Gun Turrets Are Useless.

WASHINGTON (AP)—A United States Navy patrol plane attacked by Communist MiGs’ couldn't shoot back because two gun tur- pets had been disarmed and 8 communications mixup blocked a fire order to the tail gunner. This was the gist of a report Wednsday on a hurried investiga- tion made by the navy on orders of President Wisenhower and spurred by outraged cries from Congress.

The navy said the patrol plane's top and forward turrets, mounting pairs of 20mm. guns,

concerned.”” The old ferry* was built on the Clyde in Scotland back in 3914.

The council request is for a ship similar to the Abegweit. ..

The Borden Town Council asks that all boards of trade, muni- cipal governments, farmers’ co- operatives, Legion branches, la- bor unions and other bodies ‘‘who are interested in the welfare of the province’’, support the resolu- tion.

It was noted in passing. that a causeway, if built, would take at least ten years to complete and long before then a double ser- vice will be required the year

The announcement of the Gov- ernment’s decision to build a new car-ferry to be in operation by 1961 was made in the House of Commons last week by Trans port Minister George Hees.

Sub Surfaces Tuesday Night

CORNER BROOK, Nfld. (CP)

Three fishermen said Wednesday they watched a surfaced submar- ine for 30 minutes Tuesday night before it headed along New- foundiand’s west coast. Ronald George, at the helm of a fishing. boat, said he saw the bow of an undersea craft as the unidentified vessel surfaced. ‘‘The ship slid along the surface for a short distance before it stopped,” he said. George estimated the deck was about a foot above water.

The fisherman piloted his boat to where his twe companions, Morgan Foot and Jobie Blan- chard, were fishing “some dis- tance away.” From an estimated two miles, they watched the sub lying idle. All agreed in an inter- view that they were unable to distinguish any activity but could clearly see a conning tower.

They said that after about a half hour the submarine moved out of-~the bay and headed to ward Bonne Bay, farther up the west coast, still on. the surface.

The report of the fishermen, all from nearby Gillams, was given to the RCMP. The navy

PLATTSBURG, N.Y. (AP)— “Every man in this courtroom is probably breaking the law— by wearing shorts,” city Judge Irving -Goldman said Wednes- dy.

The. judge spoke lawyers argued about a city ordinance banning short shorts in public places. Three Mont- real women have been arrested as violators.

Goldman noted that the law prohibits the wearing of any shorts except Jamaica, Ber- muda or tennis shorts.

“Are you wearing shorts?” Goldman asked city counsel Allen M. -Light. Light conceded he was.

“I think. every man in this courtroom is violating the law by wearing undershorts,”” Gold- man said.

CRITICAL ATTITUDE

Gromyko took a critical attitude toward the Western plan at Wed- nesday’s brief private Big Four session. He spoke stiffly in Rus- sian for 15 minutes. Western in- formants said Gromyko com- plained that the Western plan would maintain the basic form of the United States, British and French occupation.

But he made no reference to his earlier demand for a one-year time limit for the Western gar- risons to get out. This was taken @s an encouraging sign by the Western ministers, who have warned him that such a _ time limit is absolutely unacceptable.

State Secretary Herter, Foreign Secretary Lloyd and Foreign Min- ister Couve de Myrville, trying to stave off collapse of the confer- ence, agreed to meet Thursday afternoon in Gromyko’s villa rose to hear Khrushchev’s decision.

It was Khrushchev’s threat last November to turn over the Rus- sian-manned controls on. Berlin s supply routes to the Bast Ger- mans which sparked the Berlin crisis and led to the present con- ference.

ESCAPE HATCH

The Western plan took care to keep open the West Berlin escape hatch for refugees from East Ger- many.

and East Berlin.

3 Years’ Planning Involved In Royal Tour Preparation

ber of alternate airports if no im- provement is reported overnight. Alternate airports to Torbay at &. John's were listed by BOAC as Argentia, Gander and Stephen- ville, #1 in Newfoundland; Syd- ney, N.S., and Moncton, N.B.

The final. decision could be made during the flight over the Atlantic.

Seven ships from the Royal Navy and the RON will patrol the ocean along the route to be flown by the Comet.

On her last day at the Ascot races the Queen had a so so day. Her favored four-year-old Pal Mall finished second to Faultless Speech in the Royal Hunt Cup, the big race of the day. Two other royal horses failed to fin- ish in the money.

Gossip columnists in London newspapers have suggested that the Queen mixes superstition with racing: She wore the same out- fit to Tuesday’s opening session of Royal Ascot as she had worn on the last day of the event last year. The theory is that she con- siders it lucky.

The outfit is a lemon-hued lace dress, with matching jacket, a white picture hat, long gloves, white shoes and pearis.

But there will be little duplica- tion of clothes on the Canadian tour. The Comet has space for two tons of luggage, and another aa ieee of baggage goes Fri-

. Much more has already left oan the royal yacht Britan- nia.

Big Fish Catch Thrown Back

ALBERTON — Two Alberton fishermen who decided to fish for cod this year instead of building up an expensive lobster gear were bitterly disappointed yester- day when their first catch be- came a dead loss owing to hack of a buyer.

Amos Ramsay and Obharles Profit Jr., jigged fifteen hundred pounds of fish off Kildare only to find on returning to the wharf that arrangements for a buyer had fallen through. Having no facilities for salt*ng they were obliged to throw their catch back into the sea. They are hopeful that arrangements for a market can be made in the next day or 80.

A cautiously - worded forecast

. by weather officials Wednesday

predicted an end this morning to a depressing drizzle with “a few glimpses of the sun .. . this afternoon.”

The BOAC comet carrying the regal party to Canada for a 4-day tour was scheduled to leave London at 9 a.m. ADT. It was due at the nearby Torbay airport at 3 p. m. ADT. Capt. Roy Millichap], pilot of the Comet, said Wednesday flight plans could be changed during the trip if necessary.

Five landing fields have been designated as alternates to Tor- bay—Argentia. Gander and Ste- phenville, Nfld, Sydney and Moncton in that order. Mf any are used, it is expected the stopover will last only until Torbay skies clear and the tour schedule can be resumed. Some officials also raised the possibility that the Newfoundland tour might be re- versed, beginning in Stephenvile and ending in St. John’s. THREE DAYS OF FOG

Fog has kept commercial flights from using Torbay for three days. Most planes have been landing at Stephenville and’ pass

A general store owned by Earl Higgins at Stanhope was burned late last night with all its con- tents. Also lost was the apart- ment occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Higgins and family with all of their belongings.

Yesterday was a half-holiday and the store was closed during the afternoon. The Higgins were

in the National Park, so there was nobody around when Mrs Bruce Ellis first saw the blaze and gave the alarm at 12.30. The flames: were so fierce by the time that an attempt at sal.

Despite the gloomy weather and cautious predictions for to- day, there was considerable evi- dence of expectation. Newfound- land communities along the three-day route were decked in flags and bunting.

In Gander, Nfld. there was al- ready a plaque in the $3,500,000 transport department air ter- minal which the Queen is to open officially Friday. It said “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I opened this terminal building for Gander Airport 19 June, 1959.”

longest in Canada — or in any other part of the world, for that matter—of a British monarch.

Also, interest was expanded by the official opening of the St, Lawrence Seaway June 2627 at Montreal and Cornwall, where both the Queen and President Eisenhower will participate.

Telephone and telegraph com- munications, being arranged by provincial Royal Visit Commit- tees, appeared to be more than adequate everywhere.
