Demands 2515

TORONTO (CF) c- A jaiigiing telephone Tuesday delivered a ti3.000 ransom demand to the heartbroken parepts of an eight. year-old girl missing since Fri- day.

Police said the call. from a man who spoke slowly and clear- iv. was probably the work of a crank.

William MacLaod, stepfather of missing Judy Carter. demanded to hear his daughter's voice. The caller told him to have 515,000 by Tuesday night if he wanted to see the girl alive.

Meanwhile police. working amid a flood of misleading reports. checked lead after lead.

A girl was reported on a street- car with a rough-looking man about 55. She was crying for her mother. Police checked rooming houses through the west-central area where the two left the car.

Mayor Nathan Phillips offered I 8500 reward Monday bn behalf of the police commission.

The 30-year-old prime minister in a House of Commons a lasting 70 minutes. announced Britain has started manufactur- ing her own H-bomb. He also said his information is that the Russians have developed a type of bomb of only intermediate power.

But within the next few years there was ”every reason to be- lieve" they would develop more advanced weapons and the means to deliver them on North American targets. The only coun- try now able to deliver a full- scale attack with l:l.bombs at a few bours's notice was the United States.

CRIJSHING RE'l'ALlATl0N

The prime minister said the Soviet government should be con- vinceu that a surprise attack by them would cause immediate and crushing retaliation.

"All these considerations lead me to believe on a broad view that the Soviets would be ill-arl- viaed to embark on major ag- gression within the next three or four years." he said.

"But if. at the end of that time. there should be a supreme con- flict. the weapons which I have described would be available on both sides.

"it would be folly to suppose they would not be used."

"It does not matter so much to old people. They are going soon, anyway. -

Budget Deficit

OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government's first budget deficit in eight years was predicted Tues- day night by Trade Minister Howe.

While there has been much un- official speculation that Finance Minister Harris will announce a 1954-55 deficit. it was the first time a cabinet minister made the pre- diction.

”For the first time since 1946," Mr. Howe said in the Commons. "is net defecit is indicated."

Giving a review of economic conditions during a debate on un- employment, he advanced these reasons for his forecast:

"Tax collections have lower. . . .

"Even though incomes of most Canadians rose. the personal in- come tax has been reduced. is drop of two per cent during 1954. as comps at with the your previous.

"Sales and excise tax collections were also down five per cent, though total domestic sales . . . remained firm."

Improved Train Service Follows Correspondence

Matheson. in which the Premier strongly iivsed. muons other things.-the placing-of . a sleeper car from Charlottetown to Mont- real on the "Ocean Limited" in connahttlon with its proposed im- proved rall service. the Canadian National Railways authorities have announc d that this connect- ion will be incorporated in the new service to be started on April 24.
