He looked over at Conserva- tive Premier John Robarts of Ontario and the two broke into broad smiles as a crowd of more than 1,000 laughed. Mr. Pearson was continuing the tone Friday of a_light- hearted expedition to his home- town to open the city's new $200,000,000 east-west subway. The public had its first chance today to ride the new eight-mile underground and is expected to be happy at the chance to leave the car at home and whiz downtown in half the time it took by streetcar. Street- ear service on the Bloor-Dan- forth line ends today. The Pearsons mingled with a good-natured crowd of some 1,300 guests at a buffet lunch at the Greenwood subway stop. Earlier, in a nostalgic peep at his boyhood, Mr. Pearson said the subway was "not as thrill- ing as a ride on the old belt line."' This was a streetcar line which operated in the early 1900s. "The subway price of $200,- 000,000 is about the size of the federal budget when I was a boy," said Mr. Pearson. Premier Robarts suggested that TTC Chairman Ralph Day, "the man who is keeping costs down," be made chairman of Expo 67. Prayers were offered for nine workmen killed during con- struction of the line, which is linked to the existing north- south Yonge Street - University Avenue route. Toronto now has 15 miles of subway in service. jek NKRUMAH «+A Happier Time to Peking to overthrow the gov- ernment Thursday, issued the warning to members of the presidential guard Friday night. Some hand-picked guardsmen were reported to be making a last-ditch stand at Nkrumah's residence, Flagstaff House, in the suburbs of Accra. Relatives cheered Friday as Ghana's new military leaders released 450 political prisoners from Nkrumah's jails. Even as special police loyal to Nkrumah put up a last-ditch stand at Accra's radio station, Lt-Gen, J. A. Ankrah, chief of the new National Liberation Council, appointed a seven-man group of experts to get Ghana's economy moving again. A number of special police were reported killed during the battle at Broadcast House which, informants said, erupted during a visit there by Col. E. K. Kotoka. Kotoka is be- lieved to have led the revolt that overthrew Nkrumah Thurs- day. : Otherwise the country was calm today, but army and po- lice pressed their hunt for offi- cials of Nkrumah's Convention Péople's party which was out- lawed after the coup. Among those being sought was Geoffrey Bing, 56, a left- wing British lawyer who has been Nkrumah's close friend and adviser since before inde- pendence in 1957. Some called him the power behind the ousted president. The Ghanaian Times, form- erly a special organ of the Con- vention People's party, quickly fell into Iine with the coup. RAID INSTITUTE The army raided the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute 40 miles outside Accra Friday and arrested the faculty. The students had fled. A dispatch from Peking by the official Soviet news agency, Tass, said Nkrumah declared, "I am _ returning to Ghana soon."'

(AP) The mightiest rocket ever built by the United States, a Saturn \I4B, thundered skyward today in an attempt to hurl the first unmanned Apollo moonship over a blazing re-entry course. The launching was the first of a long series of Apollo shots aimed at landing U.S. astro- nauts on the moon in this dec- ade.

OUR MAN IN WASHINGTON ... Delicate, Difficult Dealings Ahead By THE CANADIAN PRESS Albert Edgar (Ed) Ritchie, frame .-- who wears rimless glasses, has a host of friends policy-making. He advises his government on his knowledge of '.... SAYS CLEARLY WHAT MEANS neva on the Bermuda Sky Queen when the plane had to ditch in Canada's ambassador desig- nate to the United States, says Canada-U.S. financial relations and matters dealing with re- sources will likely be live topics during his sojourn in Washing- ton The 49-year-old career diplo- mat said Friday in an _ inter- view: "I wouldn't want to predict that these will be the dominant issues' but they will be active. Certainly financial relations are difficult and delicate. "These things fluctuate a good deal. In the last 10 years they've swung back and forth among problems nohody could have predicted. For instance, surplus agricultural products. They are no longer a problem." Ed Ritchie is a big New Brunswicker--six-three on a big not confined to the diplomatic world, and who insists on saying clearly what he means. His principal field is econom- ics but his interests are by no means confined to that DEALS WITH U.S. As deputy undersecretary of state for external affairs here-- the No. 3 post in the department --he deals mainly with U.S: re- lations, economics and Latin America. But as acting deputy minister when Marcel Cadieux is away, he has had to deal with most matters-in Canadian foreign affairs. "I'm hondred, flattered and complimented to be given this very big job,' he said. "It is one of the really interesting jobs in our servce." "The role vf an ambassador is pay and executive, not ) the country where he is posted and executes his government's policy when it is decided. But it is not a passive role." Mr. Ritchie spent a good part of the Second World War with fhe British economic warfare mission in Washington. His field of work--post-war trade and fi- nancial policy--coincided with the main interest of the Cana- dian embassy in Washington in 1944 and he joined external af- fairs through a regular depart- ment competition. HELPED SET UP GATT He left the department for two years--1946 to 48--to work for the United Nations and helped to set up the General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade. It almost cost him his life. He was flying home from the 1947 GATT conference in Ge- the North Atlantic. He was res- cued by the U.S. Coast Guard after nine hours on a life raft. Mr. Ritchie headed the de- partment's economic division here from to 1957, then served in Washington as. minis- ter, the No. 2 job in the em- bassy.

The new controlling group, the Baath party provisional na- tional leadership, announced Friday night that ex-president Gen.
