FOtTSTEEIf MEBFOBD (OBECON) MAIL TRIBTJNK Thursday. July 2S- 1937 All Not Picture of Sweetness and Light Between Canada, United States Ottawa IP Canada is not exactly bursting with affection and admiration for the United ; States these days and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles may be on the receiving end of some very plain talk when he comes here Sunday. Dulles will meet with new Premier John Diefenbaker and while all should be sweetness and light on the surfacev no one will be unaware that Diefen baker upset the 22-year regime of the Liberals with a campaign based largely on the theme, "Canada for the Canadians." American diplomats have been tumbling over themselves to ex tend the hand of friendship to the new Conservative government and Dulles' trip reflects the anxi ety over the course it may take. Out of the meeting may come an invitation to Diefenbaker to visit President Eisenhower. The two nations have lived in such harmony through the years that there has been a tendency on the American side to overlook mounting irritations which have ' produced something approaching downright dislike of the "good neighbor" to the south. The Objections The things that Canada objects to are largely in the economic field. Here are some of them: United States firms now con trol 50 per cent of Canadian manufacturing investment. It is estimated that the United States will put up one quarter of this year's $8,500,000,000 capital spending program. There is a definite feeling among Canadians that Ameri cans are getting too much ad vantage out of this country's boom. Canada does not want to halt American investment, but it is insisting that American industri alists should treat their Canadian branches as Canadian industries publishing separate reports of their earnings, encouraging Ca nadians to become stockholders and giving Canadians senior ex ecutive posts. A law passed many years ago as an incentive to American in vestment provides that the tax on dividends paid to U. S. share holders by firms 95 per cent or more owned by Americans is 5 per cent, but 15 per cent on Three Jurors in Case Of Dr. Sheppard See Lie Test as Helpful firms less than 95 per cent Amer ican-owned. Farm Problems American farm surpluses, par ticularly wheat, have made it Cleveland (in Three of twelve jurors whose Judgment brought conviction and a life prison sentence to Dr. Sam Shep pard indicated today a lie de- Economist Voices Hope For Halt in Living Cost Spiral Washington W A top government economist held out hope today that the cost of liv ing will stop climbing next month for the first time in near ly a year. Ewan Clague, commissioner of labor statistics, voiced the hope following his announce ment that consumer prices for June had gone up Vt of 1 per cent to hit another all-time high 120.2 per cent of average 1947-49 prices. Clague predicted prices would rise slightly in July to stay on the elevator which has carried them up nearly 5. per cent since March of last year. He also said chances are good prices will decline in August and September. But he said he expects another rise in October and then a levelling-off pos sibly a decline in November and December. Clague reasoned: Higher food prices accounted for most of the increase in June and probably will do the same in July. But in August, local crops of fruits and vegetables coming to market are expected to re duce food costs, which amount to nearly 30 per cent of the aver age family's budget. Summer sales of clothes and furniture at lower prices also should help drop living costs across the nation. Dealer dis counts on unsold 1957 cars probably will get larger as the year runs out. But Clague warned that pro longed drought in the East might drive up some food prices and upset his predictions. Who Wears the Pants In the British Army London 101 The big problem in the British army today is over who weari the pants. War Minister John Har said "ih most difficult mar riages" in the proposed amal gamation of army units "was between a regiment which wore - kilts and a regiment which wore thews (trousers). He said the units will be left to fight out the uniform of the day "unless there is no reconciliation."

