Molotov To Submit

Will Urge Improved Naval Training Facilities Here

A strong recommendation for heiter training facilities for I-1.M. C5. Queen Charlotte will be made by Commodore Kenneth F. Adams, c.D.. R.C.N.. Commanding Officer Naval Divisions. Hamilton. Ont.

The Commodore is here as part of a familiarization tour of the 22 Naval Divisions scattered across Canada. from st. John's, Nt1d.. to British Columbia. His post was made necessary by the need of the Naval Reserve for a command of its own to handle various de- tails.

Present plans call for a Reserve sufficiently large to combine with the regular force to look after im- mediate needs in the event of a war. Commodore Adams stated that modern ships are so highly technical that the Navy could not out man on board unless they knew the equipment. For this reas- on training of men for emergen- cisa is a. ncceulty.

Tn Double Reserve

He hopes to double the present Reserve which means recruiting wprioorimately 8000 men. The Commodore recalled that in the old days England won Wars by winning the last battle, but he maintains that will no longer hold true as the next war will be an atomic one and men must. be trained far in advance. Any en- emy to be met will be well equip- ped and well trained and it will be too late for enlisting -when mobilization starts.

To the young men of Canada he advises that it is their country in defend and keep and youth must recognize its responsibilities. 1' is not enoueh. he says. to state that one is prepared to fight for his country, he must be ready in advance. Commodore Adams says there is nothing wrong with the youth of the country, all it needs Ll leadership. when that is given them they turn out to be extra- ordinarily fine citizens.

This year the Navy is develop- ing a training scheme on the Great Lakes where basic instruc- tion can be given. Mom advanced

Pope's Condition Is Unchanged -

VATICAN GITY. (AM --The Pope Tuesday held the ground he has gained in his stubborn fight for recovery from the gastric ail- ment which struck him dovm 16 days ago.

The Vatican press office said the 17-year-old head of the Roman Catholic Church "had-a tranquil night and rested well."

For the second consecutive day the Pope was able to take some food and leave his bed for a short while.

It was hoped he would soon re- gain sufficient strength so that his doctors would be able to make additional x-ray examinations to determine the conditions of the gastric wall and organs near it.

This has not been possible be- cause the Pope was unable to re- tsln the fluid necessary for the

examination.

Rejects Wests Appeal For Free Elections

3: Ituiior Pi-iddis

BERLIN, (Reuters) soviet Foreign Minister Molotov has rejected the West's final appear for free German elections but promises a new plan for European security at today's Big Four ses- slon.

On that basis. the United states, British and French for- eign ministers agreed to discuss the deadlocked German issue once again today. They sched- uled a second secret meeting Thursday to debate a conference with Communist China. and will start discussing an Austrian treaty at an open meeting Pri- day.

After listening to Molotov's 90- minute address Tuesday, U. S. State Secretary Dulles comment- cd: "since I have heard nothing new. I have nothing to say."

He said there still is "a basic and fiurdamental difference" on Russia's plan to rearm an inde- pendent Germany for defence purposes and the Western pro- posal to rearm the nation with- in the European army.

"Nothing that was said suggests to me that it can be reconciled,” Dulles said.

Suggest Reconsider

All three Western ministers suggested Molotov reconsider his views outside the conference hall instead of engaging in further fruitless debate. But Mo1otov's promise of a security plan brought an extension of the debate on item two - Germany and Eu- ropean security - until at least today. a,

Molotov pleaded again for I provisional. all-German govern- ment composed of East and West German delegates before free elections are held to determine the shape of a. future regime.

Rebel Forces Within 8 Miles Of Laosl Capital

By Max Clos

LUANGPRABANG, Lsos. (AP) -spearheads of the 0orrtmunlst.- lad Vietrnlnh rebels advanced to within eight miles of Luang-prr bang Tuesday.

The French Union defenders dug in deeper to meet any all- out assault on the Laotian cap- ital.

The bulk of Vieunlnh'I crack Division 800. slicing across Leos toward the Thailand border. was reported about so miles away. No direct attack on the city was foreseen for several days.

Some military leaders expres- sed belief the Vistmlnh may not attack Iiuangprabang. despite tn! menacing advance of the last week. They view the rebel cam- paign as having more of ii pol- itical than a military purpose. The rebels advanced toward the royal capital lslt May. only to pull away without attacking.

These military men believe the Vistrninh has no chance of tak- ing Luangprabsng with the esti- mated 11.0w men committed to the offensive. They said the rebels may have two other ob-

1. Make the French pull back the forces with which they have been operating for two months in the lion and Buong river valley approaches to Luangprabang.

