(CP) The {United Automobile Workers' Union WCIO-CCL) announced Tuesday it fis starting a nation-wide drive to raise funds for a "Christmas-cheer und" for striking Ford of Canada workers. Emil Mazey, international secre- tary-treasurer of the UAW, said in fannouncing the drive that all union members across Canada will be fasked to send $1 to UAW head- quarters. a He said the union next week will give an extra allowance of $10 to E picketers at the striking automo- tive plants here in Oakville, and in Etobicoke, a Toronto suburb. The cash is in addition to the regular strike pay of up to $25 a week given the picketers by the union. Mr. Mazey also announced that almost $525,000 has been contrib- uted in aid of the strikers. Of this $462,000 came from the UAW lo- cals: $10,600 from CIO-CCL affili- ated unions: $14,400 from AFL- TCL unions and private gifts; anc $5600 from Windsor merchants. Paper Production Hits Record Point MONTREAL CP) Pulp and B paper production in Canada will set a record this year of about ,900,000 tons, R. M. Fowler, pres- Pl ident of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, states in a year-end review. This is about five per cent more than last year, and almost two per cent above the previous record year of 1951, and gross value of production should equal 1951's level of $1,200,000,000. : Newsprint," which accounts for 60 sper cent of pulp and paper ton- nage, also set a record of 5,900,000 tons, compared with last year's previous record of 5,700,000 tons. Newsprint exports will run more than 5,500,000 tons, also a record and some four per cent above 1953. Newsprint exports to the United States, which takes 89 per cent | of Canadian production, probably will be up fractionally, while over- seas shipments will be some 675, 000 tons compared with 473,000 tons in 1953. : The figures reflect the inherent stability of newsprint demand, says i Mr. Fowler, Key Figures Hasten To Paris For Debate On A-Weapons | ways of speeding ratification of the Paris agreements freeing and re- arming West Germany, and of get- ting that rearmament into high gear once ratification is achieved, | TWO-DAY MEET They will be joined by Britain's | Foreign Secretary Eden for further talks Thursday, on the eve of Fri- day's opening of the NATO coun- cil's annual review session. For- eign, finance and defenee minis- ters of the 14 NATO countries will participate in the two-day council meeting. The atomic issue came to the fore as a result of a feeling in- creasing in European diplomatic circles that atomic weapons of any sort should not be used without the prior approval of all NATO mem- ber governments. A "new look" plan, approved in principle by the NATO ministers last year, provided for the use of atomic weapons to counterbalance OLD VIC SCORES ! TORONTO (CP)--London's fam- ous Old Vic made its first appear- ance in Canada Tuesday night with a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream' that combined equal parts of Shakespeare, Men- delssohn and terpsichore to what Toronto critics termed "an amaz- ingly successful degree." The Old Vie's production played in Maple Leaf Gardens in the first of three performances here before it moves to Montreal where it will close out a North American tour. The performance drew rave no- ices from Toronto critics Herbert Whittaker, ng The Globe and Mail, said "th Old Vie Dream provides a spec- tacle the like of which Canada has rarely--if ever--seen, brisk, breathtaking and beautiful." "Perhaps the Old Vic does aban n $ 1 1 "Consumption in North Amer- ica," he comments, "has increased steadily year by year despite minor ! setbacks or hesitations of the econ- {| omies ui the continent.

IN AGREEMENT | A plan submitted by Western chiefs of staff, sitting as NATO's military eommittee, is believed to 'tecommend 'that the choice of weapons in case of an attack from the East be left to the supreme allied commander in Europe. That post now is filled by Gen. Alfred M.

Exports of high alpha and un- bleached sulphite pulps remained at 1953 levels, but exports of all other grades increased, with ex- | ports of bleached chemical grades up about 23 per cent, Total exports of all pulp would run about 2,164,000 tons, compared | with 1,955,549 in 1952 and 2,243,307 |in 1951, the record pulp-export | year. As pulp for export accounted | for 20 per cent of output, export demand, said Mr. Fowler, has had a direct and satisfactory bearing on the industry as a whole. The stability of the industry in the face of minor economic adjust- ments of one kind or another had satisfactory secondary effects in Canada, Mr. Fowler said.
