The emotional flag issue shattered the fraternal atmosphere of the legionnaires, meeting when Pearson plumped for a maple leaf design to replace the red ensign as the national flag. The Prime Minister was drowned out repeatedly by shouting and catcalls.
Pearson Booed in Canada
WINNIPEG, Man.—(UPI)—Nearly 2,000 members of the Royal Canadian legionnaires and their wives booed, jeered and cheered Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson last night in his strongest speech to date on a new flag for Canada.
Legion President Judge C. C. Sparling told Pearson he was sorry that "many have not learned the first rules of courtesy," but Pearson said opposing views had been stated in a "sincere and upright manner."
Johnson Cuts Government Jobs
WASHINGTON—(UPI)President Johnson has cut 8,655 jobs off the federal employment ceilings he had set for the end of the current fiscal year on June 30.
The White House said yesterday that the cutback, coupled with a reduction of 6.526 jobs announced on March 9, means that 15,191 federal positions will be lopped off Johnson's January budget estimate of 2,512,400 civilian employees at the end of the fiscal year.
Congress Slashes Agency Funds
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—The House Appropriations Committee today ordered major cuts in President Johnson's budget for the U.S. space program, civilian defense and urban renewal.
It also recommended a reduction of 1,500 employees in the Federal Aviation Agency along with a big money slash.
Aviation Agency along with eight Overall, the House group took $925 million out of President Johnson's proposed budget for 25 independent government agencies. The new total came to $13.3 billion.
Teenagers War in England
MARGATE, England—(UPI)—Reinforced police squads patrolled the streets today to put down any new violence between rival teenage gangs which turned this seaside resort into a weekend battlefield.
"The teenagers are nothing but undisciplined hooligans," said Norman Fowler, assistant chief constable of Kent. "Some of them are really vicious."
More than 2,000 teenagers, including many girls, stormed into Margate on motor scooters and motorcycles for the Whitsun (Pente-cost) weekend, and raised the roof. Margate is 73 miles southeast of London.
Cyprus Greeks Face UN Demand to Release Turks
NICOSIA, Cyprus—(UPI)—President Archbishop Makarios today faced a showdown with the United Nations over its demands that Greek Cypriots release 32 Turkish Cypriot hostages.
The U.N. demand may be too late for many of the hostages. Greek Cyripti and International Red Cross sources said they believed at least 14 have been killed. This report could not be confirmed officially.
Lt. Gen. Prem Singh Gyani, commander of the U.N. Peace Force, yesterday gave Makarios until Wednesday to obtain release of the hostages. Makarios is the leader of the Greek Cypriot community on the stifte-torn Mediterranean island.
Gyani's demand brought Makarios the most serious showdown he has had so far with the United Nations. It also put him in a difficult position with his own Greek Cypriot followers.
The hostages were seized last week in retaliation for the slaying a week ago of two Greek Army officers who entered the Turkish Cypriot sector of Famagusta.
U. N. sources said Makarios' response would be a test of his sincerity and of his control over Greek Cypriot irregulars.
The archbishop has denounced the seizing of hostages as "a revolting criminal action which I unreservedly condemn."
Gyani's demand came in the form of a statement last night that Galo Plaza, new political representative of U.N. Secretary General Thant, would call on Makarios before leaving for New York Wednesday.
It was not clear what action the United Nations force would take if the Greek Cypriots refuse to hand over the hostages.
"It is hoped that after this interview Plaza will be in a position to
inform Thant the hostages have been released," Gyani said.
U. N. officials were concerned that if the slaying of a considerable number of the hostages is confirmed, Turkish Cyprots may seek swift vengeance and set off a new round of violence.
German Students Jeer at Soviets
BERLIN—(UPI)—Communist police backed up by two water cannons dispersed an unruly crowd of booing East German youths last night in front of the Soviet embassy in East Berlin, about 300 yards from the Communist wall.
The youths jeered and hooted for 45 minutes before being dispersed by about 150 policemen. Later some youths publicly criticized the wall. No arrests were reported.
West Berlin Police who sifted reports on the incident said it appeared to be spontaneous and to have little political significance.
They said the youths, part of 500- 100 young men and women brought to East Berlin for a massive Communist rally, gathered near the anti-
THEY APPARENTLY booed outside the Soviet embassy in order to vent their resentment of the police action.
After police dispersed the crowd, the youths scattered in small groups down Unter Den Linden Avenue and the neighboring Friedrichstrasse and many engaged in animated conversations past midnight.
A few visiting West German youths were among them.
Loud criticisms of the Communist wall were heard, despite the presence of police.
"West Germans can cross the wall to us but we cannot cross the wall
Pope Announces Secretariat As Link to Non-Christians
VATICAN CITY — (UPI) — Pope Paul VI has taken another step toward increasing the Vatican's influence in world affairs by forming a new body to promote closer links with non-Christian religions.
The new body will act as liaison between the Vatican and Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists and others whose religions are not based on the divinity of Jesus Christ. It will explore common problems with leaders of these faiths.
The pontif named Paolo Cardinal Marella, for many years an apostolic delegate in Japan, as head of the new organization.
The special secretariat was seen as another step in Pope Paul's effort to make the Roman Catholic Church universally influential. Since he became leader of the world's half billion Catholics, Pope Paul has fostered policies of ecumenism instigated by his predecessor, Pope John XIII,
The Pope announced the special secretariat during a Pentecost service in St. Peter's Basilica yesterday. He said the move was part of "the effort the church makes to come closer, even in simple human contacts, to those belonging to other religions."
The Pope said details of the secretariat's plans and purposes would be made known this week.
He said the secretariat would have a similar structure to that of the secretariat for promoting Christian unity. The later body, charged with liaison with non-Catholic Christians, has brought representatives of Protestant and other denominations into the ecumenical council as observers and widened the exchanges between the Vatican and other faiths.
The pontiff first mentioned the idea of a secretariat for relations with non-Christians eight months ago in a document on the ecumenical council. He then called for the establishment of such a group "at an opportune time."
It was not immediately known if the establishment of the new secretariat now meant non-Christian religions would be invited to send observers to the third session of the ecumenical council which opens in September. Vatican sources said it was a definite possibility.
"He's right," said another one.
"Why can't we?"
to West Berlin," one youth was heard
to say, "Why not?"
Addressing priests and seminarians in the Basilica, the Pope said "Catholic" in its truest sense meant that "every class distinction is transformed into full social solidarity, every nationalism is enlisted in the welfare of the world community, every racism is condemned."
The mood of the youths was not ugly, and they did not appear bent on storming the wall.
EARLIER, 320,000 youths waving Communist banners marched through East Berlin and passed before East German Communist party leader Walter Ulbricht in a four-hour parade staged by the Communist Free German Youth Organization, according to the East German news service ADN.
Next time monotony makes you feel drowsy while driving, working or studying, do as millions do . . . perk up with safe, effective NoDoz tablets. Another fine product of Grove Laboratories.
The rally of youth from throughout East Germany coincided with a three-day weekend occasioned by the religious holiday of Pentecost today. Christians celebrate Pentecost as the day the Holy Spirit descended on Christ's apostles after his death.
THE SAFE WAY to stay alert without harmful stimulants
West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt dared the Communists in a radio speech last night to open the wall and let the youths visit the West.
BRANDT'S SPEECH was recorded in the United States during his current visit.
NoDoz keeps you mentally alert with the same safe refresher found in coffee and tea. Yet NoDoz is faster, handier, more reliable. Absolutely not habit-forming.
