There have been no reports of injuries as a result of the storm.

In northern Newfoundland at White hey the storm destroyed dozens of wharves and stages.

All around Conception bay, low lying highways are littered with undersea material. At one point a snowplow was out pushing rocks, sea weed. bottles and cans from the road.

Men were. out with rakes and shovels and repair crews at-Span- iards bay.yvere busy plugging two gaping eight-foot, holes in the pavement.

FEW ESTIMATES

There have been few estimates ni damage as fisliexmen continue to pull their gear a safe distance Il'Di'll the surging surf. Seas ap- pear to be dying in most places. but with hundreds of pieces of lumber still afloat. they are not taking chances. The Ferryland report said damage would be, a mini In of 325.000 and the storm was still raging.

The loss to fishermen in St. John's was estimated at si2.000.

Trains were delayed for more than four hours when waves bat- tered the bedding from under the ties. Passengers were brought the remaining 15 miles to St. John's by

busl

At least four sections of high- way were washed out. and the rail line was damaged in at least two places. Reports from many outly- ing settlements were not expected to reach St. John's for several days.

witless boy. on the east coast was swept by huge waves which, reports say. made a clean sweep of wharves and stages. Boats were reported driven from their moor- ings and crashed against the rocks.

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (CP) One of Dal Hammarskjold's top Aides said Tuesday the UN sec- retary-general made progress in 13"" It Pelplnk designed to sec- ure Lhe release of ii United States airmen imprisoned as spies by Rod China.

The talks between Hammarsk. told and Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lei "established the basis upon which further progress can be made." said the spokesman. who asked not to be named. He was commenting on re one that Hammarskjold's caref y planned mission to obtain the release of the airmen and 3,000 other UN per- sonnel held by Communist China had failed.

The secretary-general arrived in Hong Kong from China Tuesday after four-day talks with Chou and other Communist leaders. He re- mained silent on the outcome of the talks.

Asked by reporters if his mission had been successful. Hsmmarsk- jold said: "I feel this is neither the time nor the place to comment on the substance of the talks which I am under an obligation to report to the United Nations General As- sembiy."

The UN chief and his party flew from Pelping to Canton. then boarded a plane for the Hong Kong border. After spending Tues- day night as guest of Governor Sir Alexander Grantham. they were scheduled to fly to Tokyo and then to New York. where they are due Thursday or Friday. , EXPRESS THANKS

As Hammarskjoid and his party crossed the Hong Kong border. he sent a cable to Chou expressing thanks for the "hospitality" shown the UN delegation in China.

The UN spokesman said the sec- retary-generai "has not failed" in his mission.

"He has made progress toward the oal set for him by the Gen- eral ssembly. He was asked by the General Assembly to make, by the means most appropriate in his judgment, continuing and unremit- ting efforts for the release of the 11 fliers and other United Nations command personnel still detained.

"The talks in Pelping were use- ful toward this end. They estab- lished a basis upon which further: progress can be made."

U. S. State Secretary Dulles said in a New York speech Tuesday that Americans will be "slow to anger" in dealing with Pelpirsg on the prisoner issue. He added that Americans eagerly await Ham- marskjold's return.

In Washington. Admiral Arthur Redford, chairman of the U. S. joint chiefs of staff, said the United States should support an Allied blockade of Red China "if all other measures" fail to bring about the prisoners' release.

Newfoundland, about 50 miles southwest of st. John's.

The carload shipment. which the owner estimates is worth about some consists of 140 animals. these include some of the later mutations such as Palosninoa. Iris Flowers. New Buffs and Amber Golda.

For their 4,500-mile journey the little creatures with the lcholce fur are housed in 85 crates. four to a crate, in individual compartments each crate measures six cubic feet and weighs nearly 60 pounds. During their lengthy trip some- thing llke 2,000 pounds of ground horsemeat. at an approximate cost of 11 cents a pound, will be con- sumed by the animals. Starting out from Vancouver, a. supply of 150 pounds was placed in the mlnk's "commi.s.sary". At. Winnipel. the C. N. Express put on another soo pounds aboard their special our and 750 pounds was to be ready when their train arrived in Mont- real Tuesday morning.

Entire B. C. Mink Ranch Moving To Newfoundland

old son Calvin. and Mr. Dswa'I brother Gordon. are travelling with the mink, but, of course. in another car. They'll be in almost constant aiuendance. however. on the tiny express car travellers which. Mr. Dawn confesses, do require ex- tremely careful "ba.by-sitting" on such an occasion.

He explained the long move back to Newfoundland, his birthplace, was being made in the particular interest: of much more economical operation in his chosen field. He said the Newfoundland Govern- ment is encouraging mink ranchers to settle near Dildo, on Trinity Bay. site of I whaling industry. There mink ranchers will be given ad- vantages of cheap feed in the iorm of a basic diet of wholemeal. This will be available. at approximately two cents a pound or considerably cheaper than horselneat and Just as nutritious, according to Mr. Dawe.

He said the Newfoundland Gov- ernment, which is defrsying his present mink shipping expenses, will also provide labor to be train- ed by himself and other experi- enced rsnchers in order to im- prove the mink industry there. A mink rancher f r 35 years. Mr. Dawe, although om at Clarke's Beach, Newfoundland. has spent most of his life in Ontario and British Columbia. He is optimistic regarding prospects for future suc- cess in his native province.
