The Guardian now has, a circulation of over 13,- 000 Action is I Reversal Earlier Vote WASHINGTON, April 2 - (AP) -The Senate over-rode adminis- tration leaders today and went on record against sending more than four more divisions of Am- erican ground troops to Europe without congressional approval. 'By a. 49-to-48 vote. it adopted a limiting amendment by Senator John Mt-Lellan (Dem. Ark.) and wrote it into a controversial troops-for-Europe resolution. Administration leaders thought they had' disposed of the Me- Lellan amendment two hours ear- lier when the Senate voted 46- to--M to reject it. But on a surprise motion to re- consider the action. the Senate voted 4940-43 to revive the amend- ment and bring it before the cham- ber again. McLcllan's amendment varied only slightly from the wording of the pending Senate resolution. which approved President Tru- manls plan to send four divisions to join the international defence force being raised under the command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Previously the -Senate defeated, 62-to-27, an amendment by Sena- ior Francis Case (Rep. S.D.) which would have forbidden the service of any American soldier under 20 years old in the North Atlantic defence force. it also wrote into the resolu- tion an amendment by Senator Arthur Watkins (Rep. Utah) call- ing for elimination of provisions in the Italian peace treaty limit-A ing that country's military strengt.h.' At start"of the session, admin- istration leaders blocked a move by Senator Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, Republican floor lead- er. to” change the nature of the resolutions so that they would become law if passed by congress. At present the measures are not legally binding on the President. Warns .. Against Danger Of State Paternalism Jamaica. British Guiana Proiesl KINGSTON. Jamaica.

A ril 2 - (OP) - Eight white-fa d orphans stood silent tonight as police told an incredible story; of how their father matched a crutch from a crippled child. beat their mother over the head, killed her with a shotgun. and then drowned himself. R..C.M.P. pieced the story gather from statements by the children and eyewitnesses who saw the last few minutes of the drama at this hamlet on Cape Sable Island. off Nova Scotia's southwest coast. They said Duncan Ross. 55-year old fisherman. became embroiled in a vicious family quarrel after dinner Sunday. Its cause was not clear. I-le seized a crutch from one of his children. a cripple, and gave his 38-year-old wife what they described as a "terrible" beating. He also attacked his 20-year-old to- son Forrest, the children said. Mrs. Ross escaped to s bed- room and locked herself in. The enraged man then attacked a daughter, Cassie. who also re- ceived several blows before es- caping to seek aid. When Ross found his wife's door locked. police said he grab- bed a shotgun and fired twice into the room. He then turned the gun on himself. and sent a blast through his shoulder. The children said Ross then threw the weapon from him and began to race for the wharves. about one-quarter of a mile away. By that time neighbors in the district of some 400 were arriv- ing on the scene but he "shook off everyone in his path.” Reaching the shore. he climbed into a small row boat. Deftly. he rowed about 200 yards from shore and plunged over the side before the eyes of more than a score of villagers. His body was recovered today. P.E.l. Doctors To Specializ in Cancer Control Coursese island M.P.'s To Participate in Election campaign OTTAWA, April 2--(Special) - Scsrcely had they settled down in Ottawa after the Easter recess but Prince Edward Island mem- bers of the Commons today plan- ned' to pack again and revisit the Province for the forthcoming Provincial election campaign. Watson MacNaught, parliamen- tary assistant to Fisheries Min- ister Mayhew and Liberal mem- ber for Prince, was optimistic over the election outcome. To- day he predicted that the Liberal Party under Premier Jones would be returned to power with on increased majority. Mr. MacNaughi: said he had been asked to visit Prince County during the Provincial campaign and was glad to accept and to urge the public to return the Jones Government to power. W. Chester 5. McLure. Pro- gressive Conservatlve member for Queen's said that he too had ac- cepted an invitation to return to Queen's County and Charlotte- town during the electoral cam- paign. it was a "shrewd stroke" on the part of the Premier to spring a snap election on the Provlnce, he added. but said that R keen Opposition is not easily caught napping. Mr. McLure intimated that Federal as well as Provincial is- sues will be discussed on the hustings. This was inevitable. he said. since Federal and Provin- cial matters in Prince Edward island are so closely intertwined. "This election." he told. The Guardian, "will give odr people a chance to say what they think of a Government policy whereby the potato-grower of Prince Ed- ward Island is forced into bank- ruptcy when the grsln-grower of the-West gets a bonus of 565.0(1).- OOO.

For the second straight day. MacArthur's communique made pointed reference to the Red massing movements. These were concentrated on the central front. where a.

The communique said: "The enemy is engaged in a tactical and strategic regrouping of major units which. with the appearance of new units near the front. provide him with a poten- tial strength of at least 63 divisions. the greatest of any period in the Korean campaign. "Compensating factors are the vulnerability of his communica- tions and his limited logistic cap- acity." Ground action was limited large- ly to patrols. American tank patrols ranged Monday almost two miles north of the 38th parallel. They fought off an hour-long Red ambush. and withdrew.

Eisenhower formally tort command of his scattered and under-armed Atlantic Treaty divisions today, and admitted there are some headaches in get- ting them ready to defend Eur- OPQ. But he told in press conference that. considering the magnitude of the problems. all is going well. nsenhower said his organization was to "preserve peace" and "help provide an umbrella" over the in- dividual security of the 12 nat- ions in the undertaking. The announcement that he has taken over ccnunsnd is a formal- ity in keeping with the old milit- ary tradition by which a new commander issues "general order Eisenhower Takes Over Command In Europe ers. .. By this general order. he took over command of West Europe's defences at exactly one minute af- ter midnight. To most Europeans. today's formality had a special signif- icance. Through it. all European divisions and naval units turned over to the North Atlantic Treaty organization come under Eisen- hower's guiding hand. This in- cludos not only defence operat- ions but training and supply. The General indicated that. al- though his responsibility did not extend to the defence of the Mid- dle East. it was a matter of ex- treme importance to him. He said there is no present indication that the troops inad- available to him would. not get Federal Minimum Payment F or Potatoes Guaranteed OTTAWA. April 2 -(OP) - A minimum price of 22 cents a. bushel has been guaranteed by the Federal Government to help eastern potato growers dispose of 1.000000 bushels of surplus tubers. it was learned today. The guarantee was made at a week-end conference between Fed- eral officials and officials repre- senting New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island potato grow- ers and an official announcement i-. expected to be made here with- in the next few days. . The potatoes will be disposed of through a special co-operative marketing board to be set jointly by N. B. and P. E. I. growers. Most of the surplus is expected to be taken up by eastern starch factories. The agreement covers potatoes which, under current circum- stances. normally would have gone unsold and likely rotted on the farms. Starch-producing compan- lcs are paying about 20 cents a bushel or less for Maritime pota- toes. If, for example. the ponies decided they could use the sur- plus at say 18 fr 20 cents a bushel, the government would make up the difference between the com- pany's price and the guaranteed minimum. (Commenting on the above des- patch Mr. E. D. Reid. manager of Provincial Potato Board, stated that the initial minimum payment would be 22 cents. The Provincial Government with the co-operation of the Dominion Government will pay an additionsl22 cents to bring the total payment to the farmers up to 44 cents a bushel. he stated. (The price will he brought up to 44 cents to coincide with 'the minimum table stock level. Should” .the minimum level fall below 44 cents. which is unlikely. the Gov- ernment support will also fall by a similar amount.) b its EASY 0 GET sI0E1'nAct(t: on A (RAIN or riitoticit-if ,' TORONTO.
