SUGGESTS MEDIATION
The Indonesian ambassador in London. Prof. Radcn Supomo. in private meeting with Nehru. sug- gested that the five Colombo pow- ers mediate the Formosa dispute if peace moves by the United Na- tions Security Council fall. The Colombo powers are India. Pak-I istan. Ceylon, Burma and Indon- esla.
Meanwhile Red China's propa- ganda indicated Mao was casting, about for a face-saving way of sending s delegation to the Sec- urity Council to discuss Formosa.
only last week Peiping said a cease-fire proposal would be "ab- solutely unacceptable." But Mac's radio repeatedly reported on the Russian resolution before the Se- curlty Council inviting Red China to New York to talk about Ameri- can "acts of aggression” in the Formosa strait.
The feeling was general in dip- lomatic circles here that Red China was getting ready to talk before the Security Council about the American role. In discussing that. the Chinese Reds would have to talk about a cease-fire.

Navy Liquor Will Remain
OTTAWA, (CPI-Canadian Navy regulations on shipboard consump tion of liquor likely will remain unchanged despite the recent one of methyl alcohol ,.poisonlng aboard HMCS Magnificent at Halifax. F ' i Minister Camp- ney indicated Wednesday.
He said in the Commons that the regulations. in force for genera- tions. were reviewed I few years ago by the naval board. which de- cided they should not be changed. In view of this decision further re- view now was not considered nec- csssry.
Mr. Campncy replied to ques- tions by John Diefenbaker PCe- Prince Albert about the poisoning of 47 sailors aboard the aircraft carrier who drank surreptitiously a brew containing methyl alcohol. An official board of inquiry is in- vestigating the affair.
Mr. Dicfenbakcr suggested that instead of punishing the sailors in- volved the department should con- sider equalizing liquor regulat- ions as between ratings and of- ficers.
He asked whether it would be
opportune now to implement rec-
ommendations of the Mainguy
manpower--s reduction which the army chief of staff. Gen. Matthew B. Ridllily. told Congress would jeopardise security to a degree. His own decision. Eisenhow said. was not reached lightly and represents his best judgment as to an "adequate defence structure." particularly on a long-term basis. Most of the conference centred around the Formosan and related situations. despite Eisenhower's reluctance to go into details on what he said is a delicate inter- national situation now being cin-
