One crew member died in the fire, which caused damage esti- mated at $500,000. Two firemen were injured. The weight of water poured into the yessel and at one time threatened to capsize it at its berth but firemen managed to reach the main engine room to get its pumps operating. The vessel's: chief steward, Mohammed Fazewi, 42, of Alex- andria, died in the flames, ap- parently after he was overcome by smoke while attempting to escape. i The cargo of explosives stored forward caused firemen several apprehensive moments, but they managed to keep the fire clear of the storage compartment. Fire Chief Swanborough said cause of the fire was not known "There were two females on board and, as I understand it, some sort of party,' He said. The two women, Kitty Babis- ter and Sally Cyrette, both of Toronto, had gone on board ear- lier in the night with several crew members, Police found Kitty in hyster- ics when they arrived at the scene. "My girl friend's in there," she screamed as she ran to- wards them. They checked and found Sally had Jeft minutes be- fore the alarm was sounded. Most of the crew members were asleep when the fire was reported around 4:45 a.m. They escaped in pyjamas by sliding down ropes and scrambling through port holes. The sailors were accommo- dated in a Salvation Army hall where they wait until immigra- tion 'officials decide what to do with them. They were given food at Canadian Red Cross kitchens set up at the dockside. PM Will Offer Larger Force friends.

Viet Nam WASHINGTON: (AP) -- South Viet Nam's former ambassador to the United States said Wed- nesday no amount of foreign aid can now carry President Ngo Dinh Diem's regime to victory. He called for a new government run by a coalition of men of goodwill! Tran Van Chuong, who re- signed Aug. 22 in protest over the South Vietnamese govern- ment crackdown on Buddhist monks and nuns, said the Diem government has irreparably lost the support of its people. "But no amount of pressure can force it to step down, . ." he said in an interview, and a halt in U.S. aid would lose the country to the Communists. But "this dilemma is not so insoluble as it may seem." Chuong recalled that Diem himself had overcome formida- ble opposition when he came to power in 1954 because he then had the support of the South Vietnamese people. INTERPRETING THE NEWS . Verwoer By JIM PEACOCK anadian Press Staff Writer Opposition to Premier Hen- rik Verwoerd's racial-separa- tion practices in South Africa make it almost a foregone con- clusion that his suggestion to have his country take over ad- ministration of three neighbor- ing British protectorates will be rejected out of hand. Verwoerd suggested that Brit- ain hold a plebiscite in Bech- uanaland, Swaziland and Basu- toland to allow the 1,200,000 inhabitants to decide whether they wanted -- in Verwoerd's words--to "prosper" as part of South Africa or face 'economic decay" under the British. His proposal would turn the three into so-called 'Bantu- stans," or self-governing all- Negro states along the lines he proposed for sections of South Africa under his apartheid-- racial separation--policies. One British source said the proposal is "quite out of court," explaining that the British stand is unaltered from 1954 when Sir Winston Churchill, then prime minister, said the issue of the sovereignty of the three terri- tories was a matter for the territories to decide and the British Parliament to approve. APARTHEID OPPOSED The same reaction is likely to be.common in most parts of the Western world and especially among the newly-independent nations of Africa--but the rea- countries recently offered the UN a Nordic battalion. | Sources said Mr. Pearson) probably will want to sound out other countries on their views before making .a public commit- ment by Canada beyond that al- ready in existence. Canada for some years has son here lies in opposition to Verwoerd's racial policies. Verwoerd's statement that "Britain may be the guide to their political freedom but it is powerless in respect of their eventual economic freedom" contains certain truths.

