(AP Wirephoto) PM Meets Shattered Cabinet: Still Pondering Big Question OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker meets his election - shattered cabinet to- y. He apparently is still ponder- ing whether to meet Parliament as prime minister or as leader of the official opposition. His Progressive Conservative cabinet, weakened by the elec- tion defeat of six ministers, was gathering for its first post-elec- tion session while awaiting the results of the service vote. Liberals Defence OTTAWA (CP)--The Liberals are. a hardrock de- steps out of line on policy. Some Liberals say recent his- tory shows a defence minister must lay down the law in the department in his first 10 days or be "captured" by the mil- itary. The former Liberal adminis- tration was embarrassed by public statements by Lt.-Gen. Guy Simonds, then chief of the genera] staff, advocating na- tional selective service, but never fired him. The Liberals say they won't tolerate again such public dis- agreements by the military with government policy. Some military officers say the defence department hasn't had a shaking up since the post-war' defence buildup started in 1950 and that it needs one. They add that the department sometimes gets bogged down in almost endless committee meet- ings and that often new, bright ideas are rejected by officers interested mainly in the status quo. NEEDS BACKING Some Liberals say a new de- fence minister should have the unqualified backing of the It is this vote, expected to be! announced this weekend, that may show whether the Liberals will extend their 128-seat vic- tory into a working' majority of 133 in the 265-seat Commons. Mr. Diefenbaker has said he is awaiting the service-vote out- come before deciding on his fu- ture course--a decision between resigning to allow Liberal Leader Pearson to form a gov- ernment or continuing in office Seeking Minister forms in the ent, fn- cluding the power to fire senior, Leader Pearson in the defence de- partment: Integration of the armed forces under '"'single con- trol." He has urged the "complete co-ordination" of the armed forces into a "truly national de- fence service." Many former defence plans, policies, tactics anl ideas will have to be Scrapped, he has said. The man Mr. Pearson may Pick for the job, if he forms a government, is Charles Mills (Bud) Drury, 50, MP for Mont- real St. Antoine-Westmount. Mr. Drury commanded a bri- gade in the 4th Canadian Ar- mored Division in northwest Eu- rope in the Second World War. He was deputy defence min- ister from 1949 to 1955, when he returned to Montreal to be- come president of a provincial transport company. He _ prac- tised law from 1936 to 1939, was chief of the United Nations re- lief and works agency mission to Poland in 1945-46 and was in the external affairs depart- ment in 1947-48.

While the decision rests with the prime minister, the position of the two other smaller parties in the 26th Parliament has a crucial bearing. Without their support he would lose in a con- fidence vote against the Lib- erals, On the basis of the civilian vote Monday, the Conservatives won 96 seats, the Social Credit party 24 and the New Demo- crats 17--leaving the Liberals with the largest group in the Commons. 'HE SHOULD RESIGN' In the light of this result, the New Democratic and Social Credit leadets have said, in ef- fect, Mr, Diefenbaker should re- sign. { New Pemsseretic looter T&. "My own feelin; . Diefenbaker se | on gait ee "I think that having lost seats in two successive general elec- tions, the logical thing would be to resign." Robert Thompson, leader of the Social Credit party, said he elieves Mr. Diefenbaker does not have the "moral" right to continue in office, even though he may have the constitutional right. "He has lost the confidence of his party and of the Canadian people," said Mr. Thompson, who flew to Ottawa Wednesday for a private meeting with his deputy leader, Real Caouette. Later, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Douglas expressed hope for sta- bility of government despite the uncertain results of the election. "I think we're going to work this out," said Mr. Douglas. Mr, Thompson called for a moratorium on elections and advocated a "working arrange- ment" in Parliament. They appeared on a CBC net- work television. program, News- magazine, along with Walter Gordon, a Liberal re-elected in Toronto Davenport. who is con- sidered a likely choice for the finance portfolio in any new Liberal government. All three said the rules of Parliament must be changed to speed up proceedings and make them more efficient.

Wesiern Allies Clear Way For Atomic NATO PARIS (AP)--The Western al- lies have cleared the way for creation next mcnth of a unified nuclear command with multina- tional air and U.S. sea strike forces.

