He also claimed to have been given the impression that Pre- mier Smallwood wanted even large communities in his area, such as the 1,800 people in Bur- geo and the 1,100 at Ramea, to resettle--and that witholding such services unnecessarily con- stituted "pressure" to achieve this aim. The joint statement claimed that "the premier stated em- phatically that it was unthink- able that such large places . . . should be closed down" but that it was becoming increasingly difficult to service settlements of 20 to 40 families and all help possible was being offered these latter communities to move. provinces mopped up in a forti- fied village near the South China Sea where they reported they killed 48 North Vietnamese regulars in seven hours of fight- ing Monday. Over North Vietnam, U.S. warplanes bombed five railway yards in scattered areas Mon- day, including a raid for the second time in as many days on the Haiphong yards 1.7 miles from the centre of the port city. U.S. Navy jets also attacked a highway bridge three-quarters of a mile from Haiphong's heart and the Hoa Lac airfield 20 miles west of Hanoi, which until recent raids was a base for MiG interceptors, In a delayed report, the U.S. command disclosed that U.S. gunship helicopters killed 17 Vietnamese civilians by mistake and wounded 23 more in the Me- kong Delta last Thursday. The helicopters attacked a treeline along a canal from where they reported receiving gunfire. A spokesman said the gunships fired at the request of a South Vietnamese regimental commander who said his troops were receiving fire. | US. Said Ready To Halt Bombing SAIGON (AP)--The United States is considering a major pause in the bombing of North Vietnam this winter to test Hanoi's_ willingness to start peace talks, a U.S. diplomat said today.

Foreign Minister Dr. Joseph Luns of The Netherlands told reporters he is approaching the next meeting of the six Common Market members "with anxi- ety." "I do not exclude that there will be a breakdown of talks be- tween the six on the issue of Britain's membership applica- tions,"" he said. "It is possible that there will be a crisis," he said. In reply to a reporter's ques- tion, Dr. Luns said there was no French veto of the British appli- cation as yet. "But the French attitude {s not encouraging at all," he said. "We have gained the impression that France wants pre-condi- tions in the economic and finan- cial field to be fulfilled before negotiations can open. "Years might go by before such pre-conditions can be ful- filled. They are not, in our view, in the spirit or according to the letter of the Rome treaty."

CALLED DICTATOR Accused throughout the cams paign by Mr. Van Horne of being a "dictator," Mr. Robi- chaud had retorted by saying the PC leader's 113-plank plat- form would cost $100,000,000 more than the revenue available to the province, To Mr. Van Horne's claim that he would wring the money out of the federal treasury, Mr. Robichaud had said he would "crawl" to Ottawa if the money were available. oa "I'm going to continue to be premier and I'll do my best for the people of New Brunswick in the development of our human and natural resources."
