Passengers Balk On Leaving Ship

NEW YORK (AP) -A little thing- like a collision at sea didn't per- turb passengers of the luxury liner Maasdom-until it hit them in the pocketbook.

And then. . . .

A typhoon was nothing compared in the storm the Maa.sdam's crew sailed into from furious immen- gcrs, angered when the damaged ship returned to port Sunday and they were told they would have to pay hotel bills.

More than 100 passengers went on a sit-down strike in the pllml surroundings of a lounge on the promenade deck. Five hundred other passengers left quietly.

The strikers said they had paid for their quarters aboard ship and they didn't see why they should get off and go to a hotel at their own expense.

PLEAD WITH PASSENGER!

In vain, officials of the Holland- America lines. operators of the Maasdam, pleaded that it is a- gainst sanitary regulations for passengers to his aboard ships in drydock.

And the Maasdam, her starboard now damaged by it collision Satur- day night with a French freighter )ut of Montreal, had to get along ",0 drydock for repairs.

The dispute followed an an- nouncement that the line would arrange hotel reservations in New York until another passage could be obtained-but that the passen- gers would have to pay the bills.

Finally Holland-America surren- is-red. It offered to pay 320 sub- sistence for each adult and 810 for each child pending she sailing of the line's Ryndam Oct. I3.

Hours after the fun; started, the Maasdam weighed anchor at Ho- boken, NJ, sird headed for re- pairs at H. Brooklyn shipyard. At last report there still were oifout 20 passengers holding out.

BLAMES FIIEIGHTER.

The 15,000-ton Maasdsm left Ho- aoke-n Saturday. Near Nantucket ightshlp off Rhode Island, only 150 rnilea from port the Maasdam and the S. 5. Tofevo collided.

The movie-ironically, ity Jane"-was playing time. Nobody was hurt.

The Man.sdam's master. Capt. J. B. Van Gaart. blamed the col- ilslbn on the freighter, saying it suddenly changed course.

Seek Soluiio To Building On Perma-frosl

EDMONTON (CP)-I-low do you build permanently on perm; . frost?

The National Research Council, Condl-ICUHK experiments at a pgr. ma-forst research station at Nor- man Wells, N. W. T., hopes to answer that question by the time large-scale development gets un- der way in Canada's far north.

The phenomenon of perma frost - permanently-frozen ground -has not been a big worry until now since a good number of the norih's buildings have been oi tem- porary make.

it is rock-like and can support heavy structures. when left frozen But it becomes a major construc- tion problem when top soil and moss are removed for a large building and the building is heated. The perma-frost then starts melt- ing.

"This produces I foundation ground not far removed from liquid," says J. A. Phihlainen of Norman Wells and Montreal, who is doing the experimenting for the research council.

SEASONAL WORK

He is conferring here with fed-

eral offlcials before continuing to Ottawa to prepare reports for the council. His work at the Norman Wells research station is seasonal, stalrting in April and ending in the 3 . The experiments have been in progress since 1952, but Mr. Pin- lalnen said in an interview: ”We are still feeling our way. We're still engrossed with the develop- ment of suitable equipment for the experiments."

Soil samples and frozen cores are taken throughout the north and shipped to Norman Wells. 900 miles north of Edmonton.

Depth of the perma-frost. insul- ated by top soil and moss against the short summer's brief thaw in the north. varies greatly but Mr. Pihlainen says generally speaking it is in a wedge shape. It is thick- est at the far north and thins to- ward the south where summers are longer and warmer. THICKNESS VARIES

At Resolute Bay. l,00O miles northeast of Norman Wells, it has been found in thicknesses up to 1,000 feet. At Norman Well: it is about 150 feet thick while It Hay River. N. W. T., 500 miles to the south. it is found in sporadic "islands" about four feet thick.

"Very little was known about the perm:-frost problem then and conventional construction methods were employed," Mr. Pihlalnen says. Perm:-frost was an import- ant factor in the relocating of the Arctic town of Aklavlk to a spot 35 miles east of the present town- site and also provided a big head- ache during construction of the Alaska highway.

Thinks Canada lovely Couniry

LONDON (CP)-The Archbishop of Canterbury returned from Can- ada and the United States Man- day and said: "Why a lot more people don't emigrate to Canada I can't think."

"Its such a. lovely country and' is on the edge oi immense develop- 1 ments." said the archbishop, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, who with his wife has completed a 12,000-mile trip which included the World Council of Churches at Evanston, Ill.. and 25 days in western Canada.