Rusk outlined the plan to the NATO permanent council at a meeting here Wednesday. The force initially will consist} of the United States Polaris sub- marines now operating in the Mediterranean and planes of the U.S., Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, Canada, Bel- gium and The Netherlands. The CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 planes will carry U.S. nuclear weapons, _ The unified command for the force will be under U.S. Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, NATO'S su- preme commander in Europe. SQUADRONS TO JOIN French participation means only that two French air squad- rons based in Germany will join the unified command, President de Gaulle has made no commit- mem to put his own nuclear bombers and bombs, now being developed, into the NATO pool as the British have done with their B-bomber force. De Gaulle also is standing firm on his refusal to buy U.S. Polaris missiles, his decision to bar U.S. nuclear stockpiles from French soil and his determina- tion to create an independent French nuclear force. But the French leader's agree- ment to limited participation in the unified nuclear force was welcomed by U.S. and British authorities as a sign of a more co-operative attitude toward the al S. Officials of other NATO na- tions predicted that when France's nuclear strike force is operational, de Gaulle will HOSPITAL 723-2211 agree to co-ordinate it with th allied force, ; The NATO nuclear strike forces will go into action only on orders from Lemnitzer, who will get his instructions from the president of the United States. U.S. law requires the president to retain sole. control over the use of the nuclear weapons the U.S. will supply the force. The allies are still discussing expansion of NATO's fleet to in- clude ships armed with U.S. Po- laris missiles but manned by crews of other nations. The U.S. has agreed to sell Britain Polaris missiles for Brit- ish nuclear submarines which is urging the creation of a sur- face fleet of 25 freighter-type ships armd with the Polaris and manned by crews of mixed nationalities. At Ottawa, informants said the agreement, which would have to be ratified by NATO ministers, means only that as- signment of targets' for U.S. Po- laris submarines in the Medi- terranean, British' 'V-bombers and tactical nuclear forces. in Europe, including those of Can- ada, would be done by NATO's supreme allied co; -in \Europe. Pope's Encyclical Heavil LONDON (CP)--Virtually ail, 'political factions in western Eu- Tope unite in rare agreement to- day in praise of Pope John's new encyclical on peace. Left - wing arid Communist hewspapers were as quick to jump into print with favorable responses as were conservative and Roman Catholic newspa- pers and politicians. L'unita in Italy and L'Human- ite in Paris--the organs of west- ern Europe's two biggest Com- munist parties -- praise the Pope's views on peace and so- cial change. "It is an immense satisfac- tion," says L'Humanite, 'to see the highest Catholic authority take notice of the forward movement of the largest masses and, by the same token, favor action toward peace." L'Unita's front-page editorial points up parts of the message dealing with "a positive dia- logue" between East and West. Austria's Communist Volkss- timme headlines the 'Papal message of peace" and Drafeau Rouge in Belgium runs a full report stressing the Pope's re- marks on nuclear weapons and tests. "This encyclical," says the Belgian Communist paper, "is a testimony to the efforts under- taken to widen or adapt Ro- man Catholic doctrine to the social demands of our time." In Yugoslavia Politika, the Communist country's largest daily, headlines its report from Rome: "Pope John XXIII de- mands. strengthening of UN." Soviet newspapers make no mention of the encyclical, "'pa- cem in terris" (peace on earth), possibly indicating the Kremlin is studying it. The Soviet news agency Tase carried a brief di- gest in its overseas service em- phasizing the call for a halt in the arms race and the Pope's warning against accidental nu- clear war. : Praised 2 TE - )struck by the encyclical's wide appeal "to all men of good will," the first time in history such @ papal letter was ad- dressed to non-Catholics as well Steel Pricing n US.

The 1ith- increases were made necessary Hurried, worried, late - hour|by steady increases in the cost of materials, services and labor. The announcement came ex- actly a year after U.S. Steel, the No, 1 U.S. producer, raised prices. The increases were re- scinded three days later after Kennedy mounted a strong of- fensive against the steelmak- ers. None of the other U.S. firms had any comment to make im- mdiately on Wheeling's price increase Wednesday, Off - the - record comments from a few other Democratic Congress members suggested they would not oppose some rea- sonable wage increase for the Steelworkers, who accetped only modest "fringe" improvements, last year instead of higher pay rates. Senator Estes Kefauver. (Dem. Tenn.) told reporters in Philadelphia the price increase would "harm the whole econ- omy" if it becomes general. Steel profits have been substan- tial, 1€ not satisfotory, he said, adding: "We've losts a large part of our foreign market in steel and a price increase would make it harder to compete." « Several Republican senators said the. government should ba hands off the situati ré- was no sign that Ken- nedy planned any comment be- fore his scheduled departure for an Easter vacation at Palm Beach, Fila. as Catholics. "Though the Pope speaks di- rectly to those of his own obe- dience," said London's Conserv- ative Daily Telegraph, "'his ar- gument is framed to persuade men of all religions or of none." The authoritative Times. says part of the letter contains a dis- tinction by the Pope between the theory and practice of Com- munism. It said this and several other Passages are "'likely to cause discomfort in countries where the church is deeply enmeshed in politics." The Rome correspondent of ithe right-wing Daily Express says the letter was a clear con- demnation of the "cold -war warrior attitude." The left-wing Daily Herald calls it "probably the most po- litically charged document ever issued from the Vatican." Arab Republic Rail Workers Plan To Stage 3-Day Strike LONDON _Reuters)--Leaders of Britain's 317,000-mmber rail- road workers union decided to- day to stage an official three- day countrywide strike within the next four weeks as a pro- test against a government plan to streamline the rail system.

Sabry did not say who will head the unified state, but there seemed little doubt that Egypt's Non-Communist opinion was President Nasser will hold the reins. The three originating states will be known as the Egyptian Region, Syrian Region and Iraqi Region. Sabry's announcement indi- cated the new U.A.R. will have a strong central government, controlling foreign affairs, de- te fence, economic planning, cur- rency, foreign trade, customs and taxes. But a man present at the negotiations said purely local affairs will be kept in lo- cal hands rather than under the tight.

Sabry said the new state will ajhave central control of informa- tion and propaganda agencies "\and of education to insure "uni- fied thought for the nationalist "unionist trend."