Britain's House of Commons has been suspicious of any hints of the protectorates being put under this apartheid policy. and Labor MP Fenner Brockwa indicated promptly that the goy- ernment would face strong .op- position at home to any move to accept Verwoerd's proposal now, Brockway said the Verwoerd proposal applies "'as fully as ever the principle of racial seg- regation and apartheid" and it should not be contemplated. FURTHER SUSPICION Further suspicion of _ Ver- woerd's motives might be raised by the fact that his proposal comes when South Africa is at odds with the protectorates be- cause the latter have become havens for political refugees from South Africa's security legislation and racial policies. Sir Patrick Dean, Britain's permanent United Nations dele- gate, stressed a year ago that identification, ---------------- Mosquito Bite Itch Possible Kind Of Allergy OTTAWA (CP)--The itch from a mosquito bite may well be akin to an allergy reaction rather than--as popularly - held for 200 years--a straight injec- tion of poison, research at Queen's University indicates, But this doesn't change the fact that the mosquito bite in two stages can cause discomfort for several days. The Queen's work, which has begun the preliminary work of chemically analysing mosquito saliva, was described Tuesday to the Canadian Entomology Centenary Conference by a stu- dent, J. R, Allen, He said it began with two questions: What causes a mos- quito bite to itch and what can be done about it? iz Several tho dd mosquitoes were encouraged to deposit their Saliva in distilled water by pen- etrating a membrane. The sub- sequent product was reduced and stored in deep-freeze and later raised the usual mosquito welts on human subjects, even when boiled 20 minutes. FIRST IT ITCHES : The effects covered the typi- hours featuring a hard, red bump which could cause consid- several days. Rabbits and guinea pigs also were tested. Mr, Allen said it has been long suggested that the mosquito in- jects a toxic substance into its victim, causing the itch. But re- cently it has been suggested that the reaction is akin to that in allergies. Allergy victims include per- sons sensitive to elements rang- ing from plant pollens to certain animal hair, dust and foods, The sensitivity springs from the formation within the body-- after initial contact with the substances--of antibodies which react with the substances to cre- ate itching noses, rashes and other allergy symptoms. Injec- tions can mitigate or remove the allergy in many cases. Mosquito bites may be added to that list if the Queen's re- search program bears out pres- ent indications. The conference also was told that insects are capable of com- pletely different kinds of evolu- tion than other animals, includ- ing man, Insects show tolerance for re- production of offspring despite any substantial shifts in the _|makeup of the genes--the cells governing heredity, said Hans Stich of Queen's University. But man and other animals frequently abort before produc- ing such offspring, he declared. Other points at the second day. of. the weeklong meeting mark- ing 100 years of Canadian study of insect life: 1, Canadian firms have shown little or no commercial interest in insect poisons based on bac- teria rather than the chemical compounds which have aroused international concern about over usage. _2. There are about 10,000,000 living organisms and use. of electronic computers seems in- evitable to: handle their catalog- uing and the storage of the com- plex characters which differen- tiate them, T. A. Angus of the federal for- estry research station at Sault Ste. Marie reviewed the experi. ence and prospects of attacking harmful insects through viruses, fungi and bacteria. The answer seemed to be the electronic computer but the dif- ficulty remained of devising a device for feeding the correct information into such a machine to obtain the correct i the protectorates were politi- cally independent of South Af- rica and added: "This remains British policy." Foreign Office spokesmen in London, refusing to comment directly-on Verwoerd's proposal, significantly have pointed to Dean's statement. At this period in history, with great emphasis on the equality ofthe races, few observers be- lieve Britain would 'change this policy and risk condemnation for - permitting Verwoerd to spread his apartheid to new areas, OSHAWA'S BIGGEST REAL ESTATE MOVE -.- SOON! cal initial reaction, lasting about! § an hour, of some itching and a| & bump.

Daniel P. Loomis, president of the Association of American Railroads, said the average toll of traffic moved in the first four years of the: seaway was only 49 cents a ton. He said the tolls should have averaged $1.03 a ton to meet the waterway's finan- cial requirements, He said traffic would have to double almost the 1962 level to reach the break-even point with present tolls. In a statement filed with the U.S. administrator of the sea- way, who now is reviewing the toll. structure as required by law, Loomis said the waterway| is approaching "its practical ca- pacity" of toll-paying traffic.
