‘Political Confusion’

Seen in Alberta

WINNIPEG, Aug. 19 —- (CF) - Thc C.C.F. National Leader, M. J. Coldwell, said today the result of Tuesday's Alberta Provincial elect- ion indicates "political confusion" in that province. -

"lt is extraordinary." he said,

"that the rural vote went for public ownership of power while a goveznment which opposed this was elected. I think this shows political confusion." Premier Douglas of Saskatchewan. head of Canada's only C. C. F. government, also suggested the QCJ‘. had won a moral victory 0h the power issue.

Government Seeks To Stem Price Rise

The Prices Board, acting to stem increases in bread and flour prices, today slapped price ceilings on the products and cancelled any increases which have taken place since July a1 when the domestic price of wheat was boosted.

A Board spokesman said the Board had evidence that a general increase throughout the country was contemplated, and that it acted on government instructions and reimposed the price ceilings.

Board offices across the coun- try have been watching the price trend since July 31 when it was announced that the domestic price of wheat would be increased from $1.55 to $2 a bushel.

In making that announcement, Trade Minister Howe said that a 45-cent-a-bushel subsidy would be paid to miliers and processors o! wheat_ to eliminate the need for any increase in the prices of flour and bread.

However, explained a Board of- ficial, the payment of the subsidy did not make it lliegil for millers or bakers to increase their prices because ceilings had been remov. ed Scpt. 14, 1947.

The ceilings apply to all flour and bread made wholly or partly from Western Canada wheat. The Board spokesman said the price increases were not confined to any one area, nor were the increases traceable to any particular sec. tion of the industry -— bakers. millcrs or processors. c

Tile Militias will apply to flour and bread of all trade levels.

With possibly a few exceptions these likely will b0 H19 new pg. tail prices across the country:

The prices are for 20 ounce loaves in Nova Scotla, Saskatche, wan and Alberta, 24 ounce loaves ih New Brunswick, Prince Edward ISlBXId. Quebec, and Ontario, .18 ounce loaves in Manitoba and 15 ounce loaves in British Columbia. gThe Board spokesman said the prices were those prevailing on or about July 31.

Crew Escapes As Trawler Blows Up 15 Miles Off Halifax

The 357-t0n trawler Arleux, one of the best-known ships on the Atlantic seaboard, blew up and sank 15 miles at sea today but her crew of 2d made land safely.

Captain John Cruikshank, a dir- ector of Atlantic Tratvlcrs Lim- ltlcd, owners of the, 130 foot ves- sel, said here tonight that be be- lieved the ship “may have struck a floating mine." '

He said the ship had been over- hauled three years ago and out- fitted with water tight compart- ments which "would have made it praticallyr impossible for the ship to sink in such a short time un-

Royal Match Seen Dy Paris Paper

t

' PARIS, Aug. 19 - (Reuters) —

The Marquess of Blandlord may_

propose to Britain's Princess Margaret on her birthday Satur- day the newspaper L'Aur0rc says today. .

The Marquess oi’ Blandford, 22- year-old heir of the Duke of Marl- borough, is a relative of Winston Churchill. He and his sister, Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill. are guests of the King and Queen at. Baimoral Castle. Scotland.

The newspaper, quoting well-in- formed British court circles in s. dispatch from a correspondent in

. London. says it was admitted that

there was evezy chance of the match being made. The dispatch says that if the

marriage w e r e arranged, i t seemed hardly likely that an official announcement would be

made immediately because “the King and Queen would prefer to await their return from the visit they will makefio New Zealand and Australia with the Princess" early next year.

The dispatch says that the Marquess had been especially in- vited to Balmoral for Margaret's birthday party and "this event naturally gave further encourage- ment to the rumor that the marriage is virtually certain,"
