KOJE ISLAND, Korea, June 10- (CP)-Csnadian soldiers guarding Reds on this strife-torn island are amazed the prisoners didn't escape long ago.

"If we had been the prisoners. with all the equipment these fel- lows have had. we'd be on the out- side now and on the way home." one Canadian officer said.

The Canadians-msmbc is of "B" Company of the 1st Battalion Roy- al Canadian Regimenhssy that

even without firearms the Reds could have made the situation much more difficult than they

did. Many Weapons Possible

They fashioned stout clubs. used by the Red guards manning their compounds, but they could have studded them with metal. They could have produced more barbed- wire flails. and the output of Molo- tov cocktails fr-om" diesel oil and gasoline supplied as kitchen-stove fuel could have been unlimited.

"We could have done it." says the Canadians, "and so could they."

The Canadians. mindful that the prisoners' first duties are to try to escape and to harass their guards. strive for vigilance coupled with self-control.

Their testing time came early. even before they assumed their responsibilities as part custodians of compound 66. They had barely arrived before the Communists took note.

slogans and banners began ap- pearing on the compound's wire. They called the and British troops "satellites of the American imperialists." They pro- claimed: "Canadians, Brltishrand Dutch are employed by Ami (American) imperialists."

sought To Divide

When the King's shropshiro Light Infantry first manned the positions around No. 66 three days before the 3.0.11. arrived. English- speaking North Koreans began caning through the wire:

"we will obey :ii:nglish orders. nlglish soldiers number one (first clsss.)"

They didn't know that part of the guard detail on duty was scot- tish. the rest Irish. Their attempts at dividing British and American soldiers were doomed .from the start. ' Then as the Canadians and Brit- ish continued to ignore the court- ship, they began mocking the troops arms but again got no re- action.

Voters Elect 53 Candidates Al Polls Today

REGINA. June 10-- (CP)-Ma- jor political groups in tomorrow's Saskatchewan general election all predicted sains today as they prepared to get out the voters.

The Liberals forecast ihe over- throw of the C.C.P'. in office for eight years. The C.C.F. looked to moderate advances over its ex- istlng majority. The Social Credit Party, with no members now. figured to cut in heavy on both.

The Progressive Conservatives have only eight candidates in the field. Leader Alvin Hamilton was cautiously optimistic about his own chances in Lumsden and the progpcetl of taking another seat in Saskatoon.

145 Candidates

Besides the four main party groups, there are in the running three independents, two Labor- Progressives (Communists). 0'19 Independent Liberal and one In- dependent Progressive Conserva- tive for a total of 145 contes- tants. There are 53 seats in the Legislature.

While the campalgnlnx ill! been generally quiet in the wind- up stage, late developments in- clude a Liberal attack on the province's new system of sworn ballots for some types of electors. including absentee voters, those at advance polls and those not on the electoral lists. These bal- lots, expected to run to several thousand. will not be counted un-

32nd Annual

The 32nd annual meeting of the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders Association was held yesterday afternoon in the office of the Association at Summer- slde. Directors were present from as far west as Alberta and a good representation of members was on hand from most of the prov- lnces of- Canada.

Mayor Henry W. Wedge of Summcrside was introduced to the gathering and gave a warm .. lcome to the fox breeders and hoped that they would have a very pleasant stay in Summer- side.

The meeting was called to order by the president. Dr. W. E. Rus- sell, Kitchener, 0nt., who asked the secretary, Thomas Carruihers. to read the annual report. This showed a healthy financial posi- tion and was passed unanimously. as was also the directors' report and other reports.

Planting Delayed ' By Adverse Weather

'' Adverse weather has delayed the planting of potatoes this season and a large part of the acreage remains to be planted states the Weekly Potato Bulletin. Rain and wet weather come just as the fields are prepared and ready to plant and then it has to be done all over again. some growers who have had their sets out for some time are reporting losses through bacterial soft rot. Properly cured seed is less perishable by virtue of a protective layer of woody tissue which forms within a few hours. if tmospheric conditions are fav- ourable. Conditions favouring cur- ing are relatively high temperature and high humidity. Cut seed should be stored in a weli-ventilat- ed place. .

The lack of frost in the ground during the winter has permitted the survival of potato tubers in the soil. which normally would have been killed. The diseased specimens among the surviving tubers will serve as potential sources of early infection for. certain important ”iseases of fungus, bacterial and virus origin.

Had Askollfor Power To Seize Steel PER

By Roger B. Greene WASHINGTON, June I0-(AP) -President Truman met a swift rebuff today when he asked Con- gress for power to seize the strike- .bound steel industry. The senate, rejecting his plea, told him to use the Taft-I-fartiey law instead. Tossing the issue back to the White Houise, the chamber voted 49 to 30 to adopt a proposal by Senator Harry Byrd (Dem., Va.) "requesting" Truman to seek a Taft-Hartley anti-strike injunc- tion to meet the steel crisis. The act provides for an 80-day cooling- off period. once an injunction has been granted, before the workers can go out on strike again.

The senate also turned down proposals to give Truman author- ity to seize the steel industry on an emergency basis pending set- tlement ol the dispute.

Only a. few hours earlier. Tru- man had gone before an extra- ordinary joint session of congress to appeal not only for power to take over the steel mills once more but also to raise wages and change working conditons.

In his speech. Truman said specifically he did not want to use the Taft-Hartley law and expres- sed doubt that lt would be auc- cesslul in getting the steel mills back into full production.

some congress members bitter- ly criticized Truman on his doubts about the effectiveness of the Taft-Hartley act. They said he was virtually inviting the steel workers to defy a court injunction.

Meanwhile. chairman Ernst T. Weir of the National Steel Corp- oration issued a statement on be- half of the steel companies de- claring:

”President Truman. in his state- no recognition to the fact that only one real is- sue rcmains in the steel case.

”That is the issue which would require steel companies to im- pose compulsory union membership

strong emphasis on the serious overcrowding in this city was plac- ed last night by Dr. Wendell Mac- Donald. City Health Officer when he presented his report at the reg- ular monthly meeting of the Coun- cil. He said there was a serious hous- ing problem existing and citizens should realize how acute it has be- come in the past 16 years through failure of building to keep pace with the growth of the city. He did not know how it could be over- come, as he realized the city could not go into thereal estate business. But he insisted that something had to be done.

At the same meeting four cit- izens offered a partial solution in agreeing to give the oily land to cut a new road from North River Road down to meet Crestwood Drive and Admiral street. This would permit the opening up for new housing developments of over 30 acres of land. The new road will go between the homes of Mr. Don- ald Macliinnon and his son. L.P.
