"May 141s Offered - For Summit Talks

By VINCENT BUIST MOSCOW (Reuters) The United States, Britain and France Tuesday formally asked Russia to accept May 16 as the date for

talks in Paris.

Ambassadors of the _ three Western powers handed over per- sonal letters from President Fis- enhower, Prime Minister Macmil- lan and President de Gaulle.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko received the letters. He promised to give them immedi- ately to Premier hev.

Observers here said the Soviet leader is likely to accept the pro-

posed date.

NEEDN’T CONFLICT

Although there are standing in- vitations for, Khrushchev to visit several countries of Africa and the Middle East, no firm dates for May have yet been published and it appeared unlikely that these visits would stand in the way of summit talks.

The slim silver-haired parlia- mentarian was chosen as the woman most in the public eye in a Canadian Press poll of women’s editors of Canadian daily news- papers.

Mrs. Fairclough, 54, became Canada’s first woman cabinet minister when she was named secretary of state in June, 1957. Less than a year later she was handed the tough immigration and citizenship portfolio.

During the last session of Par- liament Mrs. Fairclough said the immigration act is being reviewed and some government immigra- tion policies may be revised in 1960.

The Halifax weather office is- sued a heavy snowfall warning to all Nova Scotia, Prince Ed- ward Island and southern New Brunswick as ‘the storm centre moved northeast from a point about 150 miles south of Yar- mouth, N.S.

The committee, composed of scientists from the health depart- ment and the atomic energy con- trol board, called on owners of Rolex GMT-Mas wrist watches to mail their timepieces by regis- tered mail to Rolex-Watch Com- pany of Canada, Victory Build- ing, Toronto, for testing.

timepieces owned by Canadians.

“Tests carried out by the de- partment of national health and welfare and the University of Toronto showed that two or three | of these watches contained radio- | active strontium in_ sufficient} quantities to be a possible long- term health hazard to wearers,” the committee said Tuesday im a statement.

“It is now estimated that up- wards of 150 of these watches have been reported by the Rolex Watch Company of Canada, or purchased by Canadians during trips abroad. Not all of these watches contain radioactive strontium but it will- be neces- sary to test each watch to see whether this is the case or not.”
