From AP-Reuters BERLIN (CP) -- Four Soviet MiG-19 jets firing cannon flew over West Berlin today and other jets harassed Western air corridors as West Germany's parliament met in this old Ger- man capital, The flight of the four fighter planes at 1,000 feet altitude, a power display for the West Ger- man parliamentarians, came after members had assembled in Congress Hall. West Berlin police could not find that the cannon had hit anything. One formation of four MiGs screamed at near - supersonic speed over Congress Hall itself. Other Soviet MiG-19 jet fight-| ers and twin-jet MiG attack! bombers streaked at irregular intervals at low level over West Berlin. BUZZED PLANES At the same time, an inform- ant said Soviet jets were buzz- ing Western planes flying in the air corridors to and from West Berlin. "There was nothing this morning but this afternoon they started hot and heavy," the source said. One witness reported a Soviet jet buzzed a commercial plane either landing or taking off at Tempelhof Airport in the U.S. sector. A Western spokesman said he could not confirm the report of harassment in the air corridors, part of the Communist protest to the meeting of parliament in West Berlin. But he said Soviet fighters repeatedly buzzed the British military. airfield at Ga-! First Meeting Since 1958 Officially, the Communists said the autobahn had to be cleared for manoeuvres of the Soviet and East German armies. "We will not bow before ter- ror," West German Chancellor Erhard said as he arrived Tues- day night by plane for the Bun-| destag meeting, the first the Western allies have permitted in West Berlin since 1958, They allowed it this year because a new West German parliament is being elected in September. Erhard sent a top West Ger- man commerce official to warn East German Deputy Trade Minister Heinz Behrendt that continued interference with traf- fic. could cut the $500,000,000-a-| year trade agreement between East and West Germany. | The United States, Britain and France demanded Tuesday night that the commander-in- chief of Soviet forces in East Germany "put an immediate! end to harassment: of commu- nications with Berlin." In identical notes to Gen.| Fire tow, on the western outskirts of Berlin. "These buzzings are very dan- gerous because of our troop planes flying in there," he said. BERLIN (CP) -- Chancellor Ludwig Erhard met with _ his cabinet before the session and reaffirmed in strong terms the right of West Germany to be in the divided city. "Parliament and the govern- ment are exercising their legi-| timate rights and duties and in-| sist on these," said a statement| read to a press conference by} Erhard's spokesman, deputy! press chief Werner Krueger.

For the third day in a row, East Germany temporarily closed the 110-mile autobahn be- tween West Berlin and West Germany in an expression of the Communist displeasure with} meeting in the divided city | of West German parliament. | The closure today was the| shortest so far, lasting only| three hours.

CLAIM DIVISION The Communists object to the Bundestag meeting in West Ber- lin because they claim the city is an independent political en- tity and not part of West Ger- many. Soviet jets buzzed the U.S. and French airports in West Berlin three times since Mon- day and repeatedly broke the sound barrier in a noise cam- paign over the city, breaking at least 59 windows.

(CP)--South Vietns- mese and U.S. forces today claimed a great success in the first major battle in months in the swampy Mekong Delta south of Saigon. They reported 309 Viet Cong fighters killed or captured. Thirty-five U.S. navy planes prowled North Viet Nam's vital road artery to the south today and fired 20 tons of rockets and napalm (jellied gasoline). A U.S. Navy spokesman said seven trucks were destroyed and four more were damaged. No planes were lost, and no Communist planes were seen. The navy planes came from the carrier Coral Sea. In South Viet Nam, 20 U.S. Air Force ¥-100 .fighter-bomb- ers flew 20 sorties in Quang Ngai province, 350 miles north- east of Saigon, hitting a re- ported Viet Cong concentration for the second day. Sixteen government soldiers and six Americans died in the fierce three-day battle around with Vinh Loc, 130 miles south- west of Saigon, in fighting that broke off Tuesday night.

In Tokyo, Shunichi Matsu- moto, an adviser to the Japan- ese foreign ministry, said that perhaps only 30 per cent of the Viet Cong are Communists, Matsumoto, interviewed, by the newspaper Asahi on his re- turn from a two-week visit to South Viet Nam, Laos and Cam- bodia, described the Viet Cong as a nationalist movement "somewhat similar to the re- sistance of the French under- ground during the Second World War." "This means," he added, "'the Viet Cong will not give up re- sistance until' they have achieved their objectives." Matsumoto noted that U.S. air attacks against North Viet Nam |were concentrated at first on }military installations, then on }communications and transporta- tion facilities. "The United States probably will shift targets now to produc- tive facilities and, finally, to attacks on larger cities," he said. But he added that he did not believe China would intervene directly in Viet Nam. CUT RAIL LINE In Washington, defence de- partment sources said a bomb- ing raid by U.S. Navy bombers on the Dong 'Phuong bridge, about 65 miles .south of Hanoi, cut the single rail and highway line used to move men and equipment south for infiltration of South Viet Nam. The sources said it may take the North Vietnamese years to and concrete bridge. In the mean- time, the Communists will have to ferry soldiers and supplies across the Len River. Washington sources also out- lined a program of psycholog- ical warfare against the Viet Cong.

