inquiries For Huge Orded 0i P. E. island Potatoes Fr om European Country Received

Inquiries for the purchase of 20,000 long tons or approximately 1.000 oarloada of Prince Edward Island potatoes have been received here from a European country. it was revealed laat night by Mr. 10.1). Reid. Manager of the Provincial Po- tato Marketing Board.

If such 3 deal were arranged. Mr. Reid stated. it was possible that both the Provincial and Dom- inion Governments might assist. in the way of a subsidy and consider such a move a partial means of price support.

He did not reveal the extent to which negotiations had proceeded. but said that nothing alon-g, the line of price agreement had been discussed."

Competition for the huge order. amounting to more than 700.000 bushels. is expected to be keen. Mr. Reid added. The same Europ- ean country imported ll similar amount of potatoes from the United States last year.

However. if the deal maberiallzen all sections of the Province will be given an opportunity to ship some potatoes. as every Island dealer will be consulted on the matter.

The Lrtmsactlon would be of great help in getting clear of a sizeablo portion of the Island's potato cmp. estimated at approx- imately 70 per cent of the 1949 crop from which 10,000,000 bushels were exported.

It would also provide the Gov- ernment. with an opportunity to provide partial price sunnort with- Lout-loae of havimt potatlierrfn their hands which they would have to dump next spring.

Mysteriiuis l Ice Falls From Slry Reported

LONDON. Nov. 28 - (AP) -The Air Ministry set up ”Project Ice- Bolt" today to find out if England is being bombarded by flying saucers-or what.

Reports of strange ice falls from the sky have been pouring in from many parts of Southern England for two weeks.

In Devon dozens of chunks whiz- zed down into a flock of sheep a fortnight a-go. killing a ewe. said the reports.

Last Friday a piece weighing five pounds crashed through the roof of St London garage.

Yesterday D. J. Tunmore said he saw a block 12 inches long and four inches thick plummet from the clouds as he was riding his motorcycle near Braughing. in lfcrtfordsh-ire. It landed. unbro- kcn. in a plot of grass only three feet from him.

About the same time. a one- pound brick of an odd transparent material bounced to earth in front of the home of R. M. Butcher in the Essex village of Stabbing.

"It is neither ice nor glass." Butcher told reporters. ''I dont know what it is."

The Air Ministry said the block which went through tlhe garage roof and the one which landed on Butchers lawn have been turned in and will be examined.

A spokesman asked everybody who finds one of the frozen thun- d-er-bolts to brin-g it in for exam- ination by meteorological experts.

The experts will analyze the blocks to determine whether they contain chemicals-such as airplane de-icing fluid-which would give a hint of their origin.

f'1jh onlyyrghylngg we can say quite definlely right now." a Ministry spokesman said. "is that these blocks of ice do not come from the Royal Air Force ai.rcra-ft."

Milk Production

OTTAWA. Nov. 28 - (CF) - Canada's September milk produc- tion totalled 1.531.000.000 pounds compared with 1,598,000,000 in Sep- tember last year, the Bureau of Statistics reported today.

This brought the nine-month

production total to 13.087.000.000 pounds. against 13.163.000.000 pounds for the corresponding period of 1949. The dairy butter make in Sep- tember was 3.604.000 pounds. ' decline of 10 per cent from the corresponding month of 1949.

The Bureau said all Provinces shared in the decline. except Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Brit-

England. are believed 4.000 years old.

LONDON. Nov. 28 -(AP) -The Commonwealth today proposed a 35.230.400.000 aid program to give 435000.000 Asians a better life and to don the spread of Communism in the Far East.

(AP! Chinese Communist troops, swarming like locusts along "every road. gully and ridgeline" in Si. widening break- through. threatened Tuesday to overwhelm

four U.S. divisions in Northwest Korea. Simultaneously. seven Chinese

Red divisions opened an offensive in the snows of the northeast front hzainst two more U.S. divisions. Two mysterious four-engined planes appeared over this from.

An estimated 200.000 Chinese and 70.000 Korean Reds were in the combined offensives,

Already their pressure had caus- ed four south Korean divisions to crumple. exposing the right flank of the retreating U. S. Eighth Army in the northwest. Dangerous holes were opened in the centre of the line.

Other Reds infiltrated bark of the lines. setting up road blocks. The main siippiy road to the north- west. front was meuaced.

Captured Chinese prisoners said the Chinese objective was to fight in Korea all winter "to destroy 50.000 or 60.000 Americans."

The critical battle-front develop- ments impelled Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur to summon his two top commanders in Korea to an emer- treney conference in Tokyo that lasted until 1:30 A. M. today.
