Only FouP0f 50 Aircraft Able To Operate

A freezing rainstorm foiled a host of crack alrcrews yesterday in their search for a Dakota air- craft that vaniehed on a 700-mile charter flight to pabrador Satur- do:

The cream of rescue airmen; military and civilian, were ready for an all-out search 'but only four of 50 aircraft were able to take off because of the hazardous storm over the search area.

Three passengers and two crew members were aboard the twin- cnglned Maritime Central Airways transport that was last spotted- on a radar screen--near Chat- ham. N. B.. on its hop from Saint John to Goose Bay.

Names of Passengers

Fraser Brace Contractors Lim- ited today released the names of the passengers. They are: James A. Robb. 51, Wcstmouut, Quc., camp anagcr; David Hebert, Rcxton, .B.: and B. A. Kamln- ski, mechanic. recently arrived German immigrant.

At the controls was Capt. John Mcciatchle of Charlottetown. vet- eran of Northern Ontario bush flying. and J. E. Boudreau of Moncton was his assistant.

Continuing bad weather kept all but two search planes grounded last. night and those reported no success.

Weather conditions today were not expected to be good over the search area but the Air Force said all possible planes would be in the air.

Taking part in the operation,

which began Sunday when 28,000 square miles were criss-crossed, were planes of the United States Air Force. Navy and Coast Guard from Newfoundland bases. At least 10 bases are involved in the search, described as the big- gest in Maritime history. Para- rcscue and ground search parties were ready to go into action it needed.

Some 10 M.C.A. and Trans-Can- ada Air Lines planes were stand- ing by for improved weather. The disappearance marked the first time in M.C.A.'s 11-year history that one of its craft has been missing.

Top Transport Union Officer Is Expelled

OTTAWA. March 24-(CP)-A top officer of Canada's biggest transport union was expelled from the union today and the expulsion promised to have wider repercus- ona in Canadian Congress of

labor quarters. Thrown out of the 2li,o00-mem- bcr Canadian Brotherhood of

Railway Employees (C.C.l..i was James ll. Mccluiro of Ottawa. M- yaor-old secretary-treasurer and second-ranking officer, as the oil- max to a feud with a 71-year-old president A. it. Masher.

Mr. MoGuire's expulsion by the union's executive board. on in- Iubordination charges laid by the veteran president. was expected to stir up more scraps both at the C.l.R.ll.'s oonventio here in September and at the 0.C.L.'s Toronto con immediately after. .

Mr. Mother is president of the 0.0.1.. Mr. Ilcauire is is mem- bar of its-national executive. The two almost certainly will continue their battle before the 350,000- molnbsr congre0I' convention, un- lsl the issue has been patched up meantime.

One reason for the breach be- tween the two has been president Mother's retention of his C.B.R.E. offios six years beyond the age

when the union customarily pen- sions off its officers. The younger secretary-treasurer was in line for the presidency.

The disscnsion sharpened in the last few months following the Septembe convention of the QC. 1... where C. H. Millard. Canadian chief of the big United Steel Workers of America. pulled a vol.- ing coup in which he managed to overcome the wishes of a major- ity of the C.C.l... executive in some elections. Subsequently, the 0.0.1.. and U.8.W.A. presidents were reported to have come to a working agreement.

In the ace of that unity. the C. B. R. l:.'s official journal-edited by Mr. McGuire-cut loose with an editorial blast at Millard in its February issue. Mr. Mosher promptly dlsavowed the editorial and laid a series of charges against his union's secretary-trek our-cr.

The C.l3.E.E.'a executive board announced today it had found Mr. McGuire guilty of the charges in- cluding oirculation of false and misleading information. "villlilca- tion" of Mr. Mosher, "disregard- ing constitutional authority with- out proper npproval." and "gen- erai disregard for aupervisow au- thority."

Dr. R. G. Lee. chairman of the Board of School Trustees of Char- lottetown, yesterday announced the appointment of Mr. K.A. Parker. Headmaster of Mt. Allison Acad- emy of sackville, to be superin- tendent of Schools for Charlotte- town.

The necessity for such an ap- pointment Dr. Lea explained, has become increasingly apparent dur- ing recent years due to the growth of school population, and the re- sultant demands of administrative detail upon the School Trustees and the principals of the four city schools. The office of Superintend- ent has been created to take over much of this work and to act as an advlsor to the Board on education- al matters.

The recent survey of educational facilities and needs of Charlotte- town. conducted at the request or the Board. by Professor J.C. Mat- thews of Fenn Teacht.-rs' College. Cleveland, Ohio, pointed out this deficiency in the local set-up, and in an interim report to the Board, made such an appointment the first recommendation.

Native of Mulxnve

Mr. Parker was born in Mul- grave. N.S. and began his career, in education by attendance at the:

Superintendent Of Schools For City Schools Appointed

lic School. lie then attended Mt. Allison University-obtaining the degree of B.A., and majoring in

Economics. While at Mt. Allison, he served as a part time teacher at the Academy of Mt. Allison. For two years thereafter he taught mathematics and science at Am- herst Senior High School, then re- turned to Mt. Allison Academy where he taught the some subjects for two years.

