New Evidence in Case of Missing Mrs. lemay

KEY WEST, Florida. March 20 -(OP)-A deputy sheriff present- ed "new evidence" today to a grand jury investigating the disappear- ance of Mrs. Huguette Lemay and told reporters afterwards he be- lieves the missing Montreal beauty died as the result of "an act of violence."

Deputy Sheriff Jaincs O. Bark- cr, who has been working on the case since the 21-year-old girl vanished Jan. 4 while fishing with her husband in the Florida Keys, declined to reveal what new de- velopments he had placed before the Monroe County grand jury. Sessions of a grand jury are held in camera and evidence placed be- fore it is secret until the jury hands up an indictment or an 'announcement is made by the district attorney. .

Barker said that he believes Mrs. Lemay is dead "and that she was the victim of an act of viol- ence."

He declined comment, however. on a report that a. blood-stained robe has been found under a bridge on the Tamiami Trail near the Lemays' fishing spot.

Barker said earlier this week that "considerable additional in- formation" has been uncovered and he expressed hope Mrs. Le- may's husband. George. would re- turn here in view of the develop- ments.

Lemay. who spent nearly three weeks here in January trying to find some trace of his wife. was reported in Montreal as undecided whether to return.

The girl. who spoke only French. was not seen again after she left her husband at Tom's Harbor Bridge to walk to their car 150 yards away.

The search that followed cov- ered the keys and trails leading into southern Florian .-watery wilderness. Several persons re- ported that they had seen her either on the Tamiami Trail or in Miami but police followed each clue to a dead end.

On Aid To

OTTAWA. March 20-(CP)-Two former provincial premiere. now sitting on opposite sides of the Commons. today agreed that the province: should have sufficient revenues to provide equality of education for all children. They disagreed on whether the provin- ces now can afford to spend more on education.

Justice Minister Garaon. former premler and treasurer of Maui- toba. suggested federal-provincial taxation agreements have placed the provinces in a position where they can spend more on education. Amounts spent by them on high-

ways and bridges were greater than on education. George Drew. former premier

and minister of education in On- tario, said his Progressive Con- Iervatlve Party believes a fed- eral-provinclol confernece should be called to readjust taxation to provide the provinces with ade- quate revenues for education.

M. J. Caldwell. C.C.l-I leader and a former school teacher, said everything should be done to raise standards of education. especially in literature and use of language. The problem called for more and more financing and the munici- polities and the provinces could not carry' the burden.

The views were expressed dur- ing continued debate on in motion of R. R. Knight (CCF-Saskatoon). it urged the government to con- llder "means of , ndlng and equallzl educational opportunity across Canada. by the granting of financial assistance to the various province: for that purpose."

Mr. Drew, concluding a speech started yesterday. said the Gov- eminent should he prepared to no-

Mr. Drew added:

"It is not it case of education still farlhcr. We are confronted with the imminent danger that education is going to go back rrtiher than ahead be- cause of it shortage of teachers, and because of the increasing dif- flculiy encountered by municipal and educational authorities in providing the money to meet heavy educational crisis."

Mr. Carson. stressing that he was expressing personal views. said he agreed that education is

Universities were u-If-governing and non-political. Primary schools were under the active control and supervision of provincial depart- ment: of education.

If the Federal Government made large grants to primary ed- ucation. "the Dominion treasury simply could,not defend handing out these large sums of money to the legislatures without nnumlng some responsibility as to the man- ner in whieh"they would be spent." said Mr. Garcon.

it Operation

A comprehensive review of the various sections of his department was given members of the Legisla- ture yesterday by Hon. Eugene Culleu, Minister of Industry and Natural Resources. when he rose to take part in the debate on the Draft Address.

He devoted much of his speech to a disotpaion of the position of the fishing industry of the Prov- ince and told of the efforts made to aid fishermen. principally through the purchase of draggers to increase the catch and landed value of the yearly fisheries.

Mr. Cullen said little could be industry in shellfish (lobsters, oysters. qua- haugsi becausn it was not being exploited to the limit. The catch of lobsters was about the same as in depression years even though there were many more boats and men engaged in the industry than there were in war years. The only possible way to increase the value here. he said. wds to use a conser- vation measure and increasg the weight to make more of the lob- sters come in the 'market” class which commands it higher price. Adding to the number of men fishing lobsters only meant a de- crease in revenue per man He thought the only way to increase the revenue was to decrease the cost of fishing and said for this purpose Federal Government re- search was going on to determine if small diesel engines could be de- vised for fihlng boats. The lower cost thus achieved would mean more income.

Lower Average Price

He said the average price paid here for lobsters was three to seven icents lower than that paid in Nova scotla becausp of the larger size lobsters caught there. People here.

to wait for the lobsters to grow larizer.

He dealt at length w th this class of fish because he said that in the year 1050 lobsters accounted for 82 percent of the landed value of ftsh in this Province. For that reason he said we were "tied" to that type fishing as they were all around the Island. Therefore the best hope of nlrllng fishermen was to do enmethlng for other fishing lines to improve the year round income. Mr. Cullen mentioned that con- servation was not such an import.- ant matter in the ease of other types of fish as they appear to come to otir shore by chance any- way. But the revenue accruing from them could be increased by better handling and he mentioned partic- ularly a new fast. system of handllmt hei-rlnir. He told the oth- er members that at Mt. Carmel the fishermen were installing a new smoke-house which would hold l.l00 barrels. It cost 95.000 and the Gov- ernment. had loaned the money to help build it.

I New Di-agger To Operate

Another way to increase the all- year revenue was to go offshore to follow the fish with bigger boats. A new dragger which can be used for selning will he in operation this summer and it is intended to try to catch herring in the Gulf of st. Lawrence.

The situation regarding mackerel was the same as the herring. Im- provements had been noted in the matter of melts in recent years.

Taft quit the New Jersey con- test with an angry blast accusing New Jerseyls governor Alfred E. Driscoli of "political trickery" in throwing the weight of the state Republican machine behind Eisen- hower.

He told the senate during the throne-speech debate that the. Federal Government is proposing,

to spend millions for the st. Law-. rence seaway and power project! Most Marltlmers did not object, "very strongly" to this as it would bring advantages to many parts of the country.

But the Maritimes also needed power. He suggested that the Maritime members of both Houses of Parliament should confer wiihl Federal authorities on ilie possibil-i ii)" of getting federal aid for Marl- tinie power development. I

It had been suggested in the past, he said. that the Federal Government should shoulder a third of the cost of Maritime power, development. Perhaps something like this could be put forward atl the conference. l

He reviewed the economy of his province and stressed its agricult-E ural importance to Canada. But ilic Island's farmers had thelrl problems.
