tional sports commission said the Cuban-driven car that smashed into the spectators “supposedly” just went out of control. It added that its technicians’ ruling on the accident “eliminated absolutely all suspicion of. sabotage.”

The commission statement said nothing about claims ‘of other drivers that the race course ap- -parently had been sabotaged. One driver spoke ofa virtual,_4s,ea- of

turn. Other drivers mentioned oil

patches on areas of road other

than where the Cuban crashed. Halting of the race came only

‘ hours after" rebel forces pulled

off another spectacular coup, kid- napping world champion driver Juan Manuel Fangio, an Argen- tine’ who had been favored to win Monday's $10,000 Gran Premio. He was still missing when the 27 cars roared off, despite an ‘an- nouncement at the track that he had been freed and was on his way to Ma-lecon race course. There were reports also of a rebel attempt to kidnap British driver Stirling Moss, husband of the former Kathy Molson of Mon -real. Hotel authorities were reported to have thwarted the at- tempt, with Moss and his wife locking themselves in their hotel room and refusing to answer telephone calls. .

BOLDEST IN YEAR’

The rebel blow at the race was the boldest venture in Havana since gunmen invaded the presi- dential palace last March 13 in an attempt to seize or slay presi- dent Fulgencio Batista. Forty per- sons were killed at the palace and elsewhere in Havana that day. -

Trouble in Monday’s pace be- gan almost as soon as the racers started around the 3.5 - mile course. ‘

A Ferrari driven by Garcia Ci- fuentes, a C u b a n relief driver, plunged off the c o u r s e and smashed into the packed stands near the U.S. Embassy, cuasing the casualties. None of those kil- led or injured was identified im- mediately.

Moments later other cars be- gan skidding on an oil coating on the twisting c u r v e s, narrowly avodin-g other serious crashes.

Balmy Air Afier Storm In Ontafio

b By THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘Strong south winds swept balmy air into many parts‘_of- Canada Monday. It was,particu- larly elcome ‘in southern On- tario, which struggled through its worst blizzard of the winter last week. i

The temperature went to /53 ‘above in Windsor Monday, about 50 degrees higher than a week ago.

The present weather was gen- eral from the foothills of the Rockies through to the west coast. Vancouver lived up to its tourist billings, recording a tem- perature of 48.8 Sunday night for the warmest February night on record. ‘

_ Farther east, Calgary expected a high of 50 degrees and Regina was pegged for a high of 45. _

Winnipeg posted a record high for Feb. 23 of 45 Sunday, followed by the heaviest February rainfall in 80 years-—.30 inches during the night.

But the northern Prairies were still shivering, along with north- ern Ontario where snow fell Mon- day afternoon.

East of Ontario the tempera- tures stayed below normal, par- ticularly in N e w Brunswick where the mercury slipped below the zero mark in some parts of the province.

CHARLOTTETOWN CANADA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1958

TORONTO (CP)—If the United States continues to put up bar- riers of one type of another to Canadian goods Canadians have no, alternative but to seek new sources of supply, Harold V. Lush of Toronto, president of the Cana- dian Manufacturers’ Association, said Monday night in an address to the National Sales Executives’ Association.

“You might think,” said Mr. Lush, “that Canada i-s the one country, above all others that the U.S. would consider when form- ulating its trade policies. We are, after,/all, as economically inter-

it is possible for any two free and separate nations to be.

“And yet, in matters of trade, the U.1S.-—the most wealthy and most powerful of all the democ- racies-—perslstent1y follows polic- ies which do Canada serious in- jury.

PROTESTS UNHEEDED

“Moreover, our protests to Washington all too frequently ‘go unheeded, even though the polic- ies of which we complain are far from being vital to the U.S. na- tional interest.

“This »curt‘ treatment of Can- ada is the more extraordinary when you remember that Cana- dians and Americans buy from each other more goods than any two countries on the face of the gldbe. .

“Furthermore, Canada with her 17,000,000 people buys $8 worth of U.S. goods for every‘ $2 the U.S., with 170,000,000 people, buys from us. On a’ per capita basis, We 15 to 1 in their favor.” .

MONTREAL (CP) -— A public inquiry into the fatal plunge of a chartered airliner with 79 persons aboard adjourned Monday to give a three-man investigating board time to piece together the puzzle of Canada’s worst air crash.

A report on the crash is not expected for several months.

The board met 13 times, heard

than 100 exhibits, documents, re- ports, photostats of records, and five shattered W a t c h e s once owned by persons aboard the ill- fated aircraft.

Counsel for the transport de- partment and Maritime Central Airways, owners of the plane, are to make written summaries of their views on the crash before the board begins to sort out its conclusions.

dependent and closely related as-

of them are fully-finished manu- factured goods, many of which are in direct competition with goods already made in Canada."

ALTERNATIVE SOURCES

In this situation, Mr. Lush said, Canada has been looking for alternative sources for a sub- stantial proportion of things now imponted from the U.S.

‘_‘Our first preference should be to replace such‘, imports from Canadian sources}, but where this is not feasible we should explore the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth sources. That, of course, was the principal aim of the trade mission to the United Kingdom last fall.”

Mr. Lush, a member of the mis-

sion, said that whereas 20 years ago 13 per cent of Canadian im- ports came from Britain, the pro- portion now was down to around nine per cent.

“A diversion of some Canadian purchasing from the U.S. to the U.K. would kill two birds with one stone. It would reduce our huge trade deficit with the U.S. and would put the U.K. in a po- sition to buy more from us.”

Commenting on the suggestion that free trade be gradually es- tablished between Canada and Britain, Mr. Lush said eli-mina- tion of the equalizingeffects of the Canadian tariff would in many instances result in the loss of jobs for many thousands of Canadian workmen.

Law’ Of T Meeting

GENEVA (Reuters) —- The 80- country “law of the -sea” confer- ence opened Monday in land- locked Switzerland and elected Prince Wan Waithayakon of Thai- land as chairman.

Called by the United Nations, the nine-week conference is the first ever assembled to attempt international agreement on mari- time law. The Canadian delega- tion is lead by George-Drew, high commissioner in London.

Prince Wan, former president of the United Nations General Assembly, was nominated by the Ecuadorian delegation and sec- onded by India and Yugoslavia. His election was unanimous.

He‘ said in his acceptance speech the welfare of interna- tional society depends on the con- ference’s success. /

He said the propellers were “driving” the engines when the plane took a 70-degreenose-dive into a hog near Issoudun, Que., 15 miles southwest of Quebec City.

RUNWAY 'PROPELLERS

MCA lawyer Alastair Paterson of Toronto called them “runaway propellers” and Mr. Stuar agreed to the term.

“The engines were being driven at a speed far greater than could possibly be supplied by their own power,” the engine expert ex- plained.

Mr. Paterson brought out in his cross-examination that control of

The witness also said ‘there was no evidence of structural failure in any of the four engines before the crash. T ~

Mr. Stuart agreed with MC counsel that an “aircraft doesn’t normally fall out of the sky”—— that if the engines failed the pilot could put the plane into a glide and try to make an emergency landing.

The MCA airliner plunged al- most straight down when, it over a wide area and making a reconstructed mock-up of the plane a pointless endeavour.
