Whip Raps Warheads Pact By J. R. WALKER together to work out the four technical agreements which will govern the specific storing and handling of the warheads for the 56 Bomarcs, which will be based at North Bay, and La Macaza, for the Genie missiles used domesticbased Voodo interceptors, and for the Honest John rockets in Europe and the nuclear bombs on the CF-104s in NATO. Prime Minister Pearson said Friday this would take a few weeks. He could not say how long it would be before the various weapons systems were armed with their nuclear warheads.

The prime minister indicated pretty clearly that the Canadian nuclear agreement, like those of the U.S. with other NATO allies, left these American weapons in American custody, with Canada having joint control I over their use. NO PROLIFERATION Thus, he would argue, the proliferation of independent nuclear weapons or their manufacwas prevented, and "the number of governments having nuclear weapons at their independent disposal" had not been increased. He told the press that if any new weapons system were required, it would mean signing a new agreement, but that if the government, after its present "in depth" review of defence policy, decided to abandon nuclear weapons, the bilateral agreement could be abrogated by sending Washington another note calling it quits. The prime minister said "that an acceptable arrangement" had been worked out with France by which the Canadian CF-104 bases in that country could operate, despite the French ban on storage of any U.S.

nuclear weapons. He admitted it wasn't perfect, but was an effective arrangement. Southam News Services OTTAWA The Pearson government will likely face a non confidence motion on its bilateral nuclear agreement when Parliament meets next fall. Predictably, New Democrat Whip Stanley Knowles, Winnipeg North Centre, said he expected his party would move a motion regretting that the agreement, signed Friday morning, had not been brought before Parliament, "in view of the changed circumstances." He said the vote of confidence which the Liberal government won on May 21 to proceed with its intention of acquiring nuclear warheads, was won on too narrow a vote to provide the moral authority for acceptance now and especially so in view of the recently approved nuclear test ban treaty. However, Mr.

Knowles, speaking as he hoped the NDP would speak, had some difficulty making up his mind whether the agreement really did add to the dissemination of nuclear weapons or whether it showed the "Americans have taken over." Said Mr. Knowles: "Either (the nuclear arms) are ours, in which case the non-dissemination is set aside, or they are not, in which case the U.S. has taken over a major aspect of our defence." AMERICAN IN BITS Asked which he felt had happened, Mr. Knowles said he believed it was the latter. "Little bits of Canadian soil will become American soil," he argued, referring to the U.S.

custodial teams which, under the agreement, will keep custody of the nuclear devices on Canadian bases here and abroad. One thing was clear, Mr. Knowles was prepared to see the government fall on this issue "If it doesn't face first on the $10 increase in the pension that it hasn't granted." TECHNICAL PACTS With the agreement signed, it remained for the military exEX-STRONGMAN IN HAPPIER DAYS perts of both countries to get said worth $700 million U.S. Sends Perez Back To Venezuela MIAMI, Fla.

"We took the stand that no agreement would be entered into which did not fully protect Canadian sovereignty or give Canada control, and until I know the terms of the agreement, it is impossible for me to comment," Mr. Diefenbaker said.

"We insisted at all times that Canadian sovereignty should be protected and very much doubt, even on the basis of the general reference to the terms of the contract in the press, that Canada's sovereignty has been ity cell at Venezuela's main' prison near Caracas, where Perez Jimenez once sent his foes. He will wait there until the Venezuelan Supreme Court brings him to trial on charges that he embezzled his way to a huge personal fortune while in office. Venezuelan President Romulo Betancourt set the minimum amount of the alleged embezzlement at $13,000,000. A recent court suit here said Perez Jimenez was worth at least 000,000. Perez Jimenez' oldest daughter, Margott, 17, failed in a lastminute attempt to see her father leave the U.S.

Margott and her husband, Lee Brook, 20, of Miami, ran from a limousine across the airport ramp, but the four -engine airliner had already begun taxiing toward the takeoff strip. At Perez Jimenez' mansion in Miami Beach, the dictator's wife, Flor, was given sedation and ordered to bed. Mrs. Perez Jimenez, their four daughters and Margott's husband have obtained visas and announced intentions of returning to Venezuela. Perez Jimenez became the first former chief of state to be extradited from the U.S.

The United States' claim (disputed by the Europeans) is that the potential loss in trade is $46 million. But since 1958 American farm exports to the Common Market have risen from $800 million to $1,200 million. The restrictions on chicken affect only a 10th of that increase of $400 million. They are dramatic only as a test case. Tests Trade Act Economically, they are a test of how Common Market policy is going to affect American farm exports as a whole.

Politically, they test of the chances success of the Trade Expansion Act and of the concept of partnership on which it is based-a test, in whole future with the common market. It is this that really matters. Some of America's farm ex- ports, and notably cotton and oilseeds, are not threatened at all. The trouble arises mainly over grains and poultry, about a third of the total. It is doubtful whether America could expect in any case to maintain major sales to Europe in these commodities.

Like America, Europe is beginning to have surpluses. As in America, these result from policies aimed at keeping up the income of the farmer which is falling further and further behind the townsman's. As in America, the policies are based ultimately on the electoral pressures that farmers exert on legislators. Pressures Greater But there are relatively three times more people on the land in the Common Market than in the United States -and so the electoral pressures there are all the greater. Worse, peasant rioting has become common in France and sporadic even in Germany and Belgium.

Triple Funeral Held For Crash Victims Three of six persons killed in an auto crash Aug. 11, were buried at Edmonton this week. Funeral services from the Third Christian Reformed Church were for Andrew Wierenga, 26, his wife Caroline, 28, sister Gladys, 23. died in a two car collision at Vega, 70 miles northwest of Edmonton, which also claimed three other lives.

