Predicts Labor Will Continue To Press Demands

OTTAWA (CP),H. Carl Golden- berg. Montreal lawyer and labor authority predicted Wednesday urganiz labor will continue to press for a number of measures. including higher living standards and increased social-security bene- fits. "Organized laborls demands do not affect wage-earners alone but are of broad public interest." he told the National Liberal Fereda- tionis advisory council.

Because of illness Mr. Golden- berg was unable to attend and his address was read by David Croll, Liberal MP for Toronto. Spadina. A partial text was re-I leased to the press.

WILL GAIN STRENGTH

Mr. Goldenberg said the pro- posed merger of Canada's two top labor bodies-the Trades and Labor Congress and the Can- adian Congress of Labor-”will undoubtedly add strength to the voice of organized labor."

"It will also add further to M responsibilities to the workers and to the nation. The movement will be judged by the WGY in which it exercises these respon- sibilities. This will be determin- ed in large part by the type 05 leadership it selects on the na- Ional and local levels."

It also will be determined, he laid by labor-rrianagement co- operation. by the acceptance of both groups that they have a common interest and by the at- Iitude of governments.

LONDON. (Reuters) - Britain Labor party chiefs decided Wed- nesday against expelling Aneurln Bevan and called for a united poi- itlcal front in "a determined en- deavor' 'to topple the Conservat- ive government.

The decision came amid new re ports that a national parliament- ary election will be called May 26. following the expected retirement from office of Prime Minister Churchill.

Bevan may well owe his escape from party expulsion to Labor's fears it could not afford a split between its leftists and rightist factions in face of the forthcoming campaign. '

IIAS LAST CHANCE

The E-member national execut- ive. the iabor party's governing body, approved a resolution ac- cepting the 57-year-old left wing Welshman's apology for defying party leader Clement Attlee in a parliamentary debate on the hy- drogen bomb early this month. But it promised "drastic action

Laboriies Drop Bevan Expulsion

against future violations of party 'I discipline."

In another statement the exe- cutive expressed "the hope that all sections of the movement will now unite in a determined endeavor to secure the return of a Labor gov- ernment at the general election."

The political correspondent of the Press Association reported "opinion in the House of Com- mons suddenly hardened this af- ternoon" that the election will be May 3. He said the government's decision may be influenced by a feeling that business is suffering from present uncertainty.

SEE CHANGE NEXT WEEK

Churchill is expected to hand over to Foreign Secretary Eden before leaving for a vacation in Sicily late next week.

The government may call for elections any time up to the ex- piration of its five-year term in October. 1955.

The Press Association said some politicians are so certain of the May 28 date that they are making campaign plans.

we Skeptical or Anti-Radar Paint

OTTAWA (CPieNavy and Na- tional Research Council scientists said Wednesday they are skeptical about reported development of an anti-radar paint.

They were commenting on a To- ronto report that a firm called Canadian Inventive and Scientific Associates claims to have n for- mula for a paint which can hide objects from a radar beam.

The scientists said. there is noth- ing new in the idea of radar camouflage. Such camouflage had been used for some time. but not in the form of paint. with "some measure" of success.

Approve Share Of Lobster Fishermen Loans

OTTAWA (CF) The Com. mons Wednesday approved pay- ment of the federal government's 3116.000 share of interest- free loans to Maritime lobster fisher- men to repair equipment damage caused by 1953 storms.

Finance Minister Harris said the loans already have been made by Nova Scoiia and Prince Edward Island. the provinces involved.

The federal government's share 775 per cent of the. loans-would be made to provincial govern- ments. it had been delayed until the full amount was known.

The Sll6.000 item was included in 853.93-4.000 in supplementary es- timates for the fiscal year ending: tonight which were passed by the Commons.

however we would have to sug- gest some form'of compensation to that country by finding some product suitable to the United States on which our existing duty could be lowered or removed”. "The worst feature", said Mr. MacDonald. "is that the U.S. maintains the right to impose for- mer import curbs and they have also insisted upon the right to waive their obligations with re- gard to agricultural products. in, other words the escape clauses! that were the weakness in the- former agreement have been in-

cluded in the new”.

TRADE CO-OPERATION

Mr. MacDonald said that an organization of trade co-operation is being established on a per- manent basis to administer the

operations. including the effect of the United States agricultural ad- justment act on the agreement itself. Under this legislation. he said. the US. now seeks to pre- vent table stock potato imports of a size smaller than 2V4 inches - an action which is causing the Canadian potato industry further annoyance at the present time.

"I believe." said Mr. MacDon- ald. "that while the present agree- ment ia disappointing in many ways. it is generalLy agreed that it is preferable to the probable trade anarchy that could easily develop it there were no agree- ment at all"

MOVEMENT ITILL HEAVY

Commenting on the potato movement at the present time, Mr. MacDonald said that it was still heavy with 1.000 cars shipped during the first four weeks of March. Weather and road condi- tions have been more favorable for moving potatoes than is us- ual in the month of March. Ha predicts a slacker movement for the next several weeks when highway transportation will be likely curtailed.

The Potato Board chairman states that the market during the past week has been very strong with Toronto quoting 32.85-82.70 per 75 lb. sack. This price. he says. should warrant producers receiving approximately 31.00 per bulk bushel.

"The unusual frost experienced in the Southern States over the last week-end" states Mr. Mac- Donald. ”ia largely responsible for the price increase and the potato price speculation now de- veloping. it will be a few more days before the exact extent of the damage becomes known. How- ever it is agreed that the potato crop in South Carolina. Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi has been seriously retard ."

R.C.A.F. Takes Delivery Of New Planes

GREENWOOD. N.S. rCPi-The air force took delivery Wednesday of two twin-engined Lockheed Nep- tune anti-subma inc bombers as the first of a squadron that will replace its trusty old Lancasters.

The squadron will expand stead- ily during the spring and and soon supplant the four-engined Lancs. RCAF workhorses for the last I4 years.

The sleek. blue-green Neptunes swept into this Annapolis valley air base from California, where they were delivered to RCAF crews who trained there especially to fly them.

Each of the Neptunes two pis- ton-driven engines can develop nearly as much power as the Lan- casters" four. The new planes can stay aloft for 12 hours and keep station 500 miles from base for six hours without refuclling.

RADAR DOME

Their sleek lines are broken only by a radar dome slung midway down the fuselage beneath the wings. Known as P2V-7's. the Neptunes are already in use by the RAF and USAF. .

The Neptunes are land-based. all-weather aircraft designed to search out. attack and destroy enemy submarines and surface vessels. Besides sub-hunting they will also take over the Lancasters' search and rescue operations. They are 90 feet long with a 104- foot wing span.

The Neptune squadron of Mari- time air command will be com- manded by Sqdn.-Ldr. H. M. Mac- Leod of Sydney, who piloted one of the-Neptunes on its flight from California via Dallas, Tex., and Norfolk. Va.

He said "it is not really fair" to compare the outdated Lancas- ters with the new craft because the Neptunes had a b edge in

equipment. He would not discuss speed.

He said originally opium smok- ing and cocaine was the problem in Vancouver. But the pattern had changed. Benzedrine and barbitur- ates and now heroin were in use. Heroin, now the most commonly used, reached Vancouver mainly from Mexico and was shipped through Vancouver to eastern cit-

The board approved a CNR ap- plication to abandon operations between 1-Iiilsboro and Albert on financial grounds. It-said the move would save the,railway an estimated 340.000 annually and would not seriously inconvenience the public.

There was insufficient traffic and no prospect of additional business to warrant continuation of the I-lillsboro-Albert section. The public was not being left with no form of transportation because a good paved highway parallelled the railway.
