Saskatchewan Bridge Destroyed By

Million-Dollar Structure Losi In 15 Seconds

SWIFT CURRENT. Sask.. April 0--(CP)-A flood crest in the ice- jammed south Saskatchewan Riv- er early today knocked out in 15 seconds a new 81,000,000 bridge that took two years to build.

Three steel spans in the centre and one concrete sp at the north end of the S skatchewan Landing bridge, completed only last year, went out at 1:55 AM.

EST. . Water which had been up to the floor of the bridge rose an- other three feet as the flood crest came downstream from Med- icine I-lat, Alta. Within three hours after the bridge collapsed the river level had dropped by 14

feet.

All that remains of the bridge. a. 1,215-foot structure linking the southwestern corner of Saskatch- ewan with the province's west-cen- tral region. are three concrete spans at the south end and two concrete spans at the north end.

The steel superstructure of the centre spans which went into the river disappeared without truce. Nothing can be seen of it beyond an eddy in the current which marks its place in the stream

bed.

Army engineers Saturday had blasted a big ice Jam eight miles below the bridge. But the blast had no apparent effect on the level of the water at the bridge.

The bridge. 35 miles north of Swift Current. was completed last year but most of the wori: was done in 1950. There was no trou- ble when the ice went out last spring. The bridge replaced a ferry which had been in service 68 years.

Ice had ben piled up for '10 miles upstream from the bridge. Pioneer residents said it was the worst jam they had seen in years.

Damage lo the 51,000,000 siruct- ure was estimated at between 8200.000 and 3300.000. Mr. Douglas said the span will be repaired "within three months."

Centre spans of the bridge were swept away with a roar at 1:55 A. M. EST, hours after it had been thought the danger had les- geried with receding water levels.

Island Artistis Portrait Of Alexander Accepted By Canadals National Gallery

(By A. R. Sykes)

OTTAWA - An oil painting of Earl Alexander, British Minister of Defence and immediate past Gov- ernor-General of Canada from the brush of Hubert Rogers, noterl por- trait painter and former Prince Ed- ward Isiander. ha been accepted for hanging in the National Gallery of Canada.

It is the second important mor- trait of the former Field-Marshal to achieve prominence in Ottawa art circles in the past few weeks. The first, painted by Mrs. Lilla: Newton of Montreal. was unveiled by His Excellency Vincent Massey in the Parliament Buildings re- cently, and will be added to the long line of Governor-Generals' portraits at Rideau Hall.

Mr. Rogers' painting differs widely in conception and treatment, to that by Mrs. Newton. Art critics here say Mr. Rogers was in finest. form in his delineation of His Ex- cellencyts strong and mobile face The expression is serious but not severe, and a glint of humor is de- tectable beneath ihe soidierly hear- ing and expression. c

At the sittings. His Excellency was wearing full uniform of a Brit- ish Field Marshal, with the wings? of the Royal Canadian Air Force which he won during his term in this country, standing out sharply above the long rows of medals for gallantry, orders, and campaign iii- slgnla. The former Governor-Gem erai's left hand rests lightly near the buckle of his sam Browne beli

Wonderful Experience

"It was 9: wonderful experii-nce'. Mr. Rogers told The Guardian, "to talk with Earl Alexander and to paint him. He was most generous

"Lady Alexander sat for me too and I am Just completing that por- trait ncw. She is very charming and most helpful in aiding the painter to do the best work the can."

Grandson of A former Lieuten- ant-Governor of Prince Edward Is- land. Mr. Rogers was born at Al- berton which he revisited in 1947 after a long absence. He plans to spend at least two months there and at other points in the Province this Summer.

OTTAWA. April 8 -(CP)- The government is trying to find out whether Canada could seize the. seven controversial Ming Sung, ships by force even if the chance presented itself.

There is some doubt that she could legally grab them even if one or more of Canada's three destroy- ers in the Far East waylaid them on a dash from Canton along the Chinese coast to Shanghai.

Reports out of Hon: Kong that that the seven ships, built. regis- tered and mortgaged in Canada. have been seized by the Chinese Reds and may make the 9&0-mile run to shanghai have prompted both parliamentary questions and government inqury in Ottawa.

Al I time when Canada is an- xiously agslnst any step that might participate general war with Red China, she is not likely to send her destroyers into Chinese terri- torial waters to seize the ships. But some are of the opinion the ships would have to come outside the three-mile limit occasionally in such a voyage because of shoals

The ships are the ones built in Quebec after the war and given permission to fly the cgnndiim flag in Oriental trade. Use of the Canadian flag was originally ex- plained as a step to prevent seiz- ure by the Reds.

Biiler Debate

OTTAWA. April 6-(CF) -Re- distribution of representation in the Commons, always ll controver- sial lssue, may provide the basis for one of the most contentious debates of the current session. Western farmers, in particular. are aroused over the threatened loss of seals in their areas. A government move Friday to ease the blow to Saskatchewan was welcomed. but it did not remove all opposition. i

Under the constitution. rep- resentation in the Commons must be revised every 10 years on the basis of the latest census.

On the basis of the 1951 cen- sus and the redistribution form- uia in the British North America Act, Saskatchewan would lose five of its 20 seats and Manitoba would lose two of its 16 seats. Nova Scotia would lose one of 12 seats. British Columbia would gain four seats and Ontario and Quebec two each. Other provin- ces would remain unchanged.

A bill providing for the changes was introduced in ihe Commons and given first reading March 10. Prime Minister St. Laurent sponsored the measure, but said that redistribtuion was a task imposed by the constitu- tion on Parliament and not on the government.

Plans were made for establish- ment of an all-party committee to study redistribution.
