EDMONTON. Oct. 15 - (CP) - Harvest machines were sil- ent over much of the Prairies today. Snow covered all of Al- berta. and much of Saskat- chewan durlng the week-end. Harvesting was going ahead only in Manitoba.

Asslx-inch snowfall in Cen- tral Alberta, with temperatures in the low 20s, were reported overnight. Threshing in the north was halted. too. with snow covering still-wet grain fields.

Estimates show only about 80 per cent of Alberta's crop has been harvested.

loan to three Canadian banks.

In a preliminary statement on which he will eleaborate tomor- row, Finance Minister Aibbott said today in the Commons that the Government. which guaran- teed the loan. has paid the 31.- 2T5.C0i) instalment and asked the banks to institue "legal proceed- ings" against the Chinese com- pany.

But. he told George Drew. Pro- greasive Conservative leader. the Governrrnent has taken no action to withdraw the right granted to the company to fly the Cana- dian flag.

The company, operating between Hong Kong and the Chinese main- land. meanwhile has taken action to prevent seizure of its ships for non-payment of debt. A dispatch from Hong Kong Friday said the company is keeping the vessels in Red China ports.

Nina vessels were built for the company in mid through the loan granted by the Canadian banks and guaranteed by the Nationalist Government of China and the Canadian Government. With the Nationalists driven out of the mainland. Camda has become the sole guarantor. Two of the nine ships were believed to have been seized by the Reds.

The Ming Sung Company has a subsidiary company at Mon- treal. but since .th0 main head- quarters is in Hong Kongp of- ficialg believed the banks would have to ask British courts in Hong Kong for the right to seize the vessels.

The controversial Ming S ng issue sparked sharp parlismsn ry debate last spring when the Pro- greslve Conservatives charged that the ships. flying the Cana- dian flag. were carrying strategic materials from Hong Kong to the Chinese Reds.

Authority to fly the flag was granted by the Canadian Gov- ernment through a special order. Ca 's shippng lavn say that Britl subjects mint be in charge of the min before the Canadian flag ca flown. The Ming lung Ighs were manned by Chinese and other non-British D8103

U. s.,EIGI-IT!-I ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS. Korea, Oct. 16 (Tuesday) - (AP) - Communist resistance. stiffened on the cen- tral front Monday as Allied lnfan-' tzymen pushed a three-day offen- sive which has conquered nearly 100 square miles of North Korean territory.

In the rugged east. the U.S. 2nd

fully stormed the highest moun- tain peak between "Heartbreak Ridge" and the Pukhan River - a. towering crest 4.000 feet high. The victory came as the North Korean army communique boasted that Red troops had "annihilated" the 38th Regiment.

The west was comparatively quiet. However. the Communists stepped up their bisrrages of mor- tar and artillery fire from long

range.

Advances on the central front since dawn Saturday have carried the Allies five miles forward within light artillery range of the Red supply and headquarters city of Kumsong, 30 miles north of the 38th parallel.

AP. photographer Robert Schutz, reporting from this sector. said the Allies had captured a total of 29 hills.

The strongest Red resistance ap- peared to be almost directly south of Kumsong, where the veteran U. S. 24th Division and the Colom- bian battalion were attacking. The Colombians, fighting their first major action, won praise from Al- lied officers as "tough. hardy in- fantry."

Schulz said the 24th Division claimed 760 Chinese casualties Monday, including 261 counted

dead.

O'I'I'AWA. Oct. 15-- (Specie.l)-- Prime Minister St. Laurent this af- ternoon prsised the high quality of Northern Ontario potatoes in the course of the debate in the House of- Commons on living costs and inflation.

In cltlng prices of various food- stuffs to indicate that Canadian prices for essential foods are low- er than those in the United States, Mr. St. Laurent contrasted prices of Ontario potatoes in Ottawa with those of Maine and Long Is- land. Price of the Ontario product. he said. is four cents less per 10- pnund bag than those grown in the U. S.

"I am sure a good many would feel that Ontario potatoes are Just us: good as Maine or Loni: Island potatoes". he said. "I know for a fact that I got some from northern

Prime Minister Apparently Unfamiliar With Quality Of

sland Potatoes

Ontario from is friend of mine who was kind enough to send a bag to 24 Sussex Street (the Prime Minister's house), and they are as nice potatoes as I have ever seen anywhere in the world.

This evening members from no- tato-growlng constituencies in the Maritimes and elsewhere pondered Mr. St. Laurent's plug for potatoes grown in Ontario. Both New Brun- swick and Prince Edward Island members said they were sure the Prime Minister had not examined first-grade table stock from those Provinces recently or he would have hesitated in giving the Ont- ario tubers such rating.

