28-hour Preparation

The Flrench-Canadian unit moved in Nov. 22. They had 28 hours to prepare themselves, with only shelling to contend with, be- fore the Chinese laid down their first serious bombing.

Maj. Liboiron. describing Red technique, said:

"You'd see them coming down out of the mountains in threes and fours. The first thing you'd know, there were 500 then.

"They'd come in small packages of a few men milling around. Be- fore long they'd formed into mas- .9...

The Reds assaulted the Van Door position in three waves:

First. with grenades and burp mm-5:

second. with carpets and his bayonet-ended sticks--the carpets being used as stiles to cross U. N. barbed wire: ' Third. with nothing but gren- ades.

The second and third waves armed themselves partly by snat- ching upon the weapons of their fallen first-wave troops.

"I must say they were plucky." said Maj. Libolron. "They kept coming not only through our ar- tillery but their own.

Mortars Red Hot

During the initial attack on Major's platoon. the mortars were fired so often and so fast that they were red hot. The artillery had to take over for 20.mlnutes while the barrels cooled.

(Monday every Van Door mor- tar was replaced). ..

Meantime, United States troops recaptured the eastern peak. leav- Ing only the western hill in Chin- csc hands. From there, Nov. 25. the last major assault on Maj. LIboiron's company was launched.

It was beamed on Lieut. Cole's position. with the aim of pushing lhlm from between Sgt. Major and Lieut. Nash. The attack was broken up by artillery and mor- tars.

Maj. Baker built a ring of fire around the Van Docs company. using all the Commonwealth Div- ision's artillery. That night the R.C.l-I.A. alone fired 6.000 rounds and motor crews loosed 5.100 bombs. The crews carried on without a break though Chinese

Maritime Eriiigration E9? Hydro Power Discussed By Trade Bd. Executive

MONCTON. Nov. 28 - A first move toward increasing the num- bes:.of-nliuropean immigrants set- tling in the Maritime Provinces was taken yesterday by the exec- utive of the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade.

Meeting in one-day session at the Brunswick Hotel here, the ex- ecutlve decided to approach the Premiers of all four Atlantic Prov- inces in an endeavour to have s. Maritime commission set up to ef- fect a heavier flow of immigrants to the Maritimes.

The Premiers will be given a full report of the recommendations of GB. Blakeny. Moncton, when he called for an immigration drive at the annual meeting of the Maritime Provinces Boards of Trade held at Sydney in October.

A spokesman for the executive said that of the thousands of Eur- opean lmmlgrants arriving in the Maritimes each month a dispropor- tionately small number remain to make their homes here. Since he referred to this situation in his annual report Mr. Blskeny has re- ceived dozens of applications and enquiries from European countries from people '-nxlous to settle in these provinces. The executive felt that with proper agencies. the Maritimes could attract a sizeable number of immigrants.

Power Commission

Recommendations that a three- provinces hydro electric power commission and a Maritime indus- trial development board be set up were acted upon.

Mr. Blakeny recommended the power commission as a means of providing more and cheaper elect- rlcity in Nova Scotia. New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island Lack of power has been a factor in retarding industry. he believed.

To assist in the development of new industry and to aid existing industry. it was decided to ap- proach the Maritime branch of the Canadian Manufacturers Associa- tion with a proposition for joint action. The executive felt as this matter affects also the C. M. A.. a joint committee of the two organ- izations should work together 0" a development program.

The executive also established the following standing committees Finance, legislation, auditing, and an extension committee for etch province. of which the, provincial vice-presidents will be chairmen. In recognition of his service to the organization. 1!. A. Saunders. Hal- ifax. who retired a few month! 3110 gm-,r 33 years as secretary was made an honorary life member.

Cease-fire negotiators were scheduled to resume their talks I-1 usual at ll a. m. today (9 p. m. Wednesday, EST). On Wednesday they were at loggerheads on item three of the armistice agenda- supervlsion of the Korean armist- ice.

Only a few rounds of Red artil- lery broke the unnatural stillness Wednesday. Allied patrols roamed the quiet front under orders to take no offensive action. In many cases they made no contact.

Air, Sea nlhting

Fighting went. on in the air and along the coasts. Three Commun- ist Mig-15s and a U. S. F-86 Sabre jet were shot down during sir battles Wednesday.

Actually. the cease-lire llne rat-

ified Tuesday by armistice neg- otiators at Panmunjom did not specify that ground fighting

should stop. The cease-fire agree- ment simply provided that the line drawn Nov. 27 should become the cease-fire line if a full armist- ice were concluded within 30 days If an armistice were not con- agreed. a new line would be drawn based on .10-day clause stating that hostilities would continue. The directive to halt ground fighting marked an apparent re- versal in Allied thinking. The
