SINGAPORE. June 27—-(A.P)— The flood of Communism is spill- ing south from China over therich lands of Southeast Asia. Senior British oflicials assert Communists have launched a major offensive in the area.

An Associated Press surveyshowc. that Communists are openly bid- ding for power in Malaya and Burma, and are trying to infiltrate into positions of influence in long- established. non- Communist inde- pendence movements in Indo-China. and Indonesia. Even in conserva- tive Slam an increase in Commun- ist activity is reported.

Information from southeast Asia's capitals and from British officials indicates Communist aims are twofold:

1. To slow the flow of rubber. tin, oil and other strategic raw materials into recovery factor- ies and defence stockpiles of the United States and Western Europe.

2. To lay the foundation for an eventual strike for full poli- tical control. ' If the Communists are engaged

in a. major effort-as confidential reports indicate-it cornea at a strategic moment.

Non-Communist nationalist in- dependence movements have been stalemated in Indonesia. and Indo- China. Dlsillusionment may permit the communists to make hay.

Orders for the Communist of- fensive are believed by authorities to have come from elsewhere in Asia, but not from Russia. or China.

British officials say the new ter- rorist campaign in Malaya defin- itely is not the spontaneous out- burst of peasants in a. period of unrest, but is directed from a. cen- tral headquarterw-presumably a South Asian Oomintem about which little is known.

Farmers From Cape Breton Ilere

Thirty prominent Cape Breton farmers headed by Mr. Donald Boyd. agricultural representative for Inverness County, arrived in the Province yesterday afternoon

via the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry, for s two-day inspection tour. .

The farmers. who motored to the Province in four cars and two trucks, were piped off the boat at Wood Islands by Piper Neil Beaten attired in Highland uniform and were officially welcomed by Mr. H. W. Clay. Dominion livestock fieldman.

Yesterday evening the visitors were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clay at dinner after which they dispersed to the several homes nearby where accommodations had been arranged for them during stay.

This morning they will visit the Dominion Experimental Farm and afterwards will call upon several of the more prominent livestock breeders in various parts of the Province.

They will leave for Cape Breton tomorrow evening.

Ottawa Iiot Touching P._E.I. Legislation

UPPAMA. June 2’! -—(CP)—.It is regarded as pretty certain here

' that the Governor-in-Council will

reject the application of lab- or organizations for disallowance of Prince Edward Island's new labor legislation.

This legislation outlaws unions affiliated with national or inter- national organizations. and disal- iowance was urged by the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada and the Canadian Congress of Labor.

It Ls understood that the gov-

ernment has decided the issue on the over-riding principle that the Provinces are to be given a free hand in their own field and that in this case they have not im- pinged on federal authority. ' The Island legislation is dis- tasteful to the government here. but the feeling is that it should be left to the electors to knock it down.

Drowned l

The body of the late Marven Hill, 22, of Kensington, who was one of four men drowned on May 2, 1947, when some never-to-be- known mishap befall their lobster boat off New London Harbour, was found by Robert Murphy, a fish- erman, Saturday morning. It was lying on the shore of one of the sand hills between Stanley Bridge and Cavendish.

The R.C.M.P. were notified of Mr. Murphy's discovery and identi- fication was made known by means of a. pocket book found on the body. The pocket book contained some money and several receipts on which the name and address of the deceased. after almost 14

If you tour the American acne of Germany, you'll hear everyone complaining about the "fluecht- llngs," the German refugees who formerly lived in Eastern German territory taken over by Poland and Russia at the end of the war.

Chicago Gang Escapes _ In All-Night Manhunt.

CHICAGO. June 27 —( l )— A gang of robbers antned wit: mach- ine-guns shot two policemen in a running chase late Saturday and then eluded more than 100 offic- ers in an all-night manhunt

" around a wooded quarry.

Tracking dogs and 11 airplanes aided in the all-night hunt for the bandits, who were chased after they held up an alleged handbook near Western Springs. rt south- western suburb.

Hundreds of spectators hairnpcr- ed the search around the quarry into which it was at first believed the robbers had fled. Searchlights lit up the eerie scone. an old quarry about two ‘miles B11119"? which is filled with ravines, wood- ed tracts and swamlis. and i5 17°!‘ dered by steep walls.

After dawn came. officers fol- lowed tracks from the Slings abandoned automobile to the ban <5 of the Des Plaines River. about a half-mile south of the quarry. There thcy found three raincoats on the banks. One contained sev- eral rolls of coins. Prom the river they fished out a bank bag filled with bills, a snwed-oir shotgun. s mMhine-gun, a, carbine rifle, two ‘lo-calibre automatic pistols and

18 or 20 clips of machine-gun cartridges. Searchers believed the gang

waded the river. which is shallflw at that point and about 150 feet wide.

