American Sub Claims Record

PORTLAND, England (AP)- The new American “nuclear sub- marine Skate surfaced’ in Port- land haiiborwednesday with a record for underwater eastward crossing of the Atlantkz.’

The sleek, lead-colored craft did it in eight days, 11 hours in a shakedown cruise in which, the skipper said, absolutely nothing went wrong.

The Ska.te surfaced for the first time near Lizard Head Tues- day‘ night. This was‘ considered the end of the trip. U.-S. Navy announcement said the Skate’s run from her home port in New

Plan Tho-rough Study Of Metal Lobster Traps

OTTAWA (C-P)—Fisheries sci- entists, w o r k i n g with diving ‘chambers and underwater televi- sion and motion picture cameras, this spring will launch a thorough study of the use of metal lobster traps, the federal fisheries de- partment announced Wednesday.

The announcement said the ob- jective of-the research is to de- termine whether metal traps are more economical than the tradi- tional wooden ones in catching lobster.

Working from the Greenwood, a naval harbor tug based at Hal- ifax, the scientists will record the ' actions of lobsters in the traps.

The department said the metal traps have been tested on the va- rious fishing grounds during the last four years. The , scientists’ earlier observations indicated the metal traps can withstand gale conditions better than traps made of wood. ‘

Lobster fishermen have suf- fered heavy trap losses during storms.

MONTREAL (CP) -— .At least eight men and possibly 12 were missing and believed killed Wed- nesday night when a coffer d-am at a bridge construction site on the Rivieres des Prairies, which skirts the north end of Montreal Island, gave way apparently un- der pressure of ice.

Winds that gusted to 40 miles per hour were whipping the snow into drifts bbat slowed traffic to a crawl and made visibility so poor that driving was in hazardous operation at best. ‘

Dressmakers In

9 States

NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time in 25 years, dress- m-akers Wednesday launched a general ‘strike against the U.S. garment industry. More than 105,000 walked out in nine east- ern states.

With a new generation taking over the work benches since the last strike, many of the dress- makers never had walked a picket line before. The striking International L a die 5 Garment Workers Union used sound trucks to brief them on the almost for- gotten mechanism of a strike. Wages and contract enforce- ment were the chief issues in the walkout, which got under way at 10 a.m. _ _

Most of the industry’s Easter finery already has been delivered to the dress shops. A prolonged ' walkout, however, could throw ' summer and f all production ‘ schedules out of kilter in the $1,- 000,000,000-a-year industry.

MAY SHORTEN VACATION

As 65,000 dressmakers—mostly women — left the lofts in New York’s cluttered garment district to march on Madison Square Garden for a strike rally, Mayor Robert F. Wagner said he might

cut short a Bahamas vacation.

Wagner promised protection for picket but warned both

sides again st violence that characterized past g. in r in ent strikes. ~

Besides the 65,000 New York strikers, 40,000 others walked out in New York State, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ver- mont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.

The union walked out for a 15- per-cent wage increase and a 35- hour week for piecework dress- makers. The employers offered five per cent and overtime after 371/2 hours. Present wages in New York average $2.10 an hour.

The ILGWU also wants stiffer penalties for contract violations, including union dress jobbers dealing with non - union con- tractors. ‘

TORONTO (GP) — Harry Oakes, 25, son of the late mining multi - millionaire Sir ‘Harry Oakes, left here Wednesday for a Bahaimas honeymoon’ with the ‘18-year-old German .imrniigrant girl he ‘met at a house party four months ago. »- -

The couple were married Mon- day in a civil ceremony in subur- ban Willowdale. First public news of the wedding came Wed- nesday when they talked to re- porters just before boarding an airliner for Nassau.

The bride is the former Chris- tiane Botsch, daughter of a Harn- bui-g meat packer who came to’ Canada 18 months ago to visit family friends and attend a uni- versity. extension course here.

Friends of the bride described the Botsch family as “wealthy,” but Christiane would not com‘- ment,‘ except to remark: "I just don’t know what to say to that.”

Harry is the youngest of three sons of Sir Harry Oakes who struck it rich in goldfields near Kirkland Lake, Ont. in 1911. Sir Harry was found bludgeoned to death in his Bahamas mansion

Suggests Tree Removal Plan For The Valley

HALIFAX (CP)—— Eric W. Balcom (L--Kings North) called Tuesday for a fruit tree removal scheme in the Annapolis Valley and increased government grants to education.

Mr. Balcom told the legislature probably 300,000 of the valley’s 700,000 trees “could and should be removed.”

“We have too many trees in the orchards of the Annapolis Valley which are bearing fruit that cannot be marketed at a profit,” he said. He urged that the Nova Scotia Government de- vise a tree removal program and present it to the federal govern- ment for consideration.

“If this tree removal scheme was undertaken now, we would have constructiive employment and something of real benefit to farmers.”

Mr. Balcom said government agencies on both the provincial and federal levels are the only ones capable of providing-the nat- ion’s universities with permanent sources of income.

“Substantial government grants are the only answer to the finan- cial problems confronting the universities today,” he said. At least $1,000,000 of increased fed- eral monies the province expected to receive should be invested in higher education. through bur- saries and scholarships or by
