A daily air service for sub- scribers of The Guardian in West Prluoe County was inaugurated yesterday with the much-sp- precisted cooperation of the Post Office authorities and the De- partment oi Transport.

First service of its kind in Can- ada, the airlift was carried out with complete success. Owing to the exceptionally favorable flying conditions in this Province. it is confidently expected that the ser- vice will be 00 per cent effective throughout the entire year.

For the first time in the history of West Prince County. a daily paper was received and distribut- ed along rural routes on the morning of publication.

Action is I Reversal Earlier Vote

WASHINGTON, April 2 - (AP) -The Senate over-rode adminis- tration leaders today and went on record against sending more than four more divisions of Am- erican ground troops to Europe without congressional approval.

'By a. 49-to-48 vote. it adopted a limiting amendment by Senator John Mt-Lellan (Dem. Ark.) and wrote it into a controversial troops-for-Europe resolution.

Administration leaders thought they had' disposed of the Me- Lellan amendment two hours ear- lier when the Senate voted 46- to--M to reject it.

But on a surprise motion to re- consider the action. the Senate voted 4940-43 to revive the amend- ment and bring it before the cham- ber again.

McLcllan's amendment varied only slightly from the wording of the pending Senate resolution. which approved President Tru- manls plan to send four divisions to join the international defence

force being raised under the command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Previously the -Senate defeated, 62-to-27, an amendment by Sena- ior Francis Case (Rep. S.D.) which would have forbidden the service of any American soldier under 20 years old in the North Atlantic defence force.

it also wrote into the resolu- tion an amendment by Senator Arthur Watkins (Rep. Utah) call- ing for elimination of provisions in the Italian peace treaty limit-A ing that country's military strengt.h.'

At start"of the session, admin- istration leaders blocked a move by Senator Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, Republican floor lead- er. to” change the nature of the resolutions so that they would become law if passed by congress. At present the measures are not

legally binding on the President.

Warns .. Against Danger Of State Paternalism

Jamaica. British Guiana Proiesl

KINGSTON. Jamaica. April 2 - (OP)-Two west Indian C0lOl'llE.s today bitterly protested what they described as plans by the British Government to grant sugar and cigar contracts to Chile.

Jamaica and British Guiana groups. working independently. said plans by the mother country to buy cigars and sugar outside the Empire would wreak havoc in the colonies.

Jamaica cigar manufacturers declared the industry would "face complete disruption." The Island's cigar export to Britain siresdyhas been forced down from 24.000000 to 9.000.000 annually in the last four years. Employment in the industry had dropped from 10,000 to 3,000.

Report Murder, Suicide In Nova Scotia Hamlet

siromsv ISLAND. N. s.. A ril 2 - (OP) - Eight white-fa d orphans stood silent tonight as police told an incredible story; of how their father matched a crutch from a crippled child. beat their mother over the head, killed her with a shotgun. and then drowned himself.

R..C.M.P. pieced the story gather from statements by the children and eyewitnesses who saw the last few minutes of the drama at this hamlet on Cape Sable Island. off Nova Scotia's southwest coast.

They said Duncan Ross. 55-year old fisherman. became embroiled in a vicious family quarrel after dinner Sunday. Its cause was not clear.

I-le seized a crutch from one of his children. a cripple, and gave his 38-year-old wife what they described as a "terrible" beating. He also attacked his 20-year-old

to-

son Forrest, the children said.

Mrs. Ross escaped to s bed- room and locked herself in. The enraged man then attacked a daughter, Cassie. who also re- ceived several blows before es- caping to seek aid.

When Ross found his wife's door locked. police said he grab- bed a shotgun and fired twice into the room. He then turned the gun on himself. and sent a blast through his shoulder.

The children said Ross then threw the weapon from him and began to race for the wharves. about one-quarter of a mile away. By that time neighbors in the district of some 400 were arriv- ing on the scene but he "shook off everyone in his path.”

Reaching the shore. he climbed into a small row boat. Deftly. he rowed about 200 yards from shore and plunged over the side before the eyes of more than a score of villagers.

