Chaotic Ctndiiions Maior Problem Of The Industry .

(CP)- Unregulated highway traffic across provincial borders is 3. major problem of Canada's trucking industry. the Canadian Automotive Transports- tlon Associaiim was told Tuesday.

Concern over the inroads of un- licensed operators in this business was expressed in provincial assoc- i i.lons' reports to the parent body 0 the country's organized truckers holding its first annual meeting here.

Much of the anxiety, reports in- dicated. stemmed from a ”vacuum'' in trans-border regulation result- ing from a 1951 Supreme Court of Canada. decision that this is a fed- eral matter. The issue now is be- fore the judlcal committee of Brit- ain's Privy Council for settlement.

OTTAWA.

Causing Concern

The federal government has not yet said whether it plans to step into interprovinclsl and interna- tional control if it gets a go-ahead from the Privy Council.

The Saskatchewan Automotive Transportation Association said the present ”vacuum" in interpro- vinclal truck operation is causing "a great deal of concern" to oper- ators of that province.

"An increasing number of un- licensed operators are coming into Saskatchewan from outside points,"

Verdun Still In Ruins 37 Years After Battle

.. B (By Trenton Clover) VERDUN, Franco, (AP)-Nean ly 2,000 years ago, Verdun was a busy Roman city. Thirty-seven years ago it was the scene of the biggest battle of the First World War. Today, in an area 10 miles square. it looks like the ruin of an atomic era.

In this area. in 1916 more men were killed in a single sustained battle than ever before were kill- ed in such a battle in history- nearly 400.000 men.

It represents. as nearly as any- thing can represent. what might happen to such an area under the first hydrogen bomb..

The Verdun fortress area was never thickly inhabited in the ordinary sense of the word. But in 1916, the German general staff decided that, by a hard and sus- tained attack, it could cause such losses to the French Army that surrender of Rrsnce would be in- evitsble.

The fight last 18 months. In all, 66 divisions were used on.the Frcncll side, at different times. The Germans used up to 43 U2 divisions.

Two Strongpolnts Fell The Germans never took the fortress area, nor the town of

Verdun on the Mouse river. But they did occupy the two main strongpolnts of the fortifications. Vaux and Douaumont.'

The area is a military preserve. Only certain parts are open to the public. Others are forbidden hecause there still are shells buried.

For no other reason than that I had never seen the place, I vis- ited the Verdun battlefield just before Armistice Day.

Ceylon Declares British Gov.-General Not Wanted

COLOMBO, (Reuters)-The Cey- lon government, which last month banned Britain's flag and na- tional anthem. Tuesday served blunt notice that a British gover- nor-general is no longer wanted in this Commonwealth country.

Prime Minister Sir John Kotc- lawala sent a terse note to Gover- nor.Gens-ral Lord Soulbury on the subject. It was a reply to Soul- bui1v's request for. an explanation of the decision not to fly the Unni-.1 Jack or play "God save the Queen" at official functions.

"Although Ceylon is an inde- pendent country now, there are three points which the people of Ceylon are unable to understand." this premier wrote.

"First: Vifhy in this free land should there be a foreign gover- nor.-' .sr.a1?. V . '

' "Se and and'thir : Why should there be an English flag and an in free Ceylon? .v

"The. second,and third have been suitably dealt with, which may kindly be taken note of."

OTTAWA, (CP) - The 250,000,- member Canadian Legion Tuesday placed before the cabinet a plan for more veterans' housing.

Dr. C. B. Lumsden of Wolfville, N. S., Legion president, said after the meeting that Prime Minister St. Laurent showed great interest, in the housing proposal-one of 19 recommendations made in a 25- page brief.

Another major request was for increased War Veterans Allow- ances for the 40,000 persons now receiving them.

The Legion asked that the basic allowance rate be increased to 860 from :50 a month for single veter- ans and to 5120 from 390 a month for married persons. Some 30,000 veterans prematurely aged by nail and 10,000 widows and orphans oi
