"Federal Govit Plans To

O'I'rAWA, April 20-(CP)-The Government is preparing to cut the last of the margarine prohib- itions out of Federal dairy legis- lation.

This will be done, it was learn- ed today, by an amendment to the Dairy Act, likely to be introduced in the current session of Parlia- ment.

Writing another chapter in the turbulent story of margarine pro- duction in Canada, the amend- ment will have the effect of el- iminating a long-standing Dairy-

Act ban against the import of margarine and butter sulbstitutes.

This won't mean that Canada's doors will be immediately opened to a flow of butter substitutes from across the border.

Their import is prohibited by a customs tariff, put into effect 30 years ago when a dairy lobby told the Government that marg- arine ingredients were no more than the "scrapings from the in- sides of cows' stomachs."

The move to amend the Dairy Act springs from the 1948 decis- ion of the Supreme Court of Can- ado. ruling that Parliament lack- ed the power to continue prohib- ition of the manufacture. sale and distirbutlon of butter substi- tutes in Canada.

Under the constitution. it was strictly a matter for the provin- ces. This decision, upheld by the judicial committee 0! the Imper- ial Privy Council last year, threw a question mark over the validity of all dairy legislation. Consid- eration of means of tightening up the act and adding to its consti- tutional strength followed.

The National Dairy Council. spokesman for dairy manufactur- ers and distributors across the country, said lifting the import. ban would be a "betrayal" by the Government of "one of the larg- est industries in Canada."

Allied Otmimander Has No Predlclion On Nexillliase

TOKYO. April 21 - (satui-day) -- (AP) - stubborn Chinese Com- munist rearguards sought to delay the United Nations advance on Chorwon Friday with small but hit- ter counter-attacks while the main Red force back-pedalled deeper into North Korea.

The U. 5. Eighth Army's new commander, Lt.-Gen. James A. Van Fleet, offered no predlcitlons on the next phase of the war dur- mg a front-line visit. He said it was "anybody's guess" what the communists would do next, but added: ,

"There is a definite buildup and I imagine he (the enemy) would like to take another shot at us. We're ready for him - if he does."

Gen: MacArthur Given Herois Welcome In N.Y.

By Don Whitehead

NEW YORK. April 20 -(AP) - A roaring multitude today gave Gen. Douglas MacArthur the greatest acclaim the United states has ever heaped upon a returning hero.

The mass outpouring of people and emotion-police estimated the crowd at 7.500.000-swelled into a thunderous tribute to the famed soldier who has sparked a bitter conflict over American policy in Asia.

The ovation rolled from the green expanse of Central Park down into the grey stone depths of Lower Manhattan during four hours and one minute.

O'l'i'AWA. April 20- (CP) -A United States vehicle company has finally dropped opposition to the use of its patents for a jeep production in Canada. authoritat- ive sourcca said today.

This means that one of the big hurdles has been crossed in the development of an extensive mil- liary vehicle production program in Canada, linked to the over-all. three-year, !5.000.00t),000 defence effort.

For months, the American com- pany-Wlllys of Canada-has op- posed Canada's request that Ford of Canada at Windsor, Ont.. be allowed use of blueprints for a modified. American-type jeep. which Canada will adopt as stan- dard miliiary equipment.

Meinwhile. planning is continu- ing toward the possible develop- ment in Canada of two other American military vahicle pro- grams. one for a throe-quarter- ion truck and the other for I zit-ton heavy transport.

A possible deterrent is the problem of economics. it is a question whether Canada can

produce her small requirements of these vehicles without excess-

Relax In In Korea

By BILL ROSS Canadian Press Staff Writer

IN KOREA. April'20-(CF)-in a tented city with gravelied side- walks. electric lighu. telephones, sports grounds and showers, the Patriclas cleaned up Tuesday af- ter their latest session in the North Korean hills.

Souhh of the 38th parallel. in a camp prepared by Maj. George Flint of Montreal, second in com- mand, the troops relaxed after their latest operation-a nine-day excursion into North Korea which saw them wind up eight miles north of the boundary.

