MaoMillan, Dean of the Legislature as he concluded speak- mg on the Draft Address.

Anlitlig the faults Dr. MaoMli- pm cited in reference to Prince of Wales College were: 1. operation on sectarian lines; 2. Transforma- tion into in social centre; 3. Van- da't.sm among students; 4. Lack of discipline; 5. Lack of stress on teacher training; 6. Divorce from the Department of z:du.cauon;, and 1. Hzszii failure rate. '

Spring Election In Britain Rumored

LONDON. (Reuters)-A swing to the right in recent by-elecions for vacant seats in the House of com- mons has started a crop of rumors here that Prime Minister Churchill intends to spring a general elec- tion thls fall.

Political sources supporting this theory point out that in some of the by-elections the Conservatives have increased their share of the total votes cast by as much as four per cent.

If such a. percentage gain could be obtained in most of Britain's 625 parliamentary constituencies, the government's majority in the House of Commons would rise from its present 10 over all other parties to some figure between 150 and 200.

But by-elections are notoriously unsafe in Britain as indications of the likely outcome of a general vote.

Maritime And Alberta Mines - Need Assistance

OTTAWA. (CP)-Changes in gov- ernment policy on coal subven- tlons-subsidies that help pay the cost of getting Maritime: and Western coal to market-likely will be announced today.

The cabinet, it was learned, ap- proved of some changes Wednes- day in a continuing study or the coal-marketing problem. and these probably will be disclosed to a Maritimes delegation conferring with ministers today on the ills of the eastern coal industry.

Further shuffling of the 46,000.- 000-a-year subvention payments may be in prospect, informants said, but this will depend on con- sideration given to representations made by the Maritlmes group.

Aid For West

While new subvention policy rs- lating to the Marltimcs was being kept secret pending the meeting today, officials said the govern- ment has ordered A new assistance plan on western coal which it hopes will boost Alberta shipments into Ontario by more than 100,- 000 tons a year.

This is an increase of 65 cents a ton on the subvention paid for western coal going into northwest- ern Ontario for steam-making purposes. It hoists the eubventlon ceiling on this fuel to 83.60 a ton.

The 85 cents a ton represents half the difference between the Alberta and U.S. prices. Federal officials said Thursday manage- mcnls of western mines-hit by declining markets--have agreed to absorb the other half in the hope of picking off the Ontario market. On this basis. they said, Alberta should be able to take the business. ,

The subventlons are paid from the federal treasury malnry to help, Canadian coal" to sales areas against competition from U. 3. fuel.

In the 1952-53 fiscal year. 34,- 770,000 went towards moving 1,- 625,000 tons of Nova Scotia coal; 81,018,000 to 697,000 ions from Al- berta, and the remainder of the 36,000,000 towards smaller move- ments from New Brunswick, sas- katchewan and British Columbia.

Eastern Heifer Too Tough For M. P.

OTTAWA. (CP) - An eastern heifer proved too tough for a lasso - swinging MP - rancher from the West Thursday.

Mcrvyn Johnson, CCF member of the Commons for Kindersley, Sask.. wound up on his back in ft anowbank when he tried to put a rope on the runaway heifer that had broken loose from an abattoir here.

in full cry was cornered in a buclryard near where the MP lives.

But the heifer moved first,

butted the rancher into the snow and was off again.

NEW ORLEANS. (AP) - Dr. Jrnss E. Salk confidently l!iSWf?i” ed all-critics of his polio vaccine Thursday night and announced it now appears the vaccine can even give you life-long protection.

From new studies. he Salli ll” vaccine looks better than over-as a really practical way of ending the scourge of polio.

He said he sees no reason to delay mass tests on children be- cause of any doubts about its saf- gfy, supply. or potency.

Nearly 5,000 Pittsburgh-arr-a youngsters already have had the vaccine. And not one had the slightest fever, or pain of swell- ing ln the arm from the shots, Dr. Salk declared.

Earlier in the day, Dr. Albert E. Sabin, Cincinnati virus expert. said at a press conference in De- troit that he felt the mass tests should be delayed. The tests are scheduled on 500,000 or more, children, starting in two in thret weeks.