Seven Befuse Discussion Of the seven men and five women who sat through the gruelling nine-week trial at Cuyahoga county's lake side courthouse in 1954, seven re tusea to discuss the current or past developments of the case Two others since have left Cleveland. The ten jurors were asked: Do you believe Sam Shep pard should be given a lie de tector test? Do you believe, on the basis of recent developments, that the Sheppard case should be re opened? "I don't know the legal value of a lie detector test." explain ed juror No. 8, Mrs. Beatrice P. Orenstein, 39. "I feel that if new evidence comes up, I'll be glad for his (Sheppard's) sake. I don't mean to imply that I think there is any new evidence. I have no doubt we did our jobs fairly. If something does come out it should be investigated. But I have a lot of confidence in Cuya hoga County Coroner Samuel Gerber. And if I can't trust him as a public official I don't know who else 1 could believe." Mistake Doubted Jack Hansen, 39, juror No. 6, said: "We may have made a mis take, but I don't think so. Of course, I'm interested in any de velopments in the case, and I feel any good clues should be in vestigated." Hansen said he was "certainly glad the higher courts upheld our verdict," adding "I still think he was guilty on the evidence presented us." Pilot of 'Hustler' Calls Speedy Trip 'Simply Routine' Dayton, Ohio W A Con vair test pilot has termed his one hour 17 minutes flight from Fort Worth, Tex., to Wright Patterson Air Force Base as simply "routine." B. A. Erickson, the pilot, made the statement Wednesday as he stepped from the B58 Hustler, the Air Force's newest faster than sound jet bomber. The needle-nosed bomber's speed was not officially an nounced but Erickson was per mitted to say he flew "faster than the speed of sound." The speed of sound is 760 miles per hour at sea level. "It was just a routine filght, Erickson said, after bringing the plane here for takeoff tests. An Air Force spokesman first said the four-jet plane averaged 9S0 miles an hour, but officials later denied this and refused to name a figure. Commercial airline distance between Fort Worth and Dayton is 989 miles. Figuring the plane was in the air for 87 minutes, it had to maintain a speed of 11 miles a minute or 696 miles an hour. The B58 is designed to oper ate at speeds of 1,200 to 1,500 miles an hour at an altiutde of 58,000 feet. Federal School Bill Supporters Give Up Washington OP) House supporters of the federal school construction bill all but tossed in the towel today. A few House Republicans sought to get to President Ei senhower to tell him that only a strong last minute plea by him could save the $1,500,000,000 compromise measure. But White House Press Sec retary James C. Hagerty said he knew of no plans by Eisen hower to issue such a special ap peal before the vote on the bill expected by tonight. This year's bill would autho rize the federal government to spend S300 million annually for four years to help states build needed schools. VJEISFIELD SM0IB 330333 end '" .''

Diefen baker recently said Canada could not compete In "give aways" and while American gifts of farm products to needy nations could not be criticized, the United States was violating international agreements when it asked pledges that recipient countries repay the gift with purchases of American goods. Canadian fishermen, on the East Coast are hot about a legal situation which permits Ameri can vessels to approach the three mile international limit while Canadian regulations keep them 12 miles offshore. Diefenbaker has pledged to take steps to keep the Americans 12 miles out, too. In military defense, ' the two McLEOD Chandlers Have Visitors By CAROLINE L.

Indonesia has an estimated population of 85 million. nations have had an outstandingginning to become more jealous record. But even there are bugs, too. Defense Bugs The permanent Joint Board on Defense, established in 1940 and effective throughout World War II, still meets regularly. Its big gest recent task has been build ing three lines or aircraft detec tion, Pinetree, Mid-Canada and Distant Early Warning (DEW). Canada and the United States built Pinetree jointly and it is operated mainly by Canadians. Canada built the Mid-Canada Line alone. The United States has been paying the cost of DEW. Presence of American troops manning these stations in North ern Canada has been an annoy ance to Canadians who are be- of their independence than when they first won it in 1867. Some of the sites of the DEW Line are new and complete com munities but are shown on no published maps of Canada. In some there are no resident Ca nadians. All fly the Stars and Stripes, some show the Canadian red ensign or the Union Jack alongside but others fly nothing but the American flag. It is a sore point. Those are some of the specific, irritants. Underlying is the same tinge of hostility the United States has encountered in virtu ally all of its other friends and allies since it emerged as such an overpowering economic and military colossus.
