THOMASVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Harold E. Stassen stepped out

Saturday as President Eisenhow- er’s disarmament cdviser and an- nounced he is a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. ‘

Stassen’s resignation in or-

der to run on the Republi- can ticket in the May primary was announced at the president’s vacation headquarters. ‘ _ Eisenhower said he accepted "tTre"4"i"€si‘gnation with deep regret. As is h’s custom in the case of primary races, the president did not directly endorse Stassen’s bid for the’ governorship. But in a let- ter to Stassen he said “you have much to contribute to the future of our country."

In re c e nt weeks there have been published reports—one pin- ned to a high administration offi- cial — that Eisenhower had de- cided Stassen had outlived his usefulness as disarma.ment ad- viser and would have to go.

But White House press secre- tary James Hagcrty replied Sat- urday “of course he wasn’t” when asked whether Stassen had been requested to quit. Hagerty said it was Stassen’; own deci- sion,~ inevitable and automatic

FARM PICTURE KEY

Mr. Coldwell said the depressed agriculture industry is partly to blame for “the almost unprece- dented unemployment” in Can- ada today. He said the two are also linked to Canada's trade def- icit.

“None of these issues can be effectively dealt with separately,” he said. “You cannot have a really effective parity price pro- gram for agriculture without a full employment program for la- bor, nor can you have full em- ployment for labor while there. is

And yet the Conserva- tives had been iii power only two or three weeks when they an- nounced that NORAD had been set up. , And these were the same Con- lservalives, said Mr. _Pearson. {who had accused the Liberals of allowiiig Canada to become a isatcllitc of the U.

Poland Suggests

Inspection Plan

WARSAW (AP) —— Poland has suggested an air-land inspection system for a proposed nuclear- free zone in Central Europe, in- formed sources said Sunday.

They said the suggestion was in a memorandum from Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki to en- voys of the Western big three, Canada and other nations in the last two days.

§Pearson Says PC's Permit .S. Control Of RCAF

Conservatives also came in some wearing “Carry On, John” but- tons in support of Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker. They heckled Mr. Pearson in early stages but later joined in prolonged ap- plause for the one-time Univer- sity of Toronto history professor.

GETS HECKLING

As the Liberal leader accused the Conservatives of aggravating unemployment, one h e c k 1 e r shouted: “You can't cure unem- ployment in five minutes and you know it!” Another said: “Are you Moses? You got us into this and now you can’t get us out.”

Mr. Pearson joked with the students as he spoke. his hands characteristically deep in his pockets. Later, he sat on a table with his legs swinging and called for questions. They came thick and fast. What did he think about the Conservatives attempt to get more seats in Quebec? What about iminigration and other

world issues?

For Indonesia

Is Proclaimecl

PADANG, Indonesia (AP) -— A revolutionary government for In- donesia was proclaimed Sunday with the aim of ousting Premier Djuanda and forcing President Sukarno to give up his “guided democracy."

It was the guided democracy program that brought Commun- ists into the central government. Rebel leaders said they will con- tinue to c o n s i d e r Sukarno as persident but only under certain conditions.

Dr. Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, former finance minister and un- til recently governor of the Bank of Indonesia, was named prem- er and finance minister.

The rebel» - designated premier appeared before a wildly cheer- ing crowd of 40,000 in this small Indian Ocean port and said:

“To leave this disease creep- ing undisturbedfor fear of surg- ery by a doctor or because of apathy will mean we have no right to live as free people.”

He apparently was referring to corruption, which rebel leaders assert is rife in the central gov- ernment, as well as_ communism.

NEW YORK ’AP)'—The East-‘ ern and Southern United States staggered Sunday under a swirl- ing snowstorm, with winds piling up huge drifts to climax the worst weekend of the winter.

The storm began Friday off the Louisiana coast and hit north- ward through-the middle Atlantic states into New England.

Leaving in its wake a white blanket as far south as Jackson, Miss., the snow gathered mo- mentum and dropped up to 20 inches, accompanied by wind gusts up ‘ 60 miles an hour. Drifts were up to 10 feet.

Sub-freezing Lemperatures ad- ded more woe.

The big -blow blocked high- ways and stranded motorists. Church s e r v i c e s and Sunday school sessions were cancelled.

At least seven deaths were at- tributed to the weather, most re- sulting from traffic accidents.

Although the snow slackened in southern states, heavy falls were predicted fir Pennsylvania, New -York and New England, all of ,which received some snow during the night.

TRAFFIC STALLED

The snow measured up to 17 inches in suburban sectors of Washington, D.C. The big four- lane U.S. Highway 50 was a scene of abandoned cars, trucks and buses. Motorists trudged home or found shelter for the night in private dwellings.

In the capital Chief Justice Earl Warren was one of those who had to hoof it. Warren’s' car got stuck Saturday night as he and his family were returning

The biting cold didii’t slow Mr. Diefenbaker’s electioneeri-ng in his home constituency of Prince Albert which includes this town.

TOURS AT 35 BELOW

Saturday morning he toured the business district of his Prince Albert hometown in 35-below-zero weather, shaking hands and pop- ping in and ‘out of shops to have a word with old friends.

In the afternoon, with the tem- perature a sunny 10 below, he motored 70 miles east to Choice- land, population 500.

There he spoke to 350 persops‘, mostly farmers, crowded into a small movie theatre, and once again charged Liberal and CCF foes with misrepresenting his government’s new farm price supports legislation. ’

“I have no fear that once the farmers know what the act does, those who have been fighting it and ridiculing it will be left home at the election.”

Then he drove another 20 mlles east to this town of 2,500 where about 500 turned out at the Cana- dian Legion hall with the ther-
