St. Laurent Is Given Rousing Reception At Ottawa; Cabinet Meets

By ITARCY UDONNELI.

OTTAWA, June N - (c?) _ Prime Minister 5t. Laurent, the smile of victory still on his face, was given s. rousing reception on his arrival here today and almost immediately plunged into work do- layed by the Federal general elec- tion campaign.

He went to his East Block office shortly after his arrival and after attending a brief reception by his staff, he settled down at. his desk to start on a backlog of work.

He held an afternoon meeting of the Cabinet. and later called on Viscount Alexander. the Governor General.

It was learned there was no spe- Clfll slznlficance attached to the visit. A member of the Prime‘ Min- ister's staff said he believed it was customary for a Government lead- er to call on the Govemor-General is; soon after an election as poss-

B.

It is not necess ry, he said. for a Prime Minister to inform tne Governor General officially of the results at the polls, but "1 pfegumg he (Mr. St. Laurent) will let him know that he won."

The staff member ss.id it is not necessary for members of the Cab- inet, all re-elected in Monday's general election, to be resworn by the Governor General. Only new appointees to the Cabinet have to be sworn.

About a. dozen of the 20 Cabinet Ministers were in the Capital for the meetinB. the first since last Mflildily- N0 asenda 0f the busin- ess to be discussed was drawn up before the meeting.

C.(I.F. May Win Meiforfjding

PRINCE ALBERT, Sank, June 29 —(CP)—The possibility arose today that the C.C.C.F. might win Mel- fort constituency Where Liberal T. R. MacNutt appeared to have been elected in Monday's Dominion election. .

Results announced today for 128 of the constituency's 132 polls gave P. E. Wr ht, C.C.F., 7,078 votes, Mr. MacN tt 7.036 and A, M. Camp- bcll, Progressive Conservative, 2,- 226. Election night returns from 100 polls were: Campbell 1.989; Mec- Nutt 6,066; Wright 5.713. Mr. Wright held the scat in the last House.

Should the C.C.l". take the seat when the count is complete it would give them 14 seats in the House and make the standing of other parties: Liberal, 191; Pro- gressive Conservative, 42; Social Credit, 10; Independent, 4: Inde-

U. S. Reciprocal Trade Act Expires Al Midnight Today

WASHINGTON. June 20 — (AP)

The Reciprocal Trade Act, founded by Cordell Hull in 1034, expires tomorrow midnight in the midst of United States negotia- tions with 30 other countries for new tariff - cutting agreements.

The lapse of this law will auto- matically take away President Truman's power to negotiate trade agreements with foreign govern- ments,

Top administration officials ex- pressed confidcnce, however, that Congress will revive the President's tariff-cutting authority within a month. '

The approaching hpse has caus- ed some concern among foreign countries who fear this may mean the United States is preparing to back down on its previously-ex- pressed determination to lead the world toward more liberal trading arrangements.

Bullets from the .22 rifle, fired sniper-like from a barn 250 feet away, passed through McQualdu head and heart, knocking him from thehayrack on which he was work- ing. Ross was shot through the groin, right leg and left arm and is in a Kingston hospital in serious but not critical condition.

Harry Thompson, sitting in his automobile near the barn on tho McQuaid farm, missed being killed when a bullet was fired through the back of his car. He picked up the wounded Ross and drove him to a nearby farmhouse for first aid.

The shooting was somewhat sim- ‘ilar to the slaying in Mission, B.C.. where a farmer, still sought by P0- llce, killed two women in an argu- ment over form property.

Thompson notified police Ind a dozen officers from the Belleville- Napanee area dashed to the scene to lurch for Childs. The ycumz farmhand was found, however, by two farm nelahhorl. who came 0" him as he walked, unarmed, down the highway. They took him to po- lice headquarters in Napanee.

The shooting is laid by police to have followed a day of firing in the bush with I10 rounds of ammuni- tion purchased in Selby yesterday. Childs had some reputation as o sharpshooter in the tiny vllllli where he had been known slnos last March when he wont to work

Canadians Prepare For A Big Birthday Party Tomorrow} Newfoundland Legislature ScheduledTo Open July 11

Heavy TrhIfic Expected All - Over Dominion

(By The Canadian Press) Canadians by the millions are preparing for a big birthday

party.

With July 1—the 82nd annivers- ary of confederation-falling on a Friday, the lid is off for a big Dominion Day week-end. Most businesses will also shut up shop Saturday, leaving the way clear for programs of sports, fishing trips, travelling-or just relaxing.

