LONDON, Jan. ll——(CP)-—Britain tonllht broke d relations with Chlang Kai-Shela’: Chinese Na- tionalist Government, Reuters new: agency quoted. a reiia-ble source u saying, and Britain's recognition of the Chinese Com- munist Government at. Peivping is expected to follow automatically. Britain would be the fourth non-Communist power to recog- nize the Chinese Communists. Tlt: otlhers are Burma, India and Pakistan. Diplomatic sources said tonight that the Commonwealth Govern- ments and the United States have already been informed of Britain's decision in recognize the Reds. The sources added that word of the recognition now is on its way from London to Peiping. And that the official announcement will be made when confirmation is received that the note has reached the Red Government. Britain has substantial trade and other interests in China, but some officials have sought to discount this factor. They say nothing would be gained "by boycotting indefinitely a government ruling over a vast territory and popula- lion." News of the breaking off of re- lations with the Nationalists came after Dr. Cheng Tien-Hri, Chin- ese Nationalist Ambassador, cal- led at the Foreign Office. The dapper diplomat told s re- porter: "l can't say anything tonight about what they tell me out of courtesy to the Foreign Office, 7 will make a statement tomorrmv." l-le conferred with Stale Minister Hector McNeil, who is acting head of the Foreign Office during the absence of Foreign Secretary Be- vin.

Jan. 5 -- (CPi --Im- mediate recognition of the Chin- ese Communists by the United Kingdom would cause no great surprise in official Ottawa circles and would not change Canada's decision to withhold action at least until after the Colombo Com- monwealth conference. it was in- dicated tonight.

Speaking to workers. students and youths who visited him at his villa in Cairo. Nahas Pasha said: “The party is returning to power after five full years of fighting opposition, struggling against in- justice by the Saadist-Llberal Coalition Government, and against actions externally and internally harmful to Egyptian interests. "The Wafd will devote its ‘ef- forts to continuous reform through- out the country for the benefit of all citizens, to having students, Expert Forecasts Second Russian Atomic Blast LONDON, Jan. 5 -— (AP) —Ed- iior Kenneth De Courcy says Y0" can look for a second Russian atomic explosion next Saturday night, Jan. 7. Specifically, at midnight. Green- lVlCll mean time. That's 8 pm. AST or 2 a.m. Sunday, Moscow time. De Courcy is the man who pre- dicted last. January that Russia would attempt an atomig explos- ion in 1949. He said in a statement today tihz: the second explosion will be _ set of-f in blasting for an Asiaticurri- gaiion project unless there l5 a technical hitch, in which oasc "the Russian general staff plans are to ‘have the postponed experi- ment on Jan. 10." De Courcy is editor of the Monthly Intelligence Digest,.a private information service. A man of 40 with an extensive back- ground in international intelli- gence, he claims information from highly-placed informants in sev- cral Eastern European countries. Enough Bombs For War The Atomic Scientists Associa- tion of Britain also issued a de- claration today on Russia's atomic position. It said the Russians will have enough bombs in a year or two to fight an atomic war. There will be no immediate check on a new explosion unless the Russians choose to announce it. which is unlikely. De Conroy's Digest Sept. l con- tained the news that Russia had made an atomic bomb. This was 23 days before President Truman announced there had been an atomic explosion in Russia. President Truman said in Wash- ington today he does not. knmv when the Russians will produce another atomic explosion. Commenting on De Courcy's new prediction. he said he had no ad- vance notice of the first blast and has no advance information wheth- cr another is to take place. For Irrigation Project De Courcy said the explosion “will be of an unusual kind b:- cause it will be connected with a blasting operation in connection with an irrigation project." American scientists question the value of atomic power for blasting work. Their view is that TNT will handle such jobs more effici- ently and cheaply. and without the deadly after-affects of radio- activity. Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky of Russia became in- volved at the United Nations in a Air traffic was halted. Several rivers still were tonight in Illinois and as the aftermath of rains. Vincennes, Ind. a city of 18.000, was endangered by a. weakened flood wall. Mayor William L.

The White River also was rising in that state. Two Indiana cities, Newport and Clint/on. were threatened with ev- acuation because of flood waters. Cayuga, Ind., was isolated by backwaters of the Big Vermilion and Wabash Rivers which con- verge on that city. Severe cold persisted in the northern plains states.

The Atomic Scientists Associa- tion of Britain based its forecast of Russia's prospects for a war- sized atom-bomb pile in 1952 on statements by United States scien- fists. "Hence. in s war in which atom bombs are used at all." said the Association's monthly bulletin. “they will be used by both sidns.

Colder Weather in Maritimes HALIFAX, Jan. 5 - (CP) -- Temperatures skidded almost 40 degrees to the low 20s in most Maritime centres tonight to mark the end of the false spring after another day of record-breaking highs. The Weather Bureau here said the change, which brought to an end the Marltirnes’ fourth mild .. ..,....,.,.d spell in l5 days. would be from "springlikc to mild weather." _ Light sncuvflurries were fore- cast for many areas but. there was no sign of heavy snow. The ab- sence of snow and the unseason- able temperatures have hampered lumbering operations, caused store owners to reduce prices of winter clothing to sell surpluses and left many new skates and sleds un- tried. Tho mercury at Halifax and Charlottetown rose to 57 and 53 degrees, all-time highs for Jan- uary. Haiifaxfis old mark of 56.9 was set Jan. 14, 1932, and Char- lottetowns was 52, reached Jan. 1. 1945.

