molly uncontested choice of I Speaker.

The Conservatives won, electing William S. Morrison, 58-year-old bagpipe-playing Scotsman over the Labor candidate, Maj. James Milner. The vote was 318 to 251.

Not since 1395 had there been a fight over the election of 11 speak- er. The affair usually is settled in genilemanly discussion before- hand betwecn government and opposition.

But today there was a peppery debate in which Ciiurehill and Labor leader Clement Attlee, in their exchanged roles of govern- ment and opposition leaders. came into conflict.

Charges Agrcgment Broken

Churchill charged Labor with backing down on an agreement to elect Morrison without opposition. But Attlee, re-elected today to lead Labor in the house. denied committing his party. He said after consulting with his colleagues he was instructed to submit the name of Milner. or, as second choice that of Sir Charles Macandrew, a Scottish Conservative.

Liberal lcadcr Clement. Davies proposed that the house put off a

MUNSAN. Korea. Nov. 1- tmuraday) - (AP) - Allied and Communist truce negotiators to- day drew closer to agreement than ever before on a buffer zone across Korea, but the status of Rod-held Ksesong blocked speedy settlement of this issue.

The Communists made a major concession Wednesday. abandoning demands for a line from five to is miles south of the bsttleline. They proposed ti buffer zone which approached that asked by the Allies.

But the Reds wanted to keel) Kusong, site of the futile first cease-fire talks. The United Na- tion: command conside ed Kle- gong essential to guard the mill- ury approaches to Seoul. :4 air miles to the southeast.

Careful Study Of legislation is Sugggsled

QUEBEC, Oct. 31 - (CP) - The Canadian Chamber of Commerce today asked the government to take no present action on its pro- posed.iegislation concerning resale price maintenance.

It urged that the government "exercise restraint" until the cham- ber can obtain the views of its 700 member boards of trade and cham- ber across the country; and that, in any event, no action be taken at this session of parliament.

The resolution brought the most prolonged debate of the current three-day annual meeting. in an afternoon session which saw the chamber pass a large number of other resolutions and policy dec- larations.

The proposed legislation would bar manufacturers from naming the price at which their, produes should be sold by retail stores

R.J. Prettle of Port Arthur. Oiit., wanted the resolution to ask the government to wait until "the pub- lic" had time to consider the im- plications of the legislation.

Confused Idea

Several speakers said the uublic confuses the idea of a producer naming the price at which his own particular product should be sold. with the idea of a group of pro- eiucers "combining" to fix prices. They said competition among pro- ducers prevented any of them from fixing an unduly high price.

S.C. Atkinson of Regina said "nothing could be further from the truth" than the statement that resale price maintenance by in- dividual producers is a ”monopol- istic practice." He said the better known a product is, the more likely it is to be tsqueezed” on its

Announcement of the shift is ex- pected to be made shortly, after cabinet approval.

Mr...MacDonaicl. who attended ti meeting of the company director yesterday. said the plans for the new boat have been completed and will be submitted very shortly to the Canadian Maritime Commis- sion. He expressed the belief that in view of the urgent necessity for increased accommodation, the Com- mission will give their approval.

Capt. 0.11.. Hunter will attend the meetings of the Commission as a representative of the comp- any. If the plans are app.oved. construction will proceed exped- itiously. Mr. MacDonald quoted of- ficials of the Plctou Foundry, who have submitted tenders for the construction. as tifating that they

These include arrangements for the. exchange of prisoners. truce supervision of areas behind the opposing armies and recommend- ations for the ultimate withdraw- al of foreign troops from Korea.

After a week of fruitless talk, the Cornrnunisis broke the log- jam on the buffer issue Wednes- day by abruptly making a ”flnal" buffer proposal.

They said it was their best of- fer. U. N. officers agreed that it was-up to the moment.

Air Force Col. Andrew .1. Ken- ney. the chief U. N. liaison officer told correspondents the new Red proposals was the "biggest. step I've seen toward ending the buf- fer zone quIrrel."t

Mr. MacDonald said his comp- any is still keen to proceed with the transportation of coal from Mabou to Georgetown where it is planned to erect .. screening plant e.i:ti facilities for the storage of bunker conl. ' ,

A certain amount of dredging is necessary at Maboii and it is hop- ed that this will be done next spring. The company, he said. al- ready have the barges to carry the coal.