2. lhtablish closer contact for the rebels between the Red Chi- nese frontier to the north and Dunn: and Thailand to the south and west.

OTTAWA. (CF) poultry farmers. Researlch Council substitute cheap seaweed for ground cats in the rations for growing chickens and laying hem. The council said Tuesday that. the Dominion experimental farm at Nappan, N. S,, has been ex- pcrimeniing with seaweeds as I substitute for animal feeds and soil fertilizers.

It has been shown at Nappan. said the council. that kelp meal (dehydrated ground rockweed) may be incorporated up to 10 per cent in the feed of growing chicks and laying hens.

This can serve as a substitute for ground oats or as an addition to a balanced ration if soybean meal is also added to provide enough protein.

'No adverse effect was noted on mortality, egg production, strength of shell, hetchability or body weight." he report said.

In all Canada last year there were only 15 pigs with slaughter test advanced registry scores over 90. Of these 9 were in this Pro- vince to again maintain the do- niinnnce of Island-bred York- shlrcs, according to figures releas- ed by Mr H. W. Clay, Federal De- partmz-nt. of Agriculture.

Of the 46 pigs with slaughter test scores between 85 and 89 there were 22 on the Island. In the 80 to 84 test group there were 73 with 23 of them from here. In the 3011 class no other Province had more than three. with those being in Ontario, Alberta had 1 and Saskatchewan the other two.

On the Islnnd 111.7 of the sows tested qualified while the per- centage for all other Provinces was only 47 per cent. Prince Ed- ward Island qualified 0'7 sows and had only 15 fall to make the grade. This was the second highest in Canada. exceeded only by Ontar- io with 81. However, the latter Province had 63 failures for a 56.2 percentage. ,

In the nine Provinces. (New- foundland ls not included in the monthly release of figures), there were 227 sows qualified and 1011 failed, This Province. Ontario and Manitoba were the only n.-res with more qualifying than falling.

The advanced registry scores for thn sows showed Prince Ed- ward Island with 31 having a test of R5 or higher and 51 under 35. All other Provinces combined had only 30 with scores of &5 or more and 313 under that figure.

The percentage of Grade A hogs by Provinces last year com- pared to 1952 once more shows the Island far in advance. The figures are:

Can. Substitute Seaweed Fcr Oats In Animal Feed, Research Council Finds

carried out at Nappan on the growth and fattening of bacon hogs. Seaweed meal may form up to six per cent of the ration from a weight of 40 pounds to maturity of the animals.

The council's Maritime regional laboratory at Halifax. opened In 1952, has busied itself with pos- sible greater use of the prolific beds of seaweed around the coasts of the four Atlantic provinces.

Between 40 and 50 per cent of dried seaweed is carbohydrate, which in turn is made up of cel- lulose. starch and a large amount of polysaccharides, found only in seaweeds. Polysaccharides are able to retain moisture and thus serve as a soil conditioner. They also contain calcium and magnesium phosphates and traces of iodine and cobalt.

Concludes the council: "Sea- weed meal lhus seems to present possibilities as a cheap supple- mentary feed for farm animals and also as a combined soil con-

ditioner and fertilizer."

PEI Breeders Again Lead In Quality Hog Production

foresees Bright Fall Prospecls In Hog Marketing

The primary cause of the pres- ent high cost. of pork and pork products is the great decrease in the number of hogs being mar keted at present, according to Mr H. W. Clay, senior livestock finld man in the Federal Department or Agriculture here.

Mr. Clay, who has done sf- much towards improving the breec here and in developing the Is lcnd-type Yorkshire hog. feelri that conditions are very bright in this Province for fall marketing and thinks that prices may he even higher than hreedcrs anticl- pale.

At the same time he believes that the high cost of pork is help- ing maintain beef at. a higher price than would he the case if pork were selling at :1 lower cost.

The normal home consumption of pork in Canada is approxi- mately 90.000 hogs per week, but at present there are only about 75,000 being marketed. This nu-mi: the deficit must be made up from storage supplies, rind they are diminishing fast to a point win-re lhey are now far below normal with no chance in replenish them.

He had done odd jobs in Miss Shedlac's cluttered junk shop the day before and returned Friday to ask for breakfast. The attack oc- curred as she prepared the meal.

Robbery was apparently the motive, police said. because it was a long-s-tending rumor about town that the elderly Syrian woman kept large sums of money on her person.
