Suspect Arson in Atlantic City Fire

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Sept. 13 ._ (AP) -A spectacular, pro-dawn fire today destroyed the ballroom and several concessions on this re- sort's million-dollar pier. s board- walk landmark for the last 43 years.

The Police Department's arson IPGCIAIISI.'DEIECI.IVE Robert O'- Keefa said, said he snd fire offic- ials began an investigation while the charred wreckage still moul- lered. '

"We have every reason to be- lleve it was arson." 0'Keefe said.

The pier had been closed for the winter since Labor Day. and no one was injured badly. Four fire- men received superficial burns.

Sheets of flame burst akyward at 4:30 A.M., drawing thousands of spectators to the boardwalk. All lire equipment in the resort and firemen from nearby municipal- ities were called out by a general

and social welfare program at a time when it is striving to meet a growing dollar deficit.

3. Black also surprised dele- gates by strongly advocating changes in the American-sponsor- ed Marshall Plan for European Re- covery with the aim oi making dollar aid more effective.

4. The conference overwhelming- ly beat down a Czech and Polish move to hold all major discussion of devaluation in public. Yugo- slavia, formerly a consistent sup- porter of any Eastern European diplomatic move, abstained from voting.

In his remarks {in social wel- fare, Black said "Ii has become ap- parent that many countries cannot now afford ambitious programs of social services without either re- duclng their living standards in other respects or cutting back their productive investments."

Sir Stafford Cripps, the top rank- ing British Government official, sat pokebfsced at the oval conference tabla during Black's speech. With s pencil, Sir Stafford underlined the remarks about soclnl welfare on his copy of Black's speech.

American officials attending the meeting said the changes in the Marshall Plan which Black sug- gested would undoubtedly require congressional sction.

Speaking on this pnini, Black re- commended that the American Government tell each Marshall Plan country immediately what its share of aid will he during the remainder of the program — until June 30, 1952.

T h a American Government should then, Black said, assure each Marshal Plen country:

1. That its share will not be reduced if it earns or saver more dollars than had been expected or increased if its dollar deficit grows larger. <

2. That ail Marshall Plan nations will be permitted to use their Mar- shall Plan dollars wherever they wish. This would eliminate pre- sent restrictions, imposed by Con- gress, which make it mandatory that certain American supplies such as wheat he bought in prefer- ence to foreign wheat.

Black asserted that if his pro- posed changes were put into ef- fect "responsibility would be but squarely upon participating nations to take the mcnsu r5 necessary for their own recovery."

St. Laurent Sees Tourist Travel As Aid To Peace

Prices For Farm Products Up In This Province

OTTAWA, Sept. i3 - (CP) — With a few exceptions the prices Canadian farmers receive for ag- ricultural products are down.

The Bureau of Statistics report- ed today that its index of farm prices shows a decline of a full point during July this year.

Cause oi the drop was in lower prices for grains, particularly in Eastern Canada, as well as in live- stock, dairy products, fruit and vegetables. These decreases more than offset increased prices for potatoes, poultry snd eggs.

For July, the price index

based on 100 for the 1935-39 aver- age stood at 251.9 compared with 252.9 in Juno and consider- ably below the 259.2 for July of 194B. The picture by provinces shows that Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and British Columbia had increases in the over-all price indexes while other Provinces were down. Newfoundland is not yet included in the Bureau re- port.

Following are the Maritimes‘ indexes with June figures brack- etcd:

PEI, 214.4 (210.6); Nova Sco- ila 206.9 (208.2); New Brunswick 216.8 (215.8).

Government made $80,000,000 av- ailable to Provinces for whai. Health Minister Marlin has de- scribed as the “starting point in our national health plan."

A total of 011,099,330 has so far been allocated to the various Pm- vinces to help them with hospital construction, health insurance sur- veys. the training of personnel and for the treatment of such things as cancer, tuberculosis and ven- ereal diseases.

Much of the money allocated has not yet. been spent and there is no indication the Government plans at the coming session to ask Par- liament for a new national health program vote.

It is not known when all the Provinces will have completed their health surveys,

The Canadian Medical Associa- tion has urged that health sur- veys in all l0 Provinces be com- pleted and studied thoroughly be- fore it is decided whether health insurance is a good thing for Can- ads.

The question of financing an over-all insurance plan, is another obstacle put forward by some Gov- ernment spokesman. 1n proposals to the Provinces at the 1H6 Do- mlaion-Provlnclal conference, the Federal Government estimated that its share of a national health plan would be in the neighborhood of $250,000,000 a year.

Some Government official: have said the treasury probably could not support an lnsuranceplan as long as a taxation agreement is lacking with Ontario and Quebec.

