QPIAWA. Nov. s - (or) -‘rn- dustry in the Maritime: is injured by the type of railway freight. rate increase put into effect in the last two years, the Royal Commis- lwn on Transportation was told today.

A Maritime witness declared that m9 Percentage-type general increase, two of which have been granted in the last two years, puts l heavier burden on Maritime in- dustries than on those that have relatively-short hauls to the cen- trol Canadian markets.

The witness-C. M. P. Fisher. vice-president of the Enterprise

‘Foundry, Ltd., at Sackville, N.B.—

proposed that the last two percent- age increases be cancelled and that the increases be made on the basis of cents per 100 pounds. with a maximum increase laid down for long-haul traffic.

He said differentials in rates between Maritime; and Central Canadian shippeii, widened by the two hoists, should be PEICOPQG. to the levels in effect before Lilo first 1948 rate Jncrease.

Rail vl. Truck

The commission slso heard a reiteration of the stand of 20 rail- way unions that trucking services should not be allowed to compete with railway lines where the rail- ways are providing the public with an "adequate service."

Another union presentation was to be delivered before the commis- sion tomorrow by the Canadian

Congress of Labor, which has about 360,000 members. The rail unions‘ presentation

was sharply attacked today by counsel for the Canadian Auto- motive Transportation Association. representing 5,000 “for hire" truck- ers in all but the four eastern- most provinces.

F. R. Hume of Toronto, counsel for the Trucking Association, charged that the union group in calling for tighter regulation of trucking wanted this regulation carried out "from the view-point of the railways."

Urge Central Authority

A major proposal of the rail unions‘ brief was that there should be a central authority to control all forms of for--hire transport. At present, each Province regulates its own trucking operations.

Mr. Fisher told the commission that rate differentials which had been established between Muri- tlms and Central Canadian Prov- inces. to enable the, Maritime goods to get into markets, had been disturbed by the increases of the lllt two years.

It seemed likely. he said, that Maritime products would be push- ed out of some markets as the re- sult of the increases, and he added the public in the Maritime: was "aroused" over them.

While conceding that the rail- ways nvded more revenues, he laid these phould not have been granted in such a way as to im- pose a heavier burden on the long- haul shipper.

He said the differential between Maritime and Central Canadian shippers in getting to their mar- kets should be restored to the position where i-t was before the first rate increase of April, 1948.

Mr. Fisher also laid the rail- ways should pick up part of the additional net revenue they need-

Seels Canada's Trade Wiih West Indies In Danger

OTTAWA. Nov. a -<c1=> —0a.n- Ma's trade with the British West Indles- dgl/Elflllfidv after generations 0! WOYK. is steadily becoming more imd more restrictive, senator- J,J, KWEY (Ir-Nova Sootls) said today in the senate.

Ho gave notice he will call for debate on Canadian-British West Indies "We 50°11 and to probe what the Government is doing to recapt- ure that msrket for Canadian com- modltics.

Senator Kinley also raised the Ls- sue before a meeting of the Senate banking and commerce committee earlier today. He was backed by another Maritime member, Senator A. Neil McLean (L-New Bruns- wick).

The question arose during dis- cussion of the Government's bill to extend import-export controls to March l, 1052. The extension was cut down to July 31. i951. by an amendment which carried by 10 to seven.

As a market for Canadian goods. the West Indies had been intimate with Nova Scotla for generations. Senator Klnley said.

Now, only food products were getting into that market which was steadily being swallowed by other countries. This situation would bc more seriously aggravated by de- valuation. the Senator added.

A.M. Shaw, director of the Agri- culture Devpartinencs Marketing Service who appeared before the committee. said that durins the war Canada supplied the Indies with soods that area could not get else- where.

Senator McLean said Canada now was getting "a poor pay-off." It was a market in which Canada had pioneered for years.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 3 — (AH- Coveted Nobel prizes for 1949 in the fields of physics and chemistry were awarded today to two pro- fessors in American universities- one a Japanese and the other a Canadian scientist.

The first Japanese ever to re- ceive the Nobel prize, Dr. Hidekl Yukawa, was awarded the high honors for his mathematical dis- covery of the matter which holds electrons and protons together in the atom. The 42-year-old Dr. Yukawa has been professor of thmretical physics at Columbia University since last September.

Winner of the chemistry prize was Dr. William Francis Giauque, 54, professor of thermo-dynamics at the University of California, who has studied the action of atoms at an absolute zero tem- psrature. He is a native of Ni- agara Falls, Ont. '

The prize for literature _ was shelved until next year after it was reported that the members of the Stockholm Academy wars deadlocked in their secret meet- ing over four top candidates, in- cluding Winston Churchill and the Italian philosopher, Benedetto Croce. Although none of the 95 candidates nominated were named, it was believed that the other top two in the controversy were the American novelist, William Faulk- ner, snd Carl Sandbar!- Doet and biographer of Abraham Lincoln.

At an impressive ceremony to be held Dec. l0, attended by the Swedish royal family, former win- ners of the Nobel prize and lead- ers of Swedish culture and so- ciety. the 1949 winners will re- ceive 156,289 Swedish crowns (about $30,000 since the crown was devalued as against more than 940.000 in previous years) for each

Medicine: Dr. Walter Rudolf Hess, 89, of Switzerland, and Dr. Antonio Caetano dc Abreu Frelre Egas Moniz. 75, of Portugal. who share the prize money for their work in the study of the brain.

Like Dr. Yukawa, Dr. Giauquc is a "pure scientist" who dedicate: his work to finding out the secrets of the universe and of the matter that makes it up. He is the ivorld’! foremost expert on cold. He de- veloped methods oi’ his own for reducing temperatures closer to absolute zero than had ever been reached before. Scientists using his methods have been reported within only a few thousandths of a degree Fahrenheit of this scien- tific bottom.

The official citation issued by the Academy of Science in Shock- holm said he was awarded the prize for chemistry "for his con- tribution to chemical thermo- dynamics, especially for his in- veotlgationa of the propertlel 0! substances at extremely low tern- pertfurel." ,

OTTAWA. Nov. 3 —-(CP) — An order from naval headquarters in June. 194B, prompted removal of Maple Leaf insignia from the fun- nels of Canadian warships but a naval spokesman said today nobody there now seems l0 be able to say why it was done. ~ The report of a three-man cem- mission drew attention to the leaves, first used in 1944. as one of the ways of identifying Canadian ships.

Regarding the development in American policy on Premier Tltds conflict with the Kremlin. a. State Department pres officer. Michael J. McDermntt. said the United States will consider requests for the purchase of airplanes and parts. but

that no specific requests have been formally made by the Yugoslav Government.

Heretofore, such sales by Ameri- can companies were forbidden un- der the general policy of denying Wer-Cvtcntial goods to iron-curtain countries.

The change is in line with the idea of giving Tito economic and political support in the interest of preventing a return of Soviet Com- munist domination of Yugoslavia.

Regarding a specific purchase of aviation gasoline and lubricants, McDermott said. the Yugoslav! have asked permission to buy these hiat- erials. Their request has been screened and approved by the Commerce and Stale Departments.
