Says

Would Enlarge Seaway Authority To Develop.

Non-Central

O'l"I'AWA. Dec. 6 - (CP) - Op- position members proposed in the Commons today that the scope of the governme t's intended St. Lawrence sea sy "authority" be expanded to enable it to develop resmirccs in Canada's non-central regions.

They urged that the new "auth- oriiv" which the government seeks to have parliament create for building and operating the seaway A give special attention. in the expanded form, to seeing that the big power-navigation project on the inland waterway system does not injure other parts of the coun- try.

Fear Injury To Marltlmee

CC.F. and Progressive Conser- vative members from the Marl- limos expressed fear that the sea- way would be detrimental to Mar- ltimes interests, and they advoc- ated that the proposed authority unrlcrtake development of such Mztritlnies projects as Tsssama- qiinddy power and the Chignecta canal to link the Gulf of St. Law- renrc and the Bay of Fundy.

Ontario and Maritimes Liberals. speaking in the seaway debate. favored the project. though John Dickcv (L. - Halifax) said such industries as coastal shipbuilding "would have to be protected. He was confident the government was aware of the need for decentraliz- aiinn of industry.

The proposal for enlarging the powers of the seaway authority was expressed firs5 by Ciarle Glllls rccr - Cape Breton South) and if was concurred in by A.J. Brooks (PC - Royal).

Marltlmof Price

Gm:-gs Nowlsn (PC - Annap- olis-Kings). national Pr vs Conservative president. said the Msrltlmes would accept the sea- way only if it was put forward as part of a general ruoi.trces-devel- opmrnt plan in which the prob- lems of all parts of the country were considered.

They spoke in a continued de- bate on a motion by Transport Minister Chevrier for creation of the s300.000.000 aeaway authority in build and operate the navigation

GILLINGHAM. England. Decfd -(Reutnrs)'4Bul driver George Samson. B1, sat weeping in a boso- pitsl room today as the parents of as boys killed by-TIL! bus Tues- day night gave evidence at an inquiry into the deaths.

Be twisted his cap in his hands nervously as the parents quietly gave evidence as to identification of their children's bodies.

Samson's double-decker bus plowed into a marching column of 52 Royal Marine cadets on a dark road in Chathsm. near here. Twenty-three of the lads-all aged between to and 13-were kil- led. Nineteen were injured. Only 10 escaped unhurt.

There were few tears. As the last body was identified a wo- man in the ti-ont row broke down and was helped from the room.

In (fl minutes the coroner ad- journed the inquest until Dec. 14. The parents silently made way for driver Samson as a. police- man helped him from the court.

DDMON'rON.. Dec. 6 -(CF) - (CP)-Oil riches begin at so for W.B.C. Chamberlain. an Edmonton district farmer.

A major oil find on his land two miles east of the city was an- nounced today. It will bring fin- ancial security to the octogenar-

isn farmer and his 74-year-old wife.

But behind their happy an- nouncement were thoughts of

what might have been had their oil-rich life begun at 40. instead of 00. For Mr. Chamberlain has been searching for oil on his farm since 1911.

Berlin Air-l.ifl

LONDON. Dec. ti -(AP) - Prime Minister Churchill said to- night Britain will be unable to complete her 54.700.000.000 defence program on schedule in 1963.

"We shall get on as fast as we can." Churchill fold the House of Commons in reply to a question from Labor left-winger Aneurln Bevan. "We shall do our best. but I should be very. wrong not to warn the House that there will be a lag. as there has been in all munitions programs I have seen or been conected with."

Speaking as his own Defence Minister in debate. the Conservat- ive leader referred to Bevan's pre- diction of last spring that Britain was trying to reann too p fast. Churchill told the Commons that even this year's i:1.250.000.00o de- felnce spending was behind sched- u e.

(Bevan quit. the Labor Govern- ment cabinet of Clement Attlec April 23 with a protest that Brit- ain was trying to rearm faster than her economy and social ser- vices would permit.)

Churchill told the Commons:

Britain has made considerable progress toward building an A- bomb.

There is less danger of is third world war now than at any time since the Berlin airlift of 1948 be- cause of "deterrents against ag- gression" created by the United States. Britain and other count- ries on the free west.

Britain's plan to produce a new BM-calibre rifle will be shelved in the hope that agreement can be reached on s standard'rlfle with the United States and Canada. The United States favors its 30- callbre garand.

Discuss Sunday Closing At Trade Board Meeting

At the regular monthly meet- ing of the Summerside Board of Trade held last night it was on motion decided that the board recommend to the Town Council the enforcement of the bye-law regarding Sunday closing of stores.

It was brought to the attention of the meeting by Mr. Ross Mac- Kenzio of the Retail Merchants Committee that there appears to be a steady growth of the prac- tice of Sunday openings by groc- ery stores and even extending to clothing sales. The recommend- ation was to the effect that the Town Council instruct the police to enforce the Sunday closing of such places of business except those classified in the bye-law as selling necessary articles which are in the nature of a service to the public.

Mr. Fred Bell. president of the localiboard presided and there was an usually large number of the members present.

Regarding the matters previous- ly dealt with by the board in con- nection with the Saturday open- ing of the freight shed and an adequate shunier service. Mr. Fred Blngham said that his com-

Some time ago the board had recommended to the Town Coun- cil that warning signal be plac- ed at crossings where the C. N. R. il'l'Ilng pass in the town limits. A letter from the council. read at last night's meeting. stated that according to a. survey made. warning signals at these cross- ings were not justified and so the C. N. R. would not consider hear- ing its part of the cost of instal- lation and maintenance. The let- ter advised the board that the council found the cost of instal- lation and maintenance prohib- itive and stated that in the opin- ion of the council that the so- lution of the problem lay in the diverting of the C. N. R. tracks.

Mr. Donald Baker said that ,it would be a long time before such a project would be finalized and that the board should continue to press for the inaiallatlomol these signals at the danger points. He poined out that the lives of cli- izens would be saved by this pro- tection. It was moved that the secretary direct I letter to the superlnendent of IIIIWIY3-I Mi- Montgomery. and invite him to attend a joint- meeting of the Summerside Town Council and the Board of Trade at which these problems could be rfscuased.

One Red Mlg-15 was listed as destroyed. one probably destroyed and another damaged -in the day's air-to-air battles.

The ground war was quiet for the ninth straight day since armis- tice negotiators agreed on a pro- visional cease-fire line. The infan- try had little to do except beat off an occasional Communist probe and duck Chinese shells.

It was to stop some of this con- tinual Communist harassing fire that the U.S. Fifth Air Force made 107 ground-support flights Thursday in a special attack. Tnlrty-five Red field pieces were officially listed as destroyed. That. is more than enough to outfit a Red artillery regiment. Many oth-
