Oppgsition

Alberta To Resist With All Means Available

(By John Lenlanoi

OTTAWA, July 15 - (CP)-A fourth post-war round of freight- rate increases was sought today by the railways and opposition was promptly voiced by Premier Meaning of Alberta.

The new boost, if granted. would cost. more than 380,000,000 a year.

In Edmonton, Premier Manning said "We believe the Western economy has to bear more than

its share of the freight rates bur- den. We will resist any further increase with any means at our disposal."

The request also aroused a pro- test from Winnipeg's Mayor Gar- net Coultcr. He announced that his city and the Chamber of Commerce will oppose the appli- cation.

The railways asked the Board of Transport Commissioners to authorize separate increases of seven and nine per cent, which would bring the boosts of the last few years up to a cumulative 97 per cent. The increases are effective on about half the rail- ways' 0900,000,000-a-ycar freight business. .

Besides applying for the general increases, the railways also called on the Board of Transport Com- missioners to let them hoist. the

2. McKinney told reporters Tru- man will not come to Chicago un- til after the Democratic nominee is chosen.

3. Sullivan demanded of McKin- ney that ths entire convention proceedings be thrown open to press, radio and television because "we want to be free of those fix- ers and masters of the double- cross."

4. Sullivan said he had been told an effort had been made to bribe some or the California delegates.

6. McKinney told he has recom- mended all proceedings be open to tefevision, radio and the preu,t.hst he lmows of "no deals," and that "this is really a wide-open, free convention."

In addition. McKinney said he does not think the name of Gov- ernor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois will be placed in nomination.

Telling reporters of his Sunday talk with Truman, McKinney said the President told him: "I meant what I said about not running. I've served my time. This is s man-killing job. You wouldn'twsnt to see me carried out of here in a pine-board box, would youl"

A crowd numbcrcd by police at, up to 10,000-society women. "hep-i cats" and plain curious-lined the streets to see the culmination of a romance that blossomed in jazz clubs.

Notes Similarities

Lord Lovat was very lmpresed with the appearance of this Prov- ince and remarked that from a height of 2,000 feet it was just like his own country. He noted that fields were similar in size to those, of the Old Country and the farms: were grouped the same Way with almost the same an-angement oi inter-connecting roads. He remark- ed on the noticeable gvreenness and compared it to Ireland while stating that the high state of cull- ivailon reminded him of both Eng-, land and Scotland. The nearnessl to the sea also made a deep im- pression with His Lordship as it. recalled the British Isles where he said a person was seldom more ihan 45 miles from the water.
