T716 Judging program of the 17th Provincial Live Pox Show Got underway yesterday morning shortly after 0 o'clock and con. tinued until 4 p.m. Not in the memory of the oldest exhibitor was the weather so unfavorable for the bringing in of foxes or the judging of them. Most fox shows would have had to call it off. but the 00 by 10 foot glass front of the Judging room made the task not at all difficult.

Judae George A. Callback work- ed steadily and untiringly with only s half-hour for lunch and this made it possible to complete the judging of the silver classes. Anyone who thinks this Province is not producing good silvers would have a rude awakening if they had witnessed the display of the various classes placed on the table yesterday.

The very clear "whitish" type got the call and they certainly showed up magnificently. Itmight be unfair to mention one or more cccnpetilors but a glance through the prize list below will glare full information as to how the ranchers" foxes stood in the Judge's estimation.

This morning at 9 o'clock the judging of white marked foxes will commence and it is expected they will be completed at noon. If so. at 1 or 1.80 the platlnums will be on and these will attract fully as much attention as the silvers did yesterday when. despite the in-

Maine Potato Men Oppose Quota 0ut_

PRESQUE ISLE, Me. Nov. 18 - (APJ- The Maine potato. grow- ers and shippers committee today saw the United States-tariff cut on potatoes as an "unnecessary" low- ering of barriers to Canadian im- ports.

Herbert W. Moore. executive sec- retary of the committee. said in a statement that the tariff cut was “apparently in complete disregard of the recommendations of the Maine potato industry and the Horticultural Industry Advisory Committee on foreign trade."

The Stale Department yesterday announcer}, that import duty of seed potatoes was fixed at the our- rent 37 1-2 cents a hundredweight but that the quota was raised from 1.500.000 to 2.500.000 bushels a yiaar, and that duty on table stock ‘mportations ‘was lowered from 60 to 37 1-2 cents December to Ibbruer-y. with the 8'7 i-fl-cent figure kept in other months.

Moore said the committee had gone on record as feeling that "the quantity of our seed is sufficient to handle our needs. The quality . . . is now equal to if not superior to that produced in Canada . , . and that Maine and this nation can produce as efficiently as Can- ada . "

Five Are Shot In Montreal Safe Nold-up

MONTREAL. Nov. 18-(0?) —Flve patrons were reported shot tonight when two ban- dits attempted to hold up the Che: Ernest Cafe on uptown Drummond Street in the heart of Montreal's cafe district. One of the victims was said to be dying.

Pplico said the men started shooting wildly as they wont out the door and one of the waiters lunged for the banifts. The‘walter grabbed one of them with a. flying tackle, and the bandit fell to the floor knock- ing himnélf out while his com- panion flcd into the street.

had consistently followed a policy of subventions on coal and hinted that Ottawa might go farther in this direction provided it would bring results and bring in United Ststes dollars. He clearly indicated that it was coal from the Mari- time Provinces and not from west- em Canada. that he had in mind.

“Tlhere is a definite physical lim- itation to bringing western coal to the eastern market," Mr, Howe said. “Coal from the Maritime Provinces can be vmoved by water."

The Minister raid the govern- ment would even be prepared b grant Iubventions on coal export- ed frcyrn Canada, provided it was paid for in United States curt- rency.

Canadians Bewildered By New Tax Boosts

(Canadian Press)

Eeset on every side by news of tax boosts, tax concessions and speculation over rising or falling prices. the average Canadian citi- zen today was slightly dazed by it all.

His bewilderment followed Gov- ernment moves first twpromote in- ternational trade by granting and obtaining tariff concessions to and from other countries and then to conserve Canada's dwindling sup- ply of United States dollars b prohibiting imports, mainly from‘ the U. S. Both moves were a few AAOUTS apart.

Speculation ranged from lower prices for tea, coffee and stigar and decreased costs for electricity and gas to much higher prices for cars, electrical appliances. re- frigeratorsyoii burners and other luxurygoods coming under the 25 per cent tax announced by Fin- ance Minister Abbott Monday night.

