Stalin Holds 3rd World War No Closer Now Than

In Pre-Korean War Days

By Francis W. Carpenter

NEW YORK. April 1 -(AP)- Promicr stalln today assured I. group of United states newspaper editors and radio men that a third world war is no nearer than it was in 1049 or 1950.

Stalin said he feels a meeting of the chiefs of state of the great powers possibly would be useful. Also that the time has come to unify Germany. and that Com- munism and Capltalisn can exist peaceably said by side-if.

He expressed these views in a telegram dispatched in response to four questions sent to him March 24. The telegram arrived here on the eve of the Moscow economic conference, a major propaganda project of the soviet Union. Stalin chose to answer the Question at long range rather than to receive the newspaper men in Moscow for a give-and-take interview.

Says Inflation Under Control In Canada

OTTAWA. April 1 -(UP) - Trade Minister Howe said tonight Canada at least arppears to have inflation "under control." but he feared thh demands of organized labor "may upset the spplecart."

He urged delegates to the Nat- ional Federation of Liberal Wom- en to carry the message back to labor in their various regions "not to rock the boat" and produce an- other wave of climbing prices by excessixe wage demands.

Mr. Howe said that cost-of-living index report will come out in a few days. it will show another decline which will push back prices to where they were last August.

This could mean a reduction of about two points when the next index survey is issued. The index on Feb. 1 was estimated at 190.8. On Aug. 1 last it was 188.9. The index is based on I965-39 prices equalling 100.

There will be another reduction in the index in the following month. Mr. Howe said, and there is a good chance that prices will be stabilized at slightly lower lev- els than even those prevailing now.

A petition asking abolition oi all immoral literature from the news-.. stands oi this Province was re- ceived by Premier J. Walter Jones and read by him in the Legislature yesterday. The petition asked the Premier and Government to take steps to "cican-up"'the situation. The Premier stated that the matter would be drawn to the attention of the Attorney General to take nec- essary action.

He was congratulated on bring- ing the subject before the House by Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan who said the petition, signed by a large number of organizations and service clubs, was a non-sectarian appeal design- ed to aid the youth of the Province. He said that members of the Legis- lature frequently devoted much of their time to matter dealing with physical fitness and they could take some of the time to help strength- en the mlnds of the young people being poisoned by the literature

Oiiawa -will Give Provinces Deiails Today

OTTAWA, April l -(CP) -The Federal Government will tip its hand on beer price-support to the provinces tomorrow in a two-fold attempt to clear lriterprovincial livestock-and-meat roadblocks from Canada.

Informed quarters disclosed to- nlght that at the two-day federal- provlnclal agricultural conference to get under way tomorrow, the Federal Government will:

1. Offer to set an immediate floor price on beef to maintain current market prices.

2. Agree to undertake pur- chase and control of all meat surpluses.

3. Set the double federal aci- ion into motion just as soon as provinces agree to lift their embargoes and restrictions which have crippled transcon- tinental livestock marketing. The hook in the federal plan is

that the provincial restrictions must first be removed. The feel- ving among experts is that no nat- ional beef support program can work effectively unless there is free movement of livestock and meats between provinces.

The provincial agriculture min- isters likely will be assured that they run no risk in lifting the re- strictions. Agriculture Minister Gardiner is expected to announce that foot-and-mouth disease. the scourage which caused the market-

LAS VEGAS. Nev.. April I - (AP)-From 16 miles away, I watched an atomic explosion to- day. It was quite a sight but surprisingly its force had no ef- fect in our light plane.

Flying at 11.000 feet, we watch- ed the blast over Frenchman Flat, opening a new series of tests at the far-flung testing grounds northwest of here.

The device-as the Atomic En- -ergy commission called it-was released from an Air Force 3-29 at D A.M. PET (noon szsrv, as we were coming out of a turn al- most directly over Camp Desert Rock. the army's installation at the edge of the test site.
