MUST PUSH AHEAD Diefenbaker in his speech stressed his faith im the "con- tinuing expansion" of the Com- monwealth. He said there is much to be done in strengthen- ing the Commonwealth intern- ally and in bringing its influ- ence increasingly to bear on ex- ternal problems.

The thousands of homeless moved forlonly into two en- campmenis being rushed up outside the town. They settled down, 60 and 70 to a tent, to await provision of new homes. "They will have a long time to wait," said one local 'official. "It could take months or years to rebuild El Marj.

The federal system later de- veloped in Canada and patterned after the British Parliament was an example for other Com- monwealth governments around the world. "This city has been the cen- tre of development in the past and may well provide the cen tral initiative for a greater ex- change of trade and finance which would give to the Com- monwealth the role of world leadérship at one time held by the empire." The prime minister, accom- panied by his wife, drove from the law courts in the Strand in an open carriage loaned by the the next 10 years. In an address prepared for a symposium sponsored by the American Bankers Association, Kennedy said his own tax bill may mot be perfect. He ack- nowledged it 'is now under at- tack from both the left and the right."

"Our forces in Europe, both army and air forces, havé been assigned to NATO and are to be used for whatever role is considered appropriate by the NATO . command," Churchill told 'a. reporter today.

Churchill, accompanied on his 15-hour inspection trip by the navy, army and air force rep- resentatives at the Canadian joint staff here, said he is "highly satisfied with the effi. ciency of the units." "The training of the (Honest John) missile battery is com- plete in every aspect, including the tactical handling methods of loading and firing. The battery is equipped with practice mis: siles of the same size, shape and weight as the operating war missiles. All storage facil- ities for missiles for war pur- poses have been provided and the battery is available for such operational use as is deter- mined by the NATO command." Churchill said the responsibil- ity for providing "missiles for warfare" rests with NATO. At Swiebruecken, No. 3 fighter wing of the RCAF has one squadron of Starfighter aircraft in advanced training and a sec. ond squadron in process of for- mation, he said, "Practice bombs of the same shape, size and weight as the] j ones that will be required for war purposes are available for training, Under authority of the NATO high command, nuclear bomb. storage facilities are al-| / ready under construction _ on the airfield.
