Evasive lieplies From Beds Al Truce Talks MUNSAN. Koren. Dec.o-Com- muntst truce delegates dodged or gave evasive answers Wednesday on terms for supervising a Korean armistice but the United Nations command indica it is ready to probe for areas of common agree- ment. A third sub-committee session was scheduled fat 1 u. m. today (9 p. m. Wednesd EST) at Pan- munjom. In exploratory talks Wednesday the Communists cited two Russian satellites. Poland and Czechoslo- vakia. as suitable to serve on the Communist proposed neutral in. spection teams to police a Korean truce. The Reds also mentioned Swit- zerland. Denmark and Sweden as qualified to serve because they had not sent troops to Korea. An Allied spokesman said the fact that neutral countries were discussed was no indication that the U. N. command had accepted the Red proposal for, truce in- spections by neutral nations. Drop In Fishery C.a.ish,.E0I;,iiarll . OTTAWA. Dec. 5 - (Special) .. Value of fish and crustaceans caught in Prince Edward Island waters for the first 10 months of 1951 total s2,077,000 according to figurm made public today by Trade and Commerce Minister 1-fowe. This is 8245.000 less than the value of the total catch of 1950 which is given as s2.322.000. with new draggers out on the fishing grounds however. the gap may be partly closed before the end of the current year. Almost the entire decline in the 1951 catch as compared to that of 1950 is represented in the smaller catch of lobsters. In 1950 value of the P.E.I. lobster catch was 31,- 940,000 whereas for the first 10 months of the current year, it sag- gcd to 31,701,000. a drop of 5239.. 000. Oysters dropped from 552,000 to 343.000. The 1951 catch of scallops was also down to one-third of those taken last year. The current year's catch of cod and halre were well above those of 1950. but clams and quahaugs were down to 315000 from 528,000 in 1950. For the month of October this year. catch of fish and crustaceans was valued at 592.000 compared to 3111.000 in 1950. The drop was chiefly accounted for in the smelt fishery which this October netted only 322.000 as compared to 339,000 ii 1950. Lobsters caught in October also dropped from 323,000 to 314.- 000. On the other hand. this Octo- ber'a catch oi mackerel is valued at 013.000 compared to the 1950 catch of 37,000. l OTTAWA. Doc. 5 -(CP)- Prime Minister and Mrs. -st.

Plunges V-ehicle With Machinery lnlog lliveL RIVIERE DU LOUP. Quc.. Dec. 5-(CP)--Ag 78-foot long bridge built 72 years ago collapsed today while a large platform truck carrying heavy construction ma- chinery moved acrosl. One of the few witnesses said the steel. concrete and wood structure "swayed" briefly when the long vehicle loaded with a bulldozer and other machinery moved slowly along the bridge. The crash shook houses a short distance away from the winding shallow river from which the town takes its name. Driver Roland Morency of An- cionne Loretta and his . helper. Roland Glguere of Quebec City. were unhurt in their 20-foot drop into the river which cuts across the main St. Lawrence south shore highway about 120 miles east of Quebec. Police Chief Edouard Theriault Said the single-span bridge, rest- ing on abutment: at the extrem- ities. collapsed in one piece with the 50-ton load on it. It was smashed in the fall. The construction equipment. property of the Quebec construc- tion flrm of Mlchaud and Simard. Limited. appears to be intact and salvage will probably be attempt- ed later. A Public Works Department en- gincer arrived late today for an inspection of the twisted wreck- age. The bridge was closed to traf- fic for repairs last spring. Mayor Gerard Lapointe said the bridge was old and the Provincial Gov- ernment had planned to build a new one next year. Residents of the district said that 41 short while before the big truck crossed the bridge. the reg- ular Rimouski-Queboc City auto- bua passed there with a good number of passengers. Traffic to Lower St. Lawrence points east of Riviera Du Loup has been detoured to another bridge about a mile south of Riv- iere Du Loup. is expected the iDepart- merit of Public Works will build a temporary bridge pending the construction of a new permanent structure on the emplacement of the wrecked bridge. - Queen Mary Suffering From Slight Cold LONDON.

