Representatives of the Keep- Our-Doctors Committee, which had sought for weeks to delay implementation July 1, of the CCF government's compulsory, prepaid medical care insurance plan, met to map new strategy. Police were ordered to pro- tect doctors and their families at Swift Current following threats by an organization call- ing itself the 'Swift Current citizens safety committee." Letters signed by the com- mittee ordered doctors to re- turn to normal practice by Fri- day morning 'or suffer such harm to themselves, their fam- ilies or their property as the organization may deem fit.' ' In the wake of the threats, two doctors left their jobs at Saskatoon, at least temporarily, to get their families out of Swift Current. The doctors were on emergency duty in Saska- toon but had left their families in Swift Current. Dr. J. E. Leddy, emergency medical co-ordinator for Saska- toon, declined to release their names. GUARD LEGISLATURE? At Regina, Police Chief A. G. Cookson would neither confirm nor deny reports that police were closely guarding the !eg- islative buildings in. case of demonstrations. A fresh fight flared between the government and a group of radiologists and pathologists af- fected by an announcement last Saturday of extended out-pa- tient diagnostic services. Twenty - five representatives of the two groups at a Regina meeting demanded the govern- Bert McKay of Moosomin, Sask., said "in a measure, we of this service, which was to be provided under the Sas- katchewan hospital serv- ices plan. The groups said in a state- ment "we cannot accept this) latest move of the government) any more than we can accept the Medical Care Insurance Act --and for the same reason." About the same time ,Health Minister W. G. Davies an- nounced the government is pre- pared to continue discussions with a joint committee set up several months ago to find the best way to handle out-patient services. Mr. Davis said it was em- phasized that the services were extended only "to the extent they could be provided." | ISSUES STATEMENT Dr. E. M. Emson of Saska- toon, president of the Saskatch- ewan Association of Patholo- gists, said in a statement 'this latest directive is a further move to place further physi- cians' services under the direct control of the government." He said this would result in| an "intolerable increase" in the! demand for services at hospi-| tals not equipped or staffed to| meet the demands. At points) where non-hospital laboratory) services were gperated, these| would have been placed under| complete government control. | As the doctors' strike entered its fifth day, the provincial ex- ecutive of the Keep-Our-Doc- tors Committee met into the early hours of today to deter- mine its future. Earlier, provincial President have lost the battle." At Saskatoon, Hans Taal, a provincial vice-president of the organization, had said a "mass demonstration" was being or- ment withdraw implementation Cupar Hospital Lacking CUPAR, Sask. (CP) -- Cupar Hospital is open, it has staff and equipment, but no patients and no doctor. Cupar, 50 miles northeast of Regina, has a brick and cement hospital, opened in 1959. It has 13 beds, four nurses, four ward aides, a janitor, a cook a part- time laundress and cleaning woman. But Cupar's Dr. D. H. Ha- worth is on holidays, along with many of Saskatchewan's 900-member College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, which has bitterly opposed the compulsory public medical care insurance plan that went into effect Sun- day. The doctors only emergency treatment 34 designated hospitals. Normal! practice for most Sas- katchewan doctors ended Sun- day, with the start of the medi- cal care insurance plan. Dr. Haworth stayed one day later to deliver the baby of Mrs. Rose Donnawell, LAST-PATIENT LEAVES Since Sunday, Mrs. Donna- well and her baby boy have been the only patients. She was leaving today. Dr. Haworth, who had his normal holidays last winter when he went to Mexico, took a leave of absence. The acting hospital matron, Cupar house- wife Mrs. Edna Nord, said he did not indicate when he would be back. Dr. Haworth, a British doc- tor, practised in Alberta before coming to Cupar seven years are providing at ago. Mrs. Gladys Jones, wife of an army career man stationed in West Germany, left her ma- tron's position for a five-week vacation in her native Ireland Mrs. Nord said Wednesday she was apprehensive about be- ing in charge of the hospital without a doctor. PROVIDES FIRST AID "The first night I sat up and read a first aid book right CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS ganized to be held in front of Doctor through," she said. All the hos- pital can provide is first aid. Since Dr. Haworth left, one boy, whom the nurses thought might be suffering from a kid- ney ailment, has