One 0f City's Worst Riots For Yea_rs_

JOHANNESBURG. Feb. 13 (AP) — Police and natives tough‘. each other tonight in the Johan- nesburg area. lt was onc of the city's worst riots in years.

About 100 natives attacked pOIICJ and stoned cars and a railway sta- IJQH- 130th Sidfs exchanged gun- fire. There was no immediate re- port. on any casualties.

The trouble began when a flyingsquad of police tried to ar- rest a native. He resisted, and residents from the New Clare lo- cation, a native area, came to his assistance. .

The police were forced to with- draw, but one of their sergeants was isolated. Three natives smug- gled hlm into a house.

Strong police reinforcements then opened fire on the rioiers and used tear gas to bring the sergeant back out safely.

Some native rioters also open- ed Vfire, and others attacked the police with a barrage of stones. The natives then stoned the rail- way station and a passing train.

Report Important Step In Curing Common Cold k

another egg. The cold germ. they

BALTIMORE, Feb. l3 ~ (AP)- By working with volunteers at a state reformatory, two Johns Hop-

kins doctors apparently have isolated and transmitted one strain of whatever it is that causes colds. Probably a virus, or many viruses. Isolating the Germ is an important step in learning how to kill it.

Dr. Thomas G. Ward, assistant

professor of bacteriology at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, and Dr, Don- ald F. Proctor, a nose and throat specialist at the School of Medi- cine, will report on their work tonight at the Johns Hopkins Medical Society.

Researchers have been con- fident for a couple of years that they could grow the cold germ in chicken eggs incubated and in- jected with the nasal discharge of a man with a cold.

They took the germ out of one chicken embryo and planted it in

Western Delegates Fear Dispute Over Kashmir

First Blizzard

By NORMAN ALTSTEDTER

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 13 —-(CP) Western delegates at the United Nations are worried lest the dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir weak- en the West's position in Asia.

The issue has been before the

U.N. for more than two years with no solution in sight. Six. teen months of fighting stopped

with a cease-fire Jan. 1, 19-10, but there is yet no final truce.

The dangers were pointed up lo- day when Sir Zafrullah Khan, Pakistan's Foreign Minister, told a press conference that the Pak- istart--G0vernment is finding - it difficult. to teach patience to the people who are waiting for a plebiscite to decide Kasllmirs status.

Similarily, Indian politicians re- cently have been reported em- phasizing the possibility of re- newed fghting.

Resumption of a shooting con- flict which might lnvoive millions in the sub-continent. is not the only factor feared by Western delegates. They deplore alsothe present situation where both In- dia and Pakistan are spending more th-an sizeable portions of their budgets for building up de- fences.

This arms burden, coupled with the disorganization of trade, weak- ens both countries — counted on by Western Powers to be bastions against the spread of Communism in Asia.

Pakistan has ‘ accepted Lhe pro- posals submitted by Gen. A. G. LyMcNaughton of Canada for de- mllitarizalion of Kashmir to pave the way for a plebiscite among its 4,000,000 inhabitants to decide whether they wish to be Indians or Pakistanis. India has rejected the proposals, arguing that Pak- istan forces should be completely withdrawn before India begins to reduce her forces.

Nevertheless. both have agreed there should be a plebiscite. The Council is expected to recom- mend further mediation to try to get an agreement on withdrawal of armies from the rich country.

Fish In Storage

OTTAWA, Feb. 13 -— (CP) Stocks _of fish in cold storage dropped during January, the Bur- eau of Statistics reported today.

Stocks nt Feb, 1 totalled 31,741,- 000 pounds, In addition, there were 2.022.000 pounds of frozen fresh sea fish and 17,000 pounds of frozen smoked sea. flnh stored In Newfoundland.

Stocks at Jan. 1 were 39.258000 pounds and at Feb, 1, 1949, were 32.284900.

The holdings at Feb. 1 were made up of 29,885,000 pounds froz- en freah and 1.876.000 pound: froz- en smoked.

In tests, the doctors took l9 prisoners who volunteered. They were isolated for a time and checked carefully for colds. No colds.

Nine of the 19 were injected with matter from an egg that had been infected with a "fifth gen- eration" cold germ. The other 1U were given a harmless fluid.

Two other doctors checked the 19 men- after five days. "Six of the nine men given the germ de-

veloped colds. Onc of the I0 “controls" had a trace.

The experiment was repeated. Of the nine infected this time, four took colds and three more had traces. None of the “con-

trols" came down.

Then five of the "controls" were injected. Four got colds and the fifth developed a trace.

OI Winter In South Ontario

By The Canadian Press

First blizzard of the winter struck Southern Ontario Monday with up to 10 inches of snow in

some areas. and today is east ultrough Quebec.

