T Rail-Truclt Rate War Starts

O'l'!'AWA (OP)-A railway-truck gate war has been prooleimed'on Canada's busiest freight run be- Tortents and Montreal. and truckers Tuesday geared them- selves to meet at least part of the

truck refs war." he said. "Yet at

disaster may now be seen.

"All that the people of Canada

the and of the road along which can do is to hope that the two unbridled competition is- leading industries - rail and truck - may the railroad and the trucking in- survive the inevitable impairment dustries. the spectre of financial of transportation services vital to

national existence."

railways' newest rate

Sharp rail freight ,reductlons went into effect Tuesday on the heavy-volume routs -- latest in a succession of cuts by the rivals - and president 0. M. Parks of the aanadian Trucking Associations said they average 85 per cent.

The Toronto highway transport ex "ve, chief spokesman for the noo.ooo.0oo-a-you for-hire truck- ing industry, said in a statement here that a. rate war is on and predicted its continuance will lead to an "economic debacle."

RESTRICTED SCALE

Meanwhile. other informants in the trucking industry said read operators won't be able to match the full amount of rail rate cuts without courting bankruptcy but will try to bring rates down on a restricted scale.

one estimate was that the truck- ers may be able to, match the new rail rates on about as per cent oi the Montreal-Toronto traffic.

The business is among the most lucrative in the country because it consists largely oi high-valued goods on which freight rates nor- mally are comparatively stiff.

The railways, ' in a noun us their reductions Sunday, said they have been getting a email per- centage of the business as against the truckers. They hoped the new tolls would give them such a volume of tonnage that their over- all revenues would be increased.

one of the types of rail service In which the reductions apply is a relatively new innovation where- by railway-owned highway trailers are carried on flat cars between the two centres, taking goods di- rectly from shipper to receiver.

MOST DBAITIC CUTS

President Parke of CTA in his statement called the new rail rates "the most drastic competitive rate reductions ever made by the Gene- dlan railways."

"Some shippers will reap a fleet- ing advantage in the current rail-

OTTAWA, Sept. iii-(special) - An analysis of the 1953 Prince Ed- ward Island fishing industry is given in a special bulletin issued today by the Dominion Bureau of statistics. Total value of last.year's catch of fish and crustaceans was 34.049000 or roughly a quarter- of a million dollars higher than the value of the previous years catch.

Lobster was undisputed king both in volume and value and ac- counted for more than half of the total catch. The 1953 lobster har- vest of 0.998.000 pounds was 3. mil- lion pounds less than the 1952 landings but its value was 32,542.- OOO or nearly 8200.000 more than the value of the previous years catch.

Secohds only to lobsters returns to Island fishermen and oyster farmers were oysters. As was the case with lobsters, while the actual volume of oysters dredg- ed wss higher in 1052. value of the harvest last year was 3185.000 or 822.000 higher than the prev- ious year.

There was a drop of two million pounds in the landings of hake in 1953 compared to the previous year and value of the bake catch drop- ped from the 1952 figure of 5211.800 to 6167.800. Values of other im- portant fish species caught in Is- land waters in 1903 were smclts. Iles.00O: cod, eissooo; haddock, 3149.000: plaice. Ill'I,000: herring, 301.000: miscellaneous, 3576.000.

In 1949. the army introduced what is called the "non-tarnish- able" button. They are duller than the old brass buttons but they don't have to be shined.

A typical comment: "How can you look smart on parade with these dull buttons? They make us look dull. too."

Some units ordered the non- tsrnishable buttons cut off great- coats and the old type sewn on.

Segregation Issue

At Milford, Dr. " ymond Cobbs. school superintendent. ordered the aohools closed after reporting tele- phoned threats of violence if Negroes were allowed to attend classes in the previously all-white high -school.

School doors were shut Monday after the school board learned of a protest march planned by anti- integretionists.

Violent Storm In Western Ontario

TORONTO (GP)-A sudden violent storm described in places as a "bsb y tornado" Tuesday swept through west- ern Ontario cutting power lines. ripping limbs from trees. knocking over television serials and releasing more than an half an inch of rain in so minutes in many centres.

Residents of Barrie,, 55 miles north of Toronto. saw s. small funnel-shaped twister sweep in off Lake simooe during the height of the downpour and cut diagonally across the town, causing some damage to the business district.

Reporters Try Job On Street

TORONTO (GP)-Two Telegram reporters borrowed picks. shovels and rubber boots Monday and helped dig on Yonge street.

The city's main thoroughfare has been dug up many times during the last five years as a. result of subway construction and its after- math. Much of downtown Yonge street still is loose earth and mud, with bulldozers and steamshovels operating among the barricades.

William Bragg wrote Tuesday that he and Fred Jones worked undetected among the crews.

"We levelled off some piles of dirt with shovels. We carried off hunks of broken sidewalk.

"And then, just like the regular workers seem to a. we undid all that we had done--piled up the earth we had levelled off and put the bunks oi sidewalk back where we found thedifl.

Aillee Tells Of Visit To Russia. China

MONTREAL (CPI Former prime minister Attic of Britain said Tuesday night it is "an irony of history that the Chinese regard the Americans as the great ex- ponents of imperialism."

