"Prince George is truly lovely, and H reminds me of a flower bursting open in the pressure of Encouragement, the type that Prince George industrial planners thrive on, was ladled out in liberal doses last night by a director of one of the world's most successful industrial enterprises. On the serving end of an hour's eagerly-sought advice was General Sir Ouvry L. Roberts, GCB, KBti, DSO, MA, who as president and director of Grosvenor-Laing (B.C.)

In response to press confer: nice questions, Eisenhower: said two different situations could justify withdrawal of the troops being used to enforce racial integration at Little Rock's Central High School. 1. The giving of unequivocal assurances that the U.S. district court integration order will not be obstructed and that peace and order will be maintained. 2. An actual, factual development of peaceful conditions to the extent that local police could control the situation. Eisenhower noted further that a committee of four southern governors still is seeking a solution. One reporter asked whether Eisenhower feels that Faubus 'really wants to put an end to the problem in Little Rock." Eisenhower said he wouldn't want to answer that as he never tries to interpret motives of persons with whom he disagrees. He said he simply believes "Faubus is mistaken and is doing a dissservice to his city and his state." Eisenhower declined to go beyond the Little RocK crisis to say whether his public pledges to support all measures necess- force integration elsewhere. He said he didn't want to go into hypothetical questions, and that each case is different. No Relief Yet From Cold, Snow Cold, snowy wcathor will be Avilh us for a few more days.

Freedom For Primate Seen NEW YORK (AP) � The New York Times says today in a dispatch from Budapest that Communist authorities might allow Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty to leave Hungary. Since Russian" troops crushed the anti-Soviet uprising last fall, the cardinal � Hungary's Roman Catholic primate � has been a refugee in the U.S. legation in Budapest. The Hungarian rebels had liberated him from a life sentence he was serving after conviction by the Communists on 'reason charges. The Times quotes acting premier Ferenc. Munnieh as saying in an interview his government ivould be receptive to specific proposals concerning the cardinal. The dispatch says: "The Hungarian leader couched his hint about the cardinal in vague language but appeared to indicate that the government might be willing to allow the prelate to leave Hungary under certain circumstances which he did not define." City manager looms As Bi ssue In December Election McMahon Not Happy With Sloan's Tax Boos! Plan VANCOUVER (CP) � Canada's biggest independent oil operator, Frank McMahon of Calgary,. Thursday disagreed with a suggestion that '. B.C.'s oil and gas industry should pay more taxes. - � � Through royalties and other charges, the provincial government "is already getting a good deal of money out of the industry," he said in an "interview. Mr. McMahon is president of Westcoast Transmission Company and chairman of Pacific Petroleums Limited. The suggestion for higher charges on the oil and gas business was contained in the Royal Commission report of Chief Justice Gordon Sloan who advocated that taxes on forestry industries be reduced and spread among other natural resource business. If taxes were raised on mining, oil and gas firms, the thief justice suggested, "that should answer much of the logging industry's protests." To this, Mr. McMahon said: "Taxes have already been raised against the mining industry, and look what's happened.* Mines arc closing and exploration has slowed down. "But we're a new industry in this province. We've got to spend a lot of money before we get anything out. Under these conditions, high royalties and other charges could seriously .slow, down the pace." CBC Waste Of Money Says One Of Founders VICTORIA of the three (CP) � One men whose findings ied to the establishment of the CBC said Thursday the national broadcasting network as presently operated is a waste of money- He is Charles A. Bowman, 74, sole surviving member of the three-man Aird Commission, set up in 1029 to study broadcasting in Canada. As a result of the commission's recommendations to Premier R. B. Bennett the CBC was founded in 19CS6. "The CBC is out of its depth," Mr. Bowman said in an interview here, explaining views he expressed in a recent letter to the Ottawa Citizen, of which he was editor until his retirement to the coast in 1946. He said that continuing operation of the CBC on the present basis is "a waste of money � a huge and unneccsary demand U.S. Prestige Hits New Low In Crisis-Torn Middle East By DAVE OANCIA Canadian Press Staff Writer BEIRUT, Lebanon (CP) �The United States seems to have suffered at least a short-term setback in the Middle East as a result of its policy predicted in alarm over recent Syrian developments. American influence has seldom been lower. Last winter it was at its zenith after the Eisenhower administration backed United Nations resolutions dealing with the fighting in Egypt. Observers sec the Arab reaction to recent "American policy as the first major failure of the Eisenhower doctrine. This program postulates economic aid arid .military assistance for any nation attacked by the forces of a country "controlled by international communism." IGNORES NATIONALISM The doctrine, however, appears to ignore the strong feelings of Arab nationalism and the preoccupation of the Arabs not with tiic threat from Russia, 1 ut with Israel. Although the front of Arab unity is fiawed. individual na- to'uphold the courts meaat I Uons decUre they wiii sot al- low an outside power to exploit divisions; to turn Arab against Arab. Recent American actions have had the effect of forcing pro-Westfirn Arab countries into refraining from criticism of Syria's pro-Soviet stand. Syrians also have rallied behind their government. � Arabs see Western powers pursuing anti-Russian aims that are not, to their minds, relevant to Arab interests. .. They look on the West in terms of support of Israel, the abrupt withdrawal of an offer to help Egypt build the Aswan high dam and restrictive trade and monetary policies. OPPOSITE EFFECT Israel, they say. could not exist without the American money which is making it stronger every day. Russia, on the other hand, has turned to account the nationalistic feeling, the long-established xenophobia and the hostility to Israel. The Russians have not asked the Arabs to be Communist, as the Western powers have asked them to be anti-Communist. Few Arabs condemn,Syria for getting Soviet arms for the stat- ed purpose of defence against Israel. This (is one of the main reasons why the declarations about the danger of the pro Soviet regime in' Syria by President Eisenhower ;,nd State Secretary Dulles and the sudden airlift of arms to Jordan have had effects opposite to those intended. JORDAN EMBARRASSED Foreign Minister Samir Rifai of Jordan was embarrassed to the point where he said it was '"bad luck" that American arms had arrived at such an "abnormal time." Syria has a right to do what it pleases about its owi. Interests and, anyway, Israel is a far greater menace to Jordan than is her neighbor to the north, he added. Even more significant was the meeting of King Saud of Saudi Arabia. Premier Alijawdat of Iraq and Syrian leaders in Damascus last week. The Arabian monarch, a cornerstone of American policy in the Middle East, promised categorically to help defend Syria if she were attacked. The talks between the premiers of Western-minded Iraq and Soviet-leaning Syria marked the first meeting in eight years between the government heads of (� these two countries. Criticisms of U.S. policies does not mean Arab countries are not concerned about Syria's swing to the left. ACCEPT NEUTRALISM King Saud is reported to have sought assurances from Syria \ that no closer ties will be formed with Russia than the purchase of arms and the agreement covering economic cooperation. Tiny Lebanon, a staunch supporter of the West, is concerned about Syria defaulting to communism. This would likely throttle much of. the coastal country's commerce with nations to the East. . Pro-Western Arabs are hopeful the West will swallow'a distaste for "neutralism" and help the Arabs become a strong neutral block committed to neither &ide. A growing number of western observers say that a strong and neutral Arab world is the best that can be salvaged from past British and American policies. To do this, they add, economic aid should be granted without political strings to assist the Arab world to develop its' resources and to raise living standards. on the public treasury-" Mr. Bowman added: "The broadcasting situation in this second half of the 20th century is profoundly different than it was when the CBC was established." He recommended that CBC stations be given to the universities of Canada; that more private TV stations be allowed; and that national TV broadcasting with Canadian talent be limited to three hours daily, as Canada could not supply talent for more.

