R s. Fishing Industr- Fac e s Difficulties

meeting West River Telephone Company will be held is Jul!

HAIJIFAX, July 18-(0?) -One of the two main cornerstones of Nova Scotirs economic structure. the fishing industry. was jarred tonight as spokesmen for the fish- ing companies talked of depression -taiung prices and a slumping market.

Such a Jolt has been dealt the industry they said, that reduction in staffs and temporary shutdown c1 plants were being considered by the firms. This was the first in- dication from any source that market conditions had deteriorated seriously.

The soo deep-sea fishermen, who r

in their SD-odd trawlers and drag- gers catch about $25,000,000 worth of fish annually for their employ- ers, already have taken a cut in prices.

Company and labor officials pointed out that neither the new 88.000000 fish order placed by the Government for European relief nor the Fisheries Prices Support Act would go far toward alleviat- ing the situation in the deep-sea industry.

W. Stanley Leeopubiic . ‘ations director for National Sea. Products Ltd, largest fish firm in Eastern; Canada. warned that the "market is in a chaotic condition" and said the $8,000,000 order foi- sslt and canned fish would stabilize the

‘inshore fishing industry for the

next year or more but that it would have little fect on the deep-sea. trade. l

Fresh Fish Sales Drop Fresh fish sales had decreased

more than 50 per cent in the last six months and United States

buyers were purchasing "only from hand to mouth." A south shore merchant said

that in recent weeks he had fo'und it practically impossible to sell. any large quantities of fish in his usual U. S. markets and that un- less he could find other buyers or the market altered he would have to lay oft many of his staff.

British Make Reply"

Complaint

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. July 13 —(AP)-British officials charged Saturday that Egypt was attempt- ing to break a legal treaty in n move to ensure dominance over the Sudan. , The officials disclosed that this would be the principal argument to the Egyptian demand for Uh- ited Nations Security Council act- ion to force "total and immediate" withdrawal of British forces from Egypt and the Sudan.

These sources said Sir Alex- ander Cadogan. Britain's chief delegate was prepared to answer the Egyptian complaint with a counter-demand that it bersject- ed by the council on the grounds that it is not justified.

The Egyptian complaint, which grew out of failure to revise the 1036 Anglo-Egyptian treaty which expires in i056, is not expected to

cil for at least one and possibly two weeks because of a heavy crush of work including the Bulk- an problem, establishment of an ‘international police force. dis- arm ‘ and ‘ ' of ‘ ‘ energy. . .

The Isylltlon appeal filed Iri- day with the Security Council charged that Britain had adopted a pplicy deflgned to sever the Sudan from Ihypt and create dis- cord between Ieybtlans and the Sudanese. .

British officials. in outlining rebuttal f0 the Egyptian demand, said they would show the ,"real point of issue" is Egypt's wish in ensure future dominance over the Sudan.

To Seek Secrets Df Mid-Atlantic

WASHINGTON, July 13 —(AP) - Preparations neared completion today for an oceanic expedition designed to wrest secrets of the earth's past from the depths of the mid-Atlantic.

The expedition will be a iolnt venture of the National Geo- graphic Society. Columbia Uni- versity and the Woods Hole (Mass) Oceanographic Institution.

Aboard the research ship "At- lantis" scientists will leave Woods Hole July 15 to survey a 50,000 square mile area of the Atlantic about equidistant between Ber- muda and the Azores.

Main object of the two-months venture will be to chart a section of the “Mid-Atlantic Rldge"—a long. s-shaped undersea mountain range which extends in a nearly continuous line from Iceland al- most to Antarctica. some of its peaks break the surface to form such islands as the Azores and Ascension, but the crest is at an average depth of a mile below the surface.

By means of "sounding" tech- niques. the scientists will seek to chart the subme god peaks and flanks, and any submarine can- yons which msy exist.

OTTAWA. July iI-l-tspeciall- Senator J, J. Kinley of Queens-- Lunenburg told The Guardian to- day that he would not retreat an inch from his position that men of Canada's wartime merchant navy are entitled to the veterans preference for civil service jobs. Barred from sharing this prefer- ence after a vote in the Commons last week men of the Merchant Marine found a champion in the person of the Nova Scotia Sen- ator who persuaded the Senate committee on civil service adminis- tration on Friday to amend the Commons bill so as to include Merchant Marine sailors as vet- . erans for civil service purposes. The bill comes before the Senate again on Monday night and Sen- ator Kinley says he will defend the amendment even if it throws the bill back to the House of Commons and prolongs the ses- sion.

Moreover, the Queen's-Lunch- burg Senator will seek support from all members of the upper chamber. including the four from Prince Edward Island.

Fears that another sex-murderer of the Neville Heath type is loose in Britain were expressed by Scot- land Yard operatives today.

“Mr. C." is the object, o1 5mg. land's Yard’s latest search.

He is svonted for questioning primarily in connection with the recent death of Inge Petersen. a 23-year-old Danish servant girl. Investigations have linked her death ivith at least 12 others which have followed the same pattern of assaults on women in their homes.

Miss Petersen's death occurred l0 days after she had been found, unconscious and gagged with her own underwear, in her employer's gas-filled kitchen.
