Opposition members openly ex- pressed their resentment at the cavalier treatment given MI. Mc- Lure by the Speaker and over the "muzzling" tactics attmipted by Dr. Fauteaux.

Although Charles G. Ross, pres- idential secretary, said Mr. King's selection was “Pfonoimced accept.- able to both the coal miners and operators." whether the miners would work under federal man- agement was not immediately d0- tennined.

Returning i

NEW YORK. May 21 _ 1C1‘)- Ulric J. (S ud) Arsensult started his 4,400-mle trek back to the Yellowknife goldfielda today with- out fulfllling the expectation that he would paint: the. town red \vli:h $1.000 bi-lls.

Last week Spud flew from Yel- lowknife, just north of the Arctic Circle. and was paid $100,000 in cash-in $50 bills - and 250.000 shares of stock at Toronto for the

‘mining claim where ha had made

his first strike in 35 year: of Arc- tic prospecting.

He made an initial mistake at Toronto when he told newspaper- men that he would like to get mur- ried and settle down. The news

‘travelled ahead of him and from

then on the 47-year-old bachelor was plagued with telephone calls from prospective brides and other: who advanced many ideas for lis- posing of his fortune.

$100,000 Is Inked

When Spud left New York last night his $100,000 was intact, stow- ed sway safely at Edmonton, unip- lng-off point for the Arctic. where it had been transferred from Tor- onto before he left for New York. Srpud, who cannot realize his good fortune, is hurrying on to Edmon- ton. just to see it and make sure it is there.
