North Shore Protests Re RCAF Gunnery Range Raised In Parliament

OTTAWA, April 26-(Special)- Ivory precaution will be taken by the R.C.A.F. to choose a bombing and gunnery range on the nortll coast of Prince Edward Island

which will interfere with the fishing industry as little as pos- sible.

This assurance was given in the House of Commons today by J. Watson MacNaught, parliamentary assistant to Fisheries Minister Mayhew in reply to a question asked by W. Chester S. McLurc, Progressive Conservative member for Queen's.

The two F. E. l. members locked horns over the term "junior". in answering Mr. Mcl.ure's question. Mr. MacNnught referred to him as the junior member for Queen's. Nettlcd by 1115,;-geference. Mr. Mc- Lure said thG.":tlahermen on the north coast of the Province should be notified of the area of the bombing range by the "junior of- ficial" of the department before the opening of the season.

l-iansard, official record of the House of Commons, deleted Mr. McLure's reference to the "junior official". since Mr. Speaker rose to call order. The phrase was spoken. amid cries of ”ordcr" from Liberal benches.

Mr. McLure said he has received many telegrams and letters from Rustico and other sections protest- ing against the establishment of a bombing and gunnery range in the centre of the fishing-grounds. "Fills restricted area, as reported- ly planned will result in a great loss to all fishermen on the North Shore," he said.

Fisheries Minister Mayhcw said he had not seen correspondence on the subject but that his parlia- mentary assistant, (Mr. Mac- Naughtl. was prepared to answer the question. Mr. Mactiaught told the Commons:

May 0pen Highways For Motor Traffic lip To 12,000 Pounds

With I view to facilitating transportation for fishermen, it is rolmrted that the Government may give immediate considera- tion to opening the highway: for traffic of motor vehicles up to 12.000 lbs. total weight of vehicle and load.

Since the closing of the high. ways on March 23, all motor vehicle traffic of over 5,000 lbs. has been wohibitori.

say that such protests have been received by the department from time to time.

"Negotiations have been con- ducted between the Department of National Defence and the Depart- ment of Fisheries with a view to selecting a site for a bombing range along the North Shore of Prince Edward Island, but no de- finite decision has yet been made.

"Before the site is selected. every precaution will be taken to see that the minimum amount of damage will be done to the fish- ing industry of Prince Edward is- land."

Departmental officials said today that ii bombing range suitable for R.C.A.F. purposes must be within 30 miles of the Summerside air base. Since such a range may not be established in Northumberland Strait on account of navigation regulations, it must be located on the north coast of the Province. Mr. Lester Douglas. Liberal mem- ber for Queen's, has been active in urging protection of the fisher- men's interests. as well as Messrs. lViacNaught and McLure.

U. S. Adds Big Slice To Defence Fun-dis

Aillee's Gov'i. Survives Three Close Votes

LONDON. April 26 -(S?) - Brltain's Labor Government won three close Votes today, and thus lived to fight another day.

With its life at stake, it surviv- ed two parliamentary divisions by the identical margin of five votes. Almost simultaneously, it was an- nounced wlnner in a by-election in Dunbartonshire West. Scotland,

This time the verdict was by 298 votes-after a recount.

Victory in Dunbarton raises the Government's voting majority to 311, a majority of eight over the oomibineci Opposition. Every vote Probably will be vital in divisions expected during the next few weeks on the finance bill.

Today's divisions in the House of Commons. in either of which a Government defeat almost certain- ly would have forced a. new gener- nl election, went to Labor by identical figures-304 to 299-amid scenes of unusual animation in a standing-room-only chamber.

The Opposition was attacking two pnoposals in the 1950-51 bud- get. Oile douibles-the gasoline tax from, nine pence (12 cents) to is 6d. a nation. The other places a 33 1-3 per cent purchase tax on trucks.

The government went into the division lobbies today with a paper voting strength of 310. Of the six who did not vote. four were re- ported ill. one was absent because of his wife's illness and the sixth "paired" his vote - that is. agreed with is Conservative that both would aibstain.

Foreign Secretary Bevin was one of the Laborlabsentees: he is in hospital recovering from an op- eration. Defence Minister Shin- well was taken ill in the House of Commons lobby with stomach pains but participated in both div- islons.

The 0ppositlon's voting strength was 303, including nine Liberals. Flour absentees. three of whom were ill. reduced the total to 299.

All nine Liberals, after much heartsearching, voted against the government.

some political observers thought that the Conservatives, willie pleased at running the Govern- ment so close to defeat. were re- lieved that they had not pushed laibor over the precipice.

