister Pearson and Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker are known to favor abolition per- sonally and they could sway many undecided MPs and sen- ators if they took part in the forthcoming debate. The 18-member New Demo- cratic group has repeatedly come out for abolition, while the four other parties in the Com- mons are believed to be split on the issue. Debate Means Life Or Death For Nine The men now awaiting execu- tion inelude Leopold Dion, 44, sentenced Dec. 13, 1963, in Que- bec City for the sex slaying of Pierre Marquis, 11, and charged in the similar killings of three other boys. Execution date is Feb. 19, with an appeal before a Quebec court. In British Columbia, Law- rence Haase, 27, was sentenced March 6, 1964, in Kamloops, for stabbing and bludgeoning Donna Ring, 14, and convicted of non-capital murder in the slaying of her twin sister Diana. Execution date is May 18, An appeal was dismissed by the Supreme Court of Canada, and he now is undergoing psychiat- ric examination for. guidance of the cabinet which can commute his sentence to life imprison- ment. More Snow, Rain For Vancouver? No over - all estimate was available, but the Carpenters Union said only 500 of 2,400 men were working in the lower mainland.

A helicopter was expected to fly eme~gency supplies be- fore the end of this week. The camp has been isolated by 12 miles of four-inch-thick ice. At Skookumchuck on Harri- son Lake, 60 miles east of Van- couver, a storekeeper reported a missing band of Indians may be growing short of food, Snow in the area was reported six feet deep. Employees of a log- ging camp were to search for the Indians.

BIRD OTTAWA (CP) -- The de- sign of brassiere frames will occopy the attention of the all-male Supreme Court of Canada at its winter term starting Jan. 27. This subject matter will come before the court in a patent infringement case in- volving S. and §. Industries Incorporated of New York City. and Hops-Koch Products Registered of Montreal. The case is of a type which is frequently difficult to ad- judge due to the complexities of the subject matter in- volved, S, and §. Industries will appeal to the Supreme Court against a judgment of the Exchequer Court of Canada declaring null and void a Ca- nadian patent for brassiere frames granted to S. and §. Industries in 1956. x Last year Hops-Koch Prod- ucts. asked the exchequer court to declare the patent in- valid on grounds of lack of novelty and 'invention and ambiguity of specification. The company said it had been manufacturing brassiere frames of a similar design for 10 years. RULES FOR HOPS-KOCH The court ruled in favor of Hops-Koch Products, holding that the patent did not live up to the essential require- ment of containing in the specification a description of Brassiere Frames. Go "A'Courting' the patent valid and to quash an Exchequer Court ruling that Hops-Koch Products is entitled to damages to be established by the registrar of the exchequer court. The New York company will contend that the subject matter of the patent is a brassiere frame of flat steel wire of arcuate shape having a ratio of longitudinal exten- sibility to lateral flexibility. This would give stability to the wire when worn so that spiral twisting does not take place.
