Could Mean Meat Disaster

iiioN'rit.inAI-. Feb. 8 - (GP) - Foot and mouth disease in West- ern Cnnntln could mean disaster for Quebec farmers and meat deal- ers. agricultural sources said Tiles-

day.

They said hog dealers and breed- ers would likely be the hardest hit but the effect on retail prices of meat is unpredictable. That would depend an extent of the outbreak. the number of cattle that would have to be slaughtered and the leizgiii of an embargo imposed by United states authorities.

Hog dealers hoped that with no indication the disease had spread to Eastern Canada, U.s. authorit- ies could be persuaded to lift the embargo on meat and livestock from this part. of the country.

Of Maritimes

OTTAWA, Feb. 29 -(CP)- A request for federal aid to speed -' velopment of the Maritime Provinces was placed today before the Federal Government.

E.W. George. 43-year-old Lib- eral member for the New Bruns- wick constituency of westmorland. said in the Ccxnmona that the Fed- eral Government should take the initiative in the development of power and navigation projects in the Marltimes. The projects could be considered an extension or the St. Lawrence Seaway principle to the Maritime .area.

Mr. George spoke in moving the traditional motion for adoption of. an address in reply to the speech from the Throne. read Thursday at the opening of the new session.

The motion was seconded by An- dre Gauthier, 3'1-year-old lawyer- member for the Quebec constitu- ency of Lao St. Jean. Mr. Gauthier, speaking in French and briefly in English, congratulated the govern- ment for selecting Rt. Hon. Vin- cent Massey as Canada's first native-born governor-general. '

"The whole of Canada rejoices at the well-deserved honor that has just been conferred on our il-

lustrious compatriot.” said Mr. Gauthier. The two speeches cleared the

Warns of Threat from Diesel Oil

HALIFAX. Feb. 29 --(or) - A. .1. Mason (L-Cumberland Centre) told the Nova scotia Legislature today too few people in the prov-

ince realirs "the threat to our coal industry in the conversion from coal to oil-particularly diesel oil."

The railways had placed orders for the delivery of 112 diesel eng- ines in 1952. It must be "obvious to most of us that before many years. the steam locomotive as we know it iodiiy will be a thing of the past." said Mr. Mason.

it was imperative that the Nova Scotla coal industry make further efforts in research that "will suc- cessfully develop and bring into reality the production of gas a-nd synthetic fuels on a competitive basis with petroleum."

Paul lleynaud To Head Trench Gov't

PARIB. Feb. 20 - (APT - War- time premier Paul Reynaud. a firm backer of western defence plans agreed tonight to try to form a government to replace that of the retiring Edgar Faure.

President Vincent Aurlol sum- moned Reynaud to take over lead- ershlp of a fight for military strength and economic solvency that split the national assembly early today.

A deputy of the right-wing In- dependent Republicans and holder of several ministries in the past.' Rcynaud had made a speech in London on .the proposed unified European army when he received the call from Aurlol.

Reynaud was at the French helm during the disastrous early months of the Second World war. Marshal Petsln succeeded him.

Estimated T0 Crew Members Also log

HALIFAX. Feb. 29 -(OP)-The angry Atlantic held the secret to- night to the disappearance of three small fishing boats and an estim- ated 10 crew members.

Search planes today scoured the coastal areas. now back to almost. normal after the worst blizzard of the winter. without finding a trace of the missing vesliels.

Elsewhere, life was returning to normal after a. hectic period of distress on land, sea and in the air as a result of the storm which blew in over the Maritime: with full fury Wednesday night and lasted through most of Thursday.

The three overdue vessels were the Idella. Theta. out of Lockeport. N. 3.. and the Irma and Roger and Little Clive, out of Port La Tour.

The search was started when the craft failed to return after being caught on the fishing banks in the midst of the snow and wind storm.

The storm itself was a resound- ing end to the snowiest February since i918. The latest series oi stonns alone dumped 35.4 inches of snow in the Halifax area. the fifth heaviest fall for the month in the 79 years records have been kept.

At Sydney, N. S-. 10 United States airmen who lived to tell of their escape from the storm's fury after parachutlng from their plane in the midst of the blizzard. left for their destinations.

Fourteen continued on to Tor- hay. Nfld.. while the four crew members returned to the United states. They presumably will at- tend a. court of inquiry into the loss of the C-47 which crashed not far -from the survivors after all aboard had bailed out.

Others too. escaped the storms grasp. Four men were plucked off a dragger off Yarmouth. N. S.. by a oool-nerved rescue skipper who brought his craft close enough to enable the survivors to leap from their disabled vessel.

Two elderly men, one in New Brunswick and one in Nova Scelia. died of over exertion and heart attack after trying to walk along drift-filled roads.

Snow is forecast for most of the Marltimes tomorrow as a result of a. milder storm moving up from the Mississippi Valley but clear weather will come Sunday.

