py CABTII. L DAVIDSON

The French cabinet's decision to mpport the pooling of heavy in- muggy was announced by Foreign Minister Robert schuman, long an advocate of closer economic rela- tions with Germany-

To lead off the plan. Bchuman said France is prepared to join her rich Lorraine and soar basin output with that of Germany's in- dustrial Ruhr valley.

Schuman's disclosure followed by . day his talks with state Secre- ury Acheson of the United States, in which the two discussed the best means of bolstering Western Europe to meet the threat of communism.

Will Change Destiny

Pooling of German and PIGII can and steel output, schuman said, "will change the destiny of these regions, for so long dedic- glad to the making of arms for war. from which they have been the most often the victims.”

Under the French plan, Britain and the. West European countries- notably Belgium. the Netherlands. Luxembourg and Italy - would be invited to place their coal and steel resources in the common pool.

chancellor Konrad Adcnauer of west Germany, in Bonn. hailed the proposal as "a. magnanimous step of the greatest possible sig-

nilicance."

Replying to a question. schuman said the plan is open to "any country in Europe. east or west."

Unofficial sources estimate last yea.r'a totel coal production in France and the Bear at G.(l)0.0o0 metric tons. compared to West Germany's 108,000,000 tons. steel production in France and the Saar totalled 10,800,000 tons, these sources said. compared to 9.100,- ooo tons in West Germany. A met- ric ion is 2,340 pounds.

Schuman said West Germany's position must be decided jointly by the three occupying powers and "we will perhaps talk about it" at the meeting of himself. Acheson and Foreign Secretary Bevin in London later this week.

Senator Urges One Government

OTTAWA, May 18 - (GP) - A white-haired 'l-i-year-old western senator today urged the Upper Chamber to back the idea of a single, unified government of all freedom-loving countries as a means to obtain 100 years of peace.

Senator T. A. Crerar (L - Man- itoba) said if civilization is to be saved. then the world had to act quickly for the "sands are running out" and I third world war soon may come.

STELLARTON, N.S., May 17- (CP) - A 23-year-old coal miner was praised today for a "parti- cularly flne case of mine bravery" when an explosion and fire rip- ped through the Allan Shaft here two weeks ago. '

Alex Sample. resident superinten- dent of Acadia Coal Company, said Leonard Morrison, a native of Providence, R.l., remained beside his engine after the explosion.

"This young man might easily have given his life for his fel- iowmen." Mr. Sammie said. "For- tunately he was able to get out after going far beyond his call of duty."

By operating the engine. Morri- son gct 45 men to the surface by sending them 2,400 feet on a rid- ing rake - a string of coal cars. Otherwise, they would have had to walk, as Morrison himself had to do.

”once the word of trouble reaches a man below." Mr. Sam- pie said. "he is on his own. the same as the rest. So he didn't have lo stay but he did."

Seven miners were trapped by the blast but all escaped, some. of them badly injured.

PAMELA by Upton

ANO'rl-flit Sinclair: Macmiiiaifs ; 03.76. -

some decades ago one of the enjoyable books one heard dis- cussed in open debate was Rich- ardson's Pamela. It both delight- ed and shocked the good folk of England more than a century ago. Pamela or that day was a persistent letter writer, and there was the villian who pursued her. pro- vlde a modern Pamela, and has made a considerable stab at it but I feel that the majority of readers will say they prefer Rich- ardson's presentation. The mod- ern miss is a strict seventh Day Adventist who finds her way from a sordid farm into a home of wealth. She is pretty, of course. but no relation to Lanny Budd, the lad who could do no wrong.

Some might think a maid would- have small opportunity to be out- standing in a family story, but Pamela makes her chances. She has her religious upbringing to maintain her when the devil tempts, and her cheerful good nature and apparent simplicity make her popular with all her household. She is the vehicle for

add pages;

Sinclair's mild satire, tolerant with her fellows, and admires those who pose as her bettera.

she is presented as the type who believe ill of none and see good where others would peer in vain. Her remarkable resistance to all temptation is sometmes rather incredible.

The author makes it apparent that he has no love for those who possess wealth, no matter their intentions. To serve his purpose he distorts their thinking and is not kind in his treatment. The book is entertaining for those who appreciate Sinclair's irony and gentle fun. The author's claim is that he was careful to let Pam- ela be her real self in her letters: he had no part in their constric- tion, confi in: himself to a few corrections in spelling. If you liked'the original Pamela it is probable that you will enjoy this one.
