In a solicitor's letter dated March 26, Toronto lawyer Ger- ald J. Charney says the report "was not made in accordance with the. generally accepted principles of accounting." A copy of the letter has been sent to the Institute of Char- tered Accountants of Ontario. The letter is a point-by-point answer to statements made in the auditors' report commis- sioned by the welfare depart- ment after Mr. Brown was dis- missed as director of Warren- dale last summer. The report charged Mr. Brown had raised salaries at the centre without approval from the board of directors, that expense cheques were not backed by adequate documents, and that Mr. Brown paid sev- eral of his relatives more. than their work deserved. The solicitor's letter says that Mr. Brown had complete authority to set salaries under the terms of his employment} _ and that his only obligation was U.S. Planes Strike Deep Rip At North Viet Areas SAIGON (AP) -- American airmen smashing deep into North Vietnam shot down a Communist MiG-17 Sunday while the ground war erupted with sharp fighting from the 17th parallel to the Mekong Delta.

The air battle over North Vietnam took place during a strike on the Son Tay army supply point 23 miles west of Hanoi, the first time the instal- lation has been reported bombed. It contains ammunition bunkers and barracks. A flight of eight MiGs jumped the U.S. raiders, and an air forhe F-105 Thunderchief shot one down. It was the 38th MiG kill claimed by U.S. flyers in the war, in contrast to 10 U.S. planes shot down by North Viet- namese pilots. The Thunderchief that went down over the North was hit by ground fire just above the de- militarized zone, the air force said. It was the 497th U.S. plane reported lost over the North.

Court Delays | J Rail Merger WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court held up the | merger of the Pennsylvania and| New York Central railroads to- | day. Justice Tom C. Clark, nouncing the 5-to-4 decision, said the merger should be de- layed until the Interstate Com- merce Commission determines the fate of railways. Clark made it clear the court was not passing on the validity of the merger, the biggest cor- porate union in the history of American business. The delay had been requested by the justice department and by nine other railways. The proposed $6,000,000,000 merger had been under study and discussion by the commis- sion for some 10 years. It ap- proved the deal last April, say- the merger could "fall apart" by delay. an-| | See Page 21 Today's Times for Special Went Ad Week Offer. a |activities prevents any further i jada's recommendation to tred near Can Tho, 50 miles southwest of Saigon, and was, another sign of the mounting) war in that vital area, which) grows much of the country's| rice and holds most of its peo-| ple.

Garry Sharp, 26-year-old truck driver, said the Chinese were on fishing junks which had forced his small sloop, The Ad- venture, to a halt in interna- tional waters about 65 miles east of Hong Kong. He said he had joined Newport Beach, Calif., owner- skipper of the yacht, William Harke, and Harke's wife to sail from Hong Kong to the United States.

POPE URGES "HOPEFUL OUTLOOK" "GIGANTIC, MENACING PROBLEMS" DESPITE Jerusalem Pilgrims Shiver In Snow By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS As Easter pilgrims shivered in snowy Jerusalem, Italians favoring birth control and di- vorce demonstrated in St. Pe- ter's Square in Rome and Pope Paul urged the world Sunday to maintain a hopeful outlook de- spite "'menacing and gigantic problems." The Queen and other mem- bers of the Royal Family at- tended Easter services in. St. George's Chapel, Windsor Pal- ace. Thousands of British peace marchers took advantage of balmy weather to -protest the Vietnam war in a demonstra- tion outside a U.S. Air Force base near London. They camped for the night before taking part in a rally in Lon- don's Trafalgar Square today. Jerusalem's Easter weather, with the first snow on the holi- day in decades, was the worst in memory, keeping all but about 500 of the thousands of pilgrims in the Holy City away from prayers at the marble tomb of Christ. The annual Easter procession moved through slushy streets, and sun- rise services were moved in- doors. Before nearly 250,000 persons jammed into St. Peter's Square, Pope Paul said his own joy on the festive day of Christ's res- urrection was dimmed by the world's troubles. But he urged men not to let their minds be saddened "at the futility of ef- forts towards. good, at the growing powers of darkness." The Pope said he believed it was time for the Roman Cath- olic Church to take up social problems again and announced the publication Tuesday on an encyclical on social justice and an end to poverty and hunger. It will be the fifth encyclical of the Pope's 34-year reign. Pope Paul began the day by celebrating mass in a poor sub- urb of Rome. In white vest- ments and a mitre, he also celebrated mass on the steps of St. Peter's before giving his Easter message to the throng in the square. As the pontiff appeared to speak, about 30 persons near the front of the crowd unveiled banners reading, 'fewer chil- dren, less famine," '"'yes to the pill," and "five million Italians want a family without hypoc- risy and cruelty." Others tried to tear down the banners and police hurried the demonstrators out of the crowd. The Roman Catholic Church for- bids divorce and artificial meth- ods of birth control. About 1,500 ban - the - bomb marchers turned out in West Berlin. Some marchers carried signs against the "U.S. war' in Vietnam. New York city's traditional Easter parade along Fifth Av- enue was marked by many fur coats and relatively few frilly hats, although the temperature was in the 50s. Mexico City police arrested more than 3,000 pranksters who observed the Easter custom of drenching strollers and motor- ists with water. NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Guards Attack Diplomatic Car MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Tass news agency said today Red Guards attacked a Soviet diplomatic car in Peking Sunday and tried to overturn it. The agency said the diplomats inside were surrounded for 6 hours by a rag- ing mob of "goons." The Red Guards, who Tass said were from Chinghua University, threatened to drag the diplo- mats out of the car. Peking Shaken By Earth Tremors PEKING (Reuters) -- The Chinese capital was shaken by several earth tremors today. Houses swayed and win- dows rattled but there was no sign of damage in the city centre. Crowds hurried out of buildings into the streets when the tremors were felt but returned after a few minutes Lone Yachtsman At Port Moresby PORT MORESBY, Papua, New Guinea (Reuters) -- A lone 18-year-old American, believed to be the young- est yachtsman ever to attempt a solo voyage round the world, has arrived here in his 24-foot sloop, Dove. Lee Graham of Los Angeles, said today he expects to take 314 years to complete the trip. He sailed into harbor for a month's rest from the British Solomon Islands Sunday after hitting some of the worst weather so far on the voyage. 'a "e THE TIMES Today ..
