p leiiool. Monday,

The full report of Tariff Board statement on the potato tariff question has been received by the P. E. island Potato Mar- ketlng Board and the following wmmary, with comments thereon, has been prepared by the Board manager. Mr. E. W. Campbell:

1. A basic factor in the situa- tion faclng the Canadian potato- grower is the progressive decline in the demand for his product. Total production per annum to- dgy is about what it was in the mug. despite a four-fold increase in population; consumption per capita has declined drastically and appears to be still declining. In g. word. more and more Canadians are consuming fewer and fewer potatoes.

2. With total production almost static-and although potatoes are still grown on almost all farms- the trend has been toward concen- tration of production in relatively few specialized areas, signally out- standing by reason of their con- sianliy-rising yields per acre.

3. This trend toward concentra- tion of specialized production on a commercial basis has had as a concomitant la) increasing resort to expensive power equipment tor planting, spraying. harvesting, gra- ding. and shipping and (b) the in- innsified use of fertilizer. Labor- saving machinery is costly: and capital investment thcreln on a substantial scale can be justified

GETTYSBURG. PI. (AP)-Heart specialist Paul Dudley White pro- n o u ll c e d Fresidaont Eisenhower "out of danger" from his Septem- ber heart attack Saturday night but skirted the second-term issue.

The chief consultant on the pros- ident's case told a press confer- ence that with average luck and common sense care. "it is possible for the president to live for years. and be fully active." Yet he said that "the future is in -the lap of the rods."

The Boston heart expert, who examined Eisenhower on Saturday morning, said his patient has made "excellent and encouraging pro gress" toward will be mid-February. he said. be- fore it will he known how the pres- ident's damaged heart stands up us under increasing mental and phys- ical activity.

The secret? "I have eliminated friction," Bradshaw claims.

In the Omega, cylinder friction- main cause of engine wear-is abolished by ended pistons between gases in the cylinder head.

As a result. an automobile en- gine for the first time in the his- tory of the horselcss carriage will last. longer than the body of the automobile claims.

Hoffmann's party had been in- belled a "French stooge” by the pro - German parties. I-loffmann was forced to resign when the Saarlanders rejected a European- ization plan for the little territory in the Oct. 23 plebiscite, but his party machinery survived.

The three German parties are expected to form a coalition gov- ernment. This will be the first time since 1945 that this 991- squsre-mile border territory has been ruled by political forces with open allegiance to Germany.
