At the February meeting of the Bcneiolent Irish Society held in the Wlielan Memorial Hall on Fri- day llih February. 1955 a beauti- ful gavel was presented to the So- ciciy by Bro. Gerald P. Murtagh (above). The gavel is suitably engraved with the name of the Society and the date presented be- ing very expertly flnlshed in choice polished wood.

The honor of personally present- ing this gift to the Society on be- half of Brother Murtagh went to Bro. John W. Hogan. Past Presi- dent of the Society who also read an appropriate address for the oc- casion. It will be recalled that Bro. Gerald Murtagh was a form- er secretary of the Society and is presently employed by the Domin- ion Government in Ottawa. It is unfortunate indeed that Bro Mur- tagh was unable to be present on this occasion. but in spite of his absence the good work being done for the Benevolent Irish Society by Bro. Murtagh is well known to all the members and is indeed much appreciated.

U.S. Opposes

Coastal Islands To Reds

Hy .l()il.V M. HI(iHTOVl'ER

Slll'f'('IlfIl'T any Nationalist-helti coastal islands to the Chinese Communists merely in the hope of inducing the Reds to stop fighting.

Britain has officially advised the United States of its view that all the coastal islands-including the Quemonys and Matsus-'oe- long to Red China. although the Reds s h on i d not fight to get them.

U. S. policy does not. in fact. rule out the possibility some day of a settlement which would let the coastal islands go to the Commu- nists i.ii return for a firm Commu- nist agreement recognizing a non- Communist status for Formosa. But any such deal now appears to be a long way in the future Iflfl officials said that. so long as the Peiping government continues to assert its intention to capture For- mosa. the United States considers Quemoy. the Matsus and perhaps other offshore islands to be strate- gically important for Formosa's defence.

CBC Strike Threat Ends

Terms of the settlement must be approved by the CBC management and the union's 775 members in the CBC. This was regarded as

The union settled for an across- the-board increase of five per cent, retroactive to last Aug. 1. com- pared with original demands on a sliding scale ranging between 3950 and 384 a week.

Other points in the settlement. announced jointly after a CBC- NABET meeting:

1. The contract will run until July at. isss. the CBC thus obtain- ing a long-term contract in return for wage concessions.

3. At least 50 men in this group are to be promoted to a higher W-so category by April 1. 1955.

lcl it be known that while he would i not negotiate a formal cease-fire. lic uould accept one if the Chinese Nationalists would get out of all the coastal islands.

U. S. officials said privately that undcr this proposal the free world would be ”appeasing" Chou while he retained without check his an- nnunced designs on Formosa.

L'. S. officials said the fact that the C h i rt e s e Communists had clioscn not to "ask for trouble” by attacking ships or planes involved in the now - completed Tachens eracuationv except when planes got over lied territory-tended to raise a little more hope that eventually the Reds might agree to end the fighting.

However, suc h optimism as might be drawn from the lack of combat was tempered by the cold fact that the Reds were gaining territory which they would other- wise have had to fight for.

In the case of Formosa and the Pescadores i s i a ii (I s the United States has established its inten- tions to fight if necessary both by the Formosa resolution which Con- gress adopted at the president's request and by the longer term de- fence treaty with Nationalist China. As a result few if any informed officials believe the Chinese Com- munists will try to take Formosa by force.

original union demands ranged up to 3l.500,000 a year. Termination of the strike threat came in the office of Labor Min- ister Gregg -without the min- ister present-after officials of the labor department had conferred in the morning with CBC officers and arranged the CBC-NABET sessions that lasted Slh hours.

Up to then. the negotiations had been off and on during the week.

French Invent TV-Radar

PARIS (Reuters)-French scien- tists Saturday announced suc- cessful experiments with tele- vised radar. which they say could revolutionize aerial defence and navigation.

They said the old method was to train a television camera on a radar screen and relay the image to a receiver elsewhere.

But their invention is said to do away with the camera. A sen- sitive metsl plate inside the ra- dar machanlsm ”memorizes" the image long enough for it to be transmitted direct to the televis- ion receiver.

A small team of technicians in a master control room in Paris thus could "watch" any part of the sky over France at the turn of a television knob. the scien- tists said. Every radar station would transmit its information to the master control.
