were something on which prim- I&l-producera .could depend. -

. Cullen also stated that the

counsel for the C.N.R., Mr. Gra- ham Macbougnli. had brougit it out very clear in his quea nlng that anything less than I daily service in the Province would be inadequate. He suggested that if the present service were reduced the purpose for which the C.N.R. sought the reduction in service would be de- feated. ''I don't think there is any doubt but that other trans- portation servicea will take over the transportation of these pro- ducts." he stated.

In his opening remarks Mr. Cul- len pointed out that under the terms of Confederation the C.N.R. had a moral obligation to maintain I daily train service between Tig- nlsh and Charlottetown.

In connection with the potato business Mr. Cullen stated that Island dealers had plenty of com- petition from dealers in New Brunswick and Maine at the pre- sent time due to the tter's pre- ferred position re frelgh '-services. He thought that I trl-weekly freight service on the Island would strengthen the hand of outside it-u I great deal more.

Under cross-examination from Mr. MacDougall- Mr. Cullen stat- ed he took Mr. Hayes' statement very lightly about the Island get- ting I better freight service if the application were granted.

EXTRA TRAINS .

Mr. Charles L. McCoy stated he had worked with the railway for the past 40 years in various capacities but chiefly in the en- gineering and freight departments.

He stated that he looked on ex- tra trains very favorably from I 2-ieitghlltttraflflic J-talndpoint and ldd;

Under exnmlnatl by Mr. Mae-

Dougall he stated that the C.N.R.

vice under the pro d schedule changes and he d not think the railway would suffer any large loss in business to competitors.

Mr. McCoy added that the rail- way likes to consider it can clian e its operations as than can tions change and maintain its dpositlon in the transportation fiel .

Mr. J. O. C. Campbell stated that the rIilway'a application was built up around the Issum tics of ration between a rail- WIY In shippers and that such cooperation was not always forth- coming.

He asked Mr. McCoy if he would venture an opinion about what might happen Mr. E. D. Reid's potato on It Baltic as I result of disclosures during the hearing. (Earlier in the day Mr. Reid had stated he was loading I car of Continued on page 18 col. 1

NARROW THE GAP

Judges have to deal with compe- tent. adrolt lawyers, Mr. Garson said. if Canada had a weak judi- ciary and I strong. able force of lawyers- it could result in bad ad- ministration of justice.

The government could not justify paying judges' salaries equal to the substantial incomes available to many lawyers. But it had to nar- row the gap to obtain good jurists for the bench. .,

Crlllcs of the proposed salary scales should realize that judges have the responsibility of protect- ing freedom and standing against government power if necessary."

Sign Dec

MOSCOW (Reuters)-Russia and India have signed I joint declara- tion of principles concluding Prime Minister Nehru's l5 - day visit to the Soviet Union.

Nehru and Soviet Premier Niko- lal Bulganin signed the declaration in I three-minute ceremony Wed- nesday in one of the Czar's old- time reception rooms at the Krem- lln. Among those looking on were party chief Nikita Khrushchev and Defence Minister Georgi Zhukov.

Terms of the joint declaration were not disclosed. A Soviet spokes- man announced the text of the declaration will be withheld until it is published It 6 am. today (12 pm. ADT) by Russian and Indian newspapers.

It was generally believed, even before publication of the declara- tlon. that it would reflect the strong stand of Nehru and Bulganin for peaceful coexistence and disarma- ment.
