Authorities admitted it was another major security breakdown The country's hush-hush plans for keeping going in event of a nuclear attack were handed out as a pamphlet Friday to 10,000 persons marching the 50 miles from Aldermaston, near Oxford, to London. The annual march from a nuclear research centre to the capital is intended to dramatize demands that Britain strip itself of nuclear arms. A series of sensational espion- age cases have led to charges of sloppy security against Prime Minister Macmillan's Conserva. tive government. Press and Parliament were e to create an uproar over the latest leaks. The pamphlets were handed out by members of the militant Committee of 100 which played a prominent role in the anti- American demonstrations at the time of the Cuba crisis last Oc- tober. It had no part in organ- izing the march. The Committee for Nuclear Disarmament, which did spon- claimed any knowledge of the pamphlets. Antes: Wek Wik pasties, t has nothing to do with the CND." Besides being distributed to marchers, 4,000 copies of the pamphlet were mailed to news- papers, public figures and even Britain's intelligence chief. Government officials conceded the information in it was largely accurate and warned that the pamphlet's authors will be pros- ecuted if caught. Information given in the pam- phiet included the location of underground headquarters for civil services in the event of a nuclear attack, along with the names of co-ordinators of mili- tary police, fire, food, health and trasport services. The six-page document also contained photographs of one of the regional civil defence head- quarters. A defence ministry spokesman said it was 'a serious breach of the Official Secrets Act". The pamphlet told its read- ers: "You are not thought fit to ' sor the march, quickly dis- judge what your rulers do. But 'Atom Survival Leak Stirs Probe By Yar everywhere. Beca' you may believe you have the right to know what is being done about your future, in your name, at your expense, but without your consent. "We are spies for peace. We have decided to publish an of- ficial secret. . . . There are thousands more secrets in cap- tivity. This is not the only one we shall release." The Times reports officials believe the term "spies for peace" was a cover to conceal the fact that the document's sponsors were 'supporters, probably Communist, of nuclear disarmament." The Times speculates that the pamphiet "is aimed in some confused way at the morale of the civilian population of this country."' Meanwhile, press reports said a group of British anti-nuclear demonstrators who staged a sit- down at Dusseldorf airport in West Germany took copies of the pamphlet there, and man- aged to pass a few copies to German demonstrators. SERVICE VOTE NE LIBERALS 2 SEA WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States is expected to tell Russia shortly that the pro- posed NATO multilateral nu- clear force, on which the allies now are negotiating, is de- signed purely for the defence F\of Western Europe and offers no offensive threat to the So- viet Union. State Secretary Dean Rusk notified Soviet Ambassador An- atoly Dobrynin Friday that a reply to this week's Moscow protest against the nuclear force will be dispatched in a few days after consultation with other allied governments, Rus- sia charged the U.S. with moves to "unleash a race in nuclear- rocket armaments transcending all national and geographic voundaries."' Rusk also told Dobrynin in their 80-minute meeting at the state department that the U.S. is seriously concerned over the recent fighting in Laos and the failure of the Communist side there to carry out fully the East-West agreement to neu- tralize Laos. ; WANTS WITHDRAWAL The U.S. wants Russia to use its authority specifically to get greater freedom of movement for an international control commission in Communist-held territory in the little Southeast U.S. Claims NATO 'Defensive' Unit sion that they will meet again "in the near future." The discussion on Berlin, : of- ficials said, did not open up any new ground or mark any pro- gress toward a formula for agreement. A state department press of- ficer said the atmosphere of the meeting was friendly and re- laxed. Dobrynin told reporters as he left the conference "we continued to discuss the same problem (Berlin) that we dis- cussed last time and we briefly discussed the Laos situation."

The latest blast -- delivered Thursday -- still clogged many roads with snow early today. However, civil defence au- aircraft had been damaged. Later, an airport official said a minor oil leak found after- ward would not have prevented - the departure, but would be re- paired. The disarmers remained in the plane after it returned to the tarmac guarded by a con- tingent of police. They waved to a group of West German disarmers who welcomed them Friday night and remained at the airport hoping 'o join the Britons. Huge Anti-Gaullist Secret Army Found PARIS (Reuters) -- Police sources today announced the discovery of a powerful anti- Gaullist Secret Army Organiza- tion network in Paris and the arrest of several of its mem- bers The sources said one of these arrested was former [4.-Cmdr. Jacques Roy, sentenced in ab- sentia to 15 years in prison for his part in another such net- work. Police had been looking for him for more than two years. The sources said that about 10 persons had been arrested and several others questioned. Many documents were found during their search. THOMPSON ANNOYED OVER 'DEAL' OTTAW A(CP) -- Majority support in the next Parliament was assured the Liberal party when six Quebec members of the Social Credit party an- mounced Friday that they in- tend to support the Liberals. Liberal Leader Pearson said he was "'pleased that these six members of Parliament in lend- ing their support to the cause of strong, stable majority gov- ernment have put their province and their country first." The six are Gerard Perron, member for Beauce; Pierre-An- der Boutin, Dochester; Ray- mond Langlois, Megantic; Gil- bert Rondeau, Shefford; Lucien Plourde, Quebec West; and Rob- ert Beaule, Quebec East. They sent a signed and not- arized statement to Governor- General Vanier saying their de- cision was made "not because we are Liberals, but because we believe that the best inter- ests of the Canadian people lie in maintaining a stable govern- ment." On the eve of the service vote, the Liberals had 128 seats, five CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS short of a majority in the 265- seat House.

