The dulaw‘bridge—dactunlly it op- erates on an elevator principle rather than unfolding—had been opened to let a dredge through.

Two lead diesels of the train went to the bottom of the bay dragging the first two coaches with them. The first coach was an empty—“deadhead” in rail- way language. The second car- ried passengers.

_ l E h I By ALAN HARVEY

Canadian Press Staff Writer

MONTREAL (CP) -— The new Commonwealth looked beseech- ingly to the old Monday at the formal opening of two weeks of intensive trade talks.

Kindergarten nations, repre- senting the cocoa farmers of Ghana and the rubber planters of Malaya, dwelt on the pres-Eng need for development capital as

v the big Conmlonwealth trade and

economic conference held its first plenary session. ,

Joined by India and‘ Pakistan and colonies like Sierra Leone and Tanganyika, they ‘ coupled their capital demands with nerv- ous reminders of the sharp ef- fects a North American recession has upon producers of, primary products. Finance Minister Mac- Intyre representing the Federa- tion of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, said the prwent “phase” in in— dustrial growth has gravely af- fected Commonwealth countries

whose standards of living hinge

on raw material exports.

LESS PESSIMISTIC

Minister Fleming of Canada, playing a key role as conference chairman, was less pessimistic about world trading conditions and‘thus perhaps urn- consciously emphasised the differ- ence of approach among ad- vanced and underdeveloped coun- tries. ,/ Mr. Fleming said “we find our- sgrlve‘é in"! period of economic . . . . m4...“ .

The Need For Capital

Sixteen statements were read at the first public session, held in the basswood-panelled and pine- beamed convention hall of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Sliding doors opened to allow newspaper men to view the proceedings, their last look until the confer- ence ends Sept. 26.

At a closed afternoon session a committee under Britain’s Sir John Coulson was set up to study the European free trade area.

Derick Heathcoat Amory, Brit- ain’s treasury chief and head of the UK. delegation, restated his country's position on conventin- i-ty, saying that this remains the objective but that Britain must decide the pace at which it moves toward that goal.

Thirty-two delegates,- represent- ing 660,000,000 people in 1-1 inde- pendent nations and six colonial dependencies sat around a green baize table to hear the opening address of Welcome by Mr. Flem- after which delegates spoke in turn.

A remarkable harmony of ‘. Eews was displayed, causing Mr. Fleming to remark afterwards to a reporter that he was “very pleased" with the general tone of the speeches. ’

OTTAWA (OP) — One woman and three men were nominated Monday for Sept. 29 House of Commons byelections.

The woman was Progressive Conservative J can Casselman, seeking the Grenville - Dundas (Ont) constituency vacated by the May 11 death of her husband, A. Clair Casselnlan.

She would be the second woman member of the Commons, joining Mrs. Ellen Fairclough, minister of immigration and citizenship.

liisasler .

It was the worst Jersey. rail dis- aster since a. 1951 plunge of a Pennsylvania Railroad train from a trestle at Woodbrid-ge took 86 lives. One of Monday's survivors, by coincidence, survived that tragedy also. He was G. H. Plan- itz of Fair Haven, N.J. .

The train, No.. 3314, pulled out of Bay Head, a North Jersey shore resort, at 8:28 a.m., head- ing for Jersey City. There com- muters to New York board re - lies to cross the Hudson River.

The height of the morning rush hour was past, or else the train might have carried a heavier hu- man cargo.

HEADS FOR BAYONNE ,

The train moved routinely out of Elimbethpont, N.J., at 9:57 am. toward its heart stop, Bay- onne, just six nnnutes away over the 1% - mile - long bridge that spans Newamk Bay in the area.

it came rattling onto the bridge toward the 216-foot drawbridge, a minute away from its next stop.

A tramp ship moved lazily across the silvery surface of the bay.

The dredge, which 3had cleared the dra‘wlbridge moments before, was not visible to the eyes of the passengers in the train. The draw- bridge had started to come down. As it moved toward alignment with the bed of the blid-ge, its huge cement counterweights be- gan moving up. Thus the path of the train was unimpeded by the barrier of cement that blocked the tracks when the bridge was wide open.

The engineer, Lloyd Wilburn of Red Bank, NJ, sensed or saw his predicament at the last min- ute, slamming on his brakes when it was too late. But his side of the story must go untold—«his body was found floating a. quarter mile from the disaster scene, his mstorman’s gloves still on his hands. '

The constituency she is after has been rock-bound Conservative for generations. »

The personabale and photogenic Mrs. Casselman will be opposed by Mark Salmon, Liberal, mayor of Prescott.

In the other byelection—Que— bec’s Montmagnyl’lslet—the op- ponents will be Louis Fortin, Pro- gressive Conservative, and Ber- nardin Bla-nchet, Liberal.

They are contesting a seat opened by the resignation of Jean Lesage from the Commons to be- come“ Quebec provincial Liberal leader. Mr. Lesage is the former minister of northern affairs and national resources.

MONTREAL —- G. s. Vcnkata- char, India’s newly appointed high commissioner to Ottawa, ar-

lions of pounds which she re- quires to buy her imports.

“It has hurt—and it will hurt more severely still—those coun- tries which supply those im- ports.” I

The criticism was aimed di- rectly at Canada, which bars cheap New Zealand butter, cheese and dried milk powder to protect price - supported domestic mar- kets. _ _

Mr. Nordmeyer's statement im- plied possible retaliatory action by New Zealand through import controls. About one-quarter of the country’s income is derived from dairy products.

Mr. Fleming, asked for com- ment, said such statements are "bound" to arise at Common- wealth conferences. 'The subject is expected to be threshed out in bilateral talks.

Middle

By LLOYD McDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP)

The 13th General Assembly of the United Nations convenes Tuesday under the shadow of the crisis in the Far East.

While there was no solid indica- tion on the eve of the meeting on just what specific grounds the Formosa-Quemoy problem will be thrown into the world forum, the question of Nationalist verSus Communist China is expected to

to last until mid-December. '

The problem could arise at the very~outset with a renewed de mand by the Soviet bloc for the seating of Peiping’s representa‘ tives in the UN and the ouster of the Nationalist delegation which holds one of the five big - power seats in the security council. But this expected demand is not re- garded as likely to upset the pat- tern of previous years when the assembly repeatedly turned it down; '

in the opening debate at an early stage.

The external affairs minister told Parliament in Ottawa shortly after the Quemoy shooting re- sumed that Canada had no com- mitment to assist the US. there l* the event of it direct outbreak, and Britain has given much the some indication.

The Russians have given no specific advance notice of what Foreign Minister Gromyko plans to put before the assembly.

State Secretary Dulles is ex- pected to outline American policy to the assembly on Thursday, but again t e has been no indica- tion whether he will merely de< tend the U.S. position or call on the assembly to condemn the Red Chinese shooting war against Quemoy.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Another matter of concern to the US. is the election during Tuesday’s opening session of the assembly president to succeed Sir Leslie Munro of New Zea-land whose term expires with the offi- cial end of the 12th assembly.

Last September Sir Leslie’s Section was unanimous in the as- semtbiy’s secret ballot after For- eign Minister Charles Malik of Lebanon had stepped down in fa- vor of the Commonwealth candi- date, and at that time it was as- sumed that Malik, as s represent- ative of the Arab world, would not be opposed shalld he stand fof president of the 19th assem‘
