Three Clmese Counter-Attacks Are llepulsed

TOKYO, March 10 - (Saturday) (AP) - The massive United Nations offensive rolled forward Friday, leaving thousands of Chin- ese and North Korean dead piled amid the crises? snow-capped mountain peaks of Central Korea.

Only on the extreme eastern end of the '10-mile line were the Reds able to hold their own. There. North Koreans threw a reinforced regiment against Republic of Korea (R. O. K.) lines. one South Korean regiment gave ground but, fresh troops contained the attack.

The Chinese threw three coun- ter-attacks against the U. S. 2-lth Division on the west-central front Friday night but were repulsed. The battalion-size thrusts were the strongest Communist reaction yet to the Eighth Army offensive on this front. They took place north- west of Ynngpyong.

Enemy Withdrawal?

There were increasing signs of a general enemy withdrawal in the western sector as Allied troops gain- ed up to four miles.

On the west-central front. the Commonwealth 27th Brigade fought its way ahead more than a mile east of Yongdu, key hub on the road to the Communist stronghold of Hongchon. The Reds offered only spotty resistance as they were driv-

Mr. Matheson explained that at the last meeting of the latter gmup, held in Charlottetown. he had suggested what he thought should be done with regard to mentally retarded children. He had proposed a. Maritime school or home for the care of these children, to be established in Prince Edward Island, and to be contributed to by all the Atlantic Provinces. The advice of the meni- al health group. and the attitude of the child welfare group are be- ing obtained in connection with this suggestion. ,

"We need such a home." Mr. tdatheson said. "It. was brought to our attention last year by the Women's Institutes. As yet. how- ever, we have not the faintest idea of how many mentally retarded children we have in this Province."

F oresoes Brighter Outlook

, Financially

Optimism with respect to the outcome of the last fiscal confer- ence at Ottawa was voiced in the Legislature yesterday by Hon. W. E. Darby, Provincial Treasurer and Attorney General, in speaking in the Draft Address debate.

"The conference," he said. "lies not been concluded, but certain tentative offers have been made. While we cannot make any pronouncement in that regard. I might say that the offer that was made will be considerably greater than what we were receiving in the past. and with a reasonable economy we should be nails to carry on our public services adequ- ately and to the full advantage of the people of this Province."

Speaking on the Opposition amendment to the Address which subsequently was defeated on a straight party vote. Mr. Darby maintained that the arguments advanced in the amendment were without merit.

"Instead of being in a deplor- mble condition, I don't think there was ever so much evidence of prosperity throughout the Prov- ince as there is at the present time," he said. citing in this con- nection purchases made in farm machinery, increase in livestock, and cash income as recorded in ;Bureau of Statistics reports.

Responsible Government, he continued. means that the exe- cutive branch of government. is responsible to Parliament and submits its notions to the people at a general election. only if it fails thcrcin can it properly be accused of fnilliig to carry out "the system of Responsible Gov- ernment granted to this Province one liunrlrz-d years ago."

In the matter of talslnii over the packing plant after the meat- packers' strike. the Government had not only submitted its actions to the Legislature. but also to the people in the general election of 1947: "and the people sent back twenty-four out of thirty members to show that they approved of the Government's action."

BELGRADE, March 9 - (AP) - Premier Tito's Government enu- tloned the Yugoslav people tozlay to align themselves against the pos- sibility of an invasion from the Russian-led states and protested of- fir-lally against Soviet military movements around its borders.

The warning came from Deputy Foreign Minister Ivo Vejvoda Hr delivered it in issuing a 481-page white paper in which the Govern- ment accused Russia of annlyinz V "direct military pressure" against this independent-minded Commun- ist nation.

As he finished his statement, Veivoda was asked at a pres con- ference:

"Does the Government of Yugo- slavia expect aggression from Rus- sia. or the satellite states this year? Or an invasion?”

He replied:

"The Government of Yugoslavia is not engaged in the business of making prophesies. But the docil- nfonts (in the white paper) do show that the people in Yugoslavia should be concerned and ready for any possible occurrence."

Widening Breach

The white paper itself traced the developments of the wideninc breach between Titois Government and the Moscow-dominated Comin- form since their break nearly three years ago. It said there had been neaarly 2,000 border incidents lie-
