The dinner party the Kennedys staged in their honor brought together many old friends and former officials of the Truman administration and stirred many memories. Among the guests were former state secretary Dean Acheson and Harry Vaughan, who was Truman's military aide. HEES Ottawa, The Trumans broke the usual rigidity of the receiving line in the blue room by kissing and hugging old friends. When Truman and his wife drove up in late afternoon to begin their visit they were met by the Kennedys and applauded by some 50 employees who had worked under Truman and still hold White House administrative posts.

Truman seemed so much at home that he took Kennedy's arm and guided him inside. WHO LAUGHS through in a leaped to her from 12 city opening of curling rink. page 15.) Urban Renewal Sparks Uproar By Roger Appleton Citizen Staff Writer The entire Board of Control walked out on Mayor Charlotte Whitton today as an urban renewal debate exploded in the noisiest, bitterest, loudest series of charges and personal attacks in' the history of tho present city administration. Maj'or Whitton called on Con. Paul Tardif to repeat his remarks publicly or be "forever branded a malicious coward." Con.

Tardif warned the Mayor not to try to intimidate him. He said she had tried it before and should know it would not work. Con. Lloyd Francis accused the mayor of "character assassination, slander, and vicious asides." Con. Don Reid charged the whole group with playing petty politics to the detriment of the city's business, and led the walkout.

Tardif remained to take part in a fierce, though brief, face to face exchange with the mayor, then left too, leaving her alone. Con. Wil-bert Hamilton had not attended this meeting. The flare up stemmed from an aside comment made by Mayor Whitton to Con. Francis.

The comment was not audible to reporters, but, after the Board had left. Mayor Whitton said she had told Con. Francis he was taking a stand in Board of Control he had not the courage to take in a Housing Standards Board meeting. The expropriation of a row of condemned housing at 390-402 Nepean St. was under discussion.

Deaths In Storm Top 100 LONDON (Reuters) Queen Elizabeth sent a message of sympathy to the government and people of hurricane stricken British Honduras today expressing her sorrow at their heavy losses.

BELIZE, British Honduras (AP) Rescue workers counted more than 100 dead and thousands homeless today in shattered Central American coastal towns ravaged by hurricane Hattie. The death toll was expected to rise higher. Waves And Winds Officials were unable to estimate the number of injured by the hurricane that roared across this British colonial capital early Tuesday with tidal waves and winds up to 200 miles an hour. Hattie destroyed or damaged an estimated 75 per cent of the buildings in Belize, a sea-level port of 31,000 which had little or no seawall protection. The death list included 40 at Belize; 25 at Stann Creek, the British colony's second biggest town; 20 on Turneffe Cay, and 14 on Caulker Cay, islands off the British Honduras coast.

The Guatemalan government reported five killed in the jungle province of Peten which borders British Honduras. Another death was reported. on Honduras' northern coast. Rattle Breaks Up The hurricane broke apart against the mountains of British Honduras and water began to recede from Belize Tuesday afternoon. With the recession came the first flurries of relief supplies and first accounts of the violent storm which finally slammed ashore after following a meandering course across the Caribbean.

Governor Sir Colin Thornley declared a state of emergency and placed the colony under martial law. Police broke up mobs looting stores and arrested 20 persons. In the vanguard of the looters were some of the 200 prisoners released from the city jail as the hurricane approached. The towering seas that broke over the city destroyed the prison. Twenty foot waves rolled through the ground floor of Government House, the governor's residence and official headquarters, and washed away all records.

The visiting Trumans Bess, Harry and daughter Margaret got an unusual treat for a Freer Trading U.S. Aim WASHINGTON (AP) A drive for re-enactment and broadening of the reciprocal trade program one of the toughest tasks facing President Kennedy's legisla lieutenants has been launched with the help of officials from three administrations. 'Giant Step' Urged Recommendations for "a giant step" away from remaining restrictions on international trade and a trade partnership with the Common Market, the potent new economic entity in Europe, came from Christian Herter, state secretary in the Eisenhower administration, and from William Clayton, undersecretary of state for economic affairs in the Truman administration.

