Abating Winds Bring Hope To Weary Workers

(By ‘Ibo Canadian Press)

Villagers of four communities in the Marltimes last night concerted efforts to save their homes as winds bred in a Labrador storm area peoeptibly lessened although there was no sizn of the rain needed to strike a. final blow.

At least four districts 1n New Brunswick were threatened by the fires. The Bay of Fundy hamlets of Mace's Buy, Chance Harbor and Dipper Harbor west of Saint John seemed in the most dange.

The New Brunswick Govern- ment ordered forest lands closed to travel as flames ate through heavy timber near Bonny River, north of St. George. and in an- other area near Penobsquis. Most of the SO-odd fires in the Province were brought under control.

Officials said only rain could quench the flames completely but they hoped the heavy Winds would abate long enough for crews bf volunteers to gain control.

Dwelling, Barns Burned Yesterday At MacNeilPs Mills

A property loss estimated at 015.000. replacement value, _, was suffered yesterday morning by

Mills, when his house‘ and barns were destroyed by fire.

Mr. Williams had arisen about six o'clock, lit the fire, and gone out to the barns to attend to the stock. When he came out of the barn he noticed fire breaking through one of the eaves of the house. He called to his wife who immediately went for help but with the strong wind blowing there was little that could be done. The two large barns soon caught and lost with them was the whole year's crop and some machinery. some small pigs and a. few chick- ens were also lost. The other stock and a small amount of the furniture from the house were saved.

The garage of the residence of Mr. Cecil Hardy nearby also caught and was saved with diffi- culty. Sparks from the blaze also ignited some timber across the road which commenced to burn briskly and only the presence of a bulldozdr owned by Morrison and McRae Ltd, which was put to work prevented a more serious conflagration that might hate en- dangered a number of properties.

It ls understood that the insur- ance on the property amounted to about $3,000.-S.

Russia Changes Ambassadors In Tho United States 1

By Alex H. Singleton

LONDON, Oct. 24 —(AP)--Rus- sia today announced a switch in its ambassadors to the United States, a. move wrhich left diplomats both here and in Washington uncertain as to its possible significance.

The Moscow radio said Ambassa-

dor Nikolai Novikov, who took over the Washington diplomatic post last year, succeeding Andrei Grom- yko, has been relieved of his dut- ies to be replaced by Alexander S. Panvushkln, former ambassador to China. Novikov. who became ambassador when Grctnyko was named per- manent Russian delegate to the United Nations. returned to R115’. sia last July and now ls in the Soviet Union. He was known as an advocate of Soviet - American friendship and co-operatlon. He told the Chicago Council of Ameri- cari-Soviet friendship June 19 that the Uni-ted States and Russia can live together peacefully despite dif- fering economic systems.

A shift in Soviet diplomatic rep- resentatives often is the herald of a tougher m" softer Soviet policy.

State Department officials said they had been advised by the Sov- iet Government that Novikov was ill and that his replacement was necessary, " " 7’ ' ‘

Washington suicide said solar as they knew Novikov was in good health when he left Washington July 26 for Moscow to consult with his Government shortly after State Secretary Marshall announced the “Marshall plan."

Boarding House Price Controls Are Lifted

_._?

A bonus of £2.00 per ton. up to a maximum of 20.000 tons, on all coal imported in bulk shipments by vessels arriving in this Prov- ince between October 2'1 and De- cember 31 this year will be paid by the Provincial Government as a means of relieving the present coal shortage due to lack of rail- way car accommodation.

An order-in-councll to this effect was signed by Lieutenant Governor Bernard yesterday. Both the dates mentioned are inclusive.

The bonusing policy was decid- ed upon after consultations be- tween Governnrent members and coal dealers with regard to the existing coal shortage and the prospect of further railway trans- portation difficulties.

Under the terms of the order-in- council, the bonus will be paid only on presentation of the bills of ladlng to the Department of the Provincial Treasurer.

Hon. G. H. Barbour, who is Acting-Prernlerqduring the ab- sence in Torontb of Premier Jones. said that the freight charges on coal brought by boat from Syd- ney to this Province would aver- age $2.25 more per ton than the present rail rate of $2.10. The bonus of $2.00 per ton paid to the dealer who imports to the Prov- ince by water will mean that the consumefof such coal will only nave to pay 25 cents more per ton for that coal than he pays for the same quality brought in by rail.

Mr. Barbour said the subsidizing policy applies to any coal dealer in the Province wishing to bring coaihirrtthrpugl; any Island portl ‘He thoug t greatest advantage of the subsi would be taken by the Charlottetown coal dealers but he also expressed the belief that con- siderable coal would be brought into Summerslde under the terms of the order-in-council.

Another regulation announced was that tenants may recov r ex- cess rentals paid for s. perod up to slx months where s. landlord fails to have the Board fix his rent, as he is required to do. Also, the Board said. l! a land- lord fails to apply for a maximum rent figure within 30 days after leasing space, the tenant on not- ifying the Board may cease pay- ing rent until such a fixation 18 made.

The announcement said this order does not change the exist mg regulation which provides for recovery by the tenant of any amounts charged in excess of act- ual rents set by the Board.

1t does not affect new bouelfls units built and. rented since 0M start of this year. These were freed from control 10st Jl-IIIB 9-

Probe Influence 0n Polish Girls

OTTAWA, Oct. 24--'I‘wo Federal Departments today were investi- gating s. report from a high Judic-

,ial ofllcer that an employee of the

Polish IIEKBMDH here had influen- ced two Pollsh immigrant girls to move from norm-political jobs in Ottawa to a Toronto Commun- nist. newspaper.

The complaint came from Arm- and Sylvestre, KC, deputy chief commissioner of the judicial-ad- ministration Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada, who said the Lcgation- employee had taken a Polish domestic from his house and also had interfered with another Polish girl befriended by the sylvestre family.

His report to the Department of External Affairs touched off a del- icate diplomatic investigation by that Department, which has been in progress quietly for a month, and which was joined today by the Department of Labor when the story was made public.

In taking the case to the De- partment of External Affairs Mr. Sylvestre declared he did so be- cause he was "afraid a well-org- anized Polish Communist organiz- ation. equipped with funds. is op- crating in Canada to get hold of Polish immigrant girls and bring them under Communist influence."