MUNSAN, Korea, March 1- (Satuniay)-(AP)- Korean arm- istice negotiations reached their most critical impasse in seven months Friday when a. high-level United Nations command " barring Russia as I neutral truce inspector was Communists.

Angrlly the Communists de- manded that the Allies withdraw their statement and accused the U.N. command of "an unreason- able", arbitrary and aloof attitude"

U.N. negotiators informed the Reds that "under no circumstances will there be a change in the de-

claim." The Allies also announced there was no" possibility they would

abandon their stand against forc- ing prisoners to return to the Communist side if they did not want to go back.

In this unyielding frame of mind Allied negotiators prepared to go to Panmunjom once more today tor a. staff offlcers' session on truce supervision and a meeting on prisoner-exchange by a sub- committee of the main armistice delegation. Both meetings were scheduled for' 11 a. m. (9 p. in. 219T Friday).

(Reuters news agency quoted Admiral Charles Turner Joy, chief U.N. delegate. as saying that a quick armistice could only be se- cured ii the Allies make a strong thrust into North Korea.

Easing of the winter's worst onerday storm gave all agencies of snow clearing an opportunity to attack the huge drifts which had clogged all highways 'and rail lines since Thursday morning.

200 Cattle

REGINA, Feb. 29-(CP) --Two hundred . diseased cattle were herded into a burial pit just. out,- side Regina today. Then R. C. M. P. constables armed with .303- callbro rifles shot them.

The slaughtering was the first in the drive to rid the Regina area of animals suffering from foot-and-mouth disease. Within the next few days 850 more will be killed at other sites.

The scene of the first slaughter was both chilling and eerie. Bit- ing winda swept across the snow- covered prairie land from the cast. it was 14 below zero at B a.m. when Federal veterinarians, prairie farm rehabilitation ad- ministration officials. stock men. photographers and newspaper men reached the site.

The humans standing about added their eerie touch. Each was dressed in rubber coat and boots and aou'weater-type rain hat. Most of the newspaper men had borrowed their garb from The Regina police and fire depart- menu.

The burial trench on the farm of Konatantina Haun was aoo feet long. 35 feet wide and 10 feet

U. N. Delivers Note To Reds Barring Russia As Neutral Truce Inspector

(It was either that, at the cost of heavy casualties, or unwelcome concessions at the conference table. Reuters quoted him as say- ing in an interview).

Brig.-Gen. William Nuckols. U. N. command spokesman. said the decision to bar Russia from parti- cipation as a neutral came from "very-high military levels."

The U.N. spokesman said the Allied stand against Russia was "the strongest since last July." it was then that the U.N. command warned there would be a break- down in negotiations ii the Reds insisted on the 38th parallel as a cease-fire demarcation line. The Reds yielded.

The U.N. has accepted Poland and Czechoslovakia, two other Red nominations to the six-country neutral mission. The Allies nominated Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

In the prisoner-exchange talks in Panmunjom, the Communists asked the U.N. again to pledge the return of any foreign nationals in- terned in South Korea.

Rear Admiral R..E. Libby re- plied that only a young Russian mother and her 20-year-old daughter were in protective cus- tody and that Soviet diplomatic authorities have been properly notified.

Army sources said the young woman and her infant daughter were picked up by south Korean

QUEBEC. Feb. 29 --(cpl - Quebec today imposed a drastic embargo on livestock and meat that will cut down importation

Premier Duplessls announced the measure. adopted by the pro- vincial cabinet yesterday and signed by the Quebec lieutenant- governor today, at a press confer- ence.

The embargo. result of an out- break of contagious foot-and- mouth disease in snskatcliewan. applies to all Canadian provinces.

Premier Duplessis said the meas- ure was necessary to protect Que- bec's livestock industry.

The premier said experts told the government it was not possible at the moment to estimate accur- ately the extent of the outbreal: of the disease.

"When warm weather comes. when contacts between animals are more frequent and flics--pos- sible disease carriers-come out. it will be easier to determine the ex- tent of the disease and its prob- able duration." said the premier.

This apparently means the gov- ernnient intends to keep the em- bargo in force for some time.

The order-in-council decreelng the embargo says a certificate will be needed from Queb:c's veterin- arian in chief before any person. society or corporation may import livestock. meat or animal skins from any Canadian province.

Police are authorized to seize any livestock or meat brought into Quebec province without a certific- ate from chief veterinarian or from an officer appointed by him.

The embargo applies to horses cattle. sheep. ate and pork. and the meat and gin from these ani- mals.

A high government official es- timated imports on meat from WCSTJITPOITIQGA Would be out by

Court A. E. Arsenault who himself served as the Administrator for several weeks in l932. At. that time Chief Justice Mathieson, who nor- mally would have been in the of- fice. was not available.
