Diefenbaker said he sees no reason in the international situation for shortening the summer recess and recalling the Commons and Senate earlier than they planned to resume their work.
He said in an airport interview it was originally planned that the session would continue normally into the fall and that nothing has developed in the recess to change the plan.
The prime minister thereby ruled out speculation that he might prorogue the 1961 session soon after its resumption next month and open a new session, making an early start on the 1962 program.
The current session started in November, 1960, carried through j Christmas,    Easter   and   summer recesses and already is the longest   in  history.

East Germans Slam Shut
Gate
CP   from   Reuters-AP
BERLIN � Communist East
ermany severed telephone connections with the West today and closed the Brandenburg Gate, the chief crossing point between East and West Berlin, as the divided city seethed under the Communist clampdown on the flow of East German refugees   to  the   West.
West Berliners clamored for sharp counter-action against the blockade of East German travel, imposed at the sector border by heavily-armed East German troops and police.
The closing left open only 12 other street crossings in the divided city.
Shutting of the exits from East Berlin was seen by the free world's press as creating the danger of a new and futile Berlin uprising.
The newspapers said closing of the East Berlin borders to stem the tide of refugees from
ast Germany threw a spot-ight on how intolerable living conditions have become under he Communist regime  there.
The official Soviet Commun-st Party newspaper Pravda, however, said that the East German closure of the border �vith West Berlin was "long verdue and dictated by life tself."

The forest service will try to fly a crew into the village today.
"We don't  know where the lire   is  or   how   close   it   is   t< the   village,"   a   forest   service official   said.   "We   just   don' know what is happening there because of this darn smoke." He said   the  fire  had  beer burning   for   some   time,   bu wasn't    of    great    importance and,   therefore,    wasn't    being fought.
A crew equipped with watei pumps was sent to the village from Finlay Forks, about 60 miles away, Sunday night However the crew was forcec to turn back.
A crew is standing by at McLood's Lake today and will be flown into the village if the heavy smoke lifts.
Heavy smoke from the 68 fires burning in the district hangs over the Prince George area today.
The huge Grove and Tsus fires were held again on the weekend, making it five days in a row that the fires haven't moved.
However the 23,000-acre Grove Fire, burning 12 miles east of here, is still giving trouble on its east and northeast sides. The fire has been encircled by about 00 miles-of fire guard.
"We're getting 'hot spots in the middle of tho fire, on its east side, and between where it jumped the new Highway 10 right-of-way and the main body," the forest, service spokesman said.
"The situation at that fire is still very serious, but each day wo hold we strengthen our position. We're confident we can hold our ground now, even with this dry, hot weather.
"But if we get a wind all hell will break loose."
(A five-day forecast from the weather office predicts a slight L'ooling, but temperatures will remain above normal. No rain is forecast and winds are exacted   to be  light).
A total of 680 men and 37 ntlldozers are battling the 3rove Fire;

A total of 260 men and 21 bulldozers are fighting the blaze today;
"We    are    quite about    a    number fires,"      the     forest     service spokesman  said. "We have  t hit  them  before  they get to> big."
Major problem facing the forest service here now is the diminishing number of mei and equipment still available to be used on fires.
Almost every big bulldozei In the area has been pressed into use. "I, don't know where we can get more equipment,' the forestry  spokesman said.

". . . mineral rights om-s"
Offshore Minerals Belong lo B.C. Bennett Maintains
CHAULOTTI3TOWN (CP) � Premier W. A. C. Bennett says the federal government "h a s more chance of obtaining mineral rights on the moon" than it has of collecting royalties on minerals off the B.C. coast.
His view has the backing of all Atlantic premiers.
The premier's comment Sunday night added fuel to a disagreement between Ottawa and some of the provinces which could explode into a major controversy.
The questions: Who has the rights to minerals under Canada's territorial waters � the federal government or the coastal  provinces'.*!.
Mr. Bennett said in an inter* view on the eve of today's opening of the two-day provincial premiers conference that Ottawa can do what it wants with minerals off the Arctic coast.
"But so far as mineral rigl )f B.C. are concerned, they ; ours and that's all there is it."
A recent development which touched off Mr. Hennett's coin-.iu>nt was an application by Shell Oil Company of Canada :or a federal exploration pet-nit of 11,000,000 acres of submerged land from Vancouver siand northward.
