Food, Clothing Prices Calm Ais Price Index Increases OTTAWA (CP) -- The con- sumer price index increased three-tenths of a point between April and May as Canadians faced higher costs for every- thing but food and clothing. The index, based on 1949 prices equalling 100, climbed to 148.1 at the beginning of May from 147.8 in April. The index stood at 143.4 in May, 1966. The Dominion Bureau.of Sta- tistics reported that food prices dropped three-tenths of a point during the month, clothing prices stood unchanged, and in- creases hit housing, transporta- tion, health, recreation and to- bacco. DBS recorded lower prices for all meat, fish and poultry items with the exception of liver and chicken. Declines also were noted for. bread, jam, infants' food, coffee, tea, all fats except butter, eggs, orange juice and canned fruits, Among vegetables, prices were lower for potatoes, canned corn, canned baked beans, and frozen green beans. Most fresh vegetables were more expen- sive. DAIRY PRODUCTS RISE The price of tomato juice was lower but most dairy products, cookies, sugar and all fresh fruits cost more. A sub - index for housing in- creased to 150.5 from 150.1 as a result of general changes in both shelter and household op- eration costs. In clothing, increases in men's wear and footwear were offset by decreases in women's and children's wearing apparel and Increased bus and train fares, higher prices for gasoline and motor oil, more than offset lower auto prices and pushed the transportation index up two- tenths of a point. Landreville Bar Opposed | OTTAWA (CP) -- A formal move to impeach Mr. Justice Leo Landreville was made in the Senate Tuesday night and the expected opposition showed up immediately. Reading of a lengthy indict- ment against the Ontario Su- preme Court justice was inter- rupted frequently by Senator Sarto Fournier (L -- Quebec), one of four senators who earlier this year fought a committee recommendation that Mr. Jus- tice Landreville be removed from the bench. Despite Senator Fournier's protests, Senator Daniel Lang (L--Ontario) placed on the rec- ord a motion declaring Mr. Justice Landreville had perma- nently impaired his usefulness as a judge and was unfit to exercise his office. Introduction of the motion, not debateable be fore Thursday, was unprecedented. 4 It cited the judge's' accept- ance of delivery of 7,500 shares of Northern Ontario Natural Gas Co. Ltd., without payment, as justifiably causing 'grave suspicion of impropriety'? which Lake St. John area, 150 miles northeast of Quebec city.

No new fires were reported in British Columbia where five were brought under control Monday. Prince Edward Island re- mained the only province free of forest fires at all. The situation in Saskatchewan remained "critical" Tues- day where 36 fires raged.

Far East Fighting Slackens SAIGON (AP)--The U.S. com- mand reported today that fight- ing in Vietnam had slacked to its lowest level this year with only scattered ground skir- mishes and relatively few air strikes against North Vietnam. Despite the lull, losses were sustained in small fights and a navy Crusader jet was lost to ground fire over the North. The ag was picked up in the Ton- Gulf. It was the 573rd U.S. combat plane reported lost .in North Vietnam.

U.S. and British denials seemed} to be ignored. The decisions by the two oil- rich countries were reported by Cairo and Beirut radios. The two followed a lead established by Kuwait, Iraq and-Algeria. | Saudi Arabia is the world's) jthird biggest oil producer out- |side the Communist bloc. Libya jhas huge potentials. The Saudi cabinet announced it had decided to cut off oil jsales immediately to "the coun- \tries that.are helping Israel in its aggression." The Libyan decision, an- nounced by Radio Cairo, was re- ported taken "in solidarity with the other oil-producing countries and in conformity with the role imposed by the nature of the phase through which the Arab nation is passing in the face of} the Zionist aggression." Halting of the flow from these fields means virtually all oil ex- ports from Arab Middle Eastern countries to the West have been cut off: Iran Postpones East, but it appeared that neither side viewed this as a matic moves.

Crowd Cheers Handshake That Ends Royal Quarrel | LONDON (CP) -- The Queen smiled and shook hands with the Duchess of Windsor today in the presence of the Royal Family and about, 1,000 London- trim in dark blue silk coat and matching pillbox hat and be- traying her 70 years only in a rather uncertain walk. The duchess smiled broadly, and the ers, publicly heali the fa- mous feud that has split British royalty for 30 years. The crowd broke into applause and mild cheering. It was the first time the Queen had appeared in public with the former American di- vorcee for whom King Edward VI, the Queen's uncle, gave up the throne in 1936. The royal reconciliation took place shortly after the unveiling by the Queen of a memorial plaque to her grandmother, Queen Mary, on the garden wall of the old queen's London home, Marlborough House. KISSES QUEEN MOTHER The Queen Mother also had a 72-year-old Duke of Windsor, hatless with his silver hair gleaming in the sun, suddenly bobbed forward and planted a kiss on the Queen Mother's cheek, It was long rumored in palace circles that the Queen Mother had some reluctance about a reconciliation, that she believed jher husband's life was short- ened by the strain of his. un- expected kingship. The occasion for the public reconciliation had a touch of irony for the same reason, Queen Mary, who died in 1953; |was known to have strongly dis- {approved of Edward's abdica- tion to marry "the woman I long ehat with the duchess--' love."

To Hike Costs LONDON (AP) -- European government and business lead- ers expect Egypt's closure of the Suez Canal to bring soaring prices and hardship to Western countries. British officials believe Brit- ain will be hardest hit of all, Many West European coun- tries, profiteering from the bit- ter experience of 11 years ago, have found alternative supplies of oil and laid in stocks' of the vital fuel. Only Britain and the United States are affected directly by the Iraqi-Kuwaiti-Algerian ban on'the sale of oil. . Britain and most other major West European countries are believed to have oil stocks for about three months.
