SHOULD GO ALONE But a number of Tories do fot want Britain to give up. They consider it an insufferable humiliation and contend the U.S. is seeking to dictate Brit- ish policy. Their idea is that Britain should go it alone in de. veloping the Skybolt air - to- ground missile. The prime minister and his defence ministern on the other hand, apparently have faced the fact that no European nation to- day can take on the financial burden of building an effective independent nuclear force. The U.S. spends more on nuclear missiles alone than do all the European NATO countries on their over-all defences. Britain, France or any other European nation must have American help and thus they must accept the American pro- position that control of the nu- clear me cannot be divided 'or Leading the delegation which 'will face Thorneycroft Tuesday will be Sir Arthur Harvey, chairman of the party's . de- fence committee. With him will be most of the 15 officers of the committee and an unknown number of angry MPs. WILL FLY TO U.S. Later Harvey will fly to the U.S. to meet with the officials who were working on the Sky- bolt. After he returns Jan. 12 the MPs will seek another ses- sion with the defence minister. Aside from dissatisfaction with Polaris, they also are con- cerned over the defence gap be- fore the submarine - missile could be in operation. They are expected to urge the govern- ment to go all-out on develop- ing the Blue Steel Mark 11 weapon to bridge this gap. The fear is that Britain will be independent and it is prob- ably this fact as much as any Other that gnaws at British ride. The Polaris affair will make it still more difficult for Macmil- lan to sustain his argument that Britain still follows an independ- ent foreign policy. He. will be severely tested when the House meets again after the recess, both by oppo- sition Labor members and by Sen.

Detective Sergeants Jean- Louis Langlois and Gerard Tar- dif had time to fire only one shot each in Montreal's third consecutive violent Friday. Langlois' shot fatally wounded who, one of the twe men masked with searves and carry- ing 45-calibre revolvers: . burst into the New Method Laundry.

It was found that the gun dropped by the dead man was not loaded. Detective Sergeants Langlois, Tardif, Rolland Ouellette, and Rene Lachance were sent to the laundry after an anonymous telephone tip that there would be an attempted holdup. The 15 women clerks in the office were informed and were nervously awaiting the robbery. The detectives escortd laundry accountant Yvan Goyr to. the bank and back, and took up po- sitions in adjoining offices flank- ing the main office.

Even Kingston Seeks New Vice Squad KINGSTON (CP) -- Mayor W. T. Wills says he will urge formation of a morality squad, a shakeup of police department personnel and hiring of addi- tional policemen, at the January meeting of the Kingston police commission. Mayor Wills. said. in an inter- view Kingston police have an acute manpower shortage and recent disturbances in the city have thrown a tremendous strain on the 70-man force. The mayor said one detective worked 131 hours overtime in one month during the disturb- ances involving local youths and soldiers from nearby army bases. Overtime is compensated for by time off. No extra pay is given. He said a number of men "are just not good policemen." They would probably be called before the police commission and if possible would be dis- missed. The morality squad would concentrate on liquor and vice problems but would. also be ex- pected to carry out crime pre- vention work with the city's youth. Working in plainclothes dur- ing the evening and night, the squad would be expected to "check all known hangouts and vice in the city" and to prose-| cute all charges CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 ¥ partitions when the two men rushed in, shouting in French: "This is a holdup, everyone on the floor." Following instructions, the staff dived behind their desks and Langlois and. Tardif, who had the best view of the men, snapped off their shots. Because of the layout of the building, they couldn't get out from behind the partitions and through the lobby in time to stop the fleeing bandit. The wounded man tried to get out with his accomplice's sup- port, but on the sidewalk his companion dropped him. He died en route to hospital.

DIEF HAPPY OVER CHINA-SOVIET RIFT Defends Trade With Reds NASSAU, The Bahamas (CP) Prime Minister Diefenbaker has championed Canada's right to. trade with Communist na- tions and hinted that Canada and Britain were miffed over what they called President Ken- nedy's secrecy preceding the recent United States stand in the Cuban crisis. "There are some who say," Diefenbaker lashed out Friday in a Kiwanis Club of Nassau meeting in the Nassau Beach Hotel, "that we ought. not to trade with Communist coun- tries. That fs not the view of my country." "The government of Canada takes the view that excepting defence and strategic mate- rials, there should be trade with Communist countries. There is no other way in which 4 you can break down the walls lof separation and siispicion. "We have dealt with Cuba throughout the last several years in non-strategic mate- rials. We have dealt with China. We have had a large trade in wheat with China . . . I believe if we follow the course you can break down, as I said a mo- ment ago, those wails of sus- picions." CALL SMISINTERPRETED On the Cuban issue, the prime minister said: "The events on the last few months in Cuba have, insofar as Canada is concerned, been misinterpreted. There have been those who said that we did not take our stand immedi- ately. We are united with the United States in North Amer- ican defence im the preserva- tion of peace in the air in North America. "We were not consulted in advance. The United Kingdom was hot consulted in advance. The United Kingdom was given the information, I think, on the Sunday. We learned on the Monday, in advance of the president's speech. "There was 20 delay on our |part. There was, however, an extension of a day or so in or- der to prepare our defences to the end that our responsibilities in NORAD would be carried out."

Between the Fidelistas and the rabid opposition are the dazed neutrals, many of whom once gave unqualified support to Castro. One of these put it this way: "The exiles in Miami, Mexico and other cities are not even able to provide leadership, They' are split into more than 100 groups, unable to come up with a concerted program. If their opposition to Castro can't bring' them together, what can we ex- Ideology has split numerous families. Brothers refuse to talk to each other. Some divorces are blamed on political incom- patibility. Having made the preliminar- ies to leaving Cuba as costly and uncomfortable as possible, the Fidelistas are happy to see their enemies leave.

A UN spokesman said an un disclosed number of UN jet fighter planes swooped down on the Tshombe air base at Kol- wesi and fired on the landing strip, destroying a Vampire jet, and two propeller-driven planes. The UN jets also attacked a propeller-driven plane in the air but it was not known if it had been damaged, the spokes- man said. The reports said both sides were making extensive use of trench mortars and said most of the heavy fighting was con- centrated in the area near a smelter of the big Union Miniere company. Katangan forces were holding out at their barricades in this area on the road to Kipushi and Northern Rhodesia. The reports said , Hlisabeth- ville was still without electri. city and running water.
