-Geneva Meet Deadlocks On East vs West Disputes

e

By TOM OCHILTREE GENEVA (AP)—East and West rejected each other’s proposals for a German settlement at the big four foreign ministers con- ference Monday. But Russia said parts of the West's proposal de- serve further consideration. U.S. State Secretary Christian A. Herter charged the Soviet plan for separate peace treaties with East and West Germany carried “the seeds of future discord and conflict.” He accused the \Soviet , Union of blocking a German set- tlement.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andret A. Gromyko snapped back that the United States, Britain and France were trying to promote a state of half-war, half-peace in Germany. He said the Western powers were trying to extend their “occupation regime in West

He turned down the West’s package approach ‘for German reunification and described West- ern proposals for uniting East and West Berlin—the first phase of the package—as “utterly unac- ceptable.””

In his hour long speech Gromyko said German. reunifica- tion was possible only through direct action by the East and West German states.

DISTURBING SESSION

An American spokesman told reporters after the three-hour ses sion that Gromyko’s speech was “both disturbing and disquiet- ing.” .

Gromyko left open some ava- nues of \negotiation, however, by expressing a willingness to dis-

‘29 NURSES GET DIPLOMAS

“In this age of lowered stand- ards and so-called ‘snap’ courses leading to degrees, it is gratify- img to note that nursing schoois of this province have raised their standards of admission,’” Lt.- Col. Leo F. MacDonald, told members of the graduating class of the Charlottetown Hospitai's School of Nursing last night.

Speaking at graduating exercis- es held in Birchwood High School Auditorium, Colonel MacDonald reminded the graduates ‘hat “very little of real vorthwhile ivaiue is won in this life without sincere and honest effort and us ually the value and satisfaction o>tained are in direct proportion to the effort involved in obfain- ing them.”

“It is so very importan: that the ideals you have been taught, both physical and moral . . must be the bavs of your deeds so that,in letting your light shine before all men you teach well and truly by example.

“Yours has been a great priv- ilege and therefore. yours will be a great responsibiliy.

Diplomas were presented te the 29 graduates by His Excel- lency Most Rev. Maicoim A. Mae Eachern, Bishop of Charlotte town and graduating pins were presented by two members of the school’s teaching: faculty Sis- ter Marie Monica and Sister Mary Patricia.

Only the fact that the wind was blowing strongly from the northeast saved his nearby home, Mr. Crosby stated last evening.

The fire was discovered at 4.30 a.m. by Mr. Crosby, who was awakened by a “crackling noise’’.

With the help of a neighbor, he managed to save a tractor and four cattle.

st Rates

Are Emphasized >

for western export grain, Lionel Chevrier (L—Montreal Laurier) complained Monday.

Those rates — which the rail- ways contend are non-realistic— should be examined to see whet- her they are “‘compensatory,” the former Liberal transport minister said. If they aren't, perhaps the commission might suggest a form of subsidy for the farmer—pro- tecting both wheat exports and getting the railways off the high- costs hook. — Z

Prime Minister Diefenbaker said last week in announcing the composition of the royal commis- sion and its terms of reference that the Crowsnest Pass rates won't be affected.

Douglas Fisher (CCF—Port Ar- thur) said Monday that grain farmers and railway employees are being set against each in the interests of management and both are getting “clobbered.” Grain freight rates were too high and every time rail employees asked for a wage increase they were pictured as driving costs up farther.

FINAL READING The views came as the Com-

-. |mons gave final reading to a bill

to pay the railways a $20,000,000 subsidy in compensation for the cabinet having scaled down a freight rate increase to about 10 per cent from 17. The rate in- crease, granted last fall by the Board of Transport Commission- - ers, was intended to help the rail- ways pay for higher wages to non-operating railway employees.

In other Commons business Monday, Prime Minister Diefen- baker described Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s latest offer regard- ing detection of high-altitude nu- clear tests as a “cautious” step jereers but no major change of Russian policy.