It is regarded likely that in the next two weeks. bags of choice Maritime potatoes will be shipped by express and delivered to the back door of Mr. st. Laurcnt's home on the shore of the Ottawa river so that he will be in a position to make a fair comparison.

lDrew Deddres Current Trend Serious tjciler

OTTAWA. Oct. I5 - (GP) 1' " s the three Opposition parties in the Commons today de- manded Government action to stem rising prices.

They were told by Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent that only one anti- lnflatlonary measure is contemp- lated at this time, but others may develop.

George Drew of the Progressive Conservative Party and M..). Cold- well of the C. C. F. backed up their aims with motions which technic- ally call for votes of non-crinfid- ence in the government.

Mr. Drew's motion called for "adequate steps" to "combat inflation and deal effectively with the high cost of llving." Mr. Coldwell went farther and requested price controls and subsidies to equalize the sacri- fices which people are asked to make at this time.

Mr. St. Laurent said the only anti-lnflatlonary measure contem- plated would prohibit producers from fixing the retail prices of their goods. And that measure. recommended by a combines com- mission. is not likely to have a "very substantial effect" on the cost of living. It may. he said. "bring about some changes in re- sale prices."

The party leaders spoke in the debate on the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne road Oct. 9 at the opening of the tall session.

Face Major Defeat

Mr. Drew said that unless the problem of inflation is "tackled we face a major defeat." He criticized some of the credit restrictions im- posed by the government and call- ed for a repeal of increases last

spring in the sales and excise taxes. Mr. Colclwell said Canada and

the United States have allowed in- fiction to "run wild." The Canad- ian Government had instituted a policy of iiratloning by the purse." pricing many Canadians right out of the consumer-commodity mar- ket.

Potato Prices Advance In New Brunswick

SAINT JOHN. N.B.. Oct. 15- (CP) - A sudden jump of about 25 cents here today in the whole- sale price for a 75-pound bag of potatoes indicated the possible

product.

Prices to dealers of 31.70 last Monday and 31.00 on Friday reached s2.l5 and in some cases 52.? today.

J. K. King. deputy minister of agriculture, said at Fredericton tonight that potato production ap- peared down about 20 per cent from last year. A '

Growers. faced last year with a selling price which did not meet producldon and storage 00815. had planted only 49.400 acres in New Brunswick this year. compared with 50,600 last year. The yield per acre this season was good and the quality seemed excel- lent.

Mr. King said there would probably be an adequate supply but no more. with a hizh '”iD0'-'5 demand affecting the home mar- ket. Prices normally advanced from month to month.

KAPUSKASING. 0l'li.. Oct. 15 -(CP)- Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip today flew into the Northern Ontario push to receive an open-handed welcome from the frontier people of this little paper-mill town and neighboring communities.

Knpuskasing's 5,000 population was at least quadrupled for the big day. And surging enthusiasts burst police lines to get closer to the pair as the Princess made her first outdoor speech of the visit from the balcony of her hotel.

The' crowd of perhaps 20.000 milling around "It: hotel swarmed over its lawns yelling ”We want Elizabeth” as they awaited her appearance. She gave them a 1'75- word speech of thanks for the wei- come.

Today. the Princess. under a heavy schedule since arriving in Canada last Monday. lookecl.frcsh and rested despite a. 496-mile plane trip fi'om Windsor. Her smile came quick nnd slmrklinz. while Philip was affable and lip-

Tonight. they slept in the Eliz- iabeithan-siyle Kapuskoslng Inn here. getting ready for the long western leg of their trip that opens at Winnipeg tomorrow. They take off from here at 10 a. in. EST in the government's silvery C-5 plane.

The royal couple had a pleasant Iii-hour flight today from wind- sor to this community nestling just 100 miles southwest of James Bay's soulhem extremity. In calm weather. they flew high over the mend terrain carpeted with spruce and pine.

At the airport backed out of the bush three miles from the town. their plane came down at 3:27 p. m.. three minutes ahead of sched- ule. About 1.000 onlookers. too im- patient to wait for the downtown parade and balcony appea ubc. lined the airport fence.

WINDSOR. 0nt.. Oct. is -(cP)- Tha Windsor: of Ontario and lngiand were linked today by a winsome Princess.

To the acclaim of hundreds of tl'iI0i11Il'ldl, Princess Eiinbeth sa d:

The spirit and understanding were close on this the eighth day of Princess Elizabeth's and Prince Philip's vi.sit' to Canada. They came to its southernmost city where. to see the United States, they had to look directly north at Detroit's breath-taking skyline.

And the greeting itself was breath-takicz as an estimated 200.000 Detrolters swarmed across bridge and through tunnel to help neighboring Windsor extend a gay welcome to touring royalty for 3.',5 hours. It went on from 9:50 a. m. to 1:10 p. in. when Philip and Elizabeth flew to Northern Ontario's Kapuskasing en route to western Canada.
