PIUMU. N.S., -(Specia1)-- To aid the flailing industry, the Dom- inion Fisheries Department has this year trebled its allocation for publicizing the nutritive and health-giving value of fish as a.

food, J. Watson MacNaught. Lib-'

eral member for Prince and par- liamentary assistant to Fisheries Minister R. W. Moyhcw told a gathering of 5.000 persons at the Piotou Lobster Carnival here to- clay.

Speaking on behalf of the Min- ister, Mr. MacNaught congratu- lated the organizers of the Carniv- fllelnd predicted an expansion of the industry in the years to come.

“In myopinion," he sold, "one of the best ways in which the De- partment can aid the industry is to give wider publicity to fish as an essentiai element in the diet of the average Canadian family. We are not eating nearly as much flab as men and women of other countries bordering on the seas. A very little additional per capita consumption of fish would make for a. greatly increased demand for th products of our Atlantic fish- er es.

"For our part. we are trying to

increase the per capita. consump- tion of fish and fish products by extending our publicity as to their nutritive value. We have trebled our estimates this year in this re- spect and propose to continue our active ublicity campaigns." Mr. . acNaught said that HR. Liberal MP. for Pic- tou of the best advertisers of the Nova Scotio lobster in- dustry. Mr. McCulloch's famous lobster dinners given annually to Liberal members in the House of Commons restaurant. at Ottawa had done a great deal to stimulate interest in Maritime lobster as a delicacy, he said.

“You in Pictcu", Mr. Mac- Naught‘ added, "have one of the largest and finest lobster indust- ries in the world. We in Prince Ikiiward Island also have a rob; stei- industry of which we are rproud.

April Rail Revenues Reach New Peak

OTTAWA. July 14 -—(CP) — Canadian railways in April drew tho largest operating revenues for any April in their history and near- ly as much as in the all-time peak month of July, 1945.

Reach Goose Bay From Greenland

HALIFAX, July 14 —(CP)—Six RAF. Vampires landed at Goose Bay, Labrador. tonight to ccmpete the first Atlantic crossing by jet- propelled aircraft. Signal saying the jets were down safely was re- ceived by the R.C.A.F. here.

Waiting at Goose to take off on the first west-cast ocean crossing were 14 United States Jet planes.

The British jets made the ills- toric crossing in three jumps- Scotland to Iceland to Greenland to Goose. They will continue on to Montreal and New York. where they will take part in an air ex- position. .

Three Mosquito aircraft acted as reconnaissance planes for the Vampires. They -were used prim- arily as weather checks and one of them made contact with Canada's weather ship St. Stephen, station-

d-or.

Radar eyes of the St. Stephen, on post during the last two weeks cs- pccially for the jet crossing. watch- ed the flight across the 800 miles of sea betwen Bluie West One airdrome in Southern Greenland and Labrador.

One of the Vampires. it was learned. had blown a. tire on landing in Greenland and it was thought for a time that this would delay departure for Goose until tomorrow. Apparently the tire had been replaced in double quick time.

The jets screamed in over the Central Labrador base about 9 p. m., A.D.T. and were all down about 15 minutes la-ter.

Exact time of the crossing from Greenland was not immediately known.

Claims New Freight Rates Boost Needed

OTTAWA, July 14—(Cl’)--N. R. Crump, vice-president of Canadian Pacific Railway. said tonight the (LEE. should get a stopgup freight-rate increase in view of today's l7-cenia-an- hour wage award to its em- ployees.

“It is estimated that an in- terim freight-rate increase of about 15 per cent would be re- quired to provide the annual sum of $27,200,000 by which the cost of railway operations of the Canadian Pacific has been increased." he said in a. state- ment.

The C. PJR. had ‘no alter- native" but to accept the l7- oent settlement.

The increase, which will go to 110.000 railway workers will have such an impact on the national economy that prices will be pushed to "still higher levell," he said. .

"l believe that the Canadian Pacific, having unarmed the responsibility of taking the only course that could avoid a gen- eral railway strike, should re- ~ ceive an interim "iiioreile" in freight rates pending a final determination of the merits of thc- case by the Board of Trans-

port Commissioners."

IONDON, July i5 — (Thurs- day) —- (OP) — The Allied land- ing in Southern Franco in i944 prevented execution of u |pian by Viscount Alexander for invasion of Southeast. Europe, s military dis- patch discloses today. '

The dispatch is written by Field Marshal Sir Henry Maitland Wil- son, foimer supreme Allied com- mander, Mediterranean. He sup- ported the Alexander plan and suggested it might have caused a German defeat in 1944.

He was overruled by the Allied chiefs of staff, who decided the defeat of Germany could be brought about more swiftly by capturing Marseille and obtaining port facil- ities that would prvide a new in- lei for United States troops.

Viscount Alexander (then Sir Harold), Commander - in - Chief, Allied annies in Italy, was left to (Ia-fry on a war of attrition agilinSt stubborn German forces, often handicapped by lack of reinforce- ments and even ammunition.

'I'lie dispatch covers the period May IO-DEO. 12. i944, when Wilson handed over his Mediterranean ccmmend to Alexander. It begins with the strikingly successful of- fensive that freed the Anzio beachheod and led to the capture of Rome and Florence, and endsl with the weakened Fifth and‘ Eighth armies closing On Bologna.

Canadians Engaged

With brief intervals m rest, Canadians were in the fight all the way. Wilson describes their flfleratlcns on the Adriatic sector in September 1044, as "some o; the hardest fighting of the entire Italian campaign."

After the May offensive, Wilson said, Alexander was optimistic the impetus of the Allied drive could Ibo maintained. He outlined a plan for advancing through Newman. Italy to the Ljubljana gap leading
