Happening
Travel Bureau States
By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — “Things are
happening in Canada this year.”
This is the sales pitch of the federal government’s travel bu- reau as it seeKs to redress a Ca- nadian playgrounds and cities.
“We've got-history in the mak- ing in Canada this year and this should help bring more people Canada,” says Alan Field, travel bureau director. “The two big events are the official opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Royal Tour.”
ISSUE TOUR PAMPHLET
To publicize these, the bureau has already distributed 100,000 copies of a Royal Tour pamphlet, with a portrait of the Queen on the cover and showing details of the cross-country itinerary.
Now in the making is a bigger, More expensive pamphlet on the seaway inviting Americans to “see the St. Lawrence Seaway through Canada.’ About 100,000 of these also will be distributed In the U.S.
“Inquisies received here are at a record high,’ Mr. Field said. “Reservations at hotels are piling up. This hot weather should bring more and more Americans up North.” c
Nevertheless, among Canadian
{officials there was no certainty that Canada wouldn't again show a tourist deficit in 1959. Despite the bigger attractions in Canada, a lot of Canadians were spending their, tourist dollars elsewhere, mainly in American shopping centres.
DEFICIT INCREASED In 1958, foreign tourist spending
toyin Canada eased to $352,000,000
from $363,000,000 in 1957. But Ca- nadian spending abroad rose to a record $544,000,00 from $525,00,- 000.
Thus Canada’s deficit in tourist trade increased to $192,000,000 from $162,000,000.
The main factor was the U.S. attraction. U.S. spending in Can- ada slipped to $309,000.000 from $325,000,000, but Canadian spend- ing in the U.S. increased to $411,- 000,000 from $403,000,000.
And so in 1958 the Canadian deficit in tourist trade with the U.S. swelled to $102,000,000 from $78,000,000.
The big attraction for Cana- dians, authorities said, appeared to be advertisements showing that certain brand-name goods were lower in cost in the U.S. than in Canada. ,
“Seme Canadians just can’t seem to resist a good bargain,” one official said.

,into the Delaware River, launch-
ing a new saga of the sea.
Actually, marine histor¢ has been in the making for two years since atomic scientists and ship engineers conceived the NS (for nuclear ship) Savannah. Work on the $31,000,000 vessel began a year azo at the New York Ship- building Corporation here.
More than 1,000 men are work- ing 6n the 595-foot Savannah. The vessel will start carrying paying passengers and cargo—it is hoped —early in 1961.
By March, 1960, the sleek three- deck liner will get its first load of atomic fuel. This is figured to supply the 13,000-ton Savannah for 300,000 miles without refuel- ling SAY SHIP SAFE.
Joseph C. Czudak, ship con- struction representative for the U. §S. maritime administration, and Harborough I. Lill, New
- York ship project engineer, are
keeping a close watch on the Savannah.
Lill insists it will be a safe ship—safe for 60 passengers and the crew of 109 it will carry.
Lill acknowledges the Savan nah won't be economically com- petitive with steamships because it is a test vessel. He says. how- ever, it is more important that it serve to “enlighten the public
that nuclear powered ships are’
entirely dependable and safe and to win their acceptance in\ the world’s ports.” -
The Savannah ‘“‘will be used as a ship,” Lill said, probably around July, 1960. Trials at sea will Be under careful supervision and over a long period.

Rebel Group Surrenders
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)— Sixteen rebels who refused to surrender with 46 of their fellows last week finally handed over their arms to government troops of Gen. Anastasio Somoza Satar- day night.
Somoza. brother of President Luis Somoza, said the surrender marked ‘the end of a would-be attempt by these nonsensical kids to emulate Fidel Castro.”
He ‘also charged that Ouba ant Venezuela probably would help about 75 insurgents currently training in Honduras for another invasion attempt. ’
The latest batch of rebels to surrender, led by Pedro Joaquin
Chamorro, was met by govern- ment troops in th Nicaragua. LENIENT WI REBELS
The troops were lenient witn the rebels, consisting mostly o ' sons of well-to-do families, but “we will not play around with pod other invaders,” Somoza said.

EDMONTON (CP) — Albert’s four major political parties are making a big pitch for the rural vote because the rural population holds the key to the outcome of Thursday's general election.
Forty-nine of Alberta’s 65 con- stituencies lie outside the Edmon- ton and Calgary metropolitan areas where*more than 500,000 of the province’s 1,250,000 persons live.
The rural riding have generally assured the Social Credit govern- ment of Premier E. C. Manning its majority in past years. The administartion bas been in power since 1935.
Of the 61 seats in the last leg- islature ‘the government elected only six members in Calgary and Edmonton which had a total rep- resentation of 13.
CITIES GET MORE Edmonton and Calgary ‘repre-
by three seats—two more in Ed- monton which has nine seats and one in Calgary which’ now has seven.
At the same time the new’ rutal riding of Dunvegan was formed in the Peace River district by cut- ting Peace River constituency, a Social Credit stronghold, in two.
Party leaders have spent most of their times at rallies outside the cities. Filmed television ap- pearances and recorded radio broadcasts have been used exten- sively in the cities.
Liberal Leader Grant Mac- Ewan, former dean of agriculture at two prairie universities, and lawyer W. J. C. Kirby, leader of the Progressive Conservatives, have appealed to the rural voters with promises of larger loans to

forts in the marketing ef farm produce. DECENTRALIZE INDUSTRY
Mr. Kirby also promised a de- centralization of industry to give rural areas an economic uplift.
The CCF party, under Floyd Johnson, has called for public de- velopment and distribution of ele trical power.
The Social Credit. party, seek- ing its seventh consecutive mas- date, has based its appeal on the government's 24-hour record and its five - year development plan which includes homes, for the aged.
A total of 216 candidates are running. More than 600,000 Albert-
| ang are expected to be eligible to
vote. In the 1955 election a record 589,409 persons were eligible.
Standing at dissolution was: So- cial Credit 37, Liberal 15, Progres- sive Conservative 3; CCF 2, Lib- eral-Conservative 1, coalition 1, independent 1, independent Social Credit 1. Total 61.
ADLAI WON’T RUN AGAIN
WASHINGTON (AP)—Adiai. E. Stevenson said Saturday he is not a contender for a third Demo- cratic presidential nomination ia 1960 and ‘‘will not be nominated. But the former [Minois governor who was beaten by Presidem Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, told a press conference: ‘I will help the Democratic party any way I can in 1960 because it is more important every day for the Dem- ocrats to win.”
