OTTAWA. (OP)-The Board of Transport Commlssionvers has not yet made up its mind on the ques- tion of a new system of freight rates for Canada involving higher tolls, beard chief J. D. Kearney said Monday.

Mr. Justice Kearney gave this assurance to counsel for railways and a group of provinces as the board reopened hearings on s. Canadian Pacific Railway applica- tion for a big change in rate- making procedure.

"The board has no predeter- mined ideas abut this matter," he said. "We are Just looking for more information."

The chief oommissi made the statement after spokesmen for eight provinoisl governments-al-1 except Ontario and Quebec - had renewed opposition to the CPR proposal. The CPR asks that it be allowed to set freight charges so as to receive a. specified annual return on its net lnvestmen-t'in rail- way property.

For the present, this would in- volve s. general increase of nine per cent in tolls. The company application also would involve per-

PANMUNJOM. (AP) - Angry Czech and Polish memb shwalked ,out of the Neutral Nations Repet- riation Commission Monday - a break that may portend collapse of Communist attempts to per- lsuade 22,400 anti-Red prisoners to return home.

I Reliable sources said the two Communist members stalked out when Swiss and Swedish membeis and the Indian chairman refused

f lto force North Korean prisoners

J The Swiss government backed up its delegate, announcing in Berne lit had given him "categorical in- struotions that Switzerland seeks to avoid the use 0 force under all circumstances." It said use of force Convention.

stalling Excuse

I The depth of the break may be determined today. The commission has scheduled another meeting for 10 a.m. It remained to be seen whether the Czech and Polish members would attend.

All Red explanation sessions were cancelled today, as they were Mon- day. The Communists had intend- ed talking to 1,000 North Korean prisoners. India said the prisoners could not be persuaded to attend.

some Allied quarters said the Reds might be using the dispute over North Korean prisoners as an excuse to stall off for the time being and perhaps ultimately ab- andon their cxplan tlons.

These sources pointed out the Reds had been taking a propa- ganda beating so far. They have

expected a much higher percent- age. '

The Communists always have shown more interest in the balking 14.600 Ohinsse than in the 7,800 North Koreans. ,

mission for further boosts later.

The present system of setting freight rates is that the transport board uses the CPR as the "yard- stick" llne and bases tolls on the oompsnyis current fixuncial re- quirements. ,

Hearings on the application were declared concluded early this year, but the board called new sessions to get information on the question of whether or not a CPR invest- ment flgure should include the value of grants received from gov- ernments in the company's early construction days.

TORONTO, brook, owner of e. group of British newspapers, said Monday the United-Nations should be aban- dnned.

The Canadian-born member of Prime Minister Churchill's war- time government said in an inter- view that the foreign ministers of Britain. France and the United States should be kept at home and that "meddling" in the domestic affairs of foreigners should be slapped.

He said Italy was armed by the United States and Yugoslavia by Britain and added:

"Now they are ready and they may embroil all of us. Next the United States and Great Britain will Join together to arm the Ger- mans. When that operation is over. we will have something to take our minds off the antiquated seaport

of Trieste."

The trouble is attributable, he said. to foreign secretaries.

"The foreign secretaries or the great nations cannot keep alllz. They travel. The moral is. keep them at home and send out trade ministers abroad. Evacuate the United Nations and don't n1Fddh' any more in the domestic affairs of fnreigners.”
