U.S. & Canada To
Set Up Defense
Comprittee
OTTAWA, (JP)—President Eisen
hower and Prime Minister .John
Diefenbaker agreed Thursday to
establish a. joint U.S.—Canadian
cabinet cominittee on continental
defense.
A statement issued by the two
leaders said the new cabinet body
will supplement but not supplant
existing joint committees and
boards, such as the joint defense
board.
The decision was reached at a
final session in the morning. As
a result of earlier talks, the North
American neighbors had agreed to
cooperate on the question of trade
with Red China and means of
preventing a surprise attack.
The afternoon was left free
for the President to test his golf
ing skill at the Ottawa Hunt Club.
The President and Prime Mini
ster announced Wednesday night
that their- governments will con
sult fully from now on in at
tempts to resolve, as they come
up, differences arising over con
flicting export policies and laws.
Such conflict exists on com
merce with Communist China.
The United States bans all trade
with the Chinese Reds; Canada
embargoes only sales of strategic
goods.
Canada apparently won some
thing of a concession.
And after the agreement was
announced, Canadian Finance
Minister Donald M. Fleming
passed the word that the inten
tion is that Canadian law and
Canadian law alone would pre
vail over persons, or corporations
carrying^ on business in Canada.
Eisenhower and Diefenbaker
also agreed that experts of both
countries will begin working to
gether on a study of safeguards
against surprise attack, especially
across the Arctic.
The experts are to cooperate
with those of other free world
nations concerned with the prob
lem. The President and Prime
Minister said in a formal state- |
ment that they are “encouraged
by certain elements of respon
siveness” by Soviet Premier
Khrushchev to Western proposals
on supervision and control.
Price of Chinook Salmon
Reaches 84^ A Pound
SEATTLE, UP) — A record price
this season of 84 cents a pound
for 1,200 pounds of large'chinook
salmon was paid Wednesday on
the Seattle Fishermen’s Exchange.
Only once in the past five
years has the price for a large
chinook gone higher, officials of
•the Fishermen’s Cooperative Assn,
said. That was 86 cents.
Association officials said the
high prices paid by wholesalers
were due to the poor catches be
ing made offshore this year.'
They blamed a warming up of
coastal waters, which they said
are getting too hot for salmon.
The ocean temperatures are 5-8
degrees above normal.

Armenians Give
Downed Airmen
Rough Treatment
WEISBADEN, Germany, iff) —
Soviet civilians threatened to hang
one of nine U.S. airmen shot
down in Soviet Armenia and
roughed up others, a U.S. Air
Force colonel said Thursday.
Col. Dale D. Brannon of Char
don, Ohio, senior officer aboard
the unarmed transport plane
downed in flames June 27, said
Maj. Bennie A. Shupe of Miami,
Fla., narrowly missed being
lynched.
“The rope was attached to a
telephone pole and the noose
was being placed over his head
when he managed to convey to
them the fact that he was an
American,” Brannon told a
crowded news conference.
“The group (of Russian civil
ians) then paused for a discussion.
It was at this time that the So
viet military police arrived and
took him into custody.”
Brannon said five of the nine
airmen aboard the transport
received rough treatment from
the local population after they
bailed out of the burning plane.
“My hands were tied behind
my back and I was beaten in the
face by fists and later kicked in
the body when placed aboard a
truck for transport to the local
village,” Brannon said.
The four crewmen who landed
with the plane and were picked
up by Soviet soldiers were not
molested, he said.
Maj. Shupe, who parachuted
from the burning plane, said he
wa^ badly beated up by the
peasants who captured him.
He added:
“Later when they tried to hang
me on a telephone pole I shouted
‘New York-Chicago’ to make
them understand I was an Amer
ican. While hanging preparations
were still going on one man
shouted something, I don’t know
what, but it stopped them.”

attractive miss they could show
off at the Democrat’s state con
vention next week in Yakima.

accept the $100 first prize check
from Gov. Albert Rosellini.
Sister Consilia decided to en
ter the contest under her family
name, Bonnie Jean Brown, after
reading about it in the news
papers.
Sister Consilia’s Mother Super
ior promptly announced that Sis

ty Democrat,” would not only ac
cept the $100 prize money, but
Would go to the .convention to
get it from the governor.
