WASHINGTON 'CP) - President Eisenhower flies to Europe
lodav seeking fresh pledges of
Western solidarity and promising
there will be no Unitcd States'
appeasement in his talks next
month with Soviet Premier
Khrushchev.
He also promised, at a press
conference on the eve of his departure, to maintain U.S. military
s'lvs'th wlii!? seeking peace with
i honor and justice, though he;
warned that continuation of huge;
'U.S. military expenditures could;
I eventually cause a fiscal explos-;
ion that might shake world con-
1 fidence in American currency. \
' Eisenhower is to take off at S|

London and Paris. '
'; In separate talks with Chancel-
1 lor Adenauer. Prime Minister
■Macmillan and President dc

1 To preserve th strength ot

2 To show joint Western readiness to negotiate with Russia rc-
alisticallv on disarmament and on
':al Berlin issue;
3. To find ways of aiding the al
most 2,000,000,000 citizens of underdeveloped countries, a prob
lcm which Eisenhower considers
the most pressing of all.
On the Berlin issue, Eisenhowci
denied published reports that hit

a proposal from Khrushchev thai

Berlin in return for the West pull
troops out of Berlin.

there bcause he had just been informed by the Soviet foreign ministry that Khrushchev is considered the Soviet head of state.
Only heads of state get presidential greetings at the airport.

'MPERATURES
"I've been In political life
a long time," Premier Matheson said Tuesday in an Interview. "I've never seen
things looking better than In
this election."
"People are so interested
they're coming right out and
saying they'll support you It 1
either that they're glad about
what the Liberals have done
or they're sore at Ottawa.'
The 56-ycanold premier
said he isn't worried about the
loss of the only byee ectlon
called for the p-fovlneia legislature since the Liberals
scored a smashing 1955 Ul-
umphand captured 27 of the
30 house scats. Nor Is he up

The premier said that if Ottawa announced now that a
long-sought causeway would
be built to link thc island
and mainland Canada it would
have no effect. Conservative
speakers, while making no
claims that their election
would bring the causeway, arc
emphasizing that they are
"the party of the causeway."
ECONOMICALLY
FEASIBLE
Mr. Matheson said the
causeway which would replace
C.N.R. ships they cost $2,000,-
000 a vear to operate, is economically feasible. The cost
has been estimated as high
as $50,000,000.
"I know a new way to build
it that wouldn't cost $50,000,-
000" the premier said. "Ontario engineers are interested

politicians. Thc Conservatives
are holding big rallies which
Mr. Matheson described as "a
lot of ballyhoo." Both parties
are making extensive use of
radio and television. Each has
a full slate of candidates seeking the 3* seats.
Mr. Matheson Indicated he
feels he is running against
the same party as in 1955. "At
least 17 of the 30 Conservative candidates were in the
field last time" he said. We
have farmers candidates, we
have fewer over 70, we have

Legislation establishing thc
parole board stipulates that
every sentence under a Criminal Code conviction must be
reviewed by thc parole board.
This is one reason for the increase in release of prisoners
on parole. But the growing belief in penal circles that parole
should be used as an integral
part of the' reform — or correctional—system also is responsible.
