Report Heavy Holiday Traffic Al Borden

One of the heaviest 24th of May traffic movements in the history of the Province saw huge nlleups of cars at Borden waiting to make the crossing to cope Tormentine. Late yesterday afternoon the old car ferry S. S. Prince Edward Is- land had a backlog of over 100 automobiles waiting at the pier on this side.

It was planned to make extra trips last night to clear up the traffic and it was also arranged to have the dining room on the ship open all night to take care of the requirements of travellers.

There were comparatively few automobiles remaining on the Cape Tor-mentlne side during yesterday afternoon and it was thought prob- able that they might be ferried in "one trip.

The fine weather enjoyed here and the long holiday weekend com- bined to swell the numbers of those seeking to cross the Strait of North- umberland after a brief visit here. At the same time the traffic pileup was caused in some measure by the limited capacity of the old ferry which is back in service while the M.V. Abegweit is in drydock at Halifax for its annual overhaul. Date of the return to service of the Abegweit is still unknown.

Iiussia Makes New Demand For 4-Powergrley

By GEORGE IOULTWOOD

BONN. May 25 - A pesce con- tract giving West Germany enough freedom to enter an armed alliance with the West was completed here today. Last-Minute French objec- tions were overcome after long hours of negotiation.

The contract is to be aimed Monday by the Bi! Three foreign ministers and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in a. ceremony starting at 10 A. M. (5 A. M. E.D.T.). '

But on the very,day the historic document was completed. the Bus- sians made their third demand in three months for a four-power con- ference to frame a. peace treaty for a united and "completely sovereign" Germany.

The West German pact - a par- tial peace treaty for only part of the former enemy Reich - will not -be published until after the signing ceremony. It will end the occupation. grant the federal re- public near sovereignty and, com- bined with the six-country treaty to create a million-man European srrny with 400.000 Germans in it. bind the 48.000000 Germans west of the Iron Curtain to free Bur- ope. The latter treaty is slated for signature in Paris Tuesday.

Neither pact is effective until ratified and both face parliament- MIV battles. especially in Bonn and Paris. where strong political groups oppose the projects.

In two days of meetings here. Britain's Anthony Eden. France's Robert Schuman. the United States' Dean Acheson and the German ironed out the last few points blocking completion of the pact, in negotiation a year. , I

-Last-minute French denfsnds which for a time threatened to block the signing were virtually settled today. The negotiators ag- reed on the wording of in Anglo- Ameriosn guarantee to prevent Germany breaking out of the Eur- opean srmv and becoming again a menace to her neighbors. Allied officials were confident it would quiet French fears.

Mr. Mcnure doubted if the House was given the correct fig- ures for freight hauled.

The C.N.R. secures a large" amount of freight that originates in P. E. I. and they get it for nothing. so to speak. because they have not one nickel invested in the boat or anything else in connec- tion with it." he continued.

"It is a. connecting line that brings in a big revenue. A high- er percentage of the freight charge should be credited to the boat than merely on the basis of car- riage of freight for a distance of eight or nine miles.”

CiaxionTiay Make Statement in Houseloday

By William Jordon

KOJE ISLAND. May 26-(AP)- A company of tough Canadian paratroopers started for what they thought was a secret mission and ended up in the security force on this riot-torn, prisoner-of-war is- land. The company, a unit of the Royal Canadian Regiment, arrived on Koje today. They marched smartly ashore from a landing craft and boarded trucks for their camp site. i I (In Ottawa Saturday Defence Minister Brooke Ciaxton of Can- ada. said a statement on the Kojc Island duties of the Canadians may be made Monday, possibly in the House of Commons. Asked if Ottawa. was consulted before the Canadian troops were ordered to Koje. Ciaxton replied: "That will be one of the things which will be covered in the statement-if there is a. statement-on Monday.") First ashore was the unit com- mander, Major E.L. Cohen of Pet- swaws, Cat. The mustached major and his troops had been aboard the landing craft since early Saturday.

The Canadians were accompani- ed by a company from the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. The two units will join the security force at this United Nations P.0. W. camp where more than 00.000 Communist-led prisoners have held control inside Koje's barbed-wire enclosures for several weeks.

Was Lei-Down

Rough, tough and battle-wise, the Canadians were prepared for a different kind of job when they were put on the alert and ordered to move.

"we though it was some kind of secret mission. perhaps something behind enemy lines," Cohen said. "But I heard where we were bound Just before we left and i: told the then after we boarde(r1.'lfr1.rsin."

Fortmost of "the merr-thrasaign- ment was a. let-down.

Loaded with full battle sear, packs and weapons. the red-beret- ed Canadian troops were introduc- ed qulckly to their job. As they passed icompound 62, the enemy prisoners sang a. lusty welcome and waved North Korean flags. But the welcome song was a Commun- ist chant shouted at the direction of a. Red "choirma.ster."

Moved to their new bivouac area near another compound, there was more waiting for the Canadian troopers. They used the time to play baseball, to nap in the warm
