Lfively Speculation Heard On Globe And Mail Bidders

TORONTO (CP)--The announce- ment that The Globe and Mail. or- onto's only morning newspaper. will be offered for sale Jan. 10 touched off speculation Tuesday concerning possible bidders.

It was announced Monday night that Canadian. British and United States interests will-be invitedtn bid for Canada's largest mormng newspaper, whose history dates from the founding of The Globe by Liberal politician George Brown in 1843

Reports were current 'h.ies-day that bids may come from various Canadian publishing groups; from British enterprises such as those of Canadian-born Lord Beaverbrook or the company that publishes the mass - circulation Daily Mirror; from a United States multi-million- ajfei and from Progressive Con- servative interests associated with George Drew. the party's national leader.

Mr. Drew. recuperating at Ste. Adele, Que, from a meningitis ut- tack, said the report was "the sil- liest cock-and-bull story I've heard in a very long time.”

None of the other reported likely to bid came out with confirmation though several expressed interest. THOMSON INTERESTED

Roy H. Thomson, president of the Thomslin Company which pub- lishes more than 20 newspapers in Canada, the United States and Britain, said: "I am seriously in- terested and am looking into the matter very carefully before mak- ing a decision."

Philip S. Fisher of Montreal. president of the Boutham Com- pany. said: ”The Southam Com- pany is interested in any good Canadian newspaper that comes on the market. We are interested in The Globe and Mail but there is no use saying we are going to bid until we know what the offering will be."

Jack Kent Cook. Toronto radio- atation operator and magazine pub- lisher, said: ”I am interested. I think it important that this great Canadian newspaper remain in the hands of Canadians.”

Clinton Williams Murchison, 59- year-old Texas multi - millionaire whose Canadian Delhi Oil Ltd. will be half-owner of the proposed Trans Canada Pipe Lines Ltd., was rum- ored to be interested. He could not be reached at once in Mexico City.

Prciyer Service Last Night At Baptist Church

"Many millions today seek peace of mind because they are helpless in the grip of evil. They want some- one who will set them free, and only Christ can do it," declared Rev. Frank Lawson of Halifaxto an overcrowded audience in the Bap- tist. Church last night. Rev. Frank Smith conducted this second ser- vice assisted by Rev, W. H. Brown who led in prayer and Rev. M. D. Dunbar who read the Scripture les- son. During the offering the choir under Royston F. Mugford, song iseek Ye The Lord.”

Mr. Lawson speaking on the topic "I Bet My Life On Christ" showed how the power of Christ working in Peter and John who healed the lame man is active in men today. The savage who has no reverence for life is in a terrible state till Christ gives him that reverence. "No system of science. education. government, social welfare or mil- itarism can save the world,” he said. "But history is alive with ex- amples of the dlfferaice Oh:-lat" makes to life." "None other name is given but that of Christ". said Mr. Lawson. ”whereby this world can be saved."

In keeping with the Centennial Year celebrations representatives of the city will assist in the prayer service at zion Church tonight.

World.

Dr. John Convey. head of the mines branch of the department of mines and technical surveys, made the statement Tuesday in an inter- view In which he reported a sharp increase In Canadian production of uranium concentrates in 1954.

GREATER. IN 1055

"We advanced a lot In the pro- d ctlon of uranium concentrates during the last 12 months." Dr. Convey said. "In 1955 the advance is expected to be even greater."

"We don't expect to overtake the Belgian Congo for some time. However, you could any we are in a threatening position."

By GEORGE BOULTWOOD

BONN IAP)-The foreign office said Tuesday French Premier Pi- erre Mendes-France plans to meet West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer within the next two weeks. They probably will discuss again their accord on the Saar, which has proved unpopular among the Germans.

German sources said it is most likely Mendes-France will stop off in Baden-Baden-near the Black Forest resort where Adenauer will be staying-on his way back home from a three-day state visit to Italy ending Jan. 18.

While in Italy. Mendes-France is expected to discuss closer French- Italian economic ties and the tech- nical aspects of carrying out the projected rearmament of West Germany within the Western Eu- ropean Union.

France insists on sceptance of the controversial French-German agreement to Europeanize the German-speaking Saar territory as part of the package of treaties linking West Germany to the WEU and the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization.

Many German deputies of var- ious factions object to the agree- ment ss it stands.

The bureau hasn't even opened yet, but complaints are pouring in, Andre Tousignant, 38-year-old chief of the bureau. reported Tuesday. Most were serious and useful. but many other were off-beat , "You can say we have everything from soup to nuts. where com- plaints are concerned," said the jovial Tousignant. undaunted by the goulash.

MARRIAGE TROUBLE

A woman complained bitterly that her cat is missing and the police won't help. Two men with English accents were described as "h e a v i n g disgracefully” on a crowded streetcar. shoulder- ing their way through the strap- hangers.

Another woman was disturbed by a French-language television skit, in which one actor posed as a Toronto contractor with plans to build a subway in Montreal. The woman warned Mayor Drapeau not to award the contract to" "that man”-she didnlt like him. STILL CLOSED

Repori Ring Smuggles Aliens

ALBANY. N.Y. (AP)-The Knick- erbocker News reported Tuesday that an international ring, with con- tacts in Italy. Germany, Canada and the United States. has been smuggling aliens into the United States across the Canadian-north- ern New York border.

Federal officials are investigat- ing the size and methods of oper- ation of the ring. the paper said.

Aliens have paid as much as 33,000 each to the group to cross the Atlantic, the newspaper said, and an ocean vessel may have been involved.

Two young Italians who were smuggled into this state In 1954 have told almost identical stories to federal authorities.

One, I8-year-old Franco Zuccar- ello. appeared Monday in federal court here and pleaded guilty a charge of illegal entry. Judge James T. Foley sentenced him to serve 10 days in jail and laid the government should send him back to Italy as soon as possible. Assistant U.S. attorney Richard E.

U. S. Gov'I'. Puts Brakes Gently On Stock Boom

WASHINGTON (AP)-The gov- ernment applied the brakes gently to the stock market boom Tuesday night by increasing the required "down payment" on the purchase of stocks from 50 per cent to 60.

The action, taken by the federal reserve board, was designed to dampen speculative fervor before it reaches anything like the pitch which sometimes in the past has produced a boom-and-bust cycle.

But officials said only recently they saw little evidence of "alarm- ing" speculation, though the use of credit has risen. And Tuesday night's action in increasing margin requirements - the percentage of cash a purchaser must put up - was comparatively mild consider- ing the fact that back in 1946 the requirement was 100 per cent. STOCK BOOM

The present phase of the stock boom has been in progress for a number of weeks. Monday The As- sociated Press average of 60 stocks stood at 3156.40, a level topped only by the hll-time high of sl5'l.'l0 registered Sept. 3, 1929. Tuesday the market encountered a burst of selling but buying support ap- peared quickly and most shares closed considerably above their lows of the day.
