UP TO 14 INCHES

HALIFAX (OP) —- The Mari- times were a maze or slippery, dangerous highway-s Friday night after a snow blitz that dumped up to 14 inches of snow on the region.

Two men died in separate ac- cidents attributed to road condi- tions. There were scores of minor traffic accidents and dozens of tie-ups.

Henry Gordon Doige of New Sotland, N.B., was fatally in- jured when a tractor he was driv- ing swerved off the road and into a ditch. He was pinned beneath it. Dru-ggist Edwin Noonan, 34, of Musquodoboit I'Jarbor, N.S. died in a two-car collision 22 miles from here during the storm which swept the Halifax - Dart- mouth area all day.

Two volunteer searchers found William DeMone and his eight- year—old son Philip late Friday night about five miles from Dart- mouth, N.S. The two became lost Friday afternoon while looking for a Christmas tree. Searchers spotted their tracks and found them a mile in the woods. Neither suffered serious ill effects.

The weather office said the “Vicious” storm raged in from

Winds piled the snow into man- high drifts.

Western Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New ‘Bruns- wick received from one to three inches. _ . ..

The weather was expected to improve steadily during the weekend with cloudy and cold weather forecast for Sunday.

HALIFAX BEARS BRUNT

Transportation - wise, Halifax took the brunt of the storm. All airplane flights to and from the city were cancelled. Two trains were delayed, one by nearly three hours. Buses were slowed to a crawl.

Elsewhere in Nova Scotia only minor delays were reported in transportation schedules.

Two traffic tie—ups involved 100 cars each. In suburban Armdale it took police and highway crews to get the cars untangled.

A bridge near Chester, N.S. was wrecked when a transport truck crashed through the floor. A hundred cars trying to use a single-lane detour became bogged down while a bulldozer tried to broaden the Branch Road.

In Sydney, firemen fought three hours in a windhfblown storm to contain a fire in a bow storage room of the British freighter Dashwood. About $500 damage was caused before the flames were put out.

There was no interference with shipping schedules. Two vessels were cleared without difficulty Friday afternoon. None was due to enter port Friday.

In Newfoundland snow began falling at 8:30 pm. AST and 51x inches were expected over a‘ 24- hour period. No major accidents had been reported by late Friday night although some roads were in poor condition.

The storm blew into the south- ern Maritimes Friday morning and by noon covered Nova Scotla from Yarmouth to Sydney and had spread into Prince Edward

MOSCOW (AP) —- Neutral dip- lomats Friday interpreted the lat-

, est Soviet statement on the Ger-

man situation as a stern warn- mg to the Western powers against trying to reinforce their garrisons in West Berlin.

“I do not recall having read any stronger one in my time here of what will happen if Western powers attempt to break into Ber-

‘ lin by force," said one veteran

diplomat.

He was "eferring to the official Tass news agency declaration that any Western use of force to maintain access to Berlin would be met by Soviet force.

AT OPPOSITE ENDS

“It sounds, when reading the statement, as tho‘gh the Kremlin and the Western powers are talk- ing at completely opposite ends," said one ambassador. The West- ern powers want to discuss Ber— lin within the framework of Ger- man reunification. The Soviet Union rejects that suggestion. “In the face of that situation, anything can happen when the Kremlin carries out its threat— which I believe it will—to trans- fer its occupation powers to the East German regime next May." Neutral envoys said they were pessimistic about the possibility of bringing opposing viewpoints together before the end of the six- month deadline set by Premier Khrushchev last month.

“It looks more and more like we are heading for a new crisis in Europe, said one. “If the So- viet Union turns over its ocupa- tion powers to East Germany, and if threatened the East Ger- mans attempt to control or cur- tail the corridors between West

BY SANDY CAMPBELL Canadian Press Staff Writer MONCTON (OP) — Sixteen

w e a r y Maritime businessmen trooped Off a Maritime Central Airways plan-e here Friday night after a three—day junliet to sur- vey potential markets in the east- ern sub-Arctic.

Sponsored by Maritime Central Airways, the tour took the group to Frobisher Bay, N.W.T., and Goose Bay, Labrador. It was the second concerted effort to garner a bigger share of lucrative north- ern markets. Last year a group of Atlantic Provinces Economic Council directors visited Goose Bay.

The concensus Friday nigh-t was that the trip was a success. Most of the men said they planned to make another visit to the district next spring. Some have been doing business in the area for several years. For others it was the first trip to the barren but booming land.

The group left here in five- below - zero weather Wednesday morning. When the plane landed in Frobisher Bay, 200 miles be- low the Arctic Circle. the temper- ature was a comparatively balmy 15 above.

The Maritimers were enthusi- astically received by local busi- nessmen who looked at the prof- fered wares in a sample room set up in the transport department's terminal building.

SIX-HOUR SALES PITCH

After a six-hour sales pitch. the salesmen were Off to Goose Bay, 750 miles south. Some came away with orders. Most have prospects for business in the near future.

Doctor To Late Pope Barred .

From Practice

ROME (AP) —- The personal physician to Pope Pius XH Fri- day night was barred from prac- ticing medicine in Italy because he wrote and sold articles on the Pope’s dying hours.

Many Italians were outraged by the articles. ,

The decision was rendered by the council of the Rome Medical Association against Prof. Ric. cardo Galeazzi-Lisi on a ques- tion of professional ethics.

The doctor witnessed and min- istered to the Pope’s fatal strokes and death agonies in the papal summer palace at Castol Gan- dolfo.

CONSCIENCE CLEAR

He has said his conscience is clear and he felt he had not breached ethics by his disclo-

sures in the newspaper articles.

Pope Pius Xlil died Oct. 9 and has been succeeded by Pope John XXIII, who brought in a new medical establishment for him- self and Vatican City.

The council’s order of expulsion from membership, meaning Gale- azzi-Lisi can no longer practice in Italy, was the severest action it could take. \

The verdict was announced after the council met 21/2 hours to hear a member, acting as prose- cutor, lay down the charges and then call in and hear the doctor himself.

{'He can appeal the decision to a’ special appeals commission made up of doctors and magis— trates and he could carry the case to Italy’s highest court of
