Longo said "in my opinion, even in the light of the latest events, the person and acts of Comrade Khrushchev, as leader of the Soviet government and Communist party, remain es- sential elements of a very im- portant historical moment." "From him came the bitter denunciation of Stalinism, the liquidation of the personality cult, and the re-establishment of socialist legality.

All Quiet On NICOSIA -- critical Kyrenia road has m open a week today without incident and United Nations officials are ex- pressing cautious optimism that normal life soon will return to troubled Cyprus. Traffic was heavy Sunday as Greek - Cypriots from Nicosia drove 16 miles through Turkisii- Cypriot territory to Kyrenia and spent a lazy day by the Mediterranean under brilliant sunshine. Curious Turks clogged road- side cafes in the tiny towns of Geunele and Orta Keuy and ogled a passing convoy heavily guarded by UN troops, mainly Canadians, Swarthy shepherds in colorful 'muffing garb curbed flocks of goats and sheep and leaned on staffs as the convoy passed. Some waved cheerfully at ve- hicles. i Convoys move out of Nicosia to Kyrenia and-back twice daily now. Members of the 1st Battal- ion, Canadian Guards, Picton, Ont., rigorously search vehicles and passengers for weapons and cameras. Turkish-Cypriots ob- ject to being photographed. TRAVEL IN COLUMN Then the column of cars, trucks and motorcycles snakes across the parched central plain into the lush Kyrenia hills. Along the route, other UN troops assist Canadians guard- ing the road. The column is es- corted by the UN Delta Force of Danes, Finns and Canadians from Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), Calgary. Escorting troops travel Ferret armored scout cars, equipped with machine - guns. There are also recoilless anti- tank rifles mounted on jeeps. The road had been controlled since last Christmas by Turkish Cypriots and Turkish national soldiers. UN negotiations man- aged to persuade the Turks to put the road, which lies entirely in Canada's area of responsibil- ity on the island, into UN hands so that normal commerce could resume. Brig.

"And from those decisions were drawn the fundamental di- rections of Communist policy over the last 10 years: non-in- evitability of war, peaceful co- existence, national roads to so- cialism, autonomy of elabora- tion and of action for individual Communist parties," Longo's remarks followed an article in the Russian party newspaper Pravda Sunda y which praised Soviet achieve- ments during the last three years and said Russia was working for better relations Gafsa on a speech-making tour of the Tunisian south, found the roads flooded by the, Rivers Baich after three days of tor- rential rains. The president is suffering from nasal infection and is not expected to leave Gafsa_ until later this week. All Tunisian railway lines were cut and most highways linking the capital with outly- ing towns were flooded. The hardest hit was the Holy Moslem city of Kairouan, south- west of Tunis, where at least 12 persons died and four were with capitalist nations, reported missing. + ge een pelt ign ape l bar pect 9 NO tii fora e E te Cyprus mander of the Nicosia zone, said Sunday night he was "'ex-. tremely gratified there were no incidents or events expressing bad feeling" during the first week the road has been open, REPORTS CO-OPERATION 'This is due to co-operation on both sides who appear ac- tively interested in making this thing work.

Col. Mulherin, a native of Grand Falls, N.B., said both Turkish- and Greek - Cypriots are happy with.the arrange- ment. However, it still is impossible for people to commute regu- larly. The UN feels it still is unsafe for Greeks to travel the toad at night. But, as no major incidents have occurred on the island since August, there is much hope here that a settlement may be possible to end the squabbling between the island's 500,000 Greek - Cypriots and about 100,000 Turkish-Cypriots.

Pierre Lapo Quebec minis- ter of municly affairs, told the closing session of the con- ference that only backward Ca- nadians are frightened by his province's silent revolution.

NEED FOR STUDY Mr. Ryan, speaking on the French Canadian view of Eng- lish Canadians, said there was a need on the part of both ele- ments for more study with open minds. If they tried to solve their problems in narrow' nationalis- tic terms, then Canada was doomed, not as a nation but as a democratic society, he said.
