last year. She likely will get be- tween 80.000 and 100,000 tons next year. and even more in the fol- lowing two years, dependent on world demand for Canadian news-

print. This was disclosed following a statement by Lord Layton in

Montreal. announcing that agree- ment with the mills on a. program of supply for the next three years has been reached.

A spokesman for the United Kingdom High Commissioner's of- fice raid the announcement ap- peared to be "extremely good news" for Britain. It likely would mean, he said. that Britain would get increased supplies from this country. He did not amplify.

Informant: said the deal. made under the general terms of com- plicated long-term contract: be- tween British publishers and Can- adian mills. may eventually re- store Britain to the supply position prevailing before Sir Stafford Cripps, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced drastic cuts in imports from dollar countries in 1940.

The cuts wielded to conserve Britain's dwindling supply of dol- lara, included newsprint. Normal- ly, Britain got between 80,000 and 100,000 tons of newsprint from Canada annually. This was cut to about 20,000 tons last year.

Now with more dollars in her exchange pool and badly in need of more newsprint. Britain has given her publishers the green light on increased purchases from Canada.

The aimgof the publishers is to get about 100,000 tons a year from Canadian supplierl. It is believed that under the terms of the no agreement. Canadian mills will try to reach that target and increase exports even above that amount if the world pressure for supplies eases.

Health tllhlsler Marlin Reveals New Details

OTTAWA. May 28 -(GP) - Health Minister Martin today an- nounced a live-point program to widen the uses to which Federal health grants may be applied, in- cluding Federal aid for the first time to the building of new nurses resldencu.

The charges were announced in a speech prepared for delivery be- fore the 1951 biennial meeting of the Canadian Hospital Council. A maximum of about 335,000,000 a year has been made available since 1948, but because of Federal restrictions. the entire annual amounts set aside have never been fully used.

The five changes:

1. To help increase the number of nurses in Canada, Federal grants will be approved for the building of new residences on the basis of 5500 for each bed.

2. A Province, which has useci up all its Federal grants for one project but not for another, may switch the funds from one to the other "under certain circum- stances."

3. The range of health under which a general health grant may be will be widened.

4. Up to a maximum of 350.000. grants will be allowed for the building of combined laboratories in hospitals to provide diagnostic. and public health laboratory ser- vices to patients.

5. Outrpatient departments in hospitals will be included in tho- definition of a "community health centre," allowing Federal grants for such construction.

liuge Forest Fire Fought To Stanlstill

TORONTO. May 28 -(CP)- A 55.000-acre forest fire in the Go- gama district of Northern Ontario was fought to a standstill today as light rains and some 700 bush- workers and firefighters combined forces.

The fire. so miles south of Tim- mlns, was whipped into an inferno by 35-mile-an-hour winds that swept across Northern Ontario last Friday and Saturday.

But Lands Department officials said today damage was confined largely to a birch-pine timber area where a similar fire burnd in 19411 They said the rapid spread was due to the thick stands of dead trees left in the district. It now is under control.

Elsewhere in the province. of- ficials said no fires are burning but all are under control. Nearly 00 blazes were burning at the week-end.

They said the rain has reduced hazards from "extreme" to "med- ium to high" across the Province.

However, the department's (M aircraft. several chartered planes and two helicopters are being flown almost constantly, patrolling and ferrylng men and equipment to fire areas. More than 1.000 men are reported fighting fires across ont-

SOMEWHERE IN KOREA. May 23-(CF)-Canada's 25th Infantry Brigade. now in action in Korea, made many friends on the journey to the war-torn peninsula.

Many of the men retained cop- ies of the mimeogrephed ship- distributed on the three United States traneporte that brought the Canadians to these shores.

Support To

Service Menis Appeal For, Clean Election Campaign.

A Canadian Legion appeal for clean election campaigning. made in a resolution passed by the Provincial Command in 1049, was endorsed one hundred per cent last night by Mr. J. Angus Mau- Lean. Progressive Conservative candidate in the coming Federal by-election for Queen's. in (III- dresllniz a supper meeting of poll chairmen in Charlottetown last night.

In announcing his stand M: MacLean cited the Legion resolu- tion which cmphasized that un- der hoth Dominion and Provin- cial legislation. corrupt practices -such as the buying and selling of votes and the use of intoxi- cating liquor for election pur- poses--are unlawful,. and that there was evidence of increasing disregard of these enactments. The Legion resolution also ex- pressed the bellef that "the pre- vailing indifference to the moral and legal principles involved will inevitably result in deterioration of our democratic system of gov- ernment."

"That is precisely where I stand." Mr. MacLenn declared. "I want all my supporters to ap- preciate the fact that this is the most important issue in the cam- paign. so far as I am concerned. I believe that in making it nf first important we can best serve democracy and safeguard our heritage of British freedom."

In his opening remarks Mr, MacLean spoke of the prict-c which many service men paid

during two World Wars in me- rlflclng their lives for these prin- ciples. 'tI believe that we all. in our innermost thoughts. detest corrupt election practices." he

Resistance Stiffens

Red resistance stiffened Monday and today on the front around mic and I-lyon and won the central front near I-lwa- l clton. The Communists showed

signs of trying to halt the general !Allied push across the 38th par- l allel into North Korea.

An Eighth Army staff officer said costly Red delaying actions probably have permitted many troops to elude United Nations traps.

The Allies were hampered by

fmud. The Reds were able to slip ;along roads and trails before the , sloshing Allies could cut them. i Pursuing United Nations forces ; were driving four to 14 miles in- tside North Korea across the 1&- mile wide peninsula. The Allied positions were about the same they occupied just before the first Red hammer blow the night of April 22.

In one week, the Eighth Army offensive has eliminated Red pen- etration rantgintg up to 25 miles below the 38th parallel. The total Rad gains were from 30 to 40 miles.

However, field dispatches said 3.000 Chinese were in action Mon- day night against U. S. troops on the central front. west of H'wach- on reservoir. That was roughly seven miles north of the old po- litical boundary.

Rear-Guard Action

Froni-line officers believed Chi- nese rear-guards were attempbin-g only to slow the Allied advance. They expected nothing more than a local enemy counter-attack.

Other Red rear-guards, includ- img many North Koreans, tried to stop the Allied advances on both the western and eastem flanks of the battleline.

Drew Would. Ban Large U.S.Trucks From Canada

OTTAWA, May 28-tCP)- George Drew, Progressive Conser- vative leader, said today large United States transport lrucks should not be allowed to use Can- adian highways.

He told the Commons thatsome of the trucks weighing 50 to 55 tone could cause serious damage to highways and small bridges.

Mr. Drew spoke during study of a bill that would allow trucks to carry goods in bond from a warehouse in the United States to a warehouse in Canada. Under the existing system the goods muet be unloaded at border cross- ing point: and appraised for cus- ltome purposes.

Revenue Minister Mccenn said the change was planned because of the development of highway tredfic. Trucking firms would be allowed to establish warehouses where the goods could be ap- praised and customs collected.

Mr. Drew said he did not think the change should be made at this time. It would encourage large U.S. trucks to come to Canada where roads were not constructed to handle them.

He favored the existing system where good: are unloaded from American trucks at the border. appraised and then transferred to Canadian trucks.

There were several objectionable feeturee in the proposed change. Ieetdee encouraging U. S. trucks to come to Canada. it would open the way for breaches of customs regulations he said he did not want to cut any reflection on the trucking companies, but everyone
