Joseph Noseworthy (CCF--York South) said the government is dis- criminating against British West Indies Negroes at a time when it has an anti-discrimination bill be- fore the House and when there was talk of the West Indies becoming a Canadian province. Main theme of the debate was that Canada needs more new blood. Angus MacLean (PC--Queens) said jmimgtation is a world problem and he suggested deployment of entire populations from over- crowded countries. If Canada didn't share her resources voluntarily they might eventually be taken from her by force. Immigration Minister Harris said immigration is being tailored to the needs of the Canadian labor market, He said his department controls immigration so that Canadian workers will not be displaced, but at the same time tries not to stamp on natural optimism about Can- ada's economic future. The depart- ment was constantly consulting other government departments and the p on labor require- ments. M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, said too many immigrants with Fascist and Nazi sympathies are getting into the country. Canadian authori- ties rightly made thorough checks of applicants for Communist lean- ings, but were much less stringent in checking for other totalitarian sympathies which could be as dan- gerous for Canadian democracy. Ross Thatcher (CCP--Moose. Jaw said more immigration--he sug- gested 300,000 a year, about double the 1952 figure--would solve, or at least alleviate, two big problems: taxes and export markets. He said more immigrants would mean more consumers who would use products of Canadian fields and factories and spread out the tax burden. ~ Reds Appear To Agree With Ike's Peace Proposal By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW (AP) -- The Soviet Union agreed today to business-! like discussions with the West on the great controversies troubling world peace, but flatly reject what appeared to be some conditions | laid down by President Eisen- hower. The Russian agreement was out- | lined in a statement carried across the entire front pages of Moscow's | principal newspapers--Pravda, the | organ of the Soviet Communist | party's central committee, and Izvestia, the organ of the Supreme | Soviet. '"The Soviet government will wel- | come any step of the American | government or any other govern- ment if it is directed at the friendly settlement of difficult questions," the statement said. "This is evidence of the readi- ness of the Soviet side for serious business like discussions of out- standing problems." The statement added that the | Russians would participate in necessary, in negotiations through the United Nations. Although it was unsigned and entitled solely 'on the address of President Eisenhower," it seemed clear that the article was a state- ment by the leadership of the Soviet Union. It was clearly an answer to President Eisenhower's April 14 speech. Test Flight Ends in Tragedy Jet. Superfort Collide in Air WESTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP)--A | LA experimental flight by a ; Superfort and an F-84 Thun derjet ended in flaming disaster Friday, with the two craft carry | ing all their six crew members to death. | The planes, flying together when they suddenly burst into flames high above Long Island, apparently collided. However, investigators sald no one on the ground actually saw them come into contact. Air force spokesmen said the flight was of a "classified nature." The service denied an earlier re port that the bomber was refueling the fighter in flight at the time of the crash. However, no other de- tails of the mission were disclosed. The pilot of the jet and the five men aboard the Superfort were from the Wright air development centre at Dayton, O. Both planes had taken off from a field at the Republic. Aircraft Corp. in Farmingdale, N.Y., and flew east until they were over Great Peconic bay, an arm of Long Island sound cutting into the island about 100 miles east of New York. While over the bay they crashed, about an hour after their takeoff. Witnesses on the ground said there was a ripping sound, a burst of flames, and then the planes plunged down, trailing smoke and flame. The B-29 hit the bay near the southern shore and sank, leaving only an oil slick. The jet fell into some woods near the south shore and burned on the ground. The air force identified the jet pilot as Maj. John Davis, 32, of Dayton, O., a test pilot from the Wright centre. Not Stiff Enough, City Officials Say Oshawa health and employment officials this morning expressed doubts about the validity of a claim made in the House of Com- mons: yesterday by Immigration Minister Harris that "immigration is being tailored to the needs of the Canadian labor market." Several immigrants who have been directed to Oshawa this year have had poor health re- cords. All the main industries in town insist on prospective employ- ees undergoing stringent physical examinations, which include x-rays, "Many of these immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe have healed scars on the lungs and come within the category of those kept under observation," said an employment officer. The factories will not employ the immigrants who do not pass the medical tests, "And we have no other type of light industry or fairly easy work that we can send these people to. Oshawa is blazing a health trail by having these pre-employment health checks--but we haven't yet found out what to do with the people that don't pass the tests. POOR SCREENING "We can't send them out dig- ging ditches or working on the road for then their health breaks down and the city has to pay the cost of supporting them. "Oshawa certainly isn't the place for immigrants with poor health. In fact it is doubtftil whether they should come into Canada in any case. They are supposed to have health checks in Europe," was the statement made by a leading doc- | to tor. 'With about two million people wanting to come here why should we choose those who are sick or liable to be sick? Immigrants cost Oshawa tax- payers a lot of money in the first three months of last year. Work was hard to find but the New Can- adians flocked to the city and had to go on relief. "This year the situation, for- tunately, is entirely different," says Miss Marion Bannon, the wel- fare administrator, '""We haven't had one apply for relief. Most of the newcomers have been British or Dutch and because of the ex- cellent employment picture they |i have all found work somewhere." Nearly half of the cases listed on Oshawa's record of tuberculosis patients are people who have come into the. city from Europe. Uncover 200 Dead From War Bombs BERLIN (Reuters) -- Excavation workers have unearthed the re- mains of 200 persons trapped and killed in the cellar where they sought to dodge an Allied bombing raid eight years ago, the city dis- closed today.

