shoulder its share of the cost. Pre- mier J. Walter Jones stated last evening following a meeting of the Executive council at which this matter was discussed.

The implementation of this pol- icy will require legislation, and it is possible that the House will be called into special session this Fall for the purpose oi enacting the necessary measul'es,.he acid- ed.

Dominion legislation has already been passed to enable Ottawa to share on a. 50-50 basis with the Provinces the coat of S40-a-month pensions on a. means test basis to the 65-89 age group. It is also authorized to continue to pay. un- der more liberal terms the cost of pensions to needy blind persons 21 and over.

Under the new programme, the Federal Government will pay pen- sions of 040 a month to all 70 and over. without a means test, pro- vided they have lived in Canada for at least 20 years. Acceptance of this policy by the Prince Ed- ward Island Government was an- nounced some time ago. It goes into effect on January 1st.

Two New Draggers For N. B..Fishing

I"R-EDERICTON. July 20 -(CP)- fnclustry and Development Minis- ter Hon. J. Andr: Doucet today announced that two new draggera have been added to Ncrl Bruns- wick's deep sea fishing fleets, and already have had successful trial runs.

one is the "Dorothy and Rosa- lie." designed by Eldridge Mclnnis Inc.. of Boston, Mau. and built by Connors Bros, Ltd., at Black's Harbor. This is a large type drag- ger designed for operations in deeper water and against the heavy tides of the Bay of Fundy.

The second dragger is ”Chaleur ll," launched at Caraquet early in June and designed by Provincial Fisheries Director I-I. J. Roblchaud. with the cooperation of Paulin 6:. Prioiet Construction Company, boat builders at Lower Caraquet.

Construction of the two boats is another step in the long term pro- gram to modernize and improve conditions in the fishing industry

of this Province. said Mr. Doucet.'

The new draggers have been built under the l"ishermcn's Loan Board Plan. ,

Canada's Pride Was Restored

OTTAWA. July 30 -(CP)-C.in- ada'a pride has been restored.

External Affairs headquarters reported today the United staies government has cbrrccted is state- ment that Canada is among count- ries which have been getting U S. aid since the war.

Canada, proud of her record of standing on her own feet. com-. plained recently when a list put out by officials in Washington in- cluded Canada among those count- lies getting help.

The whole thing, said a spokes- man, was a mistake. The mistake has been corrected, at the request of the Canadian Embassy in Wash- ington.

Siayinq P-rlivides New Crisis in Middle East

JERUSALEM. July 20- (AP)- King Abdullah of Jordan, a power inlthc war and peace coun- cils of the Arab world. was shot dead by an assassin today in the section of Jerusalem he brought under his away in war with Ia- racL

The Middle East. already in turmoil from oil and religious issues, thus faced a new crisis.

The 69-year-old monarch was slain at the holiest of the holy Moslem shrines within his realm. at the entrance to the imposing Mosque of Omar, an ancient pilc that raises its minaret: over the dome of the rock from which Koranic scripture says Moham- med rose to heaven on a white horse.

The assassin was killed on the spot by Abdullnh's bodyguard.

Informed British sources iden- tified the assassin as Mustafa Shakir and said he was a known terrorist who had contacts with the exile former Mufti of Jeru- salem, now living in Cairo.

Protege of Churchill

The vigorous, bearded king. five feet four inches tall. had been at odds with his Arab

neighbor monarchs from time to time over the years. Abdullali was a First-World-War ally of Lawrence of Arabia and a pro- tege of Winston Churchill on the checkerboard of Mid-East poli- tics.

0f Middle.Easi

LONDON, July 20 ., (Reuters) - The assassination of King Ab- dullah of Jordan may.underminc the precarious stability of the whole middle east.

The firmness of King Abdul-

lalrs administration. backed by the most efficient army in the middle east. the British-olficered Arab legion, has been generally recognized as a big factor in main- taining the uncertain armistice which followed the end oi the Palestine fighting oi 1048 and 949. The death of this strong ruler may unleash ambitions through- out the middle east for the effect- ive control of the "fertile crea- cent" states - Syria, Iraq and Jordan.

The assassination has disturbed the uneasy balance of power which has held Israel in a. delicate rela- tionship with the Arab states and the sparring forces in Syria. Iraq and Jordan which seek to domin- ate the fertile crescent.

The death of Jordan's king has also disturbed the balance of pow- cr between Egypt and the restiof the Arab world by removing the sole ruler who was prepared to

ST. LOUIS, July 20-(AP)-The muddy Missouri rammed its big- gest flood crest in more than I century to within a few miles of the swollen Mississippi tonight, leaving behind at least 27 dead and 31.000.000.000 in damages.

