Study Dark

For the hrst time in 15 years, no light shone from the window of the Pope's study, next to the bedroom. where he always has worked until late at night when in the Vatican.

Little knots of pilgrims waited Thursday night in the great col- onnaded space outside the basilica of St. Peter. gazing at the row of windows on the third I.l'ld top floor of the Vatican Palace.

OTTAWA. (GP) -,The Commons Friday night approved in principle a government measure to increase postal rates by one cent an mince starting April 1.

After a vote of 76 to 50. the ammons gave second reading to a bill embodying the increase. Pro- greesive conservative, OCF and

Social Credit members opposed the bill; the Liberals voted in favor.

The vote came shortly after a GOP attempt to kill the bill was defeated 76 to 59.

The increase would raise the cost of ii one-ounce letter to five cent from four for mailings be- tween postal districts and to four cents from three for mailings within a postal district. Additional ounces she would cost an extra cent.

The government also proposes to eliminate the seven-cent domestic airmail rate and carry all first- cluse mail by air when that would speed service-

This resulted in complaints from producers in Maine who compete against the Maritime growers, particularly in Florida and Puerio Rico.

2,000 Faint, Awaiting Arrival Of Royal Couple

(By Gone Jones)

SYDNEY. Australia, (Reuters)- More than 7.000 Australians faint- erl Friday night while waiting to see Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh arrive for the kolrld Mayor's ball at Sydney town I . ' They were either crushed in the huge crowd around the town hall, or overcome by the humid heat of the warmest day since the royal visitors began their tour of this country on Wednesday.

Altogether 3,000 persons were given first aid treatment by Im- bulance men Friday. They brought to 6.000 the total number treated in the last three days. An estimated l50.000 pgraons were jammed into three streets facing the town hall just before Elisabeth and the Duke arrived. Soon the heat-it was a swelter- ing 83.6-and the crush began to have telling effect on the weaker members of the crowd.

Spending For Coming Year To Reach New Peak

OTTAWA, (CF)-Federal defence spending is being sliced, but the over-all government expenditures for the coming fiscal year will reach I peacetime peak.

The government's 1904-55 main spending program is disclosed in the Commons Friday is a little more than one per cent higher than the known figures for the cur- rent year, thus indicating little possible change in general taxes.

Finance Minister Abbott's main estimates for the year starting April 1 amount to &4.40l,75l,000. This about 358,000,000 above the previous peacetime high of 84.433,- 486,000 for the current year to date, which likely will be increased by supplementary estimates before March 81.

It compares with the all-time high of the war year of 1043-44, when the government spent 35.322,- 000.000. But later supplementary appropriations. coupled with gov- ernment disbursements for which authority through estimates is not needed, could boost the 1954-55 fig- ure beyond the wartime top.

These disbursements include s:lbd.840,000 in old age .security, which comes out of a special tax fund, and 848,165,000 for such things as loan: and investments on which the government gets I later return. They would hoist the 1954-55 total to s4.895,000,000.

One of the most moving events of the day occurred on the lawns of Government House. where 400 crippled and spastic children re- ceived I special visit from the Queen and the Duke. The recep- tion was not included in the of- ficial program and was kept sec- ret. to avoid crowds.

OTTAWA. (OP)-Canada's most northern group of Arctic islands has been named the Queen Eliza- beth Ialands, Northern Affairs Minister Lesage announced today in the Commons.

The islands include some 100.- 000'aquIre miles of territory in- babited by less than 200 persons seattored among seven tiny com- munities. They comprise all Cana- dian soil north of Lancaster and Viscount Melville sounds.

Mr. Lesage said the Queen "has been graciously pleased to allow that her name be given" to the northern half of the Canadian Arc- tic archipelago.

"It seems particularly fitting that our present sovereign should allow her name to be permanently associated with this part of Can- ada," Mr. Lesage said.
