In Jen-kins' case the location of the prison camp was missing in addition to his rank.

Earlier a U. N. command spokesman at Mun:-an. Korea. said the lone Canadian.prisoner listed by the Communists was in camp No. 5 at Pyokiong. near the Yalu River, 50 miles northeast of Sinuiju.

Gn-r. John Orval Jenkins. R.C.A.. of Hamilton. 0nt., was one of two Canadians listed as missing by the Canadian army in casualty lists.

The strike vote was called to- day by the executive of the Street Railwaymen's Union (A. F. L.- T. L. C.) as an early-winter snowstorm hit the city, snarling motor traffic and imposing ii heavy load on the crawling trans- portation system. A strike would be the first since the system was taken under public ownership in 1921.

The 4.768 T. T. C. employees, who seek a 15-cent hourly wage increase over their base pay of s1.40 an hour and "fringe" ben- cfiu. will start to vote at 5 AM. tomorrow. Union leaders -said 3. strike legally could be called for 4 P. M. Thursday but no deadline had yet been set.

A majority report of a concil- iation board. rejected by the men. recommended a wage boost of five cents an hour and in- corporation into the wage struc- ture of the 16-cent-an-hour cost- of-living bonus the men how are receiving. The T. T. C: accepted the majority report, saying that any increase above the recom- mended figure would force an in- crease in fares from the present three tickets for 25 cents to a straight 10 cents,

While the voting is under way, Labor Minister Daley of Ontario will confer with T. T. C. and un- ion officials in an effort to avert a walkout.

Explains Plans To Hold Butter Prices Steady

OTTAWA. bet-. 1ll-(CP)- Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today "everyone" has been told there should be "no manipulation" of the price of butter this year because of alleged shortages.

Appearing before a Senate com- mittee to explain legislation estab- lishing an agricultural products board, Mr. Gardiner said the gov- ernment has imported butter which it plans to put on the mar- ket at a time when shortages might be expected to develop.

The government expects to put the butter on the market about the end of February. It is hoped this action will prevent it recur- rence of what happened last year when the price was increased dur- ing the winter.

The government has been buy- ng butteratfromtii (063 cents a pound and making it available to the trade at 03 cents is pound. This protected the producer by guaranteeing him a floor price. The government felt it should also protect the consumer against ex- orbitant prices.

Scnater Jacob.Nico1 (L-Quebec) said he was getting tired of tak- ing orders from "bureaucrats" who

Several senators defended the legislation.

M.r. Gardiner told the commit- tee the government simply wanted a board available to do a job if it needs to he done. The United Kingdom intimated that it. might like to buy some pork products from Cillllldu. through a govern- ment agency.

He doubted if the board would be used to any great extent. It would have no powers of compuls- ion slmilar to those of the war- time boards.

senator Arthur Roebuck (L- Ontario) said the board could go into the whole business of state buying and selling. Mr. Gardiner said that was true. but its funds wel'!'lh'niied to si5.000,000. .

CHICAGO, Dec. 18 - (AP) .. Wide areas of the United States crlnged under a new flurry of wintry weather blows today that sent stonn deaths soaring to 170.

The heaviest snow cover of the season blanketed the midwest. ice storms glazed the northeast. Much colder weather is bearing down on both sections.

A violent storm centre that swept in from the Pacific Ocean

A cold wave and then more snow was forecast for weather-

OTTAWA. Dec. 18 - (OP) -An angry, name-calling debate swirl- ed teday around the Federal Gov- ernment's antl-price fixing legis- lation. It threatened to carry this lingering session of parliament into Christmas week-end and perhaps beyond.

As party lines were drawn around the controversial bill. George Drew warned with a possible hint of filibuster that his Progressive Con- servative forces are prepared to carry on their campaign against it ”fer a long time."

Sharp words were traded across the floor of the chamber as de- bate steamed up on second reading of the bill, which would prohibit lfl'.lIluiaCilll'eI'S from setting the prices at which retailers must sell their merchandise.

James Sinclair (L - Coast-Cap- llanol. chairman of a parliament- ary committee which studied the legislation. charged that the Pro- grvssive Conservatives were in- dulging in "obstruction" and were the "historic friends of privilege, mtinopely and reaction."

Donald Fleming (PC - Toronto Ezlington), a member of that com- mittee. levelled the accusation - later withdrawn and modified - that Mr. Sinclair and Justice Min- ister Garson, sponsoring the bill, had dispensed "rotten justice" in the committee.

How Forces Line Up

Here is how the opposing forces lined up after the first full day of debate on the measure:

Liberals The legislation will strengthen anti-combines statutes by making prosecution more effect- ive; assist the consumer by giving him a better break on retail prices; help to bring down price-maln- trained items.

Progressive Conservatives -- the legislation will destroy the small

7 merchants by leaving them to the

mercy of predatory price wars: will not assist the consumer since there is no proof that the public will benefit: moved a motion to kill the lcgislation for this session at least.