Yesterday some car dealers saw price jumps of $500 for small auto- mobiles and $1.200 for larger mo- dels but the Ford Motor Company announced at Windsor that its Super De‘uxe Fordor had increas- e‘ by $1 .50. selling at $1,798 de- dvered in Windsor and the tax on its Mercury 118 town sedan had gone up from $229 to $438. mak- ing the retail price for similar dc- iivery $2.058.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS-JAP) --Warned that Western Europe i5 threatened by a “Communist Squeeze" within four months, congressional committees worked today on President Truman's plan for emergency aid to Italy, France and Austria.

But Republicans launched on the House floor an offensive against the President's bid for authority to bring back rationing and wage-price control, if neces- sary, to keep prices from climbing. The White House. meantime. said 4‘: out of 50 letters received fav- ored the idea of controls.

Representative Everett Dirksen (Rep. Ill.) told the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which com- pleted hearings on immediate for- eign ald_ that Czechoslovakia would be the victim of a “Com- munist squeeze" within months unless she had United states help. Austria. Germany, France and Italy would fall next.

Dlrksen, head \of a House armed services - appropriations group which visited Europe recently, said in a report submitted later that-"the Soviet Union is fever- ishly preparing for s military war" and should be deprived of any American supplies that might ziclp her program.

Bigger Blow Than Drop In British Buying

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 — (C?) __canada's new restrictions in im- ports from the United States will mean a 03000051000 blow to Am- erican exporters and manufactur- ers, government officials estimat- ed tentatively today.

The emergency controls. sudden- ly applied by the Ottawa Govern- ment last night to conserve Un- itcd States dollars. promised to hit American business harder than the repeated reductions in buying bl’ Britain. Despite its much smaller population, Canada this year was easily the United States‘ best cus- iomcr, buying at the tinpreccdent- cc] rate of nearly 02.000.000.000.

Officials said the United States regards the Canadian restrictions as a temporary "necessary evil" to be removed when the Domlnion's financial position improves. The State Department was consulted in advance before Canada took the step.

The American Government 0!- fvrefl no objection, they said, b0- r-ausc Canada probably would be forced to take more drastic action later had it penrnitted the drain on its dwindling dollar resources to go unchecked.

Finance Minister Abboitidisclos- ed in Ottawa. that as of Nov. i3. Canada's supply of gold and Un- lied States dollars had sunk to 5500000000. a drop of $145.00.- 000 in less than 11 months.

Abbott said that the United States export-import bank has ag- reed to grant Canada a credit of $300,000,020. -

One bright spot in thepicture.

UIS.‘ officials said. is’ that" C811: ada may have to increase pur- chases of available American raw materials in order to counter- blance the reduction in purchases of finished American goods. .'I‘he Canadian embargo hits not only “luxury class" imports but many essential American purch- ases.

For example. under the new rules American exporters and msnufsctureis no longer can send to Canada most fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared meat, cereal foods, cigars. cigarets. cocoa. paper products and many other goods.

Veto Issue

(By Ross Munro)

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y., Nov. l8 --(CP)——'I‘he big power veto is- sues pi-ovoked a new bitter dis- pute in the United Nations today between the Russian bloc and Western states when the United States proposed that the Soviet- ooycotted "Little Assembly" con- sider the question.

Csnada. Britain and Argentina. were among countries supporting the proposal in the violent debate which lasted all day and saw Rul- sla's Andrei Gromyko make two long speeches and several short ones in defence of soviet use of the veto.

The debate reached its height of vliuperation when Yugoslsvifs youthful. sharp-tongued Ales Yer attacked Argentina as "the last vestige of the Rome-Berlin Axis."

Previously Argentina's Dr. Jose Arce declared Russia seemed afraid of the veto debsts and he called the veto the “6511681” of the U. N.

White Russia's Kuzms Kiselev then charged Arcs was s "pro- mcter of s third world war" snd said his fight against the veto was
