UITAWA. June ii — (CF The record of Nova Scotia in coal production is "anything but satisfactory." Munitions Minister Howe told the House of Commons today as ha gave a picture of widespread absenteeism.

He was answering a question from Clarence Gillis (CCF - Cape Breton South) who said he had a telegram from Local 4630, United Mineworkers of America, protest- ing the action of the Dominion Coal Company in leaving its new Caledonia mines idle on Saturdays and flfikllil! for compensation to the workers for time lost. He said this action was taken by the company after . Rowe's recent ivarning of a possible coal short- age next winter.

Wheeling northward from St. Jacques De Nehou and Barneville near the west coast, the Americans in an overall gain of 10 miles rolled through Bricquebec. an important highway town 11 miles south of Cherbourg. and hurled the Germans three miles beyond he city.

A dispatch from Associated Press correspondent Wil- liam Smith White at General ltlonigomery/‘s 21st Army Group Headquarters said it was estimated unofficially that the trapped Germans around Cherbourg might number as high as 50,000.
