Canada Not Fearful Of Arctic War New York, Sept. 19--(AP)--Lester B. Pearson, Canada's ministef for external affairs, said his Govern- ment is rot so worried about attack over the Arctic as it was several years ago. Pearson, questioned by United Nations correspondents on the ABC's "united or not" program, was asked about the "scorched ice" plan to put air bases along Canada's Arctic 'border. : He replied that his talks with military men gave him the im- pression 'that an attack over the Arctic is not considered as likely now. He said these 'opinions ap- parently were based on the "scale of attack" necessary for such an operation. Saying that he felt it was neces- sary to admit Western Germany to "some kind of association" with the rest of Western Europe, he said he opposed building up a German Army under German command. "I don't think anyone wants that . . . we know from bitter ex- perience that a German with arms in his hands is a dangerous fellow," he said. He added, however, that Germany must be involved in collective ac- tion in Europe "if we're going to de- fend freedom as far east of the Rhine as possible." London Area Hard Hit By Gas Strike London, Sept. 19 (Reuters)--Two million homes in the London area were hit today by a gas workers' strike.

The strikers have been out since Friday in support of a claim for wage increase of four pence an hour. They were dissatisfied with an increase of two pence an hour awarded them after negotiations between their union and the State- run gas board. This would have brought their pay to 3s 3d.an hour.

Churchill Charges Labor Wrecks U.K Unity During Crisis : By GLENN WILLIAMS London, Sept. 19-- (AP) -- Winston Churchill accused Britain's Labor Government today of plunging the country into bitter political strife at a time when it should be seeking unity against Communist enemies at home and abroad.
