“There is no use of going to a summit conference,” he said, “with the knowledge that neither will adjust himself to the argu— ments of the other at all; “Frankly, you would just be glaring at each other across the table and (go) home.” ' Eisenhower said the letters he has exchanged with Soviet Pre- mier Bulganin have failed thus far to develop better under-stand- ing or enhance the likelihood of summit talks.

Seventy-nine persons—six crew and 73 men, women and children passengers—died aboard a Mari- time Central Airways DC-4 char- tered airliner Aug. 11 when it plunged into a Quebec bog.

The board of inquiry’s purpose, following the exhaustive prelimin- ary investigation, is to “express an opinion on the cause of the ac- cident to CF-MCF, and as to whether there was any breach of air regulations involved.”

The four-engined CF-MCF dis- integrated with its passengers in the bog near Issoudun, Que., 15 miles southwest of Quebec City. It apparently dug in nose first and evidence pointed to a subse- quent blast which even shattered jewels and left few intact plane portions.

Bulganin in a lengthy answer Sunday turned down these points. He reiterated long-standing pro- posals, including an East-West non-aggression pact, easing trade controls and set-ting up a zone in Central Europe free of atomic weapons.

VastWorks! A Plans Told

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker unloaded a new pro-election barrage Wednesday by announcing anti v'unemploy- ment spending for public works that could run to $250,000,000;

His announcement to reporters -—-a week before he kicks off his campaign in Winnipeg for re- election March 31 — said the

“great national program” of works will stretch into every province.

Some of the projects would e all-federal jobs. Others—to be an- nounced later—would involve pro- vincial co-operation. -

The program will be “designed to meet unemployment conditions in varions parts of the country,” Mr. Diefenbaker said to news- paper men after a cabinet meet-

Almost immediately, his office announced the first stages of the work's—a $12,000,000 development for the Port of St. John’s, Nfld., and a $200,000 engineering study of the long-proposed $50,000,000 causeway to link Prince Edward Island with the mainland. MAKES NO ESTIMATE

Mr. Diefenbaker described the program as comprehensive but would not make an estimate of the over-all cost to the treasury.

However, he told a national meeting of young Conservatives last Saturday that works projects running up to $250,000,000 were in process for the next six months 01' so. v The prime minister indicated to reporters Wednesday his time- table is to he stepped up, saying the». program will. with “ifiiii’fédiat‘élyf

“It is a very extensive and challenging program,” he said, adding t at it is a part of the Cimserv'a-ives’ national develop- ment policy promised to electors during the last federal campaign.

It would be “comprehensive” and would give incentive to the construction industry and to sup- pliers. ' 1

Apart from the Newfoundland and P.E.I. projects further as- pects of the program are to be made public later. It appeared likely Mr. Diefenbaker might dis- close local projects as he‘ went about the country. IMMEDIATE START

This would be aimed at determining the feasibility of the nine-mile road over the water, its effect on tidal conditions and fisheries and an estimate of the entire cost. FUNDS MADE'READY

The three were charged follow- ing what police called a “goons' rai ” on a polling station in sub- u r b a n Mackayville. Witnesses said 12 men, including the three sentenced Wednesday, had burst into the polling station and thrust marked ballots into the boxes.

Sentenced were Claude Chan-on,

Seek To Fix Final Outlay

Information received from Ot- tawa last night indicates that the engineering study planned for the causeway between Borden and Cape Jourimain, N. B., will include a study of design to de- termine the feasibility of con- struction and also the effect of the causeway on tidal conditions and on the fishing industry.

It was also learned that a cost estimate of the entire project will be made, based on the de- sign that is deemed to be feasible. _ .

The causeway proiect' hit the headlines first early in .1956. There followed a prellmmary survey which involved diamond drilling to indicate the depth and quality of rock that might be found within a distance of Tor- mentine that would make the hauling of the rock for a cause- way economically feasible.

dicate there was plenty of rock in the im' mediate area although no announcement was forth- coming on its quality, until it had undergone extensive tests. There has been no official announcement on the quality of the rock although an unofficial report states that there is a suffi- cient quality of suitable rock on the New Brunswick side’within a Continued on page 15 Col. 7
