U. S. AND RUSSIA TO OPEN ATOMIC TAL S ON MONDAY

Release Oi PoWs Seen Certainty On Jan-. 22

Posslbliihf Reds Might March South

PANMUNJOM, (AP)-It seems n cinch today that 22,000 chines,: and North Korean prisoners in the anti-Red compounds will be released after midnight Jan. 22.

Top authoritative sources ll. Korea say it is inevitable.

These sources smile over the let- ter-writing. ncte-passing and er. gumonis of the Communists, the Allis and the Indians. The In- dians guard the prisoners.

"All this stuff now going on at Panmunjom." one said. 'is just for show. "The issues have been settled I long. long tfme."

The Allies de,'n:ind release of the prisoners at 12:01 am. Jan. 23. The Reds insist they be held while "come home" interviews are re- sumed and until a Korean peace conference can determine their fate.

The Indians maintain a gentle- msnly. wavering position, irritat- ing but not actually antagonizing either side.

Break-out Plan

It is possible Lt.-Gen. K. S. Thi- mayya, under instructions from his government, might even throw his vote to the Communist side of the Neutral Nations -Repatriation Commission by deciding the pris- oners should be held past the Jan. 22 date. The commission chairman thus would side with the Poles and Czechs and against the Bwisa and Swedes.

If the Reds win such a ruling. plan.s already have been made for the anti-Red prisoners simply to break out of their 55 compounds in the neutral zone and start walking south. it can be said au- thoritatively.

It also can be disclosed that the Indian troops would make no move whatsoever to stop them or slow them.

The Indian view is: a fire. terrible would result."

There is one unanswered ques- tion: Would Ccmmunist forces move into the dcmilitariziod zone

Mr. W. H. Parkcs. Director and General Manager of The T. Eaton Company for the Atlantic Region visited Charlottetown yesterday and expressed his pleasure at being able to announce the Company's inten- tion to erect a new store in this city on the property acquired on Kent street some time ago.

"I regard the building designed for Charlottetown as our nicest small store, containing as it does all the most modern objectives for successful merchandising.

Expect U. S.To Spend More On Defencehere

OTTAWA, (OP-Government of- ficials said Friday they assume the United States will spend more on defence installations in Canada in the coming year.

They said this assumption stems from President Eisenhower's an- nouncement Thursday that the US. will spend 81.000.000.000 more for continental defence in the next fis- cal yenr.

They added that they don't know -but would like to-how muct of this increased outlay will come to Canada. But the bulk of it, of course, would be for the defence build-up in the U. S. itself and Alaska. '

It is many pounds lighter to handle out of the water and of approximately the same weight in water as the standard wooden tra .

that it offers murh smaller sur- face to current and wave action and is less likely to suffer damage from storms. In a trial last season, steel traps were undanmged by A storm that damaged and destroyed about half of the wooden traps in the same area.

Fisheries research workers are not yet certain whether their new- ly-designed lobster trap will catch as many lobsters as the standard type. In tests off Port Mnitland, N. S., in November. catch of the new trap practically equalled that of the older types. The tests are not regarded as conclusive, how- ever, and further tests will be madc in lobster waters of the Maritime Provinces before the traps are approved and recom- mended.

Present lobster traps made of wooden lathe and twine are heavv to handle and susceptible todem- s.ge from ocean cun-ents and storm waves. Yearly loss is about 26 per cent of the 36,000,000 worth of iobstar traps used in the Atlantic Provinces.

Tests still are being canted out to learn whether the- new traps will cawh as many lobsters as the old onu. Tools at Maltisnd, N. 5., during No b vaulted in about

Machine Age Coming To Gaspe Fishing Ihdusiry

OFITAWA, (OP)-The machine age is catching up with the Gaspe's ancient fishing industry.

The fuishenles research was told that its Gsape experts have designed a light-salt fish fish plant which they hope will eliminate much of the back-brcak- ing labor long auociaied with the Gaspe cure sailing operations.

Roierring to the ever-increasing efficiency of fishing fleets, result- ing in bigger and more frequent catches, the department said mod- ernization of methods ashore now is needed.

”The Gaspe cure salt fish is salted in deep tube, the sailor usu- ally carting both the fish from the splitting table and the salt from the salt bin to these ' tubs." statement said. adding:

"To add to his discomfort, he must bend head first into the tub ta salt the fish, a tedious job which few men are able to carry out for long...

Mrs. F. 0. Montgomery. msnsg- ing director of the Canadian Rea- taurant Association, says rutaur- ants will try to go no higher than is cents if an increase becomes necessary.

Preliminary I Discussions Al Washington

WASHINGTON, (AP)-The Un- ited States and Russia will open preliminary atomic talks hero Monday.

State Secretary Dulles and am- bassador Georgi N. Zarubin will sit down to discuss ways and means of holding discussions on President Eisenhower's atoms-for

I peace plan.

U. S. officials hope the talks will show the degree of serious- ness with which the Russians will negotiate on the Eisenhower plan and on their own demand for a ban on the use of atomic weapon.-.

At the same time diplomatic authorities are concerned that these talks and subsequent morn formal negotistlons should ho handled in such a way as to Iii produce the most favorable condi- tions for some sort of atomic agreement with Russia and (2) win the understanding and sup- pcrt of America's Allies.

Privately U. S. diplomats think the Soviet government may try to use the atomic issue to make trouble between ihe United Ethics and Britain or France or Canada.

The latest development came announcement that Dulles Zarubin morning. this were:

None of those developments has shown new basis for hope that the atomic deadlock between tho western powers and Russia is about to be broken. However. the Eisenhower plan did offer a new opportunity for nations to talk about working together.

World's Longest . Oil Pipe line Begins Operating

SA!-bN'lA, Ont, (OP)-The world's longest oil pipe line began oper- ation Friday with the arrival here of the first crude from Alberta to make the entire 1,710-mile trip en- ilrely by pipe line. -

The Interprovin-cial Pipe Linc Company,( builders of the line, said it will provide contlnous year-round movement of crude oil from Alberta to Ontario refineries.

Construction of a 30-inch section of the line over the 645 miles be- tween sarnia and Superior, Wis. was completed in November. since then it has been tested and filled with about 1000,00 Obarrels of oil. The entire line from the Rod-water oil fields north of Edmonton now holds almost 6,000,000 barrels.

ultimate capacity is 300,000 bar- rels g day, but company officials say more pumping stations will be needed between superior and Sur- nia before that capacity can be reached.
