Calves somewhat older than those formerly nominated may appear next year in the junior show-rings of the Province, should the other breed associations en- dorse the recommendation adopt- ed yesterday at the annual meet- ing of the P.E.I. Ayshire Breed- ors’ Club.
Proposed by Keith Boswell, Vic- toria, and seconded by Andrew MacRae, East Royalty, the mo- tion unanimously approved by the Club recommends that calf clubs be permitted to rear and exhibit
. animals born between the first of
October and the last of March. Previous birth limits were be- tween January 1 and April 30. Supporters of the motion point- ed out that fall calves were nor- mally more available, and the fact that the club members would be required to look after their dharges all winter would provide much better training for them. Mr. S.C. Wright, the deputy
- minister of agriculture said that * the department was willing to go . along with the recommendations
of the various breed associations, but he expressed the opinth that the fieldmen responsible for this project would find it difficult to viSit the various club members dining the first few months.
CLUBS IN FAVOR
The clubs would welcome a move the older age groups Mr.
Sterling MacRae a club leader
for several years, asserted.
noted that 22 calves had been
bonused in 1958, in comparison with only 11 the year before.
During the day-long meeting, highlighted by the Club’s annual banquet held at Birch Court at midday, Certificates of Merit- orious Production were present- ed td four Island Ayrshire breeders: Heb er MacPhail, Clyde River; Earle MacRae, New Wiltshire; Windsor Bell, South Melville; and A. MacRae and Sons, Charlottetown.
In addition cash bonuses for high producers were presented to N. W. MacLeod and Sons, Cardigan R. R.; Earle MacRae, New Wiltshire; A. B. and F. T. MacRae. Charlottetown R. R.; A. MacRae and Sons, Charlotte- town, R. R.; Colonel F. I. An- drew, Charlottetown: and the local Experimental Farm.

YALE, B.C. (CE—French skin (liver Louis Lourmals stood on a railway right-of—way above the swirling, roaring Fraser River Tuesday and scowled mightily.
“I am mad like ’ell with this river,” said the 38 . year - old Breton, who had earlier defeated the angry Fraser by swimming through its most fearsom cata- ract—the Hell’s Gate Canyon.
Lourmais is attempting to swim the great river from Prince George to the sea, a distance ,of 600 miles. He is the first person known to have conquered the can- you.

PARIS (Reuters) —— The 15 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization agreed Wed- nesday to step up their contribu- tions to the alliance’s European “shield” to counter what Ameri- can leaders described as the growing threat of Russia‘s mili- tary might.
Gen. Lauris Norstad, American commander . in - chief of Allied- forces in Europe, cracked the whip over delinquent members at Wednesday's losed session of the ministerial council called to discuss NATO‘s military program and the relative power of the So- viet Union.
Conference 'sources said he ap- pealed strongly to members to fulfill their obligations to the shiell forces—still understood to be nine divisions short of the tar- get of 30 divisions. Norstad also “reproached” certain members for promising more than they had contributed, the sources said.
Defence Secretary McElroy of the United States added weight to Norstad's demands by warn. ing the ministers and military chiefs that the Soviet threat is still growing and “it is impera- tive that our deterrent and de- fence keep pace with those threats."
McElroy also issued a blunt warning to the Soviet bloc, re- peating President Eisenhower‘s pledge that the US would “come at once and with all appropriate force to the assistance of NATO nations subjected to armed at- tac .”
France was reported to be one of the main tango-ts of Norstad’s “reproach” to members who had fail-ed to meet their NlATO obliga- V ,.,,..y .,-- r Norstad also was reported to have complained vigorously to West German Defence Strauss about “very regrettable delays" in carrying out his coun-

Rocket Engine
WASHINGTON (AP) The United States hope of being the first country to roc"et a man into space took an upward turn Wed- nesday—at a prospective cost of about $200,000,000.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration gave Rock- etdyne. a division of North Amer- ican Aviation, Inc, Canoga Park, Calif, the job of designing and developing a huge engine with up to 1.500.000 pounds of thrust.
“Performance flig h t rating tests of the engine will be based
“but it may eventually propel manned satellites and space craft.”
It is estimatel the new super- rocket project will take four to six years.
Wednesday night, an intensive U.S. program designed to put a man into space was revealed by the space agency. Its name: Pro- ject mercury.

