CANADA MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1958 By WILLIAM L. RYAN VATICAN CITY (APl—The 51 cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church present ballotted four times Sunday without electing a pope. A mixulp in smoke signals made it appear for about half an hour that Pius XIlI’s successor had been chosen. For a time Z0000 Romans and tourists in huge St. Peter’s Square were certain the church had a new pontiff. Millions of others ' "o listened to radios throughout Italy and Europe also were certain. They heard the Vatican Radio speaker shout exulltantlly: “A pope is elected." The scene around the Vatican was one' of incredible confusion. White smoke from a little chim- ney atop the Vatican is the tra- ditional signal announcing the election of a new pope. Black smoke indicates failure. Twice during the day smoke billowed from the slender chim- ney for a full five minutes. For all the outside world knew, a new pontiff had been chosen. Clouds of the smoke were caught in searchlights trained on the Sistine Chapel chimney. “Bianco! B i a n c o!" roared many in the crowd. White, white. OFFICIALS MIst The Vatican Radio announced the smoke was white. Even high Vatican officials were fooled. Cal- lori de Vignale, governor of the oonclave, and Sigismondo Chigi. the oonclave marshal, hurried to take up the positions assigned to them. The Palatine guard was called them its barracks and or- dered to prepare to go to St. Peter’s for announcement of the new pope’s name. But the guard was ordered back to barracks be- fore it reached the square. Priests and o t h e r s working within the Vatican grounds saw the white smoke. They started to cheer. The crowd waited in an agony of suspense. Any pope elected would ordinarily appear on the balcony within 20 minutes. The crowd waited a full half hour, now wondering whether the smoke was meant to be black or white. Doubt set in swiftly. Many in 5-YEAR SENTENCE SAINT JOHN, N.

Prize-Winning MOSCOW (APl — Pravda heaped abuse on Russian writer Boris Pasternak Sunday and said he would reject the Nobel Prize awarded him if there were “a spark of Soviet dignity left in him.” The editorial in this official voice of the Soviet Communist party was written by well-known journalist David Zaslavsky who labelled the author of .the novel Doctor Zhivago—a best-seller in the West but unpublished in the Soviet Union - a “through and through bourgeois reactionary and through and through bourgeois in- tellectual." (Zaslavsky was once a bitter enemy of the Bolsheviks but was converted to Bolshevism after a term in a Soviet prison nearly 40 years ago. He now and then is BOIESTOWN, N.

SUMMERSIDE — The death of Mr. Martin Gallant of Urbain- ville. former member of the ment 1935-1947, occurred Satur- day in the Prince County Hos- pital here. He was 85 years old. Mr. Gallant was elected to the P.E.I. legislature in 1935 after being defeated as a candidate in 1927. He was appointed Minister without portfolio in the Liberal Lea Government and was re- elected in two successive elect- lons. Mr. Gallant was born in Rus- tico in 1873 the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arcade Gallant. He was educated at St. Augustus School, and St. Duns-tan’s College. He taught school for a number of years in the province and later became Inspector of all Acadian Schools from 1910 to 1922 and again from 1927-‘3‘1. As a member of the Legisla- ture for 12 years, Mr. Gallant was regarded as one of the pro- vince’s most authorative speak- ers on education matters. Although his speech-making was infrequent. his views were al- ways held in the greatest res- peot. Besides his wife, the former Mary Rose Arsenault, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John F.

ATOMIC TEST SITE, Nev. (AP) — Two full - scale nuclear blasts were set off Sunday and fonr other shots were scheduled as scientists raced to complete their current test series before Hallowe’en. Oct. 31 is the date proposed by President Eisenhower for a one- year Suspension of nuclear test- ing. Sunday's first detonation light- ed the crags of the Nevada des- ert with an eery glo' that might have come from some giant witch‘s cauldron. BOILED UP Boiling up $000 feet through the night sky, a sulphurousdook- ing fireball threw stark shadows for miles across the desert floor The sound and fury were felt seven miles away by observers Atomic Enengy Commission of- ficials called a meeting for later in the day to set the hour for a smaller shot today. Yanks Fire Two Alomic Blasls Two detonations are scheduled Tuesday and a real Whopper is on tap for Wednesday. One or two others may be fired before the Friday deadline if there is time. FIRED FROM BALLOONS Both of Sunday‘s devices were in the 10 - kiloton range. That means they had the force of ap- proximately 10,000 tons of TNT each. They were fired from bal- loons anchored at 1,50“ feet, the first over Frenchman Flat, the second over Yucca Flat. The AEC said Monday’s blast, code named Manama, would have a yield of less than one kiloton. It will be fired atop a 50-floot steel tower. Another 50-foot tower shot in the sub-kiloton range is scheduled for 8 am Tuesday. Two underground detonations, to be set ofif in tunnels in the side of a mesa, are due Tuesday and Wednesday.

