At the same time the market- ing committee of the Maine pota- to industry council approved a motion favoring withdrawal from the New York mercantile ex- change.

Mr. Matheson said early indica- tions were that automobiles would not be affected by the ruling. How- ever, he added. this was reversed by a board announcement,

The 3350.000-5400.000 figure was based on 1954 figures. Mr. Mathe- son said. The increases would be roughly the same to all Maritime

It was essential to be able to paralyze these potential Commu- nlst assaults in the first few hours of the war.

He qualified his forecast of no major war for three or four years by saying it was conceivable, of course, that Russia. fearing a nu- clear attack being launched on her might make a surprise attack as her own form of deterrent.

The U. S. and Britain must make it clear that such a surprise attack would bring immediate no- tallation on a far larger scale.

Defending Britain's decision to make her own H-bomb, Churchill hold that In an emergency. the plans of other powers might not be exactly what Britain wished. she must be able herself to deal with targets that could be a matter of life or death to her.

Miss McLure describod'thc ex- terior of the Cathedral "which still sits in the majesty. dignl and beauty of its own grounds." The present cathedral was started in 1220 and was fully described by Miss McLure in its unity of de- sign, the perfection of it's propor- tlons, the spire. the silent figure , i ” heavenw -is. which is 404 feet high. It is the loftiest spire in England and by common consent the most beautiful in the world. The interior was then described and the beautiful col- oured glass of the windows re- ferred to in detail.