Aviation Organization, with head- quarters in Montreal.
The five - year appointment starts next summer.
Mr. Macdonm'l, No. 2 man in the permanent ranks of the for- eign service, with an experience in international affairs reaching back to 1934, follows a precedent set by such Canadians as Gen. E. L. M. Burns, Hugh Keenley- side and Dr. Brock Chisholm, who left government service to work with international organiza- tions.
In his new post, the 49—year-old diplomat, who has served as far afield as Czechoslovakia, Indo- china and Egypt, will receive $28,000 a year, compared with the $15,000 he canned as righthand' man to Norman Robertson, per- manent head of the external af- fairs department.
The resolution finally adopted at Wednesday’s session com- mitted council members to en- deavor to meet the military re- quirements detailed in a secret five-year plan laying down man- power and armaments quotas for each member power. This was reported to include nuclear mis- sile armament in Europe.
While Norstad and McElroy pressed for stronger European defence forces, State Secretary Dulles told delegates of another Communist threat - this one aimed at getting the U.S. out of the Far East.

These were among highlights of Dulles’ declarations on the Far East:
Peiping's campaign to regiment the Chinese people is “perhaps as ruthless and cruel as anything history has known."
At the height of the Quemoy crisis the United States concen- trated in the area “the greatest mass of firepower, both naVal and air, that had ever been in one place before." Some of these forces have since withdrawn.
He had no doubt the Commu- nists would try again to drive the United States from the Far East, but did not think these efforts would succeed. The Warsaw talks with the Red Chinese have ac-

Mining Ass'n‘Asks Union 5
By JOHN E. BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (C‘Pl—The Canadian
Metal Mining Association Wed- nesday urged the federal govern- ment to make Canadian unions subject to the Combines Investi- gation Act to curb their “mono- palistic tendencies."
The association also said in a 10-page brief presented to Labor Minister Starr'that most Cana- dian companies are opposed to voluntary revocable checkoff of union dues—collection of dues for union membership by companies.
The brief was presented follow- ing a request some time ago by Mr. Starr for expressions of opin- ion by industry and labor on the operation of the Federal Indus- trial Relations and Disputes In-
vestigation Act.
W. S. Wansbrough of Toronto, managing director of the assoc-ia- tion. said later that Mr. Starr made no comments on the brief during a one-hour interview with a five-man association delega- tion.
The association's brief said l-a- bor unions have become so big and powerful that they should be required to become legally re- sponsible bodies subject to pro- visions of anti-combines legisla- lion.
“in no other way can the mon. opolistic tendencies a nd prac- tices of labor unions be curbed," the association said.
Labor unions long had ceased to be small and struggling organ. iza‘tions. They now were big bus- iness. more powerful in numbers and often in resources that the

PUBLIC PROTECTION
The right of the public and shareholders of companies to be protected against wrongful acts by companies was no longer open to question.
“But no such protection is of- fered to the public or to union members against wrongful acts or abuses on the part of labor unions and their officers."
The brief also urged stronger penalties under federal legisla- lion for illegal strikes and lock- outs and decertification of unions that authorize or support illegal strikes. It said decisions of the Canada Labor Relations Board on certification of unions should
be subject to judicial review.
d’llberville Wedn‘sd‘ay started hacking out a channel 200 yards wide through ice packs up to 15 feet thick between the head of Lake St. Peter and Lanoraie, a distance of about 10 miles.
Expectations were that this path would be cleared some time today and that the d’Ilberville could start the delicate operation of actually freeing the ships.
While she gnawed open a chan- nel, the d‘lberville's sister ships —the NB. Maclean and the Et- nest Lapoin-te—were keeping the ice moving through Lake St. Peter. No obstacles that could hold up ocean - found shipping were reported between Sorel and Quebec city.
The St. Lawrence River chan- nel engineer's office said great care must be exercised in free- ing the 11 trapped vessels.
Channel experts here said it will likely be Friday before all the ships are moving toward the Atlantic again.
Shortly after noon Wednesday the Liberian freighter Elimarie left Sorel for the journey down- river. She will be assisted across the lake by the NB. Maclean.
rllhe hard - pressed d’lberville will turn her attention after com- pleting the Lanoraie job to a new ice jam off Cap. St. Michel, 14 miles below Montreal. This jam now extends from the eastern end of Montreal Island to the

