ST. JOHN'S. April fi — (OP) - Pramisr Joseph Smsllwood sn- nounced at an inaugural convent- ion oi the Newfoundland Liberal Party tonight that the new pro- vince wiil hold its first election Friday, May 27.

Newfoundlenders, who haven't elected_ s. government in l'l years, thus will have a breathing spell of only one month following the pro- vincial election before they go to the polls to elect Federal repre- sentatives, probably June 2'7.

Mr. S-maliwood made the an- nouncement after greeting some 1,500 delegates and guests to the first political convention for this island since it elected s. Conservative government in 1932.

In Carnival Mood

The convention began in a mood of carnival. A prolonged roll of drums started a cheer as Small- wood and his 10-men cabinet walked along the narrow sisle through the crowd to the plet- form.

. Smallwood, who led New- foundland's fight for confederat- ion, declared that "as of tonight the Liberal Party stretches from St. John's to Vancouver."

“Our minds now must go all the way to British Columbia," he said. "Our politics now are bigger and greater than they were in the old days in our beloved island."

He extolled the Liberal Party,

Sees No Margarine Sold In N. B. Under New legislation

SAINT JOHN, N3. April 20 - (C?) - New Brunsnvicks new margarine lam. when and if proclaimed. will have the effect of banning the sale oi the butter substitute in (his province, s pecking plant rep- resentative said tonight.

He based his opinion on s provision of the provincial leg- islation that no preservative other than common salt may be used in the manufacturing process. _

Prohibition of the margarine preservative, benzoate of soda. mount that the product man- ufactured in Central Canada could not be kept long enough for transportation to New Brunswick and consequent nor- msi storing.

"As fer as margarine goes. we've had it when the leiw goes into effect," said the spokes- man.

(The margarine bill received royal assent at Fredericton to- day beforo prorogetion of the legislature. An amendment provided that New Brunswick consumers may bring the pro- duct into the province. The leiw will not become effective until proclaimed.)

A government official in Fredericton tdinight admitted that the sot. if enforced, would “shorten the life of margarine." He emphasised. however, that the purpose of the bill was not to ban margarine but to con- trol its manufacture and sale.

By RICHARD K. WMALLEY BERLIN. April 28 —- (AP) - Russiens and British authorities

ere set for a showdown at dawn tomorrow on a blockade issue raised by the Russians - barge, traffic on canals » through “the British aecfor.

‘The Soviet motive was obscure. particularly in view of the Krem- li.n's informal offer this week to lift the blockade of Western Ber- iin.

The Russians. continuing a manoeuvre launched unexpectedly 24 hours before, sent five officers m canal locks at three points in- side (he British sector with ord- ers to amp all barges lacking So- vief registry. The officers wore sidearms.

Two armored cars backed up British military police suarding the locks. and reinforcements stood by for any eventuality when the barges start moving at daylight.

The barges tie up at night be- cause of the danger of running afoul of war wreckage. The can- als link waterways in the Soviet

"me west of Berlin- with those of the Soviet zone to the easi. The Russians cielm control over all the canal system.

British authorities never have interfered with Soviet barges in the Brtiish sector, despite the Russian blockade of Western Ber- lin. To conserve truck fuel, the Western Allies ‘have used barges on their sections of the waterways for moving air-lift supplies, but could get along without them. They could cripple the Russians‘ overburned transport system by ordering all barges stopped in the western Doctors.
