Central Portion Of Province Hardest Hit

WDINIPEG. (OP)-Winter came up off the floor and hit Manitoba with an overnight haymaker that was rated Thursday as the worst spring blizzard in 16 years.

Brunt of the blow fell on the Portage la. Prairie-Macdcmald area of central Manitoba. Winds as high as 8-1 miles an hour whipped a six-inch snowfall into drifts. disrupted power and communications and stall- ed dozens of cars.

Only two inches of snow fell in Winnipeg but- the temperature skidded from a Wednesday high of 34 00 i5.

Power lines were knocked out temporarily at Portage la Prairie, Gladstone and Macdonald.

100 Cars Stalled

ported all highways open.

Warm Welcome Planned For Konrad Adenauer

By Douglas How Canadian Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA. (CP)-Canada's cap- ital is looking forward to its first meeting Friday with a German chancellor whose passionate urszc for European unity is one of the bright linings in the clouds over that continent.

There is going to be a warm official welcome for Konrad Aden- auer, a remarkably energetic man of 7'1 who twice was fmprlsoiied by Hitler. was once fired as mayor of Cologne because he ordered Nazi swastikas torn down, and whose vision of a freely-united Europe is the antithesis of the super-race theories with which Hitler bore Germany to ruin.

0 LA souow. (Routers) 1- The Queen launched her gleaming 410- foot yacht Britannia Thursday and told a cheering crowd of 20.000 it would often serve as I home for her much-trsvelled family.

Built at a coat of neuiy 85.000.- 000 at the clydulde yards here, the 4.000-ton Britannia is the first new yacht for the Royal,Fam- fly in 54 years. Its construction was originally envisaged by tho late King George VI.

Malan Returned With Increased Majority

PRETORJA. (OP)-Prime Min- ister Daniel F. Malan swept back to power with an increased par- liamentaigv majority in returns from Wedncsdayis general elec- tion.

The Associated Press reported that the result signals a danger- ous era ahead in South African race relations.

With nine seats in the House of Assembly still unsettled, the stern ex-preachers Nationalist had ca.p- tured 86 by midnight Thursday night. Opposition leader J.G.N. Sti'auss' United party held 57. The Labor party. co-operating with the United party, held four.

Most of the remaining eight dis- tricts were expected to go Nation- alist slnce they were mostly in rural areas where the Nationalists are strong.

The Nationalists have declared that their first aim is to crush the developing non-white resistance to segregation laws and to scrap the right of the independent jud- iciary to pass upon laws enacted by Parliament.

OTTAWA. (CP)-A new parlia- mentary issue over margarine was whipped up Thursday by a Sen- ate committee in recommending that it be exempted from the 10- percent federal sales tax.

The move raised political and constitutional questions that had died down for some years after the ban on the butter substitute was lifted in 1949.

The Senate's banking and com- merce committee renewed the stir by voting 10 to 4 that mar-

Propose To Exempt Margarine From Tax

garlne be added to a long list of foods exempt from the sales tax. The committee was dealing with a bill, passed by the Commons. to implement some of Finance Minister Abbott's budget changes.

Before margarine could become exempt from the sales tax, the committee change would have to be approved by the Senate and then by the Commons. which al- ready has adopted the tax bill without margarine on the exempt list.

Airport Prohle

The taking over by the City of Charlottetown of the operation of the local airport has become at definite possibility following a meeting yesterday of a delega- tion from the City Council With the cabinet of the Provincial Gov- crnmenl.

Negotiations formerly kress with Ottawa for of the runways have been re- opened and the final terms of the Federal Government are ex- pected to be learned shortly.

During the recently concluded session of the Legislature the House. agreed to support the city and some members even remark- cd that the Province bhould com- pletely underwrite any loss suf- fcrcd. Yesterday Mayor J. D. Stewart, accompanied by Coun- cillor E. C. Johnstone. and City Clerk James Fullerton. met the Cabinet members for a discussion on the matter. Although nothing definite was decided the city has proceeded to learn from the Fed- eral Government the exact terms and the possible loss to be en- countered. Mayor Stewart hr- lieves it might run between 510.- 000 and 520,000 a year. but on the other hand there might be no loss at all.

One of the items which loomed large in the talks in the Legis- lature was the fact that the run- ways here are too short to permit of the larger planes landing here

in pro- extension

and it was felt that the Prov- ince was losing a great deal of the overseas traffic because of this.

Although it is believed that the Government has agreed to under- write all. or at least a large part of the loss. no announcement was made following the meeting. it was pointed out during the ses- sion of the Legislature that the airport was even more important to the economic life of the Pro- vince than it. was to the city and for this reason assistance should be given in improving and main- taining it.

No Plans For Naval Barracks In (Iharloheiown

O'I'FAWA. (CP)- Defence Minister Claxton said Thurs- day night the government has made no plans as yet for a naval barracks at Charlotte- town because of the high cost of such a project.

He told W. Chester S. Mc- l.ure 4PC-Queens) that he himself approved of the Char- lottetown site, but because of the condition of the water- front and proposed site which was mostly filled-in land. the cost. would be high.

In view of other priorities the government had not yet. seen fit to allocate sufficient funds for the barracks.

2. Went further than the

The U.N. also offered to send liaison officers to Panmunjom as early as Saturday "to discuss mat- ters incidental to re-opening plen- ary sessions of the armistice del- egations. . ."

Across Pole

(By Dave Mclniosh. Canadian Press Staff Writer) OTTAWA. (CF)-Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery has sug- gested a supra-national body to direct Western policy in the cold

uar. At the same time, the deputy- commander of North Atlantic Pact powers in Europe said at- tack on North America across the, north pole is unlikely com- pared to other danger areas. Wcstem Policy Ni-gatrlvo The West. he told a press con- ference Thursdsy in the parlia- mentary press gallery, needs a "clarion-like call" on its political aims in the cold war. Western policy was "negative and defen- slve" while Russia's was "positive and aggressive” and for this rea- son the West was wasting and its military sterngth. He proposed regional alliances,

lalong geographic lines, similar to

the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganlzallon. with an over-all auth- ority to define clearly the West's political aims.

The 65-year-old hero of Aiameln. here for defence talks and a 10-

dny tour of military establish- ments. said clear political direc- tion is a necessity in the West-

ern world to prevent the risk of war through miscalculation.

Sees Grains of Hope

After three weeks in the l'n- iied States--he arrived here Wed- nesday from Washington he could see "grains of hope" for an all-embracing political policy for the iVcsl.

Before the press Viscount Montgomery conferred with the chiefs of staff and spoke to officers of national de- fence headquarters. After it. he visited the Commons for a few

conference

minutes and after lunch left for the Canadian army staff college at Kingston.

WASHINGTON, tAP) -- Presi- dent Eisenhower has challenged Russia's new regime to prove its peace overtures are sincere by agreeing to global disarmament and taking concrete steps to ease the tensions that threaten another world war.

"The first great step along this way must be the conclusion of an honorable armistice in Korea." Eisenhower said Thursday in a speech widely heralded as the American answer to Soviet peace gestures.

Proposes Fund

Once the path of peace has been clearly charted. once the fears of East-West strife have

abated. Eisenhower proposed set- ting up I mulli-billion-dollar fund from the savings of disarmament to wage a ”new kind of war"- an all-nut global war against "the brute. forces of poverty and need."

For this purpose, he suggested that it ”suhsianiial percentage" of the savings achieved by calling off the arms more should go in- to A fund for "world aid and re- construction."
