Today, Canada's surplus of po- tafoes was placed st 86 million bushels or ilve million more than nus estimated 10 days ago. Great pzcpinidcrallce of this surplus is 1r. the Maritlmes and notably 1n m» Province of New Brunswick.

it is calculated that while Prince EGWIITII Island will have a consid- PZJUIC exportable surplus, it will no: only be much smaller but lliljiil smaller in proportion to gross crop than that of New Brunswick.

Delay of action in the matter of price support, potato diplomats here say, will ensure ‘that there v.‘.'.l be no United States interfer- ence with the quota of two and a half million bushels of Canadian certified seed, now permitted to enitl’ the U.

A little later three of the largest of the seven bus firms ordered all restored service on their routes halted because of what they called the "ugly mood" of the dissidents. Extra police details were ordered to prevent any disorder.

As a result, many New Yorkers had transportation troubles in get- ting home tonight. Disgruntled workers stopped some buses which had resumed schedules, police said.

The walkout called this morning against the seven privately-oper- ated firms was aimed at the State Public Service Commission in a demand for payment of retroactive pay increases. The companies claim they cannot pay back wages until the P.S.C. grants permanent fare boosts.

by S. P. Paoli, Charlottetown.

The name of Mr. Eugene Cullen, M. L. A.. was also brought before the Convention but Mr. Cullen de- clined io be a candidate.

There were several warm ex- changes .upon Col. Chandler's mov- ing the Premier as a candidate. Mr. Roland McDonald. Southport, said the Convention would want as- surance that the Premier would accept the nomination if it were granted him. Col. Chandler and Mr. MacKinnon had moved and sec- onded the Premler's_ nomination but no one knew wliethér or not the Premier had given anyone authority to have his name come before the Convention.

Col. Chandler said he believed the Premier would accept it.

Mr. MacDonald said "believing" was not enough. If the Premier re- ceived the nomination as one of the two candidates to contest the County and refused it, there might have to be another convention. If the Premier would accept the nom- ination, he (Mr. MacDonald) would vote for him because the Premier had shown himself to be the farm- er‘s friend. But-he wanted defin- ite assurance.

Mr. Dugald MecKlnnon. M.L.A., said he was surprised that anyone‘ would doubt the integrity of such a mun as Col. Chandler-a man, Mr. MocKinnon said, who had as proud e record of military achieve- ment as any other man in the Province. Mr." MacKinnon said he knew the Premier would accept the nomination "because he told me so." has‘ "You heard Col. Chandler." Mr. MucKinnon continued. "say there was a strong possibility that, if the Premier were nominated, he would be our next Minister of Agricul- ture. I can subscribe to that belief. Moreover, if there ever was a time when we need to send real men to Ottawa, men of proven ability, to grapple with the complex prob- lems which will be confronting this Province and this country within the next two or three years, that time ls now."

Before the balloting got under way. Mr. P. R. McCormac was re- elected president of the Association with Alexander MacDonald of Braddlbane as vice-president. Mr. G. R. Holmes. K.C-. was re-elected secretary.

Mr. Preston Campbell, New Glas- gow. briefly addressed the meeting before nominations were called. He deplored the inadequate support given the Provincial Liberal Party by the local party newspaper.

Though there was an unusually largo attendance-scores were for- ced to stand throughout the eon- vention which was held in the Em- pire Theatre~there was little de- lay in the registering of the large number of delegates. Numbered tables were provided in order that delegates from any of the five Dis- trlcts might know where to pr-g- sent their credentials without any confusion

Resolutions expressing confl. dence in the Governments of Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Pre- mier J. Waltcr Jones were unani- mously passed es was one affirm- ing the confidence of Queen's County Liberals in Mr. J. Lester Douglas as their representative at Ottawa.

Mr. Douglas was first elected to the Dominion Parliament In April, 1938. He was re-eiccted in 1940 and again in 1945.

For several years Mr. Miller was chief executive officer in Char- lottetown of the War Labour Board and more recently had been en-

geged in pollilcnl organization work for the Provincial Liberal party.

ings In Ales itself.

Several of the troop casualties were reported by the Government to have been caused by the explos- ion of several mines as the scl- diers approached the pitheads.

