The RCAF did not indicate what field the C-45 came from but said two of the men aboard were pas- sengers.

The two injured service men stumbled from the wreckage and were taken to hospital in Montreal. but authorities there would not comment on their condition.

An eyewitness to the crash. taxi driver Jean-Paul Brodeur, 35, of Villa Lemoyne. Que.. said he saw the plane "catch a roof."

"One motor shot out, then the plane started to turn. It flipped over and over. One wing came off and it (the plane) burst into flame." ' BAD-WEATHER. CRASH

The wreckage was scattered for 200 yards through the field and onto a road opposite the Aviation Hotel. The fire was put out by RCAF personnel and the wreck- age was quickly carted away.

The crash occurred in bad weather-a combination of lower- ing clouds and a fast-gathering dusk.

The pump-house. about 800 yards from the end of the runway, was to have been demolished within a short time. A new pump-liousc had already been built on the base.

An RCAF spokesman at air de- fence command headquarters at St. Hubert said the communica- tions plane was returning from a routine mission to Canada's east coast.

The RCAF denied earlier reports that four persons were killed and that the plane might have knifed through a house on the nearby Chambly highway.

Wool Dealer - Says Britain Discriminaiing

g OTTAWA (CP) - A Canadian wool dealer says Britain has opened her doors to imports of wool cleaned and combed in Uru- guay but has shut them against a

similar product from Canada.

Leslie Biggin of Toronto told the

tariff board Saturday that he re- ceived a British wool order. but his request for an import licence was rejected by the British board of trade.

Mr. Biggin is a member of the

Dominion Wool Dealers Associa- tion which is supporting the bid of the Canadian wool textile industry for higher tariffs against compet- ing wool cloth imported from Brit- am.

QUOTA SYSTEM

He said that some countries. in- some in the Common-

tcm to protect their textile indus- tries from unwanted imports. When he received the British

wool order. he said. he asked the British board of trade for permis- sion to import the item. but the board turned him down on the

grounds that a similar product was

available in Britain and that Brit-

ain had no dollars available for ”non-essentials."

"Wool tops combed in,Uruguay have been permitted to enter the U. K. while at approximately the same time tops combed in Canada were refused entry.” he said.

Tops are ihe balls of cleaned and combed wool used by the spinner for processing into worsted yarn. PARTICULAR CHARACTER

"The tops which were combed in Canada, and for which the British board of trade refused a licence were made entirely from Canadian wool which has a particular char- acter of its own and does not com- pete with tops produced in Eng- land or other countries.”

Mr. Biggin, who is vice-pres- idcnt of the Wool Combing Corp- oration of Canada with plants at Acton and. Gait. Ont. said the plight of the Canadian wool textile industry is such that demand for wool by the mills has dropped sharply.

"if this trend is allowed to con- tinue. unemployment in the wool textile industry and the wool trade in general will continue to show a radical increase in the very near future." .

As the long-sought agreement was signed. US. State Secretary John Foster Dulles told the dele- gates:

”I believe this conference will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time."

Only two weeks ago . Dulles warned British Prime Minister Churchill and West German Chan- cellor Konrad Adenaucr that the United States would have to re- consider its European military commitments if attempts to sal- vage Western defence from the wreckage of the European Defence Community plan came to nothing. He repeated the warning at the conference.

The agreement signed Sunday-- still to be approved by the French parliament-was wrung out of six days of bitter negotiations. APPEARED DEADLOCKED

At one time. the talks appeared deadlocked because of French fear of Germany's potential military might. which had caused French rejection of the EDC treaty only five weeks ago.

Assault On Young Couple

BARRIE. Ont. (CP)-Police had little to work on during the week- end in their efforts to find the al.- tacker who hammered a young couple info -unconsciousness in their parked car on a lovers' lane a mile from town.

The apparently-motiveless 2 a.m attack. on Joyce Ladourcur, iii. and Pte. Jolm Henry Sharp of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps at Camp Borden. resembles somewhat the attack on Marion McDowell in Toronto last Dec. 6, police said. Officers working on the McDowell case said they might send a detective to assist in the investigation.

Sharp told police he was.siiiing in the front seat early Saturday

and the girl was sitting in the back. GIRL INTERCEDED

"I had my back to the door.

The next thing I knew it was yanked open. I half fell out and looked into a gun butt just as it landed on my eye.

"As I swallowed my own blood. he hit me again. a sharp vicious crack with a gun butt across my temple. As I struggled. he hit me again.

”I could only see out of one eye and couldn't make out whether he had a mask on or not. I. couldn't see his face.

"I seemed to be falling into a big black pit. Then I heard Joyce shouting.

"She shouted 'Stop hitting him' and the last I can remember is the man swinging at her."

Miss Lariouccur said she leaned over and grabbed the attacker. "Then I got a whack on the head." she said.

Police said both victims de- scribed their attacker an "a small man."

Officers said the soldier was not robbed and the girl was not molested.
