Eric Hurry of Winsloetook the championship and grand champ- ionship male with Patosie Phil- lip. The‘ junior male champion- ship went to Da'n MacL'ean of Milton. Owen Younker and Son, Kingston took the junior male reserve championship. MacLean took the reserve grand champion- ship male. '

Allison Carr, Brackley showed the junior female and reserve honours in the junior female class went to Harrison Green of Clyde River.

The champion and grand champion female was shown by the Younker farm. Reserve champion and reserve grand champion honours in this class went to Harold Palmer and Sons, Kensin-gton. . _

The judge of the Guernsey show, Mr. Arthur Benge, said the cattle show in Charlottetown compared favorably with the best he has seen in Canada. Mr. Benge comes from Merlin. Ontario. He is a national past president ‘ ol the Guernsey Breeders’ Associa- tion.’ .

Mr. Benge. if he had any cri- ticism to offer was that he would like to see a larger animal. He said the size of the cow was being stressed by the breed on a national basis and he made his placings 'to some extent on this basis. -

He hoped, that this would serve as an incentive to strive for larg- er cattle ip the future.

Capt. Hunter stressed the ad- vantage of early morning cross- ings rather than afternono be- cause of the daylight advantage which is necessary, and not forthcoming, for late trips.

At Borden the situation just about duplicated what happened at Wood Islands with one extra trip carrying all traffic offerin and nothing left behind.

Freight trips by the “Scotia” have relieved the situation ap- preciably. according to Informa- tion received from the Superin- tendent's office.

were backing up the Railroad-in ‘ this emergency.‘ “We are all working ‘overtime on it," heob- served.

He added that CNR authorities were giving consideration to decking a portion of the after part of the Scotia II. If carried , out, accommodation would thus be provided for 12 trucks on each crossing, he said.

But Outlook

By LLOYD McDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (OP)

Russia and the United States, despite their renewal of charges and counter - charges over each other's actions in the Middle East, created an air of reason as the United Nations emergency assembly debate on tensions in the Arab world opened Wednes- day. /

Stripped of the mutual recap- ltulations by President Eisen-

. bower and Foreign Minister Gro-

myko of peace endangering, the Russian 3 n (1 American positions at the special sessio .s outset were interpreted at t UN gen- erally this way: I/

The U. S. wants-“a start made on a comprehensive plan for the strategic and/crisis - ridden area involving a” standby "UN peace force and“ internationally span. soredgfinancial aid program to bring politicaLland economic sta- bility to the Arab world:

Russia wants British and An:- erican troops withdrawn from Jordan and Lebanon as a neces- sarypreludetoauylng-ramge planning, but is willing to enter discussions on terms of the with. drawal and wants the UN to play a major part in the ensuing turn- over.

MAY BE PROPAGANDA

While some Western sources felt that Russia's conciliatory at- titude might be only a prop- aganda play for support among neutral-members as well as the Arab-Asian bloc in. any assembly vote, there was a widesprgad feeling expressed that Moscow ought to be taken at its word

Nikita Khrushchevjs foreign ministcr concluded his speech by declaring, that R u so i a stands read-y- to review the situation in official negotiations with the US. Britain or any other intended power during this current emer-

‘ gency session.

This topped of the relatively mild resolution for the assembly tabled by Gromyko calling for vithdrlwalmf the American and British forces under supervision of an augmented UN observer group.

This withdrawal call was a long step back from the Soviet con- ' 1'th during the deadlocked Se-

curity Council sessions of last

month when Russia used the Veto the block any Security Council ac- tion that did not insist on imme- diate unconditional pulling out of the US. and British troops.

This Russian '- breated deadlock led to the calling of the emer- gency session of the 01 - country General Assembly after the alter- native idea of a bigqpower sum-

ies of Khrushchev policy switches.

ANIMOSITY SHOWS

There was plenty of evidence in Wednesday’s speeches that tho antagonism over the troop inter-

summit idea is as strong as ever. Eisenhower to some extent and Gromyko in most of his speech kept up the running battlethat has marked Russian - American exchanges a/t’lthe UN during the more than a decade of cold war.

What was new in the two speeches created the most inter- est, however, and left a generally favorable atmosphere for contin- uation of debate which resumes this morning and may last 10 days to two weeks.

The plan put before the assem- bly by the American president can be regarded as only a alt calming passions in the area. But it supported the suggestions for a long ~ term approach made by Secretary-General Dag Hasn- marskjold at last Friday's fauna! opening of the emergency sion. - '

Eisenhower's plan contained six points in this order: “Oon-' earn” in the UN for Iobanon; measures by the UN to preserve peace in Jordan; an end to lamenting f r o m without of civil strife; aUNpeac‘eforce; aro- glonal economic d 0 ve lo pmen't plan; and steps to\avoid a con- tinuation of the arms race in the Middle East. _

R was necessary to halt the flow of heavy armaments into these Middle E ast countries. Meanwhile, the UN should create a peace-keeping louse to enable them to stand up firmed

across their borders.
