WABHINGTON. (AP) - Demo- cratic victories in Tuesday's elec- 1 Lions gave Bepubl --us a Jolt and spurred Democratic hopes of re- capturing Congress next year and the White House in 1966. '

Blow To Party

Chairman Leonard W. Hall of the Raoulzilican. national committee frankly acknowledged that the louble-bar-relied Democratic tri- :mph in New Jersey, coupled with Democratic victories in New York :itY and Virginia. summed up as a blow to the party.

some Democratic leaders de- clared idiot the results constituted n. slap if not an outright repudia- tion of the Eisenhotyer administra- tion. ,

But I-lepubliciaris contended that local issues were paramount in host cases and tiiat little national iigniflcanoe was involved.

"It" looks as though the fruit of R-Ovllblican promises and perfor- inarioe is disatisfacticn. disillusion- ment and defeat."

Transport Case Opens Before Privy Council

By ARCH MAOKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, (OP)-The background of a Canadian transport dispute was outlined Wednesday to five lords of the judicial committee of the Privy Council.

At stake is the question of Whether the provinces or the fed- eral government control highway traffic crossing provincial and in- ternatlonal boundaries.

Three provinces . Ontario. Alb- erta and Prince Edward Island- have appealed in Supreme Court oi Canada ciocislon handed down in October. 1951. The ' ' upheld the principle of federal control. A second appeal, consolidated with ihe first. has been brought by a Maine bus Oompsny. tho Olmdlln Pacific Railway and Canadian Na- tional Railwaya and the ,fedea-si

government.

Nova Bcotla wants both appeals dismissed.

Legal arguments by 11 Queen's

counsel is expected to last two weeks or so. . The case arose from an injunc- tion brought against. the united States, - owned Macxenzie Coach Lines by a New Brunswick bus company called the s.M.'r. East- ern Ltd. The American transport firm had been granted permission in 1040 by the New Brunswick 30V- ernment to pan through the prov- ince on a run from Boston to Nova Bcctia. ,

The main point at issue, Ontario Attorney-General Dana Porter told the Privy Council is the extent of limitation on provincial legisla- tion for carriers seeking to use provincial highways as part of an intesprovincial service.

Only three of the 205 Chinese prisoners agreed to return to Red China. And one oi these was held back by Indian guards for 8. sanity hearing.

Queen "Asks. Regent Status For Husband

By RANALD Maol..URKIN LONDON, (Reuters)-The Queen, noting "the uncertainity of human

life," asked the House of Com- mons Wednesday to name her hus- band, the Duke of Edinburgh, to act as regent should necessity arise.

In event of the Queen's death or her inability to l'll1E, he would take her place until their son, five years old next week, is 18.

Uitdcr the existing Regency Act the Queen's sister. Princess Mar- SHl'et. would become regen-t. She would still assume that respon- sibility should the duke be pre- vented from fulfilling it.

The Queen, in it message to Parliament. asked for two other changes to be made so that:

1. Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, will be eligible for a seat on the council oi state which will 'act for the Queen when she and her hus- band leave for their tour of Aus- tralia and New Zealand later this month.

2. Prince Charles himself would be able to act as regent at the age of 18 if his mother by chance is then too infirm to rule.

Presenting Bill

This will correct an anomaly in the 193 Regency Act which pro- vides that though he can be king at 18 he cannot act as regent until he is 21. - ,

The last time Britain had a regent was in the early 1800s. when Prince George. latei- George IV, acted for his father, George III, through a long mental illness. In 1840 Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, was named reg- em, but she outlived him by many years. '

latest We May Speed Up Europeailrmy

WASHINGTON. (AP)- Presi- dent Eisenhcwer WednesdsY 5C' cused Russia oi repeatedly frusv irating United States and Allied efforts to "get to grips with the Sovlets" on major world issues.

The President gave that ex- pression of impatience at a press

conference in summing up his reaction to the latest Moscow message rebuffing a bid for a conference on Germany and Aus- iris.

Eisenhower said the Russians show no intention of meeting with the West but on the con- trsgy ”an intention to create as

many difficulties as poasiblas." Furthermore, he said, the Rus- sians have gone beyond merely rejecting a Big Three oropiqs-'11 PARIS, (AP)-Russia's fail- ure to accept the Western in- viiation to a conference ,on

However, officials said there is no decision yet on this point.

Anniher implication of the Pre- side-ntss statement is that his own and Dulles' opposition to a top-level meeting. as periodically suggested by Prime Minister Churchill, has been strengthened by evidence that the Russians just do not want to negotiate on anything at ihe moment.

This is in line with the belief of the President's advisers that due to a preoccupation with problems inside ihe Soviet Union and the wider Communist world. and perhaps for other reasons as wall. the Kremlin does not desire to take up big issues in serious negotiations at this time.

The blue jeeps. motors roaring, charged again.

Within an hour the city once more was calm. But tension re- mained high. Police made a number of arrests.

Riotera incensed

The attempt to hoist the flag came townrds the and of Italy's First. World War armistice day. It was also the 35th anniversary oi the entry of Italian tlrocps after the Second World War.

The rollers were incensed at the reaction of the British commander. Clan. Sir John Winterton. in con- flscatlng Italian tricolovrs that the defiant Italian mayor. Gianni Bartclii. had tried to raise over the town hall 'P1iekdny.

Allied authorities had banned Italian flags in all public build- ings in fear of an outbreak of violence in view of Italian eager- nem to see the Allies fulfil their promise of Oct. if to hand over ihe city of Trieste to Italy.

island Sheep Breeders Make.

Splendid Showing At Amherst

AMHERST, N.S., Nov. 4 --(Spec- ial)-A couple of Island sheep breeders almost completely stole the show here today at the Marl- time Winter Fair. Aimoii Boswell of Dunstaffnage and S. C. Stew- art and Son of Marshfield had the flocks that dominated the prize winning.

Stewart started it off in the morning with a clean sweep of all top places and all champion- ships in the Shnopshires. His main opposition came from Ernest. A. Falconer of Pictou, N.S. but it really didn't amount to much for the Marehfield man. The Stew- art's took seven firsts, four sec- onds, three thirds. four fourths, four fifths and two sixths. He took all of the top prizes eiocept one for a fleece and took all oi the championships.

Boswell had an even more im- pressive record picture in the Border Chevlots when he took every first place, most of the top three or four placings in many of the classes and all of the cham- pionsiilps. He took the top two prizes for fleece and all of the ten top prizes. His opponent was, John B. McNair, the former Premier of New Brunswick. Mr. Boswell is taking his Chariots to the Royal Winter Fair. Judge Garrett Chap- man of Waterloo, Quebec. was im- pressed by the Boswell Clieviots today. "The best lambs I ever

saw", he said of that class.

North Country Chevlots

Mr. McNair fared a little better in the North Country Cheviois but even at that he ran second to the Boswell entries. MbNsir won the class for female lambs, the one for slicariing rams and took the male championship. Boswell had all the other championships. both ' mare” and-' female. The .13- laiid showman also won all the

pen classes and was second to McNair in the class for fleece. The Siewarts also were top win-

ners in the Lcicesters. They took all the top prizes in these classes. Runners up were sheep (mm the Roweli Boswell Farm, Charlotte- town, R.R.3. The Stewart's have won some 5514 to date in the fair and tlieiy have some winnings to anticipate yet in the market classes. It is not a record for the fair but it is unusually high amount. George Callbeck of Bummeraide holds the record with over S600 in prizes in a single year with horses and foxes. The reizoccd was mania several years ago, Secretary R. F. Maccunii said tonight.