Prime Minister 8t. Laurent today said Canada wants a tourist in- dustry which will lead to peace between nations, -Sp8akllig in French before the annual convention of the Quebec Chamber of Commerce, Mr. It. Laurent chided Canadians for ihliikins of the country's tourist industry in terms of money alone. Canada had great need of Ameri- can dollars, but had still greater need of the United States’ friend- ship and understanding.

Nevertheless the monetary value of the tourist industry was im- portant. It brought in $210,000,000 from the 11.5. last year, “making the industry one of the most. lin- iwrtant sources of American dol- lars."

"This your." Mr. St. Laurent said, "it is expected that the am- ount will be about l0 per cent higher."

As a background for the settle- ment oi problems between the two countries, Canada-US. friendship was of "lnestinlable value."

Peace could be assured through complete travel freedom, the Prime Minister indicated, 11, n01. ed that Ernest Bevin. Britain's Foreign Secretary, once said the aim of his foreign policy was to bring about the day when his fel- lowwitizens could travel without passports and without visas any- where in the world.

“Mr. Bevin knew that if that. day carat, peace would be assur- ed," Mr. S. Laurent said. "Closed frontiers create iron curtains. Open frontiers are avenues of peace."

Canada received totlrlsts its though they were her own people. Canada had nothing io hide _ m) secret defences and no concealed activities.

Canadians, Mr. St. Laurent said, were proud of their accomplish- ment-s and resources. They also had

special Canadian characteristics which they were determined to preserve.

"For our Canadianism we must raiv not only on our past but We must constantly seek to build a better and n distinctive future."

Tourists coming to can“, ex. Dccted to find something differ- ent. Otherwise they would have stayed at home. Mr. St. Lauren‘. reminded his listeners that. if can- ada wanted to continue to attract tourists, the country had to cor.- tinue to provide "something differ- ent. something which-is specific- ally our own."

Montreal Brothers End Long Hitch-Hiking Trip

MONTREAL, Sept. l3 —- (C?) — Jean Paul Lamy, M. and his brother, Andre, 22. are back in Montreal after a hitch-hiking trip that took them through more than a dozen states into Mexico. They each had $150 in United States currency for the 81-day trip, and they set out despite the cynical laulfhs from their parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.L. Lamy. They covered about 8,000 miles in all. They slept on park benches snd look advant- age oi accommodations given them in police station: -“ths Am- erican cops are great guys."

Dr. L. W. Show Speaks

Dr, L. W. Show of Charlotte- town, Deputy Minister of Educa- tion for Prince Edward Island. said the difficulty in his “exclu- sively rural" Province was "really one of training fpi these rural schools."

He said in the last three yearn school supervisors have spoken to graduating high school students telling them of the openings _in the teaching profession. However, this move to bring in more prospective teachers has not had much effect.

Ernest Laing of St. John's, one of the six Newfoundland delegates attending the convention. said that in his Province there nre 35 one- room schools without teachers.

Mr, Laing. an executive officer with the Newfoundland Depart- ment oi Education, said in the lsat yssr his department has even ask-

spect for the Sabbath, the Synod appealed to its clergy and laity "to set. a worthy example at all sca- sons of the Christian duty."

The Synod deferred for rue-word ing a resolution opposing most o.’ the present publicity on sex. In its original form, the measure said this publicity "in the cheaper forms of literature and in undesirable films is n-ot contributing to s. sound and helpful understanding..."

Indications are that the resolut- ion will pass when it is reintroduc- ed. , Noting "with gratification’ ai- tempts being made by its clergy and other responsible groups in sex education the Synod stressed "the lnhgrent duty of parents" in this fiel .

Approve

The Synod. in other C SB. resolutions. approved the increased migration of British and European settlers to Canada. This approval stemmed from a recognition of the wisrlcvrri "of insuring the well-being and security of the Dominion and of enlarging her ‘helpfulness in world production and internation- al affairs generally."

This measure also urged the gov- ernment to make provision for adequate housing for these im- migrants and called for "better ar- rangements" io keep families to- gether during the transition period.

Oher Resolutions

Other resolutions dealt with Canadian Church reiir-f abroad and Christian reconstruction in Durope; race relations and human rights; the problem of the rural church and various aspects of social and mission work.

A decision from the House of Bishops is expected tomorrow on a motion regarding re-marriage oi persons wit-iiln Church laws. This motion was approved earlier today by the Lower House.

Th: resolution permits the re- marriage of persons whose rev- ious marrage can be nullifie by the Church providing there arc cert- ain factora making the nullity pos- sible.

These factors can only be those present at the time of the marri- age. such as consanguinity. bigamy or because one of the parties is under-age. Other factors - like adultery-occur after the marriage and cannot be considered grounds for nullity but. rather. divorce or dissolution. The term rmllity moans
