British Seek To Keep Canal Open

CAIRO. Oct. 30 -(Reuters)- British sailors in Port Said toilcd hard today to keep a line of ships from all countries moving through the Suez Canal while Egyptian strikers watched and jeered from the dockside.

The navy men dispatched the first southbound daylight convoy through the waterway on sched- ule in a new plan to heat the strikers' refusal to provide canal lights for shipping.

Troops of the Cheshire Regiment were ordered into the port to open the Raswab road and rail bridge which Egyptian authorities re- fused to work.

Along the canal Egyptian pro- pagandlsts distributed leaflets ordering Egyptian workers to "stop co-operation with all Brit- ish dogs" and asking Egyptian contractors to "stop supplying

Deadly Beauty Dropped From High Altitude

By Bill Becker

LAS VEGAS. Nev.. Oct. 30 -(AP) Another atomic bomb flashed in the desert against a. bright dawn today and gave observers a man- made display of fireworks that rivalled the aurora borealis.

The deadly beauty was dropped by an air force B-29 from an ex- tremely higb altitude, probably 30,000 feet above the floor of the Yucca Flat. test site.

The reaction that followed the rising mushroom and the great cloud provided a display of colors ranging from gray and brown to royal purple and baby pink.

This third and largest detona- tion in the present series of tests by the Atomic Energy Commission was witnessed by hundreds of mil- itary observers and at least five wide-eyed congressmen. Troops were not involved in the operation.

Final Tuneup?

It was believed that today's at- omic display was perhaps the final tune-iip before army manoeuvres which will test with ground troops the tactical capabilities of small atomic weapons.

There was a phenomenal double- action burst as the large atomic bomb let loose today with brilliance resembling an exploding sun. The blast waves rolled over the desert and shook Henderson. Nev.. 95 miles distant. No shock was felt here although it is 20 miles nearer the site. ,

The great burst came at 30

OTTAWA, Oct. 30-(Special)-In the House of Commons yesterday, '1'. J. Klckbam. Liberal member for Klng's.exprcssed the hope that the decision of the Transport Board last September 15 on Prince Ed- ward Island freight rates will be reaffirmed when the case is heard for a second time.

He urged supplementary increas- es for rural msfl couriers in the Province on a basis similar to those in effect between 1946 and 1949. Also seeking more adequate reward for work in Prince Edward Island. he asked the government to establish standard minimum rates of pay for labor on govern- ment contracts. to apply to all Provinces. While exoneratlng the Post Office Department from blame in the matter, Mr. Kick ism com- plained that rural mall couriers today are not being fairly paid.

Makes Strong Plea On Behalf Of Mail Couriers & Worlimen

for delivery of rural mail to secure better terms, the King's member said. While he has the right to

rminate his contract on three montbs' notice if he is not satis- fied with its terms. his investment in equipment has already been made, and he does not like to take any risk of losing the contract.

"I have come to the conclusion." ht: said. "that the re-establishment of supplementary increases such at: were granted between 1946 and March 1949 would provide at least a temporary measure of relief. At present. mail couriers engaged for less than 81.000 may apply for supplementary increases and this group represents approximately 70 percent of the couriers."

Alike, the hulllent habltants and the ' ' demonstrative other races of this bilingual metropolis turned out in the hundreds of thousands to voice their welcome for the rltoysl Couple.

It was a question of whether the petite Princess and her big blond consort took this biggest Cana- dian city, as they have done else- where, or whether the city esp- tursd them. For the reception was breath-taking. as in Canada only the masses of the 1,500,000 popu- lation of Montreal can make it. Unofficial estimates were at least that number saw the smiling Royal Pair on a 40-mile proces- slon through the streets, with the home folks bolstered by tens of thouunds swarming in from other parts of Quebec and from nearby united states points.

Whether or not their numbers exceeded the huge turnout at Toronto about a. fortnight ago probably will never be settled. But certainly Montreal. where the

In a judgment given in the Su- preme Court yesterday Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell ruled that the City of Charlottetown has been without a Mayor since the election of Mr. B. Earle Mac- Donald to the Legislative Assem- bly on May 4. and ordered that a writ of mandamus be isued com- manding the holding of a by-elec- tion to fill the vacancy without. further delay, the costs of the applicant for the writ to be paid by the City of Charlottetown.

Following is the full text of Chief Justice Campbell's judg- mcnl:

This is an application by Mr. M. Alban Farmer for the issuing of a prerogative Writ of Man- damus to command the Council- ions of the City of Charlottetown and the City Clerk of the said City to proceed with the holding of an election to fill a vacancy alleged to have arisen in the office of Mayor of the City. The applicant first commenced proceedings by a Writ of Summons and Statement. of Claim (No. 7361) in an action in which the applicant was Plain- tlff and the City Councillors and City Clerk were Defendants. Counsel for both side: later considered. I think wisely. that it was doubtful whether Mr. Farm- er. as an elector of the City of Charlottetown. had such it "per- sonal interest" in the duty al- leged as would enable him to oiblaiin a Mandamus in an action under the provisions of Order 53 of the Rules of Court. It was therefore agreed that the action should be' discontinued. or at least held in suspense. and that the issue involved should be brought before the Court by a direct application for the prerog- ative Writ of Mandamus. on the Applicant's an originating summons was is- sued and served upon the City Councillors, the City Clerk. Mr. B. Earle MacDonald. and the Attorney-General. On the hear- ing, the City Councillors and the City Clerk were officially repre- sented by counsel, who formally argued against the granting of the Writ. though expressly inclined

Aiiiedmlempers Wear Thin Al Truce Taiiis'

MUNSAN. Korea. Oct. 31 - (Wednesday) - (AP) - The Un- ited Nations command took an un- yielding stand today for a ”shock absorber" zone in front of the main U. N. defence lines as the price of a cease-fire in Korea. -

Allied tempers were wearing thin after six fruitless sub-committee sessions failed to solve the issue of a buffer zone between the oppos- ing armies.

A seventh meeting of two Allied and two Communist delegates was scheduled for It A.M. today (ii

P M. Wednesday EST) at Pan- munjom. After Wednesday's three-hour

session brought no progress, the U N. command said in s commun- ique: "

"The Communist members refused to modify their demarca- tion llne proposal which would strip the United Nations com- mand forces of advanced and hard- iron positions. essential for their protection during a military arm- istlce."

Tour Arous;sT British Interest in Canada

(By Alan Harvey LONDON. Oct. Iify-(CF)-The royal tour has nroused grcnter

British interest in Canada than any single event of recent years. Space-short British newspap- ers. sometimes smaller in size than the sports section of a Can- adian paper. have made the ris- its of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh on occas- ion for special feature articles on Canadian life. Editorial comment has been generous. sometimes ecstatic.

Correspondent columns ofweck- ly magazines carrying pictorial features on Canada have been full of letters from persons about to emigrate. or who-knew-Cansdir when. The London offices of Can- adian newspapers and agencies have had inquiries from aehool- children about the possibility of obtaining "pen pals".

Press Comment

Typical of press comments is an editorial in, The Times today describing the Canadian west as comprising the greatest open spaces. excluding deserts. which now exist.

"No lands in the world hold more of latent promise than then." says The Times. "Their possibilities of development are limitless, and when realized may away the balance of social pro- gress for the British Common- wealth. for North America. and, indeed. for the whole world."
