Europe flalks Many experts believe the report will present the pros and cons of marketing western ml Montreal, but will refrain from making recom-mendations on the ground that any dehmt move must be a matter of government policy, That would leave it in the lap of the cabinet. Tne reason for this would be th cost factor, both of building the pipeline, and of tht oil itself, since Alberta oil costs more to pro- duce than the South American or Middle Eastern products. Western Canada's nil industry, running well below capacity, would be materially assist-ted if the Montreal market were opened to it Cost of a pipeline to serve this market has been estimated at $373-million.

The presidential jet plane, a Boeing 707, landed at nearby Wahn Airport at 6:26 p.m. (10:26 a.m. MST) after a flight of 91, hours from Washington. This elapsed time included an hour spent in a Newfoundland stop for refuelling. The plane taxied toward a welcoming party of leading German government officials headed by Chancellor Komad Adenauer.

The sky was slightly overcast. The landing snip lights were switched on just before the jet approached. KM CROWD A crowd of 1.500 to 2.0(10 spectators waited in reserved places and others were scattered around the terraces. As the plane halted, a 21-gun salute sounded. Four escorting fighters of the German Air Force flew low overhead.

There was a burst of applause as the president, wearing a dark blue suit and dark green hat, appeared. A German band played the Star Spangled Banner, then the German anthem. Eisenhower and his state secretary, Christian llerter, who flew fu-nm Washintfton wirfl him. exchanged handshakes with Adenauer and the West German Se rse i IKE Canada 'Shocks' The U.S. TORONTO (CP) Henry Kearns, assistant United States commerce secretary, said Tuesday the U.S.

is shocked by some implications of Canadian criticism of the huge American investment in this country. He suggested also that Cana dians would be well advised to think in terms of trade expansion and not restrictions in grappling with the problems of increasing foreign trade competition. U. S. experience with protectionism had shown that protec tionism exacted too high a price" in economic deterioration, Mr.

Kearns said in a speech before the Toronto board of trade. "Truly, protectionism has priced itself out of the market and expanding trade barriers is not the answer to any question confronting either the U. S. or Canada." S. SHOCKED The statements were included in the text of his address issued to the press before delivery.

Turning to criticism of U. S. investments, Mr. Kearns said he recently read a Financial Post article entitled "can we survive. U.

S. investment?" which, while undoubtedly written as a result of genuine concern, seemed predicated on the assumption that U. S. private investment was a tool of political or economic imperialism. "It must be reported to you that such a contention comes as a shock below the border where we have been, perhaps naively rather proud of the advisability of U.S.

capital to foreign countries. "We have made much of the importance of the capital flow to Canada and of its role facilitating Canada's phenomenal expansion in the post-war period. We find there seems to be no lack of agreement in Canada that there will be for some time a need for foreign capital. Thus, It is a surprise to find ttiat there are some people here who question the availability of capital from the United States." MORE INCOMING U. investors had put more into Canada than they had taken out.

In the 1953-58 period the U.S. net capita flow into Canada, including reinvested earnings, totalled $4,226,000,000. This was more than double me U.826.000,-000 taken out of Canada by U. S. investors in that period.

Canadian income tax revenue on American investments amounted to some $150,000,000 a year. these investments, Canadians were able to build up industries to boost exports. Hinted PM May Be Preparing New Move By CHARLES LYNCH ITha Herjld't Ottawa Bureau! Copyright Southim Company Ltd. I OTTAWA The breach between the government and the nation's chartered bi nks over the credit squeeze widened last night with the return of Prime Minister Diefenbaker from his Western tour. It was hinted that the prime minister might be preparing some new move to put pressure on the banks to end the virtual freeze on loans imposed nine days ago.

Mr. Diefenbaker would not specify what action he might take. He reminded reporters who met him at the airport of his statement that "the government looks to the chartered banks to act in such a way as to meet the essential leeds of small borrowers." This reporter told him that a check of Ottawa banks Tuesday showed they were continuing to turn down virtually all loan applications. Would-be borrowers who quoted the prime minister's to one Ottawa banker were asked: "Who are you trying to borrow money from me or Mr. Diefenbaker?" The prime minisier shook his head.

"You know and I know that loans are not being given," he said. "I will be interested to see what happens next in that regard. If there is change, what may follow Is another thing. I won't go into that just now." Pressed to be more specific, he refused to comment further, except to re-neat his earlier statement that "no one alleges that this is a tight-money situation." Mr. Diefenbaker read to reporters extracts from his Monday speech at Kitimat, B.C., in See rt CR EDIT Back Wage Payments Ordered Two out-of-business city firms were ordered to pay a total of $795.46 in wages and holiday pay to 11 former employees magistrate's court Tuesday.

