SEOUL, Oct. 0-(Thursday) - (AP)-The big Chinese push jar- red to a halt Wednesday in a carnage of casualties on a peak guarding the road to Seoul. but the Reds t cw fresh hundreds into the flam g battle.

south Korean infantry at the point of the bayonet drove the Chinese from the summit of White Horse Hill. about 50 miles north of this Korean capital, and stood firm against a storm of counter- attacks, field dispatches said.

Both sides poured thousands of infantrymen and dozens of tanks into the struggle for White Horas and nearby Arrowhead Ridge. where U.B. Second Division and French troops withstood the shock of attacks.

An American officer said one division, alone in this western sec- tor hsd inflicted about 3.000 cas- ualties on the Chinese since the Reds opened their big drive Mon- day night.

OTTAWA. Oct. I -(OP) - In- dications are that the number of new houses completed in Canada this year will fall far below the total for 1051.

The report showed that if the 1001 total is to be matched. 08.- 200 houses will have to be complet- ed in the last five months of this year. it appeared unlikely that such fast pace could be set. The number of new houses started. al-

Fear Deadii Toll May Beach 125 In Triple Crash

(By Alan Harvey Canadian Press Staff Writer) HARROW. Middlesex, England.i

Oct. 8 - (CP) - A triple train wreck, Britain's worst in 37 years, killed at least 85 persons today. Another 40 were feared dead.

Police at. one time issued a count. of 116 bodies recovered but later withdrew the figure, leav- ing the established death toll at 85.

Two speeding express smashed into n commuters' local at Harrow Station leaving the bodies of Cthe dead and at least 170 injured in a 50-foot-high mound of wreckage.

Late tonight, 16 hours after the wreck. rescuers still were digging into a 55-foot high mound of wreckage toward a coach buried at the bottom of the heap. Searchers figured probably 40 were entomb- cd in the coach.

Officials said the death toll might climb above 120 in this worst British railway disaster since 227 were killed and M6 in- jured in a collision of two pas- senger trains and a troop train at Gretna, Scotland. May 15. 1915.

That freight raiea instead of being prices for services are more and more taking the form oftaxes was stated yesterday by Mr. Rand H. Matheson, executive manager of thettlvfarlllmes Transportation Commission. He was speaking Maritime Board of Trade annual Maritime Boar dot Trade annual meeting at The Charlottetown.

Mr. Malheson said that this tax form is being paid by shippers and consignee: who find they can- not avoid the increase by divert- ing to other forms of transport. In the United States, he remark- ed, other forms of transport were carrying an increasing share of the country's volume of traffic.

Regarding suggested equaliz- ation of freight rates. the speaker said that the Maritime: did not

The U.S. Eighth Army com- munique reported that two of seven outpostsihllls over-run Mon- day when 15.000 Reds struck along two-thirds of the Korean front. had been recaptured. Later tactical summaries indicated. however. that the Reds had rcwon the positions.

Allied artillery fired tens of thousands of rounds. Allied guns caught about 1.000 Beds massing for an attack and wiped out half of them.

A tank officer flying over the area said he saw 12 155-mm shells burst squarely among the Chinese.

A pooled dispatch from the front said at least one full Chinese division, possibly 10,000 men, had tried to take two big hills but the Allies held all major positions which they were in when the at- tack broke Monday.

Eighth Army sources said they believed the heavy Communist at- tacks, described as a limited of- fensive. were destined to put pressure on the United Nations

The bureau's report gave no rea- son for the decrease in the num- ber of houses started and complet- ed. However. the crown-owned Central Mortgage and Housing corporation has blamed high costs and a shortage of mortgage money for the drop in construction activ- lty. in its last report, the corporation said there were indications that the house construction trend would swing upward. More housing loans were being sought. C ,” high costs and higher interest rates. No shortage of house building mater- laia was reported. - -

for equalization in appearance be- fore the Royal Commission on Transportation. Instead it h e y pressed for a continuance of the arbitrary freight rate structure re- cognized by the Royal Commission as an integral part of the whole class rate structure.

The technical discussion of the freight rate problem in the Mari- time Provinces traced ihe efforts in fight against proposed changes. Mr. Maiheson said that some of file original protagonists of rate equalization in Western Canada now realize that what they are likely to receive in an equalized rate structure is the form rather than the substance and in some cases neither.

brother. had pleaded guilty to the 35,047 robbery a year ago of the Dominion Bank. at suburban Lan- sing. Norman Boyd, jointly charg- ed, steadfastly denied his guilt. Today Judge Robert Forsyth said he acquitted Norman because

The jets were Mig-155, used by the Communists ill Korea. The American ship, which does not

It emphasized. however. that the "unidentified plane" came from the easi-Iwbere the Russian-held Kurils Islands lie-that it intrud- ed in Japanese territory. and that its tracks merged on the radar- acope with those of the missing B-20.

Morning Daily Founded 1881. The Guardian, Five Cents.

A formal resolution calling for the appointment of a Royal Com- mission to investigate economic conditions in the Maritime Prov- lnces was passed by the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade at their annual meeting held here yester- clay.

The request stemmed from a proposal for a survey made in a. paper read by Dr. C. H. Blakeny, Moncton, N. E.

He traced briefly both the ad- vantages and disadvantages of ths Maritimes and spoke of the nat- ural wcalth while regretting that 'the tide of immigration was always Wvest. He thought that to evolve any practical plan there must be a full understanding of our economic position and its causes. a summary made of our industrial psslbilities, and an appreciation of our regional disabilities. Dr. Blakcuy stated that without the true facts concerning these matters no solution can ever be found.

He called for full co-operation between the various social, political and industrial groups as he re- marked that we "are sadly in need of R unified policy for the Mari- time Provinces.

In order to ascertain the true economic position of the Maritimes

Detailed Study

Its purpose would be to study advantages and difficulties. includ- ing transportation: discover the force which should make for ccnomic growth and stability; and learn methods calculated to ensure the economic future of the area. They would be asked to determine what industries could most profit- ably be expanded or developed. and what could be done to stimulate venture capital.

Questions asked in the paper oi Dr. Blakeny included the possibil- ity of small business suffering from lack of technical and manage- ment consultants. He also wonder- ed if the Maritimes would have a. chance to share in the Labrador development and in general sug- gested a variety of points which the Commission might well consider.

Also addressing the gathering during the business session was Mr. L. W. Slmms. chairman of the Maritimes Transportation mission who treated with the threat to the economic well-being of the Maritlmes which has been posed by horizontal freight rate increases.

Unfair Burden

The speaker said that recurrent increases are definitely resulting in some long haul consumers in the- Maritimcs bearing a rolat.lvciy greater share of such increases. At. the same time some long haul shippers here are forced to absorl: s. relatively greater . portion of
