Nw Passenger Doaohes For 0.N.lt.

luONTREAL. Que, Dec. 4—-’I'he piacing of an order for twenty five de-luxe passenger coaches for the Canadian National Railways. ivas announcd here today by RC. Vaughan, C.M.G., chairman mid pncsident of the company. The new oars will be built by Canada Car and Foundry.

The value of equipment orders outstanding for the CNR. is now brought to $35.500.000 said Mr. Vaughan in reviewing the equip- ment position of the system. In addition, there is also underway a large modernization and rehabil- itation progrsmme for passenger equipment in company shops. "During the war", Mr. Vaughan said. “new passenger equipment could not be obtained. and since the end of hostilities we ha/ve been able to introduce into service pnly e email number of modem sleep- ing, parlor and buffet lounge cars. day coaches. dining cars and veri- oue types of freight equipment. We ere doing everything possible to provide good service "and there is hope thet tho equipment sit- uation will improve in i940. Then continues. however to be e shortage of materials, particularly steel, and there is the important factor of high costs of materials and wages to be taken into ac- count whcn considering the num- ber of types of units that can be purchased at the present time.

‘There will be seating space in the new coaches for at) PLSIQIIZnS. and the interior of the car is to be divided into two compartments. The section for non-smokers will seat. 32 persons. and the other. recognizing the increased demand for smoking accommodation, will goat», 2e. A "Hercullto" glass door between the trwo compartments is being introduced as an innovation in railway an‘ dcstgn. In the smoking compartment removable taibies will be provided for lunch- ing or recreational use.

Total Payable For Potatoes Indefinite

OTTAWA. Dec. 5—J. G. Taggart, chairman of the Agricultural Prices Support Board. described any esti- mate of number cf bushels of po- tatoes on which tho government will pay its $1.15 per cwt. support price after April next as pure guesswork.

The estimate of eight million bushels published recently was bas- ed on the extent to which Canada's over-all crop might exceed average. Even assuming that this did rep- resent the Canadian surplus, the support price would apply only to grade 1 potatoes loft in the bins in Prince Edward Island nnd three or four counties in New Brunswick.

“We have mode no estimate whatever of the cost." Mr. Tagger-t explained, “and no one at this stage could make such an estimate. We haven't established how many bushels have been grown iri these areas, much less how many will be left there in the spring."

According to last week's an- nouncement the goverment will pay farmers in the designated

areas $1.15 per cwt. for all grade i potatoes which the inspectors find in the bins after April 1.

In Cauudn the potatoes for which the support price’ is paldare not removed from thc farm.

"We leave them where they are the most value,” Mr. Taggart ex- plained. "The presumption is th-it the farmer will use these potatoes for feed. It is estimated that pota- toes used for feed are worth about 40 to 50 cents per hundred pounds.“

The committee's pamphlet on Communism and education is one of a series and is presented in ques- tion and answer form.

It declared that many Commun- ists and fellow travellers have bor- ed into the American educational system where they constitute "a deadly danger." '

“Besides active teaching in pub- lic schools, private schools, and church schools. from kindergarten: to colleges, they run some schools outright," the committee said.

Before announcing reopening of the investigation, which produced sensational evidence last summer, Stripling said that some “very im- portant" new documents have been turned up.

He said these were separate from the microflimed copies of secret government materlal—chiefly from the State Departmerit-xvhlch were found on Chambers‘ farm.

Stripling said Chambers will be one of the witnesses at the new series of hearings. 1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—- (AP)- Rcprcsentntive Richard Nixon (Rep. Calif.) said tonight new evi- dcnce which the House un-Ameri- can activities committee has un- covervd is "so damnably import- ant" that it may be unwise to make It public.

(The New York Daily News in a Vl/ushington dispatch said the new evidence is expected to provide "the long sought missing link be- tween thc Canadian atom espionage ring and Red agents in the United States")

Nixon sold he will urge the com- mittee, of which he is a member. to cell in Sumner Welles. former Undersecretary of State, us well as present Department officials to ap- praise the effect on international relations if the documents should be disclosed. '
