Speculate Hydrogen Bomb

LIMA. 0.. Nov. 10 -(AP) - A mile-wide island disappeared in a recent atomic or hydrogen bomb explosion at Enlwetok in the Pacific, an eye-witness wrote Lima relatives.

The unidentified eye-witness didn't say he wmtched the first ox- piosion of a hydrogen bomb but the Lima News, which published the letter in a. copyrighted story. said "it is apparent that the ex- plosion he felt ' and saw was America's first experiment with a hydrogen bomb."

The man wrote that he watched use explosion from 30.4 miles away but that heat from the bomb was 130 degrees when it reached him. He said flame two miles wide shot five miles into the air.

A 20-mile-wide mushroom drew thousands of tons of earth into the sky. It looked like a giant cauli- flower. the man said.

Hopes Move Will Smooth Way Forlruce

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.. Nov l0-(CPI-Trygve Lie today sub- mitted his resignation as secretary- general of the United Nations.

Lie made his resignation public in a. plenary session of the Gen- eral Assembly. He said he had waited until the foreign minin- ters of alil the five great powers were present to do so.

With them present, Lie said, it might be easier to get the unani- mous agleement among the five which is necessary to appoint a successor.

Opposed By Russians

Lie. who has been violently op- posed by the Russians and not re- cognized by them. said he did not want to stand in the way in any manner of reaching a truce in Korea.

He asked that a successor chosen immediately.

Lie said he decided last sum- mer to resign. He reminded the delegates from 60 countries that he had wanted to resign at the expiration of his first five-year term in 1950. He pointed out that he had stayed on because Com- munist aggression in Korea had created circumstances which many felt made it neceuary.

Possible Succeseo -

Most prominently mentioned successors are Aarlos Romulo of the Philippines, Luis Padilla Ner- vo of Mexico, Nasrollah Enteaarn of Iran and the present.assemb'y psClldCnlJ, Lester Pearson of Can- ada, who presided at today's as- sembly session.

It was not known whether Pear- son. Canada's external affairs minister, or the Canadian Gov- ernment would allow his name to be but forgerd if,some delegation here decide to suggest him as.the new secretary-general.

In me, when Lie was chosen as secretary - general, Pearson's name had been put forward but had been rejected by the Rus- sians. diplomatic sources said. .

OTTAWA, Nov. 10-(Ci-")--Prm vincial government counsel tod1y expressed fears concerning the effect of a railway proposal for iii radical change in the system of setting Canada's freight rates.

Arguing procedure in hearing the application. provincial lawyers told the Board of Transport Com- misaioners that the proposed method would be a cause of ser- ious public concern and would re- sult in a "disastrous burden" of higher freigght rates.

Declaring it would send up rates by as much as 33 per cent. they said they will resist it with every resource. The lawyers rep- resented eight provinces-all ex- cept Ontario and Quebec.

Ask Early Action

Counsel for the Canadian Paci- fic Railway. chief advocate of the change, said it wants revenue "relief" through the application and that delay before the board- sought by the provinces-would be "tantamount to a denial of justice" to the railways.

Ohlnese Nationalists Stage Air Raids?

HONG KONG. Nov. 11 - (Tuesday) - (AP) - Travel- lers from Maoau and Ohinese press reports Monday both told

Var a raid lost Friday byrive unidentified planes in the Pearl River estuary-gateway to Can- ton. '

It was the third time in 10 days that reports of war action filtered out of this strategic re- gion near both British Hong Kong and Portuguese Macsu. It gave emphasis to reports that the Chinese Nationalists on Formosa noware strong enough to challenge certain Commun- ist shore installations along the South China coast.

Outside of the reports that both air and naval action have taken place. details were seen- ty.

The views were expressed dur- ing discussion of procedure to be followed in hearing the case. This was settle late in the day and tomorrow the C.P.R. will begin submission of evidence in sup- port of the rimngc.

That company, with the con- currence of the other railways. has asked the board for the pro- posed new system. At present. rates are set on the basis of the current financial requirements of

the "yardstick" C. P. R. an dg. termined by the board from Lime to time.

