Expecl Changes In Army Organization

OTTAWA. Jan. 24 - (GP) Changes in the organization of the Canadian Army are likely to emerge from the switch from British to American arms but authorities claim they will be of a minor character.

They won't. for instance. affect anything as traditional and funda- mental as the system of giving in- fantry battalians names such as the seaforth Highlanders at North Nova scotia Regiment. The Amer- icans don't do that. They use num- bers.

Authorities say there may be slight changes in sizes of certain formations, for one thing. The ques- tion is under study at headquarters now and army officials say they can't comment on details until de-

i I are reached.

Makes Slrong Speech Al II. N.

By Francis W. Carpenter

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. Jan. 24 -(AP)-U. S. delegate Warren R. Austin today accused the Chinese Communists of "blackmail" and bad faith in trying to gain their objectives in Korea and the Far East. He also said Red China and Russia have taken part in aggres- sion in Korea.

The American representative ad- dressed the 60-country political committee of the U. N. Assembly as 12 Asian and Arab countries formally demanded an immediate seven-country conference to seek a. settlement of the Chinese-Ken can prohltrn without waiting for a cease-fire.

His emphatic statement was re- garded in U. N. circles as a re- jection of the latest Arab-Asian move and as an American answer to Prime Minister Nehru of India. who criticized in s. New Delhi broadcast today an American reso- lution calling for the political com- mittee to find a verdict of aggres- sion against Communist China.

Britain still took a "wait and sec" attitude on the American resolution but two Commonwealth members. Australia and New zeal- and, supported it.

U. 8. Expects support

American circles called the Arab-Asian demand a "futile gest- ure" and said it merely would waste time. They indicated the U. S. is standing firm by its resolut- ion; expects it to pass by a good margin and looks to the free world to support it.

State Secretary Dean Acheson said earlier in the day in Wash- ington that the U. S. is striving to preserve the unity of the free world in opposition to Red Chin-

The Panaman-inn freighter "Odd- var II", which left Charlottetown for Ge'orget0wn yesterday morn- ing, returned last evening after being stuck in the ice between the harbour and St. Peter's is- land for the best part of the day.

The vessel was prevented from leaving the harbour by the re- cently formed ice. and returned to await the arrival of the C. G. S. ”Saurel". which was expected last night. It was stated last evening the "Sa-urel" and the ”0ddvar 11" would leave this morning in an attempt to break through the ice to Georgetown.

T-he freighter is to load seed po- tatoes at Georgetown for South-

NEW DELHI. Jan. M -(AP) -

Prlmc Minister Nehru of India levelled a broadside of criticism at United states policies in Asia to- day and said the American propos- al for the United Nations to de- clare Communist China an aggres- sor can bring only increased con- flict. He said he is convinced China's Communist leaders are eager for a negotiated settlement and that the time has come for a conference of the major powers to disclus world problems.

"Instead of talking at each other across thousands of miles." he said in a broadcast to his country, "it is clear to me that enough has been said on both sides for neg-

He mentioned the crossing of the 38th parallel by U. N. forces in Korea. refusal to receive munist China into the U. N. and the American proposal in the United Nations political committee to declare Peiping an aggressor.

Accuses Chinese Ancl Russians OF Blackmail

Allies Seize

By ROBERT EUNSON

TOKYO. Jan. 25 - (Thursday) - (AP) - Allied patrols hunting for trouble Wednesday stabbed 12 miles northward to within 33 miles of the 38th parallel in Central Korea and found few enemy troops.

on the pat1rols' southeast flank, other Allied troops behind a roll- ing artillery barrage and air blows seized the mountain road hub prize of Yongwcl.

A field dispatch said the patrol which lcnlfed toward the parallel rolled it) miieslnorth from Wonju to I-Iccngsong. It then pushed on about two miles north. I-Icengsong. 55 miles due east of Seoul, is 35 miles south of parallel 38.

The unit of 100 men and four tanks had routed two small Com- munist pockets on the way to I-Ioengsong but it found the town itself empty of Communist troops. The unit pulled back at nightfall to better defence positions.

it was the northernmost stab by the Allies since Seoul was aban- doned to the Communists Jan. 4.

Find Few Enemy Troops

Yongwol;

Forty miles to the southeast of I-loengson, another patrol recaptur- ed the tungsten mining town of Yongwol, which has changed hands five times during the last two weeks.

The troops smashed into Yong- wol after crossing the ice-covered I-inn River. A 20-plane bombing at- tack and a roaring artillery bar- rage had driven Red troops from the town.

An estimated 20.000 Reds, includ- ing 500 rifle-carrying women. were believed to have infiltrated behind Allied lines on the eastern front.

On the western front. a US Eighth Army communique said Red troops were sighted re-entering the town of Ichon, 30 air miles south- east of Seoul.

The communique reported no contact on the western front. It said also that Communists on the central and eastern rrmts were showing a reluctance to fight.

Red prisoners reported their forces were hard-pressed for sup-

plies and ammunition.

