OTTAWA. l May 17 -(CP) .. Canada is slowly evolving a item If trade with Jlllln and estern geimany that eventually may mean a return to old, pro-was -iormailty.

However. trade officials say it ll” be a long time before the final ilops are taken to restore complete ,-eiaiioru with the two countries. l.'1'lL.ldll'lg the appointment to Can. aria of trade commissioners from the wartime enemies.

aliicials indicate that idia estab- ::-hnicnt of normal trade relat- -ills with West Germany is more urgcnlly required than in the case -l Japan. Japan's big suppliers are -,he united States and countries in W orient. There swears to be mild immediate hopcrthat Canada um become 3 big supplier of goods .1 that country.

HOWE AIIRIVES

Continued from page 1

M...:............ wheat you will need next year.” he told reporters. "We can let you have as much as you will require. it is far too early to discuss prices."

Coincident with the arrival of the Canadian party were press re- ports that the British housewlfe's chances for a more-palatable loaf may binco an the decisions reach- ed between Howe and the British treasury.

The talks are expected to con- .-mi the aeb-up of Anglo-Canadian

wheat transactions following oom- fa

piction of the present four-year cnntract which ends July 31.

The National Association of British and Irish millers is carri- paigning for Britain to take more wheat and less flour. By reducing the extraction rate from B to 8) per cent. it is contended. a better tnaf would be obtained.

During the current season aw- nii-tu-ciiths of Britain's imports of Canadian wheat have been paid luv by Marshall-plan dollars.

Sources believe that any remain-

- inc chance of continued M.ars.ha.ll- pian financing might be ended if immiii undertook to purchase all Lil? Dominion's international ulliihll-6gl'C9!Xl8l'lt quota of dollar u 3li".1l..

Chances of Marshall-plan fin- ar.-:iiig would be greater, these .i(7llTCEs say. if Britain could buy some United States wtheat.

The sources add that if Howe d”0s make an arnngement with the British Government on quant- iii and price of Canadian wheat to be bought in ni-stain in the 12 months beginning Aug. 1. it may be in the form of an "understand- ing" rather than an open and binding ...eoment.

tel-national boundary, and beyond there was good news: the flood receded gradually.

Weather reports were encourag- ing. Light rain last night and this morning had no effect on the Red's level: there was intermittent sunshine; and only light showers were forecast for toxnorraw..

The chance of heavy rainfall- the worst risk now to greater Winnipeg-was described by the weather office as "very slight."

Bur while the river was quiet. there were political rumblings from the 1950 flood which covers more than 540 square miles oi southern Manitoba and one-sixth al the central 49 square miles of greater W'nnlpeg.

Mayor Garnet Coulter of Win- nipeg accused the Manitoba Gov- ernmcnt of "inertia" and laid municipal representatives got "no- where" yesterday when they in- terviewed Premier Douglas L. Campbell on rehabilitation plans.

Fiery Alderman C. E. Simonite went further. Mr. Campbell's hand- ling of the flood situation. he said. "was pretty close to criminal neg- lect of the people he is supposed to represent."

Brig. Morton. the flood comman- der. had problems of a different YIZIILINE.

"Quite a few people in the city are becoming too pttmlaiic. some even assuming that danger is past.” he said.

Aciualiy the situation was peril- ous. The dikes were in reasonably gnilsfactory condition but they had been weakened by days of constant water pressure. At any time. vol- unteer dike workers might be needed again in great numbers.

Headquarters figures showed that a few more than 5.000 persona left the flood zone yesterday. raising to some 90.000 the number who have needed the Brigadier-'a appeal for all women. children, lnvallds and old folks to dull the danaar Iran-

Mr. Stephens acid heavy rainfall over the whole Red River Valley lg the moat serious danger to greater Winnipeg now that the river has reached in flood crest.

Heavy rain and snow several weeks ago was blamed for adding four feet to the Red's llm crest.

Until the river dropped to 25 fact. there could be wholesale In- terruption of essential services. forcing general evacuation of the greater Winnipeg area. .

Newly-Recognized Diphtheria Germ

BALTIMORE. Md., May 17 - (Al?)-Laboratory workers were warned today to be on the alert for what appears to be a newly- reoognlzed form of diphtheria germ, lest certain cases oi this dangerous disease be incorrectly diagnosed.

An Indiana doctor said it's pos- sible that some persons may have died in the past because they were infected with this unusual typo. Dr. ma state Board of Health also advised family doctors that if they have any suspicion of diphtheria. while awaiting results oi laboratory tests. to give the patient diphtheria anti-toxin.

If it turns out that they haven't diphtheria. Dr. Damon said in an interview at the golden jubilee meeting of the society of Ameri- can Bacteriologists, the anti-toxin will not hurt them.

Damon said the newly-recognize ed bug is ll fungus-like organism that grows in "coils" like ordinary molds, as distinguished from the rodshaped "classical" diphtheria

But he said that in ext oratory procedures. it lg to make the fungus-like organism evolve into the regular bug.

He also said there is a procedure whereby a laboratory worker can get a definite indoication-within a day's time-Jwhether a given fungus-like organism is the type apparently able to cause diph- thsria.
