Attlee was seen 0151 by Foreign Secretary Bevin and Viscount Ad- dison, Labor Party leader in the House of Lords.

Before leaving, the Prime Min- ister told newspapermen:

"I am looking forward to the meeting with Mr. Truman. It is almost exactly five years since I last saw him, and it is high time for another meeting.

To Survey Situation .

”I am not going to talk about any particular facet of the many prcnble-ms which the world is fac- ing. But I want to survey the whole scene as it is now and as it may be in the future.

”Thcsc talks are not in the na- ture 0-! an international conference. They are an exchange of views between man and man, and I am sure such an exchange can only re- suit in good for the cause which we all have at heart-peace of the world."

Asked if he were optimistic about the outcome of the talks. Attlee said:

”I am always sclberly optimistic about everything."

Asked if he thought it possible to find a basis to work on for the fuiiire, Attlee answered: ''I hope so' -

3.000 Hoiifeless When Bow River Burst Baidts

By GRAHAM TROTTER.

CAIJGARY, Alt.a., Dec. 3 .- (CP) - This city glrdcd itself tonight for a second onslaught of the win- her flood which made 3,000 people homeless or stranded and caused untold property damage Friday night.

Men and machines worked fever- ishly around the clock to throw up ice and earthen dikes along the low-lying banks of the lee-choked Bow River.

Only trickles of water seeped over the banks Saturday but city offic- ials and police, maintaining a con- stant patrol of the river banks. warned that the danger cf further flcoding on Friday's precedent- shattered scale was not past.

Solid Dam of fee

A solid dam of ice - some say it is at least 1-5 feet thick in places .. blocks the Bow at its junction with the Elbow River in East 'Cal- gary.

Tile flood danger increases as this dam. bolstered hourly by a con- stant stream of ice washing down the river. builds up back through the city. it now extends past two of the city's three main bridges and into West Calgary.

Its normal channels blocked, the swollen Bow jumped its banks in East Calgary with startling sud- deriness Friday. It poured four feet or more of water and ice over 23 city blccks to within one block of tlth Avenue, the main thorough- fare.

llunilreds Trapped

it all happened within minutes. Hundreds of persons were trapped in their homes as the icy water washed into basement and lapped over ground floors. They were res-

Premier Wi

OTTAWA. Ont. Dec. 3 - (Spe-

cial) - Cont-iniious communica- tion between P. E. l. and the main- land will be a leading subject raised by Premier .1. Walter Jones at the Dominion-Provincial Con- ference this week, it was learned today. i The Premier already has men- tioned the failure of communica- -tions between the Island and New Brunswick during the railway strike. blaming the Dominion Gov- ern-men't for this failure. He is ex- pected to insist either on a special agreement with the Union where- by the ferries will run, strike or no strike. or formation of a special Ferries Commission on which both P. E. I. and the Dominion would be represented.

The Premier intends to go all out on this question, it was learn-

....j:Z.nn,..,.n:,.,n, Union might delay action to insure

railway peace even after the Kel- lock report is received.

It is understood the Premier will recall that both J. L. Iisley and George Drew said in 1946 that P. E. I. is in a special position and is entitled to special financial con- sideration.' and it is expected he will use this to argue for an in-1 creased swbsidy to P. E. 1.

During the sittings in Ottawa the P. E. I. delegation will visit Works Minister Fournier, asking an early start on the Federal Building in Charlottetown, and Resources Minister Winters, seek- ing aid for the building of bridges on the Trans-Canada Highway route on the island.

It is also expected there will be informal discussions with Agri- culture Minis-ter Gardiner on the

Propaganda

BERLIN, Dec. Ii-(AP) -West Berlin's voters dealt. a new hlow at Communism today with a turn- out at the polls that broke all post-war records. .

The City Election Bureau nn-1 nounced that 89.6 per cent of the Voters took part in balloting to elect a city government for the next four years in the American. British and French sectors. iThe swarm of ballots cast de- spite snow and cold made a mockery out of Communist de- mands that the Western Berlin- ers boycott the election on the grounds that Ml eight parties presenting candidates were "Am- erlcan war parties.”

The Election Bureau said an unofficial count showed 1.491.816 ballots cast in the 1.569 districts. There were 1.664.686 eligible vot- ers. This surpassed the 1949 elec- tions when 86.3 per cent of West Berlin. surrounded by the Soviet blockads and fed only by the Western Allies airlift. trooped to the polls to show defiance of the Kremlin. -

The election was conducted without serious disturbance. Last week police arrested 303 Com- munist, agitators trying to work up boycott fever in West Berlin.

The Communist press and radio claimed at first the West Ber- liners were heedlng their warn- ing not to vote. Later they ne- eused the police and Western authorities oft hurriedly trans- porting thousands to vote.

First scattered returns. from old line socialist districts, gave Mayor Ernest Renter's Social Democratic Party a big. lead. On the basis of these returns. the party was tripling its strength over the traditional runners-up in Berlin-Chancellor Konrad Ad- enaiier's Christian Democratic Union. -

The dwelling was located on Phillips Street. in the heart of the village.
