OTTAWA Sept. 6-(0?) —Prime Minister Mackenzie King. now ‘l0, will hand over leadership of the Liberal Party to some younger man sometime between now and Parlia- ment's dissolution four or live years hence and Liberals across Canada are giving thought to the fact a new chieftain must be chosen relatively soon.

To listen to the inner councils of the party at this writing, it would appear the names of Finance Min- ister Iisley, Justice Mixusicr St. Laurent and Defence Minister Ab- bott rank high in the list of 1310b- able successors. But. it must remembered, this is at this pre- sent time.

During the Federal election cam- p318“ inst, sprint! the Prime Min- ister said that would be his last clunpalsn. that he would retire from public life before dissolution of a new Parliament were his party elected to office. The Lib- erals were returned. And M1‘. King recently reiterated his 80110111911?» in his constituency of Glengnrry.

MONTREAL. Sept. 6 -- (CP) —-

An RAF Mosquito landed at Tor-l bay, Nfld., this afternoon to com- plete the first direct east-west trans-Atlantic flight by a twin- enginc aircraft since the war be- gan, and with a record crossing time of seven hours and two min- utes. The plane landed at Torbay Air- port. Just outside St. John's. Nfld» a few hours after the Air Ministry in London announced that the flight had been cancelled because of wea- ther conditions.

The plane was piloted by Wing Cmdr. Merryfield, and had Flt. Lt. Spicrs as radio-navigator (initials unavailable). RAJ‘. “ Transport Command officials here said the Mosquito came through “very bad lveathcr conditions" which included heavy fog and driving rain, to land at Torbay.

The plane put down at 2.46 pm E.D.T. (3.43 p.m. AD.T.) one min- ute behind her estimated time of arrival Shotook off from St. Mall- gons. on the southwest tip of Eng-

istry in London subsequently was quoted as nnnouncing the flight. had been cancelled because of weather conditions

Original plans had been for the Mosquito to land at the U.S. navy base at Argcnlia, Nfld., but this was later changed to 'I'orbay.‘ It was bo- licvcd unofficially here that this change brought nbout the report that the flight had been cancelled.

The flight gave mosquitos both tho cast-yvcst and west-east re- cords.

President

By C. l. BLACKBURN

WASHTI\"GTON_ sebt, 6—(CPi— President Truman today lndicatcdl his intention of sending a special; message to Congress seeking ap-i provol of the agreement with Can- ada for completion of the long- projected St. Laurence River and Great Lakes power and navigation development.

Answering a question at his press; conferenco. the President said he. had definite ideas on the project‘ and would make them known in a day or two.

In his message to Congress ear- lier today the President recom- mended a large program of public works-as a post-our cmploymont. measure and llsicd some specific‘ areas whcrc power developments should go forward, but he did not mention the St. Lawrence project.

Committed To Project

That omission. coupled with his press-conference assurance that he would have a statement in a ma‘.- ter of days, was interpreted as mefllllng he would make the St. Lawrence agreement the subject of a separate message.

Senator George Aiken (Rep-Val leading Congressional proponent of the development, told The Canad- ian Press he did not know what particular ideas the President was Plflnfllns to present but that he knew Mr. Truman was committed to completion of the project.

The Scnator said he was con. suiting with his follow Senate su - Dorlcrs of the agreement. in t e next day or two and that he was determined to get it before Con. gress 1n a matter of wot-ks,
