He has led the party since 1948. when he succeeded former prime minister M ie King. "in the light of the medical ad- vice that I have now received," said the announcement issued from his parliamentary office. "I have come to the conclusion that I no longer have the vigor and energy required to lead the party through a general election cam- paign." The statement climaxed weeks of sporadic speculation. denied by him only this week. that he in- tended to quit before another ele tion. The Liberals under Mr. St. Laurent's leadership had suffered a reduction in Commons strength in the June 10 general election- emerglng with 105 seats. com- pared with the lliil they had be- forehand. The Progressive Con- serv ' . on the other hand, boosted their repr t than to 112 members from 50 in the 365- aeat Commons, and Mr. St. Laur- ent resigned June 11 to make way gtrk new Prime Minister Diefen- a er.

I. . . . R could not reach agreement. No date was set for another meeting. The talks were adjourned in a strange tmosphere of both acri- money and friendliness that ap- peared to leave some hope for future consultations.

But they agreed unanimously the problem of cutting military forces and their weapons now should be aired in debate at the General Fighting Flares Anew In Cuba HAVANA.

Occasional references continued throughout the summer on the DI sibility of retirement. only last weekend an inform- ant in close touch with political Ottawa said categorically that he expected Mr. St. Laurent to re- tire "within the next few days and certainly before the royal visit.” The Queen is to reach Ot- tawa Oct. 12, to open the first session of the 23rd Parlia- ment two days later. That in- formant said the June election made the former prime minister heartsick. By turning him out of office. he said, the election result had made unemployed a man whose entire career had been one of ing much to do, and much re- sponsibility. the former prime minist was said to be dispir- ited at having what be consid- ered to be the less-exacting role of opposition chief. The outlook was the bletsker in that it was late for Mr. St. Laur- ent. at 75. to think of returning to his Quebec City law practice. Plerhaps he would write his mem- o rs.

There were up- wards of one hundred cars on the Souris breakwater as the Harry G came into the harbor. The Johnstons and Hennessey left Clearsprings at 2.30 on Thurs- day in a small dory to go fish- ing. They were propelling the craft with a couple of canoe Dad- the Clearsprings man had lefl.dlcs. Ciearsprinlzs by small dory all 2:30 on Thursday afternoon andlasho,-e an intensive search had been carried on for them by land and sea through the night and all through the forenoon. LIGHTLY CLAD The rescued trio had been at sea for some twenty - two and one - half hours and all of them had suffered severely from ex- posure through the long cold hours of darkness. Mrs. Johnston had only a bathing suit on her when the tiny dory put out from Clearsprlngs. She did not even have any shoes. Her husband gave her his short rubbcrboote and he himsel' was in his sock feet as he battled the elements. Mr. Hcnnessey gave Mrs. John- atone his plaid shirt or jacket and that left him with only a thin shirt. The dory had drifted an esti- mated sixty - five miles before it was plucked out of the sea by the Harry G. It drifted north some fifteen miles and when the wind changed the boat drifted eastward some fifty miles. Captain Griffin had only a few fish in his dragger, the Harry G. when he came in to Souris yes- terday. He came in because his nets had been badly torn by a shark and he wanted to repair them. While at Souris he learned "1 the-senrelt being organized to find the missing trio and he put to sea with two crew mcmbc s and himself. He left the other two ashore mending the nets. ANOTHER lo MILES When he was some twenty miles off East Point he contacted by two - way radio the fsiheries patrol boat "Arcadia" which had previously alerted every drag- ger in the gulf to be on the look- out for the missing boat. The Arcadia suggested to Capt. Grif- fin that since he had found no trace of the boat after twenty miles he had better give up the search and return to shore. However he decided that he would continue to search for an- other ten miles. After travelling five miles on the same course he came upon the missing boat and took both the boat and its occupants aboard his dragger. That was about one oiclock. He docked at Souris at 5:30 after battling head winds and heavy and twtrpenny stamps of 1840. seas all the wtty. and was met by a large crowd that gave him When they prepared to so a short time later they learned to their dismay that after they had been work- lug for fifteen to twenty minutes. they were only holding their own against the wind and tides, and were making no progress at all. After more than an hour of this and with no sign of help from shore, both men were ex- hausted. They decided to stop paadling and all three persons sat in the bottom of the dory. Mr. Johnston told the Guard- lan at Souris that the dory went out to sea as though it was be- ing drlven by an engine. The strong Southeast wind and the heavy tide were carrying it along at a rapid rate. At one am. Friday morning they were apparently between North Lake and East Point. They could see what they thought was East Point light. BALI.-ID WITH BOOT At 2 a.m. the seas became very rough and the tiny dory be- gan to take in water. They had nothing to bale with, but James Hennessey was resourceful and took off one of his size thirteen rubber boots and started baling with it. The two men took turns ballng the water. About daylight the seas abated and the man did not have to bail ontinuously. in the meantime on shore an intensive search was continuing. A plane had gone out from the R.C.A.F. station at Summerside. One had also left Halifax but it had to return owing to engine trouble The people in the dory saw the Summerside plane over- head but the plane did not spot (Continued on page 1 col. 4) WOULD CHANGE SIDES ALGIERS (AP)-An Algerian rebel chief known as General Be- lounis has been negotiating the shift of himself and his 3.000 mounted troops to the French side of the Algerian rebellion. it was learned Friday.