The rush for train, bus and air line tickets indicates thousands of city-dwellers plan to get away from it all on the summer's first

The Air Force at Summerside announced last evening that AC1 Raymond Candy, 20, of Fernie, B. C., who suffered a brain injury in a fall from a truck in Summer- side last evening, died in the Lahey Clinic, Boston, at 11.30 yes- terday morning. Following the accident the airman had been taken to the Prince County Hos- pital where he was examined by the station doctor, Dr. G. J. Gal- lant, and. other members of the hospital medical staff. It was as- certained that he had a serious brain injury and that he should have the immediate services of a brain surgeon.

plans to fly- him" to where the necessary treatment could be ob- tained. First it was decided to take him to Montreal but ‘the weather between Summerside and that city was so bad that it would have caused great suffering to the patient to fly through it. Plans were then made to take him to Boston and Sunday morning a Dakota took off from the Sum- merside Airport with the injured man, accompanied by Dr. Gallant and Dr. Clair Tsnton of Summer- side.

Officials at the airport last eve- ning said that what then happen- cd is a perfect example of the degree of cooperation in an emer- gency that is obtainable on the airways and on this occasion was of an international nature. As there was not sufficient oxygen available at Summerside the plane landed at Bangor, Maine, where the necessary supply was all ready. On arrival at Boston an ambulance with police escort was on hand to rush the man to hos- pital where one of the foremost brain surgeons on the continent and his staff were waiting to per- ‘ form the operation. Unfortunately it was not successful.

The accident occurred about eight o'clock Saturday evening_ when AC. Candy and a chum hit- ched a ride on a truck going back to the airport. As they rounded a , curve on a rough stretch of pave- ment on Water Street West Can- dy. who was on the back of the vehicle. lost his hold and fell off unto the pavement.

"A number of potato growers who had taken advantage of the pota- to price support programme have bought their stock back from the Board and have shipped to regular markets, returning their payments to treasury,“ stated Mr. S. G. Pep- pin, District Inspector of Seed Potato Certification Service in an interview yesterday. Figures are not available as to the quantity thus being disposed of.

In recent weeks, approximately half a million dollars has been sent to most of the growers whose applications were accepted and bins measured, Mr. Peppin and his staff are now closing out the books.

Scores Search For Missing Ouebec Youth

VAL D'Olt, Quebec, Juno I — Scores of experienced men searched bush country today for 16-year-old Gillls Grey although half the towns- people were-openly voicing opinion that the youngster is not lost.

Police were reported stopping cars in this Northwestern Quebec section of the Rouyn-Montreal highway just in case young Grey actually ls safe and should be head- ing elsewhere.

But there is not the slightest slackening of the search. An esti- mated total of 200 men worked Ln relays of 60 to 70. fighting black flies as each group scoured desig- nated areas.

Search leaders held to the view the boy has been lost since he set out from home Saturday. At. that time he said he was 80in! fishing in nearby Lake Blouin. He was without money and was to have taken a fob at Lamsque Mines Mon- day.

Finding of his brown jacket in the bush yesterday spurred the searchers but although leaplhnes owned by mining companies con- tinued sweeplng over the area and the search nurnberl grew, no new clues were turned up today.

The weather remained clear and hot for pert of the day and then the sky became overcast.

Reports that an RCMP. dog was being brought in were discounted today when it was said word from Ottawa headquart... told the

ex‘ “ -' holiday week-end.

The weatherman says it's a lit- tle early yet to forecast the week- end weather accurately. But early reports promise fine weather a- cross the Dominion, with condit- ions perhaps unsettled in the West.

The United States celebrates its Independence Day Monday so the holiday traffic will be a two-way business. While thousands of Can- adians journey south of the bor- der, tourist officials say record numbers of Americans are expect- ed to teem into Canada to celeb- rate the 273rd anniversary of the U. S. declaration of independence.

The Highway Ministers of both Ontario and Nova Scoiia already have gone on record with pleas to motorists to drive carefully.

It's the first Dominion Day to

'be observed by Newfoundland but there's a sober note to celebrat- ions in Canada's newest Province. For the Newfoundlander, July 1 is a day of mourning for war dead. In the First World War an island group was almost wiped out on that day in the battle of the Somme. Big sports programs are plan- ned in the other three Maritime Provinces, including horse-racing at Summcrside, P.E. I.

Travel will be heavy in Quebec with Montrealers heading for the coolness of the Laurentians. Trans-Canada Airlines are adding

LONDON, Juno 29—-(AP)-Bri- tons tonight were reported to be facing a new financial shock in the form of an estimated 240,000,000 to £50.000.000 drop in the gold and dollar reserves of the United King- dom. This is $160,000,000 to $200,000,000, An official source gave out the information that bad news awaits the country when Sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of the quer, announces next week just how much Britain's reserves have declined during the three months ending tomorrow. Brithainfls reserves stood a little way under the £500.000.000 Govern- ment-set danger-line at the turn of the year. During the first quarter they sagged by £20,000,000. The informant said: “The Govern. ment was not much worried by that