In 1930. Mr. Parker was appoint- ed Principal of the'Canadiau Aca- demy, Kobe, Japan. where he re- mained for ten years-when Jap- an's foreign policy forced closure of the school in 1940. This school for foreign students was a primary and secondary school-Kindeiu garten to Grade x1'i1. using the curriculum of the Province of Ou- lario

During this period, Mr. Parker continued his studies in the field of education. In the summer of 1933 he attended the Harvard Graduate

15,000 In Demonstration Against Malan Govit

Pretoria

PRETORIA, South Africa. Mnr. 24-(AP) --Fifteen thousand op- ponents of Prime Minister Daniel Malan staged a tumultuous dc- monstratlon against the govern- ment tonight in the heart of Pre-

toria. South Africa's legislative capital.

Time and again government supporters using stench bombs

tried to storm the central platform where anti-government spokesmen were holding forth. Police restored order after an hour.

Cause of the rioting appeared to be the racial segregation polic- ies of the Malan Government which recently received a. sharp setback in the country's highest court. Anti-government spokesmen scored Malan and his followers for their proposals to- counter the

. court ruling.

The court of appeals last week declared unconstitutional a law passed a year ago cutting to the bone the voting rights of 1,000,000 mulattoes in Cape Province. The demonstrators shouted angrily that. the government is trying to over- rule the court after it had held that Malan and his supporters were trying to tamper with the constitution without having a two-thirds majority in parlia- ment.

The anti-government speakers were interrupted repeatedly when nst. fights broke out in the crowd.

It was the biggest mass demon- stration ever witnessed in Pro- toria.

Plan Revival Of Wartime Meal Board

OTTAWA, March 04 -(OP) - The Federal Government maysoon take direct control over all sur- plus meat in osnads. it was learn- ed today. '

Concerned over a mounting sur- plus. federal officials have a plan in the making to revive the war- time government meat board with power to buy up all surplus meat and dispose of it as best it can.

The loss. if any, will be borne by the Federal Treasury and the Canadian taxpayer. But it may lead to the restoration of the free movement of livestock and meats between provinces. .

Informants here believe various provincial restrictions are aimed not so much to prevent the pos- Slble spread of foot-and-mouth disease from South Saskatch:-wan as to block movements of surplus meat into local markets with dis- rlslrous effect on prices and local iuclustry.

A decision to revive the board may be made ll'ill'lin a wezk. With it may possibly come an extension

,of the governments price support from pork to beef and lamb. There still is no indication just where the floor prices will be fixed.

Po rk Program widened

Meanwhile. Federal officials dis- .closed that the government's ,illlliili price-support program for pork has been widened to cover cann:d pork and the floor on this product has been set at about 63.8 cents a pound.

This is equivalent to the gov- ernment): floor of S26 a hundred- ucight for live hogs. The move to stlpporl. canned pork was taken b:cuuse United States crnbargoes on Canadian livestock and meats. imposed after the foot-and-mouth outbreak was announced. do not include canned meat.

The move also was taken be- cause the growing stockpile of pork was taking up about all the storage space available in Canada and the country was facing is crit- ical storage shortage. Most canned products do not require cold-stor- age. But whether Canada able to dispose of the canned product in the U. S. and other countries is another question. At the moment, the price for canned pork in the U. S. is lower than the Canadian price. -

OTTAWA, March 24--(special) --An agreement has been signed by the Government of Canada and the Government of Prince Edward Island from 1951-52 to 1955-56 for a joint program of re- forestatlon of waste land in the Province. '

This was revealed in the House of Commons this afternoon by Resources and Development Min- ister Winters in reply to a ques- tion asked by T. J. Kickham, Lib- eral Member for Kings.

Under the terms of the agree- ment, Mr. Winters said, the Fed- eral Govcrnment will pay no: more than 57,500 per year in the reforestation program for 1951-52 and 1952-53. Annual amount to be paid in subsequent years, he said, lS subject to negotiation.

Mr. Winters did not specify the areas where the reforestation pro- gram will be carried out nor what species will be planted on the non-agricultural lands.

To Be Decided

It. is understood that these and other details will be decided upon by Provincial authorities in con- sultation with technical experts of the forestry branch of Mr. Win- ters' Department of Resources and Development.

Mr. Kickhamls question and the Minister's reply proved of unusual interest to the House in view of the increasing interest in all Pro- vinces in forest conservation and reforestation. While Dominion- Provincial eo-operation in tree- planting has won widespread ap- proval even in the timber-rich Province of British Columbia, many lumbermeu and pulp and paper executives claim theFederal Dpartmcnt is not doing enough to meet depletion of the country's wealth in timber and pulpwood.

Progress of the Prince Edward island reforestation plan will be watched closely by other Provin- ces.
