Quiet session in Canada's parliament amid non controversial agenda
Ottawa June 29 The second session of Canada's 21st parliament was marked by a lack of major issues as Prime Minister Saint Laurent and Progressive Conservative leader George Drew steered calm, serious debate. Efforts to revive the prewar controversy failed. Justice Minister Garcon's disclosure about a flour mill price fixing report kept hidden for 10 months sparked resignation of chief combines investigator A McGregor. A four man commission was launched to overhaul combines law while unemployment insurance was expanded to cover workers earning up to 4800 a year, from 3120. Unemployment peaked around 383000 before easing.

No Indications Russia Is Ready To Launch Hot War
FRANKFURT GERMANY June 29. Best military information indicates Russia has no intention to turn the cold war into a hot one in Europe for the present. No signs of unusual activity or stockpiling along the Iron Curtain from the Baltic to Bulgaria. Some troop movements seen in East Germany are likely routine. Russians are rapidly constructing military airports across East Germany, viewed as bolstering the Soviet perimeter rather than signaling an early attack. Bulgarian troop concentrations near the Yugoslav border appear tied to nerve warfare against Marshal Tito.
