IJOiNlDON. Sept. l—(APi—-The death of Andrei A. Zhdanov, dap- per membcr of the Soviet. Union's inner brain trust, appeared today to have opened a way to end ihc row between the Russian-domin- ated Comlnform and Yugoslavia.

Simultaneously, it removed a major obstacle in ihc path lo power of V. M. Molotov, the brush-mustached Foreign Minis- ter whose name has rivalled that oi Zhadanov in speculation over a successor to Prime Minister Stalin. As secretary of the Communist. Party's central committee. a post once held by Stalin himself. Zhdanov was the founding fatlicr of the Cominform, the nine- country propaganda agency for guiding and promoting Commun- ist policy outside the Soviet Un- ion.

It was Zhdanov who was cred- ited generally with promoting lhi- get-tough policy toward Marshall Tito and his Yugoslav lieuten- ants.

Perhaps significantly, intimates ol Ana Pauker, Romanian Foreign Minister and a high-ranking membe of the Communist Party's inner council, quoted her as sav- ing Zhdanov incurred Stalin's dis- pleasure as a result of the Yugo-

Decides Gahinet Lacks Authority Under Present Laws

OTTAWA, Sept. 1 -- (c?) The Justkc Department has ad- vised the Cabinet that it has not the power to set up n royal ccm- mission to investigate freight rates, it was learned today,

However, it was understood the Departments ruling does not pre- clude Parliament from setting up the type of commission sought by seven of the Provinces.

The Justice Department's ad- vice was given after the Govern- rment asked for an opinion on the lcgaliiy‘ of a royal commission to investigate the whole Canadian transportation problem, as asked by the Governments of all the» Provinces cxocpt Quebec and On- iario.

The pcpiiiimenvs opinion, ii‘ was understood, was along these lines:

l. Because of the existing statutory sctup, the Cabinet alone cannot appoint a royal commission to investigate freight. mics but can name one to deal with other aspects of rail transportation.

2, Parliament itself could ap- point an ail-embracing ccrn- hiission by revising statutes that now are a barrier to such a body.

The Cabinet is still considering the question of how to proceed in the case, it was learned,

Average Family Spends $103 For Shoes Annually

OTTAWA, Sept. 1 -— (OP) — The boot and shoe industry is doing "extraordinarily well," l-LA. Dyde, Prices Commission counsel, said today in reply to a witness who sought to refer to pie-war hard times.

"It had a very good time dur- ing the war — a very good time," Mr. Dywic told Frank Millington, secretary of the Shoe Manufact- urers‘ Association of Canada. "Don't drive us beck on this old 1960s business.

“You give me the opening for saying that I think the shoe in- dusii-y is doing extraordinarily well."

He made his statement as the Commission neared the end of its three weeks‘ investigation of the boot and slice industry in the ccurse of which it has examined ianners, shoe manufacturers and retailers on their costs and prof- its.

Mr, Mlilington had questioned the justice of a Government of- ficials statement earlier that the average price of shoes had ‘nearly doubled.

The Romanian Foreign Minis- ter was quoted as making hcr statements during the Daiiublim conference at Belgrade two weeks ago. At that time Yugoslav lead- ers were saying the breach could be bridged in only two ways-by removal of Tito from power, or by a change among the Comin- form's policy makers.
