Unless there is a prompt solution. the envcy said. Turkey will formally charge Bulgaria with a flagrant now violation of human rights, and ap- peal either for direct U. N. action or a ruling by the international court, an arm of the U. N.

On three months notice. Bul- garia has set a Nov. 10 deadline for the departure of uprocted Turkish residents and demanded that anti- sovlet Turkey accept them. Both Turkish protests and proposals for arbitration have been rejected in an angry exchange of notes during re- cent weeks.

Sioux Lookout In OE-Gold: -Rush

Sioux LOOKOUT. out. Oct. 29 -(GP)-For more than 30 years Sioux Lookout has been the jump- ing-off place for mining rushes to em pom-.. Now the Northwestern ouario town has a. gold rush in its back yard.

prospectors who in past years stayed here only 10": enough to outfit. themselves for the hinter- land have come back to stake claims-if they can find open ground.

'At night, Bloux Lookout streets look like a mining convention. There are mining men-from neat- ly-drcssed engineers and promot- ers to rugged prospectors-from as far away as Yellowknife. N. W. T.. and Quebec.

More than 30 companies have picked up properties.

1.000 Claims Recorded

Mining recorder T. A. Wood said more than 1.000 claims have been recorded since the rush began last Oct. 1.

-You can't get hotel accommoda- tion without many days notice. All spare rooms in private homes are occupied. Tourist camps are full. Patrons have to queue in restaurants at meal time.

Robert J. Mccomb. a seolosl-Ii. said staking is almost solid for 10 miles. But some claims are Just beyond the town limits.

Engineers and geologists say they are convinced there will be at least three producing mines in the area and perhaps more. But they say it is too early yet to give a de- 'tailed pictuie of Sioux Lookout area prospects.

Certain Producers

The three properties referred to as certain producers are New- lunds. Windward and, Oenirai Manitoba.” Underground work be- gan at Newlunds six months ago

and Windward Mines, an adjoin- ing property which is being devel- oped by the same eastern com- pany, is reported well on the way toward production.

Most immediate interest is centred on Neepawa Island in Lake Minnetakie. some six miles

south of Sioux Lookout and about 20 miles northeast of Newlurrds. Fifteen claims there have been optioned by Central Manitoba Mines. '

It is too late in the season for much real exploration work to be done. However. 15 companies are doing diamond drilling. Some en- gineers told a winnipes l'6l30l'i-61' they expect more than 100 drills will be working by" next spring within a. radius of 20 miles of Sioux Lookout.

Mr. Nowla-n arrived from Fred- ericton, N.B., where he addressed the annual executive meeting of the New Brunswick Progressive Cou- servatlve Association on Thursday. At that meeting Mr. Hugh Mackay announced that he was relinquish- 'lDftlI9?Icadi'8HlB'UfWH3 ip6efEl'o'?i” at the next sewian of the Legislat- ure. A convention to elect a new leader will be called sometime be- tween the cnd of the next session and June 30. 1951.

Peace, National Security Top Issues In Current U. S. Political Campaign

.w1-ialing after the war.

By John Tracy

NEW YORK, Oct. 29 - (CP) - Peace and national security have colored the issues in the campaign for election of the 82nd United States Congress now entering its final week.

Party leaders, in statements to the nearly 70,000,000 eligible vo- ters, are pretty close to agree- ment on what elecilonoering for ihe Nov. 7 off-year polling is all about

The Democratic national chair- man. William M. Boyle. Jr., put it this way:

”I believe that the voters chief- W are very deeply concerned with making sure that this countryls positive efforts to obtain security and world peace are not interrupt- ed and that our national prosperity is maintained and advanced."

The Republican national chair- man. Guy George Gabrlelson, said:

'The principal issue of the campaign is the demonstrated in- competence of the Democrat Con- gross and administration to achieve peace or maintain an adequate na- tional defence."

"The polling will result in elec- tion of a complete new House of Representatives - 435 members - and 36.scnators. as well as gov- ernors in 33 states and a host of state and municipal officials.

Political classification of the present. House is Democrats 259; Republicans 169: American Labor Party. one: vacant six. Senate standing is: Democrats 54; Repub- licans 42. Of these. seats held by 23 Democratic senators and 13 Re- publicans are up for election.

Thevpolimg, coming mid-way through the presidential four- year term, is called an "off-year”

VEYEFY two years. Senators have six-year terms and their election is staggered, 32 seals coming up for election every two yea;-5, 1.1 addition. four unexpired terms have to be filled this year.

The Republicans need to gain seven Senate seats and 49 in the House to wrest control of Con- gress from the Democrats. Both parties predict gains but the best forecast is that the Democrats will retain control of both Houses.

It boosted the size of down pay- mentsoanadians will have to make on purchases and the amount of weekly or monthly instalments and made 18 months the maximum time they will have to pay up.

The new regulations become ef- fective Nov. l. They will be admin- istered by a consumer credit ad- ministration under J. G. Bertrand who has been appointed administ- Irator.

They follow closely credit buy- ing curbs in effect in the United States. Finance Minister Abbott, in making the announcement, said they are designed to "check inflat- ionary pressures arising from mounting defence expenditures."

Malls Points

The restrictions, less severe than experienced during the World War, contain these points:

1. Persons buying automobil- es, motorcycles and other motor vehicles except trucks and bus- es, will pay 33 1-2 per cent of the purchase price at the time of delivery. The value of "trade- ins" will be counted as part of the down payment.

2. on other goods bought on the instalment plan-with cert- ain exceptions such as real es- iate, securities and goods for professional use-the purchaser will make a down payment of at least 20 per cent and not less than 35. The value of "trade- ins” will be deducted from the purchase price and the 20-per- cent minimum down payment applied to the remainder.

3. The sale contract for all classes of goods bought on cred- it must specify full payment in regular pi stalments within is
