Mr. Harris was given an enthu- siastic hearing. as were also the candidates. Messrs. w. Chester S. McLure and Wing Commander J. Angus MacLean. DFC, who pre- ceded him with able addresses re- viewing the Federal issues.

Maior A. MacDonald, Con- servative victor in Monday's pro- vincial by-election in the Cardi- gan District, was on the platform and was also warmly applauded when introduced by Vice-President A. O. l". Gill. who presided. Others

the platform included Mr. J.

. Myers, former Conservative member for the County, to whom Mr. Harris referred in cordial terms during his speech.

"This delayed election should

The torpedo damage left the ship a sittng duck for further at- tack, but her crew volunteered to remain with the ship. Howeven 10 wounded and 07 other men were taken of! in the rescue ship Arn. prior while five officers and 37 men spent lo-treacherous hours shoring up the damage, jettison. ing ammunition and shifting car-

nights the plucky vessel and her gallant crow crawled through heavy seas at the end of a tow line that

But within three miles of Swan- sea the tow was struck by the heaviest storm in i2 years and driven onto sands. The volunteer crew was taken of! by a lifeboat from ashore tion. But they returned later to man the gallant Chebogua as she was eased off the sand and towed to port.

‘To. Occupy Of Germany

DY DOUG Ifil

LONDON. June 6 ‘— (AP) Moscow newspapers published maps today indicating that Russia would occupy iWDPTOXiITXQtGIY half of Ger- many 0n a line rurming well West of Berlin and including largo areas now in American and British hands the Soviet radio announced.

A British Foreign Cffioe spokes- man said the British, Americon an.‘ French occupation zonzs were “un- der discussion" by the European Advisory Council, but there was no indication when their boundarie: would be decided upon.

The none of Russian occupation as outlined by tihe Moscow map would take in the cities of Leipzi Goth»: and lilrfurt and all of Thu:- ingia. Provinx in Central Gen-non 110W held by American forces. At it farthest western bulge in Thuringla the Russian zone would reach within 60 miles northwest of present Allied Supreme Haadquarters at Frank- furt On M-zin.

The Russian zone delineation, which was not authenticated by the Americans or British. came after the first meeting of the four-power Allied Control Council in Berlin Yesterday. which issued a. declar- ation reducing Germany to the status of a beaten prisoner nation.

Ended Abruptly?

There was some anxiety in hon- dcn over the report by a corres- pondent of the combined American press that the session "ended abruptly" when the American, British and French representatives learned that the Russian delegate, Marshal Zhukov, was not empowered to do any more than sign the dec- laration of supreme allied authority. Gen. Eisenhower and Field Mar-i slial Montgomery, flew back to, their headquarters immediately after the meeting. and the Inndon Star reported without ‘lonrflnnation that Sir Bernard was flying London “for important consul-ta- tions on the future of Germany." At any rat/e, the first brief meet- ing in Berlin left unsettled many de all; concerning the organization‘ of the Allied Control Council and how it will govern the Germans. It was announced in the House of Corruncns that Allied military missions hiad taken up posts in Russian-held Vienna, and there were indications the Big Four was r into some snags on the question of administering Austria. A spokesman for the British libr- eign Office admitted it would be “some time" before a control com- mission could be set rp in Austria, which the Allies stripped from Ger- many in yesterday's rigid declar- ation.

A correspondent of the Press As- sociation sz-id that “steps, are now being taken to move Allied troops to their own areas." He. said t-he British zone would include the Kiel naval base and tfiat British Head- quarters would be in or near Ham- burg.
