OTTAWA, June 22 — (CY)- Finanoe Minister Abbott reit- erated ln the Commons today that the special austerity taxes imposed last November will be lifted when ‘ti-cumstancee" justify their removal,

Commenting on a Canadian Press story reporting that the Government was ‘anxious to drop the taxes and that only the question of timing restrained to be settled, he said: i

“It is most unusual for a Minister of Finance or any 0th- er Minister of the Crown to either confinn or deny rumors of this kind, but in view of the widespread publicity which h“ been given this rumor .... I have no alternative but to say that the rumor is without foun- detlon.”

He said the "time when and the extent to which" the taxes would be removed remains a lfl “ of Government policy Which will be announced "in due course and not by my m- nror in the newspapers."

First Meeting

Fails To Reach Any Decision

By RICHARD KASISCHKE

BERLIN, June 22 — (AP)—Th0 fourpoiwer meeting seeking s com- promise currency reform for Ber- lln broke up tonight without reaching a decision.

It was the first meeting in more than three months of high level Soviet and Western Power repre- sentatives.

Financial representatives of the four occupying powers discussed for three hours the question of working out a money revision for Berlin and agreed to meet uguln tonight. The fact that a second meeting was considered worthwhile was believed to be a good omen.

With Germany economically div- ided by two currencies, the four powers sought to spare Berlin the same division. Both sides agreed that the introduction of two rival monies in this four-power city would invlle economic chaos, and they sought to work out a com- pro-misc.

The meeting in the Allied Con- trol Council building was the first since March 20 when the Russians angrily walked out of a Control Council meeting. The four-power machinery for governing Germany has been at a standstill from that time on. '

Today's conference was brought about by the institution of a new deutache mark in Westcm Germ- any beginning Sunday. The Soviet zone is still using the old Hitler, or relchsmark.

The Russians clamped on g, tra-

A-anl wet-blockade cl their’ zone and the

western routes to Berlin, and in- stituted a stringent control cf all incoming freight to prevent West- ern Gebmanys worthless reichs- marks from being dumped here and in the soviet zone.

Berlin continued to he pinched by the Soviet travel and transport restrictions. With military trains stopped by these controls, the U.E. army resorted to the air to supply the city's 10,000 Americans.

The emergency “air lift" went into lhigh gear at Templehof alr- base where '15 planes came in from Western Gennany and 75 went cut during the day. The incoming planes brought about 157 tons c-t food and other supplies. -

British authorities continued tn receive so military freight by train beca they were using open cars which could easily be inspec- ted by Russian "currency hunt- ers." The Americans refused to let the Russians open sealed cars which the United States army is using.

Drop Dutlook Less Favorable Dn Prairies

OTTAWA, June 22—(CP)—Cooi, dry weather prevailed over the greater part of the Prairies during the last week and rains are need- ed, the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics said today in a periodic re- pprt of Western crop conditions. Topsoil moisture reserves have been diminishing over parts of Manitoba, most of Saskatchewan and much of Central and North Alberta. Fairly general rains in Manitoba and showers in Albflta yesterday gave some relief but fur- ther ralns are required.

All three Provinces report "poor" germinathgiJol late-seeded crops

and the roau said that unless conditions more favorable to ger- mination and growth develop “in the very near future" ultimate yields in the affected areas are al- most certain to be curtailed. Insect infestations have not been too severe to date in Alberta and Manitoba but severe gresshooper damage is being experienced over many sections of central, south- western and western Saskatche- wan. libttensive control measures are expected to reduce the loss

considerably. ~

Dniy P.E.l. Claims Federal Aid For Potato Warehouses

OTTAWA, June 22 — (CP) ._. Prince Edward Island was the only Province to receive assistance [rgm the Dominion last. year in the CO/Ii- structiun cf potato warehouses, Robert McCubblii, parliamentary assistant to Agriculture Minister Gardiner, said today in the Com. TITOTTS. l-le said that if a co-operatlve de- cides to build a. potato warehouse in any Province, it can apply to the Provincial Government for as- sistance. If the Provincial Govern- ment approves the project the Federal Government also will as- sist. ' The co-operatlve pays 25 per cent of the cost and the Dominion and the Province share the re- mnliider. Requests for assistance came last ycar only from Prince Ed- ward Island. G. K. Fraser (PC-Peterborcugh West) brought up the question of how the assistance was divided. He wondered what could be clone about building ' warehouses in Central Canada. He said he had bought 10 pounds of P.E.l. potatoes recently and they cost him g7 cents. "I thought that was rather high," he said meekly looking over at his colleague W. Chester s. MCLrrre (PC-Queens).

"You should be prepared to pay for a good potato," interjected Mr. McLure.

PHILADELPHIA. Juno 27/- (AW-Senator Robert Taft and Harold Stassen were reliably reported conferring tonight in an attempt to pool their strength in a stop-Dewey drive. PHILADELPHIA, June 22-40?) Hotel room strategy today streng- thened the forecasts that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York will win his third try for the Re- publican nomination.

While politicians arid entertain- ers rallied the rank-and-flle dele- gates and visitors in the national convention hall, uptown huddles brought announcement that Penn- sylvania will go for Dewey.

It was announced that this state's favorite son, Senator Ed- ward Martin, will not only ask his delegates to vote for Dewey but the Senator himself will do the nominating.

Dewey strategy also won a fairly firm promise that Alabama, first slate in alphabetical order to take the floor for nomlnations,wlll yield to Pennsylvania, thus opening the way io get Dewey's name before the convention first.

Pennsylvania has ‘l3 delegate votes and one is firmly pledged to senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, favorite dark horse com-

Rctary Convention Off T0 Good Start

Growing Feeling Dewey Nomination

More than 200 Rotary delegates from the Maritimes, Newfound- land, and Maine took over the Prince Ed-ward Theatre yesterday morning "for the official opening of the 102ml District Conference of Rotarians and listened. to brief but cordial addresses of welcome from LieuL-Governor J. A. Ber- nard, Premier J. Walter Jones, Acting-Mayor N. W. Lowther, and Edrwin C. Johnstone, president of the Charlottetown Club. Mr. Percy W. Turner was chairman.

The addresses 'were ably respond- ed to by Mr. Fred Sheari of Arno- stook County, Maine, who said the hcspltaiib/ the Maine delegates had received in the Province was "overwhelming". He referred to the hospitality they had received at Government House and said the United States visitors would go back to their homes with unforget- ablo memories of the kindnesscs and courtesies they had received from the Island people. i

District Governor James A. Ford. Moncton, N, 13., told the delegates that "living within the laws of the Ten Commandments and in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount" are the motivating objects of Ro- tary.

“We have passed out of the stage of competition," Mr, Fiord said, "in-to the era of (to-operation and the Rotary Clubs symbolize that fact."

Mr. Ford said he bespoke a large attendance for the incoming Gov- ernor at liis assembly at the close of the conference.

Mr. Leo Golden, Rotary International, Hartford, Conn,, told the delegates there were 325,000 Rotations in 80 coun-
