Leaders

LONDON, June 3 -(CP) -- A group of trainmen on Britain's

’ nationalized railway tonight defied

both the Government and their union leaders and struck to plans for another 24-hour strike "Sun- day.

Their only condition to the Government: rearrange all sched- ules no no tralnman has to spend a night a/way from home.

Tralnmen, engineers and fire- men of lines in the east and northeast of England and Scot- land are involved. They have al- ready conducted tmo "Sunday only“ strikes, protesting long-dis- tance, week-end runs inaugurat- ed May 23 to improve service. Next Sunday, however, marks the start otf the two-day Whitsuntide holiday, when thousands trad!- tlonally go visiting and flock (o resort areas. Railway union chiefs vainly appealed to the group in York today to cancel their strike plans.

The railway executive, which operates the railroads for the Government, had planned to run at least l,000 extra trains on the, holiday.

It issued a. statement saying that to bow to the tramp-fan's de- mands would "mean the with- drawal of the improved express service introduced for the stum- mer."

Labor Minister George Isaacs warned trade unionists they could destroy the Labor Government if they created difficulties for it.

Secret Session 0n Berlin I Question

PARIS. June 3 -- (AP) — The four- power Foreign Minister: Council matched plans today in secret session on the Berlin ques- tion. The only indication of pro- gress was that they will meet again tomorrow under the same secrecy.

Sensational Gold Strilie In South Af_rica

JOHANNISBURG, June 8- (CP) -— A gold strike described as the richest and most sensa- tional in South Africa's hist- ory was announced today by the Free State Gold Areas Lim- ited.

The discovery was made on Farm Erfdeel, 12 miles south- east of Odendaalsrust in the Orange Free State. A borehole was reports! to have produced an assay exceeding 400 ounces of gold to a ton.

This is more than double the value of the big strike on Farm Geduld in 194d, which sent gold stocks soaring.

Speculators said the strike might start another gold boom in the Orange Free State.

Gold experts in Johannesburg said that if today's strike ls of- ficially confirmed, the Free Slate will undoubtedly be the

richest gold area in the world.

ATLANIFIC CITY. NJ . June 3 —(AP)--A New York doctor claim- ed today that many dsieases whose causes are considered obscure can be cured or prevented by removal of infections from veins.

Among the diseases he listed npoplexy, arthritis, sinusitis, rheu- matism. glaucoma (hardening of the eyeball), phlebitis in t-ha leg and thromboses (diseases caused by blood 010i; getting into vital om- gans).

This report was made by Dr. Otto Meyer. vein specialist, who said he finds the principal infect- ions in juglar veins.

1n n paper prepared for delivery at. the sixth annual meeting of the American Geriatrics society, Meyer likened infection of the jugular veins to "rusting of pipe lines."

The mated veins slow down the blood flow, thereby cutting the sup- PLY to various parts of the body. Meyer slid.

"The most effective and satis- factory treatment of cortcsalod jugular phlebltls (infection of the jugular veins) is the pplicatlon of leeches. becauu it cures the phlebltis and is not dangerous," Meyer laid.

The present conception that the typical brain hemorrhage is caused by rupture of brain arteries has been disproved recently by posh mortem examinations, Meyer said.

He sold the best treatment for hifeotioai of the deep veins of the leg is walking, with pressure band- aging. The bandsging tightens up the veins and prevents detach- ment of blood clots. The clots are malted in the tlllihned vola by the

Small Fool-Prints Spur Search For Missing _B_tiy

EASTMAN, Que.. June 3 — (CP) — One promising clue in t e search for six-year-old Michel ontaine faded tonight and directors of the wide-spread hunt prepared for n gigantic. all-out effort during the weekend.

‘More than 2,000 men will make one concerted drive after another in the swampy. dense woods on the QOO-acre farm of Charles Fon- talne.

The youngster disappeared Mon- day evening. He was with two old- er brothers. out after the crows. and was fold by them he had bet- ter return to the farmhouse.

Small foot-prints. evidently that of the boy's and belheved no more than two days old, were found to- day, but renewed efforts of the searchers brought no results. The tracks were about a mile and a half from the Fontaine home, a busy headquarters for 800 or more men engaged in the search.

In hops the youngster possibly is still alive, an oxygen tank was brought to the farm today. It is attended by RSM. George Mal- colm from an army artillery unit at nearby Magog.

From the unit also, the 13rd Field Battery, came more than 200 men under Major John S. Gilchrist to take part in the never-ending search.

Throughout the clay tired men came out of the bush, their clothes torn by thick undergrowth. and rested. Fresh forces replaced them.

From a loudspeaker-equipped truck went regular announcements directing the men and giving any necessary information. Annnuncc- ments are made in both French and English.

Concern"

One CouFntry Gives Direct Aid. Others ltdrect

By CAMERON JAMES GUELPH, Ont., June 3 — (C?)

Government subsldlzation of margarine in several countries is causing “grave concern" to farm- ers. A. Hogsbro I-Iolm of Denmark. today told a sub-committee of tho International Federation of Agri- cultural Producers.

Denmark was the only country directly subsidizing margarine, hc said. But governments which allow free entry of vegetable oils pru- duced by cheap labor in other countries were indirectly subsid- izing it.

The sub-committee endorsed a recommendation that the Federa- tion and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization study the matter and present findings to the International Dairy Federa- tiotn meeting in Sweden next Aug- us .

At another sub-committee meet- ing the Nntlonal Farmers’ Union delegation from the United States proposed a new plan for stabilizing prices and disposing of food sur- pluses.

The plan would make use of recommendations included in US. and Canadian plans submitted Thursday. A special committee was set up to consider this and pro- posals by other countries.

I-logsbro l-Iolm said Danish dairy farmers were worried by their government's attitude toward mar- gnrlne subsidies.

In Denmark, one of Europe's greatest producers — butter was rationed at eight ounces a month a person. But". there was no ration- ing of margarine which sold for about 35 tents in comparison to 80 cents a pound for butter.

As buffer production increases the farmers will be interested in increasing their output of butter
