ports in the future. New zealand. has maintained it negotiated to sell the 10,000.00 pounds to private trade in Cana- da. when the government stepped in, setting itself up as the sole authority empowered to make im- ports on and after Aug. 1. Canadian government negotiators, empowered

butter by the cabinet to buy 10,000,000 pounds of 'butter to offset a. possible short- age next winter, said they would have purchased more from New zealand, but the price was too high.

They made up the difference by buying 7,000,000 pounds from Europe. In addition, private trade in Canada purchased 4,500,000 pounds, also from Europe. before the ban went into effect.

This makes a total of 14,500,000 pounds imported by Canada, con- sidered sufficient to fill the pos- sible gap next winter. Canadian officials have made it clear they're not interested in importing more butter.

They said they obtained butter from Europe at about 61 cents a pound. The butter from New zea- iand, they said, cost sacents a pound, plus a tariff of five cents.

anyiamaicans eed Assistance

TORONTO, Sept. 12-(CF)-S. G. Fletcher, managing director of the Daily Gleaner. Kingston. Jamaica, said today thousands of Jamaicans will have to be fed and housed at public expense for months as a result of last month's hurricane which left 25,- 000 homeless and caused S50,000.-

000 damage. "We have an emergency and we must seek help," he said.

"Four hundred thousand coconnut trees were destroyed . . . the 38,- 000,000 banana crop is a complete loss."

Mr. Fictchcr. here on business arrived yesterday to find that 5100.000 nircady had been donated by Canadian business firms to help his island recover from the hurricane.

Mr. Fletcher said drownings were responsible for as many of the 150 casualties in the hurri- cane in flying debris. The heav- iest rain that ever fell on the is- land-17 inches in five hours-- mused widespread flooding.

He told of one man who led his family to a road after his house wns flattened by the winds. The whole family stepped pnwlttlngly into a deep cave-in caused by the rains and the man was able to save only one child.

That happened "hundreds, of times in the course of a day," he said. "Those are the people we have to help." lie said he was impressed with Canada's response to Jamaica's need and added: "in Jamaica, we were very grateful to the Jamaica Republic Service Company, ii Canadian-run hydro service. which got our lights operating again very quickly."

Attlee Keeps Party In Dark Over Election

-AA

By Fraser Wlghton

LONDON, Sept. 12 -(Rcuters)- The Labor Party national exec- utive met today with fall election prospects uppermost in their

vsmlnds--and parted completely in

the dark about Prime Minister Clement Atl.lee's plans.

Attlee, in bed with a slight--and sudden--attack of lumbago, ex- cused himself from the meeting. it is up to him to time any elect- on.

A majority of the Labor leaders appear to think a fall election likely, but from his slckbed the Prime Minister preserved tantaliz- ing silence.

So the executive got on with its job of setting the stage for the party annual conference at Scar- borough next. month--not know- ing whether the conference speeches will launch an election campaign or stall it until next year.

Some Labor leaders are said to be writing two different speeches as a protection against unforeseen events.

Atlee's indisposition saved him from what- might have been an embarrassing session. As he was not there, the executive apparcntlv decided it was unrealistic to talk about elections, particularly as Herbert Morrison. chief party strategist was also absent. Morri- son Foreign Secretary is in Wash- ington.

The meeting, possibly for the same reason. escaped any further serious clash between executive rightwlngers and the Bevanlte leftwing crowd which wants arms out and other changes in govern- ment policy.

An inquest has been called for Monday afternoon in the City Police Court to inquire into the death of John Kenneth M8CC:1i- lum, son of Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Maccailum, St. Peters, who was killed in a highway accident Tiles- day.

Aimed AT Keeping Reds Off Balance

By John Randolph

U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS, Sept. 13 -('rhurs- day-(AP) - Allied lnfantrymen, supported by flamethrowers, tanks and planes. drove slowly north- Ward Wednesday in limited ob- jective attacks among the endless hills of Central and East Korea. They met some of the stlffest resistance of recent months. The Allies ground forward along parts of an 80-mile front. It stretched from the iron-triangle sector in the west-central front to the Sea of Japan. The Allied objective was to keep the Communists off bal- ance.

Gen. James A. Van Fleet, Eighth Army commander, told reporters during inspection of 11. S. 25111 Division troops on the west-central front that there are no prcsent indications the Red armies are ready to launch an offensive, despite the recent communist buildup.

This sccmed to contradict a statement by Gen. Matthew B. Rldgway's headquarters in Tokyo

last week that events in Korea "suggest. the possibility of a forth- coming air and ground offensive by the enemy."

Possibly the difference was only in time-Rldgway thinking in terms of weeks or months. and Van Fleet. in days.

Heavy Red Traffic

Whatever the opinions, there was evidence of an uninterrupted Red buildup. There was huge truck traffic in North Korea, slacking off slightly only in the

Finc summer weather prevailed yesterday for the annual Egmont. Bay and Mont Carmel exhibition and there was a very large crowd in attendance and the usual fine exhibits of livestock, farm produce and handicrafts were on display. The fair was declared officially open by His Honor, Lieutenant- Govcrnor T.W. L. Prowse and the crowd was addressed by other prominent speakers as well.

The sheep exhibits elected the highest praise from the judge, Mr. H W. Clay. livestock field man of the Federal Department of Agric- ulture. He said that it was the best exhibit of sheep he had ever seen at this exhibition, both in quality and quantity. This was particular- ly true. he said, of the stock show- lng a percentage of Cheviot breed- ing. The Cheviot market lambs were outstanding. He explained that his department is carrying out an experiment in this area which started four years ago when 10 Cheviot rams were brought in for it cross-breeding experiment. He said that very satisfactory results have been obtained and this is the only place in the Maritimes where this is carried on. The champion ram was owned by Mr. Eric B. Arsen- suit, of Urbanville.
