DANVERS. Mass. March 25 - .,vp) .- Three robbers ruled an armored car of some seoomo in this peaceful community today while the driver and two guards sipped coffee in a nearby drug- :ore. 5 line robbers ignored several bags. hellvy with coin. as they fled :n a stolen car. later found abandoned. The amount of coin was not estimated officially and unofficial guesses ranged from a low hundred to 0100.000.

Police quizzed the three armored car men for hours. They would not allow newspaper men to talk with them-Lawrence Johansen the driver and guards Dennis walsh and Joseph Riley.

The men had delivered money in banks and business houses in other communities of Massa- chusetts' north shore.

After making a delivery to the D.-invers National Bank they turned the truck around and park- rri across the street in front of Ropes' Drug Store.

investigators said the robbers apparently entered the truck through the driver's seat and then gained entrance to the money compartment. '

They evidently left the armored car. owned by the United states 'l'll('klnK Company. by the rear door which can be opened only from the inside.

In a brief reference to land sci- tlement schemes in other Provinces Mr. Baker stated that those sec- tions of Canada have other sources of revenue than that from exist- ing farm lnnds. It was not unusual that many sons of farmers did not v.-isli to stay on the farms, he said. and noted that sons of men ill the professions did not necessarily fol- low the life of their fathers.

He stated that 1951 was one of, the finest. gr-owirig years in the historv of the Province with .fl0IJ(l pastures and an abundance of hay and root crops. Mr. Baker mention- ed that though the potato crop was down considerably from the two immediately preceding years the returns to the growers were eouallv ns good due to the hich nricn. prevailing.

Details lb-lie Given Shortly Al Conference

0'I'I'AWA. March 3 -(OP) - A Federal plan to stabilise beef as well as pork prices will be dis- closed before provincial agriculture ministers or their representatives in a federal-provincial conference to cpen here April 2.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner told a joint meeting of three Ot- town Kiwanis Clubs today that the federal plan is under prepar- ation for submission to the pro- vincial representatives at that time. No details were disclosed.

He said also that he hopes to "assure everyone" in 10 days" time that. Canada has become free of foot-and-mouth dis- ease, but added that he will not pres the United States to remove its embargo on Canad- ian livestock and meats until another two or three months of

"cleaning process."

Under the U. S. tariff law. the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture can remove the embargo 60 days after he is satisfied that the disease has been cradicatcd.

Meanwhile. supplementary es- iimatcs tabled in the Commons included s666.0C0 to cover pay- ments for animals slaughtered be- cause of various diseases. About 5500.000 of this amount will cover of eradicating foot-and-mouth dis- ease including reimbursement to farmers in South Saskatchewan whose animals have been destroy- ed.

Beef Surplus

Mr. Gardiner said the ,U. S. embargo. resulting from the out- break, is creating a surplus of beef in Canada and that a price stab- ilization program may have to be maintained as long as the cm- bargoiremnincd in force.

He indicated the surplus may be about 20 per cent of the beef cattle delivered to market.

"We are considering ways and means of taking care of this situ- ation." he said. The government was exploring possible markets and was asking farmers to "retain stock on the grass this summer rather than rush it on the mar- kct."

The federal hope was that ar- rangements can be made to "so stabilize returns to farmers as to assure credits and at the same time protect consumers against high costs."

i Farmers Respond

Turning to pork. Mr. Gardiner said the federal appeal to hold back hog deliveries to market has been met my farmers "in a grand

way" and he believed farmers "should be dealt with in the same spirit."

Producers had cut deliveries to 94.000 hogs in the week ended March 0 from 132.000 the previous week. The government is asking farmers to hold back deliveries for one more week so that "satis- factory arrangements" can be made with packers to accept de- livery of heavy hogs,

To adjust deliveries to what the market would hear. about six per cent of hops delivered ,had to be directed to the canning plants.

llnlil foot-and-mouth disease appeared in Canada. Canada's livestock lndustrv was doing well, Mr. Gardiner said.

Export of some 400,000 head of cattle and 26.000 dairy cows vi year was cut off by the U. S. em- bargo.
