Plan Daily Train Service Across Nfld. This Winter

ST. JOHN'S Jfld. (CPL Cans-v dlan National Railways will oper- ate a daily passenger train ser- vice across Newfoundland during the winter this year for the first time.

The daily service. formerly main tained only during summer months. was first scheduled to re- vert back to three trains a week at the end of last September. it was first extended to Jan 5, then to the end of next September.

E.J. Cooke. manager of the Newfoundland Division of the ON. K. says the daily train improves service to customers but can- not be justified economically.

He says passenger revenues fell off 9.6 per cent in the first seven months of I955 and the trend con- tinued into 1956 then passenger re- venues decreased 14 per cent dur- ing the first seven months of the year.

Eisenhower Asks Power To

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

An emergency was declared in Saint John, NB... Saturday as the Canadian Pacific Raiway strike approached a new week with no settlement in sight.

The Saint John emergency was proclaimed at a special meeting of the city's common council. At the same time council members decided to call on other city coun- cils and trade boards in the Mari- times to exert pressure for govern- ment intervention in the rail dis- pute.

Speakers at the meeting said the tie-up is "the worst blow suffered by the port of Saint John in the last 35 years."

A shipping company spokesman said the goodwill of the port is being seriously damaged and if the sirike continued business may never return. Longshoruuuu were still at work but another shipping spokesman said the west side wa- terfront would ”look like a ghost town" by Tuesday.

Elsewhere the country seemed to be weathering the strike with- out serious effects.

U. S. Seeks Not Violence But Peace, Congress is Informed

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres- ident Eisenhower Saturday asked Congress to give him broad au- thority involving both troops and dollars to defend the Middle East against armed aggression by what he called the "ambitious despots" of "power-hungry" Communism.

Eisenhower emphasized. how- ever, that "we seek no violence. but peace." He said Russia need have no fear from the United States in the Middle East or else- lwhere "so long as its rulers do not themselves first resort to ag- gression."

The president underscored the importance of his message to the legislators by delivering it in per- son to a combined Senate-House of Representatives session with overflowing galllcries and to the world by television and radio.

DEFINE STAND

Specifically. asked congress to co-operate in telling friendly and um .... , .ountrles authorizing:

1. Use of "the armed forces of the United States as he deems necessary to secure and protect the territorial integrity and polit- ical l dependence" o' any Middle East countries ”against over ar- med aggression from any nation controlled by international Com- munism." That would be done only if such help was requested by the endangered country and "subject to the overriding author- ity of the United Nations Security Council."

2. U. S. onomic aid to help the Middle East develop the econ- omic strength necessary to the maintenance of national independ-

Experience shows that indirect aggression rarely if ever succeeds where there is reason- ably security against direct ag- gression; where the government possesses loyal security forces. and where economic conditions are such as not to make Commu- nlsm seem an attractive alter- native... .-

MAY BE T00 BROAD

While Eisenhower offered no di- rect plan for meeting indirect ag- gression. such as psychological or economic infiltration by the Com- munists. his words were designed to meet in some measure. at least advance plaints on that score from some members of Congress. They had said that infiltration. not outright aggression. was the prime danger, and that the Eisen- hower program as outlined earlier this week did not meet this menace.

There are unmistakable signs that many influential le gia- lators regard the lines of author- ity sought by the president as too broad and propose to tighten them

ill)-

This seems lilo-:ly to take the form in the Senate of a move to divorce the military and economic aspects of the program and to spell out some limitations on both.

Republicans as well as Dem- ocrats made it clear that Con- gress wants more information than the president gave in his per- sonal appearance.

Where. exactly, would the U. S. draw a line in the dust of the Middle East and tell the lieds it means war if they cross? What sort of act would trigger a war? REFER TO UN

That question of where the United Nations fits into the pic- ture also is a matter of congres- sional concern.

'isenhower said that "our thoughts naturally turn to the United Nations as a protector of small natlons." in the case of Hungary. he said. the Soviet Union vetoed Security Council ac- tion and showed "callous indiffer- ence" to the ictommendations and censure of the General As-
