Labrador Forest Fires

By ROCK SHULSTAD Canadian Press Correspondent GANDER, Nfid. ‘(CP)—Officials

of the provincial resources de- partment here said Wednesday forest fires that swept through auobt 200 square miles of vala- ble Labrador timber during the

der control. Deputy Minister Pp. J. Murray said the firefighters in the still- smoldering fire area ‘‘are in an excellent position to jump fast on any other possible outbreaks.” ‘| Mr. Murray was interviewed 4 here after spending five days at

Appear Under Control

“phey did a magnificent job in controlling the spread of fires, under the most extreme condi- tions,’ Mr. Murray said. WORST IN HISTORY

The fires were descrived as. the worst in Labrador’s history; It is believed. they were started by lightning.

Chief forester Charles Cahill, who accompanied Mr. Murray, said westerly winds reaching 35 miles an hour fanned the flames into long fingers which jumped over patches of standing timber and ignited other sections of the woods.

"Mr. Murray gave much of: the credit for the successful firefight-

country.”

“This is the first time we have

been subjected to. fires of this type—in remote and virtually in- accessible country,” he said. - “The experience had taught—us} a great deal. We have gained new and certainly more practical methods of forest fire control. We have found how to get men into a fire area fast, with enough equipment to prevent spreading of fires.

“Where speed is so essential,) sma?! ‘mobile firefighting crews ‘can land on lakes in large air- craft and be airlifted :nto a fire

By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Despite economy recovery, the

United States has plunged deeper into debt.

That's the basic factor under-

_lyimg President Eisenhower's ex-

pressed- belief there can be no major tax cuts during the 16 montis that remain in his term of office.

The president is deeply con- cerned over the threat of infla- tion. He -also is concerned that his government is finding it in- ereasingly difficult to: raise long- term_loans ‘without paying watt yields.

The gross national debt of the

US. now totals about $287.0 00,000. This works out to the ‘equivalent of about $1,600 for

every American, a tremendous rise from the equivalent of just $16 a person,a half century ago. RECESSION HURT

The recession, of course, sliced into government revenues, just as it sliced into federal revenues in Canada. Now the U.S. govern- ment hopes it will be able to balance the books in this new fis- cal year which started July 1 and to build up a little surplus next year.

But no one knows what the cold |

It is time, says Eisenhower, | that his administration started} paying off some of the huge na-; tional debt. That couldn't be done | until a budget surplus mgterial- ized.

Meanwhile the government es- timated that in the next fiscal! year, interest charges on the na- | tional debt alone would amount | to some $8,700,000,000, about 1'2 times the size of. Canada’s entire | federal budget.
