All signs point to the govern- ment's biggest peacetime spend- ing budget in history. The estDn- ates will be tabled in two phases. the main figures. which likely will be presented early this week. pos- sibly Monday. and the supple- mentary approprlations which will come up later in the session.

Last year. Mr. Abbott fabled estimates .of t3.580.000.(X)0 for the fiscal year which ends March 31 next. and later followed with sup- plernentaries of about S120,000.000. bringing the government's spend- ing to about 53.700.000.000.

Mr. Abbott's estimates for the new fiscal year likely will total more than 84.000.000.000. including main estimates of about 03.700.000.- 0oi7I'he supplementaries likely will include funds to cover federal- provincial taxation agreements for the new fiscal year and funds to cover the cost of eradicating the foot-and-mouth disease in south Saskatchewan.

With government spending in- creasing. there likely will be few tax reductions for the Canadian in Mr. Abbott's budget to be brought down Tuesday. April 8. Prime Minister St. Laurent has already asked Canadians not to expect any "substantial" cutsiwhen the bad news comes out.

,iSettl-ling, The Snow Removal Problem

or Sale Ad

TORONTO. March 16 -(CP)- Pyiama-clad Edwin Boyd blinked from his bed into the muzzles of two .383 Saturday and a tale of blood and violence in Canada's two biggest cities came to an abrupt end.

The notorious bank robber. one of the ooui-irty's 10 most-wanted criminals, was taken quietly. but handcuffed, from a North-Central apartment at the crack of dawn. He was the third and last man caught in a. police dragnet that stretched from Montreal to Toron- to.

The bloody action started March 0 when two men shot and wounded two Toronto detectives who had stopped their car to question thorn.

In Montreal, police arrested bur- ly Steve suchan and eonard Jackson, accused of shoot ng the officers, after wild gun fights and said they were members of a gang of bank robbers headed by Boyd.

The search continued in Mont- real for Boyd. who broke out of Toronto's Don Jail with Jackson lsst Nov. 4. but Boyd was hiding out in Toronto rooming houses and police said after his capture that a woman and a newspaper advertise- ment led to his downfall.

Trailed Wif e

The woman was his 3'1-year-old wife, Dorren, with him in the bed- room of the rented apartment on Heath St. when detectives crashed through the door Police said they trailed her -for a week. certain that she would lead them to the crafty bandit.

The advertisement was a"Car for Sale" two-liner on a classified page. It offered a. 1949 English-type car for S850 and gave a telephone number. Police were watching for such an advertisement.

Leads Police

Payne who helped make the cap- ture said:

"Ali I can tell you now is that the advertisement proved to be a most vital link in hunting down Boyd-"

Police reported they found an open briefcase with ii, revolver and 085.038 in cash. In a coat hanging behind the bed were bags of pepper apparently intended for throwing into the eyes of pursuers.

They also -found letters addres-I sed to newspapers. signed by Boyd, they said in part:

"Start guarding your families. for I am no longer a respecter of persons. . .keep out of my way and avoid bloodshed."

Posed As Writer

The detectives found out that' Boyd had rented the apartment by posing as a writer who wanted quiet. They struck a. few hours after Boyd moved in, together with his wife and his brother, Norman.

A black tomcist appeared to be the only occupant of the house stirring when police closed in. It padded along at the heels of the raiders. who wore bullet-proof vests ,snd carried tear gas, rifles. revolvers and machine-guns.

Neither Boyd, nor his wL'e offer- ed any resistance. The brother. Norman. surrendered in another bedroom.

Boyd was charged with escaping custody, two recent bank robberies. having offensive weapons and the theft of a car. He still faces seven bank robbery charges on which he was awaiting trial at the time of the jailbreak.

Mrs. Boyd and Norman Boyd were charged with harboring an escaped prisoner.

More than 5170.000 was taken in the holdups. only the 325,037 has been recovered.

KOJE ISLAND Korea, March 16 -(AP)- A violent rock fight be- tween rlval groups of North Kor- esn prisoners in this Allied stock- ade erupted into a shooting in which 12 Communist prisoners gere killed and 26 wounded Thurs- DY.

Capt. Walter R. Leahy us New- ton, Mass. prison security officer. reported the shooting was done by south Korean soldier guards after he himself had been knocked down by a stone in the face and despiie his orders not to fire.

Leahy told correspondents the North Korean prisoners in com- pound 93 had renounced Cominun- ism about five days ago and had begun displaying Republic of Kor- ea and United Natinos flags. The p.' more in an a.dJacent compound No. 92. evidently remained ardent Communists.

