He told John Dlcfenbaker (PC C-Lake centre) in the Commons that the department had been able to reach Mr. Fisher only yesterday about his charge. made in Toronto last week. A letter as tailing his charges reached Ot- tawa this morning.

OTTAWA, April 3-(OP)-The air force is planning erection of a 87,000,000 central supply depot at Downvicw. just north of Toronto. It will be the biggest of its kind in Canada, and likely will be com- pletddi in a. year.

TOKYO, April 27 - (-Friday) - (AP) - Red troop! swarmed south to within 11 miles of rub- bled Seoul today, hitting Allied forces on the outskirts of Uijongbu.

But despite the assault on Uilongbu, defence outpost for Seoul. the United Nations field commander said the Reds would be stopped north all the Han River.

The statement came from Lt.-Gen. James A. Van Fleet on a surprise visit to the roll- ing front.

On the central front, the United Nations forces held firm against - lighter Communist assaults.

An early-morning dispatch from AP correspondent John Randolph reported the night attacks on Al- lied units covering the western front withdrawal from a ridge west of the Uijongbu-Seoul highway.

"The main threat on the west- ern front seems to have develop- ed north of Seoul, where two or three Communist divisions are trying to push their way toward the capital," Randolph reported.

He said an allied mortar com- pany northwest of Uijongbu was over-run. but counter-attacking U. N. forces recovered the com- pany's equipment.

Allied artillery kept up its dev- astating barrages. Big guns of one division fired more than 10.-

000 rounds in al 24-hour period ending Thursday night. A partial lifting on censor-

shlp's veil disclosed the gallantry of British and other U. N. troops in the fierce rear-guard fighting north of Seoul. A spokesman de- scribed it as "magnificent."

Party Leaders Issue Statements On Election

(By Canadian Presal

Premier Jones, successful in leading his Liberals to victory in yesterday's Prince Edward Island general election, said tonight he thought a better campaign had done the trick.

"The Conservative platform." he

said. "was too extreme and ex- pensive. Take for example their promise of old age pensions at 65 without cl means test." . "Their new'j.hadeg,.?g&,,,;Bsy) has not got the con! cc and the former leader '(Dr. W. J. P. ' MacMlllan). who was rl--elected is still regarded as the best. they have by. many."

"Liberals appeared in be heifer campaigners on the radio and put more punch into their advertis- ing. There were no charges of graft or incompetence. The gov- ernment has kept itself youthful even though I am 73 and have said I will soon retire."

MI". ILR. Bell

R. R. Bell. leader of the Pro-. greasive Conservative Party which won only five seats in yesterday's Provincial general election, said he was bitterly disappointed with the result from the rural areas.

';Today," he said. "bore out the conservative contention that the election was called at a most in- appropriate time. Many voters were unable to reach the polls due to weather and road conditions that were not unexpected at this time of year."

1-le continued: "I feel that the result of the election hardly is a true verdict as between the plat- forms of the Liberals and Con- servatives. I am disappointed that the rural vote has not approved the Conservative policy of support and help for agriculiu'l'e and fisll- ing. We of the Conservative Party feel that an offer of support on a. long term basig was more deser- Ving than was expressed at the polls today."

Mr. MncFarlimn

Douglas Macl-Tarlanc. 34-year-old farmer leader of the C,C.F. party in Prince Edward Island. said the voie the Party's five candidates received in yesterday's election "is highly encouraging nnd indi- cafes increased strength.” .

Power Failure interrupts Reiums In Sumnerside

Waiting for election returns in

Summerside last night was a particularly harrowing experi- ence due to two power failures caused by breaks in the lines.

Electric light service in Summer- side is ordinarily dependable and it was unfortunate that power should fail just when the returns were being gathered.

The local radio station was off the air for a short period and some sections of the town had about two hours darkness, in two intervals. The first from 7.30 to 8.30 approximately and the second from about 9.30 to 1030.

The teieprinter in the local of- fice of The Guardian was natural-

perlods of power failure which in- terferred with the compiling of returns for the bulletin board. It was also necessary to work in darkness when endeavoring to col- lcct returns from local pools where the officials had not phon- ed them in to election headquart- ers.-8.

To Proceed With Old Ageliensions

OTTAWA. April 26 -(C P)-: Prime Minister St. Laurent gave renewed assurance today that the government plans to proceed with old-age pensions legislation as soon as it gets provincial agree- ment on necessary constitutional amendments.

The amendment; would allow the-aei-ting up of a contributory pensions scheme.

Mr. St. Laurent gave his as- surance in the Commons to George Drew. Progressive Conser- vative Conservative leader, who asked what additional legislation the government plans to introduce at this session of parliament.

Mr. St. Laurent said he would make a statement later on the amount of legislation still to be introduced. I

As to press and parliamentary speculation about the possibility of a fall session of parliament to deal with legislation still to come. Mt. St. Laurent "never received ion."

World Shortage. Of Raw Materials

LONDON. April 26-(CF)-The world shortage of raw materials. an underlying factor in Britain's present political turmoil, was seen today as likely to dominate industrial and economic planning for a generation.

The theory, as outlined by Sir Frank Nixon. president of the London Chamber of Commerce. is that the free world has entered fl "raw material age." From now on. demand will increasingly out- strip supply.

Current shortages will endure long after the temporary pressure of. stockpiling the rearmament subsidies.

close Voting Feature Of

(By The Canadian Press)

Premier J. Walter Jones and his Liberal Government returned to power in Prince Edward Island for the fifth consecutive time yester- day, gaining one seat from the Progressive Conservative Opposi- tion.

With all tidings heard from, Lib- erals had 25 seats against five for the Conservatives. All five C. C. F. candidates lost their 3200 deposits.

In the last general election in 1947, Liberals captured 24 seats against six for the Conservatives

Leaders Re -elected

Both Premier Jones and Progres- sive Conservative leader R..R. Bell gained re-electi l to their seats but Mr. Bell had a. margin of six votes and the result was in doubt until the last poll was heard from.

Dr. W. J.P. MacMillan, who rs- tired as Progressive Conservative leader last year. worl personal vict- ory in his old riding of 5th Queen's but his running mate lost to B. Earle MacDonald. Charlottetown Mayor running as a Liberal.

J.G. Campbell, minister without portfolio in the last .Tones' cabinet was defeated but other cabinet ministers were returned. Education Minister li'.A. Large was returned by only two votes, however. and a recount in this and possibly one or two other close constituencies was considered likely.

His running-mate, W. EA. stew- art, retained ills seat by only seven votes. '

Donald MacFarlane, C.C.P'. Pre- sident. did not enter the contest but fought several unsuccessful campaigns in the past. His father, J. H. MacFarlane, was defeated in 5th Prince. Also defeated on the C. C. F. ticket was the first woman to enter a provincial contest.

Returns indicated a close battle at first but later in the night as they started to pick-up, the tide turned toward the Liberals.

Highway travel, made difficult by a driving rain which fell on the Island today. and telephone fail- ure delayed the returns from some rldlngs.

Last Campaign ?

For Mr. Jones it may have been his last election campaign. He told the nominating convention in 4th Queen's that he was seeking the nomination for the last time.

He did not elaborate but there have been rumors he will either go to the Senate or retire from active politics. His win today made him the first party leader to take his forces through three successful general campaigns.

Mr. Bell, on the other hand. was fighting his first general election as party head. He succeeded Dr. W.J.P. MacMillan last year when the 69- year-old former Premier resigiied because of pressure of other duties. Dr. Maclvliliarl, however, ran in 5th Queens.