It battered down dike after dike as it co plated its paralyz- ing journey across the state from Kansas City, which suffered the heaviest blow from flood waters that poured down off the Kansas plains last week.

With its dike-smashing blows, the untameavble Misaouri flatten- , ed out for miles across the coun- tryside. At points it was five miles wide.

Its crest today passed 51. Char- les, Mo., the last town of any size between it and its juncture with the Mississippi, and was ex- pected to push the Mississippi up to 40 1-2' feet here by midnight Saturday. That would be the highest mark for the river since 1884.

Most of St. Louis, on high ground, was out of the flood dan- ger zone. But precautions were taken here against a water short- age and contamination of the supply.

LONDON. July 20 - (AP) - Admiral Forrest P. Sherman told British military leaders today of United states plans for air and naval bases in Spain. The people of Britain appear sharply divide on the issue. t

Both the Labor Government an the French, have denounced Gen- eraliseimo Franco's regime as Fas- cist. and strongly oppose any close American ties with Spain.

Much of the Conservative press. while branding Franco a dictator. has supported the American move. The Labor press opposes it.

The United states chief of nav- al operationa lunched with Lorri Pahenham, First Lord of the Ad- miralty, and British chiefs "of staff, ,

Then he and Admiral of the Fleet lord Fraser, the First sea Lord and Sherman's opposite num- bcr. began wide-ranging talks.

In Paris, the French foreign of- fice said Franco's shake-up of his cabinet does not alter France's opposition to American bases in Spain.

A spokesman said "we must wait and see" when asked whether he thinks the new Spanish cabinet will be more democratic. "Deeds will tell," he said.

M iiequesl .0f Communists

MUNSAN. Korea. July 21 (Saturday) AP) Crucial armistice conferences at Kaesong were recessed today until July 25 at the request of the Communistsl

.. ( m.

This following official announce- ment was released: I "The conferees recessed this

morning at 11:03 A. M. At 11:30 A.M. the conference reconvened. At 11:38 A. M. the meeting ended. Admiral'Joy stated. the Commun- '.st delegation asked for a recess until 25 July and Admiral Joy agreed to this request."

In Tokyo, General Headquarters distributed this official release and then asked that it be "killed."

A few minutes later. after con- siderable pressure from news cgencies, the kill order was lifted.

At 1:30 P.M., (11:30 P.M., EDT, Friday) there still was no explan- ation as to why the army had wanted to stop the release ari- nouncing the recess.

War or peace in Korea appar- ently had hinged on the meeting -- the eighth. The Communists had demanded agreement now on the question of withdrawing for- elgn troops from the peninsula.

The Allies went to Kaesong to- day with instructions that such an issue was political. and not in the province of military cease- fire talks.

In Tokyo, it was learned the re- quest to "kill" the story of the re- cess had come from Korea. A pub- lic information officer said gen- eral headquarters still was striv- ing to get an explan tion.

Asked by the ociated Press r to confirm that July 25 was the resumption date, the officer said: "That has been confirmed."

Today's armistice meeting got under way at Kacsong at 10 A.M. (8 P.M., EDT, Friday).

U. N, delegates arrived by heli- oopterlat the truce. city of Kaeaom; at 9:40 A. M. They entered the conference room at; 0:55 A.M. and two minutes later were followed by the Communist negotiators.

War or peace in Korea seemed to hinge on this one issue. The Communist; demand an agree- ment now on the question of ,wlthdl'gwi,ng foreign troops from fthe mountainous ravaged penin- l min.

P. E. I. Butter Production Figures Show Increase Despite General Decline

Although stocks of creamery butter in Canada are reported to be little more than one-half of the amount on hand last year, production in this Province snow- ed an increase in the past monlhd according to figures released ycs- terday by Mr. H. J. MacDonald. Provincial Dairy Superintendent.

Manufacture of cheese also showed a decided increase last month over June, 1950. with a jump of approximately 27 per- cent.

in June this year, 692,000 pounds of butter were produced against 68l.000pounds for the same month last yesr, an increase of about 1.6 percent. From January to the end of June this year the produc- tion of bultcr was 1.'f26,000 pounds in this Province. a decrease of 140,000 pounds, or approximately 8 percent.

This figure compares very fav-

. orably with figures given for New wBrunswick and Nova Scotia which

are as follows: N.B., June, 1951, decrease 9 percent; January to June, 1951. decrease of 21 percent. N.S., Julie. .1951, decrease 11 per- cent; January to June, 1951, de- crease of 18 percent.

The decrease for the entire Do- minion from January to June was 8,407,000 pounds or approximate- ly 7 percent.

Referring to the market for butter, Mr. MacDonald said it is quite steady at the present time, but that sale of prints had fallen considerably during the last two or three weeks. Price, however. had been well maintained.