The Kennedy administration spoke in much the same terms through George W. Ball, undersecretary of state for economic affairs. Ball in a speech Wednesday night before a trade convention in New York, called for "open competitive trading" and assailed what he termed the defeatism of those who unduly feared competition with the Common Market. Seek Protection The Reciprocal Trade Act comes up for renewal next year with sentiment for protecting U.S. industries against foreign competition apparently stronger than at most times during the last several decades.

Ball said the president should have authority to make "much broader and more ambitious bargains on behalf of United States industry" and that there must be a basis for an open trading world extending beyond the Common Market.

Francis said there was a protection, and you know it, but ave ttle to delay expropriation until tha city's official urban renewal plan has been approved by the minister of municipal affairs.

Tha controllers said if the mayor's plan was adopted, the city would lose all the grants up to 75 per cent of the cost it could get under an approved urban renewal scheme. The three controllers were unanimous in this view, and expropriation will be delayed. It was the third or fourth time they have blocked the mayor in her attempt to have the dwellings expropriated at once. Mayor Whitton said unless her way was followed, secrets of the Housing Standards Board would come into the open through court action. She said it would be necessary to lay charges to get the people out, and city officials could be called as witnesses and forced to answer questions.

The Board was out for three and one half minutes. Tempers calmed, they returned and debate continued in somewhat mora restrained manner.

Blame Govt. Blasting For Damage Government blasting to build Garden of the Provinces Park, not blasting for the city's Interceptor sewer, may have damaged two big Ottawa churches. Board of Control was told today NCC dynamiting to clean up the face of shale cliff near St. Peter's Lutheran Church nad Christ Church Cathedral might be responsible. Officials say St.

Peter's is badly wrecked by blasts, though the situation at the Cathedral does not appear as serious. The Park is bounded by Sparks, Wellington and Bay Streets. Two private engineering firms, representing the city and Spino Construction feel sewer blasting was carried out properly, and had no effect on the churches. DeLeuw, Catier and Co. and Racey, MacCallum and Associates believe dynamiting for Garden of the Provinces Park was more likely responsible.

The regulations are the nub of the matter.

Just Ovfr 10,000 The defence department today disclosed that up to Wednesday night, 10,428 men had enlisted for the six-weeks course which begins Monday. Altogether, the government hopes to enroll 100,000 men to be trained in four courses spread over the winter months. With only a few days left, little hope remains of coming even close to the objective, although officials believe that by the beginning of next week, a few thousand more will have come in.

The recruiting breakdown: Western Command, Central Command, Quebec Command, Eastern Command, 2,101. Not Downcast A department spokesman says "we are not downcast by these He believed the program might take some time to gather momentum, and that recruiting for subsequent courses probably would improve as a result of quickened public interest. It is also expected that seasonal unemployment during the winter will boost recruiting. Although the government has never admitted as much, the timing of the courses to co-incide with the period of heaviest unemployment is believed to have been deliberate. The relatively good performance of Quebec, second only to Central Command in recruiting, has not gone unnoticed.

Although there is no direct parallel with the explosive issue of conscription, the figures indicate that touchy French-Canada supports at least this limited form of service. As PM By Norman Campbell Citizen Staff Writer Prime Minister Diefenbaker fenced with Press Gallery men for 45 minutes today at their request. The session was in Mr. Diefen-baker's East Block office, the occasion being only the fourth or fifth arranged press conference he has had since he became prime minister in 1957.

"I will have no more of this malicious, vicious character assassination," he said. Then Con. Tardif said the mayor had made similar comments in Toronto last week while the Board was on a building inspection tour. The mayor challenged him to name the specific time and place. Con.

Reid moved a sudden adjournment and strode from the room, Con. Francis inches behind him. The mayor and Con. Tardif continued their battle. Mayor Whitton said she would call for a Bible to swear she told the truth.

The prime minister professed not to be worried much by the Quebec separatist movement. There have been separatist movements in Canada (not all Quebec) since 1840. They rise and go periodically.
