By JAMES M0600!

LONDON. Sept. l6 —- (OP) — Britain's increased independence on Canada ior the maintenance 0i her weekly two-ounce bacon ration — just haii the wartime issue — has been increased by a Fbod Mini» try decision not to pay Denmark higher prices ior smaller quant- ities.

During the war. Canada supplied the bulk oi the British bacon ra- tion oi iour ounces a week, but Denmark returned strongly to the export market last year, signing a three-year contract with the Food Ministry. During the iirst seven months oi this year the Danes shipped 14,500,000 long hitndred- weight compared with Canada's 10,500:000 short hundredweight.

The Danish contract provided ior a price review this rnontlh but the conierence has broken down.

At a press conierence today Food Minister Strachey said the Danes had asked prices "iar in excess oi the prices the United Kingdom is paiying her major suppliers, espec- ially in the British commonwealth."

The Danes asked that their price be increased irom 161 shillings ($82.30) to 236 shillings a long hundredwelght oi 112 pounds. This compared with the Canadian price oi 145 shillings ior a hundred- weight oi 100 pounds.

Britain oiiered the Danes 172 shillings a long h-undredwcight but would go no higher.

Strachey said Britain's econcsnlc position did not allow her to "pay ian-ey prices ior iood irom any ex- ternal source."

Under the contract, Danish ship- ments may be suspended Oct. i. unless a new price is negotiated. In that event Britain stands to lose bacon imports oi nearly 10,000,000 pounds in the ccming year.

Canadian supplies to the United Kingdom now are rising but it is questioned ii they will be auiiicient to more than mantain the present ration, which the authorities had hoped to raise to three ounces weekly.

Britain also refused a Danish. request ior an increase in the but- ter price oi irom 242 to 341 1-2 shillings a long hundredweight. Denmark provides less than haii the butter supplied annually by Britain's source, New Zealand. Also. the Danes asked ior an in- crease in their egg price oi irom 120 shillings to 1E6. which Britain answered by odiering to pay 122 i-2. All the prices Britain oiiered were accompanied by a guarantee they would hold ior the next two years. with the additional promise oi sup- pOrt prices ior a third year. Canada now is Britain's chief egg supplier. shipping nearly 30,000,000 dozen in seven months oi 1947 ior a price o4 £3,866,860.

OTTAWA, Sept. ic-The Fed- eral Government today posted re- wards oi $1.000 apiece on the heads oi the three escaped Kings- ton convicts and warned that they probably are armed and in the possession oi a sub machkic-gun.

The amounts, ior iniormation leading to their capture, are con- tained in an R.C.M.P. circular bearing photographs and descrip- tions oi the threc-Nioholas (Nick) Minille oi Ottawa, Uiysse Leuzon oi Windsor. Ont. and Donald (Mickey) McDonald oi Toronto.

Issuance oi the circular coincid- ed with a report here that the three men iled to a hideout in the Laurentian Mountains near Calumet.

The story oi the nest-escape hideaway came irom Rheal Dem- ers. released irom Kingston Peni- tentiary, who said he had heard oi the escape plans while in beni- tentiary but had not considered them seriously. _

I-Te said the three convicts and a. mysterious “Biili" irom Mont- real went to his home at Hawks- bury, Ont, the night oi Aug. 18 and demanded a. hideout. I-Ie then took them to a log cabin near Kilmar Mines. 10 miles north oi Calumet. Que. arid 18 miles northwest oi Grenville.

Blame For High Prices

By Marvin L. Arrowamith

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16- (AP) —Scnator Claude Pepper (Demo- Fia.) said today there is no hope ior any eiiort to check rising liv- ing costs and "the American people might just as well get ready tor

g another recession."

He told reporters the Republican- controlled Congress is to blame. But Senator Owen Brewster

' (Rep. Me.) said that so iar as food

prices are concerned. they are high because the Truman administrat- ion is shipping too much iood to Europe and other areas.