Nearing the end of a round-the- world trip in which he visited Rus- sia and Red China, Mr. Attlce took note of criticism aimed at him and declared it is vital for the West to understand what is happening in China. The visit to China had been the main object of the trip. '

The Labor chief's speech was recorded for the CBC before he took off for Britain on the final leg of his tour. It also was sched- uled for broadcast over the ABC and Mutual networks in the United states.

He said the ironic side of U. 5.- Chinese relations arose in that the Americans, despite their historic hate of anything colonial. now are regarded as imperialistic by the Chinese whom they had helped.

''I can thoroughly understand the feeling of our friends in the U- S-." he said. They had "suf- fered heavy losses and behaved with great generosity to China for many years."

BAD OOUNSELLOIS

Nevertheless, it was well to re- member that "emotions of that kind are bad counsellors."

Mr. Attlee, who arrived here early Tuesday from San Francisco via Winnipeg and Vancouver. spoke of an earlier visit to the west coast "when our hopes of world peace were high" and ihq United Nations was being formed.

Then prime minister. he headed Britain's delegation to San Fran- cisco when the UN was born- "Wa sought to bring together people of conflicting ideologies in the hope they would work together.

Nations General Assembly as its first business Tuesday overrode Soviet demands and shelved for 1954 any action on the tension-ridden questions of seating Red China.

The vote was 43 to 11. It was the third straight year the assembly had taken such action.

'Iucsday'a vote was virtually the same as that last year, when a similar proposal was approved 44 to lo. Denmark switched from the affirmative to the negative to ac- count for the single additional vote cast against the proposal. Canada voted with the majority.

Britain and France joined the United States in urging postpone- ment of action. even though Bri- tain has recognized the Red Chi- nese government. A British spokes- man told the assembly this is not the time to consider the question.

LODGE PROPOSAL

The roll-call was on a proposal by Henry Cabot Lodge. chief of the American delegation.

. The members voting against the Lodge resolution were Burma, Etjelorussia. Czechoslovakia, Den- mark. India, Norway, Poland Swe- den, soviet Ukraine, Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Abstaining were Afghanistan, E g y p t, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia. Syria and Yemen.

After this decision the assembly elected Eeico N. ,Van Kleffens, for- mer foreign minister of the Neth- erlands .as president for this year. He received 45 votes. Prince Wan Walthayakon, foreign minister of Thailand .had withdrawn from the contest but got three votes. Twelve countries abstained.

The assembly will complete its organization today with the elec- tion of seven vice-presidents and seven committee chairmen. who will serve as its steering body.

Just before the vote on the Red china issue, Mrs. Vijayn Lakshmi Pundit. outgoing president and sis- ter of Indian Prime Minister Nehru. ruled against anrattarnpt by V. K. Krishna Menon, her brother's top adviser on foreign affairs, to delay the question untill later in the assembly session.

PRQTESTED MOVE

Menon protested that he had not had a chance to debate the issue. He said the proposal for postpone- ment was out of order.

Krishna Menon argued that the assembly must await a report of the credentials committee for a debate on the issue. Mrs. Pandit ruled that the assembly by de- cldlng to take up the Lodge reso- lution had decided what it wanted to do.

The soviet Union's first deputy foreign minister. Andrei Vishinsky. raised the question as the session opened. He waited only until Mrs. Pandit had made her good-bye speech as assembly president.

Visblnsky said the Iwork of the UN cannot succeed until the Red Chinese are admitted. He formally proposed that the assembly oust the representatives of the "ku- mintag clique." as he described Nationalist China. and seat a dtle- gate from Pelping.

Lodge declined to discuss the substance of the question, but pro- posed that the assembly decide not to consider during the current year any proposals to exclude the Na- tionalist Chinese or sent the Red Chinese. T

Quebec Disregard:

Decision By

Privy Council; To Regulale Trucking

By BERTBAND TIIIIAULT Canadian Press staff Writer

QUEBEC (CP)-Transport Min- ister Antoine Rivard of Quebec announced Tuesday the Quebec government will continue its juris- diction over interprovincial and in- ternational t r a n s p o rt despite a Privy Council decision that placed it in federal government hands.

The statement was a new shot in the volley of federal-provincial controversy that has been mount- ing for two weeks.

in political circles it was felt the statement by Mr. Rivard. who is also solicitor-general of Quebec and very close to Premier Dup1eI- sis, means the Quebec government will answer Prime Minister St. Laurent's week-end speech with actions rather than words.

Mr. Rivard addressed the Que- bec Automotive Transport Associa- tion which had submitted a brief to him suggesting among other things that Quebec "accept on a temporary basis the offer of Ot- tawa to turn over federal jurisdic- tion on interprovincial and inter- national transport to the prov- inces."

AWARD FOLLOWED APPEAL

Control was awarded to the fed- eral government by a Privy Coun- cil set last Feb. 22 following an appeal against it by Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Alberta. British Columbia, New Brunswick and Quebec supported them in the appeal.

The decision was the council's last before the Supreme Court of Canada was decreed the highest tribunal in Canada.

it ended a lengthy legal battle. Last March the federal govern- ment called a conference of provin- cial higbwaya ministers to study the possibility of handing over to the provinces the right to regulate highway traffic.