Near Tragedy Marks End Of Princess” Visit To Montreal

....m

By Ken Kelly MONTREAL, Oct. 31 -(CP) - The fall of a three-foot-square concrete block almost caused a tragedy today an hour before Princess Elizabeth and the Duke

of Edinburgh left by plane for Washington. The huge block tumbled two

storeys from above the entrance to

the Queen Mary Veterans Hos- pital, landing on a spot where the Princess and the Duke had

been standing a minute before.

The Royal Couple, concluding a three-day visit to Montreal. had paid 3. 28-minute call at the hos- pital en route to Dorval Airport.

There was no suggestion of sab- otage.

Dr. Jules Mercler, superintend- ent of the hospital, said the com- ent was loosened by wind and water. A high wind was blowing at the time.

The chunk of concrete formed part of a. triangular ornamental design above the high doorway isnd part of the front of the build- n .

g. On the heavy base is the name of the hospital. At the apex is a cross. At each side of the base are ornamental pieces. All had card- board, shield-shaped designs of the Union Jack wired to them. Several hundred persons wit- nessed the near-tragedy. Chunks of concrete were sprayed against the sides of automobiles in the royal motorcade which was leaving the

hospital. Staff Sgt. John Morris, on guard duty at the hospital, suf-

fered leg and arm injuries and Donut Blair, a hospital employee. suffered chest bruises when struck by small bits of concrete.

The Princess and the Duke were scheduled to pay a half-hour call with the veterans. But. their mot- orcade was seven minutes late leaving the Windsor Hotel where 25.000 crowded into Dominion Square to wave them farewell.

Crowds lining the streets nion-3 the route to the hospital were the thinnest since the royal party ar- rived Monday. A light. rain fell until noon when the royal party left the hotel. The wind was strong and blew decorations down all over the city.

The Princess were the same red coat she had on in Ottawa. and a black hat. The Duke wore a blue coat and carried his hat.

The Royal Couple paused brief- ly for photographers on the verandah of the hospital when they completed their visit.

The car pulled away from the door less than a minute after the stone fell. scattering a group of nurses. police and hospital offic- ials. The Royal Couple probably was unaware what had happened.

AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31 -lCPl- A happy. care-frcc Washington to- day welcomed Canada's Prince and Princess.

Thousands of government work- ers lined the route of the Royal Couple from the illl'Db:'l: 'nto the capitals heart, cheering and ap- plauding them as they drove by.

President Truman welcome: Princess Elizabeth to the U. S. by saying:

"Margaret tells me that rheu- ever anyone becomes acquainted with you they immediately fall in love with you."

The words weren't in Truman's prepared remarks. t

But judging by the way he and

the 550,000 persons acted who turned out to greet the Princess and the Duke of Edinburgh they pretty well filled the bill.

The President. Mrs. Truman and daughter Margaret were walt- ing for the Princess when she came down the ramp from the air- plane which had brought her from Montreal. Behind her came Prince

Urges eovi To Knock Down Tariff Walls

OTTAWA, Oct. 31 - 'CP) - A front-bench Liberal member, charg- ing that monopolies are rampant in Canada. urged the government today to knock down the tariff walls and let competitive, loiv-pric- ed American goods into the Can- adinn market.

Offering that as the govern- ments best weapon against high prices, A. Wesley Stuart told an intent commons that he could see no reason why Canadians shoulci pay twice what Americans do for manufactured products, especially when the same companies made

tries.

Applauded by members of all sides of the house, the 49-year-old member for the New Brunswick; riding of Charlotte suggested at three-months suspension of tariffsi against American imports and pre-l dictcd that the cost of living would drop "many points" if that was' done. , He said that Canada is "thlck"l with monopolies and cited the' auto- mobile industry ss "the greatest monopoly of them all." That. he said, was a "fact"; everyone knew it

Canada's automobile industry could produce as cheaply as did its American counterpart if it was, forced to.

He mentioned toothpaste, electric toasters, refrigerators, washi'n:.' machines and other manufactured goods as examples of commodities which cost twice as much in Can- ada as they did in the U. 5.

He would like. he said. to see the manitfacturers called before a com- mons committce to justify the dif- ferenlial.

And he asked the rest of the house to join him in seeing what could be done "to put these mon- opolistic organizations in their place."
