NEW YORK, (AP) -A brisk southeast breeee late Sunday thrust aside a. blanket of smog and amaze which had hung over New York City for live days and replaced it with a curtain of clean, moist fog.

MONTREAL, (CP)- Montreal's tram and bus workers went back to work Sunday, ending a. 24-hour wildcat. strike that tied-up public transportation in the city saturday.

Buses and street-cars began rolling shortly after 3:30 a. m.- regular starting hour for Sunday's reduced services. By noon the Montreal Transportation Commis- sion reported services nearly nor- mal on most routes and said they would be on schedule today.

Montreaiis Wildcat Bus And Tram Strike Settiedw

The break in the work stoppage came suddenly Saturday night at a union meeting at which union chiefs bluntly told workers the strike was illegal. They warned them they would have only them- selves to blame if in flouting the law they undermined the union.

The workers are seeking higher wages and better working condi- tions.

Early speakers at the four-hour meeting were shouted down and it was not until shortly before mid- night that the men agreed to re- tum to work.

n.E'iEsT.3yT& Building Al Maplewood

Early Sunday morning fire tot- ally destroyed a building on the farm of Mr. Matthias Malone of Mapiewood, near Kelly's Cross. The building which was an old dwelling house had been renovat- ed and remodeled to serve as s store-house and contained some- thing liver six hundred bags of seed potatoes, a large quantity of turnip.-; and about it hundred and fifty bushels of wheat. A valuable act of carpenter tools was also destroyed.

The fire was thought to have started from a boiler used to boil pig food although this was being used early in the afternoon and everything seemed to be in order when Mr. Mnlorle was last in the

building about seven-thirty on Saturday evening. The fire was ciisrovr-red about

4.30 Sunday morning and as the building was all ablaze nothing could be done to save either it. or its contents. However, the neigh- bours were aroused and quickly gathered. Through their efforts the main barns on the premises were saved although a straw stack near the large barn was ignlghted by the flying embers.

The owner estimated the con- tents of the building at about one thousand dollars. He added

that the small amount of insur-

Claims Air Speed Mark Of 1,327 Miles An Hour

LOS ANGELES, (CF) - A sell- satlonal air speed record of 1,327 miles an hour was announced Sat-

.urda y. '

Test pilot Scott Crossfield said he flew the Douglas Skyrocket re- search plane at twice the speed of sound Friday in a,flight in which he corkscrewed the craft at top speed to test her strength and power to manoeuvre.

"I rolled her around 300 degrees twice-and that was about all the manoeuvres we had time for," he told newspapermen.

The flight, high above the southern California desert, lasted 11 minutes from the time the tiny Skyrocket dropped from a B-29 mother plane, until it glided down onto the dry lake that is Edwards Air Force Base.

The swept - wing needle - nosed plane was launched at about 32,000 feet, and climbed to an altitude "in excess of 60,000."

Gilded Back

Crossfield said it burned up its three tons of fuel-liquid oxygen and aicoholAin three minutes, at tho rate of about 200 gallons a minute.

The remainder of the flight, back to Edwards, was an eight- mtiiute glide.

The National Advisory Commit- tee for Aeronautics, which is using the plane for high-altitude. high-, speed research, said the top speed was mach 2.01, 01' slightly more than twice the speed of sound.

Crossfielrl said Friday's mark was achieved in almost level flight.

Sir Andrew said closing of the British Food Mission is the result of the gradual process of turning from bulk buying to private trad- ing which has been taking place over the last two years.

The change, he says, is one of method, not necessarily of quantity of purchase.

Has Shelled Plans For Big Four Meeting

chill, in an effort to salvage a piece of his plan, will seek the ap- proval of President Eisenhower and French Premier Joseph Laniel to' "go it alone" to Moscow. This tie-Q velopment is bound to color all the Bermuda discussions on the West's relations with the Communist world.

Has Peace Hopes

Churchill, a staunch defender of Anglo-American unity, would never make any move which he thought might jeopardize relations between the two English-speaking nations.

But the Prime Minister, who will be 70 next week, has long hoped that before his political

career ends he can lead his lia- tion to permanent peace as he led it in war. He feels informal talks at the top level can do no damage and might help to chip the ice from East-West relations.

Preliminary exchanges between London, Paris and Washington last week show that relations with the Communists in the Far East will be a key subject at the Bermuda talks Deena-B. Churchill believes, according to diplomatic quarters, that there is still room for diplo- matic manoeuvring with the Com- muniats in the East as opposed to the rigid East-West deadlock in Europe.
