LONDON (CPI — A mighty uproar rose in Britain today against the nuclear deal Prime Minister Macmillan made with President Kennedy at The Ba- hamas conference.

A Labor party leader called it utter failure. the Liberal party chief said it exposed Brit- ain's nuclear deterrent as a myth. and newspaper head- lines screamed at Macmillan's acceptance of Kennedy’s plan. While Macmillan's cabinet— meeting here without him but with his guidance - approved the plan. it appeared that many of his fellow Conservative party members would dissent.

“The sell-out." screams Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express (circulation nearl 5.000.000) across eight front - page col-

umns. “Macmillan's s u r r e n der "a

Pickersgill Opposes Gill Fishermen Plan

OTTAWA (CPI—J. W. Pick- crsgili. the Liberal party's load- ing spokesman for the tlantic provinces. Friday night opposed a recommendation by the Gill

Mr. Pickersgill. member of I

the Commons for Bonavista- Twillingate and a former cabi- net minister. said in a state- moot:

“i am shocked by the recom- mendation of the Gill report that self - employed fishermen should be excluded from the nrw unemployment insurance pan."

The Gill report. prepared by n four-man committee under Toronto insurance executive Er- nest C. Gill. proposed that a separate plan be instituted for fishermen. providing an income supplement to those chronically under-employed.

The report said this should be

"I tend to oppose this recom- mendation with all the strength have." Mr. Pickersgill said. The proposal was not satisfae tory for two reasons:

"Many fishermen want to work in the off-season and they feel they should have the same right as other workers to build up benefits for future periods of unemployment.

“A separate plan of income support for fishermen would} destroy the existing incentive to accept work in the off-season whenever there Is work avail- able. While there is plenty of room for improvement in the present system. the fishermen must 0 cut off unemploy- ment insurance and l intend to