The railways now ask that the board determine the net rail in- vestment of the C.F.R. and allow it to earn a ”falr return" on this amount. The C. P. R. itself con- siders as fair a return of 6 112 per cent on an investment base of 51.146.000.000, which would allow it rail earnings of 814,- 000.000 a year. The board now al- lows it a top earnings figure of 546,600,000.

Vishinsky- Renews Demand For All Prisoners

By Norman Altstedter Canadian Press Staff Writer UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.. Nov.

10-(OP).--Russia today rejected two compromise proposals for solving the war-prisoner lune

blocking a Korean cease-fire.

Foreign Minister Andrei Vishin- sky told the political committee of the United Assembly that Russia will "never budge" from its view that the Geneva Convention must be complied with in any solution of the problem.

No Favorable Sign

for the United States delegation said Vishinsky gave no favorable indication of Communist willingness to reach an agreement. Other Western delegates agreed there was no new hope from Vishlnsky's speech but they noted he had not come to grips with other proposals pending in the U. N. which seek a way out of the deadlock.

The Geneva Convention says prisoners should be Weleased and repatriated” on cessation of hostil- ities. The Communists have argued so far this means all prisoners. The U. N. command insists it will not use force to repatri te any prisoner and thousands ha c indic- ated they would fight repatriation.

Meanwhile. Secretary - General Trygve Lie submitted his resigna- lion from the U. N. effective when the assembly appoints a successor. The ll-member Security Council, where the five big powers must agree unanimously on a candidate, must first submit a recommendat- ion to the assembly on Lie's suc-

A spokesman

cgssor. Among names being mentioned as possible new secretary-general

is that of assembly president L. 3. Pearson who was alongside Lie when he made his dramatic resignation speech before the as- sembiy.

I French View

Foreign Minister Robert Schu- man told the assembly in France's major policy address that a. solut- ion to Korea can be found only on the basis of "liberation of all prisoners”, excluding all methods of forced repatriation or forced retention."

Almost all of Schumanis speech dealt with France's sharp object- ion i.o any U. N. discussion of the Asian-Arab demand for independ- ence of the French protectorates of Tunisia and Morocco. llc said the U. N. is endangering its very ex- istence in taking up the questions.

Although Vishinsky spoke for two hours and 42 minutes elaborat- ing Russian views, he mentioned only one of the many questions which western delegates-including Health Minister Paul Martin of Canada-have tossed at him during the last 10 days.

To the question of whether Rus-

sin insists on repatriation by force. Vishinsky said the query was just an attempt to evade what he called "the real issue" of forced screening and detention. The Russian submitted a revised resolution spelling out the details of a proposed new Korean com- mission which would seek a ”peace- ful settlement" in Korea. The Western Powers have objected to the Russian proposal on the ground it would allow discussion of politi- cal problems before a cease-fire.

Proposed Commission

The new 'Russian resolution names these countries to the com- mission: The U. S., Britain. France. Russia. Communist China. India. Burma. Switzerland, Czechoslo- vakia. North Korea and

IDNDON. Nov. 10 -(AP) - Prime Minister Churchill tonight accused Russia of blocking peace in Korea in an attempt to scatter the strength of the free world.

Churchill. delivered a major for- eign policy address at the annual Lord Mayor's banquet, said he is anxious for peace in Korea but not "at the price of dishonor."

”It would be a dishonor." he continued. "to send thousands of helpless prisoners of war back by force to be massacred by the Chin- ese Government. which boasts it has actually rid itself of 2,600,000 of its own people."

Churchill declared that "every kind of reasonable proposal has been made by the Allies.

”There has been no doubt that so far it has been the policy of Mos- cow-for reasons which are obvious -to prevent an agreement from being reached. All these are mat- ters of grave concern.

He said "there is no doubt that the absorption of so large a pro- portion of American and United Nations resources in the Far East is to the advantage of Moscow and of the Communist movement as a whole."

That. he said. his why the Krem- lin ordered the original aggression to begin and that was why, after President Truman had effectively marshalled the United Nations to

repel it. the so-called truce talks have dragged out over more than a year.

"It is a convenient way of dis- persing the strength of the free world and preventing ar at least.

Scene of Pomp and ljic
