OTTAWA (CF) — Another bout of heavy rain has hit some Prairie areas so badly that wheat acre- age in those spots will decline, the bureau of statistics reported Wednesday in another survey of pralria crop conditions.

MINISTER QUERIED

OTTAWA. June 18. (special) — Transport- Minister Chevier was able in give only an indefinite ans- wer to a question asked by J Angus MacLean, Conservative mem- ber for Queens in the Commons to- day. as to what. action the Fed- eral Government proposed to take to relieve the congestion on the Wood Island-Caribou ferry route. The Queens member said he was aware the Transport Department planned construction of 1 new ferry but what would be done in the meantime" he asked.

Mr. Chevrier said the matter had been discussed by representatives of Prince Edward Island. The P E.I. Government and the Canad- ian Maritime Commission. Sev- eral suggestions had been put forward and investigated. he said One "veijv excellent suggcstion" had been made, he added, but this had to be dropped owing to the inability of the applicant to fulfill certain conditions.

“I am reluctant to discuss this matter in detail," Mr. Chevier said, “because it involves private financial transactions and in- dividuals. I can assure my hon- orable friend it is under considera- tlon_"

To Neil A. Matheson, Liberal member for Queens, Mr. Chevrler said that negotiations over means to relieve the congestion on the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry ser- vice are still continuing. He voiced the hope that some concrete action miglit be taken in the not too did- tant future.

It is understood that the min- ister and the Canadian Maritime Commission are considering the suggestion made some time ago by Mr. Mathcson and '1‘. J. Kickhani, Liberal MP for Kings. that the gov. ernmcnt ‘piiiéliase tha"\7e.ssel(“Ladv

Confidence Votes For Gov’!

OT’i'AWA _ (CP) —— The govern- ment's wheat-marketing policy was sustained Wednesday against two opposition motions of want-of-com fldence.

Members voted 137 to 58 to de- feat El Progressive Conservative

—mot-ion— saying the government has

"failed to deal effectively with-..the problem of marketing Canada's wheat surplus."

A CCF' moiioii seeking support for 5 floor price on wheat of at least 81.82"; a bushel-l0 cents above the present price — was de- feated 168 to 26.

All three opposition parties sup- ported the PC motion. However. Progresive Conservatives voted against the CCF‘ proposal after op- position leader Drew said the price is “uiircalistic." under present cir- cumstances. Two independent mem- bers, Raoul Paulin. Beance, and Fernanci Girard, Lapolntc. voted with the Liberals against both motions.

The divisions ended a debate which began last. week in the wake of price cuts of 10 cents R bushel

Steel-Nerved —* Bridge Tender Saves Span

VANCOUVER (CF) A steel- iierved bridge tender saved the centre span of Second Narrows bridge from being wrecked Tues- day when a freighter ran wild in Pile’! rip tide in North Burrard in- ct

The 10,000-ion Norwegian-owned Bonanza slammed into the bridge broadside, buckling the whole structure. Two holes were torn in her port side by giant girders and a shower of concrete from the bridge. .

Operator William Macdonald, 45. was in his cabin 40 feet above the bridge floor when he saw the Bon- anza was in difficulty. As the ves- sel bore down, he operated the lift- ing gear and got the span out of the way seconds before the ship struck.

Said A. H’. Ashdown, North Van- couver district engineer.

"The operator is a real hero." "lf his span had been hit by the ship. the bridge would probably have been out of commission for months. He had no way of kno\v- ing whether the whole thing would be knocked over, including his perch 160 feet above the water."

it is expected the bridge will be closed for at least 10 days.

it took ll tugs five hours to free

Trade Minister Howe, in an out- line of policy last week. said there wiil be further price cuts if neces- sary to maintain Canada's competi- tlve. msltion in world wheat mark- ets. But Canada felt it. had some controli ec_the competitive situ- ation. “ iinadr and the Linitod states were major suppliers of wheat and were conferring closely on the world marketing situation.

Later. while introducing hi.s de- pa_rtment‘s estimates. he said therr is little chance of a trade. war with the United States. As for a floor price. he said Canadian farmers already have one throiigii iht Canadian wheat board's initial pay- ment of $140 .1 bushel.
