OTTAWA, Sept. 3 - (C?) - MJ. Coldweli, 6.0.11‘. leader, to- day called for a special session ed Parliament to deal with freight rates and "other urgent‘ matters." Mr. Coldrweli said in a IOU-word statement that an autumn session is "absolutely necessary” in view oi’ the fact that the Justice De- rpartrmerrt has advised the Govern- ment that a royal commission to study freight rates cannot. he ap- pointed wit-hout the authority of Parliament.

lie also dMared that the "ever- increaslng cost of living" adds to the necessity for an autumn ses- sidn.

Parliament is not-duo to meet in regular session urrtll the new year, possibly in January.

Mr. Coidweli said:

“In viow of the fact that the Government has received an op- inion rfircnl frhe llvaarltmcnt of Justice to the effect that. no royal mnrr-rrission on freight rates can he appointed without the author- ity 01f Parliament, it now is sh- solutely necessary that a fall ses- sion o-f Parliament. he called in order to deal with this and other urgent matters.

“Without. further delay Parlia- ment should be asked to provide the authority, so that all discrim- inations now existing in the rfreirzirt-mte structure will be ex- amincd with a view to their re- moval.

"A fall session of Parliament. should also be called upon to deal with the ever-increasing cost o! living and the insistent public. de- mand for p-rice controls and sub- sidics."

The Justice Depart-wreath advice that the Oablnet lacks authority tn establish s royal corrmissiorr to study freight rates hccanre known three days ago. Tire ruling was given after the Gmicrrrnrcrrt had asked the lHnV bf-ficcrs inf‘ n rrri- ine on the legality c-f such a cour- mission.

The Department's reply, hoov- ever, did not preclude Parliament from establishing a crmmission for the purpose, it was learned.

The Dcpartmrcnt gave the opin- ion tlrat, because o1 existing stat-

utes, the Cabinet could ‘nc/t. ftp- point a commission tn study freight rates although it. could

name one to dcnl with other as- pects of milwny transportation.

Parliament ccuid appoint; rm all- embracing commission by revising statutes that. now are a barrier to such actions.

The Government has ordered a general ‘inquiry freight rates.

PRAGUE. Sept. 3 -fCPt- Dr. Eduard Bones, 64-year-old co- iounder of the Czechoslovak re- public, died today.

Twice president of a country racked and squeezed by two great wars and by their turbulent after- matlrs, Bones died in a coma in his country hcme at Sezimovo Usti. Coughing spasms weakened his tired. old heart and the end came at 6:10 pm.

IIis wife was at his bedside as Benes-in the words of an official statement-died quietly, without a struggle, as if he we:e failing into a deep sleep.

Bones had a stroke a year ago Ills arteries hardened. Last Tues- day he became unconscious and only drug injections kept him alive.

A special cabinet meeting was summoned for tomorrow to ar- range the funeral. Communist. Premier Antonin Zapotocky ar- ranged a broadcast to the country.

The death of the piucity states- man who rose from ranks of the peasants to world acclaim was an- nounced to the people by the Czechoslovak radio just before the regular evening news broad- cast. The radio then began playing recorded hymns and dirges.

Although his death was expected it carried no less a sense of shock and tragedy. Iiitmbers of the staff of the Czechoslovak press agency wept unashamedly.

Officials Cautious In Predicting Effect Of U. S. Crop On Prices

By William Wilson

OTTAWA. Sept. 3 -—tCP)-EX- treme caution was displayed today by a group of top-ranking Gov- ernment authorities when asked by the Canadian Press to ccmmerrt on the effect a near record-break- ing United States c.cp will have on prices generally.

The group included Trade Miri- ister Howe and a number of ol- iiciais concerned with various as- pccts of trade. prices, wheat mar- keting and the world supply of agricultural products.

'l‘here was fairiy- general agree- ment that; the big United States cvop, coupled with good European harvests. would tend to halt the upward trend of prices and-per- haps_-r:night lead to a gradual failing off in prices several months or a year hence.

‘Ilhere was also general agree- ment, however, that any drastic price collapse appeared out. of the question nnd no discernable dis- rrgzeezncrrt with the qualification of ono authority that "it's very dif- ficult to predict what will happen because thcrc are so many com- plisrrting factors."

Mr. Howe commented:

"If I knew how prices would go. I could make a fortune. I don't know.

"Food prices are above the 90h- eral index and they'll probably he the first to move down but there is n price support program in both countries (Canada and the United States) and l don't think t-‘acre will be any sudden drop."
