Shortage 0f Grain Gargoes At Montreal

MONTREAL. Oct. 26 —(C7.P) - Port officials said there were tramp ships from many lands in Montreal today searching for grain cargoes but harbor facilities held little more than enough to fill two of them.

During the week-end port wheat stocks dropped to 450.000 bushels, whereas the harbors capacity is 15-000000 bushels.

One shipping official. who slid the lack of grain here was due to lack of transportation to bring it from the west, added that unless more grain reaches Montreal soon the sailings of some vessels may be delayed. Or the ships may go to other ports for cargoes. ‘

The process was first disclosed Saturday night when Premier Du- plessls told a Chamber of Ccm- merce banquet at nearby Iber- ville that he had just comr- from St. Johns, Qua, where he rad seen raw material converted into steel in a half hour. He said lt usually takes 24 hours to produce steel.

Expect 1,500 Plan In 1949

ter Howe, in his capacity as Acting Transport Minister, tonight announced a $300-a-pllot Govern- ment subsidy plan for the produc- tion of a grcaler flo\v of trained; pilots in. 1049.

The measure, he said in a state- ment, will be brought up for ap- proval at the next session cf Par- liament.

The pilot-producing program, to Department. will provide n straight grant of $100 to all approved flying clubs or schools for each qualified pilot turned ollt.

Another $100 will go to the piiot_ himself when he completes train-l lng and qualifies for a Transport Department private pilot's licence.

1n addition. if the pilot is accept- ed and joins the R. C. A. F. reserve or auxiliary. he'll get. another gift‘ of $100. ,

Mr. Howe said the Deparfmentl anticipates that some 1,500 persons will take advantage of the new scheme in 1949 at a cost to the Government of about $450,000.

He added: "Training of a large number of pilots will do more to foster and develop interest in civil aviation in Canada than any other comparable measure."

It would result in:

l. Greater use of Govern- ment airports and aerodromes by the public.

2. Development of airports

and ac-rodromes by private en-

terprise.
