RIVIERE DU> LOUP, Que., July 2-—(CP)-Murder was the talk of this south shore St. Lawrence town tonight-the shotgun slaying of a banker and his taxi-driveras they drove over a lonely beck- country road about 10 miles fran

I9.

And as the city morgue shelter- ed the mutilated bodies of bank manager Louis Philippe Breton and taxi-driver Wilfrid. Dumas of Trois Pistoles, police held one man as a material witness, in the Dom- inion Day double killing.

lie is 35-year-old Maurice Lebel, a. trucker from the hamlet of St Guy. who was arrested as he cross- ed a Riviere du Loup street.

Breton and Dumas died on a deserted dirt road which links Cacouna. with St. Modest and poi- ioe theorized they were attacked from the but seat of their car.

Both men appeared to have been sprayed with shotgun fire. Prom the road a farmer picked up a .20 gauge slug which he turned over to police.

Town gossip was that police iln- mediaiely act watch for Lebei af- ter being informed he sought i‘ ' l assistance from the Banque Canadiennc Nationals at Trois Pistoles where Irma was

manager.

Police would not confirm this

report. But it was certain they had a ‘Trois Piatolcs resident point out Label on the street. ‘man they grained him. - . The bodies oflarefon and Dumas were found '15 feet apart near Dumas’ taxi. Breton had been so badly battered about the head he was scarcely reccgnilble. A bear bottle stood mint in! Dumas‘ battfled head.

Yugoslavs Send Three Sharp Notes TofiAlbania

LONDON, July 2~Yugo:ia.vla sent three sharp notes to Albania today and in one accused Albania of “gross and ofiensive acts aimed at destroying the prestige ‘of Yugoslavia!“

In the other notes, as reported by Tanjug, the Yugoslav news ag- ency, Marshal Tiio’s Government protested against two specific de- velopments:

1. That Albania had ordered the cancellation of all exerts to Yugoslavia until further notice.

2. That Albania had stopped construction on two railway lines to the Yugoslav frontier.

A Belgrade radio broadcast pick- ed up in London by Tanjug said the Yugoslav Government told Ai- banla that Yugoslavia cannot hold. itself responsible “for the conseq- uences which might result" if the offensive acts are repeated.

The notes, presented to the Al- banian Embassy in Belgrade today, reminded Albania sharply of her economic dependence on Yugoslav- la

They expanded on the first Yugo- slav charges against her neighbor Communist state which were voiced yesterday soon sitter Albania had supported the Russian-led Comin- form in its criticism of Tito's lead- ership in the Yugoslav Communist Party.

One note complained that Ai-

The cancellation of exports, Yugoslavia said. “is fully incom- prehensive and a violation of ex- 15ml! agreements" and "a gross act directed against Yugoslavia."

Full Point

OTTAWA, July 2~(CP)-—With higher food costs mainly respon- sible, the official cost-of-living in- dex jogged ahead a full point to 154.3 at June 1 from 153.3 the previous month, the Bureau of Statistics reported today.

This meant the official Govern- ment measurcment of living costs, ‘based on 1935-39 equals 100, shows

a fiiti-per-cent increase since August, 1939. The June 1 figure compared

with 134.9 a year before.

It was meat and vegetables, the Bureau reported, that boosted the index during May. The food in- flex moved up from 1.91.2 at May 1 to 193.9.

Other changes in living costs were comparatively minor, cloth. ing advanced from 178.5 to 174.8, while scattered advances in coal and coke changed the fuel-and- iignt index from 122,7 to 1343 and home furnishings moved up fractionaily frcm 161.9 to 162,

lhTe removal of the tax on thea- tre admlsslOns in the Federal

Red-hot Atomic Layer Above Earth

PASADENA, Calif, July Z—(A.Pl —Diswvery of a fourth layer oi.’ excited atoms above the earth, which reflects radio waves and pos- slbly stands ns an obstacle to in- terplanetary rocket flight, was re- ported yesterday by Dr. Donald Menzel, Harvard University as- tronomer.

The depth of the new layer is not known but it has a temperature of 1,800 degrees fahrenheit, Dr. Men- zel said. This is enough to make iron red hot.

Documents captured from the Japanese in Sumatra during the war furnished tire clue leading to the discovery, which was made by Dr. Menzel and Dr. Dana Bailey of the United States Bureau of Standards.

The new layer, which Menzei, calls the G layer, is about 250 miles up, and is hotter thaa-athe F-2 layer below IV.

This indicates that rockeleers will have to contend with two ievcis in which temperatures are high enough to heat iron to the

WASHINGTON, July 2 — (AP) —A new coal strike threat arose in the United States today.

It involves 30,000 to 40,000 workers in the so-colied "captive" "comparrv-owned-unlnes owned by steel companies. They are mem- bers of John L. Lewis’ United Mine Workers (Ind). whose 400.- 000 members went 0n strike ear- iier this year.

The trouble came to a. head t0- day when l8 steel and coal com- panies refused to sign the new, contract agreed to by a majority oi the coal industry Tile non- signing companies asked the Na- tional Labor Relations Board to find the Union guilty of unfair labor practices.

All thc miners now are taking their annual vacation. They are due hack at work next Tuesday, but Lewis’ Union newspaper has hinted broadly that the employees c’ ‘be Motive mines will not work unless the new contract has been signed by them.

(A captive mine produces ccni used exclusively by the industry which owns it.)

The new contract which Lewis negotiated with the majority of the industry became effective yes- terday. Among its major provis- ions are a. Sl-a-day increase for the miners, and a doubling of the miners welfare and pension fund royalty b0 20 cents a ton of coal
