Help Arrives To Fight Fires TORONTO (CP)--Help poured in today to help fight 140 forest fires burning in the 200,000 square miles between Kempt- ville on the east and Kenora on the west of Ontario.

"You can never tell with wind changes." Fire' officials said a careless fisherman probably started the fire--no lightning preceeded it. But there has been no loss of life, no serious injuries. The fire, in its first swift stab Saturday, engulfed 5,000 acres of spruce and jackpine country and jumped 144 miles across Pelican Narrows to a_ beach head on the Pelican Lake pro- mentory on which the lookout is located. The wind brought the threat of disaster to Sioux Lookout doorstep with gusts to 45 miles an hour. Words of the meterolo- gists prompted the decision to turn an evacuation alert into the real thing. "The wind predictions would |have driven the fire into the town but this didn't material- ize,' Chief Maskerine said. "The wind stayed in the west."

OPEN CITY STATUS ASKED Air Battles, Bombing Raids FOR JERUSALEM BY POPE VATICAN CITY (AP) Paul appealed today to the United Nations, Israel and the Arab countries to halt the Middle East fighting. He ask- ed that Jerusalem be declar- ed an open city. The Pope sent a message to UN Secretary - General U Thant in New York and in- structions to his envoys in Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon. The brief message 'said: "We are deeply saddened and concerned by the devel- opments in the events in the Middle East and, while we pray that the Divine Mercy may preserve that area and the world from suffering and destruction, we ask you to make every effort that the United Nationa organization may succeed in halting the conflict. 'We express in the name of Christianity the fervent hope that if in the unfortu- nate eventuality, which we firmly trust will never occur, the situation should worsen Jerusalem because of its pe- culiarly sacred and holy cha- racter be declared an open and inviolable city.' Urgent New Talks' LONDON (AP) -- Britain to- day expressed "grave concern" at the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East and launched urgent new talks among the big four powers to restore peace. The foreign office declined to say if it thinks full-scale war has erupted, declaring that "the present situation is far from clear," Hostilities 'Spreading, Says Thant By ALEXANDER FARRELL UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- United Nations Secretary-Gen- eral U Thant said today in a report on the outbreak of Mid- dle East hostilities that 'serious military action is taking place on land and in the air at a num- ber of points and is spreading." He also said Jordanian troops have occupied Government House, headquarters of the UN armistice commission on the Jordanian-Israeli border, thus cutting its contact with UN headquarters in New York City. He told the UN Security Coun- cil he cabled King Hussein of Jordan requesting immediate withdrawal of the Jordanian troops. Thant said his information from UN sources in the Middle East was fragmentary and pro- vided "no means of ascertaining how hostilities were initiated." He reported that a convoy of the UN Emergency Force was strafed by an Israeli plane, with three Indian soldiers killed and an unknown number wounded. Many of the UNEF troops, in- cluding more than 700 Cana- dians, had been withdrawn prior to the hostilities. 'KNEELING POSITION TO START...

Hope and Crosby appeared on a television talk show in London Sunday night and the chat turned to Dominion Day, the Derby second favorite ered, owned jointly by Calgary pub- * lisher Max Bell, Vancouver oil man Frank McMahon and Crosby. TV host Eamonn Andrews asked Crosby what brought him to London, Almost before Crosby could explain how he hoped to see Dominion Day win Wednesday, Hope broke 'in with a patter of gibes.

Use May Rise Of Canadian Oil OTTAWA (CP) -- Sustained fighting in the Middle East could result in-increased use of Canadian oil in North America, an energy department official said today. But he said this depends on a number of "'ifs" and it is too early to make predictions. The 1956 Suez crisis resulted in some price increases for Ca- nadian oil and in tanker ship- ments from the Middle East. But the official said this pat- tern probably would not be re- peated because of a subsequent buildup in domestic U.S. sup- plies, If today's outbreak led to a cutoff of tanker shipments from Tran and Kuwait in the Persian Gulf, the effect might be to di- vert some Venezuelan oil into Europe, the official said. Canadian oll might be called upon to replace the normally- heavy shi ts of Vi oil into the U.S. and Canada. Four-fifths of the big Montreal Italians Triumph Again At Bridge MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

The UN Security Council, which had met fruitlessly for | two weeks in an effort to pre- serve the peace, was called into emergency session in New York. In Washinton, the U.S. gov- ernment called on all parties to support the council, and said: "Tragic consequences will flow from this needless and de- structive struggle if the fighting does not stop immediately." GRAVE CONCERN Britain expressed grave con- cern and launched new discus- sions among the big four pow- ers. "In Ottawa a spokesman for Prime Minister Pearson said the Canadian leader was made aware of the fighting and a number of emergency meetings were likely to be held. External Affairs Minister Martin said in an interview he has been in continuous touch with Canadian officials at the UN since early today. He de-| clined to comment further. The fighting first erupted on the Sinai desert front between Egyptian and Israeli troops and tanks, then spread to the Syrian and Jordanian fronts. Both sides accused the other of starting the war after weeks of crisis. Egypt said Cairo and other Egyptian targets were bombed. Damascus radio reported that Syrian air force planes bombed the oil refinery in Haifa and left it in flames. The broadcast said airfields in northern Israel were heavily damaged. Amman radio said Jordanian planes also took part in the raid. The hardest ground fighting appeared to be centred in the Sinai desert front involving Egyptian and Isaeli troops. An Israeli dispatch said the army there had made gains but this was denied in Cairo. Fighting also broke out along the Egypt- ian - administered Gaza Strip farther north.
