The semi-official Cairo news- paper A1 Shaab ‘blamed “im- perialists and"tiheir stooges” for what it. called “the fictitious Egyptian - Sudanese crisis.” It added: ‘

“Imperialism divulged its sinis- ter intentions when an. official spokesman in London declared that the British government was in constant touch with Sudan over the dispute.” .

'1‘-he Sudanese Embassy here is- sued a communique “denying ab- solutely” that the,Sudan govern- ment had established any contact with the British government.

BECAME MORE SERIOUS

The Egyptian government- sponsored Middle East News Agency has reported the situa- tion “‘took a serious turn” follow- ing the dispatch of Sudanese troops.

In. Khartoum, the various Sudanese political parties ' were reported almost in agreement on a truce in the face of the dispute.

Distance from Quebec to Mont- real “as the crow flies” is 130 nautical miles.

Both witnesses based their cal- culations on the plane’s fuel con- sumption on its final flight from Keflavik, Iceland, where the air- craft was refueled after landing from London. It was flying 73 persons and six crew members- mostly from the Toronto-Hamih ton area——back to Toronto after a holiday overseas.

PEIPING (Reuters)-—Commu- nist China announced Wednesday it is withdrawing its troops from North Korea and challenged the United States to stage a similar pullout in South Korea.

The offer came at the end of a five-day visit to North Korea by Chinese Premier Chou En-lai and was announced in a statement is- sued here and ' in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.

~ Withdrawal of t-h e “volun- 'teers,” who poured across the Yalu River in 1950 to halt the United Nations advance during the Korean War, will be com- pleted by the end of the year, the statement said. '

It added the first stage of the withdrawal will end April 30. Some 200,000 Chinese troops en- tered the Korean War but a gov- ernment official said he could not reveal their present strength- South Korea has estimated the force at 350,000. ’

OTTAWA (CP)-Soft - spoken Tom Nye, a labor delegate from Lindsay, Ont., says co-education is bunk and boys ought to be taught by men.

President of the Lindsay and District Labor Council and a for-

- mer school trustee, Mr. Nye Wed-

nesday told the Canadian Confer- ence on Education that “worxen teachers cannot teach the man- liness necessary to equip a boy for this tough wor1d.”

Addressing a workshop on cur- ricular organization, Mr. said the hundreds of new schools planned in communities through- out Canda should be boys’ schools and girls’ schools the girls taught by men or women, and e boys taught only by men. Teen- age delinquency would be solved and the school system would turn out a better product. ,

“Boys now are raised to see this world mainly through the eyes of women,” said Mr. Nye who has a 19-year-old son in high scho‘ol.

Is Bunk Says

“From birth until the age of six they’re dominated by mom, between six and 13 the’re/domi- nated by women teachers at the elementary school level, and be- tween 13 and 18 it's the same again in high school. .

“A lot of life’s experiences emanate from the teachers ‘on the side’ in the classroom. Let boys absorb a man’s stock of such experiences.”

“Women,” he added, “say that if they ran the world there would never be _a war.”

“Have you ever seen what happens when two women have to share kitchen and bathroom facilities?"

“I am not in the least belit- tling girls or women. But I feel they belong in the mature age of man, not to any great extent in the adolescent school age,” the 46-year-old widower said.

“I believe the basic decencies of manhood are learned on the playing field by the participation

of all types of boy."

Pearson said Wednesdr one of the best ways of gaining head- way towards world peace is to split the forces of national com-

munism and Russian imperial- ism.

The Liberal leader told a cheer- ing group of some 50 ethnic news- paper editors that he never has been “soft” towards the Reds. The Russians twice had vetoed his chances of becoming secre- tary-general of the United Na- tions. .

And there were times d i__g the last few days of the election campaign, “when I wish I had got that job,” he added with a smile. ~

Then he continued: “The cold war cannot continue indefinitely without it turning into a hot war. If we somehow can make a split between Russian imperialism and we would be making headway towards

McMurrer is wanted by the RCMP on charges of fraud and refusing to deliver property. He has be‘en missing since May, 1957.

The bddition of McMurrer to the list brings to four the number of men on the list of most-wanted men.vThe list never has totalled more than 10 names since it was instituted in 1952 as an aid to police agencies.

The charges against McMurrer arose. while he was employed "at Charlottetown as manager of the duplicating branch of the depart- ment of the provincial, secretary of the P.E.I. government. FALSIFIED INVOICES

He is accused of obtaining about $15,000 by falsifying ‘in- voices and orders for supplies to fictitious business firms. The RCMP says M-cMurrer is charged with picking up and cashing cheques issued by the provincial treasury department in payment for the supplies.

The RCMP said McMurrer left P.E.I. at the end of May, 1957, driving a government owned 1956' Plymouth sedan bearing li- cence number 12-452. The serial

BAHREIN, Persian Gulf (AP) A new British freighter carrying explosives for Iran’s oil fields blew up in Bahrein harbor Wed- nesday night while the. crew was fighting a two-day fire.

Some wreckage was found two miles away. The explosion rocked the island, off the coast of Saudi Arabia.

Rescue craft working by the light of flames from the shattered hulk of the 7,400-ton Seistan quickly picked up one body and nine wounded survivors from more than 60 persons reported to have been aboard.

“The ship just seemed to jump out of the water,” an injured sea- man said.

There were reports that at least 20 others also lived through the blast, which rocked the har- bor area at 9:45 p.m. The exact casualty toll was not likely to be known until daylight.

The Seistan, a motor ship built in 1957 at South Shields, England,

FIRE CONTROLLED

The fire was brought under control, but burned on while the crew fought it with steam and tackled the job of unloading about 175 tons, of explosives from the holds. Half the explosives had been moved ahsore when the blast ripped the ship.

Owned by the Strick Line Lim- ited, of London, the Seistan was carrying the explosives and other material for use in the Iranian oil fields. The cargo was esti- mated worth $2,800,000.

The skipper is a Welshman, Capt. W. Chappell.

A company spokesman said there were 12 British officers and about 50 Asian crew mgmibers un- der Chappell. ‘

Also aboard was a woman pas- senger and her eight - year - old

son. They were among the sur- vivors.

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

Southern Ontario continued ef- forts to overcome the effects of a four-day storm Wednesday, aided by h i g h e r temperatures a nd lighter winds.

Most Quebec areas dug them- selves out from drifted snow that blocked highways and isolated towns.

The forecaster predicted con- tinued moderation today in On- tario with temperatures to 2‘ de- grees after three days of sub- zero recordings.

Quebec’s forecast was the same except for minor snowflurries ex- pected in southern areas. Skies were to be cloudy.

The rest of Canada enjoyed normal winter weather, with sunny skies in southern Manitoba and the Maritimes.

British Columbia had tempera-

coast and snow in the north. Prairie regions expected slightly cooler but still mild weather with some snowflurries.

SIX DIE IN ONTARIO

Ontario’s death toll attributed to the storm rose to six Wednes- day. Quebec’s standsat five. A Brockville, Ont., man died of a

police found the frozen body of an 31-year-old man in Fort Erie in a one-room shack. They esti- mated he died Monday during the intense cold.

The milder weather allowed some towns and villages isolated since Sunday to dig through to outside contact.

This time there. was a crowd waving balloons and signs, while the brass band from the Mount Cashel Orphanage school played in the background.

Last year, although there was a demonstration on Mr. Diefen- baker’s arrival, it was staged for the then Liberal immigration minister J. W. Pickersgill who travelled on the same plane with -the Conservative leader.
