Famous Itlanes Will Undergo Rigid Inspection

By PHIL CLARKE LONDON, (AP) - Britain Mon- day night grounded all her world- famed Comet jet airliners for a searching inspection, after the third fatal Comet crash in 10 months.

Thirty-live-persons were killed in Sunday's crash off Elba. High- ranking British airline and civil aviation officials pushed a probe into the tragedy.

The grounding, temporarily sus- pending British Comet services be- tween London, south Africa, and the Far East at midnight. was ordered by the government-owned British overseas Airways Corpora- tion, BOAC said it had taken its 'seven four - jet, 500-mile-an-houn l

plus Comets out of service, for "a minute and unhurried technical examination.” It called the action "a measure of prudence."

Canada. France Informed

BOAC said the ministry of trans- port and civil aviation concurred in the decision. Canada and France were informed of the action so they could make their own decisions re- garding their Comets.

Two French airlines, the govern- ment - subsidized Air France and the DFlV3t-ely-owned Aero Mariti-me Transport Company. also an. nounced they were grounding their British-made Comets for the time being.

Three Comets are operated by Air France, three by the French Union Acro Maritime Transport Co.. and two by the Royal Canin- diaii Air Force. The RCAF said its Comets will remain in opera- tion, for the time being at least.

Three BOAC Comets were aboard: at Singapore. Johannes- burg, and Tokyo. The company salt. they would be flown back to Lon- don without paying passengers BOAC. is still serving its Comet lines with conventional propeller planes.

SHERROOK-E. Que. (CP)-Fire early today caused an cstiniated 520.000 damage to the residence of the Roman Catholic Teaching Or- der of the Holy Cross Brothers at nearby St. Joseph de Wate-(rvlllr, forcing the brothers out into 2.5- helow-zero weather.

The residence is located but a short dlisiflllcr from an niphannge. The oi-pliniiage. however, was not tlireatrncd.

It was believed the fire started from a candle, Candles were used when electric power failed,

The fire is believed caused by an over-heated furnace.

Vounteers from nearby villages came to help local residents, 350 of whom were left homeless in the 1952 fire uhich caused damage es- timated at 31,500,000.

At that time 40 homes were de- stroyed and flames had swept down a street and stopped at the church.

"Mr. King, I believe. meant two things by that phrase: that the racial background of our people would be maintained within reas- onable hnlance and. because he was not a Presbyterian for noth- ing, he also meant that we would avoid an influx of persons whose viewpoint differed substantially from that of the average. respect- able.

By IAN M. BALL Canadian Press Staff Writer

TORONTO, (C?)-Graham suter. the 34-year-old British actor and lecturer who has just arrived in Canada to start on tun 8,000-mile, three - month assignment as atl- judicator for the 1954 Dominion Drama. Fusllvnl, says he has been told to expect an "unusually high standard" in Canadian amateur tlleartte.

And he feels the explanation may lie in the dearth of professional companies across Canada. "Many talented people who might ordinar- ily make their way into the pro- fessional theatre have no altar- natlve but to stay in amateur groups", he said at a prms con- ference here Monday.

Mr. suter will travel by plane and train across Canada judging regional drama festivals. The win- ning groups Each region will take part in the Dominion festival, scheduled for the week of May 10 in Hamilton.

Seeks Imagination s

"No actor will get many marks from me if he doesn't bring his imagination onto the stage." he said. "Many nmltcura are content just to plod along and give an ac- curate performance of a play. but that is not good enoug ."

He will be making allowances for the varying conditions under which amateur groups acres the country have been assembled and do their stage work. Already he has started to obtain from regional festival di- rectors rleioillr of the background of the player! in competing ama- teur groups. ,
