PARIS. May A - (Friday) - Premler Poul Itamndler wlll bsk the French Notional As- ‘ sernbly today for a vote of confidence and if the vote goes against him he will re- sign. it was officially announ- ced this morning. '-

Rebel M. Pfis Call For Break With Churchill

(By Fraser Wlghtnn) LONDON, May 1- (Restau-

n- Demsnds that the British 000$-

ment should "have no truck with Churchl-ll" in its foreign policy and that it should seek indepen- dence from the United States were included in s manifesto published tonight by 15 rsnk-and-flie Lab- or members of Parliament.

Listing 20 “things the Govern- ment should do now," the meni- festo further demanded that Bri- tain's Labor leaders should "kill the Tory idea of bolstering up the British Empire with Amerrcan dollars and fighting America's battle with British soldiers."

The l6 MP1: were headed by 11.8.8. Grumman. leader of the original Labor Melts-policy re- volt lut autumn.

The manifesto called for “one world, not hostile blocs," demand- jng close collaboration with the Iritiah Oonunonwnth and with France to that end.

The group thinks that Commun- hrn should be oppoled "not by ellying ourselves with reaction- ary forces. but by helping to put someth better in its blade,"

They eel that Britain abould elm to dwo the Anglo-French alliance and elp develop u. lec- urity mum under the ‘United

e-a system "which is toas- blc only when our independence of America is realised."

‘To: this purpose we should ro- nounce staff conversations with non-Iuroposn powers. renounce

the manufacture of the atomic

bomb and submit at once to Un- ited Nati-ons inspection."

On the question of Middle lllust oil, the ,M.P.’s felt‘ that Britain should take the initiative by an- nouncing a timetable for a w.:h- drswal from Greece, Palestine and Egypt. and by proposing that. defence of the Dardacielles and Suez should be a United Nations responsibility.

They further suggested that Britain should begin discussions for an oil agreement among Bri- tain. France. Eussig and the Cn- ltadistster, which need oil. and the Middle Eastern states which produce it.

The group recommended con- centration on African colonial de- velopment and “continuation of the good work in India. Burma. and Malaya" towprds their speed- iest independence, "so that our tmds relations can expand with free and friendly peoples."

Among the domestic demands of the manifesto were these:

Over-Ill economic pllmlpg. with s high-level minister. free from all other duties. in supame charge. , ' -

Harps-union of British Common- wealth trade relationships.

Reduction of luxury imports and rationing of "had-currency" to- bacco (tobacco purchased with dollars).

Importation of foreign workers only for ready-made Jobs.

Reduction of Britain's armed

forces by 040.000 instead of S40.- 000 by March of next year.

Following reports by the seven divlbions, collections in the City this week amounted to $3.764, which was 150 per cent of the objective set.

All Telegraph Wires Leaving Province ilown

Telephone Lines Also Feel Effects 0f Storm

Yesterdays rain storm. in addi. tlon to keeping lobster fishermen ashore, caused trouble for tele- phone and telegraph men, [cg formkig on the wires put num- bers of telephone lines out o: service, particularly in Pr-lice County. and about 8 o'clock inst night ziisrupted telegraphic com- munications with the mainland.

Apparently the ice formed on wires in larger quantities in Prince County as telephone com- munications was-t of Summcrgidg were disrupted before dark. At that time the ice was falling trom trees and wires in the Charlotte- town area but the temperature was still freezing in Prince County. '

Long tlistance telephone lines to the mainland remained in opera- tion. Reports indicated heavy

rain fall in Nova Scotia amid New Brunswick but apparently the tem- perature was higher and no ice formed on wiles.

Canadian National ‘Iclographs officials said that repairs to their lines could not be made until this morning.

Rainfall in the 24 hours up to 8.30 last night totalled 1.62 inches, it was learned from Mr. Warren Burns, weather observer at the Charlottetown Experimental Sta- tion. And of that amount 1.48 fell May 1. '

Looking back over the past four months. Mr. Bums said that ore- cipi-ilatlon deficit which had been carried over from last year mid been corrected to some extent although it was still below aver- age. In the first four months of this year tioial precipitation amounted to 12.86 inches The 36- ycar average for the same months is 13.48 inches.

Weather Statistics The following weaiilcr statistics

for April were released last night: 1947 1940

was the highest recorded for April in the last 36 years. The next highest was April. 1987, which had 201.1 hours.

There was nothing unusual about the temperature in April this year. The lowest mean lem- perature recorded in the past S6 years was 32.6, a mark set in 1914 and repeated again in 1926. The highest mean temperature w-as 42.5 in 1910.

But. one of the things that made this April cold, even cooler than the thermometer indicated. was the amount of cold northwest wind. Mr_ Bums said that oi the 720 hours in the month, the wind blew from the northwest for 407 hours.

Synod Adopts Resolution By Local Minister

HALIFAX. May 1 - A resolution which would send resolutions “hav- ing relation to public affairs" to wmmilife bBIOFe action was taken on them by the Anglican synod of Nova Scottie. was passed by the Synod todiay after members dis- cussed the right of the Church to take a. stand in public matters.

The motion. introduced by Rev. J.T. Ibbott of Charlottetown, had the object of avoiding too hasty action on such resolutions where there was insufficient knowledge of all facts or when the Synod might be subject to influence throuoh evmpathz»: Some or the Mosaics took Mr. Ibboirs motion as rib-acted against a resolution Poised by the Synod Tuesday call- ing on the govennntent to set up a tripartite committee to study the current Maritime coal strike while work was resumed for a thrce-iweek trial period under continued sub- sidies to operators.

To a suggestion that passage of such a resolution might make tlic Church look ridiculous. Rev. Wil- lfum M. Bishop o! Halifax replied that "it doesn't matter whether the Ohinch draws criticism or not. or whether it looks ridiculous. It is the place of the Church to choose

to stand by the right."

Kills Four.

HUNHNGDON‘. Pa, May l- fAPb-Thivo huge steel plates jui- ting from a freight train ripped like s giant can opener inio a passing Pennsylvania Railroad flier early today, killing four oss- sengers and injuring 4o others.

A stream of sparks lit the claik- ness as the steel tore into the first coach of the lb-car New York-to-St. Louis passenger tram, the American.

The crash at 2:47 a.m_ EDT Jolt- ed the steel on to another track and derailed a. third train. a freight travelling in the opposite direction. A railroad spokesman said the three-train wreck was "most unusual." ‘

Hours after ihe crash, Coroner Blair Shore said the death toll probably would rise, noting that "some of those taken to hospitals were badly mangled."

The casualty list included these dead:

Joseph lelnlck. Jr., l8. soldier.

As the American was passing the west-hound freight. the steel suddcniy poked into the passenger engine. scraped two mail cars and a combination car and then bit into the coach.

"The steel hit the upper part of a coach window and bounced back, slashed across two cars and cut through the coach like a knife," said John R. McCrory, New York film exocutivrc. who was a passenger.

As the flier and freight ground to a stop, the steel toppled to the other side, decal-ling the loco- motive and fender of sn cost- bound freight There were no- cssualiies in this phase of the acci- dent, the railroad said.
