survive on the fringe of such a blast.

A sialcment of Government pol- irr on the Provincial Potato Mar- keting Board was requested yes- tcrdaj afternoon by the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture in a bust luesented to the Legislature. The brief suggested that such a slaiement would effectively serve the best long-term interest of the

potato industry. The brief also sited the h- pnrtance of maintaining in I

sound and vffectiveatate the P. E. l Polmn Marketing Board which has lvsislmiva authority to negoti- uv on '.MlIf of the industry.

their aquests would be every consid uuuss.

The Premier stated he was glad the brief stressed the seriousness of the disease control problem in potatoes. He also stated he was very interested in the, composition of the Marketing Board.

Will! fttltd to Board personnel the brief recommended that the potato marketing schema be amended to provide for a Board composed satiraiy of bona fide producers.

TEXT OF ITATIMINT -

Following h the text of the brief with regard to the potato markating question:

It is perhaps unnecessary to describe the potato industry as an Oicledlllily important part. not only of the Province's agriculture. but of its general economy. Due to its highly speculative nature and the high costs involved in the growing of the crop and the ma- chinery ussd. years of unfavorable prices can cause very serious fin- ancial embarrassment not only to our farmers but to our business people as well.

Since the institution of the Price Support Act in 1946. the Canadian potato industry has re-

OTTAWA. (CP) - Suggestions that Canadian sovereignty is be- ing invaded by United States con- struction of a radar warning line in Canada's Arctic were denied Tuesday by Prime Minister St. Laurent.

John Diefenbaker (PC-Prince Albert) said in the Commons some Canadians have the idea that the joint Canada-U. S. project might in some way be an invasion of or an impingement on Canada's sover- eignty.

The prime minister replied that nothing is being done that does not flow naturally from Canada's commitments under the North At- lantic Treaty for the common de- fence of North America.

"It is no longer possible to be isolated from each other." he said Any project carried out by the U. S. in Canada would remain under Canadian control.

RCN TO PARTICIPATE

He said. however, that Canad- ian participation in operation of the DEW distant early warning radar line still is under considera- tion. No decision would be pos- sible until the hum” of technic- ians required to man the line was known.

Canada had paid one-third of the cost of the Pine Tree radar chain along the Canada-U. S. bor- der and would completely finance. construct and operate the mid- Canada radar line along the 55th parallel.

Faure has managed to keep a slight foothold in both camps.- but his financial policies tend to classify him as a bit to the right and have earned him the support of the conservative deputies.

He was finance minister in the cabinet of Joseph Laylel. labelled one of the most conservative of Francels ll post-war premiers. He held onto the same job in the government of Pierre Mendas- France, which was oriented to the left.

Faurs has said the main points in his program -will be ratifica- tion of the Paris agreements. the conclusion of negotiations to es- tablish home-rule in Tunisia and a three-year plan for "social modernisation" to raise the coun- try's standard of living by pro- gressive industrial development and governmental modernisation.

The U. 8.. as previously an- nounced. would be responsible for construction of the DEW line along the northern rim of mainland North America. Canada, however, would contribute such resources of the RCAF and the Royal Canadian Navy as could be made available and would assist the U. S. in or- ganizing and using other Canad- ian resources.

This was the first indication the RCN might participate in con- struction of the DEW line. It was presumed it would assist in ocean rnpvement of supplies to building s es.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres- ident Eisenhower. asking Con- gress togapprove his Sl0l,000.000.- 000 highway pro am. said Tues- day the United tates must have a road network permitting peo- ple to move out of target areas quickly in case of atomic attack.

In a special message, the pres- ident cited the danger of "deadly congestion" during atomic war- fare as one of four reasons for "action. comprehensive and quick and forward-looking” for high- way improvement.

The money would be raised through a 30-year bond issue to be financial by a federal high- way corporation. Eisenhower pro- posed that money collected from gasoline and diesel taxes be speci- fically pledged to paying off whatever bonded indebtedness is incurred in the program.

Eisenhower listed "the prelim- inary l0 year totals of needs" as the following:

It censured Cs t. T. N. D. Ram- say. in charge o the plane and at the controls when the crash oc- curred, and commanded chief offi- cer Gs Anderson for trying to correct s captain's moves.

The board also made the un- usual suggestion that Anderson might have averted the crash by snatchin control away from his chief. h it adsriittad this

NONE KILLED

The huge Super - Constellation. coming in from Tampa. Fla.. des- cended on farmland about 11 miles from the airport and slithered about 2,000 feet among trees. None of its 16 passengers and seven crew members was killed. though fire broke out in the wreckage.

The board laid the crash mainly to the fact that the captain-fly- ing on instruments-made his ap- proach glide towards the airport below altitudes prescribed for var-

ious points.

"The board of inquiry finds that this accident was caused by neg- ligence on the part of Capt. T. N. D. Ramsay," it said in a one-san- tance conclusion as to the cause.

SPECIFIC POINTS

It criticised him on several spe- cific points. It said he showed "poor alrmansbip" in his approach pattern in that he made inadequate allowance for a strong prevailing wind and did not use his "aircraft direction finding" receiver to get a bearing) on the airport's outc marker.

No Dislike o; Word "Royal"

OTTAWA ICP) - It would be "nonsense" to suggest that the gov- ernment dislikes the word "royal." Prime Minister St. Laurent said Tuesday.

He was asked by Hon. George Drew, Opposition leader. about a New York Times report that the Canadian Pacific Railway wanted to name a new train "Royal Cana- dian" but that the government had objected and the plan was dropped.

Mr. St. Laurent said he hadn't heard about the report but that he would look into it.

Canada had a monarchical con- stitution and he had always said that this was the best kind of con- stitution for the Canadian people.

Any suggesion of any republican feeling. Mr. St. Laurent said. is foreign to him and to any member: of the Commons. There was loud applause.
