Terms will be discussed when Durelle and Shaban return to Montreal. The Moore-Durelle re- match has twice been curtailed, from July 1% to July 29 when Moore reported a bruised heel, and from July 29 to Aug. 12 when Moore’s wife became ill. SOMETHING IN WRITING
“I’m going to get something in writing when I return to Mont- real,” said Shaban. He would try to change the $15,000 guarantee and’ 20 per cent option for Dur- elle. Moore’s contract calls for a $175,000 guarantee and a 40 per cent option.
Durelle, who resumed glove work here Wednesday following a week’s layoff, said he’s going to end up losing money if the promoters don’t come across with more money that won't be .de-# =|ducted from his guarantee. So far, he said, $3,000 must come as | an” expense advance, plus close to $5,000.

The fiery premier called the election after Mr. Hollett and Rex Renouf, the only other P.C. member in the 36-seat House, op- posed his resolution condemning the federal government’s handling of Term 29 of the Confederation
agreement.
The Opposition leader predicted the Conservatives would form the next government. Candidates will contest aj 36 seats. Further de- tails of the Conservative. election campaign are expected to be known in a day or two.
The Liberals will contest all but three districts—St. John’s Fast, South and Centre. These will be contested by members of the Newly - formed Newfoundland party, which plans a limited cam- paign.
Newfoundland Party Leader James Higgins, who represented St. John’s East in the legislature dissolved Tuesday, predicted the Newfoundland party will form the official Opposition in the next House and make up the govern- ment of Newfoundland after the subsequent election.
He and A. M. Duffy. Newfound- land party member for Si. John’s South, will be seeking re-election.
Mr. Smallwood said Liberals will not run against Mr. Higgins and Mr. Duffy. They resigned from the Progressive Conserva- tive party July 20 to protest the federal government’s Newfound- land Grants Act. They voted for the premier’s resolution condome- ing Ottawa’s action.

Queen Elizabeth Liner Figures In Collision
NEW YORK (AP) — The a ury liner Queen Elizabeth, largest in the world, collided with a freighter in fog Wednesday in New York harbor. There were no injuriés aboard either vessel, although more than 2,000 lives were momentarily endangered.
The freighter, the American Hurter of the United States Lines,. stove a hole in the hull of the 83,000-ton Elizabeth above the water line.
With 1,959 passengers aboard. the queen of Britain's merchant fleet was forcell to return to her Hudson River berth for repairs. She was only about 90 minutes out of Pier 90, en route to Europe, when the collision occur-
red at 3:29 p.m. EDT.
It was just after sunset when the Queen Elizabeth returned to Pier 90, her upper decks crowded with passengers. A crowd of 2,-
000 was at the pier. Many were
friends of relatives of passengers.
As a scar from the collision, the Plizabeth had a five-foot dent with a three-foot hole on her_right side about 20 feet back of the bow.
Officials were hopeful that the damage eculd be repaired
s
quickly, perhaps even overnight. One of them said:
“If that’s all it amounts to, we might turn her around and leave tomorrow.””
The. American Hunter, 10,460 tons, suffered a two-foot indente- tion in her bow, also above the waterline.
Both ships were in pilot waters. where trained harbor. pilots di- their movements. And the
