Another member of the ring, Harry Gold, a Philadelphia biochemist, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to from eight lo 30 years in prison. Sobell and Gold are still in prison.

Bob Gracey, school district ecretary-treasurer, said he had eceived no official word, one vay or the other. Mr. Gracey indicated the con-iliators could have reached greement but that the school istrict has yet to be informed, ossibly by mail. "The salary negotiations are list taking the routine legal Procedure as set forth in the ublic Schools Act," was his nly comment.

"The BBG has handed down its recommendation in our favor and it's significant to note the BBG is an impartial body which makes decisions independent of government or private influence."

MONTREAL (CP) � The federal government ,ap-ars to be ready to step in to try to avert a nation-vide rail strike called for Dec. 3. deadline CHORUS MEETS The regular meeting of the Cariboo Chorus will be held tonight in the Duchess Park High School annex at 8:15. MAN DIES An 80-year-old man was found dead in his cabin at 123-1 Ninth, Island Cache, Tuesday. Police said death was due to natural causes. Only know relative of William Gorman is Miss Ellea Gorman, his sister, who lives in Ohio, Illinois. The strike deadline was se Tuesday by. 15 union.heads rep resenting 111,-dOb" non-operatin rail employees and it seemed t most observers that the onl hope of preventing it lay in fee eral intervention. NO COMMENT �Prime Minister Diefenbake had no comment when informcc of the strike but it was indicat ed later the government plannec to call company and union lead ers to Ottawa, perhaps this week end, for last-ditch talks with the prime minister and Labor Min ister Starr. � Both the CNR and CPR said they had no immediate commenl on the strike-call. The strike would take every railway employee, except engine men, firemen, brakemen and conductors, off trains and out of railway yards, shops and offices and halt every train in Canada except those running on the lines of the Pacific Great Eastern in British Columbia. SOME HINT Ottawa observers felt there might be some hint of government plans in the throne speech when Parliament opens Thursday. In the last few weeks there haye .been,.reports of plans for two different kinds of intervention � legislation calling for compulsory arbitration, and a special subsidy to pay the immediate cost of the wage-increases recommended by a federal conciliation board last August. In announcing the deadline Tuesday Frank H. Hall, veteran chief negotiator for the non-ops, reviewed the history of negotiations which ended with the board's recommendation the employees be given a 14 cents-an-iour increase over a two-year contract. CENTS The unions, who originally de-nanded 25 cents, accepted the ecommendations, but the railways, sticking to the position hey first took up, said they could afford none of it. Mr. Hall said final returns on he strike-balloting which pre-eded the call showed an overwhelming majority of employees ri favor of the strike � as high s 98 per cent in some unions nd no lower than 84 per cent :i any union. Mr. Hall says a special subsidy s "the only logical approach to situation." Battelle Report Will Not Interfere With PNR, Premier Bennett Declares VICTORIA CPi � Premier Ben-ictt said Tuesday the recent Bat-elle Memorial Institute report, avoring highway rather than ail links with Alaska, did not in any way interfere with plans of he Pacific Northern Railway. The PNR, backed in part by Swedish industrialist Axel Wen- er-Grcn, plans a 700-mile line rqm Summit Lake in the Prince Jeorge area to the Yukon border. Some clearing work has bee done at the Summit Lake sit but progress is at present stalle in a legal tangle with the Publi Utilities Commission. The Baltelle report, released a last week's Seattle meeting o the Alaska Rail and Highway Commission, estimated that a railway from central B.C. to Alaska would require an annua subsidy of $34,000,000 by 1980 WILL TRY FOR IT IF MADE LEADER Senator Wants Quick Columbia Move WASHINGTON (CP)� Mike Mansfield says he'll try for quick ratification of a Columbia River treaty with Canada if he becomes Senate majority leader next January. The 57-year-old senator, a Montana Democrat, says he also favors closer United States relations with Canada "and the other Americas." He would like to see a regional common market developed in which Canada and the U.S. would link up with South American coim-rlns. "I don't see much trouble jotting tin1 treaty through the Senate once it is drafted and tpproved by tho two central lovornmontB,'" Mansfield Bald n an interview. "The coal boys (coal industry lobby) may put ip a fiKht but that won'J be mien of a problem." The central governments of Canada and the United States now are drafting a treaty to harness the west coast river for power and flood control. One aspect of special interest to Mansfield is Canada's allowance of a five-year option to the U.S. for construction of the $325,000,000 Libby Dam in northern Montana. Mansfield said the U.S. would lake up W.AC. Begs for Answer On Columbia Financing VICTORIA ffl � Premier Bennett Tuesday ordered another query fired off lo Ottawa about the financing of the $450,000,000 Columbia River hydro project. He told reporters no reply lias been received from Finance Minister Fleming to a B.C. Idler asking the type and extent of financial aid the led eral government would be willing lo extend, "I'm asking ayain now by wire: 'Please may we have an answer'," the premier said. this option and proceed with the Libby, held up for some nine years mainly because of Canadian objections. "I feel on the basis of the proposals made that it will he a good treaty," he said. "However, we would want to give the Victoria parliament first crack at it. There would be no point of going ahead wilh ratification in the United Slates Senate if the British Columbia parliament opposes il, "The steps we would like to see arc: First, approval by the Victoria parliament, then the federal parliament in Ottawa and finally our approval here." Mansfield is in lino lo sue-coed Senator Lyndon Johnson as majority leader when Johnson takes over as vice-president. It did not mention the PNR by name but there has been talk of eventually extending the railway to Alaska. BOTH NEEDED The premier said the government feels both railway and highway links are needed � the former for heavy movement and the latter mainly for passengers. The government-owned Pacific Great Eastern Railway from North Vancouver fto the Peace River country was "basically a freight railway," he said and that was what most railways would become eventually. He also disclosed B.C. and Alaskan officials will meet in Alaska in the spring or summer to renew discussion for provision of a ship-road link between the far-north state and the U.S. proper through B.C. A DOVETAIL He said it was B.C.'s hope that proposed Alaska ferry system would be dovetailed into this u'ovince's highway system at ^rincc Rupert. On the southern end B.C. would undertake to build forrjes o provide a service probably rom Port Hardy, al the northern Ip of Vancouver Island, either o Prince Rupert or Kitimat. The alter aluminum-smelling town is Inked to Prince Rupert by highway. This, Uio premier said, was art of tho government's plan to ring tourists by the hundreds of housiifids to Vancouver Island nd to Jl,C.
