HELMSTFJDT. Germany, May 31 -(P)- Police reinforcements were rushed tonight to the tense East- ern borders, where thousands of homeward-trekking youths from Berlin's Ccmmunist rally encount- ered new hostilities.

A groupof returning west Ger- mans who crossed the iron curtain to hall Stalin in the Whitsun rally were set upon and their blue shlrts torn off by an anti-Commun- ist mob just outside this British- zone town late today.

The violence began night when several thousand anti- Comrnunlsts tangled with members of the Free German Youth (F D. .l.i. who were singing the ”In- ternatlonalc." and burned their blue shirts and flags.

At Imebeck. British-zone city in Schleswig-Holstein. a crowd tried to force its way through and stoned police.

The young West Germans who helped swell the ranks of 500.000 marchers in Berlin last week-end were met by hostile outbursts and police regulations all along the sovietaone border as they sought to return home. I

Up to 7.000 of the youths staged

a sit-down strike in a narrow no manls land opposite Lue-beck rather then comply with police regulations. They vowed they would remain there for eight days, if necessary. ' Police demanded that the march- ers register their names because they lacked interzonal passes. and that they undergo medical exam- lnetlons to show they had not con- tracted typhoid or some other communicable disease while living in their cramped Berlin camps

1-fearing reports that 10,000 more youths were expected at Due- becil. brad fearing another at- tempt to rush the border, Ham- burg and other large North Ger- man cities sent truckloads of pol- ice reinforcements.

Unofficial estimates said 4,000 police were .mustered along the

Tuosday .

Schleswig-Holstein border.

I. C. Soft Fruit Production Down

KELOWNA. B.C.. May 31 (CP) - Soft fruit production this year will amount to less than five per cent of last year's crop, it was reported here today by competent fruit authorities.

In the lsriculturel-rich 0luna- gan valley. chief centre of British Columbia's fruit-export indust.rv. hundreds upon hundreds. of peach; apricot and cherry orchards have. been winter-damaged. -

it was the worst winter in the history of the valley. The temper- ature dropped to 27 below zero anii hovered arond the 10-below mark for several weeks.

Hardy varieties of apples winter- ed well and it was a heavy blossnn. yeer for them. but less hardy groups showed damage.

Report May Be Ready By Late summer

OTTAWA, May :1 - (C?) .,s. year less a day from its opening. the Royal Commission inquiry in- to Canada's transportation pro- blems ended today.

With the completion of one of the longest and most compre- hensive investigations in Canada's history, the three-man body un- tier Hon. W. F. A. Turgeon now sets about drafting recommenda- l.l0llS that may bring about dras- tic changes in the Dominion's transportation picture.

While no time was indicated for compiling the report, the chair- man said that it would be done "in the fastest possible time con- sistent with thoroughness."

Commission sources refused to hazard a guess as to when the re- port might be brought down. but there appeared some likelihood it could be placed in the hands of the Government by late summer.

End of the protracted inquiry came on the commission's 137th day of public sittings. It was just a year ago tomorrow that the Commissioners opened hearings in Winnipeg.

Since then. they have visited every Provincial capital and some other major cities. They ended with a long series of sessions in Ottawa.

The closing session of the in- vcstigation saw a renewal of sev- eral of the issues which had been fought out earlier between the railways and some of the Prov- inces. Counsel for the Govern- ments of Alberta. Nova Scotia and

Market Improved for Remainder i . Of '49 Potatoes

OTTAWA, May Iii - (Speciall- Present indications are that the remainder of the 1949 potato crop of the Maritime Provinces will be disposed of at a fair price. I-1.1-l. l-fatfl-eld. Progressive Conservative member for Victoria-Carleton told The Guardian this afternoon.

"The market for 1049 potatoes has improved greatly within the past few days." Mr. Hatfield said. "It is now such that prices covzr the cost of production and thorn is hope it may improve still fur- ther."

The issue of potato prices arose from an answer to a question Mr l-l-atfield had placed on the House of Commons order paper askins what quantity of American potti- toes had been imported into Can- ada in 1949 and for the first four months oi 1950.

The official reply was that 1,966 L-wt. oi United states seed had been imported in 1949 and 324.906 cwt. oi table stock. In the first three months oi 1950 Canada inr- ported 1,850 cwt of U.s. seed and about 130,000 cwt of table stock.

"Imports of 11.8. new potatoes in April and March were much higher.".Mr. Hatfield said. "Totals for these two months reached 400 cars or about 160,000 cwt. in April and May a large number oi Cen- arilans bought imported potatoes regardless of price and forced down prices of" the Canadian 1940 crop. Now I am glad to say that the situation seems to be improv- lng. and I hope it will continue.”

Housewives in Central Canada have a practice of buying the new potatoes imported from Texas and Florida as a novelty in the spring. but more often than not come back to 1040 stock. They find that the new potatoes are "mushy" and

unsuitable for mashing.

MacNaught Questioned. On Nfld. Fish Surplus

Three Killed in Trailer Accident

ST. IGNACE. Mich.. May 31 - (AP) - A trailer loaded with coal broke loose today from its tractor and crushed to death three Can- adians in a passenger car.

