Counsel for the privately-owned company contended that, on the bB§l5 of 1949 rail operations. the railways should have had a freight-rate increase of 25 pea cent through i949 to overcome a dellﬂelwy between earnings and financial requirements under a formula laid down by the Board in its September judgment.

Spokesman for the Provinces, while they did not specify in the 00mins proceedings at what point rail rattx should be held. were evidently attempting to hold the ilne at the cight-per-cent rise granted by the board last fall.

At stake would be something between‘ $60,000,000 iiiin $70,000.- 000 a year. the estimated annual amount that would be yielded to the railways if they managed to get the full 20 Der cent.

Railway Witness

Only witness for the railways today. S. J. W. Liddy, C.P.R. as- sistant comptroller, was tackled by a battery of provincial lawyers on figures in his statement indi-

ieating a i049 "deficiency" in C.

P. R. earnings.

Cross-examining Mr. Liddy on an income-tax requirement figure of $(,684.000 in the

r. Rfs 1m statement to ti.‘ board, Maritimes counsel F. D.

Smith obtained from him the statement that the company actually expected to pay only 80001 $000,000 in income tax for that year.

However, Mr. Liddy said that

figure had been inserted in line with the Board's provisions for income tax for rate-making pur-

poses. Also. he declared. com- pany operations in deferred maintenance and depreciation

would bring about the same ef- fect as though the tax were paid.

"You are asking for income tax that you do not expect to pay,"

Bill Did N_ol Cause Present Warm Winter

By Howard W. Blakeslee Associated Press Science Editor WOODS HOLE, Mass. Feb 2-

(AP)—The Gulf Stream appearsto be slowing down.

'I‘ha.t is something which may affect the weather if it continues long, but nothing the Gulif Stream is flOillg this winter is a. cause of the unusual warm waves on the Atlantic coast

Dr. C. O'd. Iselirl, director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic In- stitute, which continually watches the Gulf Stream, said in a state- ment today: \

“I rather expect to find that the strca-m has slowed down markedly. which would mean that the rim-th- east trades have been weak. ltwili then be up to meteorologists to figure out why. It is larger dis- turbances of this sort that. irilflu- crlce our weather."

Dr. Iselin tells why the present warm winter is not from Gulf Stream changes

“If tllie Gulf Stream has been discharging warm eddies to the north of its usual course (that is. closer to shore) there is no reason to believe that would exert any marked effect on the weather at this season in the New York area. In winter, the prevailing winds are from the west, in other words, off- shore. The reason it has been so warm this winter is that so much of the time tlhe wind has been southwest rather than northwest.

“No doubt water temperatures along the coast are higher than normiail this winter. However. this is in all probability the result of warm winds rather than the cause."

Dr. iselin explained that east- erly winds. those coming off the water, probably are picking up warmth from the surface of the last few miles of water tlliey cov- er in reaching shore. Ln this warming effect he said. warm sur- face water brought in by the Gulf Stream can have little part be- cause that water is still too far from shore.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 2—(APl-— Senator Brien McMahon today proposed a. 350.000.000.000 Ameri- can peace crusade, involving eco- nomic ald to Russia and other countries, with the aim of “mov- ing heaven and earth to atop the atomic armaments race."

The Connecticut Democrat. chiilrmiin of the Joint congres- sional atomic committee, warned that in Russian hands the pro- jected hydrogen super - bomb "mlgm incinerate 541000.000 Am: QIlClIll in fha space of minutes.’

Later he told a reporter that when he spoke of such a vast mass slaughter: "I was thinking in terms not 0f a shuttle H-homl’ hut rather of n co-ordinated at- tack on the whole eastern sea- board."

And he told the Senate:

"At “mo” guy coat, we must anure. . .that the Russian people act a| part of the world it"? which brings in a verdict covering this monumental (atomic) issue.

"Ho had no choice, and his de- cision tinder present circumstan- cos is right."

However, McMahon added that in exchange for the, American 550.000.000.000 contribution toward world peace, the United States should ask general acceptance of an effective program for inter- national control of atomic energy.

Before McMahon spoke, Presi- dent Truman told a press confer- ence that he does not propose to use his go-ahaad odrar for de- velopment of the H-bomb as the basis for a new move on inter- national atomlc control.

McMahon proposed the follow- in: flireo- olnt program coating

Demands Backed By Federation

NIAGARA FALIS. Ont. Fob. .. - (C?) The Canadian Feder- ation of Agriculture today sup- ported poultry farmers’ demmda that the Federal Government be asked to increase price support for eggs from 38 to 42 cents a dozen at storage points.

C. F. A. directors agreed that the four-cent boost would still mean a loss to poultry farmers of several cents, based on the price before the loss of the British market.

The resolution did not reach the YOU‘ stage when it was placed or- fore the convention tit a public

'v session Wednesday.

At a closed all-day session to- day, directors also approved a res- olution asking that a floor price be set on poultry meats which, producers claim, have slumpaill badly since the drop in egg prices.

The hoard rejected in part the hog producers‘ proposal that a floor price of $36 a hundredtveiglit .be set for pork until July 1, scal- iing down thereafter at the rate of ‘$1 a month until the Government