Dec. 5 m(CP) -- A railway freight-rate expert said today he believes exclusion of the Maritimes from equalization sect- ions of the Federal Governmentls new freight-rate legislation will result in the special Maritime rate applying right across Canada. J. L. Knowles. special adviser to Transport Minister Chevricr. told the Senate's transport committee that this was the view of some lawyers. He added. however. that the mater was subject to further legal interpretation. ). W. .7. Matthews. legal counsel for the Departmen of Transport, immediately challenged Mr. Knowles' statement. He said it was his interpretation that exclusion of the Mariimes from equalization of rates, would simply mean they would continue to enjoy their special rate to Levis, Quc., as at present. Beyond Levis westbound Maritime traffic would carry the equalized rate. He admitted. owevcr. that it was a. matter tb t might wcllwind up in the courts for interpretat- ion. The conflicting statements liv- cued discussion and led senator Thomas Rcid (L-British Colum- bia) to remark to his fellow sen- ators that they should i "Watch this bill, boys." The committee instructed its tparliamcntary counsel to hold .a week-end conference- with other legal advisers and Maritime rep- resentatives to in-tcrpret. the amendment undcr which the Mar- itlmes are excluded from the log- islaiion.

Opposition Attempts To Legislation OTTAWA. Dec. 5 -(cpl --Op- position members, supported by a lone government adherent. today urged the parliamentary commit- tee on resale price maintenance to slow down consideration of gov- ernment legislation to ban retail price-fixing. 'Iihey introduced four motions aimed at slowing the proceedings of the committee, which has de- cided to bring thehearing of wit- nesses to an end tomorrow and then consider recommendations on the propsed legislation. All four motions were defeated. Opposition members charged that the committee was "unduly rushing" legislation. E. D. Fulton (PC-Kamloops), Ross Thatcher (COIL-Moose Jaw) and Roland Beaudry ti.-Montreal St. James) were in the forefront of the fight. Later, the committee heard a brief from the Canadian Zlewellers Association which supported re- sale price maintenance as "a basic right of the individual man- uiaeturer." Mr. Beaudry renewed the fight he began yesterday for more time in which to question Fred Mc- Gregor, former combines commis- sioner. who ended his testimony yesterday. His motion "that Mr. Mccregor be recalled was defeat- ed 16 to ll. Mr. Bcaudry contended he had not had an opportunity to quest- ion Mr. Mccvrcgor after reading the brief he had presented earlier this week. Committee chairman James sin- ciair (L-Coast-Capiiano) held that Mr. Beaudry had questioned Mr. Mccregor for 25 minutes. des- pite a committee-imposed limit of 10 minutes. lie had asked three questions which neithcr the wit- ness. nor most of the committee. understood. Mr. Beaudry later moved that the committee report that. because of lack of time. it had no suf- ficient grounds for agreeing or dissenting with the report of the MacQuarrie Commission. which had recommended the legislation. That motion. 'too. was defeated. 19 to 8. Mr. Thacher. suggesting the committee was moving with "un- due haste." said it would be "foolish for us to rush this thing through within the next few days.” He introduced a motion aimed at carrying the committees delib- erations into the 1952 session of parliament. but saw it. defeated on a vocal vote. iasl liilrabilanl Of B.

An Air Force communique said all Allied planes returned safely without damage. although "Mtg alley" swarmed with 230 or more of the swift Russian-built jets. It was the greatest sustained series of air clashes of the Korean war and underscored the rising tempo of the air war. The action over Northwest Kor- ea contrasted sharply with the fad- lng "twilight war" along the 145- mile battle line. only slight con- tact was reported Wednesday by the United States Eighth Army. Air fighting became so dom- inant in the new war pattern that orders were given to United Nations infantrymen Wednesday to "dig in" against possible Communist air at- tacks. An unidentified plane attacked a U. N. position on the western front two days ago. (A Washington report said the navy Twas tightening its guard against possible Red air attacks on Allied surface ships over Northeast Korea.) ' . Avoid U. S.

Speaking at the regular monthly business meeting of the Char- lottetown Board of Trade on the question of immigration with par- ticular referencc to agricultural needs. the Premier said that the majority of the immigrants are totally unsuitable for the type of farm work as practised on the Is- land, and it is questionable if they are suitable for farm work at all He urged that greater attention be paid to halting the exodus of rural youth.
