WTNNIPEK}, Aug. 26 —(CP) — Prnrnier D.L. Campbell of Mahl- toba. has called a paucus of sup- porters of his Coalition Govern- ment for Aug. 39, an action inter- preted as an indication that the government will hold an election in mid-October.

Either Oct. 17 or Oct. 24 have been rumored as possible voting days. If either of these dates is selected, the official announce- merit should come within the next two weeks. '

The notice to the members does not disclose the reason for the caucus, and Mr. Campbell today declined to make any statement when asked its purpose.

The coalition was formed. by former Premier John Bracken in i940, and continued by Stuart Gar- scn, who now is Pcderal Minister of Justice, and Mr. Campbell.

Liberal Progressives, with 25

embers, form the largest single p rty supporting coalition in the Legislature. Eight Progressive Con- servative members support it. Fbur Progressive Conservatives sit as Independents.

The C.C.F‘. forms the official opposition. There were 10 members in the group at the last session oi the House. Two, Wilbert Done- ieyko. who represented St. Clem- ents, and Berry Richards, member for the Pas, since have _been ex- pelled from the C.C.F. for utter- ances against the Atlantic Pact.

Before a. distinguished company in the Confederation Chamber yes- terday afternoon. an “hlstoric" ceremony marked the unveiling of three bronze plaques tinder the auspices of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell presid-

The plaques commemorated tho lives and works of three note- worthy Prince Edward Islanders, Sir Louis H.

R.C.A., Charlottetown artist who later became n national figure in Canadian artistic circles.

Following addresses by Lleut. Governor J. A. Bernard and Prem- ier J. Walter Jones, eulogles to the three distinguished Islanders were offered by Ml‘. Justice Ivan C. Rand of the supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Justice A. E. Arsen- eult, Charlottetown,- and Prof. Prank MaoKlnnon, principal of Prince of Wales College.

His Honour, the Lieut. Governor proclaimed the occasion as “very historic" and gave short sketches of the three figures who were being honoured.

Premier Jones. welcoming the vis- itors, referred to the leading oo- casions and personalities surround- ing the Island's early history. He suggested to any of the gathering who might expect to be honoured themselves by similar tablets placed on the historic walls of the Confed- eration Building, that they would probably have to wait a. consider- able time before history would pronounce thornworthy of such an honour.

After the initial speeches, the Lieut. Governor, in a. simple cere- mony. unveiled the plaques to sir Louis H. Davies and Sir Joseph Pope at the head of the stairway of tho building. The unveiling

party then proceeded to the Har-

ris Memorial Library and unveiled the plaque to the distinguished artist.

Of Sabotaging. Uprising May Pul Curb _

By RICHARD KASISCHKE

PRAGUE. Aug. 25 - (AP) - Czechoslovakian Communists ac- caused the United States and Brit- ain today of trying to keep the Russian army out of Western Eur- ope by sabotaging the i944 Slovak uprising against the Germans.

The Slovak Communist Party newspaper, Pravda. said the up- rising, led by Communist partis- ans in conjunction with the Red Army. was hampered by American and British authorities and the wartime Csech Government-in- exile in London.

The paper claimed the Russians parachuted "all kinds of weapons and ammunition" to the partisans. It said "the Anglo-American air forces made no bombing raids . . . during the uprising although they bod been supplied with detailed maps and requests for raids on specified targets."

"There was one exception," the paper added. "This was a success- ful attack by American fliers on Dubova in which they wrecked all the gasoline tanks which had been prepared to supply the poi-tissue. This was done in aplto o! the fact that the London exile government was asked long in advance to od-

vise Western forces not to bombard this plaice."

Charges Ida-inst the Won. also were made by Voolov Nosek, Csechoslovekla’: Communist Iter of the interior.

.1950» Food-Contracts Hinge On Conference

By HAROLD MORRISON (Canadian Press Staff Writer) OTTAWA, Aug. 25 — (CP) —

Informed sources today said the

Washington dollar talks next month

will decide whether the United Kingdom's multi - million - dollar food contracts with Canada. will be renewed in i960.

The informants said if the U.K. comes to a favorable agreement with the United States on how to solve the British exchanget-ps-ob- lern, negotiations towards corn- pietion of new food contracts with Canada likely will start almost im- mediately ln London and Ottawa.

Size of the new contracts will depend on what kind of a deal the UK. can swing in Washington, but chances of their being as big u those signed last year are consid- ered remote.

In that year contracts for wheat, bacon, eggs and cheese mounted" to almost $400,000,000 and gave Canada a. big slice of tho Icndon food market.

However, since that time the UK. has signed bilateral agree- ments to exchange food products for British commodities with Rus- sia, the Argentine and other non- dollar countries.

' The Anglo-Canadian wheat ag- reement, which netted Canada during the 1948-40 crop year about $280,000,000. has another crop year to ruin. Contracts for bacon, eggs and cheese are up for renewal in December.

The fact that these three cou- tracts were not completed until late last year appeared to be one reason why there was insufficient production to meet the UK. ro- quirements.

The contract called for the sup-

Move May Prestige Break-Through Attempt

CANTON, Aug. 25—(AP)—The Communists tonight were reported threatening points within 140 miles northeast of Canton. Unofficial reports said the Reds, led by one-eyed Gen. Liu Po- Cheng, are thrusting at Kiennan (Chiennan). Lungnan and Ting- nan, all within 140 miles o! Can- ton on a 35-mile arc.

No details were given, but there is speculation that the Commun- ists are aiming at Kukong, on the railway 125 miles north of Canton and 60 miles west of the reported Red positions. This would force Nationalist armies farther north to retreat or risk encirclement.

Gen. Teng Wen-Yi, Nationalist army spokesman, declared, how- ever, that the Communists cannot risk further advances as long as the situation in Hunan Province, some 250 miles to the northwest, remains in favor of the Govern- ment. In that sector, Nationalists officially announced rte-occupation of Siangsiang, 35 miles southeast of Changsha, and of Anhua, 90 miles west of Changsha.

Recovery of these towns west nf the railway strengthens the left flunk of Gen. Pal Chung-Hal, Na- tionalist commander.

But in this uneasy Nationalist capital, there is a theory that the Government gains might be due to a shift of Red troops to the front nearest Canton for an et- tempted break-through.

The Nationalist spokesman said a strong defence ring is being established around Amoy. seaport 330 miles northeast of Canton. He also reported continuing fighting on Tahsieh Island, 100 miles south of Shanghai and seven miles off the coast. It ls on the fringe of the Chushan group from which Nationalist naval and air forces enforce their blockade o! Shanghai.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25—(AP- The liner Parthia, plowing through choppy seas two days out from New York, today radioed for medical aid after n 21-year-old passenger was stricken with in- fantile paralysis.