ADead. Town

Eye-witnesses described Ales to- night as a dead town. .with all stores and public buildings closed and troops patrolling everywhere. In Marseille, a stronghold of Communist labor. metal workers. dock workers and trolley-car and bus drivers went on strike in sym- pathy with the miners.

The death of the striker. rais- ing to three the fatalities in France's three-week-old coal strike, came when the workers learned at 2 a.m. that the troops were moving in. They sounded sirens to mobilize the strikers who threw up road- blocks.

Sound-trucks led the soldiers and boomed out warnings that: "Troops for the maintenance of order have been sent into the Ales basin to save its mineral wealth. They will use arms to break up any attempt at revolt." Communists

and Government

b‘ sources disagreed on what happen-

ed then. Reporters were kept away from the scene.

The Government said machine- guns and hand grenades were fir- ed at the soldiers and police. and lend mines were exploded in front of the tanks.

MacMillan, leader of the Op- position, W. Chester S. McLure, M. L. A., Mr. Allison Profltt, presi- dent of the Farmer's‘ Federation and Mr. S. H. Burhoe, president of the Fishes-men's Federation. Before presenting the business of the meeting. the president welcom- ed its newest member, Mr. Yvon Boudrias, of American Can Corpor- ation and proceeded to state the purpose of the meeting: to draw up a draft brief followed by a supplementary brief calling for an auxiliary ferry service between Borden and Tormentlne to facili- tate truck and car traffic.

Presented Brief

Mr. Curtis celled on Mr. Walter Hyndman. a past president of the Charlottetown Board of Trade, to bring before the meeting a draft prepared by a committee consisting of Mr. Roy Holman (who had been detained on the mainland). Mr. l-Iyndman and Mr. Walthen Gaudet. secretary of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. _ Stating that the increasing truck and car traffic was too much for the ferries Abegweit and Prince Edward Island to handle, Mr. Hyndman read the short brief which traced, historically, the traf- flc services since Confederation, slated the present. situation and made specific recommendations. First to speak, Mr. Earl Hickey advised informing the government ‘that the two ice-breaking ferries were designed for railway traffic, but not for cars and trucks which were important for the tourist and transportation of Island freight. He suggested catering for the tour- ist trade with a "Highway Ferry" during the heavy traffic season. this ferry to leave each point at regular intervals of 1 1-2 hours. He believed that the blueprints for proper docking facilities for such a ferry should be included in the plans of the docks presently being built at Borden and Tormentine. In a brief speech. I-Ion.

Russians lleieot Allied Protest

BERLIN. Oct. N-(AP) — The Russians rejected tonight British- American protests that Soviet plan- es violated sir-safety rules by har- assing the Western Powers’ planes supplying bloeksded Berlin.

A. D. N., the Soviet-licensed German news agency, said the Rus- sians deny there is any four-pow- er agreement on flying rules in oc- cupied Germany.

The Russians rejected a long ser- ies of charges filed over a period of many weeks. Among the pro- tests:

Russian Yak fighter: planes flew dangerously near United States cargo planes in mock battles "buzz- ing" them.

Russian troops held anti-aircraft practice and Russian pilots prac-

ridor used by British and Ameri- can planes flying food and fuel to Berlin.

Other developments in Berlin to- day included:

1. The Socialist newspaper Tele- grsf saidhlgirGerman army offl- cers of Moscow's "free Germany committee." repatriated to take po- lice posts in the Soviet occupation zone. have begun desertlng to the West. The British-licensed news- paper said the "deserters" included a former general and two other high-ranking officers.

2. Air headquarters had no comment on a report in the Am- erican-llcensed Die Neue Zeitung quoting United States air-lift pilots as saying they had observed a number of Russian tanks and mo- bile guns in the Soviet zone. A headquarters spokesmen discount- ed rumors that the Russians were massing “crack Mongol troops" on the American zone borders.

S. German anti-Communist lead- ers told Western Berliners to re- sign themselves to hardships of a winter blockade and urged them to remain defiant under Russian pres- sures. It was the leaders’ reaction to Russia's veto of the Berlin com- promise resolution in the U. N. Se- curity Council.