Developments In Weapons "Astouniling"

WEST POINT. N.Y.. March to -(GP)- General J. Lawton Col- lins said in a Founder's my ad- dress today that the United states is on the threshold of new develop- ments in weapons that "astound even the most sanguine planner."

The chief of staff of the United States army marked the 150th an- niversary of West Point. March is 1802. President Thomas Jefferson signed the bill establishing the military academy.

The General said:

"We are on the threshold of new developments that ompletely es- found even the most sanguine planner. Guided missiles. atomic weapons, jet aircraft. tremendous- ly powerful ammunition. and many other advances are all creat- ing a new frame work of defence.

”Their implications are so vast and their potential so promising that if we are not careful it is pos- sible that our total national effort could be directed into one specific system to the detriment of other systems, which in time might prove even more effective."

Collins did not elaborate on his reference to new weapons.

Last December. however. Collins said the United states has devel- oped atomic artillery and that it "has been tested as a weapon." .m.B..Cm.B..mmm, front of the work party.

Leahy shouted "Chung ii"- "Stop it." He said the south Kor- ean soldier heading the guards on the work detail begged Leahy to let him open fire.

Good” Progress In Road Clearance

A surprise snow-storm that was expected to by-pass this area mov- ed in Friday night from the south- west and laid a clean fresh 4 inch blanket of snow on top of the dis- appearing drifts of previous storms this winter.

Although main highways throughout the Province were re- ported blccked Saturday, officials of the Government Garage painted a much brighter picture of the road conditions last night.

As soon as the drifting had sub- sided all government plows were out in a maximum effort to clear main high-ways for irnvel as quickly as possible.

The road from Charlottetown to Borden via Bonshaw was reported as cleared last night as well as the road from Charlottetown to Montague. The st. Peter's Road was causing the most difficulty and due to iiesvy cuttings en- countered the plows had only managcd to get as far as Marsh- field.

Good progress was being made on the main highway from Char- lottetown to Summerside until the plow working on that d broke it's axle. bogging down operations in the vicinity of Springfield. It is exipecied that the same plow af- ter being repaired or another one will open the road sometime this morning. The same road is open from summerslde to Kensingion. The Summerside lo Borden road was also expected to be cleared for traffic by late last night.

Car Ferry Delayed

Considcrnble difficulty was ex- perienced by the cur-ferry Abeg- weit Saturday during her crossing from Borden to Tormentlne with the Borden train. Most of the way she had to pile-drive through heavy sheets of ice that had form- ed in the straits resulting in a 3- hours dslay in reaching the main- land. Coming back with the Bor- den train the some trouble was again encountered by the car ferry. This time she tied up at the Borden dock 2 hours late.

With the exception of the Souris train. which was 30 minutes late arriving here Saturday. trains for that day were reported as having run on time or within a few min-

utes of schedule. All freight trains yesterday were reported running on time.

The only flight cancelled by

Maritime Central Airways Satur- day was the New Glasgow run which had to be washed out be- cause of snow-lillcd runways there. All fligh-is yesterday were reported as on schedule and of- ficials of the Airways stated that the New Glasgow runway had been cleared for operations.

Fertility Tests

The soil of this Province may

be considered good for the cul- tivation of crops, but it needs careful manageme '. said Mr. J.

B. Whlfeside. agronomlst for soil

survey and soil fertility at the Experimental Farm.

Mr. Whlteslde prepared the booklet. "Soil Survey of P.E.l.",

which was reviewed in Saturday's Guardian and which tells the re- sult of his efforts in determining the different types of soil various parts of the Province. He came to this Province at the re- quest of the Provincial Govern- ment in 1943 and at the conclus- ion of his survey in 1945 remain- ed on the staff of the Experimen- tal Farm here.

A native of Manchester, Eng- land, he came to Canada in 1914 and several years later, entered the Ontario Agricultural College. Guelph, from which he graduated in 1929. He served on the College staff for four your: doing soil sur- vey work before going to Nova Scotia in 1934 to enter the Fed- eral service. While there he made soil surveys of the Annapolis Val- ley and Cumberland County in co- operation with the late Dr. L. C. Harlow. Truro, the Province's representative in ilie joint Fed- eral-Provincial project.

Mr. Whiteside stated that at present he is making several soil fertility experiments for the pur- pose of putting the survey to practical use. The experiments are being conducted on soil from various sections of the Island. Mr. Whiteslde, who lives on School Street. is married to a former Ontario girl and they have two children. both girls. He ex- pressed his liking for Prince Ed- ward Island and said he hopes to remain here permanently.