Exploring Fleeing Cubans' Protection WASHINGTON (AP) State Secretary Dean Rusk says the United States is discussing with Britain how to protect refugees fleeing Cuba. Rusk was asked at a press conference Friday about Cuba's kidnapping of 19 refugees who had reached an island in the British Bahamas. U.S. warcraft watched the recapture of the refugees by Cuban forces on Anguilla Cay, but did not intervene. A state department spokesman explained later that this was because the incident took place on British territory.

J.P. Youth Arrested After Chase A 17-year-old Jasper Place youth was arrested and charged with criminal negligence early today, after an 80 m.p.h. chase and a subsequent accident. Police said the youth was the driver of a car chased by Jasper Place police before going out of control and crashing at the intersection of 91st Ave. and Valleyview Drive at 1:15 a.m.

The car, a 1955 model, was wrecked. It climbed drive the on Valleyview slammed into grove of trees. Its driver suffered minor face injuries. The chase began when the youth eluded Jasper Place police who tried to check his car at 90th Ave. and 153 St.

The car ran through several stop signs and for some distance its lights were turned off. Some 700 members of the Dutch-Canadian community attended the triple funeral. Burial was at Westlawn Memorial Cemetery. A member of the first Christian Reformed Church of Edmonton, Mr. Wierenga was born Randolph, Wisconsin, and came to Alberta with his parents in 1949.

He graduated from Victoria Composite High School in 1955 and then went on to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. Returning to Edmonton, he received a law degree from the University of Alberta in 1962. In May of the following year he was admitted to the Bar. Mr. Wierenga was vice-president of the Christian Action Foundation of Western Canada, holding the same, position with the board Edmonton Christian Reformed Savings and Credit Union and serving as secretary of the Association for Reformed Scientific Studies.

In 1960 he married the former Caroline Steenstra of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mrs. Wierenga and her sister-in-law, also held Bachelor of Arts degrees from Calvin College in Michigan. Both had taught at the Calvin Christian School in Edmonton. TWO-YEAR-OLD SON Mr.

and Mrs. Wierenga are survived by their two-year-old son, Mark Andrew and by Mrs. Wierenga's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

They are, in fact, leaving the land fast. But it will be a generation before enough depart. And as the surpluses grow, the pressure from farmers to buy European makes it increasingly difficult to maintain high imports. In essence, the protectionism of common market farm policy is an amplified echo of the American farm problem. Hold Down Prices Last year, leaders on both sides of the Atlantic were reaching the conclusion that the best practical hope was to slow down the increase in Common Market output by holding down prices as much AS possible, out joint American European approaches for the disposal of joint surpluses to the underfed parts of the world.

This assumed goodwill and courage by all the governments concerned. Unhappily, this goodwill can no longer be taken for granted since General de NE FERHART ABBAS criticized regime Algerian Official Banished ALGIERS (AP)-Ferhat Abbas, considered one of the most influential and moderate politicians in trouble-ridden Algeria, was banished from the ruling Front of National Liberation Friday. His ouster for criticizing the regime in power, was announced as informed sources reported that security forces had rounded up scores of opponents of Premier Ahmed Ben Bella during the night. There were also reports of clashes between troops and guerrillas in eastern Algeria. Among those reported arrested were a number of Algerians active in the Federation de France, the French branch of the National Liberation Front.

The federation has been hostile to Ben Bella. A Moslem crowd shot and killed a man identified as a German industrialist Thursday while his French fiancee watched helplessly.

The main reason for U.S. retaliation now against the Common Market's chicken barriers is the fear that farm policy may be ed deliberately a exploited to harm AmericanEuropean relations. General de Gaulle said recently there could be no Common Market without selfsufficiency in food. His statements are seen as an ultimatum to France's Common Market partners to settle their common farm policy this winter to suit the general on all commodities (and not just poultry). Unfortunately, the one Common Market country able to resist him, West Germany, happens to be the one with the most inefficient farmers.

Hence the risk that German farm protectionism will combine with General de Gaulle's anti-American outlook to wreck the trade expansion talks with America and other countries starting in Geneva on May 4, 1964. The Trade Expansion Act, was launched by President Kennedy as the first step to a partnership between the United States and a uniting. Europe. If it failed, General de Gaulle might be in sight of creating a Europe divorced from America. The hopes of western unity born of the Common Market could come crashing down.

Risks Involved Thus, it is vital to show the Germans, who want Western unity, the risks they would run if they played General de Gaulle's game in agriculture. This was at least one major motive in the American retaliation on chickens. It needs to be followed up by constant pressure on the Germans in the months to come when European farm policy and the trade expansion talks both hang in the balance. The Germans hold the key to the underground struggle between Presidents Kennedy and de Gaulle for the soul of the West. U.S.

Definition Of 'Canadian' Protested By B.C. Writer VANCOUVER (CP) When is a Canadian not a Canadian? When he is born in Canada of Chinese parents according to the U.S. Immigration Service, and this is what Vancouver writer Wayson Choy found when he tried to immigrate so he could work in New York. Choy's parents are Chinese, therefore he is classed as Chinese and ineligible to enter the U.S. because the quota for Asians is full.

But Choy, 24, a University of British Columbia graduate, says he should be treated as any other Canadian. APPEAL TO PEARSON "I intend to ask Prime Minister Pearson to urge the U.S. government to stop this discrimination," Choy said. Ron Basford, Liberal member of Parliament for Vancouver Burrard, has offered to help Choy see the prime minister when he arrives in Ottawa Monday. Louis L.
