worst storm in 23 years.
A Norwegian freighter sank with 20 men aboard off the south coast of Norway.
The crew of a small German vessel apparently was dashed overboard in the same area leav- ing the ship drifting and deserted.
Mountainous seas_ threatened scores of ships along the coasts, and radios crackled. with appeals for aid, reports of seemingly hopeless searches and occasion- ally with news of a rescue or of | a ship that. had reached safety.
Worst of the disasters was loss of the 1,719 ton Norwegan freighter Elfrida. She capsized near Lista lighthouse off the, south coast of Norway. All of | her crew of 20 were believed to have died. As their troubles mounted they radioed:
“We are going down. Thanks for all assistance. We have! launched our starboard lifeboat) and will try to leave the ship.”
Other vessels laboring in the
motorship Buffalo of Oslo found six bodies in the water. The Nor- wegian liner Oslofjord. with 315 Passengers aboard, sighted the Elfrida floating keel up, and re-
ported: “Now running. before wind searching for survivors:” | But the liner’s search was in vain.
A hunt for survivors by four planes sent out by the Norwegian | air force’s air-sea rescue service | was called off at. nightfall.
Seven other .men were lost on the 995-ton German ship Merkur in the same area. Crew from the British trawler Benella boarded the wallowing Merkur but found no one. The Britons scrambled off the eerie’ ship.
But at nightfall, whem the death toll appeared headed for 118, there was good news after grim hours of disaster. The missing 700 ton Norwegian freighter Grete Solheim made it into the western Norwegian harbor of Utsira. Her deck cargo had been

Capt. John Vuorla finally aban- doned the 1,045 - ton Finnish freighter Anna, hard aground off Aberdeenshire. Coast guards took the other 17 crew members off by breeches buoy Tuesday but the 62-year-old captain re- fused to leave the ship he-had skippered for 24 years.
ORDERED OFF
Vuoria stayed even when the seas swept the foremast over- board. Then orders from the owners were put in a water-tight tin and hauled across to the ship. Vuoria, almost in tears, gave in and was hauled ashore through the surf. As the coast guards helped him to dry land he said:
“I slept fine in the ship and had plenty to eat. I made coffee and sandwiches and even had a fire in the galley. My ship is ifnished. Now I'll probably re- tire.”
RAF helicopters also hoisted seven seamen to safety drom the deck of the North Carr lightship, which had been drifting off the Fife coast since early Tuesday.
Eight men in the Scottish life- boat Mona went to their deaths Tuesday as they tried to battle their way to the lightship.
Among the several ships re- ported in Soman the 362 - ton Dutch coaster Frean, with nine men aboard, developed ‘a 25-de- gree list in the Finnish gulf when ice covered her superstruc- ture. The crew jettisoned the deck cargo of timber and the captain beached the Frean on the Soviet coast. Two Russian tugs were reported standing by.

Two U.S. secret service men got in beside Eisenhower while Nehru, standing 4n the jeep ahead, led the way waving to the crowd to stand back. Later, as the motorcade reached a less- crowded spot Nehru rejoined Eisenhower.
At the end of the 11-mile ride from airport to India’s presiden- tial palace Eisenhower stood ankle deep in flower petals. He

was rumpled and seemingly somewhat bewildered.
Nehru too seemed moved and even puzzled at times by the roar and sweep of the erowds.
People jammed along the streets threw flowers until they were two feet deep in some cars of the motorcade. The welcomers rang bells, blew horns and shouted in a ceaseless din.
TRY SHAKE HANDS
When the motorcade was halted by the press of the crowd many persons tried to shake hands with Eisenhower.
It took the cars two hours and five minutes to make the journey to the presidential palace, more than twice as long as planned.
Never had this great Asian metropolis seen such a greeting for any visitor. It easily outshone that given Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev four years ago.
ture was 69 degrees when Eisen- hower arrived at the airport— half an hour behind schedule be- cause of delays from crowds of- ficially estimated at 500,000 in Kabul, the Afghanistan capital.
Darkness had fallen when the motorcade, escorted by a troop of President Rajendra Prasad'’s lancers on horseback, ended its slow journey from the airport. #¥riendly as the -crowd was, U.S. secret service men and In- dia’s security forces had a busy time.
Police and troops carrying pa- ‘trol sticks struggled to keep the people back. Sometimes they smacked ‘their clubs against shins

“Something that this country
jist cannot afford”
“Canada is doing business today in an in- creasingly competitive world. I was immensely . impressed, during the course of an extended
business trip through the British Isles this
autumn, with the vigorous activity and ex-
pansion that are apparent on every hand, and
with the resolute, and successful, measures te
achieve this growth without inflation.
“The United Kingdom and most countries
of Europe have faced up to, and dealt with,
their monetary problems, and have taken the
drastic, unpopular, but necessary steps to
achieve stability of costs and prices. Their
several moves towards convertibility of their currenties and reduction or removal of import restrictions have placed the onus to compete in their markets squarely upon the seller. These accomplishments of our overseas friends present an example and a challenge, not only to Canada, but if I may say 80, to the United States as well.
“I sincerely believe that if we on this con-
' tinent do not similarly resist the temptation to take the easy inflationary path, there is a real danger of the) North American economy be- coming a ‘high-cost plateau’ and living in expensive, but not splendid, isolation from the expanding flows of world trade.
\ “,..another bout of inflation is something that this country, as a trading nation, just cannot afford.”