Father To Face Murder Charge For Ax-Slaying Of 4 Children QUEBEC (CP)--Georges Hebert, | a 42-year-old laborer, will be] charged today with murder in the | brutal ax-slaying of his four young | children. i His 34-year-old wife, who left the | children with her husband last Saturday, will be charged with negligence. Crown Prosecutor Noel Dorion de the announcement Friday t after a coroner's court jury, berating nine minutes, held He- rt criminally responsible for the deaths of Rene, 9; Louisette, 7; Nicole, 5, and Gaetan, 3.

Mrs. Hebert, the former Gemma Picard, will be asked to plead to a charge of negligence' Presumably - the man and the woman will appear separately. Hebert was picked up by police Thursday afternoon when he emerged from a tavern, after police were tipped off by a morgue attendant that a man had asked to buy coffins for his four children, Police took Hebert to police head- quarters where he said he had slain his children. Capt. J. Alphone Matte, chief of detectives, said he was suspicious of Hebert's story because he smelled of alcohol.

Published reports here say the entire game will be televised under a deal between the CBC and the BBC. The BBC originally intended to film only the second half of the match, it was reported, but the CBC offered to put up enough money so the entire game could be televised in both countries. The cup final, climax of a season- long sudden-death tournament, will be played at Wembley Stadium a week from today. The rival teams are Blackpool and Bolton Wander- ers. Canada To Give NATO $60 Million PARIS (CP)--The North Atlan- tic treaty council Friday voted an $885,000,000 m il1 tary "equipment program, of which Canada will contribute more than $60,000,000. The four-year budget covers con- struction of airports, a radar warn- ing system and other defence in- stallations in Western Europe, in- cluding enlargement of supply ports. The U.S. agreed to contribute the largest share of the cost, 42.86 per cent. This is a slight in- crease from the 42 per cqnt the U.S. has paid heretofore. France, which gets a major share of the airports, will contri- bute the second largest amount, 13.75 per cent. Britain is third with 11.45 per cent and Canada fourth with 7.13 per cent--or $62,215,500. The budget vote followed one Thursday, in which it was agreed to spend $550,000,000 for airplanes be built' in Europe. Canada, already providing Sabre jet air- frames for Britain, is not involved in this budget. The U.S. is con- tributing about half of the $550,- 000,000.

(AP)--One of the spring series most brilliant and powerful atomic bombs ex- ploded with golden brilliance be- fore dawn today as 16 congress- men and 2,650 troops looked on. Shortly after the blast, touched off from a 300-foot tower at 4:30 a. m, PST, troops climbed from their trenches 4,000 yards from ground zero and advanced in a tactical manoeuvre. The shot, at the atomic energy commission's Yucca Flat test site 75 miles away, was a thing of beauty as seen from here. Fleecy clouds, invisible in the darkness an instant before, were momentar- ily printed with gold. Observers at the control tower, where the congressmen were sta- tioned, 10 miles from ground zero, said the shock wave at their vant- age point was the strongest of the series. It broke light bulbs and window panes in outbuildings. The flash was seen as far away as San Francisco--600 miles dist- ant, A U. 8. Navy AD-2 Skyraider drone plane, flown into the churn- ing atomic cloud, crashed. Such craft carry instruments to obtain scientific data, which is relayed to the ground by radio. Biggest.

The shock wave rattled windows here but was not as strong as that of a previous air-drop shot, which broke a downtown store window. Besides the spectacular flash, which broke a downtown store window. Besides the spectacular flash, which rivalled last week's beauty, observers were treated to an un- usual cloud formation. As the cloud shot upward a succession of dazz- ling white icecaps formed on its top. Two of these spread outward around the soaring mushroom stem forming a double collar effect. The troop manoeuvre in this, the seventh explosion of the series, was one of the largest ever held at the proving ground. PANMUNJOM (AP) -- Another 100 Allied prisoners--including a bonus number of Britons, Ameri- cans and Turks--were freed today as the Communists kept their promise to continue the exchange of sick and wounded captives be: yond the original limit.
