lke Challenges Democrats
To Aid In Peace Efforts
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi- fent Eisenhower challenged an 6pposition Democratic Congress Friday to join him in quest of military and economic. strength for the United States and a just peace for a fearful world.
These were the great goals set forth for the year ahead in the presidential State of The Union to In general terms. Eis- enhower outlined a. formidable but. “sensible Busture “of ' de- fence” along with a balanced budget and war against inflation.
In these days when the latest ‘bombers “‘cost their weight in} gold,” Eisenhower said, “‘we can afford everything we clearly need, but we cannot afford one cent of waste.-’
ASKS CO-OPERATION
The president appealed to the legislators to work with him to keep in balance the $77,000,000,- 000 budget: he is sending tq them Jan. 19. If this is done, he said, there is hope*for fax reforms “‘in
the foreseeable future.”
reted this to mean tax cuts, but not before the, 1961 fiscal year, ‘beginning July” 1, 1960—a period | that spans the next presidential election campaign.
To Senate and House of Rep- resentatives members assembled | in the house chamber, and to mil- | lions who heard him by radio and television, Eisenhower said:
“One basic purpose Unites. us:
To ‘promote - “and se. curity, side by side with Ter and opportunity.” Ee
HEAVIEST APPLAUSE
The’ president drew his heavi- | est applause for jabs at inflation and a pledge to defend the people of Berlin “‘against any efort to destroy their freedom.” | Comments after he finished his 5,000-word, 42-minute speech fit into a familiar format, Republi- cans offered generous praise. Many Democrats found no rea- son to quarrel with the broad ob- jectives. Some said the speech
N:S. Tuna-Fishing Contest Is Cancelled For This: Year
By ED SMITH Canadian Press Staff Writer “WEDGEPORT, -NS. (‘CP)—
Hardy South Shore fishermen . battling one of the toughest win- ters in the history of lobster: fish- ing here absorbed another blow Friday with philosophical Aca- didn calm
The announcement that the In- ternational Tuna Cup match, held here annually was to be sus- pended for 1959. generally brought a ‘‘we knew it was to be so” rea¢tion. Complacency how- -ever, Was tempered with the unanimous belief that the suspen- sion was temporary: that mysterious tuna would reappear; that the world’s wealthiest deep sea fishermen would have bigger and better catches.
The suspension announcement by the match directors meeting in New York was openly pre dicted at the end of thé ‘1956 sea- son. Then eight competing na- tions managed to land only four fish.
The Jean“cycle had apparently begun the year before when three tuna were boated by seven teams:
LONE CATCH WINS
In 1957 there were three again with Mexico winning on the strength of it’s lone catch—a 655 pounder. And Mexico remained} the defending ‘champion at the end of last year’s competition when four teams: tried but couldn't get a single bite.
It was’ the first fishless tourna- | had | had an etght year |
ment in 15. a-series that started in 1937, curtailment because of the war, and reached its climax in 1949 | when five teams hoisted 72 fish weighing more than 13 and a half tons.
“We hope the good times will
Se back,” said Israel Pothier, thief of the Wedgeport Tuna Suides Association. “‘Now, it’s
zoing to be a little tough but most ‘of us will adjust.” Mr. Pothier echoed the senti-
the;
‘ments of match directors’ chair-
| ment that it was “unfair to invite teams from half-way across the
something.” COLD CASH. LOSS
ment “‘recess” will mean a loss to this area of many thousands of dollars. Hotels alone stand to lose ‘between $20,000 and $30,000 in the first two weeks df. Septem- ber.
Deputy mayor Hubert Lynch of | | Yarmouth, 12 miles away, said it |
was ‘‘tough blow” to the area and the province as a whole.
Mr. Lynch who runs a mens’ clothing shop felt the ‘actual money spent could be considered minor in comparison to the mil- lions of dollars of free advertis-
ing the tournament gives this province.” Capt. Lellis Coutreau, 46, is
one who is prepared: He sug- gested last September ‘‘there are other fish in the sea.”

llose a $5,000 tournament kitty
‘from boat rental, baiting .and guiding fees. With tips that com- peting teams have lavishly pro-
vided in the past; the figure } could be double’ that. a
| ADJUSTMENT IN CYCLE
| For Coutreau and others, Israel Pothier says there will always be “the chance to give the tourist fisherman the best deep sea fish- ing anywhere.’ But it will mean | ‘an adjustment ‘in cycle.” “They'll have to pay more at- tention to haddock, cod, pollock, herring and the harvesting - of Irish moss and blood. worms.” Loran’ E. Baker, selected nine times as member of British Com- monwealth teams, doesn’t think the “recess” is anything to ‘get upset about.” . “We had the hiatus before. The tuna swarmed after the war.”