Closing Argument In llaies Case is Scheduled Today

OTTAWA. Jan. 24-(GP)-seven Provincial Governments today called on the Board, of Transport Cot'nnmissioners"td refuse the;.r(ail- vways a general five-per-cent in- crease in freight rates.

In closing argument on tbd rate

case. the railways ' themselves argued the 623,000,000-a-year in- crease is necessary to offset a

seven-ccnt-an-hour wage boost for workers stemming from last Aug- ust's rail strike.

The Board heard final evidence in the railways application today. along with most of the concluding argument. Tomorrow the lrailways will wind up with argument in re- ply to the provinces.

The last evidence dealt with the Canadian National Rail- ways' 1950 operations. The Government-owned company disclosed net rail operating in- come of ss2.1:ta.c3o on Canad- ian lines-highest since 1940. The figures lent expectation that

the C. N. R.-which had a 342.- 000.00'.i deficit in 1949-would show either a small surplus or a small deficit on its over-all 1530 fin-' anccs. Railway informants said results of United States lines and other operations would boost net income to about the approximate- ly s-faoooooo needed to cover fix- ad interest on its heavy bonded debt.

The C. N. R. also told the board today it expects to gross about 313000.000 a year from the pro- posed five-per-cent rate increase. just enough to meet the cost of the seven-cent: wage raise without taking into account additional ex- penses for materials. Earlier, the Canadian Pacific Railway had in- dicafed its expected yield from the rate increase would be 310,-

Fisheries Problems Are Discussed At Conference

"The task of our Department is to develop income for the fisher- men during the time of year they are now unemployed." stated lion. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Indus- try and Natural Resources at. the noon luncheon yesterday during the fifth annual East Coast Fish- eries Conference.

He told the delegates that. the fishing industry in this Province was anchored to the lobster busi- ness "which lasted for two months during the year. ”'Durlng those two,-,:gagsrtl1s.".vhs stated. "the lob- ster men; . probably make more than the highb. puid executives 'but they have 0 live for ton more months that same yenr.

"The use of dxaggers will have tn be developed” eventually and the fishermen enter lnlo the file

let fradc." he Stated. "We also have shell fish and several other lines of small fish around the province."

Would Aim Al Conference On Global Crisis

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 - (AP) .. The Westeni Big Three propos- ed tonight that Russla meet with them in a preliminary session in Paris as a step toward a Big-Four Foreign Ministers conference to case global tension.

The United States. Britain and France made the suggestion in notes to Moscow. They said they stand ready to make a major attempt to improve East-West relations.

Want Talks Broadencd

But they again turned thumbs down on the Russian idea of limit- ing the Big Four ministers' cor.- fcrence to a discussion of German: rearmament. They want all major, causes of East-West. friction ex-i plored.

They called on Moscow to say whether Russia agrees to take up "the principal problems whose sol- ution would permit a real and last- ing improvement" in relations be- tween the Soviet Union and the West.

"if the Soviet Government does agree," the Western Powers said. they are ready to set a date for the preliminary conference to decide' what issues should be considered! Paris was suggested as the site for. the preliminary meeting. On the. principle of rotation. the Bil:-Four conference itself is due to be held in New York.

The identical notes. delivered Tuesday in lvbcscow and made pub- lic tonight. opened a new cycle in nearly three months of discussion over the proposal advanced by Rus- sia for another Foreign Ministers conference.

Reply To Russian Note

They were in reply to Russia's Dec. 30 note declaring her will- ingness to take un preliminaries but insisting that the question of German rearmament be the "first and foremost businessgjww W

The Western Powers sold "the tension which exists in the viorld today docs not arise from the Ger- man problem." .

Evidences "all across Canada" of a significant revolution in the fish- ing industry were cited by Mr. J. Watson MacNa.ught, M. P.. Parlia- mentary Assistant to the Federal Minister of Fisheries. in addressing the East Coast Fisheries Conference delegates last evening at a banquet tendered them by the Provincial Government.

Mr. MacNaught instanced new types of draggers and boats which have been developed on both coasts, suited to the special lc-cal fisher- res.

”on the Atlantic this year.” he said. "your trawlcrs will move into the use of radar to test its value for fishing in fog. we have seen in Ottawa in the last few weeks the new small marine diesel engine designed by the National Research Council which may continue the revolution and help to improve the small boat fishery.

”In your plants. in handling fresh and frczen fish. in cunning. sailing. smoking and drying. a technical revolution is also under way. Im- provemcnts in packaging and in dis- tribution methods are going on apace and I. for one. see no reason for the fishing industry to enter the second half of the Twentieth Century with anything but confid- ence."

Illegal Fishing

Mr. MacNaught warned. how- ever, that on the Atlantic coast "our job of protecting the lobster resour- ces is becoming more and more dif- ficult. The crimes that are being perpetrated by a small group of law-breakers are becoming more serious. some of our officers, in the course or their protective work, have been shot at and wounded. others have had their property dc- ; stroycd in retaliation.

"This type of lawlessness." Mr. MacNau-ght declared. "has no place - in our way crf life. It must stop!”
