The one-eyed British soldier -who smashed Marshal Rodolfo Graz- iani's Italian army in North Africa in the dark days of i940 and 194i and won grudging German admir- ation, underwent o. severe abdom- inal operation on his 87th birth- day. May 5. He long had suffered from jaundice. Recalled by the Labor Govern- ment from his past us Viceroy in India early in l94'l because he dis- agreed with the policy of giving India immediate independence, Lord Waveli spent the last years of his life indulging a. taste for music and poetry. He edited an anthology of verse; "Other Men's Flowers" which was generally acclaimed. Politically. he fcultht in thel House of Lords for irnpraved pensions for British vet- erans of the Indian service. As Gen. Sir Archibald P Wavell he commanded the British and Australian army of "Desert Rats" in North Africa when Allied for- tunes elsewhere were at their low- est ebb after the fall of France. the Balkans and Greece.

A sports program complete with road races. in baseball game. golf tournament and fishing rounded out the almost weather perfect day. For some of the City people it afforded an excellent opportunity to open up and move out to summer cottages. A few youngsters made it more summerlike by tak- ing a short clip in waters around Victoria Park. A 21 g-un salute was fired at noon from Victoria Park by the 14th Battery of the 28th L A. A. There were no high-way accid- ents reported to mar the celebra- tions despite heavy traffic in some sections.

There was also a big turnout for the sea- sonls opening baseball K3-me in Summerside in see the Curran and Briggs nine battle with the 3.0.- A.F. squad. The first golf tournament of the season saw many of the golfing addicts punishing the ball at the Belvedere links while the favorite fishing spots were well populated with fly and ball. casters.

May 24 (AP) - Trained child battalions higii-step- pcd today through a. light rain and formally opened East Germ- anyls five-day Communist youth rally. Ten thousand Young Pioneers. the lowest age bracket of the Free Communist Youth iF.D.J.), -were given the honor of marching into Thaelmann Stadium and raising the flag on Sunday's rally dedic- ated to love of Stalin. A cloudy sky helped these babies of German Communism, ranging in ages from six to 14. endure the marching and three hours of stand- ing at attention. Nevertheless sev-, cral dozen of the smaller ones cai- lapsed and needed the aid of nurses. New Freight Slowdown Meanwhile. East German inspec- tors clamped a new freight traffic slowdown on Beriinls lifeline high- way to the west. Only four trucks an hour -were allowed to pass their check point and a line of 120 tniclrs formed at the zonal barrier. A fleet of 30 British, United States and French military po- lice jeeps began patrolling the 100-mile highway through the soviet zone with orders to tol- erate no Gcrman police attempts to detour traffic. If Soviet troops enforced the detour, however. the patrols had or- ders t.o submit under protest. German police had ordered a 36- mile detour beginning tomorrow to allow the unrestricted movement of Communist youth convoys to Berlin. Eastern railroad stations dis- gorged thousands of F.D.J. mem- bers during the day. The Pioneers will be part of sundayls giant parade when E.- D.J. leaders said they will mass 500.000-marchers. The young pioneers marched to music of a police band in review before President Wilhelm Pieck, East Germany's apostle of Com- munism. and Soviet Ambassador Geogori M. Pushkin. Protest Delay British authorities, meanwhile, formally protested to the Russians over a hold-up of more than 60 barges, some for periods of more than two weeks. at the Soviet-zone control point at Wittenberg on the Elbe. East German authorities have at- tributed the delay to the I ecessity of inspecting the cargoes. In another development. Ger- many's Communist Party tonight described the East German "Peo- Dle's Police" as an "integral part of the democratic order." It was the first East German comment on yesterday's notes from the three Western Powers to the soviet Union. protesting at the military- like character of the police force. The party press service said the notes were sent "in order to con- ceal the revival of a West-German Fascist army under American command." WRITER-I)lRECTO1It-D IE5 HOLLYWOOD.