Police identified the victims as Hillis Foster. 36. of Woodstock, 0111.. a woman they presumed to be his wife: and Wilbert I-lillis Foster. 68. of Granton. Onr.. whom police believe was the father of the younger man.

The passenger car was telescop- ed by the impact with the heavily-' loaded trailer. Bodies of the vic- tims were removed three hours later after the twisted wreckage was cut with aceteiyne torches.

Husband Kills Wife And Himself

BROCKWAY. Pa.. May 31 (AP) - Ina Wcilccher. 43. hid in terror today while her jealousy- crazed husband stalked her through their home with a deer rifle. Then he found her in the basement and killed her and him- self. Police Chief Steve Rendos said.

Chief Rendos told this story of

the shootings: Raymond Weilecher. 45-year-old Pennsylvania Railroad fireman.

said his wife was unfaithful. She denied it. So did friends and rela- tives. But a year-long quarrel followed.

The same argument began after breakfast today. Mrs. Weilechcr ordered her husband out of the house. He walked four miles to his parents' home. got his .30-30 deer rifle. and returned.

Mrs. Weilecher saw him coming up the road. She barricaded the doors and huddled in terror with their two daughters. Ronolda. 14, and Mrs. Jean Smith, 21.

They, tried to keep out of sight as the enraged man ran from window to window trying to peer in- at them. Then herkicked in the living room window.

The fear-stricken woman told her daughters to run to e neigh- bors and phone for help. Then she -ran out a side .door. and into the outside entrance to the base- ment.

The older daughter was phoning police when a shot was fired. She started back home. There was an- other shot. And another.

Mre. Weilecher's body was hud- died on the basement floor near the stairs. A trail of blood show- ed where she had tried to crawl after the first shot struck her in the Inca.

OTTAWA. May 341- (cm-.1. Watson MacNs.ught, parliamentary assistant to Fisheries Minister Mayhew. said today in the Com. mans that officials of the Fisher- lcs Department have gone to New. ioundland to obtain information on the size of the undisposecl sur- plus of the 1949 catch ofsalted codfish.

He was replying to Gordon Big- gins (PC-St. John's East), who asked if any decision had been arrived at on the disposal of the 1949 surplus.

Mr. MacNaught said the disposal was discussed last week-end with fisheries representatives from New- foundland, Nova Scotia and Que- hec. No decision could be reached because insufficient data on the surplus was, available.

There was some confusion as to the amount of the surplus. but he could say that it was considerable.

Mr. Higgins also asked if any decision has been reached on set- ting of a guaranteed price to fishermen for Newfoundland salt codfish for 1050.

Mr. MacNaught said he could do no more than repeat his state- ment of May 9. At. that time, he said that the world prices of salt- ed codfish had remained through 1049 above wartime levels, while

the prices of other primlry pro- ducts had some downward ad- justment.

The world supply of salt cod-

fish is still below the pre-war normal. and the people in the consuming countries are anxious to have this kind of diet. The going prices for 1950 will be de- termined by the output in other producing countries. and by the demand situation overseas during the year.

The Fisheries Prices Support Board has had and will continue to have this situation, as it may affect the Canadian salt fish trade. under the closest review. In the light of unfolding conditions and any needs that may later arise. the board will recommend to the government the course of action it believes the situation then re- quires.

It is anticipated that the New- foundla " survey will take from one to two weeks to complete.

WASlI'!ING'1ON. May 31 -(AP) -with President 'rrune.n's full backing. State Secretary Dean Acheson today called on the American people to support tho dovetailing of United states land, sea and air forces with those of Western Europe. That. he declar- ed. is the only way to match Rus- sia's growing might.

Acheson began his home-front battle for what he called "balanced collective forces" under the North Atlantic treaty in an extraordin- ary speech before a joint gather- ing of House of Representatives and Senate members.

Unique Occasion

Acheson went before the legislat- ors to report on his cold war strategy talks in London earlier this month, After the formal talk he submitted to questioning. and this mode the occasion unique. It was the first time a Secretary of State engaged in such glve-and- take with s iolnt session of Con- gress.

During the questioning some of his critics had their innings. Rep- resentative Walter Judd (Rep. M.inn.), a long-time foe of Admin- istration China policy, quizzed hlnf

MONTREAL. May 31 --iCP)- A judicial probe into big-city vice conditions was ordered today by Chief Justice 0. S. Tyndale of Superior Court who granted a petition charging corruption on the part of members of the civic administration and police force.

The probe. third in 35 years in- volving Montreal police. was set for Sept. 1 under Mr. Justice Francois Caron.

The inquiry was sparked by onetime vice-buster Pecifique (Pox) Piente who with Jean Dre- peeu, Montreal lawyer. presented an 1.100-word document i 00 members of City Council and the Police Force.

The document. much of it put together by Plente since he was fired two years ago for insubordin- etlon while assistant police direc- ior. contains 15,000 allegations of malfeasance. corruption and il- legal conduct. It charges that vice in Montreal was organized under protection of "constituted author- ity." Named in the document are J. O. Asselin. chairman of the city's executive committee. City Coun- cillors Alfred Filion. Richard Quinn and Edmond Hamelln. and
