Eleven United States Air Force Hercules transport planes landed in New Delhi today be- fore Nehru spoke in Parliament} and British Britannia trans- ports, carrying arms and flown by American crews, also touched down at the capital's airport. Four RCAF DC-3 transports also arrived for supply opera- tions. Two more are coming. Averell Harriman, U.S. as- sistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs, in India to explore the country's military needs, saw Nehru today and was scheduled to have another meeting with him later. A similar British mission headed by Gen. Sir Richard Hull, chief of the general staff, also met the premier. The newspaper Indian . Ex- press said the Anglo-American missions gave India a charice to repair its '"'grevious shortcom- ings" in weapons and military equipment and said "this must be done irrespective of the olive branch and other blandishments dangled before us by the Chi- nese."

(CP)--Three young children were crushed against the wall of their house and killed Thursday when a trailer truck with no . brakes swerved into their front yard to miss a stalled schoo! bus. The children, Gerald Brochu, five, and his brothers, Yvan, four, and Simon , three, were playing beside their father's tractor which was towing the school bus off the road.

Answering questions being pressed by members of Parlia- ment, Nehru said the cease-fire continuing. He said: "The Chinese cease fire has continued and so far firing on either side." Reports from the front said there have been no clashes be- tween the opposing armies since Chinese went into effect at mid- night Thursday. REDS HALT ADVANCE Nehru said the Chinese had stopped their advance in Assam on the northeastern frontier. He said they were between the town of Bomdila, which they captured earlier this week, and the village of Foothills. They were '"'partly dispersed-and partly together" Nehru said, and had stopped.

(OP)--Rigid insis- tence on "'business' arbitrary right to do as it pleases in the pursuit of maximum profit" has paralyzed efforts to deal with industrial dislocation in Wind- sor, the United Auto Workers said today. The border city has lost $59,- 761,000 in wages and salaries between 1956 and 1959 because of industrial transfer, said a brief to the federal cabinet which dealt mainly with latest plans by the Ford Motor Com- pany of Canada to shift to Tor- onto.

Donnelly received a threaten- ing telephone call. The anonymous caller, a man, threatened to kill Donnelly's wife (who was visiting in To- ronto for the day) if he did not follow instructions. He told Donnelly: "If you want to see your wife alive again, do as I say -- fill up those two paper bags on the counter outside your office with cash and start walking up Sim- coe street north in the direction of the Armories." Donnelly laid down the re- ceiver momentarily.to alert his assistant manager, Hugh Revel. When he picked it up again the man 'had left the line. © Donnelly quickly spotted two large brown paper bags atop the outside counter and tele- phoned the police. The duffie- bag went unnoticed for several minutes: until the ' 'or oerge Mi ad. thea -noticed, -immediately~ be- low where the bags rested, by Revel who opened it and found the hoax-bomb equipment. It was described by the police as being "cleverly-conceived and designed to create the im- pression that it contained high explosives". Sergeant Jordan said the con- 'rivance was put together with The stirring drama was en- acted unknown to about 24 cus- tomers and several members of the staff -- some of the latter still didn't know about it this morning. Sergeant McCammond closed the bag and removed it to a police cruiser not knowing whether or not it contained high explosive, as suggested by the anonymous phone-caller. Chief of Police Herbert Fline toff said there was a direct link between the anonymous phone call, the paper bags and the duffle-bag, which created quite a stir around police head« quarters until the hanmless nae ture of its contents was defe initely established. The hoax bomb apparatus was "'de-activated" by Sergeant Harry King on a bank of the Oshawa Creek. The anonymous phone-callet told Manager Donnelly: "There's enough TNT around you at this very minute to blow up your building." Donnelly said he was too ex- cited, especially when his wife's life was threatened, to remem- ber everything said by the man, He described the caller's voice as "an average man's voice without any accent of any kint guis! features, The bank's switchboard - ator received an anonymous call Thursday morning from a man who requested Mr. Donnelly's home address, but this was ree fused.

Plan Protects Labor Against Automation OTTAWA (CP)--Bringing out what it called pioneer legisla- tion, the Progressive Conserv- ative government Thurs- day night proposed to set up a "labor mobility'? scheme to re- locate workers who lose their jobs due to industrial changes such as automation. A bill introduced in the Com- mons calls for Ottawa to pay half the cost that any province or industry runs into in mov- ing such workers--plus their families--to any other part of Canada where a job is avail- able. In addition, the federal gov- ernment would stand ready to contribute up to half the cost of research and investigation in any one industry--or group of industries--leading to what the bill calls a '"'manpower adjust- ment" plan, involving retrain- ing or moves. Labor Minister Starr, speak- ing before the Commons ap- proved the sketchy resolution that preceded the bill itself, said the legislation is "designed to deal in a positive way with some of the human problems caused by automation." Mr. Starr made no estimates of the cost of the plan or the possible number of workers in- Woman Found, Believed Strangled OTTAWA (CP)--Mrs. Thelma McLaughlin, 43, was found dead today in her O'Connor Street apartment in mid-tawn Ottawa and police said she may have been strangled.

Nor did he mention any specifie regions or industries considered ripe for this kind of help. The bill itself -- introduced shortly before the House rose at 10 p.m. EST and not yet de- bated--includes these key riders to the labor-mobility scheme: The government will only pay the "labor mobility incentive," as the bill calls it, for a man dislocated by industrial change. He will qualify for the money only if he can't get another job in the same area or can't move elsewhere without finan- cial help. Payable either to an industry or unions within it, the federal money would cover half the cost of research and investigation leading to what the government legislation described as "a man- power adjustment program." This program, the bill goes on to explain, covers both the job of sing - the er ef. fects of an industrial change and now to cope with them. The latter measures could include training or retraining, moving the workers affected, or other steps. In general opposition has wel- comed the step, though with some reservations. Tom Berger (NDP--Vancou- ver Burrard) said the measure May prove useful, but added that it is not adequate because it deals only with the plight of the worker after he has lost his job. "What is required is a will- siingness to plan the country's economic future--to intervene at every stage, if that is nec- essary, in order to provide jobs and security for all Canadians. " . . We ought to be pre- pared to regulate investment, to regulate the location of indus- try, to regulate the develop- ment of new products." Mr. Berger said it isn't good enough to say that the federal government will come on the scene with its 'adjustment' plans after all these decisions have been made in the. top echelon of industry by 'people who are not responsible to the country itself." >
