By Rene Lagsce

MONTREAL. Dec. 9 - (CP) - French-speaking students Satur- dav staged a demonstration in front of major retail stores which defied is new municipal by-law ..,-dc.-in; them to remain closed on all Roman Catholic holy days or obligation.

Saturday was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the students, mainly from the Um- vcrsity of Montreal, put on the demonstration in protest against the stores remaining open.

Store owners-said they remain- ed open to contest the validity of the by-law which would also force them to close on five other hoiv days throughout the year.

Poi-ire, with advance knowledge of the student plans. were pre- pared.

The students numbered more than 100 at the start but their Links thinned to '75 or so with the arrival of police cars carrying policemen armed with tear gas. 'Sls flow for a while as police eibon-ed the students away from the stores and seized placards they were carrying. The posters read ”Fermez vos maguins" (close your stores). Some stu- dents were shouting "The law is there for one and all."

A police official said they had been warned Friday of the in- tended demonstration. Extra con- ttabies were in the district and nlaiicioihesrnen mingled with snoppers.

The official said that for every store that obeyed the law in the district-on west.-end St. Eatriierine Street-two remained"

Levelling Of Village Siirs New Bitterness

- CAi!.Rt0, Dec. 9 -(AP) -Acting Foreign Minister Ibraham Farag Pasha announced today that Egypt is conslde:ri.ng severing dip- lomatlc relations with Britain.

Farag Pasha said study of the question was the "direct result of British forces' aggression in Suez "presumably because the British army levelled an Egyptian village Saturday to make way for a road. Egyptian police failed to carry out government orders to resist the demolition.

The cabinet was in session to- night and the pro-govemment newspaper Al Baiagh said it would take definite and decisive action on breaking relations with Britain.

At an earlier meeting today. informants said, the cabinet ap- proved a royal decree confiscat- ing the lands of the 87-year-old. British-founded Gezira Sporting Club of Cairo. the centre of much of the capitals social life.

The cabinet also decided. the informants said. to discharge all Britons employed by Egyptian Government departments.

British soldiers inn...

Two British soldiers were slab- bed. beaten and killed and a third was critically wounded in the Arab quarters of lsmsills sstur day night.

The British army said all three were robbed. The soldiers. mem- bers of a regiment stationed 10 miles north of Isrnsilis. on the Suez Canal. had gone to Ismailis to attend an army movie and Ip- parently lost, their way.

The attack. which--.tl1e 'tBl-itish attributed to "terrorists." appar- ently had no connection with the demolition of an Arab village out- side Suez by the British army Saturday to clear the way for a short road and bridge.

Show or Force

The Egyptian Government ord- ered police to oppose the demolit- ion by force. but no shooting de- veloped. The government explain- ed that Egyptian police were pre- vented from carrying out their orders by the overwhelming show of force by Britain.

The new road links the British garrison area at Suez with a wat- er filtration plant. Britons said it would by-pass I spot where Egyptians rniped at engineer de- t.-cit ents and set off pitched batles last week.

British Brig. K. T. Darling. commander of the 16th Parachute Brigade. said the road was com- pieted today. except for a few touches, without opposition.

PARIS, Dec. 9 -(CP) -Russia and the Western Powers have agreed to s new United Nations disarmament ission but are as far apart as ever on basic dis- armament questions, informed sources said tonight.

The four powers - Britain. France. the United states and Russia-meet Igain tomorrow to

approve the report of Luis Padil- la Nervo of Mexico on the week- long big-power closed sessions. which failed to find a basis for agreement on disarmament.

Nervo today was revising his original report which won Russia's approval but dismayed the West.

Break With U. K.

(By John M. Hlghtower)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9--(AP)- Some sparks of disagreement may fly when Prime Minister Church- ill sits down with President Tru- man early next month to talk global issues.

Churchill's statements indicate there are sharp differences of opinion between him and the Pre- sident. For example there is Churchill's proposal for a Big Four meeting. which would in- clude Premier Stalin and Tru- man. to try to iron things out with the Russians.

Churchill is likely to get a re- buff on that one. There has been no indication of any change in the President's opposition to negotiations direct with Stalin.

One widely held view here is that at best Churchill is due for a disappointment in Washington. it is believed he is coming to try to renew the kind of British- Amerlcan relationship that exist- ed ln the Second World War period. At the highest level that relationship took the form of a tight personal understanding and

Disagreement Forecast For Churchill-Tru

man Meeting

continuous cc-operation between Churchill and the late President Roosevelt.

The big difference now is that although Churchill again is in

power in a time of crisis, Truman has not. the working habits nor does he use the personal exer- cise of his power in a manner comparable with that of Roose- velt.

Truman. in conferring with

foreign leaders. usually has his staff experts present, and they do much of the talking.

Churchill is also expected to want at sweeping review of global strategy in the conflict with Russia and to make a stronger bid than Prime Minister Attlee did directly for an influential voice in the determination of that strategy.

President Truman's advisers be- lieve he will pitch American pol- icy more on the North Atlantic Treaty arrangement in which Bri- tain and the United States must share their responsibilities and powers with France and other Allied countries.

A Suggests One Cause

For Royal Laughter

LONDON. Dec. 9 -(Reuters) - One reason why Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh laugh- ed so frequently during their trans-Canada. tour is given with all solemnity by a Sunday Express columnist today.

The royal car had a radio which the columnist said, the Duke switched on softly.

They could hear a rndio an- nouncer say ”llere they come. The Princcss is beautiful. clear-eyed

and pink-checked."

And the Duke would mutter "What? after that party last night."

LONDON, Dec. 9 - (CPl Peter Gralnger. the United States army's ”shoeless hillbilly" was id- entified today as a wounded vet- eran of Britain's Eighth Army who fought alongside Italian partisans after escaping from a German prison camp in the last war.

The Sunday Chronicle published an interview with Mrs. Helen Grainger. She said she is the wife of the man who hoaxed the Amer- ican armv and who now is under treatment in a Toronto veterans hospital.

Grainger broke into the news last month when recruiting offic- ers reported he had ioined the 11.5. army after a lonely life in the New Mexico hills They said he told them he decided to join up."aficr new died.” walking out of the mountains barefoot to offer his services at a Texas army post.

Three weeks after he was induct- ed he disappeared and turned up later near Budburv. Ont. An On- tario Provincial Police constable recognized him as the man who had disappeared from his forest ranger”: past six weeks earlier.

Wartime Experience

Gralnger, then described as in an incoherent state. was taken to hospital where authorities said he was at British army veteran. A

His wife gllld in the Sunday chronicle lnihrview that arcing- er's reported actions in the United States paralleled his wartime ex- perience.

Mrs. Grainger said her 27-year- old husband had gone to Canada to try to make shame for his family.

His wife told the Sunday Chron- icle:

"I read the story of how my husband behaved in America with tears in my eyes. What he did in Texas was almost identical with what he did in Italy during the war.

"He was in the Eighth Army and was wounded badly in the head. He escaped from a German prison ..cemp. He was barefooted and see-

ured a mule.

"Then he joined the Italian par- tisans and fought with them."

He contracted gangrene in one of his fingers and left the partisans and finally met a ttnit of the Am- ericnn army. An American surgeon wanted to amputate his arm up to the shoulder but he begged them not to and finally went to a Brit- ish Zlospitai. His arm was saved.

Mrs. Grainger said she did not know what was going to happen.

"What is there back here for him if they send him back? His heart was set on making good in Canada.

"He is. intelligent and well edu- cated. I do hope that the Canadian authorities will give us all ll. chalice to settle in that wonderful coun- try."
