CHICAGO. July 21 -(CP)- Governor Adlai stevcnson of Ill- inois stood out tonight as the pos- sible answer to the Democratic search for a presidential candidate.

-Appearing in his official capacity as a greeter to the delegates. al-

, ternates and visitors to the party's

31st. national convention. Steven- son received an ovation that had to be stopped by chairman Frank Mc- M-inney after it lastecl,six minutes.

It was a solid storm of applause from great sections of the seated delegates and from the galleries.

But Governor Stevenson failed to break away from his prepared text to give any sign of yielding his position that he is a candidate this year for nothing higher than re-election as his ststels chief ex- ecutive officer.

But the feeling grew stronger tonight that Stevenson would ans- wer a clear call to accept the can- didacy and that he would be nom- inated Wednesday and accept the nomination

Quiet Convention

Meanwhile the convention. one of the quietest in memory of most observers here. got down to busi- ness in the air-cooled stockyards amphitheatre and there were signs that it might end Thursday or Psi- day noon at the latest.

The fight over seating of con- tested delegates from Texas and Mississippi seemed possible of set- tlement outside the convention hall by the credentials committee.

This might eliminate the pos- sibility of acrimonious argument on the floor- over states rights- the issue which split the party at Philadelphia in 1943 and the most important line of difference within the party.

This involves the desire of nor- thern dclagates and of the present (Continued on page If col. 3)

TORONTO. July 21 -(OP)- Oi- ficials of the International Red Cross conference, opening here Wednesday, were apprehensive to- day as they awaited the arrival of the North Korean and other Com- munist delegations.

Moet said they felt it is almost certain the North Korean Com- munist Government delegation will use the conference to air charges of germ warfare by the United Nations in Korea. Any such charg- es would probably be backed by the strong. 19-member chinue Ctxrimunist delegation. The dele- gations from Russia, Poland, Ro- mania. Hungary. nyel-Russia. Uk- raine, Csecholslvakis and East Germany are also expected to back North Korea if the question comes

up.

Mr. Hubert Rogers, well known Canadian arl.ist., is becoming a. familiar figure throughout this Province these days as he drives about in his jeep making sketches and taking notes to be used in paintings of the Island.

Already nationally known as a portrait painter, and the only Canadian artist to paint a port- rail. of Lord Alexander, Mr. Rog- ers has now turned his talents to the field of landscapes.

With his wife and two children he has taken a cottage near Al- berton until, as he puts it, the cold drives him out. and is mak- ing preliminary sketches from his jeep of many of this Provlnceis beautiful scenic attractions.

Before making the trip from his home in Vermont Mr. Rogers was commissioned by the National Galleries at Ottawa and the Can- adian Club of New York City, to make for them paintings of typi- cal Island scenes. The one for the Canadian Club will hang in one of the two floors of the tower of the Waldorf Astoria which are occupied by this organization.

Place Canada's Population At 14,430,000

OTTAWA, July 21 - (CP)-Cian- acla's population increased an est- imated 421.000 in the year ended' June 1, bringing the total to 14.- 430,000.

If the rate of increase could be maintained-indications are that it won't be - Canada's population would hit the 15,000,000-mark by late 1953.

The estimate of the increase in population was made today by the Bureau of Statistics. It took the population total of 14,009,426 re- corded June 1, 1951. in the decen- nial census. It added births and immigration and subtracted deaths and an estimate of emigration.

The increase of 421.000 compar- ed with a gain of 291,000 in the previous 12 months, of 265,000 be- tween June 1, 1949, and June 1, 1950, and of 279,000 between June 1, 1948 and 1949. The 1949 figure did not include the 345,000 popula- tion galned by Newfoundlands entry into confederation.

The Bureau said that the in- crease this year was due to a high level of births and to the arrival of 216,000 immigrants between June 1, 1951, and the corresponding date this year.

All Provinces Shared

All provinces shared in the pop- ulation increase. Largest increase was 168,000 for Ontario followed by 118,000 for Quebec, 33,000 for Brit- ish Columbiii. 31,000 for Alberta, 22,000 for Manitoba, 13,000 for Newfoundland and 111 for Sask- atchewan. '

Nova. Scotia and New Brunswick each gained 10.000 and Prince Ed- ward Island 5.000.

A decrease in the number of im- migrants this year is expected to slow the rate of increase.

Population estimates for the provinces, with 1951 figures in brackets:

Newfoundland 374,000 (361,000); Prince Edward Island 103,000 (88,- 000): Nova Scotio. 653,000 (643.- 000): New Brunswick 526,000 (516,- 000); Qllebec 4,174,000 (4,058,000); Ontario 4,766,000 (4,593,000); Man- itoba 798,000 (776,000): Saskatch- ewan 843,000 (832,000): Alberta 970,000 (939,000): British Columbia 1,100,000 (1,165,000).

COBALT, Ont,, July 2l-(CP)- It was hot in the empty bus so Irvine smith, 2'1-year-old miner, decided to turn on the electric fan while he waited for the driver to reappear.

The fan started but so did the motor and the bus went oareening down is hill. Smith was thrown from the driver's seat but was able to keep his grasp on the steering wheel.

The vehicle swerved through crowded streets. rammed a parked auto, sideswiped a potato chip wagon, forced another car into the ditch and finally smashed to a halt on a mining company's six- inch air line.

Inn 3. mounting toll of damage over

By Bill Becker and Dick Bieaer

TEHACI-IAPI, Cailf., July 21- (AP)-An earthquake of shatter- ing force, hitting this little moun- tain town with its greatest fury, killed 11 persons today and piled

a wide section of California.

Nine of the 11 victims were children. They cited in the pre- dawn darkness as the quake sent walls of every major building in this town of 3,000 tumbling. In- mates of the big Tenachapi State Prison for Women escaped injury but buildings were damaged con- siderably.

The list of injured climbed. steadily, from points within a' radius of 40 miles of the quake's centre. It was "California's most severe-but not most disastrous-

quakc since the San Francisco shock of 1906. Only the fact that it hit in this sparsely-settled

mountain c o u n tr y, seismologists agreed, kept the death and dam- age toll fi'oin being much worse. Millions of Californians, from San Francisco to the Mexican bor- der were awakened as the first shock hit at 4:52 am. PDT (7:52 am. EDT). It was a rolling nio- tlon but strong enough to break windows and water mains, throw water circuim out of order and swamp police and newspaper switchboards with calls from frightened, sleepy residents.

Damage In Los Angeies

San Francisco escaped damage bus. damage in Los Angeles was extensive although minor in not- ure.

It was more than an hour later before the first word of the dam- age fllterecl out from Tehachapi. Communications were knocked out but uninjured residents managed to reach telephones miles away to send out calls for doctors and nurses.

They were flown in when ambu- lances found roads blocked be- tween hcre and Bakersfield by landslides which also temporarily knocked out service on the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Railroads

By NATE POLOWETZKY

TEHRAN, July 21-(AP)-Two days of bloody pitched battles be- tween Government troops and .Nationalistl mobs, supported by Communists, ended in the resigna- tion tonight cf Iran's new premier. Ahmed Qavam.

Qavamls pledge to seek a,eettle- merit of the Iranian quarrel with Britain over oil touched off the mobs' fury. Wild disorder erupted throughout the capital and in oth- er parts of the country.
