Power Plant Destroyed in Fire Yesterday At Aiberion

Residents of Alberton were with- out electric power for more than twelve hours yesterday when a spectacular early morning fire in the Electric light plant there plunged the town in darkness. Ap- proximately 300 consumers were effected.

The blaze broke out about 5.30 when the night operator, Mr. John Kinch, was starting up one of the diesel engines with a gasoline torch. The nozzle flew off the torch on top of the engine and the in- terior of the structure was in flames in a matter of seconds.

Mr. Klnch got out of the,burn- ing building by crawling on the cement floor to avoid the heat of the fire. Another employee, Mr. Reginald Travers, attempted to reach a fire extinguisher but was prevented by the intense heat.

The Alberton Fire Brigade was on the scene shortly afiicr being called but could do nothing toward saving the plant. i-loses were run from a nearby pond to the house and in this manner the residence was saved.

Emergency System

An emergency power system was set up by the Maritime Elect- rie Company at Gordon's Garage and the main section of the town bad light and power restored shortly after six o'clock last even- rig. -

Aiberton residents hope that this

system can be maintained until the ,

Bevan iiociis Old Guard With Vichiry

By DON SCHWIND

MORECAMBE. England, Sept. 30 - (AP) - Aneurin Bevan rocked the Labor Party's old guard today with a voting victory that knock- ed two moderates off .the national executive committee and unmasked Bevanlte strength even in old line trade unions.

The tough-talking leftist's forces in the party's constituency wing - the section made up of local labor partles and clubs throughout the country - ousted ex-Foreign see- retary Herbert Morrison and form- er Chanccllor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton with a bumper vote.

The seats went to two of Bevan's lieutenants. Foreign Affairs Expert Richard Rossman and Harold Wil- son. They "took a walk" from the former Labor Government with Bevan last year in protest against ilwaterins down of socialist princip- es.

The constituency delegates also voted Bevan back to membership on the executive along with three Supporters, Mrs. Barbara Castle; Tom Driberg and Ian M.ikardo.3

The seventh seat allotted to the constituency wing was fined by James Griffiths, former colonial

TORONTO. Sept. 30-(CP)-The next president of the United States-whoever he may be-got some early advice from Canada's Trade Minister today - reduce trade barriers.

Mr. Howe, speaking before is group of Canadian importers, said that the”U. S. has led the way in reducing trade restrictions. But the job was only half done. "Too many barriers” still remained.

"Let us hope." he added, "that whoever wins the coming elec- tions in the U. S. will carry on the good work. Whoever doesiwiil find the Government at Ottawa ready to play its part in any gen- uine effort to bring about freer trade among the nations."

First Gentleman Realm

Expect Philip To Become Prince Consort

LONDON, Sept. 30-(CP)--The Queen tonight declared that the

Duke of Edinburgh will hence- forth hold "precedence next to Her Majesty."

Elevation of the Queen's hus- band to the number two position in the British realm-mode by the Queen's warrant and announced in the official London Gazette- was seen as preliminary to mak- ing Philip prince consort. That is ihe title devised a. century ago by Queen Victoria for her consort Albert. Philip is expected to get it before the Queen's coronation next June 2.

The Gazette said the Queen. by warrant dated Sept. 18, declares and ordains that the Duke "shall henceforth upon all occasions and in all meetings, except where otherwise provided by act of Pat- liament. have, held and enjoy a place of pre-eminence and pre- cedence next.to Her M esiy."

Until now, the Duke of Wind- sor and the Duke of Gloucester. sons of King George V, took offi- cial pi edence over the Duke of Edinburgh at all functions not at- tended by the Queen.

He was created Duke of Edin- burgh, and given the title "His

U. S. Takes Huge Gun

By ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-(AP) --The United States army has stripped the secrecy mantle from a huge gun made to shoot atomic shells at en my troops on a bat- tlefield 20 mles away. At the Aberdeen, Md.. proving grounds the other day the army showed off two of the guns to vis- ltors to

1. Back up its year-old claim that it really has its own atomic weapons, just as the air force and the navy have planes to carry atomic bombs.

2. Show that the 85-ton gun can travel highways, wheel on to travel cross-country to wherever an army. division commander wants an atomic barrage put down, and then go into action within 20 minutes.

The visitors came away con-

vinced that the atomic cannon now appears ready to join the other artillery of the army. t only a few experts can say whether it so far has fired an act- ual atomic shell. They decline to talk on that point.

Claim Advantages

The army claims a number of advantages for the gun, including:

The over-all length of the whole assembly-gun, mount and the two engine cabs-is 84 feet, two inches. The barrel of the gun, which slides back to balance at a mid-way point when being trans- ported. is almost 40 feet long.

The calibre is 280 millimetres, a little less than 12 inches. There is nothing unusual in the size of the bore. Many guns are bigger calibre, including the 16-inch rides used by battleships of the U. S. navy. Some of the:super-battle- ships built by Japan for the Sec- ond World War had 18-inch rides in their main armament. some mortars used by several armies. including those of Russia, are of

New Process

(By Marin Barrow)

NEW YORK. Sept. 30-(AP)- Perhaps the experience will re- call ihe first time you swooped down in a fair grounds roller coaster. Or when. on e first-eir- plane fiight. the- pilot suddenly went into a side slip. Those first sensations. combin- ed with the scenlc effects of a mbtlon picture production, are the combination of clnerama, a three- dimensional film process which made its formal bow to Broad- way audienceedonight. The cinerama film, as seen now. is something bordering on a travelogue. But its first showing points the way towards possible technical changes in the enter- tainment world. This first film is entitled "This Is Cinereine" because it is, in fact, the introduction of a new motion picture process. It is not yet a film with a plot. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Arizona, the Cyp as car- denl of Floridex a d the trlumphai scene of "Aide" at La scale Grand Opera ivFMilan are the themes for ihif new full-dim- ensio al sight pcturb at the Broa way Theatre.

Captures iiobber

MONTREAL. Sept. 30 -(OP) -- Jimmie Edison celebrated his 35th anniversary as a bank messenger today by capturing ii long-wanted bank robber. .

When the roly-poly Edison shov- ed a gun in the robbers back the man surrendered without a strug- gle. He is believed the same man who on Sept. 10 took 5.1.500 from the same bank-the Victoria square branch of the imperial Bank of Canada.

The bandit picked it time when the bank was crowded with cus- tomers. He waited his turn in line and then shoved a. cheque through the grill. On the cheque was writ- ten: "This is a holdup. Give me money."

Margaret Miles, on duty at the wicket. shouted "holdup" and then ducked. The customers, were startled.

Edison pulled a gun. from his pocket and ran across the floor Before the bandit knew what had happened the gun was in his back and Edison was telling lilm, "Move aid I'll blow your head off."

The men said. "I do nothing." and meekly surrendered.

Constable Armand Savaria, on traffic duty at at. James and Mc- Glll streets. was called. He frlsked the men and found no gun; only two cents in his pocket..'f'he man was handlcuffed and taken to jail.

Bank personnel and poilorsaid they are sure the captured robber, who carried identification indicat- ing he lived in Val D'or, Que., is the same-man who held up the bank three weeks ago. at that time he waster. ,

The General, elaborating on his original remarks, said that despite "the most unusual precautions" C. l'. A. has never found a Commun- isis in iis ranks in the United Stairs. But "We have to act on the assumption that. our opponents are at lcast as smart. as we are."
