The surprise statement. by bert Morrison, Deputy Prime 151/01’. that the international posi- tion "gives cause for anxiety," overshadowed the purpose of ciie session-to have the Commons again pass the Parliament Bil. cutting from two years to one the period for which the Lords can veto Commons’ legislation.

In the absence of Prime Min.

_ ister Attiee, recovering from an

illness, Morrison entered the he. bate in the reply to the Speech from the Throne to announce:

,'1‘he state of the world “un-

happlly" has forced the Govern- ,

merit to change its demobilization ilans.

National servicemen due for re lease in the next few months and who had been expected to serve s total or! one year, will be re. tained for an extra three months. They can be held for a total of ll months without new legislation.

The strength of the forces at. the year-end will be about 80.000 greater than if the original de- mobilization plans were carried through. The white paper cote;- ll}: the Government's manpower Plans for the year previously had estimated the armed forces’ strength at the end of i948 so i30,0D0.

_l\fen called for service in 1949 will be liable for one year of ccm. Puisory service under existing ieg~ islation.

Morrison's statement on defence which came after preliminary brisk exchanges with the Oppogl. lion on tie Parliament Bill, ca». eluded:

"This should not be received in any panicky spirit aha of course it is regretted that such a state. merit should have to be made."

Morrison told tlie Commons that Britain since 194.5 had carried out. a constant demobilization program but. that now ‘the state o! the world makes some change of plan inevitable."

He said "we must accelerate the improvement of the equipment, heathen. especially in the net-is o: sir defence. armor and infantry weapons.

Mystery 0f Rocky Island Excites Farmers

LONDON, Sept. l4~iReuters>— The mystery of a rocky islan-i ll’. the Irish Sea which is producing fat cattle oi a high grade though there seems hardly anything for them to eat is intriguing farmers all over Britain. .

No feeding stuffs are being tin ported to the island, Skomea, which rises gliuritly from the sea three miles off the West Wales mainland.

The island‘ is about 800 acre... with no trees or other shelter from fierce winds which blow about it. Yet heifers are bringirg their owner as much as £50 102001 each above purchase price after about 1B months stay on the 1s- land.

According to the British weekly agricultural journal, Farmer and Siockbreedcr, soil analyses have provided no explanation. but "e- ccnt samples of growth on the is- land have revealed rich forms of sorrel and campion plants.

One theory is that these herbs, usually regarded as having low nutritive value, are stimulated by the droppings of the vast flocks of seabirds which wheel about tlic island and thus gain beneficial qualities as yet unknown to bo tanists.

So eager are the cattle to find these weeds that some lose their footing and fall over the 300-l0ut high cliffs.

Five German " Demonstrators Get 25 Years

u. s. corEi Clay Believes Berlin Crisis Will llot Lead To War.

(By George Bria)

BERLIN, Sept. 14 — (AP) —-A Russian court sentence of 25 years at hard labor for five flflll—c'.l‘.l~ munlsts infuriated Western Ber’ n today.

‘Twenty-five years at forced labor is the same as 25 death so..- teiiees." shouted a labor leader a lan extraordinary protest mcetiii: iof the city's three anti-Communist parties.

Cries of "inhuman" and ‘Nazi justice" rang through the hall.

The Soviet court sentenced the tive youths after a secret day- lciig trial yesterday. They were charged with participating in las: Thursdays‘ anti-Russian mass our, burst which hroke into‘ street fighting and gunfire from Russian tioops and their German police.

Otto Suhr. socialist speaker of the city assembly, demanded that an international commission ‘zti vcstigate both the verdict. and the causes of the Thursday rioting.

Meanwhile, Geu. Lucius D. Clay. United States military goverl-oi told a group of visiting American nelvspapermen that he did not. Lie- lleve "war is just around the coir. er" because oi‘ the Berlin crisl...

He predicted that the Uniltcrl States would adopt "all other means at its disposal" before seek- ing a. forceful showdown over the 82-day Soviet blockade, arid ezv- pressed doubt that the Rilssians ‘will make Berlin the final ssue on the entire German problem."

Asked whether Britain and the United States planned to "keep up the air lift forever" if negotia- tions break down, Clay said that decision would have to be made by the Governments.

If the blockade remains through the winter, he said "we may not. be as warm as in the past" but the hardships would not be as grwt as two or three years ago.

British anal American planes set a record today, flying 5,286 tons of ft-nd and fuel into the city.

Clay repeated there were Flo plans to evacuate American wives and children from Berlin. Trans- fers this summer. however, have cut the number of dependents to about 1,100, or by half.

HALIFAX, Supt. l4 -— (C?) — A sun-tanned pair of 20th'oen- tux-y adventurers arrived here to- day for their second attempt to cross the Atlantic in an amphibi- ous duck.

Undsumted by their failure to rrake the trip several weeks ago when a bearing broke, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Carlin said they believed they could make it this time "with a, liitiie luck."

0n the first trip. they were picked up by the tanker New Jer- sey and taken to Montreal. They left there late Friday and drove the craft to Halifax.

Today, while the Carllns were absent. crowds gathered about the bsrnaole-enerusted. battered (luck en a Halifax ‘pier. Kids swarm- ed over the vehicle peerinG through u-indows and scrambling underneath.

Old salts stood looking on, and

"you know, if you were going to try that, I'd think you were nuts."

How do the Carlins feel about these sentiments? Mrs. Carlin shrugged and asked. "wihy do people climb mountains and c-ross deserts?"

Neither are worrying about" whsit might h-apipen should their craft develop trouble. "After all," asked 31-year-old Mrs. Carlin, “What. could we do?"

She said the idea for the voy- age, which they hope to stretch into l round-the-world journey. originated with Mr. Carlin when serving with the Indian army. When he returned to the United states, he bmight the duck and. spent i8 YTOIWIIR remodelling it.
