IIIGIITOWER WASHINGTON (AP) Pres- hlent Eisenhower is resisting pressures from some senior milit- ary advisers to make a firm, final decision now to defend the Chinese coastal islands of Quemoy and Mntau. it was learned Tues- day.

Eisenhower apparently holds the hope that in the long run his basic aim of a peaceful settlement of the Fprmosa conflict will be achieved.

OTTAWA (CP) - Prime in- later St. Laurent was scc ed Tuesday of being ”on strike" and of misleading Canadians in the current unemployment situation. The statements came from Pro- gressive Conservative and CCF speakers as the Commons entered the ' X stage of a debate on lIl'IEIIIDl0ysIsrssi. which has contin- ued off and on through more than seven days since March 1. Hazen Argue (CCF-Assiniboia) said Mr. St. Laurent had said nothing in the debate to disclose government plans for action to meet the problem. "He is sitting it out: he is sit- ting in the bleachers." Mr. Argue said. The prime minister appar- ently was on strike because the government had no policy to an- nounce. PROTESTS ATTITUDE George Hess (PC - Toronto Broadvlew) said Mr. St. Laurent has tried to mislead Canadians by saying unemployment likely will be dealt with at a federal-provin- cial fiscal conference here April 26. "The prime minister knows nothing is further from the truth." Mr. l-lees said. Purpose of the April 26 conference was merely to arrange a later full-dress fiscal conference. "The prime minister has done nothing else but shllly-shally and shadow-box around this problem." Mr. Hoes said he protests against "the casual and disinter- ested attitude" of Mr. St. Laurent.

Regulations Seen Blow To Potato Industry In an interview late last night with a representative of the Potato DeaIers' Associa- tion it was disclosed that they have been in contact with the Department of Agriculture relative to an order received only yesterday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has ruled that only potatoes of a minimum size of two and a quarter inches can now be ex- ported to the U. S. A. The Dealers' Association has taken steps to assure that this regu- lation is vigorously protested by the local Department of Agriculture and have offered several arguments in support of their decision. . While they do not anticipate that this regulation will have any serious effect on this year's move- ment they do feel that the prin- ciple could bave a far-reaching effect on further shipments to the U.S.A. and its protectorates. The Association has ensured that this action on the part of the U.S. Dept. has been the dir- ect result of representations made to It by the Maine potato grow- ers. who now have a similar size minimum to maintain. The point is that this size minimum is not prevalent throughout the U.S.A. but is a regulation imposed by the Maine growers and is not in effect elsewhere. The dealers feel that it is an unfair order especially when it is in effect in only one section of U.S.A. and not throughout the whole of the country. It "is noted that the Mercantile Board has been the brunt of sev- ere criticism during the past few months as a result of reports that it has been used by specu- lators who have no Interest in the potato business. Only 1001b. pack- ages are involved which are the only packages sold on the Mer- cantile Board. This representative also stated that the market,has strengthened considerably in the past two days due to the heavy frosts experi- enced in the South on Saturday night. While this has resulted in a marked advance in the local market. it is impossible to say how long the reaction will be beneficial. as it is felt that it is yet too soon to estimate the actual damage done.

Donald Gordon said Tuesday, it will "beat the pants off the diesel." The president of the CNR - which has been going in heavily for coal-displacing diesel engines lately-gave the opinion before examining CNR affairs. Mr. Gordon was under ques- tioning by Clarie Gillis (CCF- Cape Breton. South), a former coal miner who has previously expressed doubts as to the fu- lure of a coal-burning turbine that has been under development for several years at McGill Uni- versity under federal government sponsorship. Mr. Gillis said Tuesday that while the turbine is being de- veloped the coal industry is dis- appearing and the railways are switching to oil-burning diesels. He wanted Mr. Gordon's view. STILL I-IOPEFUL "The problem (If the coal- burning diesel is far from solv- ed". Mr. Gordon said. "There are still a lot of bugs in it. But I'm still hopeful. "If a coal-burning turbine loc- omotive can be produced it will beat the pants off the diesel.” He said the CNR has not gone so deeply into diesels that it could not switch over to gas tur- bines in a few years. The diesels were expected to write off their costs in 10 years from the start of operations. The CNR had in mind that the gas turbine. alomlc fuel or other new forms of propulsion wouldn't be competitive with diesels in that period. "After that. we will be ready to adopt new forms of power if they prove successful," Mr. Gor- don said-.
