The manufacturer could not tell in advance what action would be taken by U. S. customs officials under their custmns procedure which permits independent action to bar goods seeking entry to the U. 5. market.

He told Senator W. D. Euiler (L. Ontario) that Canada has set an example to other countries by ful- filling promises under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The same is not true at the US.

He said the U.S., in addition of its customs procedure, employs embalgoes against foreign goods which it had promised to use only in cases of monetary or financial crisis.

He added that European coun- tries also are employing these as- cape clauses in the international agreement.

Despite this. he said. the agree- ment has had 9. reasonable success. Moves to free world trade must be made slowly.

MONTREAL, (OP) -The Quebec Court of Appeals has rejected the appeal of Rheval Leo Bertrand of Ottawa. central figure in one of the most spectacular murder trials in the history of the Ottawa dis- trict.

Bertrand, 3'!-year-old dry-clean- ing establishment employee by day and part-time psychologist by night, was convicted May 22, 1952. of murdering his 55-year-old well- to-do bride of two months. Crown prosecutors argued he wanted to get control of his wifels 530,000 estate.

His l.ppeI.I was based on two grounds:

I. The trial judge, Mr. Justice Francois Caron of Montreal. erred in his charge to the jury.

I. The 12-man Roman Catholic Jury had illegally been pemtl-tted to go to confereion during the trial.

He recalled that during the trial member of the jury had requested permiss on to go to con-feuion. After consultation with all parties. including dafonce counsel. the per- mission was granted.

Spectacular Oil Tank Fire In Montreal

MONTREAL. (CP)-A spectacu- lar fire in a. 33,000,000 oil storage plant raged out of control Tuesday night and threatened nearby tanks containing 150,000 to 200,000 gal- lons of explosive naps... gas. Divisional chief Alexandre Guel- lette of the Montreal fire depart- ment said there ”is no hope of saving the plant,” built by tho Canadian Oil Company about a year ago.

People in homes within a quar- ter-mile. of either side of the plant were evacuated as a safety meas- ure.

Main worry of the firemen was in keep the flames from the Nap- tha. tanks, about 80 feet from the burning plant. A stiff. cold west wind helped them in their battle. Flames shot hundreds of feet. in the air and barrels often exploded as a result of the intense heat. Firemen estimated that they were pouring some 300 streams of water onto the blaze in addition to chemicals.

The plant is located on Notre Dame Street east. not far from the St. Lawrence River waterfrolre. It is two to three miles from main oil and gas refineries in Montreal East.

Cause of the fire was not imme- diately known. No casualties were reported immediately.

Britain To Revise Alomlc Conirol

LONDON. (Reutersl -- Britain will take control of atomic energy out nf the hands of civil servants, Prime Minister Churchill announc- ed Tuesday.

A committee has been set up to devise a plan for the transfer of responsibility from the ministry of supply to i'a non-departmental or- ganization,” he said.

some leading scientists, headed by Lord Cherwell, Churchill's ad- viser on atomic energy, have urg- ed the change. Lord Cherwell has told the Cabinet that the Uni- ted states has moved much faster than Britain with atomic develop- ments because resesrch there is run on free enterprise lines. Churchill said he believed Brit- ain should follow the example of several other countries, especially the United States. in making sure that this difficult matter is "not gripped unduly by departmental- ism."

Iulk Of Old Fighting Ship

Ocean Burial

SYDNEY. N. 3., (OP) - A once- proud fighting ship. for the last 30 years just a navigational nuis- ance to this Cape Breton port, will soon get a. final burial in the deep waters of the Atlantic.

The former Royal Navy ship Pelican,whose sunken 1.130-ton hulk has been lying in Sydney har- bor since l923, will be towed far from the offshore shipping lanes and scuttled as soon as barges, pumps and cranes finish raising her.

It will be an ignominious end for the old campaigner whose career covered everything from .sub- fighting to trading in the northern ice fields.

Built In 1377

The graceful, bsvque-rigged ves- sel was built at Devonport. Eng- land. in 1877 as an armed cargo carrier and training ship for the Royal Navy. A coal burning steam engine supplemented her broad canvas. giving her a speed as high as 12 knots.

Around the turn of the century. i.he Pelican did a. stint. of police work along the French treaty shore of Newfoundland. where French fishermen had wide pi-ivilegesand feeling between the two races often ran high.

Sold to the Hudson's Bay Com- pany in 1901, she prowled Canada's north coast as it supply ship. Her 1'10-foot teakwood hull made her a natural ice-bucker. and veteran seamen horn say her timbers still seem as sound as the day she was launched.

Reverie To Old Role

With the outbreak of the First World War, the Pelican reverted to the role for which she was design- ed. She ran munitions over the submarine-ridden route to the northern Russian port of Mur- mansk.

A veniuresome German undersea raider, to its sorrow, engaged her in a. running surface battle in 1918. The Pelican pounded bark with her 6.5-inchers, a mobile deck can- non and two machine guns.

when the smoke cleared i 1-2 hours inter, the sub was nowhere

in sight and the Pellcnnls gun- ners were credited with sinking her.

With the and of hostilities. rtihc

barque was sold in a. Newfoundland firm for scrap. stripped of hgr metalwovlc and deck gear. she was towed to Cape Breton in 1923 and finally berihed here after snapping her iowiine and grounding on Sable island.

Unwanted, unsung and aban- doned by her owners, she lay at a pier and became a diving board for swimmers until one day some curious children opened her sea- cocks. An eyesore and it menace to shipping. the hulk has been lying there ever since.

Critics Claim Present Policy Nol Adeipiale

OTTAWA, (OP)-Canada's hous- mg ills came in for a lengthy Commons debate Tuesday and brought forth suggestions that the government should take a bigger hand in housebulldlng, even to entering the construction field it- self where necessary.

spokesmen for parties in oppo- sition were agreed that present government policy of staying in the background and sticking strict- ly to financing, isn't a cure for the housing shortage. But they dif- fered on what should be done. though most thought housing aid to municipalities was a necessity.

The critics of government policy included one Liberal-David Croll, member for Toronto's Spad:"' con- stituency. He said the government is trying to persuade people to own their own houses but is not mak- ing it possible for them to do so.
