rlmrnrs av PROVINCES UNDER FiSHERMEN'S INDEMNITY runs

OTTAWA (SPECIAL) - Either

Prince Edward Island fishermen re more highly skilled naviga- ors than those oi other provinces or they are more honest.

This deduction arises from sta- tistics oi the Fisherman's Indemn- ity Fund in which six provinces participate. While claims for in- demnity under this fund have been accepted and paid in New- foundland. Nova Scotia. New Bruns- wick. Quebec and British Colum- bit. not a single claim for total loss or damage of a fishing vessel has been paid to any Prince Ed- ward Island fisherman from July 1958 to July 1954.

Largest insurance payments were made in that period to fishermen oi British Columbia whose 10 claims were compensated by 322.413. Newfoundland came in second place with seven claims totalling 310,845.

U. S. Ready To Restore German Sovereignty

By IAN FRASER.

P-ONN. Germany (Reuters)-w State Secretary Dulles discussed West German rearmament plans Thursday night with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer amid mounting indications the United States plans an early and unilateral restoration of sovereignty to the West German Republic.

Dulles. anxious to get a re- armed West Germany into the Western defence system, arrived here from Washington Thursday afternoon and plunged almost im- mediaicly into talks with the Ger- man leader. In a brief airport statement he asserted that his sud- dsn visit here is aimed at "bring- ing German as an equal partner into the loo ety of the free.”

Observers here saw Dulles' trip as an indication the United States is speeding up its program for making West Germany master oi its own house.

PREPARED ACT ALONE

There are many signs the sec- retary of state intends to notify Britain when he flies to London to- day that the United States is ready to declare West Germany a sover- eign state. Prime Minister Church- ill's government would be invited to take the same action. but the United States apparently is pre- pared to act alone.

The bitter dispute over compul- sory marketing of potatoes' over- flowed yesterday into the Legisla- tive Chamber with the Provincial Cabinet busy from early morning until long past the supper hour with groups of all sides stating their cases.

In the morning a large delega- tion of producers from Easternl. Kings attended maintaining they wanted a. continuance of the Pats- to Marketing Board. They were heard until the noon recess.

Early in the afternoon a large representntion from the Potato Dealers Association from all sec- tions of the Province waited on the Government to discuss the proposed compulsoiw marketing pool for potatoes. They reviewed the situation from their point of view and one dealer pointed out that compulsion was not freedom of action but that his organization agreed that a voluntary pool for those who wanted it was perfectly satisfactory to everyone. He men- tioned the analogy to Europe where the people in losing their freedom in small things eventually lost it in big ones.

Among the dealers present were Col. 0. E. Full. E. D. Reid, George Brookins. H. Willis, L. H. Poole. Lorne MacF'arlane, R. L. Burge. R. C. Macliean, W. N. Wilson. Fred Bingham. Claude Delaney. Preston Kennedy, Claude Mac- Neill. Arthur MacKa.V. James Mac- Neill and James MncDougall.

Lifer Surrenciers

FORT WORTH, TeX.. (AP) - Donald Bouchillcn walked quietly into the county jail Thursday morning and gave himself up.

Sentenced to serve the rest of his life in the Texas penitentiary. he was freed from prison 12 days ago by a mlxup in records there.

Police throughout the country had been asked to watch for the 28-year-old Fort Wort man, con- victed hece last year as a habitual criminal.

He was described as dangerous and was said to have revenge on a deputy sheriff and an assistant district attorney here who helped send him to prison.

But his whole manner upon sur- rendering was friendly and he ra- peatediy denied making any threats.

Last night when interviewed on the subject Col. Full stated the'. dealers feel the necessity for aj central organisation which will give leadership to promotion of the industry, the distribution of correct information and protection of the industry from disease and would be happy to financially sup- port such an institution, gowevern he said they are not pro ared to. accept the principle that the Prince Edward Island potato grower is in- capable of making up his mind as- to how and when to market his! products. He said the dealers feel the growers do not want a dictstori to do the job for them.

The final delegation to meet with the Government on the mat- ter were the producer membersi of the Potato Marketing Board. It was their feeling as producers thatl the dealers had had control oi the situation for the past 40 years and now they wished to control it