Contribute To Advance

The Pa-tricias contributed more than 5ii- miles of that advance, taking five mountains against varying Chinese opposition and increasingly thankful that North Korea's hills run mostly north and south, not east and west. They were easier to capture that way.

The job was done at a cost of eight wounded, mostly slightly. and no dead.

The operation was the second led by Major Pat Tighc of Vic- toria, commanding the battalion in the absence of Li.-Col. J. R. Stone, out with smallpox.

The battalion functioned like

Hard Hit By Frost

I VANCOUVER. April 20--(CF) I Frost took it heavy toll on the Okanagan Valley's fruit trees last n-ight despite widespread use of smudge pots.

The frost left a trail of black- ened blossoms. hitting hard at cherry and other stone fruit trees. Tender buds and bios- soms withered. Most apple trees escaped damage as few are in the blossom stage.

Damage was also reported to orchards in the Fraser River Valley. but there was no im- mrciiate estimate of losses.

More frost is predicted for tonight, and the fruit growers are facing the worst outlook in 15 years.

Escape from One Vessel

NEW ORLEANS. Apr. 20-(AP) -Two oil tankers collided in a dense dawn fog in the Gulf of Mexico today with a probable death toll of 38. Both ships were swept by flames after the crash.

The Esso Greensboro was left a blazing hulk with only five of her

42 crew members rescued. The 10,000-ion tanker wallowed in a sea of flaming oil spilled from

the 140.000-lbarre-l cargo she was ca.rrying from Aransas Pass. 'l'cx., to Baltimore and New York.

Puts Out Fire

The 26.500-ion super tanker Essa Suez, the other ship in the 5 A.M. collision. was cut by a 20-foot gash in he-r bow about l0 feet above the water line. She was able, however, to put outihe fire that swept her forepeak, and proceeded toward New Orleans. She is expected here tomorrow.

Fire Spread Rapidly

A Coast Guard officer here said the fire spread so rapidly Greens-

boro crew members could put only one boat overside. The collision occurred about

200 miles south of Morgan City. La., a city midway between New Orleans and Lake Charles, La. The Essa New York picked up two of the Grcensboro's survivors as they swam in the oily water. A third man was in is lifeboat in which were also the charred bod- ies of two crew members. The

fourth man was taken from the .

poopdeck of the Greensboro by rescuers in a boat sent out by the New York.

In New York the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey said the fire aboard the Essa Suez was con- fined to the forcpeak of the ves- sel and that her engine room and steering gear was undamaged. The tankers are owned by the Essa Standard Oil Company.

Senators In Shoving Match Over MacArthur

WASHINGTON, April 20-(AP) -Three aroused senators ended a war of words over Gen. MacAr- thur's policies today with s shoving match at the door of a radio recording studio.

Senator Homer Capehart (Rcp.. lnd.), s heavily-built man of 53 and a backer of MacArthur, told reporters that he seized Senator Hubert Humphrey (Dem., Minn.) by the lapel and "threw him out" of the studio after Humphrey called him "a very dirty name."

Then. Cspehart said, Senator Herbert Lehman (Dem. Lib. N.Y.) "jumped me from the back. and I threw him back into the stu- dlo.'

Senator Herman Welker (Rep. Idaho) who with Senator Robert

Taft (Rep. 0.) witnessed thobrlef scuffle. said it was "a kind of

cream-puffy business."

There was no sign of a lei-up in the great quarrel on whether P:-csiricni Truman did right or wrong when he fired MacArthur from his Pacific commands last week with the explanation that the General didn't fit in with plans to restrict warfare in Ko- rca.

Everything pointed to a build- up to another climax. probably late this month. when MacArthur returns to Washington for a question-and-arlswer session with the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee.

The quarrel is pinpointed now on whether the joint chiefs of staff-whose duty it is to advise Truman on military matters. were for or against MncArthur's views on how to run the war in the Far East.