His body was recovered today.

island M.P.'s To Participate in Election campaign

OTTAWA, April 2--(Special) - Scsrcely had they settled down in Ottawa after the Easter recess but Prince Edward Island mem- bers of the Commons today plan- ned' to pack again and revisit the Province for the forthcoming Provincial election campaign.

Watson MacNaught, parliamen- tary assistant to Fisheries Min- ister Mayhew and Liberal mem- ber for Prince, was optimistic over the election outcome. To- day he predicted that the Liberal Party under Premier Jones would be returned to power with on increased majority.

Mr. MacNaughi: said he had been asked to visit Prince County during the Provincial campaign and was glad to accept and to urge the public to return the Jones Government to power.

W. Chester 5. McLure. Pro- gressive Conservatlve member for Queen's said that he too had ac- cepted an invitation to return to Queen's County and Charlotte- town during the electoral cam- paign. it was a "shrewd stroke" on the part of the Premier to spring a snap election on the Provlnce, he added. but said that R keen Opposition is not easily caught napping.

Mr. McLure intimated that Federal as well as Provincial is- sues will be discussed on the hustings. This was inevitable. he said. since Federal and Provin- cial matters in Prince Edward island are so closely intertwined.

"This election." he told. The Guardian, "will give odr people a chance to say what they think of a Government policy whereby the potato-grower of Prince Ed- ward Island is forced into bank- ruptcy when the grsln-grower of the-West gets a bonus of 565.0(1).- OOO. It will also give our people a chance to register on the bal- lot how they feel about ever- mounting costs of living brought about by the senior government with which Premier Jones is affiliated."

T. J. Klckham. Liberal member for King's, was not in Ottawa today but is expected to reach the capital either tomorrow or Wednesday.

-Scotland Yard knows who stole the historic Stone of Scone from Westminster Abbey Christmas Day. but it still does not know where it is hidden. Chief Inspec- tor Owen McGrath said today.

Even the thieves may not know where it is. for it has L , J hands many times since they brought it to Scotland. he said.

Three men and a woman - all Scottish Nationalists - are un- derstood to have carried the 450- Dound lump of sandstone off Christmas morning. dragging it to a waiting automobile.

The Yard has enough evidence to bring them to trial but whe- thc the culprits should be pro- secuted rests with Attorney-Gem ersl Sir Hartley Shawcross and Home Secretary James Chuier

Gisww University students have threatened to stage a kilt snd bsgpips march on London if arrests are made. '

John Msccorinack. leader of the Scottish Covenant Movement. fore- cast today "very grave resent- ment" in Scotland if the thieves are arrested. He suggested a bar- gain. Why shouldn't the stone spend part of each year in Eng- lsnd and part in Scotland

Ground lie-lion Continues To Be limited

By ROBERT EUNSON

TOKYO, April 3 - (Tuesday) -(AP)-Chinese and North Ko- rean Communists are massing the largest number of fresh and sea- soned troops ever committed in the Korean war. Gen. Douglas MacAri.hui”s headquarters said to- day.

intelligence estimates figured the reinforcements at the front swell the Red potential to at least

83 divisions - more than 500,000. men.

For the second straight day. MacArthur's communique made

pointed reference to the Red massing movements. These were concentrated on the central front. where a. Communist spring coun- ter-ofiensive is expected.

But the comm-unique said the huge enemy potential was handi- capped by laying open communi- cations. supplies and troop move-

ments to attack by Allied planes.

The communique said:

"The enemy is engaged in a tactical and strategic regrouping of major units which. with the appearance of new units near the front. provide him with a poten- tial strength of at least 63 divisions. the greatest of any period in the Korean campaign.

"Compensating factors are the vulnerability of his communica- tions and his limited logistic cap- acity."

Ground action was limited large- ly to patrols.

American tank patrols ranged Monday almost two miles north of the 38th parallel. They fought off an hour-long Red ambush. and withdrew.

Field dispatches reported "sev- eral" American patrols kniied across the old political boundary. They maintained contact with a dangerously large Chinese il'I00P and supply concentration believ- ed to be building up for an of- feiisive.
