correspondent Jim Becker on the western front the Communists "can hit us anywhere, at any time, in any strength." one general predict- ed the Allies could stop any new Communist offensive.

Most intelligence sources placed the kickoff date for the new Red offensive as the second week in July.

Presumably it would come in the event the Soviet-proposed cease- fire proposal, unofficially endorsed by Red China, hits a snag.

Large Naval Force?

The U. S. chief of naval operat- ions, Admiral Forrest Sherman visited frontllne marine units on the battlefront and made a cryptic statement to AP correspondent George A. MtcArthur. America's top naval officer said:

"Certain things could arise for which we would need a larger (naval) force. Some things would cause me to increase our forces."

conceivably, the appearance of Red submarines or an expansion of the blockade mission U. N. war- ships now perform around Korea's

eastern and western coastline would-

require larger forces.

Becker reported the Reds still were. pouring men and supplies into the central buildup area, just north of the tip of the iron triangle at Pyonggang. seemingly the Reds were aiming R drive on this north- south axis along the old UlJongbu-

,Scoui invasion corridor.

Power Companies Win Tax Appeal

O'I'I'AWA, Julie 2'! -- (CF) - The Income Tax Appeal Board, in judgments made public today, sliced more than 31,000,000 from the 1947 taxable income of nine Quebec Power companies.

The board ruled that Quebec education tax payments made by the companies were deductible from their taxable income for

Federal tax purposes. thereby overthrowing the assessments made by the National. Revenue Department.

The board held that the Que- bec tax is not specifically a cor- poration tax under parliamentary statute and so is a proper deduc- tion from a company's Federally- taxablc income.

Indication; Zero Hour Near For Operation Exodus

TEI-IRAN, June 27 - (CP)-The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company today shut off the p'umps in the Aghajari oil fields and started calling in British field technicians to Abadan for the zero hour of ”operatloris exodus."

A British cruiser and a. landing ship stood offshore not far away from Basra. Iraq. just across the border from the southwest corner of Iran. British jet fighters whined ov- er Shaiba. just a few minutes flight from the refinery port of Abadan in same area.

The zero hour might come to- morrow. Britlsh oil technicians to- day unanimously snubbed an Iran- ian appeal to break with the Brit- ish-owned company and work for the Iranian National Oil Company, formed to implement the national- ization of the huge concern.

U. S. Appeal To Iran

In Washington, State secretary Dean Acheson told a congreuional committee that the United states

the crisis. Later he issued a. state- ment urgently appealing to Iran to reconsider its action and allow un- interrupted production and ship- ment of oil. '

The Iran oilfields produce a sub- stantial part of the world's oil and much of the Royal Navy's fuel oil.

Premier Mohammed " "' 11 called 9. cabinet meeting tonight. His Government is checking the pos- sibility of getting other foreign technicians to replace the Britons.

A dispatch from Rome said a. high official of Italy's state oil monopoly, Count Ettore Caraffa D'Andria, is visiting Iran with the approval of the Italian Government. Italian oil men predicted he might be offered the leadership of Iranian National.

Some officials of the biliion-dol- lar A. I. O. C. expect word fromi London within 24 hours-unless there is an unforeseen break in the oil-nationalization dispute-to ab- andon its holdings and evacuate this sun-baked hotspot.

Authorities here say the operat- ion, planned days ago, could take out all the remaining 2,800 British employees within 73 hours.

All have packed up. The last plane-loads of wives and children left Iran this morning.

Besides these precautions, Brit- ian has warned that it is ready to protect British lives and property if the seething public temper turns violently against them.

OTTAWA, June 27- (CP)- A atone causeway spanning Nova Scotia's Strait of Conan has been recommended in the report of a board of engineers scrapping previous plans for a bridge across the strait.

Prime Minister -.St. shouting above a noisy uproar. ac- cused the Progressive Conservative leader of "Smear" tactics and of- fered to have at Commons com- mittee investigate the charge.

Mr. Drew, who had criticized the way contracts were awarded to what he called a "family com- pany" of Mr. Howels family, call- ed for a royal commission to in- vestigate. He rejected any inquiry by is "Muzzled" House committee.

Charges, Counter Charges

The Prime Minister and Mr. Drew, glaring at each other across the chamber. hurled charges and

and Progressive

The clamor subsided as sudden- ly as it had arisen, with no action taken.

The storm brewed out of a refei-- ence to Mr. Howe by the Pro- gressive Conservative leader in a free-time political speech over the CBC last night.

Mr. I-Iowc. he charged. "has ar- ranged Government contracts with his own family, C. D. Howe Com- pany Limited, which wiil give that

Company more than s500,000 in fees." "These contracts," he added.

"were secretly arranged without tender and without competition."

Mr. Howe was out of earshot, enjoying a brief Maritime holiday. when his "friend and neighbor." Rev. Dan Mclvor (Ir-Fort Wil- liam) asked at House opening that Mr. Drew withdrltw the charge.

Demands Fomlnlssiion

Mr. Drew declined and addeti fuel to the fire by demanding a royal commission be established to investigate the transactions of the C. D. Howe Company.

The Prime Minister entered into the fight with a charge that Mr. Drew was using "smear" tactics. Mr. Howe had severed his coil- nectionn with the C. D. Howe Company in 1935.

If Mr. Drew had had any charge of wrong-doing in connection with Government contracts, the thing to do was to place the charge be- fore the House where it could be investigated by a special com- mittee or by the public accounts committee.

The public accounts committee, countered Mr. Drew. was "muz- zled." It never inquires into any- thing "which the Government does not want examined." 4

At times the voices of both the Prime. Minister and Mr. Dreiv were muffled by shouts of "sit down. sit down," "Order. 0l'deI' and prolonged desk-thumping.

Mr. St. Laurent recalled that the matter of contracts had been brought up before. 'Mr. I-Iowe'a atntement that he had had no con- nections with the O. D. Howe Company since 1935 had been ac- cepted. I
