Greai Typhoon Hiis Wake island

HONOLULU, Sept. 16--(AP)-A great typhoon with gusts up to 160 miles an hour hit Wake sud- denly Monday. driving churning seas across the whole island and smashing nearly every building there.

About 750 persons on the step- ping stone for the Korean alt- lift fled the storm's fury by tak- ing efuge in underground shei- ters the Japanese built during the war. They escaped with but two injuries reported.

(The Weather Bureau at Los Angeles said it had received re- ports that Wake was hit by gusts up to 243 miles an hour. It said if true that probably would be a record.)

May Replace

The possibility of replacing the bridge at Montague with a cause- way dam is receiving serious con- sideration by the Department of Public Works and Highways, ac- cording to information received yesterday from Hon. Dougaid MacKinnon, Minister of the De- partment.

”We have had Mr. O. J. Mc- Culloch. consulting engineer from Montreal whose firm planned the Canso Bridge, look over the situ- ation recentiy, and until we hear from him further, no deceision will be reached," Mr. Macxinnon stated.

"We have in mind the vast im- provement that could be made in Montague if the mud flats above the bridge were covered with wa- ter at all time, and that area turn- ed into a lake," the Minister add- ed. "If this can be done by sub- stituting a causeway for a bridge as a vehicular and pedestrian mode

of passage over the river. it ap- pears to me to be a. sensible move."

The Department is presently dealing with the possibility, how- ever remote, of a "flash flood" from up-river and the trouble it might cause, if not adequately pro- vided for in the event of a cause- way being placed on the present bridge site. Such a. flood might follow the breaking away of a dam above the bridge, particular- ly if this happened at full tide when the river is well filled with water. In this event, a surge of water. if not otherwise provided for, might cause damage to the causeway and even overflow it for a short time.

”Every avenue is now being ex- piored by Mr. Mcculloch, to pro- vide an answer to this and other problems, and we are waiting with interest the result of his findings in the matter," Mr. MacKinnon

said.

This undoubtedly is only so much face-saving for Russials Red Chinese ally. Port Arthur is the coastal terminal of the rail- way. Undoubtedly, Russia retains freight-hauling privileges.

In any case, the fact remains that Russia stays in Manchuria whereas she promised in 1950 to clear out by the end of this year.

The pretext for staying was framed this way: Red China's Premier. Chou En-Lai. asked the Ruasians in keep a garrison in Port Arthur because of the "dan- gar" of renewed aggression from a raarming Japan.

Official Start Of Work On Big Canso Causeway

MULGRAVE, N.S., Sept. 18 -- (CPI - Nova Scotians by the hun- dreds, including a Cvoolic-speaking county councillor who was among the first to moot the idea 50 years ago, streamed to the Strait of Canso today to Watch the official start of work on the Cnnso Cause- way.

Eight tons of dynamite heaved a healthy 40,000 tons of fill from the face of Porcupine Mountain to mark the opening and Premier Angus L. Macdonaid donned over- ails to help truck the first load to the strait.

Transport Minister Cnevrier said he expects the 322,750,000 cause- way to be financed by the Federal and Provincial Governments, to be ready for use by 1955.

Despito the rain, hundreds watch- ed the ceremonies. And watching with more than usual interest was Dan A. MacDonald who recalled that as a Victoria County council- lor he had introduced a motion 50 years sgo.ask.ing that the strait be bridged.

Today's huge blast, described as "lust I Duff" by construction work- ers, was strong enough to send a tidal wave sweeping across the strait which separates Cape Breton Island from mainland Nova Scotia.

Premier Mscdonald said "It is a day to be long remembered."

Mr. Chevrier said it was "one of the most significant milestones in the economic development of our country."

Truman Declares Eisenhower Backs Anii-Labor. Move

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 -(AP)-- President Truman told the Amer- of Labor today that Dwight D. Eisenhower is backing -"the most anii-labor plat- form. submitted to the coun- iry in at least lid years."

In a message read to the 71st A. F. L. convention. Truman said "Plans are afoot in Wall Street" in the event of a Republican victory this year to "make the Tafi-l-lart- icy law even more oppressive and unfair than it is at present." .

The Taft-Hartley law provides for anti-strike injunctions and bans the closed shop among other things.

Truman claimed that "A defin- ite plot was hatched at the close of the war to smash. . .our trade union movement in a period of war reaction.

He called the Tafi-Hartley law- passed over his veto-only a first stop in "the repeal of most of the New Deal legislation."

Manhunt In

TORONTO, Sept. 18 - (OP) - The greatest manhunt in Canadian history ended early tonight on an old abandoned farm about 15 miles northeast of Toronto with the cap- ture of the Boyd Gang without a struggle or a shot.

They were taken by two North York detectives who had come on duty only about an hour earlier and surrendered without firing a shot.

The detectives - Bert Trotter and Detective-sergeant Maurice Richardson - said the men had two nine-millimetre nutomatics, fully loaded, and ”lheir pockets full of shells."

Richardson told The Press:

"We had no there. We were just mooching around and we found them in the hay. They didn't fire a shot. They didnlt say a bloody thing.

"I put the handcuffs on them and we drove them over here."

"Here" was the police cells in North York, on Yongc Street about four miles north of the city.

Thus Edwin Alonzo Boyd, Leo- nard Jackson, Steve Suchan and William Jackson were back in po- lice custody for the first lime since they siariied the country by escaping from the Don Joli early Sept. 8.

Hundreds of police converged on the North York Station short- ly after the capture and stood on Ruard with rifles and other wea- pons. Armed police were in the cells with the prisoners.
