WASHINGTON. Nov. 19 - (AP) .. Communist China's intervention in the Korean war raises the most grltiral strategic questions with which the United States has been mnlrcnled since the end of the Second World war.

Premier leaves On Suppori Mission

Premier J. Walter Jones, and Messrs. E. D.' Reid. manager of the Provincial Potato Marketing Board and D. A. MacDonald, Glenfinnari. chairman of the same board left by plane yesterday for Ottawa where they will seek support for this year's potato crop.

They ucre slated to meet Pre- mlcr J. B. MacNalr of New Bruns- wick and his advisers at Moncton. The two-province delegation will meet the Federal authorities to- day.

The island delegation took off from the local alnport at 12:30 in snowy weather. The flight was scheduled to leave at 11:30 but eight inches of s owfall on the Moncton runways made landing conditions impossible.

Pre-flight plans called for the delegation to transfer to train at Moncton but M.C.A. officials here doubted if they caught the Ocean Limited which left Moncton for Montreal at 1:30.

C. N. R. officials offered to hold the train a few minutes it was re- ported. but the M. C. A. plane did not. reach Moncton until 1:30. it was doubted that the men had time to travel from the airport to the train.

it is believed the delegation will press for asu-pport prices program along the lines of the aid granted for the 1948-49 potato crop. That year the Dominion Government paid 69 cents per

bushel for Canada Number 1-tablew

stock in the farmers bin.

In 1949 3540.000 was paid to is- land farmers under the terms of the Agricultural Prices Support Act which was drawn up in 1944. This act set aside two hundred million dollars for the use of farm- crs suffering from poor marketing conditions.

A few weeks ago the Dominion Government forwarded a dollar for dollar scheme to the Provin- cial Government. by which the sup- port price expenditures would be equally shared by both Govern- ments.

The proposal was given a dim view here with Provincial Gov- ernment men and potato officials claimin-g that the support should be forwarded from the two hun- drcd million dollars provided by the Agricultural Prices Support Act.

Kingls Physician Backs Boycott Threat In U.K.

LONDON. Nov. 19 - (Reuters) .- A group of influential doctors. headed by Lord Horder. the King's physician. Saturday pledged full 5 t to, thousands of general practitioners In a plan to boycott the state-run medical service.

Threats of general withdrawal from the Health service have come from the British Medical Guild. which is polling all general practitioners asking them to quit if they do not get a pay rise by next March.

Lord Horder'a Fellowship for Freedom in Medicine, which he founded to resist any form of state monopoly in medicine, said Satur- day it will back this move to the hilt.

Doctors in three big cities have already approved the Medical (3ulld'a plans. They include 32 of the as doctors in Blackpool. 700 in Manchester and many in beads.

The British Medical Association said. "We are not holding a pistol at the head of the Ministry; but we are loading the pistcl."

Physicians in the health scheme on paid so much for sum mister-

ed patient. The basic rate is equiv- alent to 19.50 a year. increased by allowances.

Aneurin Bevan. fiery Health Min- lstsr. now is surveying the whole field of payments. He is expected to announce his decisions at the end of the year. .

Meantime. a few cases of outright opposition to Health Service decis- ions have been reported lately.

An area hospital board near Lon- don trlad this month to close its general hospital service and do spe- cialist work only. Medical staff re- fused to recognize the decision and continued accepting new patients. Negotiations to solve the dispute are going on.

About no doctors in Durham County are defying the socialist- dominaiad council's ruling that all its employees - and that includes doctors - should be members of trade unions.

The 50-year-old, wife of the

red-haired Ontario Government solicitor. wearing a mink jacket and "well-studded with jewelry." was placed in the county jail for the night. She will be arraigned in court tomorrow but the hear- ing likely will be remanded for a week.

Whatever motive there may have been in the slaying was' not dis- closed. The body was found naked in the suite. located in a compar- atively rcmoize section of the big downtown hotel, about 3 am. EST Saturday.

Police were not called into the case until noon Saturday- a delay of eight hours. Inspec- ior Hobbs said police could not understand reason for the delay and are preparing a re- port for consideration of higher police authorities. Although the slaying was not

made public until late Saturday afternoon. death notices were pub- lished Saturday afternoon in the Toronto Star and the Sault Ste.

Meantime Mrs. Sullivan arranged with an undertaking firm to have her husband's body shipped to To- ronto for burial. She then left by car for Toronto with her son. 21- yc.-ir-old Frank Sullivan, and Mrs. J. J. Hency. a friend of the family.

Ontario Provincial Police stop- ped the car at lnnesvllle. Ont.. and brought Mrs. Sullivan back to Oi- iaiva.

A police search of the hotel room turned up an Wznipiy quart size whisky bottle. and the bro- ken-off neck of another bottle. Blood was spaiiered albout the carpei beside the bed.

Numerous Cuts, Bruises

After seven hours questioning. Mrs. Sullivan gave a signed slate- ment to police. but the contents were not disclosed. in an early verbal account. Mrs. Sullivan said shd awoke some time after mid- night to discover her husband lying on the floor beside the bed.

LOUISIANA. Mo.. Nov. 19 -(AP) - First production of. gasoline from coal "in practical quantities" in the United states was disclosed Satur- day by the Government's Bureau of Mines.

More 'than 125,000 gallons already have been produced here at the Bureau's 325,000,000 "coal-to-oil demonstration plant" on the Miss- issippi River about 100 miles north of St. Louis.

The "proving ground" was estab- llshcd to test the feasibility of es- tabllshlng a synthetic oil industry in the U.S.. operated 'by private industry, to meet the challenge of lessening reserves of natural pet- roleum. Bureau scientists said.

The Bureau says that if that feasibility is established. the Un- fted States could achieve independ- ence of foreign sources of petroleum in the event of war and would be able to meet the country's normal needs for oil for centuries to come.

Production of gasoline in the Government's test plant has been proceeding at rates up to 9.000 Kal- lons a day for the last month since the initial batch was drawn. the Associated Press learned. It is not planned to maintain daily produc- tion, becauso technical and econ- omic appraisal of the process Ls the objective of the tests - not huge production.

While Bureau scientists are con- centrating on gasoline at. present. they say the plant can also pro- duce diesel oil. jet fuel and various other chemicals with applications in such materials as anti-freeze prod- ucts. paint solvents, wood preserva- tlves and even nylon stockings.
