Chief emphasis was placed by the opposition leader on the neces- slty of restoring the policy of fin- cal need in Dcminion-Provincial relations, and on this Province de- manding and obtaining more equit- able revenue adjustments.

Hope Tolverl Another Huge Surplus lids Year

WASHINGTON. March 10 — (AP) —— The House of Represent- atives today gave final approval to a bill which would deny Gov- ernment price supports next year to any potatoes grown in the Un- ited States outside a rigid produc- tion control system.

Similar action by the senate, possibly tomorrow. will send the measure to the White House.

The House voted 150 to 66 for tile compromlse version of the catch- all farm legislation worked out by a senate-I-louse conference com- mittee. In addition to stipulating that there won't be any price sup- ports on the 1951 United states potato crop unless growers Iccept tight bushel-and-acre production curbs. the bill would:

1. Institute guards against an- other big surplus of potetoes this year. This would be done by limit- ing price supports of potatoes cov- ered by voluntary marketing ag- reements worked out by growers on a. regional basis. or, it it is too late to institute such u.§|‘O6fl‘|OntS generally, supports would be lim- ited to potatoes which are raised under a program devised by the secretary of Agriculture to funnel the potatoes into the markets in an orderly fashion.

2. Allow the secretary of Agric- ulture to give away any or all of the huge potato surplus the Gov- ernment has accumulated in its price-propping operations on last year's crop, and pay the freight on the potatoes to their destination in the United States or loading polnt»for shipment abroad. Public and private non-profit organize tlons would be eligible for the gift spuds.

Nfld. Considering New ‘Markets For Her Fish

By Joe Mnosween

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld.. March 16- (CP) —- Possibility that Newfound- land will be forced to invade the fish markets of the other Maritime Provinces was hinted today by William Keough. Minister of Fish- uiee and Co-operatives. . -

Mr. Keough told the Newfound- lerid Legislature that unlees the Province manages to sell 250.000 qulntais in Europe this year she may have to turn to Caribbean and other western hemisphere markets.

This might result in I collapse of the whole Itrueture. Newfound- lend traditionally markets most of her eelt cod in Europe while the other.AitlIntic Provinces sell in the Caribbean Ind North America. Devaluatlcn delivered I dagger- lng blow to Newfoundland‘: trade.

No Indication Whether Gov'l Will Agree

LONDON. March 16 — (CP) - Winston Churchill called today for a secret session of both Houses of Parliament to debate the state of Britain's defences.

There was no indication from the Government whether it would ac- cede to his request.

The Opposition leader asserted that the Government has withheld from Parliament defence secrets which are "certainly and obvious- ly" known to soviet Russia. He made it plain that he referred to the atom and hydrogen bombs.

Churchill told the House of Commons: "We might then go into the

atom-bomb question and see if fur- ther lnformatlon could be given than that ‘the chiefs of staff are giving full weight to this new fac- tor.’ " l

The quotation was from a white paper by Defence Minister Eman-

The early oonstniction of the proposed Prince of Wales College dormitory and the provision of a home Ind.school for subnormu! children when trained personnel are available were requested by the Provincial Women's Institute in I. brief to the Legislature yester- day morning.

The brief from the Institute's pol- icy committee of four ladies was well received. Described by Prem- ier Jones as being “right to the poln ". it led to a friendly and in- formal discussion.

The wartime Prime Minister warned that Europe cannot be de- fended against Russian attack "without the active aid of Western Germany."

The Russians never caught on until the last, and even then it was more suspicion than actual knowledge.

In the early days Winter and his men were let alone. They let him handle the police affairs of zeltz, a city of (5.000. as he had done before the Nazi era.
