Premieris Right To Senate Seat Discussedht Ottawa

OTTAWA, Oct. 29-(Speclal)- speculation on what or who is keeping P. E. I. Premier J. Wal- ter Jones out of an expected Sen- ate seat was one of the many top- in discussed by small groups in the closing hours of this week's meetings of the National Liberal Federation here.

The Premier was one of the very few head-table guests apart from the charmed circle of the Federal Cabinet at the National Liberal Federation dinner last night. He was seated beside Fish- eries Minister "Jimmy" Sinclair, and the two were in animated conversation for nearly an hour.

Not only Prince Edward Island- ers showed surprise that the vet- eran Premier had as yet received no call to the Upper House. And in post-meeting talks a number

from other Maritime Provinces spoke with unusual frankness even for "off-the-record" com- menu.

A prominent Liberal in Parlia- ment said there was no possible reason for delaying Premier Jones' appointment to the Senate if the P. E. I. leader wished to accept a Senate seat. Ho dismiss- ed as "specious and trifling" whispered criticism against the Premiere Liberal record. If Mr. Jones had not been a life-long Lib- eral. so what? he asked. Have people forgotten that Brigadier M. F. Gregg was named Liberal Minister of Fisheries and then Minister of Veterans Affairs and then Labor, despite the fact that he had been named House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms by a Conservative administration some

MONTREAL. Oct. 29-(CP)- Canada and the United States got an official go-ahead today to de- velop 2,200,000 horse-power of needed electric energy in the in- ternational section of the St. Lawrence River.

The project is part and parcel of Canada's proposal to construct the St. Lawrence seaway, which also unoves a step toward fruition with the'power scheme.

The authority came from the International Joint Commission, which announced its approval of a joint Canada-U. S. application for permission for designated agencies to build 5-150,000,000 worth of power installations in the St. Lawrence near Cornwall, Ont.

Fierce Battle Rages For Sniper Ridge

(By Milo Fnrneti)

SEOUL, Oct. 30-(Thursdey)- (AP)--A furious, see-saw battle raged today for control of Sniper Ridge of the Korean central front -with the Chinese reaching the bloody crest through tunnels.

A front-line report at 7:30 am. said Allied troops were holding three-fourths of the pinnacle- Plnpoint Hill.

An estimated 1,000 Reds joined the continuing battle after re- building a tunnel system leading to the hill from the "yoke"-Y- shaped terrain to the north of Sniper Ridge.

Allied forces once had blasted the caves and tunnels ciosed-- during their comparatively brief tenure on the ridge-but were for- ced off before they could com- plete destruction.

Wednesday's fighting raged at hand grenade range. It continued through the night, the wild battle obscured by darkness and smoke. Big guns on both sides poured in thousands of rounds of artillery and mortar fire. It was the 17th day of battle for the strategic ridge.

On nearby Triangle Hill action fell off shortly after midnight when two Chinese companies broke contact. .

The battle for Sniper Ridge was the longest and most furious act- ion since the struggle for Heart- break Ridge on the eastern front last Autumn.

Liberal Women in Convention

OTTAWA, Oct. 29- (CP) -0r- ganlzation problems behind the winning of elections were in the forefront of discussions today at the biennial meeting of the' Na- tional Federation of Liberal Wo- men.

The convention of more than 200 delegates. from every prov- ince. reviewed the party's wins and losses in by-elections of the last year and heard suggestions for tightening the organization for the impending general election.

Meeting "a day after the annual session of the National Liberal Federation's advisory council, the women's group received reports from each province on the pro- gress of political activities.

Mrs. E.J. Mooney of Saint John, N. B., first president of the newly- organized N. B. branch of the Federation, said it is ”vltaily im- portant that we Liberal women be strongiy organind."

From British Columbia, the con- vention received a,.1-eport that the June provincial election in which the social Credit party was voted into power may not have brought out the wishes of the people.

"We feel." said 8. C. president Mrs. G. W. Kissicir. "that the people protested louder than they thought-that many of those reg- istering disapproval were shocked by the accumulated results...we must see that we regain our right- ful place as the true party of the people".

Mar. K. G. Montgomery, presi- dent of the Alberta women's asso- ciation. said it has been noted in that province that women gener- my have been negligent in excr- oieinr the franchise. That was be-

remedied with organisation.

ferring to that Provinces so- cial Crsdlt administration, she said I "myth" had grown up that Al- berta was getting good govern- ment. There were many evidences, she said, that the provincial gov- ernment was taking credit for benefits that actually came from the federal treasury.

The Prince Edward Island presi- dent. ldrs. George S Inmsn of Montague. laid the women of Oanede now "mean business" in politics. They had been iackadais- ical in the past, but from now on they -would be right in there.
