So far, details of the smug- gling by military -personnel have not been revealed in the courts martial. $2 MILLION ACTION FACING TEAMSTERS Eight Trucking Firms Sue For 'Illegal Strike' filed complaints charging the union and some of its officers with conducting an illegal strike --a charge that carries a max- imum penalty of $1,000 in fines for each day of the walkout. These complaints have not yet been heard. The companies also have ob- tained court injunctions to limit the number of pickets outside the gates of the trucking depots and to restrain violence. STARTED MONDAY The civil action started today was announced by Robert Cure- ton, chairman of the negotiat- ing committee of the Motor Transport Industrial Relations Bureau. "This illegal strike has pre- vented our companies from do- ing' their normal business and has resulted in them sustaining tremendous losses which are climbing every day," he said. He again blamed the collapse of the negotiations on the union, saying it insisted on extrava- gant demands that would cost the companies $3,000,000 a year in extra wages. The union has accused the companies of causing the break- off in the peace talks. Meanwhile, police expressed fear that more violence could break out in the strike if the companies try to move trucks from their depots. A spokesman for the 1,400 striking truck drivers said "there is nothing we can do" to prevent further clashes of the picket lines if the strike- bound companies try to move their trucks. The companies' negotiating committee blamed "the union's adamant refusal to back down from extravagant demands that would cost the companies close to $3,000,000." The main issue at stake was the Teamsters' demand for a 30-cent increase in their basic hourly pay of $1.55. The walkout started April 15, and is estimated to have tied up 85 per cent of the truck traf- fic between Quebec and Onta- rio.

He said the pro - Communist troops were "pushing their way" from Nam Tha along the road to Houei Sai, 100 miles to the southwest, indicating that they had covered 80 miles in the two days since they captured Nam Tha, a provincial capital Sisouk did not pinpoint the identity of the advancing troops but he had claimed earlier that at least 10 North Vietnam- ese and Red Chinese battalions took part in the attack on Nam Tha. REPORT UNCONFIRMED U.S. sources said there has been no confirmation that Chi- nese Communist troops were in the fighting at Nam Tha, 20 miles south of the Chinese bor- der, They said the Pathet Lao troops included Chinese-speak- ing Lu tribesmen of Laos.

(AP) President Kennedy told U.S. la- bor today that "unjustified wage demands which require| price increases' are as much| against the interest of the! United States as 'unjustified! profit demands which require! price increases." | Kennedy said: | "I speak with a single voice to the men on both sides of the nation's bargaining tables when I say that your sense of respon-! sibility both labor and management to} jthe general public--is the foun- dation on which our hopes must build for the survival and suc-| cess of the free enterprise sys-| tem." | The president, in a speech| prepared for the United ae Workers convention, said his administration would not under- take to fix prices and wages in a peacetime economy but that it must define goals and point out the national interest.

Moss May Not Regain Use Of Leg, Arm LONDON (Reutesr) -- Rac- ing driver Stirling Moss, 32, in- jured in a 100 mile-an - hour crash Easter weekend, may never regain the full use of his left arm and leg, it was an- nounced today. The Atkinson Morley Hospi- tal in London, where Moss has been recovering from the crash, said it is possible "full recov- ery and function in the arm and leg will not take place," The announcement said _ his life no longer is in danger. He was in a coma for several days after the crash. The hospital said Moss "con- tinues to make slow and steady progress. Now that his consci- ous level is so much improved and he has quite long lucid pe- riods, it is possible to say with certainty that he has a marked weakness of the whole of the left side of the body, involving REGAINS SIGHT his sight.

The council specifically asked: 1. That Nationalist China "take immediate steps" to re- ceive and resettle 100,000 ref- ugee immigrants from Hong Kong during 1962-63. 2. That Canada, Australia and other countries "'with vast open Spaces and unexploited re- sources . . . amend their im- migration laws to absorb at least a few thousand refugee immigrants from Hong Kong every year." 3. That the United States and Britain set up a joint program to temporarily resettle and edu- cate 3,000 to 5,000 school-age children every year. 4. That the responsibility of the United Nations high com- missioner for refugees be ex- panded to include resettlement of large numbers of Chinese refugees in other countries throughout the world. FOLLOWS CRACKDOWN The council's appeal came on the heels of Hong Kong's crack- down on illegal entry of ref- ugees fleeing the mainland. In the last month the colonial government has increased its patrols along the border and in the sea lanes used by scores of Chinese junks smuggling ref- ugees into Hong Kong. Refugees caught trying to en- ter the colony have been re- turned to China. The loudest criticism has come from Formosa, which, ac- cording to information here, has accepted only about 15,000 Chi- nese refugees in recent years. Hong Kong's crackdown was taken reluctantly by the govern- ment, which said it was neces- sary because the population had swollen beyond the colony's ca- pacity. Nearly 1,500,000 refugees have swarmed into Hong Kong dur- ing the last 12 years. Hong King's population was 600,000 at the end of the Second World ar and has swollen to nearly (AP Wirephoto) ,500,000,
