A call to Col. K. S. Rogers. city, and within five cninutes he was in contact with a "ham" station in Winnipeg. A call to the Free Press newspaper office there revealed that the plane. a Piper Cub, with pilot and passenger had landed safely.

The Rev. Mr. Henderson was ordained in Zion Presbyterian Clhurcli. Charlottetown. and when n student minister served in the Canoe Cove-Clyde River circuit. Hc is well known in the Province. As well as being a minister in the Manitoba town he is also Mayor of Portage La Prairie.

The English version that was rc- lcased was agreed upon only after prolonged debate among the rc- malnlng top figures of the govern- ment. I-‘lnailyi former Premier Chang Chun telephoned Chlung ni Fengliwa and the Gcnernllsslmo shouted corrections over the line.

Even then, skeptics commented Chiang had "decided" to retire; that he had not said he actually had rctlrcd. .
