The Communists also renewed a proposal for talks with the Na- tionalists “to effect a peaceful settlement." The order to suspend shelling came from Communist Defence Minister Peng Teh—huai. It dates from today, the New China News Agency said in a Peiping dis- patch. He announced his decision in a message to “compatriots in Tai- wan (Formosa)" at 1 a.m. local time today. The minister said: “Out of hu- manitarian considerations I have ordered the bombardment to be suspended on the Fukien front for seven days starting from Oct. 6. “Within this period, they will be fully free to ship in supplies on condifion that there be no American escort.” The minister added “we pro- pose that talks be held in effect a peaceful settlemen ” on the war which he said had been go- ing on “between you and us” for 30 years.” Peng said: “We are all Chinese.

The president checked out 'of Walter Reed Army Hospital on completion of his annual physical examination and, hustled straight to Burning Tree Club in nearby Maryland for a round of golf. The official report on the medi- cal examination of Eisenhower, whOse birthday is Oct. 14, was unusually terse. In contrast to previous bulletins in similar cir- cumstances, it provided no detail. The report said: “Thle president underwent a complete physical examination, which included barium studies of the gastrointestinal tract and ap- propriate laboratory tests, at Walter Reed Army Hospital on Oct. 3-4, 1958. “The results of these all-inclu- sive studies show that the presi- dent continues to maintain an ex- cellent state of health.” The bulletin was issued at the White House.

C. A. Dunning MONTREAL (CPL-Leaders in many walks of life today paid final tribute to Hon. Charles Avery Dunning at a funeral serv- ice in Erskine and American United Church. The man who twice served as federal minister of finance and was widely known in business died in hospital late Wednesday night. He was 73. Among those at the services were Postmaster General William Hamilton, representing the fed- eral government, a nd Mayor Sarto Fournier of Montreal. Mr. Dunning was a director of many of Canada’s leading corpor- ations and was also chairman of the board of directors of Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. Before entering federal politics in the Liberal gov- ernment of the late Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King he served as premier of Saskatchewan. The funeral service was con- ducted by Rev. N. M.

BOAC had its giant new jet transports winging each way be- tween New York and London within a few hours after all red tape was cleared to permit such flights. The eastbound Comet, Bravo, averaged 580 miles an hour with a top speed of 640 miles an hour non-stop to London. Thus, in effect, the world shrunk another 40 per cent for civilian travellers. Regular flight time from New York to London is expected to average about 61/.» hours b, jet. Piston-engined craft take about 11% hours. The westward trip will take a little longer because of head- winds. But the jets will make this, too, about 40 per cent faster than other craft. PRAISE TOM PM I The flights were praised by Prime Minister Macmillan in con- gratulatory messages to BOAC and de Ilavilland. “The whole na- tion takes pride in the fact that a British aircraft has led the world into the new turbo-jet age,” Macmillan said. ' , The jetliners are equipped to carry 48 passengers and fares will be the same as first class and de- luxe fares on ordinary planes. Pan American plan-s its London New York service to begin Nov. 16. Even after BOAC made plain it was going to stage a much faster hopoff, Pan American said it was still sticking to its original plans.