In Freight Rate Issue
The following telegram address-

, Prime Minister of Canada, Ottawa, was despatched yester- day by Premier A. W. Matheson:
“The people of this province are alarmed at the announcement that the railways are prepared to request the Board of Transport |Commissioners for a further freight rate increase mop Any
freight rate increase is bound to add to inflationary pressures stop Would you not try to prevail upon the railways to refrain from requesting a further freight rate increase at this time stop Since your Government has announced its willingness to investigate the entire transportation situation I believe such a request on your part would be proper and reason- able’’.

WASHINGTON (CP)—Ranking members of the United States
Senate Friday paid’ Canada an. they!
impressive tribute as saluted nine Canadian parliamen- tarians here to seek ways of im- proving relations between . the U.S. and her northern neighbor.
Brisk rounds of applause broke out as the august upper chamber suspended its regular, business proceedings for J® minutes to welcome on its floor a Canadian parliamentary delegation led by Mark Drouin, Speaker of the Ca- nadian Senate, and Roland Mich- ener, Speaker of the Commons.
More than a dozen members rose to bespeak their afection for
press conference to outline their progress here. They return to Ot- tawa Sunday.
They were introduced to the Senate by Senator George D. Aiken (Rep. Vt.), chairman of the four-man Senate group taking part in the talks.
He said resolutions adopted last year by the Canadian Parliament and the U.S. Congress, setting up special committees to study means of providing closer co-op- eration between the two legisla- ‘tures, had not come about “by accident.”’
The Senate foreign relations committee, of which he was a member, long had been “‘keenly
Canada and her people, and Lyn- don Johnson ‘Dem. Tex.), Senate majority leader, said he was happy to welcome such “able and gifted neighbors” because he knew of no country that was “more respected” than Canada.

Later delegation — made up ” two committees, representing thé Canadian Senate and Commons— went into conference with similar committees from the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to set up machinery designed to per- mit close consultation between members of the two national leg- islatures on Canadian-American affairs.
Their heartfelt reception on the Senate floor highlighted a day in
|which they visited the White
House and heard President Eisen- hower express the hope that their visit would strengthen relations, joined Congress in hearing the president's state-of-the-union ..ad- dress and were guests at a lun¢h. eon tendered by members of the
| House of Representatives.

Dissident Rebels Irritate
Castro Wit
HAVANA, Cuba (AP)—C ‘s revolutionary movement, once firmly united in opposition to dic- tatorship, was menaced Friday by the pressures of victory.
Fidel Castro, ‘given a hero's welcome to the capital, already was appealing for maintenance of unity in the tasks of reconstruc- tion.
Seizure of arms and ammuni- tion from Havana's San Antonio barracks Tuesday by dissident revolutionary éfements was one sore point with the guerrilla leader.
Maj. Camile .Cienfuegos, Ha- vana province commander, told a press conference Friday that members of the student-backed revolutionary. directorate had made of with 457 rifles, 63 machine-guns, some hamid gre- nades and pistols, and 80,000
-rounds of ammunition.
heft Of Arms
barracks arms seizure, asked:
“What for? To fight against a provisional government that has the support of all the people?”
Orders went out five days age for the surrender of all weapons in unauthorized hands but police are having dificulty rounding them up.
Castro declared he would take to battle again if anyone at- tempted ta,jopple the new regime by force of arms. He appealed te public opinion to check contra- band trafic in weapons and leave “the little leaders” without troops. -
Pressure is believed to be com- ing ‘from elements within the revolutionary directorate — com- posed principally of students— demanding a big voice in the gov- ernment that succeeds Fulgencio Batista’s — dictatorship.
Dam Death Toll” May Exceed 300
ZAMORA, Spain (AP) — The sleeping village of Rivadelago was swept away early Friday by a wall of water loosed by a burst- ing dam. Rescue workers said less than 200 of the 500 inhabi- tants were known to be alive.
The ground drops 1,690 feet in the three miles between the dam and the village, and the rampag- ing torrent roared through be- fore most villagers could flee their homes.
Burdened by the waters of a month-long rain, the dam broke just after midnight with a roar heard in villages five miles away. Not until 12 hours later, when the water receded, were the first rescue teams able to en- ter the village.
SCENE OF DEVASTATION They ) found a scene of devasta- tion. Not a house was left intact. Wreckage was strewn along the valley, Telegraph and telephone poles were flattened. Kt was hard te see how any-
¢
one still in the\village could em- erge alive. Rescue workers said those who escaped were woods- men away from the village and those lucky enough to have had time to reach high ground after they were awakened by the thunderous bursting of the dam.
Rivadelago lies on the western shores of Lake Sanabria in north-. west Spain, about 10 miles from the border with Portugal.
RESCUERS DELAYED
Rescue workers had great dif- ficulty getting in because of the havoc wrought by the waters. The only road leading to the vil- lage was flooded for hours.
In Madrid, 190 miles to the southeast,,Gen. Franco met with his cabinet to take emergency measures for the relief of the stricken village.
The disaster was the worst is recent Spanish history. The last serious fl Was at Valencia, where about 100 persons lost their lives in October, 1957.
