JERUSALEM (AP)-A fresh ar- tillery duel between Israeli and E tian forces on the Gaza” strip fron ler heightened tension in the Middle East Friday while United Nations officials were preparing a new peace effort.

The latest clash was brief and apparently was halted by invoking the UN cease-fire appeal that fi- nally ended T h u rs d a y's much bloodier clash. A UN report said 55 Egyptians and four Israelis were killed in border shelling around the town of Gaza Thursday.

The Egyptians claimed one Egyptian soldier was killed in the exchange of gunfire Friday and 63

Egyptian spokesmen accused Is- rael of deliberately planning the in cidents. They said Israel launched "a premeditated attack on the cl- vllian. poplilntlon" to coincide with departure from New York of UN Secretary-General Dag Hammer- skjold with Security Council in- structions to seek means of easing Israeli-Arab tension.

The bureau of statistics reported Friday that at the end of 1954 U.S. capital investment in this country had almost doubled from the fi- gure at the end of 1945.

The 1954 total was 59.822.000.000. compared with 34.990.000.000 nine years earlier. It comprised about three-fourths of the 312.469.000.000 foreign investment in Canada. The bureau's special review of foreign investment in Canada said that in 1953 U.S. investors con- trolled 55 per cent of Canada's mining, smelting and petroleum in- dustrles and 43 per cent of manu- facturing industry. i

Rare Honor For Earl Attlee

LONDON (AP)-The Queen Fri- day named Earl Attlee a Knighl of the Garter. one of the world's oldest orders of chivalry.

The 73-year-old Attlee was La- bor prime ministe from 1945 to 1951 and was created an earl last year after leading the Labor party for 20 years.

The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a rare honor and Brit- aln's highest. In the past it was seli granted commoners or gov- ernment ministers. in recent years. however. the tradition has been broken. Both Sir Winston Churchill anti Prime Minister Eden have received the accolade as commoners.

The order was founded by Ed- ward III at tho height of his glory aflcr the battle of Crccy in law.

OTTAWA (CP) - The Easter bunny finally got around to visiting civil servants. fighting men and the RCMP Friday, leaving a 3117.- 000,000 pay boost which will in- crease federal employee costs this year to more than 51.000.000.000.

spokesmen for some civil serv- ants described the increases. retro- active to Easter Sunday. as "like the person's egg-good in part but not so satisfactory in other direc- tions."

They said the boosts, ranging be- tween sevcn and 10 per cent. should have been made effective as of last Jan. 1. but on the whole they appeared content with the first general pay rise in 28 months.
