are eu-bstsntiallylower than those paid similar skilled workers at the shipyards at Lauzon near Quebec City.

Thist was revealed in answers tabled in the House of Commons today by four Federal Govern- ment Departments in reply to questions asked on the subject by '1'. J. Kickhem, Liberal member for King's.

Comparative wages for six classes of workers at Charlotte- town and Quebec are given as follows: Fitters, Charlottetown 00 cents an hour. Lsuzon 01.20 to 3123 an hour; painters. Char- lottetown .90. Lauzon 31.15 to 31.18; carpenters, Charlottetown 00 to 05 cents. Lauzon. 81.03 to 81.06; patternmakers Charlotte- town 00 to as cents. Lsuzon, 31.30 to 81.30: laborers. Charlottetown 00 to '10 cents. Lauzon 8'! to 00 cents.

The return also shows that three government departments used three different methods of pay- ment to the Bruce Stewart Com- pany for shipping repairs. The Department of Transport had work done on the C G. S. Brant by straight tender. The Depart- ment of Defence Production awarded contracts for repairs to the minesweepers Malpeque and Wesiznount on a cost plus seven and a half per cent basis. The Department of Public Works had

. its ship repair work done by a

lump sum quotation.

Ships repaired by the Bruce Stewart Company for the Public Works Department were the dredge; "Pownall No. 2” and "No. 11'': the scows No. 162 and 163: the launch D.P.W.: and the tugs "Gelnlivet II'' and "Fredericton." In no case does the return give the amount involved in the re- pair job.

May Hasien Ilse of A-Bomb On Battlefield

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15 -(AP) -lPresident Truman joined other leaders today in branding the re- ported Communist slaughter of some 5,500 American prisoners of war in Korea as horrible.

Truman spoke out at his press conference at. Key West, F'la.. as shock waves of revulsion and ang- spread across the United States.

Some congress members called for swift atomic revenge against the Chinese Reds; others demand- ed to know why the story of the atrocity killings was kept secret so long.

Ehrpresslons of indignation and horror came from delegates to the United Nations General Assembly in Paris. coupled with demands for U. N. counter action.

Truman refused to say whether the reported murders would hasten the day when the A-bomb or other atomic weapons might be unleashed in Korea.

"It's a horrible thing." Truman said, "the most u civilized thing that has happene in the last century if the report is true."

Taken By Surprise

Both the Pentagon high com- mand and the State Department were clearly taken by surprise by the story as disclosed by Col. James M. Hanley. chief of the war crimes section of the U. S. 0th Army.

The story broke Wednesday at a press conference in Pusan. Korea.

Besieged by anxious calls from ,famiiies"iJf the 11,000 American troops listed as captured or miss- ing in action, the Pentagon asked Gen. Matthew B.tv:1tidgway, sup- reme Allied commander in the Far East. for "clarification." Ridg- way replied that he was investi- -Jating.

A Briton and an Irishman share the prize for physics. They are Sir John Cockcroft, 54. director of Brltalnis "Atomic City" at Har- well, and Professor E. T. S. Walton, 48. of Dublin's Trinity College.

They won the prize for their work as a team in 1932, when their experiments in splitting atomic nuclei with artificially-propelled bullets helped pave the way for the present status of atomic affairs.

Cockcroft was the wartime head of Canada's atomic energy project.

The chemistry prize was shared by two Americans - Dr. Gleen T. seaborg and Dr. Edward M. Mc- Millan. both of the University of California at Berkeley. They are co-discoverers of plutonium. a sub- stance that made it easier and cheaper to produce atomic bombs. McMillan's work made it possible to create cosmic rays in the labs- atcry.

Total production of fall and spring rye was placed at 18.000.- 000. Last year's figure was 13,300,- 000

The bureau snid part. of the wheat crop still is on prairie fields and the current estimate will be realized only "if the un- threshed part of the crops re- mains in responsbly good condi- tlon."

Fine Record Of island Veterans

OTTAWA. Nov. 15-(Special) - Prince Edward Island veterans with holdings under the Veterans Land Act have an excellent re- cord of operating and maintain- ing their payments on small holdings, farms and comme Lini fishing establishments. it was set forth in the Commons yesterday.