Mr. Balcer, who has op- posed party policies towards Quebec and tried to have John Diefenbaker removed as party leader, may an- nounce his decision when the Commons meets this afternoon, Gas-Bombs Bring Back Old Times DUBLIN (CP)--Two gasoli bombs. were hurled into the headquarters of Prime Minister Sean Lemass' party headquar- ters in Dublin today, bringing a touch of old times to the Re- public of Ireland's general elec- tion. ; The gasoline bombs set the door and hallway of the Fianna Fail building blazing but were quickly doused. No one was in- jured. The bombs and two eggs hurled at Lemass at a rally Tuesday night were the only. vi- olence of a campaign notable for serious discussions of Ire- land's economic future. More than 1,600,000 persons were eligible to vote for the 280 candidates for 143 seats in the Dail (lower house of parlia- ment) and a record vote was predicted. Political commentators found it hard to predict the result, un- likely until Friday because of the country's complex propor- tional representation system. Three main parties are in the running--Lemass' Fianna Fail, James Dillon's Fine Gael and Brendan Corish's Labor party, a comparative newcomer on the Irish scene. A fourth party, the Sinn Fein, political wing of the outlawed Irish Republican Army, is not contesting the election but it threw a last-minute surprise into the campaign Tuesday, Sinn Fein issued a statement saying it had a report that Le- mass was negotiating with Brit- ain for the establishment of a council of state for all Ireland --at present divided into the republic and Northern Ireland, part of Britain. There was no immediate con- firmation here of any such ne- gotiations. When Lemass dissolved the Dail three weeks ago, Fianna Fail had 70 seats, Fine Gael 48, Labor 18 and_ independents seven.

The issue is a New Demo- crat sub - amendment tacked on to a Conservative amend- ment to a government motion to adopt the throne speech out- lining the government's legisla- tive program, The NDP action, criticizing the government for not im- plementing a medical care pro- gram, is to be voted on just before today's 6 p.m. EST ad- journment. The Conservative amendment claiming loss of confidence in the government because of "'in- difference and neglect" of "ac- tion to eradicate wrongdoing in high and low places," will come to a vote Friday. Moving want of confidence in the government is the normal Commons gambit during de- bate on the throne speech. But with a minority government capable of being sent down to defeat by a combined Opposi- baker opened the proceedings on leaders' day of the throne speech debate -- an eightalay affair that opens discussions on. any and all phases of govern- ment activity. RAISED SCANDALS Although he touched on many Douglas Puts Amendment To Diefenbaker's Motion the "conspicuous absence" of references to allegations of scandal which have swirled around the government in re- cent months. Mr. Pearson countered with a defence of the program and some amplification of govern- ment plans to increase aid to the needy--major item in the throne speech, : He said some 200,000 needy mothers and children not now covered by welfare programs will be brought under the pro- posed Canada Assistance Plan at a cost of about $25,000,000 annually. It also would provide for half the health costs of those on welfare asistance, an- other $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 a year. These plans are to be set out before a federal - provincial conference on welfare ministers Thursday. Mr. Diefenbaker said the gov- ernment should have declared a "war on wrongdoing" as well as setting out measures to fight poverty. What were needed were measures "to stamp out influence-peddling and corrup- tion" in government, ; _| 'He mentioned involvement of tion, vote, interest is height-|-shinet aides in a Judicial ine fen-|auiry into allegations of bribery 'ition Leader Diefen-|iog ttempts in the and involvement of two cab- inet ministers in no-down-pay- ment furniture purchases from a firm that went bankrupt with millions owing creditors. Mr. Pearson replied that he btained the resignations of aspects of the program of ac: tion the government set out in the speech from the throne, read Monday by Governor-Gen- eral Vanier, Mr. Diefenbaker hit hardest at what he called Federal Aid By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP) -- A major program to pump extra federal aid into public welfare as one phase of his newly - declared "war on poverty" was revealed in the Commons Tuesday by Prime Minister Pearson. He called it "an important further step in the development of Canada's social security sys- tem" and a companion meas- ure to the Canada Pension Plan. The shared - cost program, to be known as the Canada Assist- ance Plan, will be discussed at federal - provincial welfare ministers' conference opening here Thursday. Mr. Pearson, speaking in the opening of the eight-day throne speech debate, said the C.A.P. will have four parts, three of them entirely new: --Revised old age assistance payments to cover the poor over 65 on the basis of need. --Assistance to needy moth- ers and their dependent chil- dren, --Federal sharing of the costs of strengthening and expand- ing welfare services, enabling provincial and municipal wel- fare departments to hire more trained staff and thus provide more effective serv- ice. The proposed division of cost was given only for the health care item. Others will presum- ably be discussed with the pro- vincial ministers. Nor was there any mention of the scale of payments to in- dividual recipients, another item for the conference to tackle. The prime. minister put a price tag on only two of the four parts -- $25,000,000 a year for an estimated 200,000 needy mothers and between $15,000,- 000: and °$20,000,° for health costs. Under the new system of as- sistance, four present cost-shar- ing plans would be scrapped and gathered into one package, if the provinces agree.

Unemployment Assistance ct. There would no longer be an income limitation on assistance to the needy aged. "As members know, federal sharing under the present' pro- gram is limited to half of the $75 a month," Mr. Pearson said. "Under the proposed Can- ada Assistance Plan, payments can be based on an assessment of the recipient's needs." - Mr. Pearson described the three new parts of the C.A.P, program this way: Needy Mothers -- "'It is esti- mated that the proposed plan would cover close to 200,000 needy mothers and their chil- dren who are now excluded from the sharing provisions of the Unemployment Assistance Act. The cost of this to the fed- eral government will be more than $25,000,000 a year." Health Care -- "It would be illogical to help meet . people's needs for food, clothing and shelter but to exclude health care for people for whom it is equally essential and cannot af- ford it on an assistance bud- get." Better Welfare Services -- "This will help provincial and municipal welfare departments to recruit additional trained staff and to provide more effec- tive service to assistance recip- ients. In this way, we intend that assistance should be much more effectively linked to other programs including vocational training, rehabilitation and job placement. pressure a , Lucien Rivard narcotics case ©