In Three Hills, Alta., Social Credit Leader Robert Thompson said "I will not tolerate any deals of any kind." He said he has asked Dr. Guy Marcoux, the party whip, to make an inves- tigation. ' "Should any arrangements with the Liberal party be en- tered into by any Social Credit member of Parliament such will be repudiated." He also said: 'Canada ur- gently needs responsible and stable government. Another im- mediate election is out of the question. However, the working out of such a policy will be clear-cut and above board at all times." In Quebec City, Dr. Marcoux said he "repudiates" the action of the six. "It was not taken by the party after a caucus, and I don't see how any parliamen- tary party can act without a caucus." DEFENDS MOVE However, Deputy Social Cre- dit Leader Real Caouette said the six were not "defectors." He termed it "political stategy to give the Liberals a chance to practise what 'they have preached for the last six years." He said at least two of the six, Mr. Perron and Mr. Bou- tin, have been "confirmed So- id e h * for about 25 > years and will continue to be. "Personally, I will support a Liberal government which moves toward Canadian econo- mic development." The only immediate comment from within the Conservative party came from Transport Minister Leon Balcer who pre- dicted the move '"'heralds the definite end of Social Credit in Quebec." These men were elected, he said, for attacking the Liberal party. Their pres- ent action "'czn only cause dis- gust among the people." The stafement by the six said a government led by Mr. Pear- son would get support froni them "as long as. it will act with firmness and wisdom to bring to the Canadian people the dynamic leadership it so much needs to set the country back towards its destiny." RESERVE NUCLEAR VOTE So far as nuclear arms are concerned, "we reserve our- selves the right to vote accord- |ng to our conscience." About biculturalism, the state- ment said: "We give this assurance of support because we hope that Mr. Pearson is sincere in his determination to do everything in. his power to: develop a Can- ada in which French - Cana- dians and English - Canadians will be equal Canadian partners in Confederation. Maritimes Digs Out From Snow thorities in hard-hit southeast- ern New Brunswick said most of the hundreds of motorists marooned. on highways near Moncton had been freed by snowplow crews. An RCAF helicopter left Chat- ham, N.B., Friday night to take Mrs. Arthur Maillett from her home near Buctouche to Monc- ton. The elderly woman was reported suffering from a se- vere internal disorder. The road from Moncton to _ Buctouche was still blocked and two snow- plows had broken down trying b to get through.

It was also pointed out that the statement was made volun- tarily and freely and "we ex- pect mo favors other than the satisfaction of having done our duty." The statement came out clearly against Prime Minister Diefenbaker's government re- maining in office. ""A govern- ment, in our view, has no dem- ocratic right to stay in power if amother government can be formed by a party supported by a larger part of the electorate." Mr. Perron said later in an in- terview he had approached other Quebec members of the party before the statement was issued. "A few of the others agree in principle with us, but they. prefer not to engage them- selves publicly," he said. Neither Mr. Thompson nor Mr. Caouette had been con- sulted. , He was asked whether the move could lead to expulsion of the six members from the party. It was too soon to fore- cast, he said, "but. evidently, "We expect that Mr. Pearson £ lt lin dn td that possibility . ers fought drifts to reach stranded motorists. WAS SECOND BLOW The storm, in its second pass at the Maritimes in a week, dropped up to 20 inches of snow Thursday on the New Bruns- wick counties of Kent, Albert and Westmorland amd on Nova Scotia's Cumberland County. Finance Minister L. G. Des- brisay, who had declared an emergency in the three New Brunswick counties in the ab- sence of Premier Robichaud, stranded in his car 17 miles from Moncton, said the situa- tion was improving rapidly and was no longer termed an emer- gency. The storm first showed its strength Monday when it dis- rupted communications in much of mainland Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, caused three deaths and brought down power lines.

"Maybe he was trying to get to Cuba and go after Castro on his own,". Mrs, Foster said. "Roger tried to start an anti- Communist club at Griffin High School."

UIC Fund Gets $25 Million Shot In Arm OTTAWA (CP) -- The unem- ployment insurance fund has réceived a $25,000,000. shot in the arm to meet claims this month and forestall bankruptcy. The money was advanced to 'the fund in the latest Governor- General's warrant, dated April 1 but published today in the of- ficial Canada Gazette. The loan is a. maximum amount from which the Unem- ployment Insurance Commis- sion will be able to draw funds 'to: meet its benefit payments during April. Another loan is expected to be made to keep the fund operating in May. The insurance fund has been plunging steadily from its 1956 peak of $926,000,000 toward bankruptcy, under the pressure of. extended benefits and heavy unemployment. At the start of the year, it held. about. $99,000,000. By. the end of February, it had dropped to $39,400,000. The March 31 fig- ure will be announced latter this month. . Informants said the fund still contained "several" millions of dollars at the end of March.
