Labor protests
jail conditions

PRINCE RUPERT — Fol-
lowing riots in this city last
Sunday which are generally
attributed to discriminatory
regulations which — prohibit
Native Indians from buying
liquor to drink in their own
homes, Kitimat-Kemano La-
bor Council has protested to
Justice Minister Davie Fulton
against conditions under which
those arrested were held in
Prince Rupert jail.

The council charged that
six of those arrested were
held for three days in a two-
man cell “with little or no
toilet facilities and a concrete
floor for a bed” and that
others, “arrested indiscrimi-
nately,’ were unable to com-
municate~ with their families
or legal counsel.

Mayor Peter Lester is re-
ported to be preparing a re-
quest for appointment of a
royal commission on Native
Indians affairs in B.C.

PEKING—A ‘new: lead: for
world peace has been given in
a joint statement by the Soviet
Union and. China, following

the Big Powers.

Immediate withdrawal of

‘U.S. and British troops
from Lebanon and Jordan.

The declared that: attempts
to restore colonial rule against
the. trend of history were
doomed to failure:

(On Tuesday this week, in
messages to U.S. President
Eisenhower, British Prime
Minister Macmillan: and
French General de Gaulle,
Soviet Premier Krushchev re-
jected U.S.-British proposals
for a summit conference with-
in the UN Security Council
on the ground that the coun-
cil “has shown it is not cap-
able of ensuring” a solution
of the Middle East crisis. The
council, Krushchev pointed
out, was dominated by the
U.S. and included “a political
corpse — Chiang Kai-shek”
in the seat that should be
occupied by the Chinese
People’s. government.

(Krushchev called for an
emergency session of the UN