NOT MORE TIIAN Commission Urges Closer Q Control Of Oil Industry VOTE AGAIN TODAY Cardinals Fail To Elec’r Pope On First 4 Ballo’rs By HAROLD MOCRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CPI — The Borden energy commission has urged that the Canadian oil and gas in- dustry be brought under closer federal scrutiny through the crea- tion of a national energy board with wide licensing and control powers. The commission, in a 50,000- word interim report made public Saturday by Prime Minister Dief- enbaker, also: 1. Recommended that the gov- ernment allow exports of natural gas “under licence” for periods no longer than 25 years. 2. Reached no decision on one of the most controversial issues before it—the building of an A1- berta—to - Montreal oil pipeline. This would be taken up in a sec- ond report, to be prepared later. RAPS PROFITS The six man commission, hitting out at some top gas pipe- line officials for making heavy profits, partly with the help of public money, also urged that the board of transport commissioners be forced to regulate pipeline tolls to keep these charges “fair and reasonable." It agreed Canada has plenty of oil and gas, sufficient to allow licensing of exports to the United States for fixed periods. But the commission, headed by lToronto lawyer Henry Borden, urged the administration to lg— ' nore the commitment of the previ- ous Liberal government to Trans- Canada Pipe Lines Limited to allow it to export gas surpluses to the US. at Emerson, Man. The request of this company, said the commision, should be treated on its merits. For one thing, the US. Federal Power had not yet ap- proved of unports, from Trans- eanada. And the mummy had not yet obtained permission from Alberta to draw off more gas to meet its heavier commitments. A group of Canadian compan- ies had appealed to the commis- sion to recommend construction of an Alberta-ttoMontreal oil pipe- line to offset American restric- tions on Canadian oil. But the commission indicated it had dif- ficulty reaching a conclusion. Until this was dealt with in a Light Low-high 30 - 50. FIVE CENTS Six-Man Group Hits Out At Profits On Pipeline second report, the commissim said. nothing in the first repor should be construed to indicate “by inference or otherwise, who our recommendations may ultim- ately be with respect to it." However, it did suggest that oil imports be placed under control of the proposed energy board. These proposing an Alberta—to- Montreal pipeline had suggested that imports had to be restricted if the pipeline was to obtain a big share of the Montreal manket now served by imports. The commission observed that Canada’s oil imports last year amounted to some $455,000,000. roughly eight per cent of imports of all products. It was time, if said, that the flow of this oil and the tolls and tariffs now be placed under import licensing control. FAST ACTION LIKELY Mr. Diefenbaker indicated to reporters that the government plans some fast action on some of the recommendations. He made clear the administra- tion was not bound to accept any of them, but said the cabinet al- ready has given the report pre- liminary study and plans to con- sider “what legislation should be introduced at the next session of Parliameu .” , “Some recommendations, I think, would demand early ac- tion.” The Liberal commitment to Trans-Canada was made in 1955 by former trade minister C. D. Howo in a letter saying that once the US. approved of Trans-Can- ada shipments to the American mid-west, the Canadian govern- ment would grant a 25-year ex- port permit covering 200,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily. URGE DELAY The , ’ ed that Trans-Canada's gas market was greater than the amount it had authority to remove from Al- berta’s fields. Until it received permission from Alberta to get these additional supplies, the fed- eral government should take no action.

It bears the names of 199 Cana- dians, most of them victims of the 1942 Dieppe raid. The Brockwood memorial, a cir- cular colonnade with 16 name- bearing pillars, stands on a green lawn, surrounded by the graves of more than 7,000 Commonwealth servicemen who died in both world wars. Facing it are the graves of 2,407 Canadians. Nearly 8,000 people, many of them relatives of the honored men, came to this tiny Surrey community to see the Queen have her soldiers remove the Common- wealth filags that draped down over the pillars and covered the Queen Unveils Memorial To Soldiers In Unknown Graves names. She spoke to them tron a covered dias. “This means more than name: written on a monument . . . Never think their sacrifice was in vain." Prince Philip stood behind the Queen in the blue unifiorm of a field marshal. The Duke of Glou- cester wore a similar uniform. Other members of the royal party wore the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Kent and Prin- cess Alexandra. With the completion of this memorial by the Imperial War Graves Commission, all 355,000 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Second World War now have a monument.
