WASHINGTON. Jan. so -(AP) --state Secretary John Foster Dulles gave a new prod to falter- ,ng European unity plans today as we left for Europe on I. fact-find.-l pg survey with e "iZ00d llmk rend-OH from President Eisen- IUWET.

After a '. 'hreakfast conference with nigeniicwer and Foreign Aid 31;-ectagtiif, Stasseriy at the whim I-I , Dulles' issued A statement. that co-operation imong the Western Allies is I

natter of the "utmost import- ince.” Dulles praised the plan for I

nuropean army with German divi- rions. which France and western Germany have delayed ratifying. He called it a "step toward that mlty which all recognize as neces- iary." and said it was developed iy the Europeans themselves wvith great courage and imagina- non."

Authoritative informants -say the Eisenhower administration is worried that unless the French Ind West German Parliaments lot on the European defence com- munity treaties by March or April. the whole American .aid policy may run into danger in the new Republican-dominated Congress.

fishing in territorial and coastal waters from the encroachment of foreign vessels. The bill represent- ed revision of a former act and re- moved obsolete provisions. It would give the Governor-In-ccum cil power to iwue permits to the fishing vessels of any foreign

country to enter any port.

Mir. MacNaught said the present act purported to exclude from Canadian territorial waters for- eign fishing vels but there was no definition of what constituted a. fishing vessel. The new bill gave that definition. only forfeiture had been. the penalty for foreign vessels entering territorial waters in the past,but the new measure made provision for fines as alter- native methods of punishment.

A simplifed procedure for the seizure and forfeiture of foreign vessels was being provided and enforcement would be the respon- sibility of Canadian vessels and officers alone.

All fishing vessels. except can- adian. will be prohibited from ter- ritorial waters unless permitted by treaty.

J. A. MacLcan. Progressive Conservative.

He wondered if restrictions would be placed on deep-sea fish- ing which was important to parts- of the Maritlmes where tourists came for tuna and other fishing.

He also wondered if foreign owners of fishing vessels could get around the new bill by leasing a Canadian-registered vessel which could be operated within Cana-

The British Columbia herring fleet stayed in port this season be- cause of a. price dispute with oper- ators and fishmcal must be sought in outside markets.

Feed dealers here want to buy roughly 5325.000 worth of flshmeal and have cabled agents in Peru. Chile. South Africa, the United Kingdom. The Netherlands, Nor- way and Iceland.

."fmported meal." one importer said today. "will cost B. C. buyers sl2.50 a ton more. or about 55160."

A 100-ton shipment arrived here from Peru Jan. 14, the first fish- meal imported to B. C. since the mid-20's. Exporters reported 25.- 000 tons of herring meal shipped from here in 1952.

Fishmeal is used in the poultry industry. Higher prices paid on imports may be reflected later in the price of poultry products.

DEVENPORT. England. Jan. 30 --(AP).-. Minor damage .disc0YP,1'r. ed aboard the a'ircmff7"'7:iir'i-lax" Warrior and a false alarm on the

liner Queen Elizabeth added sparks today to Britain's sabotage Jitters.

A ranking Admiralty spokes-

man, while making no reference to fires on two liners or the War- rior incident, warned against a Communist fifth column.

Rupert speir, Parliamentary private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty, told s. Conserva- tive meeting the ”Russians are following 100 per cent in Nazi footsteps" and the only difference between them is that. whereas the Nazis ”had no fifth column in Britain, the Communists have I large and active fifth column."

The Royal Navy launched an immediate investigation when naval headquarters here announc- ed "minor damage to an electri- cal cable" had been discovered on the Warrior.

Scotland Yard detectives al- ready were investigating fires which destroyed the s5.000.000 liner, Empress of Canada, at Liv- erpooi Sunday and gave firemen a stiff half-hour battle on the giant Queen Elizabeth at South- ampton Wednesday.

Four fire engines and a float responded in six minutes tonight when fire alarms clangcd on the Queen Elizabeth. But Cunard Line officials said it was a false alarm. set off by I mechanical fault on "C" deck.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30 --(AP) - President Eisenhower was re- ported on excellent authority to- night to be about ready to take the wraps off the Chinese Nation- alists on Formosa, thus freeing them to raid the Communist main- land of China.

The U. S. 7th Fleet has been standing guard, under a mandate from former President Truman. to prevent attacks on the mainland by Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalists or attacks on Formosa by the Chinese Communists.

One purpose of the projected move is to create a new strategic threat to the Chinese communist forces fighting in Korea and Indo- China.

The possibility of a Nationalist strike from Formosa. and the dan- ger which that possibility creates for China's main north-south rail line. might reduce the mobility of Red Chinese armies by tying up large forces in the regions across the 90-mile water gap between Formosa and the mainland.

Truman announced on June 27.

1950. an order directing the fleet to protect Formosa. and the Chinese Nationalist Government of Gener- alisslmo Chiang Kai-shek from Red invasion. At the same time he called upon Chiang to halt all air and sea operations against the mainland. That policy still stands although it is understood that in recent months the Chinese Nationalists on their own have been undertaking small-scale raids.

Five Escape

-Five persons narrowly escaped death by drowning last evening about six o'clock when the car in which they were returning home to Carleton skidded on the ice at the Red Bridge at Wilmot and crashed through the wooden rall- ing and into the river.

The car. 3. 1948 Oldsmobile. driv- en by Mr. Garden Lawson. left the clay road at a. point on the bridge where the wooden railing joins the iron railing. With Mr. Lawson were his wife. and three small children. Sylvia 3 years, Bruce 2 years and Garden, 16 months.

The five people owe their lives to the quick actions of Mr, Elmer Hammlll and his brother, Mr. Ed- win Hammill of the staff o' the Bank of Nova Scctia. stimmerside. The two young men were going to their home in Freetown and were some distance behind the Lawson car. They did not see it go over the bridge but saw the splash of water as the car broke through the ice

A number of other peo- ple gathered at the scene and with the aid of a rape the children and Mr. and Mrs. Lawson were hauled to the bridge and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs, Hartwell Condon nearby. -

VANCOUVER, Jan: 30- (oP)A Aviation experts today blamed heavy icing for three of four plane crashes in British Columbia and Washington State this week. One person is known dead. 2'1 are missing and there is only one known survivor from crashes of two RCAF planes. one B. C. Cen- tral Airways Aircraft and a U. 5. Navy plane. K 7 Latest plane added to the miss- ing list is an RCA? Mitchell bomber which vanished Thursday night 14 minutes out of. Vane .. ver Airport on altrainlng fllzlil from Saskatoon. Five men were aboard.

It was doubtful the plane could have crashed on land in'the heav- ily-pcpulated Vancouver area without somebody seeing or hear- ing it and Air Forces officials were inclined to think the bomber had plunged into the harbour or Georgia Strait. , Bad weather also halted the air search for an RCAF plane with seven aboard missing in the Cen-
