Menzies got his mandate without having to give details on his policy of economic action. At no time has he given more than the broadest hint what he has in mind beyond current cuts in imports. tightening of bank credits and curbs on time- payment financing.

-SAFE SEAT FOR EVATT

But his ampaign appeal for threc years of government uninter- rupted by alternating elections of the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives suggests he is not plan-

Evatt's chances of losing his seat in the middle-class Sydney con- stituency of Barton appeared go Brent today that some of his sup- porters were discussing the pog. sibility of finding him a safe seat elsewhere where he could win a by-election.

With 2.000 votes to be counted. Evatt had 19.577. W. T. Arthur. a Liberal. had 13,413, and ma. Trembath, an Independent.had 1.525.

The canals had been ite open by tugs, by men ' ' ' ice with steel-tipped poles. by Giant cranes which heaved away chunks of ice. and by air-pressure forced into the cnngeallng stream.

It was a back-breaking task for the augmented canal staff.

The Saturday deadline meant the end of navigation upstream from Montreal. Navigation also will close shortly downstream along the St Lawrence river. past Quebec City and other ;iver ports. Traditionally, r i v e r navigation closes from here early in Decem- ber. as winter places an icy hand over the mighty stream that stretches more than 1.000 miles.

The Australian press heralded the coalition victory as a triumph over a divided Labor party.

PRICE FOR SPLIT

The Adelaide Advertiser's Mon- day, edition says the Labor party "paid the inevitable price of a calamitous feud which split it in two and equally of the absence of I imllcy worthy of the name. Dr. Evattp bears the inescapable re- sponsibility of both."

The conservative Sydney Mum. ing Herald says: "Labor is not only beaten but confused. disheart- ened and may even be temporarily leaderless if Dr. Evatt loses."

The Sydney Daily Telegraph says many Australians of his own and other parties would regret it if Evatt were beaten. "as by any iecklgrnins. he is a great Austral- an.

In conceding defeat Saturday. Evatt charged the government's success had been due in large part to the changing of electoral bound- ::l'ies after last year's federal can.

Labor received a greater share of the popular vote than the coalit. ion candidates despite the split in its ranks-

Evatt said the government's suc- cess was due to its "unholy al- liance" with the anti-Communist Labor group.

End of Long Tow In Sight

VANCOUVER (CP)-The end of a long. long voyage and a 3800.000 salvage prize was in sight Sunday for 19 audacious crew members of the Victoria- based tug Sudbury.

The 200-foot tug. with as crip- pled million-dollar freighter in tow. was expected here Sunday after-a hazardous 8.200-mile voy- age through mountainous North Pacific seas.

If the salvage job ends success- fully. the Sudbury prize will be a rich one-estimated unofficially as high as 3300.000.

The tow, one of the longest in the ocean's history. started Nov. 12 when the Sudbury first put a line aboard the drifting Make- donia. an 8.000-ion Greek freight- er with 33 men aboard.

The Sudbury was buffeted and battered nearly every mile of the way. :
