First reports indicated that the assailant was brandishing a knife and might have been trying to assassinate the 65-year-old states- man, However, Nehru branded the in- cident a "misunderstanding." He said the rickshaw puller, Babu Raso, was only waving a piece of paper, probably, a petition, and that police later found a small, rusty knife on his person. PUSHED FROM CAR Police said Raso appeared to be "drunk and mentally unbalanced." The man dashed out of a cheer- ing crowd here and jumped into the prime minister's car. Nehru saw him just in time and quickly pushed him into the street, where motorcycle policemen Mn the offi- cial escort seized the man. The prime minister, unruffled by the incident, ordered his car to proceed, as scheduled, to a meet- ling of his Congress party legisla- tors of Madhya Pradesh state. He then delivered a speech, and drove to the residence of the gov- | ernor of the province, of which | Nagpur is the capital. | THOUSANDS CHEER The incident took place while Nehru was driving from the air- port to the house of the state's chief minister, where the Con- gress party meeting was held, The sidewalks were packed with people cheering their leader's arrival, In- elections earlier this month in.

Flogging Seen As Outdated OTTAWA (CP)--Members of the TOP HUNGARIAN A 'RI Hungary's premier, Imre Nagy, shown in 1954, as he ad- dressed parliament, has been accused by the Soviet satel- lite"s Communist party of "duping the working class" and being responsible for the "un- satisfactory work of heavy in- dustry in 1954," the same fail- ings that led to the resignation of Russia's Georgi Malenkov., The party's central committee i WINGER' labelled Nagy a 'right wing deviationist."" The accusations meant victory in the internal power struggle for Nagy"s pre- decessor, Matyos Rakosi, shown seated at left. Rakosi is a ve- teran Stalinist and chief of the Hungarian Communist party.

Italy Backs Paris Pact Curbs Reds ROME (AP)--Italy lined up to- day with West German rearma- ment as her Senate decisively ap- proved the Paris aecords over itter Communist opposition. After two weeks' heated debate climaxed by Red street riots, the Senate approved the agreements Friday night by a vote of 139 to 82, making it the eighth of the 15 North Atlantic pact members to complete parliamentary action. Italy's lower house approved the pacts last December and they now await only the final signing by President Luigi Einaudi. Friday night's ballot came after a six-hour session remarkable for its good order. But while the sen- ators remained calm, Communist crowds surged through Rome loudly protesting ratification, ARREST 500 Riot police broke up one demon- stration near the Senate building and headed off others in many parts of the city. More than 500 persons were taken into custody. In Milan, several policemen and Red demonstrators were injured in a scuffle near the heart of town. Friday night's action was the strongest approval Premier Mario Scelba has won in the Senate on a major bill since he took office 13 months ago.

By late Friday night ice jams had been cleared and the water started to recede swiftly. Heavy rains and rising tempera- tures which were general through- out southern Ontario Friday hast- ened the spring breakup and also caused flooding of the Credit river at suburban Churchville. Bolton's Glasgow . subdivision, a community of about 15 families, was still marooned Friday night and large chunks of ice were left on the streets in Bolton as the water ran off, $17,750 Damages | Awarded in Case * CHATHAM (CP) Damages totalling $17,759 were awarded Fri- day to the children and estate of Mr, and Mrs. Edward Bateman of Ridgetown, killed last summer in a two-car collision near here.

McKay of Charing Cross admitted liability. He was driving a car which struck the Bateman auto. New Super Cloth Seen Big Boom To Textiles OTTAWA (CP)~Two defence de- partment scientists have found a way of spinning yarn for clothes that you may have to throw away to get rid of. - The department announced Fri- day that Col. H. A, Delcellier and Dr. J. V. Weinberger have per- fected a new metholl of spinning yarn that increases the durability and strength of textiles five to 10 times. "Important to the textile manu- facturer,"" said the department, "ls the fact that existing equip- ment can be adapted easily to handle the new process. "The finished fabrics will cost no more than those products of the present standard method," WOULD OUTLAST STYLE Col, Delcellier said later in an interview that a suit made from yarns spun the new way likely would be out of style before it wore out, It was possible clothing made from the "engineered yarn" would wear five times longer than pre- sent materials. Its "tearing strength" was five to 10 times that of present fabrics. The department said the method could be applied to any material-- wool, cotton or synthetics--and the fabric woven from the resultant yarn would benefit "to the same degree in strength and durability." Exploration into strengthening of fabrics was begun several years ago by Col. Delcellier, diréctor of interservice development in the de- partment. Dr. Weinberger, well- known textile consultant' and head of the spectal projects section, later was assigned to direct the project SECRET IN SPINNING Col. Delcellier_said the secret of the new yarn: lies entirely in the spinning. It enabled new arrange- ments of raw materials in the yarn "whereby they develop their max- imum strength," He did not believe it would pro- vide a shield against, say, radia- tion, but it might make possible fabrics more resistant to fire than present ones. Two core, or framework, yarns have been used. Both are covered with a wrapping, then combined by twisting in such a way that there is a minimum twist, Wool cloth with a nylon core spun the new way has a tear strength of 75 pounds compared with seven pounds for regular 11- ounce cloth, Fourteen-ounce cotton fabric' made by the new process, can replace 2l-ounce cotton duck. It is considered the strongest cloth ever made, ounce for ounce. The U.S. army examined the cloth made from the 'engineered yarn," 3pproved it and will test it thoroughly. MANY SEEK LICENCES The department has filed patent applications covering the new pro- cess in the names of Col. Delcellier | and Dr. Weinberger in Canada, the United States and Europe. It said numerous applications for the li- t| Arch Ferrell, ho was ec when Fuller wai cences to use it already have been received from private industry.

(AP)--With former deputy sheriff Albert Fuller sentenced to life in prison, the state of Alabama moved swiftly today to bring. another defendant to trial for the 'murder of vice foe A. L. Patterson. Prosecutor Cecil Deason said rosecut- attorney a g the calmly but his lawyer said the veteran law officer was '"'dumb- founded" at the outcome of the 25-day trial. Fuller's pretty blonde wife, Avon, was "heartbroken and in a state of shock," the lawyer said. HEAVY POLICE GUARD More than 40 sheriff's officers and Birmingham City policemen guarded the courtroom against any demonstration when the jury gave its verdict 22 hours and 11 minutes after it had received the case. Fuller is the first of three de- fendants to be tried for the slay- ing of the Democratic nominee for state attorney-general who had sworn to rid Phenix City of the racketeering that had flourished there for decades. Patterson, a former member of the state Senate, won the norlina- tion June 1, He was shot to death outside his Phenix City law office 17 days later. $100,000 Blaze Destroys Plant HAMILTON (CP)--Fire Friday destroyed the pumping house plant of the Dominion Natural Gas Co. on Highway 6 near Caledonia, 12 miles south of here.

Addressing the Windsor and Es- sex County Chidren's Aid Society, Mr. Goodfellow said it "will be a sad day for Canada' if govern- ments have to look after people who are capable of looking after themselves. He said governments should seek means to encourage the able- bodied to seek Spporhmity rather than wait for welfare agencies to take care of them. ROOKIE CONSTABLES STOR ROCKS B.C.