Later. police arrested Daniel Sul- livan, 3'7. of Detroit. ltiicli., in railway yards at Blue Island. Thcy held him for further questioning. He was arrested on a charlie 0! trespassing. Police said he denied nny knowledge of the robbery.

Churchill Urges v No Appeasement In Berlin Crisis

LUTON, Bedfordshlre, Eng- land, June 2'1 — (AP) —WlIi' aton Churchill Saturday warn- ed Britain to sheer away from appeasement in the Berlin crisis with Russia.

The wartime Prime Minister said that the tense situation in the German city “raises is- sues as grave as those we now know were at stake in lilunioh I0 years ago," — when Britain flickered with Hitler.

"There is no safety In yield- ing to dictators, whether Nazi or Communbt," he cautioned. He charged Russia has made up its mind to drive the West- ern Allies out of Berlin.

Jupl. before Churrlhlll spoke, the Government. officially ac- cused Russia of carrying on n "ruthless attempt" to create "a state of siege" in Berlin and reiterated “the statement that we intend to stay in Berlin holds true".

Lewis Douglas, United States ambassador, and Foreign Sco- retary Bevin were in confer- ence about the Berlin situation.

Churchill addressed a. crowd estimated at 100,000 persona who jammed Luton H00, liIs- torlc suburb of’ Luton, at a Conservative Party rally,

He pledged his party's sup- port to the labor Government if it acts with resolution to stay in Berlin, and asserted that Britain h a united nation, despite party differences, in resistance to “foreign tyranny."

On Saturday. Prime Minister King was patently anxious w get through as much business as pos- sible, first urging that the house sit through the noon recess, then suggesting an hour's extra \\'DI'l-( a‘. the dinner recess and finally that the Commons sit until after l. o'clock. All three suggestions were opposed and Mr. King submitted with good grace to the decision of the House.

The Prime Minister's anxiety, it is understood here, was not to check the stormy debate on the report of the Prices Committee but to get his national capital bill be- fore the chamber as soon as pos- sible. This bill calls for the estee- Iis-hment of a statutory fund known as the national capital fund which will be inaugurated this year Wlvfl an initial amount of 02,500,000 from the consolidated revenue fund o.’ Canada.

Yanks Plan To Ilse 100 (largo Planes

By RICHARD KASISCIII BERLIN, June 2'1 - (AP) Britons and Americans in Berlin were subjected to partial ration- ing today as the Russian land blockade of the city went into its second week.

Western Berlin has only a mionth‘s food reserves. Except for relatively small cargoes carried by planes and barges, supply ship- merits frcih western Germany for the 2,000,000 Berliners in the Brit- ish, American and Hench sectors remained shut off.

However, the United States Air Force's emergency cargo service into Tempvlhof Airport will ne expanded to 100 planes daily, bringing in as many essential items as possible for the comm“ population in addition to supplies for Amiericans here, it was said. British transport officials said four barges loaded with flour for the German population arrived today and another 20 were "in the pipeline." They said they had no (xplanation iwhy the Russinng were permitting a few barges to pass after a thorough inspection at the nonai boundary and yet were halting all land traffic.

hint-Gen. E.O. Herbert, the British Commandant, announced the British army and control

commission are introducing econ- omies to save food, power and other supplies during the crisis, he forbade large parties. Amer- ican authorities announced sim- ilar measures.

Genmans looked to the Wggpem Allies for decisive assurances that British, American and munch t:'oc'ps will maintain their pos- itions as joint occupiers here. Meanwhile, Russian-controlled newspapers and broadcasts inten- sified the war of nerves against the Western Powers and the Ber. liners under American, British and French Jurisdiction.

There were renewed dcnands that the Allies withdraw and at. tempts to persuade Berliners that they would be better oflf "in a united city" under sole __ any of the Russians.

To Decide Liquor Question Today

(Canadian Press) CHARLOTTTYPO

Prince Edward Islanders will de- cide their liquor question-Govern- ment control or strict prohibi- tlon-in a plebiscite tomorrow.

The Island's 235 polling booths will be open to some 50.000 eligible voters between 1 p.m. and D p.m. (A.S.T.).

Two questions will appear on the ballot: “For New Temperance Act" and "For Old. Prohibition Act". Observers are reluctant to predict the outcome but are confi- dent the turn-out will be heavy.

The Temperance Act is the name for the Government control system or rationing provided for by the last. sessionof Legislature. Under it, each adult would be allowed to buy one bottle of liquor or one case of beer each week,

Under Prohibition. it would be illegal to consume liquor as s bev- erage. Allowance would be mad: for persons requiring liquor as a medicine, which would be sold by prescription.

A Commission to enforce which- ever alternative is adopted has a.- resdly been established. Penalties for most violations of either ac‘.