MoniF&lTrl" Fasl Becoming Top Inlerpreleri i

By DOREEN BEDARD Canadian Press Staff Writer

MONTREAL (CF) -A pretty. young Montreal girl who took up the study of languages after set- ting out to learn medicine and science. is fast becoming one of the top Canadian interpreters.

She is Andree Francoeur. a 23- year-old blond whose talents al- ready hsve been recognized by the Quebec government. This week she leaves for Geneva to study at the School for Interpreters there on a 31,200 provincial scholarship.

Andree already is an expert in English and French. At present she is studying German and Spanish and hopes to add them to the list of mastered languages soon.

But five years ago she hadn't given languages any consideration as a career.

STARTED IN MEDICINE

when she graduated from Maria- de-France College here in 1949. she had made up her mind to study medicine. She enrolled at University of Montreal but after a year, her interest in medicine pulled and she transferred to Me- Gill University to study science.

It wasn't until 1952 that she be- came interested in languages and registered for a new course offered at the University oi Montreal - then the only advanced translation course at the university level in North America.

After completion of her course. she started working for groups that needed translators for their conventions. Among those whose speeches she has translated are former United States vlce-presi- dent Alben Barbley and the for- mer Lord mayor of London.

In addition in her regular work. Andree has found time to start on a thesis on musical terminology. She is also compiling a glossary of terms used in the plumbing and heating business. '

After completing II year's study in Geneva. Andree may go to Paris to work as an interpreter for a world brotherhood conven- tion.

Would Revise U. S. Workmen's Compensation

QUEBEC (CP) - An American doctor Monday called for a drastic revision of workmen's compensa- tion laws in the United States that allow disabled workers to get med- ical treatment only for limited per- lads and at limited cost.

Dr. Alexander P. Aitken, chair- man of the sub-committee on in- dustrial relations of the American

,College of Surgeons. said disabled :WOTkEl'S should be fully paid not

only for all medical treatment. but for job retraining needed to get them back to work.

Dr. Altken was addressing dele- gates to the five-day. 40th annual convention of the International As- sociation of Industrial Accident Boards and Coinmisslons meeting here for the first time.

The statements were included in an advance text of his speech.

Dr. Aitken said the basic con- cept in an improved workmen's compensation system should be the return of injured workers to work. The settlement of accident cases on the basic of cash awards alone does not meet the needs of the workers and their families.

”Ilo attempt is made to see that sdequate medical care has been obtained, or that physical and vo- cational retraining services are procured when needed."

He said the American Surgeon! college sub-committee recommends that compensation services set up a panel of impartial medical ex- ports to determine how much med- ieal care an injured man needs. for how long if. time he needs it. and whether or not he will need job retraining.

The cost or Job retraining should be borne by industry or the state

comed delegates to the convention. He said that between now and

adinn provincial comlpensatlon board should. compare it: lnws with the association's standards and amend them to conform with the standards if possible.

.Canadian Wheal

U. K. Millers Slill Prefer Hard

LONDON (GP)-United Kingdom millers still prefer hard Canadian wheat, and thereby hangs a con- siderable problem for the country's agriculture.

Demand and price i'or'favorlte Canadian wheats appear to be holding firm in the recently-freed UK. grain markets despite the new harvest. Millers are paying 56 to 27 a ton--37 l-3 bushel.I-- more for Canadian milling wheat than the best home-grown varia- ties.

British farmers, urged in the last few years to grow more of most produce, are dismayed at the top prices being offered them for wheat. These have ranged from :17 to :21 a ton and the govern- ment stands to pay heavily under the deficiency payments scheme which guarantees farmer: 129 a ion.

The UK. Wheat harvest may exceed 93.000,000 bushels this year despite the wettest in 50 years. some estimates say. Yet prospects are that British Millers will ab- sonb only 3-stha of the harvest-at prices only two-thirds of the guar- anteed amount.

Canada's long-dominant position in the UK. market, largest in the world. still is firmly fixed on U.K. milling demand for her hard, smooth-skinned wheat, high in protein content. This is the when producing the flour that British bakers like, and home - grown wheats can't compete. The alter- native British market is for feed.

As generally expected. Canadian wheat purchases perked up this summer when the last govern- .ment-bought. stores were dissipated ,in the markets. freed last year.
