Nfld. Fishermen Have Troubles
ST. JOHl\"S, Nfld.‘ (CP) — Un- eniplayineiit insurance supervisor N. S. Batten said Tuesday many problems have occurred because many Newfoundland fishermen failed to understand the unem- ployment insurance plan avail- able to them for the first time last year.
He told the Newfoundland Fed- eration of Fishermen that more than 1,700 claims were delayed because applicants did not send in their unemtnloyment books or failed to supply necessary infor- mation.
He said 15 per cent of the ap- plications were unsigned. This of- ten delayed claims as long as eight days.

He said the company is seeking co-operation of chambers of com-

Irf a ferry is built it would be operated by a Clarke su-bsidiary. the Lower St. Lawrence Trans- portation Company.

“Should‘ wharf facilities in the Rimouski area be constructed at a suitable winter location . . . there is no reason why this future vessel ‘should not be able to give an all-year transportation serv- ice." he said.
“It is certaliily the intention of the company to build such a yes- sel for winter navigation."

But they insisted on going fa-r deeper into issues at the diplo- matic level than the Russians want to go. Thus they put the next move up to the Russians and the Kremlin was silent,
Similar notes from the three Western Powers delivered to So- viet foreign minister Andrei Gromyko accepted the Russian proposal of April 11 that prepar- atory talks for a summit confer- ence begin on the diplomatic level today.
They rejected, however, the suggestion that the diplomatic ex-

A Western diplomat said this meant the ambassadors did not plan to call at the Soviet foreign ministry today or take any fur- ther steps, “unless a reply to our notes of today requests us to do so.” ,
UP TO SOVIET
The initiative for starting dis- cussions "now is in the‘-hands of the Soviet foreign ministry,” he said.
Most W e s t e r n authorities doubted that the Soviet govern- ment would agree to such broad talks immediately. I
The whole emphasis of the Western notes, whic-h had been approved by all the North Atlantic allies, was on “broadly based talks on basic problems of world tension.”

"A one hundred million dollar‘ investment in a causeway would bring a 50 per cent annual re- turn to the Province of Prince Edward Island”. This was the opinion express€d last night by Dr. Frank MacKinnon, .President of the Atlantic Provinces Econo- mic Council.
At an executive meeting of APEC held in Charlottetown yes- terday, Wendell Mutch reporting for the tourist committee said there were 140,000 tourists in P. E. I. last year. He felt that with 170,000,000 people in the United States and 17 million in Canada, “we are not even in the tourist industry”.
NO WORRIES
Mr. Mutch said people are waking up to the value of the tourist industry and it is no long- er necessary‘ to sell the idea to them.” Once we get the cause- way there is not much to worry about regarding tourists".
Dr. MacKinnon assured the meeting that APEC has been be- hind the causeway project from the beginning and would continue to press for a connecting link be-
land.
Mr. Mutch observed that a sec- ond boat was “badly needed” at the present time but felt it would not be prudent to advocate another boat at this time be- cause, f‘it might lessen the chances of getting a causeway.”

“PARIS (AP)—President Rene Coby began Wednesday night a search for some sort of par- liamentary coalition to govern France, amid gloomy, predict~ioii's of a long-term cabinet crisis. Wit-h Premier Felix Gaillard’s cabinet routed by the combined attack of Conservatives and Com- «munist.-s, the president’s search for a national assembly majority promised to be an anguished one. If the next government, when it finally is formed, is more to the right than the last — which seems likely —— a hardening of French policy toward North Af- rlca appears inevitable. This was the fifth time a French government had been thrownlout on a North African issue. This time Gaillard had backed a U.S.-British good offices
