month. Canadian officials blamed his death on despondency over a U.S. Senate subcommittee's recent resurrection of their eld charge that he was a Communist. External Affairs Minister Lester B. Pearson, whose handling of the Norman issue was sharply criticized by several newspapers, bared to public scrutiny for the first time Wednesday night the circumstances leading to Norman's suicide. Two Points Emphasised Pearson answered charges, and recitals of charges against Norman in a telegram to the editor of the Montreal Gazette. The statement was aimed directly at three days rtf columns by Ottawa correspondent Arthur Blakely which were largely an indictment of the government’s alleged bungling of the Norman case. The statement also answered the charges and comments against Norman by U.S. Senate Morris. ? ’ "The Gazette published the text of Pearson's statement on its editorial page without comment. Pearson’s statement emphasized

two points: —..... —Although U.S. security agencies had had the information about Norman and apparently had “leaked” it to the Senate committee, the Canadian government refused to make the information, public in Canada. —Person told the Commons on April 12, the last day of the session, that the Senate subcommittee’s information on Norman did not come from any Canadian security source via a United States agency. But he admitted Wednesday night that Morris knew of the first report which labelled Norman a Communist. Security Probe Held Pearson said in his telegram that his decision to retain Norman's services after Norman underwent a security probe in 195051 was taken ’’only after a meticulous examination of the evidence available to the investigating authorities.” > This information included Norman's “associations with Communists during his university days, as well as any possible associations subsequent to his membership” in the External Affairs Department. ’“On the basis of Investigation,” Pearson said, “I concluded that he had had as a student ideological beliefs which were close to some brand of Communism. I also concluded that he regretted these earlier associations -and beliefs and had voluntarily abandoned them by the time he entered the Canadian foreign service.!* Dealing with statements by Morals and Blakely concerning reports that Norman was a Communist, Pearson said: “It is true that a report by an RCMP secret agent mentions Norman as a member of the Canadian Communist Party in 1940 and it is no doubt this report which was forwarded by the RCMP in October 1950 to appropriate agencies, to which Mr. Blakely and Mr; Morris refer. — "How this report became public J can only gueS. ’ Sees No Need For Continued Mail Cut Summerfield Keeps Two Services Cuts WASHINGTON (UP)—Rep. J. Vaughan Gary (D-Va.) said today there is no need for Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield to continue some of the postal cuts he made during his squabble with Congress. Gary, chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on postal funds, said Summerfield certainly should be able to restore full service with the 41 million dollars Congress gave him. “He's running the post office. The Congress is not,” Gary told the Uruted Press. "Any cuts are his responsibility.” _ Garyadded that if Summerfield can’t get by with the money Congress allowed hirri “we’ll probably have to give him the Treasury." Summerfield retained two service cuts after Congress appropriated six million dollar less than the 47 million dollars he asked to run the postal service until the current fiscal year ends June 30. Post office windows remain on a reduced Bti-hour • daily schedule and business area deliveries are limited to two instead of the previous three a day. „ Other curtailments were restored—chiefly Saturday mail deliveries and Saturday post office service which will be back to normal this Saturday.

Hold Bomber Output I Al Present Rates Air Force Will Not Expand Production WASHINGTON (UP)—The AbForce announced today that it will hold 852 heavy bomber production at the present rate of 15 a month instead of expanding to the 20-a-month goai given Congress last year. • The service said that the total number of the intercontinental Hbombers to be produced is not being changed but that production will be stretched out an extra six months. The planned total production of stretchout will keep production going longer and thus make a “favorable" situation for the Air Force and the Boeing Air Plane Co., Seattle, if it is decided later to buy more of the aircraft. The Air Force said the new production schedule will make it possible to obtain “a substantially greater proportion” of a new 852 model which is reported to have considerably increased fuel capacity and thus greater range than the models now in the Strategic] Air Command. Present plans call for equipping 11 heavy bomber wings with the airplanes. There are 45 planes to a wing. The Air Force also announced that production of the KCI3B jet tanker plane will be held to 15 a month, a goal to be reached in