Deputy Premier Of Russia : Would Like To Visit Us.
NATO To Reinforce Shield To Meet Russian ‘Threa’r'
Is Close Red Chief Associate
WASHINGTON (AH—The So- viet government was reported Wednesday night to have advised the United States that Deputy Premier A n a s t a s I. Mikoyan would like to visit Washington in the near future. Such a visit could mean high-level but infor- mal Soviet-American talks on 1 wide range of issues.
Mikoyan is a close associate of Premier Khrushchev and is con- sidered by Western experts on Sovietgovernment lobein- terested primarily in promoting trade between Russia and other countries.
State department officials de- clined comment on the report Wednesday night. It was under- stood, however, that the approach had been made by the Soviet government to the Us. Embassy in Moscow within the last day or so.
Mikoyan was represented as wanting to come here for the specific purpose of visiting Soviet Anibassador Menshikov. Menshi- kov has been a constant advocate of expanded Soviet trade with the United States ::i.:ce he ar- rived home early this year.
U.S. officials have replied to his propaganda campaign with the argument that the Soviet gov- ernment is not actlally taking advantage of the trade opportu- nities already open to it with the us. and other Western comim'es. the specific ,ques- hon U16. officials now is whether they think it would be a good idea for one of the top men in the Soviet ruling group to come to Washington early next year. The impression in official quarters here is that it probably would be, but no final decision has been made, informants said.
With a view to implementing an great many of the recomnenda- tions made by some 18 Royal Commissions, APEC has appoint- ed a committee of senior business- men to gather together and study these reports.
Reading the committee is Hom- er Zwicker, of Lunenburg, for- mer president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Austin' A. Scales, Charlottetown and Frank Cobert, retired bank supervisor from Saint John, N.B.
Dr. Frank MacKinnon, presi- dent of APEC said yesterday. "The findings of thes senior busi- nessmen of great judgemnt and experience and their appraisal of this matter will be of obvious value to the region."
Dr. MacKinnon noted that with 18 Royal Commissions called to study conditions in the Atlantic Provinces, many important rec- ommendations made by these bodies have ever been lmplment- ed. “It will be the duty of the APEC committee to find out why”, he said.
Committee Named To Study Commission Recommendation
ment of existing industries. “AP EC is anxious that a closer study of these findings should be made".
Recalling (the Dawson report of 1943,, Dr. MacKinnon said there were many recommendations re- garding industrial improvement and development. He felt that the report of the Royal Commission on coastal shipping revealed many problems that should be studied and stated that the Gordon report left many questions about Marl- time economy which obviously should be answered.
When asked about APEC’s sta- tus in the rhabilitation of Spring- hill, Dr. MacKinnon has offered all its services to the Nova Scotia government, the town of Spring- hill and the Industrial Estate Corporation. “We shall co—openatc fully in whatever way possible," he added.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -— A four-cornered red cap, one of the emblems of prince: of the Roman Catholic Church, was pre- sented here Wednesday by the Pope to each of a) new cardinals.
The caps, called birettas, were placed on the heads of the new members of the Sacred College of Cardinals at a 45-minute cere- mony in the Vatican's consistor- ial hall.
The presentation of the biret- tas was one of several ceremon- ies spread over a four-day period to induct the newly designated cardinals into the college. ’
On Monday Pope John created 23 cardinals—13 Italians and 10 non-Italians—at a private consis- tory in the same hall, bringing to 74 the members of the sacred college.
REASON FOR INCREASE
In raising the membership of the college above 70, for the first time since that number was set 1 1586, Pepe John said he was Effluenced by the needs of the towing church and particularly its central government in Rome.

One of them, Msgr. Giuseppe Fietta, former papal nuucio to Italy, received his biretta earlier from Italian President Giovanni Gronchi in accordance with an ancient privilege granted certain Catholic heads of state, including those of France, Spain and Por- tu-gal.
Two other cardinals, the nun- cio in Lisbon and the Archbishop of Seville, will receive their biret- tas from the Portuguese and Spanish heads of State.
CLIMAX T0 INITIATION
The climax of the four—day init- iation into the college will come Thursday morning in a' public consistory at St. Peter’s Basilica.
At this, one of the church‘s most solemn and splendid cere- monies, the Pope will confer the red hat, chief symbol of the car- dinals’ princely rank.
Immediately afterward, Pope John will hold another secret consistory at which he will pre- sent I topaz ring to each new cardinal and assign him to a titu-
