May Eliminate Opposition To Price Fixing Bill

OTTAWA, Nov. 29 - (GP) - A move was initiated today to block the possibility of widespread price wars in the event that Parliament bans resale price - maintenance practices.

David Croll (I. - Toronto spad- ina), placed before Parliament's re- tail pi-ice-fixing committee notice of a motion to make cut-throat price-cutting and loss-leader sell- ing illegal.

The move came at the end of a stormy session in which charges of "gagging" and using "delaying tactics" were made.

Might Speed Action

It likely will eliminate a big segment of opposition to the gov- ernment's proposal to make price niairiteriance illegal and enable the committee to finish work in time to allow Justice Minister Gnrson to place legislation before Parlia- ment at the current ' , ex- pected to end about Dec. 19.

Mr. Croll's notice of motion goes to the advisory group of the main committee for consideration.

Under Mr. Oroll's proposal no dealer will be allowed to sell "dir- ectly or indirectly" any commod- ity - with certain exceptions - at. a price less than five per cent above cost.

He defined cost as: "Invoice cost

OFITAWA. Nov. N - (Special) - When discuuion of the freight rates equalization bill continued in the Commons today, W. Chester S. McLure. Conservative membe for Queen's. reiterated his charges that work of the Board of Trans- port Commissioners had been neither effective not satisfactory in Prince Edward Island.

He expressed the hope that with the substantial salary increases provided for members of the Board the Government would be able to obtain the services of experienced and capable person- nel.

Mr. McLure attempted to probe into the duties of the Transport Board. Transport Minister Chev- rier skilfully side-stepped the question by saying the duties are set forth in sections 32 and 33 of the Railways Act.

"So far as the railway problems in our Province are concerned." the Queen's member charged. "I believe this board has always acted as a. buffer between the Minister of Transport and the Deople who are looking for roll- way service. Whether or not we are getting the right class of man on this board, I do not know."

Mr. MoLure contends that choice 0; members of the Transport Board are not and have not been happy ones. some appointed to the post or Chief Commissioner or Commissioner have been Lawyers and interested chiefly if not solely in railway law. Then

A large number of members spoke on the resolution with a large section feeling that the Fed- eration should go on record out- right as asking for the abolishing of the property vote. Motions were made and withdrawn as bitterness became evident over a system which permits a property owner to vote for both a councillor and an sssemblyman whereas the fran- chise vote only allows voting for an Issemblyman.

Amazing-Bomber Of Trucks Seen Behind tints

U. S. FIFTH FORCE HEAD- QUARTERS KOREA, Nov. 30 -- (l'Tiday) - (AP) - The Fifth Air Force today reported sighting the astonishing total of 7.785 Commun- ists trucks last night in North Korea. This is about double the previous record.

The conclusion was inescapable - the Reds were swinging into a big buildup as action died to A whisper along the fighting front.

The Allied airmen, almost sur- cened with targets. attacked more than 11,500 of the trucks and maim- ed 300 were destroyed.

SEOUL. Korea, Nov. 30-(Frb day)-(AP)-Allied big guns re- sumed firing Thursday at Com- munist positions on the Korean front following "clarification" of II directive to U. S. Eighth Army

troops, but infantry still kept mainly under wraps. The air war raged hot and

heavy over North Korea. with the Reds sending out a record one- dny total of 300 to 320 Russian- n-inde Mig jets.

The Allied artillery that open- ed up Thursday in the west end- ed a 36-hour respite. During the strange lull, Chinese soldiers play- ed ball games and lit bonfires within range of the silent Allied guns.

The Reds look cover again when the artillery blazed anew. but there were only a few patrol clashes. and as of Thursday mid- night no infantry was reported in action.

(At Key West. Fia., president Truman told a press conference the United Nations forces would continue to maintain pressure on the enemy in Korea.)

On the truce conference front, negotiators were snarled anew over the issue of troop security during an armistice. They have until Dec. 27 to conclude an arm- istice. Otherwise Tucsday' agree- ment on a provisional buffer zone along the present front line will not be binding. Both sides have agreed that hostilities will continue until an armistice is signed.

Gen. James A. Van Fleet. com- mandt-r of the Eighth Army, ex- plained Wednesday's front-line lull as the apparent result of "misinterpretation of Ii basic dir- ective he issued to his troops.

BIGNS ENEMY -BUILDING UP STRENGTH IN KOREA

While fees for registration of passenger cars remain unchanged. the whole basis of truck registra- tion in Prince Edward Island has been altered under provisions of the Highway Traffic Act, 1950. The new regulations, now pub- lished in the Royal Gazette. be- come effective on Jun. 1, 1952.

Since 1050 truck registration fees have depended upon un- laden weight, and on whether the body was stake or hoist type, with permlssable load dependent on the wheel-base. It then cost no more to register for the maximum per- missible load. This has been chang- ed to a gross weight basis, still with a limit for each type of truck but permitting owners to register for less than the permis- sible load and pay a correspond- ingly lower fee.

(As an example of type limit. the gross weight allowed with a 156-inch wheel-base is 17,200 pounds).

This principle will apply also to trailers, which arer for the first time classed elth as farm or as commercial vehicles. Public vehi- cles (busses) are classed with com- mercial vehicles. The change could mean a reduction of about 50 per cent in bus registration fees.

A feature of the new regulations is that the year is divided into four for payments. instead of into halves as formerly. The year-end is changed from Dec. 31 to March 3'. and all licenses are extended to that date. The Provincial Secre- tary's Department. however, will start selling the new licenses on Jan. 2.
