By sonar untaivc OTTAWA. May 30 — (OP) —The Royal Commission on Transporta- tion will hear pro-and-con argu- ment over the question of extend- ing Federal subsidies to carriers beyond the scope of present Treas- ury aid.

Subsidy proposals to be made to the commission, which opens a ‘Canada-wide series of hearings at Winnipeg Wgdnesday, will cover rail and water services and -- to a slight degree -— air transportation. They will come from several prov- inces.

Both Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland will seek subsidlza- tion of certain additional coastal steamship services, and 2.11.1. also will ask aid for an air service be- twcon itself and Newfoundland. The new province will suggest help for coastal services around its own shores. and also for steamship lines linking it with the mainland. in addition to the Cape Breton- Newfoundland ferry now operated by Canadian National Railways.

LONDON. May 30 - (Reuters)- Francis Von Rinteien. German master spy of the First World War who caused havoc on the New York waterfront, died here today. He was 66.

He collapsed at a London sub- way station and was taken to hos-

plts .

Von Rintelen -— the “Dark in- vader“ — was a lieutenant-com- mander in the German Navy when he was sent to the United states in 1015. His orders were at all costs to prevent United States munitions reaching the Allies.

An ace saboteur, Von Rintelen smuggled incendiary bombs aboard ships loaded with supplies. His shadowy figure looked on as bai- fled authorities tried to find the cause of explosions and fires break- ing nut along the waterfront.