been sent to Regina, the nearest emergency! doctor service centre. Another boy was treated, but had come under instructions from Dr. Haworth to have bandages on his burns changed. He had been discharged from the hospital last week, along with all the other patients. Cupar, with a population of about 550, has a district about 200 square miles--green farm- ing land -- which its hospital serves, The hospital is financed by the provincial government. Un- der the compulsory hospital in- surance plan in effect in the province since 1948, the govern- ment has guaranteed financial backing to all hospitals during the legislative buildings later} this week. Representatives from commu- {nities throughout northern Sas- katchewan met to discuss plans. In Regina, Deputy Premier J. H. Brockelbank said the provin- : cial government considers the medical care situation "appar- ently under control." He said there "appears noth- ing in the nature of panic and alarm'"' and the general situa- tion is "very quiet."" He made no forecast on how long the cur- rent emergency will last. Even if emergency services being provided by about 230 volunteer doctors under the Sas- katchewan College of Physi- cians and Surgeons' plan came to an end, Mr. Brockelbank said there will be "at least near adequate" ice available. At Moose Jaw, dentists held an emergency meeting and an- nounced they would close their offices Friday for a_ special meeting in Regina. The meet- ing will consider implications for dentists of the current situa- tion. Trucker Strike Talks Resume Amid Optimism MONTREAL (CP) -- Negotia- tors for eight strike - bound trucking companies and the In- ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters (Ind.) were to meet again today amid re ports that settlement of a 12- |week walkout of 1,400 men is near. The meeting was set for 11 a.m. EDT, and it was under- stood only a few minor issues separated the two sides. © "A settlement is imminent," said Robert E. Cureton, chair- man of the Motor Transport In- dustrial Relations Bureau's ne- gotiating committee, Wednes- day night. Rod Hayes, president of Local 106 of the Teamsters, was equally optimistic. "I'm confident that we'll reach agreement today," he said. 'There appears to be no- thing important enough to keep us from settlement." The walkout, coupled with one in Toronto, has tied up most truck traffic between Ontario and Quebec. Women Protesting Polygamist Move KARACHI, Pakistan (Reut- ers)--Women in Lahore today burned in effigy a National As- sembly member who wants to repeal a ban on polygamy. The women then marched on in procession to the provincial legislature. The march was part of a countrywide campaign organ- ized by women against a bill to repeal last year's family laws ordinance, This restricted men to one wife and tightened proce- the doctor strike. dure for divorce. medical serv-| § OTTAWA (CP) -- A ship- handlers' boycott of vessels manned by crews from the Sea- farers International Union was launched at 8 a.m, EDT today in the Great Lakes and St. Law- rence River, the Canadian La- bor Congress announced. here. The CLC said simultaneous action against SIU - manned ships was taken at key points in the international inland wat- erway--at the Welland Canal between Lakes Erie and On- tario, at the Cornwall Oanal and the Beauharnois Canal in the heart of the seaway route in the St. Lawrence River, at the sea- maiway entry locks at Montreal VANCOUVER SHRINERS VISITING PARKWOOD Members of GIZEH Temple Shrine Club, Vancouver, B.C., were entertained at Park- wood home of Col. R. S. Mc- Rusia Sid Still Neutral MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Nikita Khrushchev said farewell to Austrian Chancellor Alfons Gor- bach today and declared Soviet leaders have accepted an invi- tation to visit Austria. The Soviet premier spoke at the airport when Gorbach de- parted after an official visit which included talks on aeutral Austria's bid for associate mem- bership in the European Com- mon Market. Se Gorbach, repeating the theme of his visit, said Austria's pol- icy of neutrality would remain unchanged. Informed Austrian sources said the Russians put no pres- sure on Gorbach and his party to refrain from talks with the Common Market, but Austria has said it will not seek full membership because this would be inconsistent with its neu- trality. BRASILIA--A general strike! virtually paralyzed Brazil today amid a new governmental crisis touched off by the resignation of Conservative Prime Minister Auro de Moura Andrade. Army units and police were on the alert in Rio de Janeiro and other large areas as labor leaders ignored presidential ap-| peals and pressed their cam- paign for a prime minister to be chosen from the Labor party. Andrade quit Wednesday night after only 36 hours in of-) fice.

