HALIFAX, June 19—('Special)- At the great Bicentennial Thanks- giving Service at the Halifax Forum Sunday afternoon, a note- worthy scn of Prince Edward Ia- land, Rev. John Sutherland Bon- neli, D.D., minister of Fifth Ave Presbyterian Church, New York, was the special speaker, Dr. Bon- nell made special reference to the sailing out of Halifax harbor of the 5th Siege Battery from Prince Ed- ward _Island during World War I. He stated that one of the most deeply moving memories he had of Halifax, was the early morning de- parture af the battery, of which he was a Sergeant, to the s und of the "fog horn" on Mncn ‘s Island signalling "Good bye, g 0d luck!"

"There is no more owerful in- centive for the youth of a city or nation than a clear recollection of a noble part," said the preacher.

"A city without a past is root- iess~its life .is fragmentary and superficial. A city or nation which has no reverence for its tradition will have little regard for its fu- turc."

Participating in service were Hon. J. A. D. McCurdy, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scctla and Most Rev. G. F. Kingston, D.D. Primate of the Church of England,

More Price Cuts Expected "°

mile coastline.

In U- S. Auto Industry

(By David J. Wllldo)

DETROIT, June 19 -— (AP) ._ There will be more price reductions by the United States automobile industry this year.

Whether they will be made soon or be delayed for several weeks is anybody‘: guess. Such is the un- certainty in the car industry. One of the best guesses seems to be that the expected price-tag adjustments will come after the current sea- sonal buying surge eases off.

Most industry experts believe this will be late in July. Then. they add, there will be the sharpest kind of price competition through- out. the Jndustry in the United States.

But oven minor onto-if made

often enough-can worry competi- tors. General Motors bu demon- Jtrstod this, Twice this year. it h"

made $10 to $40 cuts on lengcr cars.

Supply shortages of a year ago now are a thing of the past.- Auto makers are getting all fhe steel they are likely to need this year. There is no shortage of parts. In- stead of searching new sources of supp y manufacturers are being be- sieged by salesmen.

The industry watched materials prices rise steadily after the war. But a lot of the things that go into the finished automobile have de- clined in recent months. Most ex- perts expect further reductions in materials costs.

Moreover the present rate of pro- Uuctlon is going to create another ritnble field stock for most of the

Archbishop

In. Midst Of Sermon

By a1. compound

PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia. June l9 - (AP) -- Screaming hecklers, apparently Communists, today drove Archbishop Joseph Beran from his throne in St. Vitus Cath- edral in the midst of his sermon.

The fighting Roman Catholic Archbishop gave up attempts to deliver the sermon and administer mass at Corpus Christi service's and returned to his police-controll- ed palace io await an uncertain fate.

During and after the disrupted church services. scores of police in the square outside made numerous arrests. The reason could not be learned. Numerous persons trying to enter the church square iverc made to produce identity papers. Others were turned away on the grounds the church was too full. though this was not so.

When the Prelnie left the cath- edral. thousands of Roman Cath- olics maseed in the courtyard surg- ed arcuhd his car. cheering wildly. singing and throwing flowers.

They shouted "Long live the Archbishop." and then groups of young Communists took up a rival shout. "Long live President Gott- wnld," the Communist head of the state.

Police dispersed the tors.

One diplomatic source reported without confirmation that a num- ber of convenis in Czechoslovakia have been closed. the nuns moved into one central convent and there required to register for work in factories.

‘The Archbishop “had lust b98111‘! to speak. delivering another hiist- ering attack on Government at- tempts to split the Roman Catholic

catcalla from men and women at the front interrupted him.

He told the congregation the Government wsponsored Catholic Action organization was "not. real Catholic action" and the Govern- meni-spcn-sored Catholic newspa- per was not a "Catholic newspa-

..

Thai was as far as he got. His voice was drowned out, as he ask- ed the audience to remember that children were present and to be calm. The audience burst in a spir- ited hymn in answer to the heck- lers. Men and women were in tears.

Apparently the hecklers feared the Archbishop was launching into a. bristling attack such as the past.- oral letter which was smuEEled out of the guarded Archbishop's castle last night. to the clergy and read

today in scores of churches throughout the country at. morn- ing masses.

This letter told the faithful that the time for decision had come. and to "recognize the lamb from the wolf in sheep's clothing."

Archbishop Beran declared loyflk ty to the state, but said he could not come to agreement wiiii the Government on a basis of “sublim- ating the Roman Catholic Church to an ideology which ‘is anti-Chris- iian" and of replacing "Christian- ity with Marxism."

He said he would not. stand for "setting up commissars in church institutions and establishment of action committees in Catholic con- gregaiions." -

Coal Supplies Short As Mine Strike Approaches

By Anthony Whltlock (Canadian Press Correspondent) SYDNEY, Australia, June l9 -—

(CP) — Australia today faces her gravest coal crisis in history with depleted stockpiles and threat of a country-wide coal strike nine days away.

Employers in New South Wales estimate that 100,000 workers will be laid off this week and near- ly 300,000 will be out cf work if the strike starts as scheduled June 27.

Steel mills in New South Wales‘ industrial area Saturday started closing down following imposition of coal rationing by the Govern- ment i an effort to conserve sup- plies.

The Labor Gnvcrnment of New South Wales is reliably reported to have joined the Federal Gov- ernment in fighting the Commun- ist-led Miners Federation which demands long-service leaves, a 35-hour week and a 30s (about $4.80» weekly wage increase for the Commonwealth's 24.000 coal miners. .

Observers say the drastic cuts ordered Friday night by the Gov- ernment are backed by members of the New South Wales Coal Board and that the Government is preparing for a long siege.

While the combined mining un- ions were seeking help of other unions in preparation for the strike. ldris Williams. president of the Miners‘ Federation. repeated his warning of a walkout to the Coal Board and the Government.

Sn far. mine owners have taken no action nn the miners’ defiance of an order by the coal tribunal not to hold strike meetings-lost Friday. It was at those meetings that the miners voted to call the walkout if their demands are not met by the June 27 deadline.

The tribunal order permitted prosecution of miners who did not work that day. it is believed that mine operators now are hope- ful that the Government will be sympathetic to their side.

S. woman ambassa- dor. Mrs. Mabelle Kennedy and Mrs. Perle Mesta have also been mentioned for ambassadorships.

Newsmen Given Warm Welcome

HALIFAX, June 19-(Special)— In its overwhelming welcome to some fifty Canadian newsmen from across the Dominion who formed the National Press Club of Canada, the citizens of Halifax gave a pre- view of the hospitality which visi- tors to the bicentenary festivities may expect during the coming twelve weeks celebrations.

Reversing their normal positions. the nowsmen settled down in the sweltering heat to enjoy their new roles as “visiting firemen" and con- sidered their reception as "out of this world."

In an action packed itinerary during the four day convention. the newsman were feted by the Halifax Press Club, bicentenary committee, Provincial Government, Canadian Broadcasting Corpor- ation. the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways. the Im- perial Oil C0,, the three armed services and citizens generally.
