Delegates from the three coun tries remained silent when the Polish leader was given a standing ovation at the end of his 25-minute address. Dealing head - on with criti- cism of Kremlin policy, Go- mulka asked: "Who is served by the attacks of some Communist parties on the Soviet Union?" Khrushchev beamed with pleasure when he added that "without the Soviet Union no single socialist state could exist in the fight against imperialism. "Differences of opinion should be removed patiently and qui- etly in internal discussions, Such open quarrels are detrimental to international communism," he said. Toward the end of his speech, which was largely devoted to Communist bloc differences and support of the Soviet stand, Go- mulka took a more optimistic tone. He said there still was time for the Chinese and their sup- porters to change their "harm- ful views." Their "errors," he said can still be corrected. at $300,000, There were no in- juries. "No Communist party should forget this," he declared. China's delegate was not listed to speak today as earlier newspaper men to app 1 fore a high court for refusing to answer questions in its inves- tigations into British naval se- curity. . The reporters, both of the London Daily Sketch, refused to tell the three-man tribunal the sources of their information about British admiralty clerk William Vassall, who was con- victed last November of spying for the Russians. He was sen- tenced to 18 years. Their refusal came after the tribunal ordered reporters to disclose their sources of infor- mation when necessary and re- levant. Tribunal Chairman Lord Rad- cliffe gave the two until today to think it over with the warn- ing of possible "'further conse- quences" if they persisted in their refusal. REMAIN FIRM But the reporters, Reginald Foster, Daily Sketch freelance reporter, and Desmond Clough, the paper's air and scientific correspondent, said they had not| changed their minds. | Radcliffe replied that he) would certify to the high court that an offence had been com- mitted by their refusal to an- swer questions, He added: "It is the view of the tri that in making this refusalUhey have mistakenly preferred what they believe to be the require- ments of their profession or calling to what we believe to be the greater public interest." Foster refused to disclose the source of a report that Vassall, a self - confessed homosexual, bought and wore women's clothes in London, Clough re- fused to name the source of his information that Russian trawl- ers turned up with "uncanny precision" in the area of secret NATO sea exercises.

Banks, waterfront foe of Com- munists, said Wednesday he would class Canada's top labor leader -- President Claude Jo- doin of the Canadian Labor Congress--as a Communist "'fel- low traveller." Without backing his allega- tion, the boss of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada tied Mr. Jodoin in with the SIU's old line that Communists have infiltrated the CL(-affili- ated Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transpor'. and Gen- eral Workers. The CLC and the Canadian brotherhood -- both archene- mies of the SIU.and its present leadership--are known publicly or their anti-Communist posi- Jon. Mr, Banks, testifying for his| eighth day before the Norris da- bor inquiry, claimed that top officials of the Canadian broth- erhood have put Communists to work as organizers among ma- rine workers on the west coast and the Great Lakes. fi ti FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL. 723-2211 He said Mr. Jodoin has had Banks Ties CLC Chief In With Communists hood president, W. J. Smith, who is also a CLC vice-presi- dent. ASKS WHAT IT MEANS Mr. Justice Norris asked if this meant that the CLC leader was a fellow traveller. "I would class him ag that," testified Mr. Banks. The Vancouver jurist, whose one-man investigation of Great Lakes labor strife is heading to- wards its 80th session, noted that the SIU used to shout its anti-Communist warcry in 1959 when it was fighting the Com- munist .-. dominated Canadian Seamen's Union, "IT know quite a bit about Commies," said the SIU chief. "T've been fighting them for a long time--successfully." "Is it not possible that the ghosts of that past are still haunting you?" asked Mr. Jus- tice Norris. "No, it isn't,' replied Mr. Banks, CLC SEES DISTORTION Maurice Wright, lawyer the 1,050,000-member for CLL, the SIU has a record of deliber- ate distortion and misrepresen- tation.

He told reporters at Kipushi he would drive on to Elisabeth- ville to make arrangements with troops to enter Kolwezi. -"I am going to Elisabethville first of all to see my people," he said. "I am going to meet the UN representatives to examine with them the means for their troops to go to Kolwezi." Asked when the UN could go to Kolwezi, Tshomber replied: "I said in my statement (two days ago) that the UN could have freedom of movement." "There are no negotiations on this. It is simply a question of making the arrangements," he said. Two companies of the Fifth Gurkha (Indian) Frontier Re- giment were standing by to go into Kolwezi by air. i Douks Quit Park For Warmer Spot VANCOUVER (CP)--Heckled, badgered and stared at, Sons of Freedom Doukhobors called it quits today and left a chill, damp park for warmer quarters.

Hugh Gaitskell 'Very Grave' LONDON (Reuters) -- Labor Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell, 56, is still in "very grave" con. dition in a London hospital, it was announced today. A medical bulletin made pub- lic by a Labor party spokesman said: "Mr. Gaitskell slept for long periods. He has shown slight re- sponse to treatment. "But the renal and abdominal complications still give rise to anxiety. "His condition remains very grave."

Total federal expenditures would climb by $4,500,000,000 from $94,300,000,000 this year while the federal treasury would. get about $86,900,000,000 in re- ceipts, just a shade higher than this year's $85,500,000,000. The result would be an esti- mated $11,900,000,000 deficit, the second highest in post . war years and the fourth in succes- sion, following one of some $8,- 800,000,000 this year. This would mean that if Congress approves the budget, the national debt would have jumped by a total of some $28,000,000,000 in the first three years of the Kennedy reign, This rise alone would be at least double the entire na- tional debt in Canada. Leading the vast U.S. expen- ditures would be a proposed de- fence budget of some $55,400,- 000,000 -- up $1,400,000,000 over the current year and up $10,- 000,00,00 since Kennedy took office.
