ST. LOUIS, (AP)-The Pnst-Dls- patch quotes former president Harry Truman as feeling Russia's Premier Stalin had been "taken in" by his own poiitburb'a unsound reasoning that a double-cross in world affairs was in order.

The newspapers, in a copyright- ed story from Kansas City Tuesday reports that Truman suggested quick United States demobilization after the Second World War was one of the principal reasons for R.ussia”s change of attitude from the Potsdam meeting.

"Stalin assured us that he would carry out the Yalta agreement but it developed later he was a captive of the politburo.”

Bitter Wrangl

OTTAWA, (GP) -- The Com- mons defence committee wrangled for two hours Tuesday over wheth- er George Currie should be asked to make a wide study of Canada": defence program. But the statements of Liberal members left no doubt that the Opposition proposal for such an investigation will be rejected as it was earlier in the Commons. During the discussion. Percy Wright (CCF-Melfort) said his party has received correspondence indicating "a lot of things are go- ing on" in defence construction on the secret list which should be in- vestigated. He supported the Progreuive Conservative call for an investiga- tion of the Defence Department and said that if some such step is not taken "we may have to turn" the correspondence over to the police to get a proper inquiry. Later. he told a reporter the letters indicate "both extrvagance and dishonesty" in secret defence contracts and that his party plans eventually to turn them over to the RCMP for investigation. Liberal members challenged him to turn the letters over to the

Mountain and Kulahdin seed will be 52.10 per one hundred pounds bttlk graded stock at the farm. The new prices on tablestnck will be in conformity with New Brunswick priccs of s3.00 per bar-

it is hoped by Board officials that potato prices which had been steadily declining for the past month can be stabilized at this- basis, nnd. when market condi- tions bccomc brighter, an upwattl revision can then be ntadc. Al- most seven iitousnnd carinads have nlready been shipped. With movement conditions becoming more uncertain, due to weather flnll roads, it is stated there are still good reasons to belicvc thii further pessimism in the potato trade is not warranted.

Urge Reduction In Tariffs

Equipment

farmers in power equipment.

On the general tariff structure. the delegation complained that federal customs officials have de- clined to allow in many farm items free of duty, even though it was the intention of Parliament that these items of farm equip- ment and machinery be duty-free.

It suggested that the government clarify its tariff policy and exempt from the ll)-per-cent sales tax all farm machinery and equipment items allowed into Canada under the tariff free list.

The clash between the federa- tion and federal customs officials developed over interpretation of the tariff clause. This clause pro- vides free entry for "all other lig- ricultural implements or agricult- ural machincry not otherwise pro- vided for. and complete parts of all the foregoing..."

The. federation claimed customs onicials were placing too narrow an iriterptetaticn on this classm- catlon which. it suggested. should be expanded to include "attach- ments and acceuories".

The delegation asked for lower tariffs on steel slanchioris for live-