The ovresident and his shépt-| term prime minister were at odds on a choice of navy and air force ministers. Goulart's left-of-centre Brazil- ian Labor Party and Conserva- tive forces, including Andrade's Social Democratic party, have been clashing since the crisis began to develop June 26. Goulart and some elements in Congress also are feuding over how much power the legislative and executive branches should have. Goulart has three days, un- der the constitution, to nominate a new prime minister for con- gressional approval. If he does not--or if the chamber of depu- ties rejects three successive nominees--the Senate can name its own choice. Alfredo Nasser, former jus- tice minister and a member of the Social Progressive party, is Goulart's reported choice. Meanwhile, Gen. Machedo Lopes, undersecretary for war, said in a broadcast that calm reigns throughout the country. But he added that as a pre- Army Alert As Brazil Hit By General Strike cautionary measure, troops had been asked to guarantee order in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where lines formed in front of government food trucks. There were reported shortages of rice, bans, sugar -and macaroni, The crisis was sparked June 26 when Prime Minister Tan- credo Neves resigned his office in order to be able to run for congress in next October's elec- tions. Union leaders have been de- manding that a member of the Labor party be named prime minister. Even after Andrade quit, Dante Pelacani, president of the national confederation of indus- trial Workers, announced "we shall go ahead with the strike anyway." Goulart himself left the Bra- zilian capital of Brasila Wed- nesday for his farm in the state of Goias and a radio broadcast said he had already comprom- ised. hy nomjnating Andrade as prime minister.

But several Europeans also were killed or | wounded. The gunfire panicked tens of thousands -of Moslems in the midst of a victory celebration. ALGIERS (AP) -- Tens of thousands of delirious, flag-wav- ing Algerians poured into this capital today for an independ- ence victory party of loyal units of the nationalist army. Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda's regime strove desper- ately to bring order. Govern- mental administration virtually ground to a halt; teen-age Mos- lems in blue jeans and revolvers stuck in their belts roamed the streets, "helping" to direct traf- fic. After a wild night, police--in- cluding both Moslems and Eu- ropeans--succeeded early today in. closing off some of the main streets for the victory parade.

Against the background of jubilation, leaders of the new- born Algerian nation were locked in a power struggle with the growing threat of anarchy. SEIZE APARTMENTS Heady with independence, Moslems seized apartments and homes once occupied by Frenchmen and stole scores of Europeans' cars from the streets. No one moved to stop them. "We cannot do anything; its anarchy,"' a Moslem policeman told Europeans who paraded into Algiers' central police headquarters to register com- plaints. Thousands of Moslems still celebrating independence, pro- las, some in uniform and some with armbands on their workers overalls, roamed through the streets, proudly displaying their guns. Others took up posts near public buildings, but there was little to protect inside. A handful of Europeans who showed up to work in the Al- giers prefecture whispered in empty rooms. In many offices, papers were strewn on the floor. Algeria's European minority expressed growing pessimism that they could have a safe and fruitful future in the new na- tion. European businessmen in Oran doubted that that once- booming commercial centre could regain its former prosper- ity, although some Moslems were beginning to trickle back to work there. claimed by France Tuesday, poured through the streets of Algiers ignoring all signs and traffic laws.

This was the first indication of any setback in the 87-year- old former prime minister's re- covery from his accident a week ago today. The medical bulletin said, however, that "Sir Winston is comfortable and had a good night." Sir Winston broke his left femur 'n a fall in Monte Carlo.

