MARlTlMEli.UliGES SUBSIDY FOR MERCHAN

Greenlease Kidnap-Killers gentenced To Die

ii. if. Parliam Royal couple

LONDON. (Reuters)-Sir Winston Churchill led Parliament Thursday ill wishing Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh "God speed" on their coming six-month Commonwealth tour.

Members of both houses rose to gupport the unanimous mo ion ex- pressing hopes for "a safe journey and a happy return."

Churchill compared the 15,000- tnn liner Gothic, on which the Queen will sail, in the Golden Hind. in which Sir Francis Drake sailed round the world in the 16th century. The Queen and the Duke leave here Monday by air to join the Gothic at Jamaica.

Churchill said the Gothic is more spacious and travels faster than the Golden Hind. "But it may well be that the journey which the Queen is about to take will be no less auspicious and the treasure she brings back no less bright than ulien Drake first sailed on English ship around the world."

Labor party leader Clement Att- lee said the Queen and her hus-

ent Wishes "God Speed"

band will receive a. "tremendous welcome" because of the personal affection borne for them.

Last Glimpse

Similar tributes were paid in the House of Lords.

Lord Salisbury, leader of the upper house. said that without the "strong cement” provided by loy- alty to the Crown, the Common- wealth would dissolve. If that hap- pened. he said, it would be very doubtful whether free humanity could survive. t

Londoners p a c is a d Plecadill Thursday for their last glimpse o the Queen before she sets off.

She was visiting an exhibit of the Royal Society of Portrait Paint- ers.

When the Queen's car arrived, the people-some of whom waited more than an hour-surged across the road, blocking traffic.

The Queen also met this after- noon with her privy council at Buckingham Palace for the last time before her departure.

"To cope with these problems we have not the necessary monies to meet ever-ln- creaslng demands on the munici- pal treasury. We therefore ask financial assistance comparable with that received by these cities from their parent body. namely, their respective Provincial Governments."

No commitment was made by Premier Matheson with regard to the brief, but the.delegates were assured that the. matter would be taken into consideration and imple- mented if possible.

The per cnpita grant in Char- lottetown is 2.00. in Halifax 3.213 and in Fredericton 12.6355. "We cannot compare Charlottetown with Halifax, except in the new par cap- lta rate." the brief states. "but at the per capita rate which Halifax receives the amount of money which we would receive would be 051,045.00, or an additional 810.327.- 50 to what we are at present re- celving.

Will fnle-r-Gas Chamber Week Before qirlsimas

By LARRY RAIL KANSAS CITY. Mo., (AP) - Bobby Greenlesseb kidnap-killers reaped the reward of their shook- ing crime Thursday--they must die in the gas chamber Dec. 10. a week before Christmas.

"It's too good for them but it's the best the law provides." said Robert C. Greenlease, 5r.. multi-' millionaire father of the slain boy.

within minutes winter a federal district court jury recommended the supreme penalty, Judge Albert L. Reeves sentenced Carl Austin Hall, 34, and Bonnie BmvrnHeady. 41, to death in the gas chamber at the Missouri penitentiary in Jef- ferson City.

They will die in the little grey stone death house in just one month-2!; months from Sept. 28. the day they lured little Bobby to death in a Kansas wheat field.

Neither Hall, the playiboy who squandered a fortune then turned to crime. nor his alcoholic mistress showed any emotion at the sen- tence. Asked by Judge Reeves if they had any comment, Hall said "No, sir." Mrs. Heady shook her head. '

Mother Breaks Down

The mother of Bobby Green- leaae broke down and. cried when the st. Louis Post-Dispatch reach- ed her at her home here. '

"My feeling about capital pun- ishmcnt makes no difference.” she said. ”There isn't any form of death that can begin to compare with the suffering my husband and I have endured since Bobby was taken, much less what Bobby en- dured.”

Both are reported to have said they are ready to die for the crime that shocked the world. Both have been pictured by their lawyers so full of "remorse.

When the 12m-an Jury came in with its decLsion. about '70 min- utes after taking the case, Mrs.

New evidence was introduced in only two of the five appeals. Judge Macauigan stated early in. the proceedings that in the case of Douglas Aitksn he had to be guid- ed by the decision in the Willis case and felt that the case for the rspondent had been proved. He expressed the opinion that the sp- pellant had not been charged with selling potatoes without a license. but just selling potatoes which he had produced without obtaining a license.

Mr. H. P. MoPhee-, Q.c., appear- ing for the Board, said that a

Herring Prices in Relation To Other Goods

OTTAWA, (OP).-An economic equation in terms of herring was given the Commons Thursday by B. R. Baloolm (L-Halifax) as he detailed low prices received by Atlantic fishermen.

Eighteen herring. he said, equal a loaf of bread; 120 herring equal one pound of coffee; 175 herring equal one pound of twins.

If a fisherman wanted to buy an automobile?

"St. Peter would have to be in the boat with him, at least in spirit. so he could catch enough fish to accumulate the wealth re- quired to purchase an automobile.”

Seen '3 Backbone Of SeapoweL

OTTAWA. (CP)-A Liberal mem- ber from the Maritlmes Thursday suggested the government provide 35.000000 a year in subsidies to help maintain I Canadian mer- chant fleet of at least 50 vessels.

S. R. Balcom. member for Hali- fax. said in the Commons that Canada should have the nucleus of a merchant marine in Case of emergency; A' merchant fleet was the backbone of seapower. Its loss would reduce Canada to 'the status of A second-rate. dependent. power with no means of supply- ing its forces overseas in case of war.

Speaking in the throne speech debate, he said there were 215 ships under the Canadian flag in 1947. But June 30 this year. the number had been reduced to 39.

Mr. Ealcom said the high cost of operating Canadian ships made it impossible for them to compete with the foreign vessels. It costs 3.100.000 more a year to run a Canadian merohantman than a similar British vessel. the major factor being orows' wages.

Similar Proposal

On this basis. the government could help maintain A fleet of 50 ships by pmvidinz 5.000.000 :1 year in subsidies.

A week ago. Transport Minis- ter Chevrler announced govern- ment rejection of a request for op- erating subsidies made by the Canadian Sl1lp0WTlelS' Aasocis - tion.

Mr, Balcom also inmzeated more ftderal aid for civil defence. Five of the provinces had not taken up federal grants available to them on 9. matching grant basis.

He said such target areas as Halifax-Dartmouth s-hnuld rc-colve special consideration and that

The potato movement from Prince Edward Island since the Co-operative Pool Selling Agency oommenced operations on October 13 has reached record proportions and already more than 1.500.000 bushels have been purchased from producers through the agency. re- ports Mr. D. A. MacDonald, chair- man of the P. E. I. Potato Mark- eting Board.

The movement to Central Can- ada. hAs been fairly heavy. and in addition boat loads are being 5- sembled and shipped continually to Southeastern United states, to Caribbean area. ports and to South America. It is .fortunate that the weather has remained mild, as most of the stock already moved was not protected from frost.

In addition to this movement. the selling Agency has stored very substantial quantities of potatoes at various Island shipping points where storage is available.
