EIGHTEEN PAGES Newe EEC Expected BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- Brit- ain is expected to submit a new plan today to get the bogged-down Common Market talks going again as the six Eu- ropean members stubbornly clung to their previous stand on the key question of Common- wealth farm products. The British delegation worked into the small hours this morn- ing to prepare the document, which contains changes Britain r UK.

Latent differences among the six in their attitude towards the terms of Britain's entry were forced to the surface Wednes- day for the first time. Foreign Minister Paul - Henri Spaak of Belgium, in a five- hour session of the six, criti- cized the French delegation for its negative attitude towards Britain's application. Heath must fake home firm assurances that the Common Market, with Britain as a mem- ber, will conduct its joint agri- cultural price policy without freezing out Commonwealth farmers. The six--France, West Ger- many, Italy, Belgium, The Neth- erlands and Luxembourg--met to prepare for their encounter later this afternoon with Heath. Talks Wednesday showed no progress on Commonwealth ag- riculture. Britain's main task is to obtain from the six a guar- antee that an enlarged commu- nity would continue to provide certain extent on imports from non-member countries. | France, as the major agricul- tural producer of the six, is lik- ely to benefit most from a pol-| icy aimed at self-sufficiency.

The 52-year-old president es- caped unhurt, but a schoolboy was killed and a policeman died later in a hospital of injuries. The blast--apparently from a grenade -- injured 55 persons, among them members of the president's party which in- cluded cabinet ministers and se- nior government officials. Police held 25 persons for questioning, and closed high- ways into the area, The bomb was thrown Wed- nesday in the border village of Kulungugu as Nkrumah was driving south following talks in Upper Volta with President Maurice Yameogo. The injured were being treated in a hospital at nearby Bawku. Though unhurt, Nkru- mah also was examined. Last weekend, Nkrumah pre- sided over the 11th National Congress of his People's Con- vention: party in Kumasi. Throughout his current tour of central and northern Ghana he has been receiving an enthusi- astic welcome from villages. Nkrumah was driven to Ta-| male, the northern region cap- ital, where he spent the night. The government said the bomb exploded near Nkrumah's car as he was stepping out to greet children. It was the first known direct attempt on Nkru- mah's life president. : 5 Carol Anne Wood, 20, a staff supervisor at the Annual Day Camp sponsored by the Osh- awa Recreation Committee is seen crossing the Oshawa Creek by the use of. a since he became} "Breeches Buoy'.
