Bidault Seeks Brazil Asylum RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) --Former French _ premier Georges Bidault, the No. 1 op- ponent of President de Gaulle, has asked for political asylum in Brazil and France has said it has no objection to this, the Jornal do Brasil said today. Bidault, who arrived in Lis- bon from Munich earlier this week, has been "invited" to leave Portugal. West Germany said Thursday Bidault would not be allowed to return there because it had been found that he would carry out political work of a nature "offensive to the hospitality of the host country."

Cited By McNamara WASHINGTON (CP) --De. fence Secretary McNamara says one of the uses of Bomarc anti-aircraft weapons is to draw enemy ballistic missile fire in the event of war, but he agrees that the Bomarc has turned out to be a very expensive target for this purpose, He said he would remove the Bomarcs altogether but for the fact that the annual mainten- ance costs are no more than $20,000,000 and "I think we are getting our money's worth." "If there were any real amount of money to be saved, I would propose taking them out," he told the congressional appropriations committee in closed-door hearings. A cen. sored transcript of his Feb. 13 testimony was made public to- day. Further testimony is to be made public at a later date. The U.S. has eight Bomarc bases and Canada has two--at North Bay, Ont., and La Ma- caza, Que. These are tied into the electronic semi-automatic ground environment (SAGE) system made up of 22 centres in the U.S. and one in Canada, designed to detect and locate approaching enemy bombers and direct Bomarcs and inter- jceptors in response to attack.| McNamara said some of the| U.S. SAGE centres are being) phased out. The U.S. Air Force |said later he was referring to two centres in North Dakota to |be closed before June 30, 1964. IS CRITICIZED McNamara faced criticism of the Bomarc from Congressmen William Minshall, Ohio Repub. jlican, and Daniel Flood, Pen- nsylvania Democrat. Minshall said that since the Bomarc system, including SAGE, cost between $3,000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000, why not close op- erations completely, since the Bomarcs are "so useless," McNamara replied he is con- sidering further dispersal of the Bomare bases as one possible way of overcoming deficiencies, but dispersal would cost money. "We have a series of alter- natives under way that we hope will allow us to increase their effectiveness. In any case, I would hesitate to cancel their deployment if we saved no more than 120,000,000 a year." When Minshall countered that deploying Bomarcs is like de- pending on an anchor without a rope, McNamara suggested Bomarcs could still be useful to force the Russians to in.

Flood. suggested that if the Bomares are pulled out, 'we have stuck the Canadians for a whole mess of them and we have another problem on our border." Flood said in an interview later he was referring to the criticism in Canada to the whole question' of Bomarc de- ployment and to the Canada- U.S. nuclear controversy that preceded dissolution of Parlia- ment.

REPLACED PAC Pogo developed after an or- ganization called the Pan-Afri- can Congress, or PAC, was banned. Both government spokesmen and Potlako Leballo, acting leader of PAC, assert that Poqo and PAC are one for all practical purposes. Leballo claims the PAC mili- tant wing numbers 150,006, This is only a small part of South Africa's 10,000,000 Negroes--but adequate if properly !ed and or- ganized to disrupt the country's life and challenge white su- premacy. | Pogo resulted from the Sharpeville shootings three years ago.

ROUTE OF MOTOR SHIP By THE CANADIAN PRESS Allusions to the federal elec- tion campaign wafted in and around Quebec's legislative as- sembly Thursday with the Un- ion Nationale opposition doing most. of the alluding. In the House there were jibing allusions to Premier Lesage's Stand in favor of the federal Liberals and outside there was nuclear weapons in Quebec. Opposition Leader Daniel Johnson asked Premier Lesage whether a stable federal gov- ernment could be assured by a "Union Nationale" of Liberals and Conservatives. Amid general laughter, Mr. Lesage said Mr. Johnson "is trying to find out what his U.K. Tories Lose Two Byelections LOND' N (CP)--The Conserv- ative government shuddered at its latest humiliations at the polls as Labor retained two par- liamentary seats with ease in byelections Thursday and a Tory candidate lost his deposit. Labor retained both seats with large majorities and at Swansea East, a Welsh seaport, the government placed fourth in a six-man race, losing out to |Labor, a Liberal and an Inde- pendent. The Conservative candidate, Miss Pamela Thomas, 33, for- feited the £150 which all candi- dates must deposit as a guaran- tee of good faith. The sum is lost by candidates who fail to collect one-eighth of the total votes polled. Three other candidates -- a Welsh Nationalist, an Independ- ent and a Communist--also for- feited their deposits. In Rotherham, Yorkshire, the Conservatives received another depressing blow when their share of the total votes polled dropped nine per cent from the 1959 general election figures, LABOR IS BETTER Meanwhile, Labor substam- tially increased its majority in a three-way fight with Conserv- atives and an _ Independent. There was no Liberal candidate. Labor's Brian O'Malley cap- tured the Rotherham seat with 22,441 votes in a three-way fight. Conservative Michael Barras was second with 9,209 votes and Independent Russell Eckley third with 742, In Swansea East, Labor's Neil McBride polled 18,909 for a winning margin of 14,014 over his nearest competitor, Liberal Richard Owens with 4,895.

The premier himself has made. no statement on nuclear arms, saying that he cannot as premier because it is a federal problem. In the House, at the close of the sitting, he mentioned the "strange coincidence" of the opposition motion being an- nounced and the visit of a Com- munist candidate demanding such a motion.

Cuba Support MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Soviet Premier Khrushchev has again assured Cuba "'we will not leave our Cuban friends in the lurch." Khrushchev, replying to ques- tions by Paolo Silveira, direc- tor of the Brazilian newspaper Ultima Hora, said: 'The Cuban people can always count on our help and support."' He said he had to give a "negative reply" when asked whether the Caribbean situation could be regarded as normal. Although the United States had undertaken not to attack Cuba, he said, it did not stop its "hostile policy" toward Cuba "or give up its plans to liqui- date the existing regime in Cuba." Alleging that "more aggres- Sive circles" in the U.S. were pushing the U.S. government to launch an' armed aggression against Cuba, Khrushchev de- clared: "We gave an assurance to the Cuban people that it can always count on our aid and support. We shall not leave our Cuban friends in the lurch." He: said the Soviet Union was following a policy aimed at good relations with the U.S. and other nations.
