WE DON’T LIKE IT’
By HAROLD MORRISON
WASHINGTON (CP) Can- ada’s new deficiency payment plan for eggs has caught the eye of the United States agriculture department and officials say: “Frankly, we don’t like it.”
They fear the plan in effect will mean subsidized exports of Cana- dian eggs, with the U.S. as one market target. They say that # that occurs, the U.S. may retali- ate by slapping special duties om egg imports from Canada.
U.S. authorities plan to meet with Canadian officials at Ottawa within a few weeks fo seek“tlari- fication of the Canadian plan and
to obtain assurances it won't WHERE-TO-FIND-IT Announcements, notices . 15 , deaths, etc., .. 2, 15 lassified section ........ “4 Comics, features ........ 13 } mews ...... 5

Concern arose here following the Canadian agriculture depart- ment announcement last week that the ‘existing price support program for eggs will be turned
into-a deficiency payment Plan
Oct. 1.
Instead of the government buy- ing surplus eggs at a fixed sup- port price as it does now, farm- ers will do all their ovn market- ing, getting what price they ca, If the ‘hational average price re- ceived shows that losses have been sustained by farmers, the government will make up the dif- ference through a federal pay- ment.
The deficiency payment will be limited to 4,000 dozen eggs for any one producer during a 12-month period.. The Canadian administra- tion apparently hopes this limita- tion may restrain production, but U.S. officials says American ex- perience in this field has indica ted that deficiency payments lead te imcreased production.’

No Help Seen
In Ice Freeze
LIVERPOOL, England (Reut ers)—Transpért Minister George Hees of Canada said Tuesday the Canadian~' government _ this year does not plan to help ships caught im the St. Lawrence Sea- way by the winter freeze.
Last winter, 13 ships — mostly

Hees arrived here aboard the Empress of France for a_busi- ness-pleasure trip with his wife and two daughters.
He told reporters: * “Last yedr we went to untold expense and trouble to clear them (ships), but this year we are not going to do that. We are going to fix a date for\ the closing of ihe canal

In a wide-ranging victory, Pro- gressive Conservatives were elec- ted Tuesday to form the Prince Edward Island government for the first time since 1931.
The triumph gave 22 seats to the Conservatives, seven to the Liberals dnd ‘left one seat in doubt Kings fifth, where a tie vote was reported. In that riding, :for the assembly seat, George E. Saville (L) and Leslie Hunter (PC) are shown with 675 votes each.

The estimated 50,000 eligible voters had two choices: The Lib- erals or Progressive Conserva- tatives. The CCF entered no cam didates. There were no indepen- dents and all 60 candidates were men.
Each party entered 30 candi- dates in 15 two - seat ridings. In the last general election of 1955 the Liberals won 97 seats, and the PCs three. The Liberal majority in the House was down to 26 at dissolution because of a 1957 byelection victory by the Con- servatives

By COLIN FROST LONDON ‘AP) — The smoke of good \cigars wafts gently through the chandeliers above the dining table of London’s Winfield House. The brandy passés, and the room hums with. talk.
At the head of the table sits President Eisenhower. Around him are 23 of his British associ- ates from the days of the Second World War.
That was the scene Tuesday night when Eisenhower gave a stag »dinner for his wartime col- leagues at the residence of U.S. Ambassador John Hay Whitney.
Since the war days, though. a nu r of books’ have been_writ- ten and speeches made in which the old chums have given frank opinions about .each other. Some of the opinions have been highly critical.
IMAGINARY ‘TALKS
The imaginary - conversation that follows is constructed “from wartime memoirs and other pub- lic statements:
Field Marshal “Viscount Mont- gomery: “Ike and I were poles apart when it came to conduct of the war. He thought ‘we British werent doing our share of the fighting and he said so.”’
a veteran campaigner and a for
Guignand: Monty" s wartime tue of staff): ‘“‘Why on earth de you keep saying how much you like Ike but still go.on attacking him.”
Monty: “I sent him a Christ mas card, much warmer than J sent anybody else and he never acknowledged it.”
Field Marshal Viscount Alan- brooke (chief of the Imperial gneral staff when Eisenhoweg was supreme Allied commander “Eisenhower had -never eveg commanded a battalion in action. No wonder he was at Poss what to do.”
BLOCKED BY GENERALS
Sir Winston Churchill: “Ges erals never had any ideas of thels own. Whenever I raised ideag they raised nothing but objec tions.
