RESISTANCE STIFFENS AGAIN ON CENTRAL FRONT

n.i1.irAx.'Mmn so-tcr) -

400 to 1,000 tons a ship.

A mg cargo of war l..,...,;-tcdiy the first Tiio's Yugoslavia-was being de- ncniciy handled here tonight in the most elaborate .secrecy and may blanket since the war years.

onn of the scretive factors in the shipment was the destination of the ship being loaded tonight. one official was definite that. it was bound for Yugoslavia.

The freighter San Jose. how- nor. sailed 24 hours ago with is similar cargo of dangerous wan explosives on a voyage to Bel- gilim.

The cargo included bombs, TNT. detonators and other ex- plosives.

The definite size of the ship- mcnt also found some contradic- tion. It ranged all the way from

, One of the ships-the one still VElw- 1 Jr s. d a I I M. I '” M""”u built in her holds here to hold

the cargo.

Civil and military police stood guard around the piers and fire- men were on the spot in case of emergency. Two fire tugs were stationed at the scene.

Stevedores. loading the tricky cargo under supervision of ex- perts from Ottawa and Montreal. collected extra danger pay.

One source said the strict sec- recy regulations were imposed because officials didn't want to alarm xploslon-conscious Hali- gonians and as a'"routine secur- ity precaution."

The explosives came to Halifax by train and were shunted to

the piers in three-car lots from the aidlngs at. Suburban Bed- ford.

Operatic? Being Carried Out At Enlweioit "

WASHINGTON, March Z) - (AP)-A new series of atomic bomb blasts is under way at the Eniwetck proving grounds in the Pacific, the Atomic Energy Com- mission hinted today.

It referred to a "test" program of a "major" character and said one aim is to gather information which will help architects design buildings to stand up better under atomic blasts. ' .

The projects at the remote Pacific atoll has been nicknamed "Operation Greenhouse."

The commission gave no hint as to what type. or types, of atomic weapons were involved.

Presumably. thou h. they would be models substant ally improved as compared with those tested in the first series of Enlwetok trials in the spring of 1948.

: Montgomery Named

Eisenhoweris Deputy

By Carter L. Davidson

PARIS. March 20 -(AP) -Gen. Dwight Eisenhower chose Brit- ain's Field Marshal Montgomery as deputy commander of his At- lantic Pact army today and com- pleted the high command with the appointment of eight other officers to staff jobs.

Viscount Montgomery won fame with his victories over the Ger- mans in the North African desert and served under Eisenhower as commander of British ground forces in Europe during the Sec- ond World War. He is 63.

The appointments nearly wind up the planning stages for an in- ternational forco of perhaps 3.000,- 000 men to defend free Europe against communist agg. ' n.

The force still hasn't many soldiers, airmen or sailors-or gunsiplanes and ships. These. however. are to be supplied as swiftly as possible by the 12 At- lantic Pact nations supporting

ers. Allied powers in Europe. Eisenhower picked another Brit- on for his deputy commander for air. He is Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Saunders. 57. a veteran of air warfare in the Far East. Appointment of the two British officers to top jobs in S.H.A.P.E. is expected to go far in salving British pride ' wounded by the nomination of U. S. Admiral Wil- liam M. Fcchtcler to command the North Atlantic ocean region. .Winston Churchill and others contended that. slnc Eisenhower had the top Allied post in Ehiropc. a British admiral should have been given the top naval job. Today's appointments raised to 21 the number of staff officers named to high positions in shape. Seven United states officers, six British. five French. one Italian. one Norwegian and one Dane make up the list. i The officers named so far aver- age just over 53 years in age. All are veterans of the last war. some of

TOKYO. March 21 - (Wednes- day: - (AP). - United Nations troops advancing Tuesday along the rnourrtnlnous spine of Central Korea collided with the silffest enemy resistance in days.

There were increasing signs, mainly on the central front, that the communists were getting ready to make a stand.

News Blackout

In one of the most stringent news restrictions since the war be- gan, Gen. MacArthur prohibited wt respondents from 'referring to distances to a certain point on the Korean peninsula.

(This was an obvious ban against locating U. S. forces in relation to the politically-important 38th par- aiiei.

(Before the ban the U. S. Eighth

, Army had announced Allied forces

were within 17 miles of parallel 38 at 10 scattered points).

Censorsgpermltted disclosure of the Allied caapture last Saturday of the Ch-ungypyong reservoir and power station 25 miles northeast of Seoul. Allied troops were op- erating beyond that.

Plan To Return

Discovery of buried caches of enemy vuwesipons and a broadcast from Pyongyang, North Korean coploia-1. hinted the Communists plan to return some day.

The Pyongyang radio exhorted Korean youth to rise against the United Nations during "World Youth Week," startling Wednesday.

AP correspondent Nate Polow-' etzky reported Allied forces ad- vs-ncing on the central front found hidden howitzers, mortars. ma- chine guns and rocket launchers.

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld.. March 20-(CP)-An all-out effort to eliminate importation of poul- try, pork and pom: products into Newfoundland will be launched shortly by the Pro- vincial Government. Patrick J. Murray, director of agricult- ure. said today.

The plan will aim to in- crease production here and divert most of the 51,500,000 spent yearly on imports into the pockets of Newfoundland farmers, Mr. Murray said.

First step in the scheme will be scene; of meetings between farmers and trade represent- atives. one of which has al- ready been held. The biggest difficulty to date. Mr. Murrsy said. was how to rates present- ly inadequate cold storage facilities to meet the -needs of increased production. .

OTTAWA, March so - (Special) - second day of uiscussi be- tween representatives of potato- growcrs in the Maritimes and of. ficers of the Federal Department of Agriculture ended tonight with little apparent progress achieved.

Meetings were held behind closed doors and neither the delegates nor departmental officials were des- posed to disclose results. They em- ergcd from the conference-room serious and silent. A report that the Federal Department of Agricul- ture made an offer of support of potato prices so small that it was pronounced ”ridicuious" by the growers' representatives, was un- confirmed.

Flnal meetings between the dei- egation headed by New Brunswick Agriciilture Minister Taylor, and Agriculture Minister Gardiner and his aides are scheduled for tomor- row. Ottawa observers remarked that it was unusual for such deleg- ations to interview a cabinet min- ister and his senior officials with- out; the sponsorship and presence of members of the House of Com- mons or Senate from their dis- tricts. This was particularly true in the case of such leading figures in the potato industry as senator Pirie of New Brunswick or l-Ll-l. Hatfield. Progressive Conservative momber for Victoria-Carleton.

Prince Edward Island had other representatives in Ottawa today in addition to D. A. MacDonald, chair- man of the P. E. I. Potato Market- ing Board. They were John B. My- rlck of Tignish and Lorne Noonan of Charlottetown, both of whom were delegates to the March meet- ing of the Fisheries Council of Canada. J.

British Govit Close To Defeat On Major Issue

LONDON! March 20 - (Reuters) - The Labor Government narrow- ly missed a major defeat in the House of Commons tonight in a foreign policy issue-the new mon- etary agreement with Egypt.

The Government won by 294 votes to 291. Four more Opposition votes would have almost certalnly' meant the Government's downfall and a new electio .

The agreement. which settles Britain's war debt to Egypt. was sharply tackled not only by Con- servatives and Liberals but alsoiby some Labor members.

Four of the nine Liberals voted against the Government; the.other five were absent.
