Before a Province can secure authorization for some needed works project. the Premiers com- lairn, they must deal with no less ban three federal Cabinet Min- isters. Financing of any joint fed- crai-Provincisl project is in the hands of Finance Minister Ilsley; labor in those of Labor minister Humphrey Mitchell: and priorities and materials are under Recon- struction Minister Howe.

Time Wasted

In negotiations with these three different departments. valuable time is wasted, the Premiers say. Moreover they have intllmated to

P. E. I. Representatives

This morning. Prince Edward island's representatives, William Massey, L. W. Shaw and R. E. White, took their places at the sit- tings of the economic committee of the conference. presided over by Health and Welfare Minister Brooke Claxton. Neither the Island representatives nor those oi’ other provinces would comment on the day's proceedings.

It was whispered in the corridors of the House that the economic committee was already proving too large for efficient transaction of business. with nearly 50 members from the i0 governments cancelin- ed.

licn. Weeks To Confer With Eisenhower

peolal to ‘ilne Guardian) - OTTAWA. Jan. 8—Prince Ed- ward Island’: General, Meior Gen- eral E. G. (Bunny) Weeks, now Adjutant General of the Canadian Army, will confer with General Dwight D. Eisenhower, chief of stall’ of the United States Army and former commander of the Allied armies in Europe on Thursday afternoon.

General Eisenhower who has ex- tended the time of his Ottawa visit, expressed a particular wish to have a chat with the Canadian General Staff, many of whom in- eluding Major General Weeks. served with him in the European theatre. In his new post, General

ion of the Canadian Army in its transitional and peace time foot- ing. Hence, it will fall to him to answer any technical questions asked by General Eisenhower on Canadian Army structure.

At Long Last?

Prince Edward Islanders in Ot- tewa-and not e few of them oc- cupy high positions in the service of the Government of Canada- feel that; with General Weeks as Adjutant General, greater atten- tlon will be given to Army estab- lishments in Charlottetown than has been the case in previous years. It goes without saying, they contend, that if P. E. I. needs improved Armories, better camp facilities for Reserve Army train- ing, or specialized training. re- quests for these matters will be heard by the General with a sym- p thetic ear.

ational Defence Headquarters in Ottawa admitted this evening that existing armories both in Charlottetown and Summerside are "old and out of date."

Supreme Court “iliiéliciiYssfcfilay

The Grand Jury found "no bill" against Stanley Gordon Pursey for manslaughter at the opening of the January session of the Sup- reme Court in Charlottetown yes- terday, but found a true bill a- gainst him on the indictment of driving a motor vehicle to the common danger. A true bill was found against Joseph Stanley Mel- vin McCormack on a charge of "unlawful possession of a still.” N0 bill was found against Albert M. Bell on a charge of rape.

The Chief Justice in his charge to the Grand Jury, said he did not think there was sufficient evidence to justify it in bringing a true bill against Stanley Gordon Pursey for manslaughter. To do so, the jury would have to be satisfied Pursey had been driving i.n a reckless manner, and His Lordship said there was no evidence to show he had been driving at other than a reasonable rate of speed. As for the fact that he had returned to within a short distance of the ac- cident, the Chief Justice did not consider that as any indication of guilty knowledge, for evidence