(CP) -- No ships manned by crews of the Seafarers International Union of Canada (Ind.) were entering the Welland Canal today as a boycott by shiphandlers against the union went into effect. The action by the shiphandl- ers, members of the CLC-affili- ated Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers, was intended to direct attention to the violence-ridden dispute for jurisdiction on the Great Lakes and the St. Law- rence Seaway between the SIU and the CLC mariners union, the Canadian Maritime Union. After 8 a.m. today the only ships allowed to move through the Welland Canal from the Lake Ontario side of the water- way, which connects Lake On- tario and Lake Erie, were those already in the system. At Port Weller the United States ship South American, carrying Shriners attending a mammoth convention in Tor- onto, waited in lock No. 1, then turned about and headed back to Toronto. Early reports from the canal were vague. Immediately the boycott came into effect, W. A. O'Neill, divisional superintend- ent of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority, banned newspaper men from the canal area. St. Catharines police at the Lake Ontario end of the canal were enforcing the ban against reporters. SIU BOYCOTT STARTED AT KEY CANAL POINTS Passage Denied By Shiphandlers also included an embargo on loading SIU - staffed iron ore ships at Sept-Iles, 470 miles northeast of Montreal. "The denial of passage to SIU-manned ships will be main- tained until there is a cessation of the campaign of violence, harassment, picketing, hold-ups and boycotts of Canadian-owned ships in the Great Lake ports and elsewhere," said William Dodge, CLC executive vice- president. OTHERS NOT HINDERED "Ships manned by members of the Canadian Maritime Un- ion, the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and Gen- eral Workers, the United Steel- workers and other bona fide trade unions as well as foreign ships will be allowed unhindered passage."" Mr. Dodge's statement was the first formal acknowledge- ment by a union officer that the boycott had been launched. The CLC said the decision to boycott SIU-manned ships fol- lowed "'fruitless efforts to halt - seg of brutality, eo ation a coercion unparal- lelled in--Canadian labor his- tory." The violence erupted as two rival marine unions--the Cana- dian Maritime Union, backed by the CLC and organized labor generally, and the Seafarers International Union of Canada-- were locked in a bitter struggle for supremacy among lake sea+ men. No Trouble At Montreal MONTREAL (CP) -- Boycott of vessels manned by members of the Seafarers' International Union appeared to have failed to materialize in the Montreal area of the St. Lawrence Sea~ way today more than two hours after the scheduled 8 a.m. EDT deadline. Handlers at locks in the area appeared to be putting vessels through with no sign of trouble. The Redwood and the Chi- cago Tribune, both manned by SIU members, sailed down- bound unmolested. A spokesman for the Seaway Authority said "we'll get ships through if we have to take peo- ple off desk jobs to do it." Sea- way workers in the area were understood to -have been told they will face immediate sus- pension if they refuse to handle SIU-manned ships. WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States has informed its European allies of the success- ful development of a new, 'se- cret electronic lock which will be used to reinforce safeguards against the accidental or unau- thorized firing of nuclear weap- ons. President Kennedy is ex- pected to ask Congress soon for an appropriatioy of funds to complete work on the device and start manufacture and in- stallation in nuclear weapons. The. allies were told through the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization, it was learned, that the new electronic lock will broaden the margin of safety in nuclear weapons control sys- tems and strengthen direct con- trol over weapons by top com- manders. U.S. officials said the developmert of increasingly se- cure control systems becomes more important as the number of weapons increases. The. locking device already is perfected for the larger nuclear weapons such as warheads de- ployed in the European NATO area for usé on medium range ballistic missiles, ture pinned together in an gat | ation. --(AP Wirephoto) The device isdescribed as an | U.S. Reveals New Atomic Safeguard electro-mechanical system con- trolled by a radio signal to be sent from a command head- quarters remote from the actual missile site. In effect, the device in its nor- mal position makes a break in the electrical circuit necessary to the firing of the nuclear war- head. It couldn't be fired until an authorized commander dis- patched the necessary coded ra- dio signal that would operate the device. The device itself would not do the firing but it would control the "arming'"' of the warhead. This is comparable to cocking a rifle in advance of firing it. Associates said Kennedy has put heavy emphasis on the need to surround nuclear weapons with a variety of safeguards. They must be protected against theft, any kind of accident which could cause an explosion and --under combat conditions --against possible use by a hard pressed local commander who was without presidential authority to start an atomic war. Under U.S. law only the pres- ident can authorize the actual use of atomic weapons,for com- bat ---or indeed for ting. LL EOD SRS