While clear, cold weather 00n- tinued 1n Northern Ontario, scuttl- ern areas of the Province saw snow whipped by strong winds into heavy drifts. The snowstorm was followerd by freezing rain in its eastward path, but snow and pain remained the general Ontario forecast.

Road conditions were dangerous in Western Ontarrio with Windsor reporting five inches of snow and rain by late Monday, compared io a falll of 3.9 inches 1n all of Janu- ary.

Snto-w is forecast to start early Tuesday in Montreal and Ottawa districts and promised to oonitlnufl all day with fairly strong winds. Little change in temperature was expected. A high of around 30 de- grees was reported at. Ottawa and Montreal today.

At Ottawa. snow-plow crews were geared for the expected storm. af- ter clearing up last. week's heavy

British iWinds May Be Harnessed For Power

By n. L. JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer The almost incessant winds,

which lash the coast of Brltaini may be harnessed to help beat the country's power shortage.

Authorities say it could be done through employment of‘ a modern version of the old wind- mill hooked up to electrical gen- erators. ln this way. they believe, the winds along Britain's west coast and in the north——some of the most constant in the world- could be yoked to save coal and manpower and even establish new industries.

The possibilities of windpower were stiggested as far. back as 1924, but only recently did they come in for serious consideration. The north of Scotland hydro- electric board now ‘is setting up_a IOO-kilowati. windmill generator in the Orkncys and the British elec- tricity authority is considering building a similar experimental unit.

Power For Free

The Rural Electrification and Wlndpower Branch of the Elec- trical Research Associalion has just completed a two-year survey on the subject. It concluded that B00 wind-driven generators set up on coastal hilltops could save Britain almost 4,000 ions of coal a year.

An association official, R. W. Golding, said windpower has the obvious advantages of being free and inexhaustible. Uncertainty of continuity might be overcome by installation of diesel engines for use when winds failed to blow

Gives Vie-Ts AI , Horticultural I Council Session

OTTAWA, Feb. 1J1 —-(CP) -— ‘Illerc are people in the world who are making it difficult. for Canada to distribute food surpluses to areas wherethey are needed. Agri- flulturu Minister Gardiner said to-

ay.

Conditions in the world are not yet normal and Canada is prod-uc- Lug surplus foodstuffs which "are needed somewhere," Mr. Gardiner told the opening session of tthe Canadian Horticultural council an- nual convention. The Council is meeting for three days.

He said some people are making if. difficult to move these surpluses

to the areas where they can be consumed. IVII. Gardiner (lid not identify

these persons. However, it appeared to be a reference to the Canadian proposal for establishment ctf an intemattional commodity clearing house, turned down by the United Nations Food and Agricultural 0r- Eanization.

Mr. Gardiner did not identify Lll-Bse persons. However, lt appear- ed lo be a reference lo the Cf-llflllfl- ian proposal for establishment of an international commodity clear- ing house, turned down by the United Nations Food and Agri- cultural organization.

Potatoes. Apples In Surplus

Following Mr. Gordiners ad- dram. the delegates heard tlhat a surplus of 4.000.000 bushels cif ap- ples would aDDcar on tlhe 1950- crop scene if the current estimate cf 18,000,000 bushels materialized. Potatoes also would be in over- supply and the 1950 price prospect for these items was not encourag- mg.

Mr. Gardiner told the 1.25 dele- gates. representing more than 175,- 000 fruit and vegetable gardeners. that “we new,» considered rattlter small potatoes when the world vtas preparing l or war."

The dislocation fro-m peace to warr had calmed "thmso living in Canada. considerable punishment." Yet when the war broke out. Can» ado lumped in to help, '

Now. one of 111m countries it ltad helped-the United Kiilgdirrn-waa buying from other sources because it did not have the dollars with which to buy from Canada. The countries Canada had assisted now were buying from others. rather than from Canadians who depend on selling foodstuffs for a liveli- hood.

Canada had problems 1n market- ing. and those problems cove-red both potatoes and apples.

The apple market Ln the U. K. and in Europe had disappeared. The potato market In the United States and in South America shill existed, alilhough Mr. Gardiner noted that American growers were not too happy about the Canadian exports.

He also pinpointed a peculiar aspect of this problem. The U. S. Government was buying domestic potatoes, dyeing the product blue and selling it back as feed at one

no reason why wr- should nut ifs-rt it again." Several hundred sltcsl could be found tn the country

for vuind-drlvcn generators with :1 capacity of 2.000 kilowatts each. i

Besides the coal itself, manyi man-hours of mine labor could be saved and transferred to othlr industries.

The modern wind-driven gen- erator would be a far cry from the old corn-grinding windmill. It would have 50-foot steel blades like those of an airplane propeller and would be set up on giant steel towers. Its installation cost would be twice that of a steam- driven generaqng plant but sup- ervision and upkeep would be much lower.