The issues at stake, while suf- ficient to bring about the Gov- ernment's resignation. were not re- garded as sound grounds for in- volving the country in another election.

However. the continued strain upon the Government is likely to be reflected in increased labor pressure on Attlee to go to the country by full at the latest.

Today's by-election victory in Scotland brought i.aibor's parlia- mentary standing to 134 in the 625- seat House of Commons. But three members from the Labor Party and the same number of Conservatives act as tellers and chairmen of committees and do not vote in div- lSll0l'iS.

Premier Non-Committal On New Highway Route

Beyond verifying the bare offic- ial descrlption of the Trans-Cam ada highway route as given in Tuesday's issue of The Guardian. Premier J. Walter Jones. who re- turned iast night from Ottawa, said he had no information to re- lease at the present time.

The official report stated the route would be from Wood Islands through Millvlew to the eastern boundary of Charlottetown. again from the north boundary of the city through Cornwall, Bonshaw and Tryorl to Borden.

Even this outline. the Premier intimated, was not necessarily final as the Government could divert the route at any point in the course of the programme.

Yesterday's Ottawa despatch in- timated that the route from Wood Islands would be via the Selkirk Road and not along the Shore Road. This was not in the agree- ment at all. Premier Jones said. Queried as to whether it was in fact the route to be taken, he re- fused to say.

He took the same attitude with regard to the location of the route in the vicinity of Charlottetown. "We will come through Charlotte- town if we can, but if we can't we will divert it," he stated. The ques-

Winnipeg florid Threats Eased

WIZNNIPEG. April 26 - (CP) - The Red River's flood threat eased today at Winnipeg but experts pre- dict the risk may grow again in in few days,

Sixty miles upstream, at the flood-stricken borden town of Emerson, the surging river's rise was slowed to one-quarter inch an hour.

The Reds northbound flood crest passed Grand Forks, North Dak- ota, Tuesday and the United States Corps of Engineers predicted from its level that the Emerson peak will be lower than expected.

A.J. Taunton. deputy city en- gineer at Winnipeg, said the peak river level for the year may have been reached here.

The optimistic forecasts made today the most hopeful day the Red River valley has seen since the spring run-off began in earn- est a couple of weeks ago.

But most engineers agreed the flood risk iitill is serious.

A 16-inch fall of snow in most of North Dakota and Minnesota - the Red's headwaters .. held the key to the situation.

Cold weather and snow brought added hardship to flood evacuees in Emerson area. Almost two-thirds of the town was under water to- night and '75 buildings were isolat- ed in the business district.

More than M familica. about 330 persons, were forced from their homes.

The flood spilled beyond the 1048 flood-area limits into residential areas believed safe.

Trains were still running. and milk and bread supplies came in regularly from Winnipeg, There was no apparent risk of food short- ago. Other towns northward along the lied continued emergency prepar- ations as the water climbed grad- ually. At least to persons left Mor- ris. about halfway between Winni- peg and Emerson. Plans were made to evacuate patients from Morris Hospital if necessary.

At Winnipeg the river remained steady at 211 feet. a drop of some five inches from the high recorded

Ilondli.

tlon of cost would be 8. main 1- sideration.

A new Hillsboro bridge would cost in the vicinity of 54,000,000. and 9. Brighton bridge would cost "nearly as much," Premier Jones said. He intimated strongly that Brighton bridge was "definitely out" but said the Hlllsboro bridge location was still a matter for con- slderation.

"A great deal of survey work has to be done before these details can be determined," he said. "Isn't it enough for the people to know that they are getting in Trans-Canada Highway from Borden to Tormen- tine, by the shortest pactlcnble route? Why should they want to know whether it passes through somebody's farm or not? I don't think the newspapers should cater to their curiosity. Let them wait and see."

The Premier took the stand that divulging of further information would only be "playing into the hands of speculators." Asked when the information would be forth- coming, he said he didn't know. That would depend upon the pro- gress of the surveys.

Asked whether he was satisfied with the agreement, he retorted: "I signed it. didn't I?"

A disastrous fire, reportedly or- iginating from a bonfire, com- pletely destroyed a large barn at Kinkora yesterday afternoon, own- ed by Mr. John Farmer.,

The blaze was discovered about two o'clock and residents of the community hurried to the scene and with the aid of former A. R.- P. pumps endeavored to control the fire. it had, however, gained too much headway and within a short time the building was a mass of flames.