A special board of trade-committee investigating the feasibility of a city manager government for Prince George reported last night that over 25 communities contacted for an opinion of the plan were in favor of it. ' The committee has written to municipalities throughout Canada and the United States in an effort to gather data on the scheme. Communities with a population of between 2500 and half a million have expressed full support of the relatively new form of local government. ------------------------------------------- KKiMilES FAVOR IT George Kellett, chairman of the special committee, told -x trade hoard meeting that all replies to the queries have been favorable. � � "It makes one wonder why more communities don't have city managers if they are all so whole-heartedly in agreement with the plan," Kellett said. He stated that the committee has received between 25 and 50 'lengthy replies" to the letters which were sent some time ago. Advised of the preliminary results of the trade board committee's Minly of feeling towards the city manager plan, . M-iyor John Morrison nuid this �nonting, "The board' in: to be commended for it* interest in tvh.-it in crrfulnly a nlont important subject." He said: "As mayor Twill welcome whatever submission the board may make on city management. "The subject is still before the �ity council and I fcsl thai it is one which demands all the the Guidance we can get." He said the city manager plan ha?, never been received by the council with a "degree of unanimity" which would permit it to be put into effect with .much i.'iance of success. "I would say offhand that prac-li-ally the whole council would have to he in support of the pro/ ;iosal in order to create an atmosphere in which it could Oper-lte." He said city management is "not a thing which can be thrust by a meagre majority on a fairly large minority, and be expected to work efficiently." When and if the plan is adopted "it must be done with resolution and as near a guarantee of its success as we ran readily irant to it." EAMUEST OPPORTrXITV Alderman Percy Williams re-tcrated an earlier statement that he will bring the issue before city council "at the earliest op-ortunlty."
