Reds Make New Bid For Naiionalists' Sympathy

LON' )N (Reuters) —- Commu- nist China today suspended shell- mg of Nationalist - held offshore islands for a week so that Nation- alists may ship in supplies—pro- viding U.S. ships do not escort them.

The Communists also renewed a proposal for talks with the Na-

tionalists “to effect a peaceful settlement."

The order to suspend shelling came from Communist Defence Minister Peng Teh—huai. It dates from today, the New China News Agency said in a Peiping dis- patch.

He announced his decision in a message to “compatriots in Tai- wan (Formosa)" at 1 a.m. local time today.

The minister said: “Out of hu- manitarian considerations I have ordered the bombardment to be suspended on the Fukien front for seven days starting from Oct. 6.

“Within this period, they will be fully free to ship in supplies on condiﬁon that there be no American escort.”

The minister added “we pro- pose that talks be held in effect a peaceful settlemen ” on the war which he said had been go- ing on “between you and us” for 30 years.”

Peng said: “We are all Chinese. Of all choices peace is best.

“The fighting around Quemoy is of a punitive character. For quite a long time your leaders have been far too rampant. They have ordered aircraft to carry out wanton raids in the mainland, dropping 1e a £1 e t s and secret agents, bombing Foochow and

Contacted last evening, Charles R. Greenough, Superintendent Canadian National Railways Is- land Division, refused to either deny or confirm the report.

“I have heahd nothing for pun- licity,” Mr. Greenough said;

Nine Negroes were admitted to previously all-white Clinton High in August, 1956, under a federal district court order. This touched off a wave of violent disorders which brought state troopers and national guardsmen to the scene.

Report Health Of Eisenhower ls Excellent

WASHINGTON (AP) -— Presi- dent Eisenhower’s doctors told him Saturday he is in excellent health — after three major ill- nesses — as he nears his 63th birthday.

The president checked out 'of Walter Reed Army Hospital on completion of his annual physical examination and, hustled straight to Burning Tree Club in nearby Maryland for a round of golf. The official report on the medi- cal examination of Eisenhower, whOse birthday is Oct. 14, was unusually terse. In contrast to previous bulletins in similar cir- cumstances, it provided no detail. The report said:

“Thle president underwent a complete physical examination, which included barium studies of the gastrointestinal tract and ap- propriate laboratory tests, at Walter Reed Army Hospital on Oct. 3-4, 1958.

“The results of these all-inclu- sive studies show that the presi- dent continues to maintain an ex- cellent state of health.”

The bulletin was issued at the White House.

OTTAWA turpentine hard- pressed cities and towns will call on the federal government to help them find new sources of revenue to ease the tax burden borne mainly by, property owners. '

In a two-day federal-municipal conference, a 25-member body of the federation of mayors and mu— nicipalities will spell out the needs of a growing urban population be- fore a cabinet group headed by Justice Minister Fulton. Prime Minister Diefenbaker will make the opening speech.

The mayors, led by federation president H. G. R. Mews of St. John’s, Nfld., worked all through the weekend in Ottawa’s new city hall mapping out their proposals

fidential, it appeared likely the thinking of the federation would be along these lines:

1. Present municipal revenue sources are inadequate. New fields must be opened up even if these require constitutional revi- sions. The municipalities have their eye particularly on the di- rect tax field—the personal and corporation income tax pot now shared by the federal and provin- cial governments.

2 .Interest rates have increased making it. costlier for the cities and towns to borrow heavy cap- ital needs to build more schools, hospitals, roads, sewers, water

The federal government could go a lot further in "eliminating the 10-per-cent sales tax on purchases by municipal administrations. The tax was eliminated on some pur- chases in the June 17 budget. 4.

Funeral Held Sunday Of Hon. C. A. Dunning

MONTREAL (CPL-Leaders in many walks of life today paid final tribute to Hon. Charles Avery Dunning at a funeral serv-

ice in Erskine and American United Church.

The man who twice served as federal minister of finance and was widely known in business died in hospital late Wednesday night. He was 73.

Among those at the services were Postmaster General William Hamilton, representing the fed- eral government, a nd Mayor Sarto Fournier of Montreal.

Mr. Dunning was a director of many of Canada’s leading corpor- ations and was also chairman of the board of directors of Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. Before entering federal politics in the Liberal gov- ernment of the late Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King he served as premier of Saskatchewan.

between New York, Paris and Rome Oct. 26.

BOAC had its giant new jet transports winging each way be- tween New York and London within a few hours after all red tape was cleared to permit such flights.

The eastbound Comet, Bravo, averaged 580 miles an hour with a top speed of 640 miles an hour non-stop to London.

Thus, in effect, the world shrunk another 40 per cent for civilian travellers. Regular flight time from New York to London is expected to average about 61/.» hours b, jet. Piston-engined craft take about 11% hours.

The westward trip will take a little longer because of head- winds. But the jets will make this, too, about 40 per cent faster than other craft.

PRAISE TOM PM I

The flights were praised by Prime Minister Macmillan in con- gratulatory messages to BOAC and de Ilavilland. “The whole na- tion takes pride in the fact that a British aircraft has led the world into the new turbo-jet age,” Macmillan said. ' ,

The jetliners are equipped to carry 48 passengers and fares will be the same as first class and de- luxe fares on ordinary planes.

Pan American plan-s its London New York service to begin Nov. 16.

Even after BOAC made plain it was going to stage a much faster hopoff, Pan American said it was still sticking to its original plans.

Both concerns have had planes ready for some time. However, they had to await tests of engine noise - supressor equipment de- signed to meet requirements at New York’s big transatlantic ter- minal, Idlewild Airport.

At Pierce’s Cash and Carry. the fire itself was confined to the rear part of the store, but .heat, smoke and water all con- tributed to the almost complete destruction of all the stock on the display area..

Reserve stocks stored on the uppe ﬂoor of the downtown gro- cery establishment also suffered considerable damage, Mr. Fulton Pierce, the proprietor stated. He estimated his loss at not less than . $20,000.

Fire Chief Jewell said that three pumpers were used to fight the Central Creamery blaze, and two were despatched to the Pierce grocery fire, but only one used. None of the volunteer firemen were injured he added.
