First Imprisoned Ship Sails Unexpectedly

‘MONTREAL (CP)—One of the 18 ocean ships imprisoned in Montreal harbor by ice jams since early December made -a successful break Monday through icebreaker-carved channels and the others may be freed today.

The. German freighter, Posei, don, berthed in the eastern end of the harbor several miles down- stream from the other 12, made an unheralded departure at 9 a.m. Channel engineers and port officials were caught by surprise.

At 4 p.m. the Poseidon dropped anchor off Trois - Rivieres, 90 miles down the St. Lawrence from Montreal, while two ice- breakers continued ramming at the jams within the city’s inner harbor

4 The icebreaker d’Iberville Mon-

day moved up the harbor to with-

in a mile of the 12 imprisoned ships. At one time she worked above the Jacques Cartier Bridge, which spans the harbor.

KEEP ICE MOVING.

Her sister ship Ernest Lapointe dropped further downstream to keep the broken ice moving with the current and was joined again late in the day by the d’Iberville.

“The bulk of the ice is moving now and there is not much ice between the ships and open water,” said Herb Land, a Mont- real official of the transport de- partment.

It is possible the ships, in order to have as much daylight as pos. sible on their first day out, will remain in port until Wednesday even if they are freed earlier by the icebreakers.

STE. ANNE-de-la-POCATIERE, Que. (cP)—& coroner’s inquest into the death of a young Wind- sor, N.S., man adjourned Monday with a recommendation for fur- ther investigation. |

In a speech at a convocation of the University of Toronto, where he was made an honorary doctor of ‘law, the prime minister said: * “Such! a declaration would give to the uncommitted world a sol- emn pledge of willingness to work with them for better economic conditions in which human dig- nity, equality and tolerance will ‘be recognized and personal lib- erty, freedom of thought, expres- sion and association and religion pledged to.those who will join in freedom and for freedom in the struggie for men’s hearts."

Material assistance to underde- veloped countries was important Canada had contributed $4,500,- 000,000 in financial assistance since the Second World War, but during his recent visit to Asia he sensed ‘“‘among some people a frightening suspicion as to the motives actuating the humanitar- ian action of the contributing na- tions."”

“The lesson seems clear that material aid alone will not con- vince the uncommitted nations of our sincerity nor win. their alleg- iance to freedom in the battle of ideologies.”” Criticizi commu- nism was not enoug :

“I can think of no better way to explain freedom than for the nations of the free world to meet together, exchange ideas, and reach a common basis for a Dec- laration of Freedom's Creed.”

The prime minister said that during the last war President Roosevelt of the United States and Prime Minister Churchill drew up the At'antic Charter. a short, precise and readily under-

cues document that was an inspiration to the peoples who up- held ‘freedom. Within a few months it was signed by 26 na- tions and became known as the United Nations Agreement.

JUST AS IMPORTANT NOW

Mr. Diefenbaker said it is just as important in peace as in war “for free men to speak to the rest of the world with a united and compelling voice.”

He was convinced that there was much to be gained from free nations dedicating t he m selves through eclaration similar the Atl rter.

The prime minister said no na- tion with a like population had the eee with world

12-15 Per Cent May Be Asked

_ By JOHN LeBLANC

Canadian Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA (CP) — A suggestion that the railways’ new call for a freight rate inerease might amount to between 12 and 15 per cent was heard Monday by the Board of Transport Commission- ers.

However, no firm figure -was offered before the board, and this was just’ presented as an “‘edu- cated guess’ by a railway law: yer. \

Tan D. Sinclair, OPR freight rate lawyer and counsel for the Railway Association of Canada in this case, made the guess in re- sponse to a question from the board. But it was only an off- hand ‘calculation, which could be changed later.

The railways wish to wait until about mid-April before telling the

board how big.an increase they|W

want, so they-ean have a look at their finances for the first quar- ter of 1959.

The hearings probably will take place in the spring.

This is the second increase the railways have sought in recent months. Effective last Dec. 1, they obtained one of 17 per cent, worth some $60,000,000 a year to cover the cost of a wage settle ment with empltyees threatening a strike on that date. :
