Drive To Sell I More Canadian Arms Toll; S.

o'1'rAWA. July 23 (cp) The government is preparing to send a "super-salesman" to Wash- ington soon in a. new drive to boost American defence buying in this country.

It was learned today that the man will be chosen from Canadian industry and stationed in Wash- lngtori.

His Job will be to concentrate on the needs of American fighting forces and to interest American officials in placing more orders for Canadian-built armament. gen- eral electronics equipment, ships. aircraft and aircraft parts, guns and ammunition.

Behind the drive is the stead- ily-climblng gap in American-Cans fan defence: spending. with the balance heavily in favor of the United states.

Wanis Olilpui Of Weapons Increased Three Times

WAS!-HNGTON. July 23 - (AP) -President. Truman outlined to Congress today a vast second- round expansion in United States military power, keyed in likely

new manpower calls and new billions in weapons. some Congressmen indicated

cautious acceptance of new mili- tary goals while others were more skeptical.

Whatever happens in Korea. Truman said. calls to the armed services may rise in "important respects" above the present goal' of 3.500.000 men.

Output of planes and tanks and other munitions tripled in the first year after the Korean war outbreak but now is lagging be- hind schedule. Truman said in his mid-yoar economic report to Con- gress.

in the second year of the Univ- ed States defence buildup. he said: "Weapons output. must be increased three times again -- four times for tanks - to a to- tal of SIi,000,000,000 every month by next June.”

And total military , outlays must jump from an annual rate of about 036.000,fll0.000 now to 366.000.000.000 in is year, includini 38.500.000.000 for foreign aid, he

sa .

All this. said Truman, is I "minimum program" which must be met "in the cause of national safety" and world peace. He said Russia has been building up since 194.5 to conquer free nations one by one or "blackmail the free world into submission."

Truman said he needs s law "which strengthens not. weakens. price control." He also called for highcr defence appropriations. stiffer taxes, strong controls in other economic fields.

Truman reported the share of national output tagged for de- fence purposes was about six per cenl: last year. 11 per cent.

Low cloud. rain and fog have prevented the searchers fnm covering more than a fraction of the ruggtd mountain area over which the lost plane was believed tn have been flying.

The four-engined DC-1 vanished early Saturday after reporting over Capo Spencer, 500 miles from Anchorage. Alaska. its first schad- uled stop on the flight to Tokyo.

Millions Of Bushels , Of Last Yearis Wheat

Prairies

SASKATOON. Jilly 23 - fCPl -Willi the end of the 1950-51 crop year only eight days away, grain men said today that mil- liona- of bushels of wheat in Northern Saskatchewan districts still are in elevators or undeliv- ered from farms.

A shipping bottleneck on 1 Great Lakes is blamed for

the the

ad eastward before the close of the crop year. In Montreal. ships are waiting to carry wheat in Europe. But. the grain elevator: at the St. Lawrence ports are nearly empty.

A new Prairie harvest is com- ing up. Unless ii way is found to get the old crop moved. there will be acute congestion at west- ern elevators.

In Regina, John H. Wesson. pre- sident of the Saskatchewan Wheat Paul. said the volume of grain moved out of terminal elevators during August will determine whether or not. the i950 crop is moved from the Prairies before the new crop is harvested.

Ml". Wesson said the shortage of space in Lake hosts is the -important factor in the current tie-up. He said that from April 1 until six weeks ago the Lake shippers had done a "reasonably good job of moving grain from icrmlrials but since then the switch to are cargo has brought a hotilenec ."

The ore trade is generally more profitable than grain for Lake ships.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Wheat Board in Winnipeg has notified farmers and line elevator com- panies that any old-crop grain delivered after midnight July 31 will not qualify for 1060-51-price sales and final payments.

A Board statement said that while congestion exists at a num- ber of delivery points. particular- ly in Saskatchewan, the Board is worlflnil closely with the railway complex to have sufficient box- cars placed at such points so that space will be available to accent remaining deliveries before the closing date. .

But Saskatoon grain men said there will be millions of bushels left when the crop year finds. some relief for North Saskatche- wan points will come when the first vessels reach Churchill to open the Hudson Bay grain-ship ping season.

Trade Minister Howe is under- stood to have a committee study- ing the situation. C.N.R. of- ficials in Winnipeg said there is no shortage of boxcar: for ship- ping grain.