Pepper scoiied at this, saying:

"We've got to help those people more, not less. Ii we want to step Communism, we've got to make the capitalism oi Europe work.”

Senator Homer Capehart (Rep.- Ind.) said he ‘thinks high prices are linked to the American iorelgn aid program but the basic answer to rising living costs is increased production and "we ought to be working 46 lhoura a week instead oi 40."

Pepper contended that the ne- publicans led the light which brought about removal oi price controls last year, 1t is "too much to hope" that they would "reverse themselves‘ and do anything to haul down prices.

The Republican reply to this arg- ument is that Congress only relax- ed price controls and that the ad- ministration. which claimed the new set-up was unworkable. re- moved them.

"Save iood to save that would be my slogan." eter declared.

He preferred putting it that way rather than saying "eat less and

Canada Heading For Worst Meat Shortage

An appeal by the Alberta “der- ation 0i Aflicuiture ior recogni- tion oi the meatpackers’ strike as a national emergency, emphasized the growing iear that only Dom- inion-wide conciliation can avert the worst meat shortage bi Can- adian history.

The Federation asked the Can- adian Federation oi Agriculture at Ottawa to request the Dominion Government to re-open and take over operation oi all strikebound meat-processing plants pending settlement oi the wage dispute be- tween the United Packinghouse Workers oi America (C.I.O.) and the "Big Three" oi the industry.

Twenty-one plants operated by the “big three" — Swiit Canadian Company, Canada Packers Limited and Burns and Company - now are strikebound. The Union seeks a basic wage oi 92 cents an hour. which would mean an average in- crease oi 1'7 cents. Swift has oifer- ed three cents. the other two com- panies iive cents.

Alberta yesterday became the fourth privince among the eight aiiected by the strike to accept in principle the idea oi conciliation on a national scale. Premier Manning sad his government is agreeable "to nomination oi (an) acceptable concillatcr jointly with other prov- inces."

Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba previously agreed to the same type oi proposal.

Strange New Heavy Metal l ls Discovered p.

By Alton L. Blakeslee

NEW YORK. Sept. 16 -—(AP)—A strange new metal that seethes and bubbles and emits a soil glow was described ior the il-rst time today to the American Chemical Society. This metal is curium, element 96, the heaviest-known element. It is man-made, it no longer exists in nature, and is the most violently radioactive solid ever isolated. Proi. Isadore Perlman oi the University oi Caliiovmia announc- ed that a tiny amount oi curluim. smaller than a grain oi sand.. had been produced ior the first time in pure ion-n. There is just enough to see it with the naked eye. And this sand-grain amount now repre- sents the total world supply. Curium is one oi iour man-made metals discovered during the atom bomb project. The others are plutonium. the super-explosive ior atom bombs; Ameirlciuim and neptunium. All iour probably existed natural- ly on earth millions oi years ago when the planet was younger, and much hotter, but because oi their redioactlvl-iy they broke down or decayed into other elements. This tiny bit oi pure curium has a. slight yellowish cast. Dr. Periman said. It is kept in a solution, and it, tears apart the hydrogen and oxygen in_the water. making these gases bubble oii. Ii enough oi the~curium was con- centrated, it would probably melt by itseli. It would be warm to touch. But touching it imlght be iatal. Even id an extremely tiny mount entered the body, it would cause eventual death due to its extreme radioactivity. No uses are yet foreseen ior curlum. partly because oi the ter- riiic diiiiculty oi making it in any quantity. - The sand-grain piece oi curium is dying rapidly, in 57 days haii ci it ‘iaappearn. then in another 5’! days haii that remainder is gone. 1n one minute's time, one millionth oi a gram oi curiian emits 70.000.- 000.000 alpha particles, nr elect- rically charged helium ioois.

' Though the resolution, moved by 9 Rev. W.I. Green, Stanley Bridge, and seconded by Rev. ES. Weeks. Bedeque, was passed with such a 5 large majority as to cause the chairman. Mr. J.H.
