Says lied China Not Entitled To Seal Al talks

By OLEN CLEMENTS P

MUNSAN, Korea, Feb. 12 (Tuesday) - (AP) - Rear-Admin al C. Turner ".ro'y told the Com- munists Monday that by their own standards Red China is not entit- led to a seat at a Korean peace conference.

The chief United Nations truce negotiator also warned that if the Communists insist on discussing such "inappropriate" matters as the future of Formosa and other sweeping Asian problems. the UN. may block action on armistice ag- enda item five - recommendations to governments involved in Korea.

The Allies already have said em- phatically that unless both sides agree on recommend tiuns none can be made.

The Communists may attempt to Justify Communist China's partici- pation in a post-armistice confer- ence when the full truce delega- tions meet in Panmunjom at 10 A.M. today (8 P. M. E.S.T.).

"During the course of the host- ilities in Korea." Joy told the Reds Monday. "both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the People's Republic oi China have repeatedly insisted that the Chinese units engaged in the host- ilities are volunteers and that their sudden appearance in Korea was completely unrelated to any offic- ial action on the part of their poi- itical authorities.

"Clearly, the People's Republic of China would not qualify (for a peace conference seat) under your own criterion."

Joy suggested a possible solution might be to eliminate all names of specific governments from a. pro- posal for a post-armistice confer- snce.

Death Toll 30 In Elizabeth. N. 1.; 40 Injured

iilLIZAiBE'I'l-I. N..T.. Feb. 11 - (AP) Busy Newark Airport was closed today after another big airliner plunged lilse a guided bomb into this crowded city on its border-ithe third crash in less than two months.

The known dead stood at 90. Forty persons - mostly plane passengers - were injured, one- third severely.

Four of the dead were trapped in a 52-family apartment house, set afire as the flaming four-en- gined National Airlines plane faltered on the takeoff and roared downward out of control.

it brought to nearly 120 the death toll in three similar crashes since Dec. 16.

The huge Miami-bound airlin- er with 63 aboard was in trouble almost as she left the ground at Newark. three miles away. at 12.18 a.m. EST. One or two en- gines failed and the pilot radioed a. terse ”can't make it back."

With the passengers inside screaming in terror, the plane thundered downward from the brightly moonlight sky, Just miss- ed a children's home were 46 youngsters were asleep and smack- ed into the apartment building. in an instant, flames mushroom- ed from the building.

Drafting Dentists For iKoreon Service

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11-(AP) The Defence Department announ- ced today it is issuing a draft call for the first time since the out- break of the Korean war 18 months ago. The Department said selective service will be asked to induct 305 doctors of dentistry in April. '

OTTAWA. Feb. 11 - (C?) Graham F. Towers. governor of the Bank of Canada, indicated today the rate of personal saving will be among factors determining the trend of prices this year.

He said it is difficult to predict what will happen to prices this year. It will depend on the rate of personal savings, the effect of in- creased 'defence expenditures in North America and whether any "frightening" developments occur in the international field.

Mr. Towers held a press confer- ence to answer questions on his 1951 report of the bank's opera- tions, which contained a. descrip- tion of economic trends from the outbreak of the war in Korea in June, 1950, but gave no predictions.

He said an encouraging feature of the fight against inflation was the way in which personal savings increased during the last six months of last year. Another was that there was no increase in the wholesale price level in the last six months, despite substantial in- creases in defence expenditures and capital investment. '

Without giving the figures in dollars, the report said it was es- timated that new capital invest- ment expenditlrres in Canada dur- mg 1951 were 22 per cent higher in value than in 1950 and perhaps nine per cent greater in physical

volume.

This investment would mean greater production facilities will be available this year, said Mr. Tow- CPS.

Reviewing the situation, the re- port said that when the war broke out in Korea there was a general fear that a shortage of goods and services would result. A wave of buying and production was set in motion. Prices and production costs climbed and the trend was reflect- ed in the prices of imports and ex- ports.

The wave did not slacken until March, 1951.

"In general, the failure of any serious physical shortages to de- velop as soon as had been anticip- ated introduced enough doubt about the future to slow down buy- ing." said the report.

"sharp increases in certain prices tended both to encourage a larger flow of supplies and to discourage some demands. Impairment of liq- uid asset posltions and larger out- standing debt obligations tended to revive public interest in a high- er level of saving."

(The Bureau of Statistics report- ed last week that personal savings had climbed to 51.781.000.000 from :820.000,000 in 1050).

The slackening in the buying and production wave was not ae-

This mill .was owned and oper- ated by Mr. Jack beard. and the loss is estimated in excess of 325,- 00000.

Last in the tire was all the mill equipment and machinery and a quantity of dried lumber which was stored in the mill.

The fire is believed to have started in the woodworking sec- tion of the mill, and was first ob- served from her home. shortly after noon by Mrs. Amy Howatt. Crapaud telephone operator, who immediately phoned Mr. Leard at his home. and also called the fire departments from Crapaud and nearby Victoria.

Mr. Lcard, who lives near the mill, was first to arrive at the scene of the fire, and although everything had been in good order

when he left the mill a short time before. the whole mill was hopelessly ablaze with the fire

making rapid headway in the tin- der dry wooden building.

By the time the fire depart- ments from the two villages had arrived the second and larger building comprising the mill, was also on fire. and it is understood that when the fire departments got into action they were able to check the flames, but not before the smaller building was entirely consumed and the larger one so badly gutted by fire that only the frame remains.
