OTTAWA, July 7 --(CP)-- The Evening Citizen said today the Federal Government will notify the Provinces by Oct. 1 that it is re- tiring from the field of controls of domestic rentals April 1, 19-19. There was "no immediate confirm- ation or denial of the story.

The plan would give the Prov- inces six months notice and enable them to decide whether they wish- ed to continue the controls them- selves in some degree.

The newspaper said it is consid- ered unlikely Ottawa will allow any further relaxation of rental ceilings-the major surviving seg- ment of wartime controls-in the nine months before it abandons the field. The last was n 10 per cent increase, if the landlord gave the tenant a two-year lease at the new rate.

Ottawa would step out at tho end of the fiscal ycnr. when the current version of the bill extend- ing controls comcs to an end. the Citizen said.

B! GEORGE BBIA BERLIN.’ July '1 _. (A?) British authorities announced to- night t-hat five Russian Yak fighter planes were sighted ‘Ines- day in the British air corridor

between Berlin and Hamburg.’ British Military Government headquarters said a British Eur-

opean Airways pilot spotted the planes. An announcement said one of

the fighters "peeled off and flew within the comparatively close vicinity of bhc BEA. pilot's air- craft." l

"The Yak pilot did not fly dan- gerously near and in the BEA. 1010i’! own words. ‘I was nc-t in the least worried,’ " the statement added.

It declared “no importance or significance is attached to the re- rlort."

This was the first report of a British or American pilot sight- ing Russian fighters since the air lift to blockaded Berlin got under way. United States Air Force c-f- ficers said American pilots had been given “routine” briefings to Vii-tub for Russian fighters. But none has been reported in the United States corridor.

War In Palestine To Be Resumes! Friday

CAIRO, July '1 -(A.P) —An ab League’ spokesman said tonig t the Palestine war between Jews and Arabs will be resumed Friday.

Israel was reported to have alc- ccpted Count Iiiolke Bernadottas proposal to extend the Palestine truce beyond the Friday deadline. The Arab League spokesman laid. however. there would be no exten- sion of the four-week truce.

Asked if his statement meant that warfare would start again, the Arab replied, “I mean nothing else."

(As the Arab made this state- ment in Cairo, the United Nations Security Council voted 8 to 0 at Lake Success, N. Y.. to appeal to both Arabs and Jews to extend the truce.)

flbrnadotte, the United Nations mediator, has not received an of- ficial reply on the truce extension from either the Jews or Arabs. A well-informed source in Tel Aviv said however, the Isruli Govern- ment is willing to continua the truce during fiu-ther atlothtions.

The Jewish source llid Israel will not deal now with Bernadotws proposals to demilitarila Jerusalem and the Haifa port area. The Arabs already have rejected these proposals. '

Speakers Commend League Movement

In an after dinner speech at Morell last night. Premier J. Wal- ter Jones. speaking before an aud. lence of more than 1Z5 delegates of the P.E.I. Credit Union League and the P.E.I. co-operative Union, said that "this Co-operative has given a new spirit to the whole com- munity”. In describing the tenure of land in the Province as a very important matter. the Premier stated that a recent survey hat. in- dicated that there are 5.000 more men than women in rural distlicts throughout the Province. He jok- ingly suggested that the best way to remedy that situation would be to heavily tax the bachelors. In a serious vein he called for further improvement in farming methods and a greater diversification in crops. He mentioned that because of the new method oi freezing fruit. Island farmers would receive this year the same price for straw- berries as is paid in British Co- lumbia and Ontario. He urged the necessity of increasing the amount of training giv'en in biology, cheni- istry and physics in order to give young farmers a better knowledge of plants and soil conditions.

The Premier concluded his re- marks by stating that "we are on the eve of great things in fisheries" and {nentioned a. new method of catch ng fish which is under de- velopment.

Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan spoke oi’ this "remarkable meeting as one of the most important meetings in the history of the Province." He traced the history of co-operative unions in P. E. I. and made special reference to the development of the library system on the island and its effect on the growth of adiilt education.

Dr. MacMillan paid irioulc to the co-opcratlvcs for bringing to- gether all creeds and groups in a common purpose.

His Excellency Bishop Boyle, ad- dressed the meeting and. durlnl his remarks he suggested that co- operatives are the only way of bringing about a greater degree of social and economic justice. Tho resulting wider distribution of own- ership resists the spread of Com-H rnunlsm. In summarizini "l0 00' operative philosophy.

Reviews Activities Of Cooperative Union

Yesterday afternoon Mr. A-B- MacDonald, general secretary of ihc Co-operatlve Union of Can- ada, highlighted the joint meeting of the P.E.I. Credit Union League and the P.E.I. Co-operative Union with an address on the subject of the Cooperative Movement in Canada. The address was given to a packed audience in the new Community Hall at Morell.

Mr. MacDonald described the organizational set-up of Coopera- tive Unions in Canada on local, provincial and national level! 8N1 he paid tribute to the calibre of curly leadership in the movement during its formative years. Those rncn saw the dangers of section- alism and therefore made sure that the national organization was sot-up so as to tie together in unity all, types of cooperative or- ganization. ‘Ilhe Cooperative Act now exists in the statute books of all the provinces. The second im- portant function of the national organization is to give protection to Cooperatives against the in- creasing resistance on the part of profit businesses.

The speaker also dealt with the intensive efforts of the national body in the field of taxation. Be- ginning in 104.3 strong attempts were made to have the Federal government impose income tax on cooperative businesses. Just re- cently Mr. MacDonald completed negotiations with the government after having presented the Coop- erative case to the Federal Cab- lnet.

A tremendous job still remains to be done in the ficld of public relations and Mr. MacDonald mentioned that as cooperatives continue to expand they rnust en- compass labour unions as well as fishermen and farmers In Canada today they are essentially rural 1n

(By George Kitchen)

OTTAWA, Jilly '7 — (GP) - Chunky, little James Garfield Gar- diner today threw the race for the Liberal leadership wide open with a declaration that he is reaoy to stand as a candidate before the party convention here next month. The 84-year-old Agricultural‘ Minister made his hid for the suc- cession to retiring Prime Minister Mackenzie King in s. ZOO-wold press statement which concluded with these words:

"I think I should now state to the public that I have agreed that those who think I would make a suitable leader for the party might place my name in nomination." He had been approached, he said, by Liberals “from every Prov- ince in Canada" to allow his nan e to go before the convention. which opens in Landsdowne Park here Aug. 5 and concludes Saturday, Aug. ‘l, with balloiing on the lead- ership.

His announcement placed him 1.1 ihc leadership race beside 86-year- old External Affairs Minister B5. Laurent, who announced last Jan- uary that he wo_uid be a candidate if there was no conflict on racial or religious grounds,

But the announcement did more than that. It opened the way for other potential candidates ln the cabinet ranks and in the provincial field to declare their intentions. Some had said they would not op- pose Mr. St. Laurent if thero were no other competitors.

Possible starters include Trans- port Minister Chevrier, Finance Minister Abbott, Health Munster Martin, Trade Minister Howe, Pre- mier Garson of Manitoba and Premier Macdonald of Nova Scotia.

Mr. Gardiner is short in stature but long in political experience. He stands 5 feet 4 1-2 inches and has spent 34 years in the parliamentary arena. He entered the Federal Cab- inet as Agriculture Minister in 1985 after resigning as Premier o! Saskatchewan.

A Westcrner by adoption, he was born in Excter, Ont. He went West at 1'1.

He taught school for a time and then went into politics, winning election to the Saskatchewan Leg- islature in 1914. He spent 21 years in that assembly, servin progres- sively as Minister of ghways, Premier. Provincial Treasurer, Ed- ucation Minisier. wposition lead- er and Premier again.