BOMAR WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 -_ (AP) - President Truman, in a major policy declaration which stirred furious dispute in Congress, today refused to intervene to save For- imtrlsa from the Chinese Commun- ss. He served notice that the Un- lied States Government intends to stay clear of the upheaval which has but. much of Chins into the Communist hands. No military aid, or even military advice. will be given to the Nationalists on For- mosa. he said. "The United States Government will not pursue a course which will lead to involvement in the civil conflict in China." he said. The President's statement, is- sued at his press conference, ap- parently knocked the last. prop of hope from under the culling Kat. Shek regime, It has been seeking to convert the big island off China's coast from which, perhaps, to make an eventual comeback. Gloomy Day for Chlang It was a gloomy day for the Na- tionalists. Word came from 1.011. don that Britain has broken off relations with Cblangls Govern. ment‘ and will recognize the chi- nese Communist regime. State secretary Acheson made it plain that the United States would be in no hurry to follow the Brit- ish example. Any question of rec- ognizlng the Chinese Communists is premature at this time, he said at a press conference, President Truman's statement drew caustic criticism from Repub- licans who have been demanding Hid lo Formosa, but applause from Democrats [who said intervention "might start a third world war. In his statement, Truman said pmphn tically: l. The United States’ has no intention of using armed forces to interfere in the situation. 2. His Government will pro- vide neither military aid nor advice to the Nationalists on Formosa, who have "adequate" resources to obtain the defence items they consider needed, 3. "Having no predatory de- signs" on Formosa or any other Chinese territory, the United States has no desire to obtain special rights or privileges or to establish military bases on the island “at this time."

Fisheries Research Board Reveals Latest Findings OTTAWA. Dec. 5 - (OP) - A species of shrimp not recorded in, British Columbia waters since 1888‘ was caught in Howe Sound lastl summer. The rare catch was dlflclosod to- day before the annual meeting of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. A specimen of splrontocaris macrophthalma, the shrimp was taken by the shrimper Seven Seas II fishing in Howe Sound. near, Britannia Beach, between 60 and '75 fathoms. The only previous recorded B. C. catch of this species was mndc 61 years ago off Cape Scott in 204A fathoms of water, This species of marine life dif- fered from the host". of others dis- cussed at today's meeting of the board in that it is not. commercially important. Reports Presented Members of the board, attend- lllg from stations all across Can- ada. heard reports on East and West. coast; experimental work. Dr. Wilfred Tem-pleman, tiircct- or of the Newfoundland Fisheries Elvlflgicfll Station, told the Board that the volume of Newfo-undlands cod fishery can he greatly increas. ed by devoting more attention to fishing on the Grand Banks, the world's greatest single source of groundfish, Dr. A. W. H. Needler, director of the Atlantic Station at St. An- drews, N. 15., said bird control mes,- sures developed there promise to be a major contribution to tech- flliillef» 0f salmon production. Dr. Needler, who is also Fed. eral Deputy Assistant Fisheries Minister, described an experiment conducted on the Pollett River. a tributary of the Petitcodlac in New Brunswick. Investigations there intimated that Dredatbry birds. Especially mergansers, kept smelt production from hatchery stock at a 10w level. Mcrgansers and kingfishers were Temflvflfl 1mm a IO-mile stretch of the Pollett River, resulting in pro- duction of about 20,000 smolts from a planting of about 273.000 fry. ‘This was a. five-fold increase over production from similar plantings without bird control. An even greater sniolt run is predicted for 1950 on the basis of estimates of the number of s31. mon part present in 1949. New Railway Car Dr. Neal M. Carter. director of the Pacific Fisheries Experimental Station at Vancouver, said his unit has been chiefly concernedi with development of I l-ailway car which runs bot or mid just. by the turning oi a switch. He said tests have shown the car is fully capable of producing tcm- pcratures lc\v enough to carry fish at a high quality level in long hauls to inland Canadian markets. The Research Board is also keeping close watch on commer- cial experiments into the possibil- ities of using dry-ice as a. relrig- ‘ crant for railway refrigerator cars, Carter said. Dry-ice may prove n suitable refrigerant for transport.- ation of fozcn fish at. zero temper- atures or lower, provided adequate control can be achieved and cost and availability of the refrigerant can be made economical at point of shipping and en route.

Doctor Accused of-Mercy Death Freed On Bail ‘ By James Calogero MANCHESTER, N. l-l., Jan. 5 — (AP) —- A haggard country doctor was sot at liberty today under $25.- l _ln R_ome, 000 bail — an unprecedented cour‘. ‘ procedure~nfter pleading innocent to a charge of first-degree murder in an nllcgcd “mercy” slaying of a dying cancer patient. New Hampshire legal authorities were unable to name any previous defendant in a capital case grant- ‘ed similar release. Only three minutes were rc- qulred to arraign the accused physician. Dr. Hermann N.

Dr. Sander. littlc known beyond the circle of his general practice before the death of Mrs. Rorroto Dcc. 4. had become an interna- tional figure when call~d before the bru- of justice. New Hampshire provides the hangmanis noose or life imprison- ment for first-degree murder.