Robert Bailey, traffic sutxsriiv tPtKlent, said the success of mall pro.jpcts in Kalamazoo, Mich. and Toledo, Ohio, and proposals for.

a similar scheme in Ottawa has sparked new interest in shopping mall developments. Mavor George Nelms of Ot tawa is to lead an Ottawa group on an inspection tour of a shopping mall project in Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Bally suggested that Calgary should send a delegate to Toledo for a fin hand look. Proposals for a Calgary shopping mall were first broached several years ago.

A number of ciry officials including Mayor P. H. Mackay supported the idea V'hich has always run into opposition from the Downtown As-Bnriation, KEEPS CO-OPERATION Mr. Bailey said he would favor a shopping mall if the businessmen got behind the project. "I can certainly pee the advantage of a mall if it will attract a sufficient number of people," he said, "but the plan needs the cooperation of business firms." D.

V. Hicks, manager of the Downtown Business Association, aaid "we have not changed ourj thinking at all." He said arguments again a mail were: Sth Ave. was recommended a two-way street in last year's traffic survey. Sth Ave. now carries 300 transit buses each way during a week day.

Some 10,000 cars use the avenue each day. Climatic conditions in Cal-gai-y do not favor leisurely shopping along a mall decorated with flowers, fountains and garden benches during a short summer (season. Winter conditions demand convenient parking. Cars can now drop passen-pers near places of business, entertainment or shops. In the meantime Ottawa busi nessmen planning to visit Toledo will see a pool of penguins, playgrounds for children and statuary from the city's museum of art.

Alderman Clarence Mack, Chairman of the traffic committee, said in principle he favors a shopping mall experiment but any specific proposals would need carefuly strjdy. There is considerable merit in the mall Idea factors such as the area to be covered, distance fmm parking pose problems which wake snap Judgments impossible, .1 1 hearings in the history of Canadian criminal law. Cook, 22, is charged with the murder of his father, Ray Cook, 51, one of seven persons found dead a grease pit at the rear of the Cook home on June 2S. Also dead wete the accused's step-mother, three half-brothers and two half-sisters. The hearing opened here Mon New Town Set For Province A new Alberta toun, with a population of around will spring up shortly, near the Swan Hills oil field, about 120 miles northwest of tdmonton, The Herald has learned.

A provincial government announcement, giving details of the new community, is expected this week. Birth of the town is a direct result of the recently-discovered prolific Swan Hills oil field. It is understood the Alberta Department of Education has established a school district Oil Hills School District No. 5109 in the area, and at least temporary school facilities will be provided this fall. A school and a good road into the Swan Hills area are the prime requisites for the new community.

If these are provided this fall, the site will be a "trailer town" until homes are constructed. An order-in-council has been passed to provide $2,000,000 for a road to replace the existing rough forestry road from Fort Assiniboine to Swan Hills. Fort Assiniboine, about 45 miles away, is the nearest community, and the oil companies and service and supply companies operating at Swan Hills are anxious to establish a centre closer to the field. Home Oil Company one of the major operators in the field has between 20 and 30 families living in trailers now. Mast of the men work for 10 days and then have four days off.

Of the four days, the better part of two days are spent travelling out and back into the field (usually by aircraft). Kxact location of the new town us not yet known, but it is expected to be six or 10 miles south of the field. In this ease the town would also accommodate workers in the growing Judy Creek and Virginia Hills oil discovery areas. Unlike Devon, an "oil town" built by the Alberta government, the Swan Hills' town is expected to be build by private enterprise. It is reported several contractors have shown interest in the construction of a town.

The ground survey has been completed, and plans for the town are now being formulated. A board of administrators has been set up under the New Towns Act. A growing lumber and toitr-tst industry is also expected to add to the eiae ef-th new town. day before Magistrate G. W.

2 Cities Convert Into 'Paradise' For All Shoppers By MERV ANDERSON IHerald Staff Writer More and more U.S. cities are view ing the shopping mall as the magnet that will pull shoppers downtown. Two centres that have advanced beyond the plan ning stage and actually have malls in operation are Kalamazoo, and Toledo, Ohio. In Kalamazoo, merchants and the city split the $63,000 cost of transforming two blocks of a main street into a landscaped gardei with, fountains and with benches for pedestrians.