Twenty-two head of cattle were in the barn at the time and all were saved except one calf. Sev- eral pieces of farm machinery however were destroyed, including B tractor plow, cultivator and hay mower, as well 05 a large quantity of hay and grain.

The barn was on the old home- stead property of Michael Farm- er and the house is rented and occupied by Mrs. A. .McMahon.

Only a light wind was blowing at the time and away from the res- idence and st. Malachy's Church, which was only one hundred yards away. Had the wind been stronger and in the opposite direction, res- idents aay that the Church would have been doomed.

It could not be learned last even- ing what the estimated loss would be but it is understood that it was fairly well covered by insurance.

During the late afternoon and evening the residents of the com- munity gathered at the still burn- ing rulns mid with horses and' tractors dragged away the smould-' ering sills to protect the nearby house and church from danger, A crew of men remained on watch all night to prevent B. further out- break. - S

Heavy Snowfall . .

LONDON, April 26 -- (AP) Britain's licliviest April snowfall in 31 years snarled train services and put thousands of telephones out. of order today.

The winter-in-spring wcather also swept over Western Europe.

Southeast Britain recorded snow- falls ranging up to 12 inches. some trees and telephone poles snapped under the weight of wet snow. blocking railways and roads. Rail- way aignal systems in the. south- orn region flickered out and offic- ials said there was no hope of re- storing normal service tonight.

Rain fell at times during the day. Hail and torrential rain was re- ported from the sheffied area.

Preeaing temperatures gripped Franco and high winds swept over the countryside. It rained heavily in Belgium. but temperatures rose to about 40 degrees. Copenhagen had cold but sunny weather.

Defence-(liiefs Declare Cold War is Warmer

VVASIIINGTON, April 26 - (AP) -- Notified by defence chiefs that the cold war has grown more ser- ious. Congress lenders moved swift- ly today to add s350,ooo.ooo to Un- ited states defence funds and ex- tend the Draft Act.

First, the House of Representa- tives appropriations committee at an emergency session voted the ad- ditional s350.000,000 for air and naval defences on recommendation of Dence Secretary Louis Johnson and the joint chiefs of staff.

Reverses Stand

Several hours later, chairman Carl Vinson (Dem. Ga.) of the House armed services committee reversed his previous stand and came out for is two-year extension of the Selective Service Act. Vin- son said he changed his mind be- cause of "present world condi- tions."

Prospects for congressional ap- proval of the new defence funds appear much brighter than for ex- tending the draft.

Representative Joseph Martin of Massachusetts, House Republican lender, told reporters he would go along with the appropriations com- mlttee. He said that while Repub- licans have been demanding econ. omy. the advice of the joint chiefs should he followed.

While the administration has asked for extension of the draft law expiring in June. there have been no draft calls since January, 1949. and opposition has built up against continuance of the act.

Vinson said his committee will open hearings Tuesday on the mat- ter. with Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, as the first witness.

The 850,000,000 was asked for the air force and navy for new planes, warship conversion and the anti-submarine program.

Defence Plans Revised

Tile full appropriations group acted within two hours after John- son told house and senate sub. committees that the Russian at- omic explosion had come "soyng. what in advance of the date we had anticipated."

This had caused a complete re- valuation of defence plans by both the United states and the North Atlantic pact members. 1-re magi-1 he had delayed his recommenda-

OTTAWA, April 26-(C4?)-Tho Government today slashed the wholesale support price of cream- ary butter by approximately five cents a pound and said it would requisition cheddar cheese, start- ing May 1.

Dairy experts said later the drop in the support price from last year's 58 cents a. pound to 56 cents in the east and 52 1-) cents in Western Canada may be passed along to the consumer.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner. announcing the new support price in the Commons. said it would be effective from May 1 to April 30. 1951.

He disclosed that the Govern- ment still has in storage almost 19,500,000 pounds of butter bought last year and said this would be sold at the Government's new cell- ing price-53 :ents a pound in Central Canada with slight varia- tions in the west and east.

' Loss To Government

An agricultural official. am- piifying this remark, said it would mean a loss to the Government of about 51,300,000 on the amount of butter the government now has in storage. The butter was bought at about 58 cents is pound, for sale at 80 1-! cents.

This is in addition to any poa- iibla loss suffered by dealers who had bought Government butter at the old price of no 1-2 cents a.

pound and who have not been able to move the stocks by the end of April. Mr. Gardiner al- ready has announced that the

Government will absorb this loan as well.

The new selling price for butter will he 53 cents 5 pound on deliv- eries in Ontario and Quebec. In ' Halifax it may be about one cent higher and in Vancouver about lower.
