Smollwood Is First To Cross Nfch. By Car ..PORT AUX BASQUES, leld. — (CP) ——- Premier Smallwood says the Transtlanada Highway across Newfoundland will be ready for regular traffic this time next year. perhaps earlier. He made this prediction after becoming the first man to drive an automobile across the pro- vince from St. John’s. He walked across Newfoundland 33 years ago. Mr. Sm‘allwood completed the 630-mlle Z‘é-day trip Sunday. He said it was the first time anyone had made the trip without the help of ferries. The Premier’s party travelled in four Land Rovers. British-made four—wheel- drive vehicles. Mr. Sniallwood was accompan- ied by members of his family and Highways Minister Power. Mr. Power said it had been “ex- citing” to be in the first car to cross Newfoundland “under its own steam." The Premier was 24 when he walked across the province in 1925. Unemployment Figures Confirm Liberal ' Views OTTAWA (CW—«Liberal Leader Pearson said Wednesday the latest unemployment figures “un- fortunately confirm the views that the Liberals have been ex- pressing about the seriousness of the situation." “They also confirm our criti- cism of the measures taken by the government to deal with it— too little and too late,” he added in an interview.

U.K. TroOps Kill Cypriot Terrorist NIOOSlA, Cyprus (Reuters I »— Bri-tish troops Wednesday killed a leading Greek Cypriot terrorist with two hand grenades after he shouted to them: “I will not come out alive." The troops trapped Kyriako: Matsis under the floor of a hung- alow where he was cornered with two other wanted terrorists. Matsis, 32-yaraold :righthand man of E OKA underground leader Col. Georgie Gnivas, was killed in the village of Dikomo, on the southern slopes of the Kyrenia mountains in northern Cyprus. LAST WORDS “I will not come out .alive," he yelled after his two companions ran out with their hands up. Those were his last words. The death of Matsis, an area commander and one of the most wanted terrorists in Cyprus, was considered the biggest prize for security forces this year in their campaign to stamp out EOKA, pledged to end British rule in Cyprus. Resort Hotel Is Destroyed QUEBEC (OP) — Fire of un- determined origin Wednesday night destroyed the Manolr St. Castin, fa m ed hotel at the summerlwinter Laurentian resort centre of Lac Beauport 15 miles north of Quebec City. No one was reported injured. The hotel was said to be in ashes, but further details were not im- mediately available. The hotel was the site of the second Pugwash conference this summer when scientists from Western and Communist coun- tries met to discuss world prob- lems in a politically-free atmos- phere. The conference was sponsored by Cyrus Eaton of Cleveland, Nova Scotialborn steel magnate. The hotel is a wooden structure overlooking Lac Beauport. PLUP MILL LIKELY SHUBENACADIE, N.S.

French Vote'SuncIay In First Election Of Fifth Republic By CLARE MoDEI’MOTT PARlIS (Reuters) France moved ap'atlhetically Wednesday toward its first general election under the Fifth Republic but there were signs of more action to come after Sunday‘s first round of bad- letting. The campaign so far has been dull and has aroused little inter- est. Only a small group of can- didates are expected to win seats on the first ballot Sunday, when a majority over all other candi- dates is required. With more than a dozen can. didates running in some constitu- encies, the chances of obtaining a majority are slim. SECOND STAGE VITAL Most interest is expected to centre on the period between Sun- day and Nov. 30, when the par- ties will regroup for the vital sec- ond round of voting. The party leaders have been making nightly local and national television and radio appeals. But an election rule preventing cab- inet ministers from campaigning outside the constituencies in which they are seeking election has left local candidates without star support. CHARLOTTETOWN, CANADA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1958 18 PAGES By ED MARKAITY CHARLEVOIX, Mich. (AP)— Thlrty-three men apparently per- ished but at least two survived the sinking in Lake Michigan of their big storm—smashed freighter Tuesday. The SIS-foot Carl D. Bradley went down ofif Gull Island in 300 feet of water at the head of the lake, her In aster frantically shouting into his radio for help as the big Sh‘lp broke up under him in gathering darkness. It seemed certain the sinking would rank among the Great Lakes‘ major tragedies of recent years. Veteran seamen ‘ expressed doubt anyone could have survived overnight in the cold, wind-driven waves. But at least two did and the freighter Transontario radi- oed the coast guard at 1:16 .p.m. it had picked up a body “and there may be some life in it.” DIES ON SHIP The ship asked that a doctor be sped to it by helicopter. But before a doctor could be sent, the Tr-ansontalrio radioed that the man, Gary Strzelecki of Rogers City, was dead. The US. Coast Guard con- firmed it had found 10 bodies. An unofficial tabulation kept on ship and aircraft radios in the search area indicated as many as 18 bodies had been located. First mate Elmer Fleming, 433, and deckzman Frank Mays, 26, were found alive on a raft off High Island, north and east of where the Bradley sank. Both were in good condition. The cutter Sundew, which took the two aboard, radioed that Fleming could recall no explos- ion and it was his belief heavy seas broke the ship apart. One of the first rescue craft to the scene Tuesday night reported evidence the Bradley had been split by an explosion, apparently as water reached her hot boilers. HOPE AND PRAY One of the bodies recovered was idchtified as that of Paul R. Horn, an alter. Lilke Fleming and Mays and 28 other crew members he was from the little Lake Huron port town of Rogers City, Mich. Residents there spent their time mostly praying and hoping Wednesday. The Sundew said it had two survivors and eight dead. A smaller 40-foot coast guard craft battled 30-mile winds and high seas and recovered two bodies. The Bradley was headed home empty in a gale from Buffington, Ind, when tragedy struck. Capt. Roland Bryan, a. native of Collingwood, Ont, sent Brad- ley Transportation Company, the ship’s owners, a routine message that he expected to arrive home in Rogers City by 2 am. Wed- nesday. SENDS OUT SOS Eleven minutes later—at 5:31 p.m.——Capt. Bryan was shouting into his radio: "Mayday, May- day, Mayday. This is the Carl D. Bradley. Our position is ap- proximately 12 miles southwest of Gull Island. We are in serious trouble.” In what was an apparent aside to his crew, the skipper was heard to say: “Run, grab life Calf Is 50ch For $30,000 TORONTO (OPl — A seven- week-old calif sold for $30,000 at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Wednesday. It was the highest price ever paid in the famed Sale of stars at this world‘s biggest indoor agricultural show. The Ontario Association of Ar- tificial Units, which will use the calf for breeding, made the rec- ord bid for Rosafe Citation R, a black and white holstein. Runner-up in the bidding was a syndicate of the departments of agriculture of New Brunswick, Nova S-cotia and Prince Edrward Island. The calf, with one of fanming’s top pedigrees, is the son of A B C Reflection Soverign. an all—Cana- dian champion for three straight years. who died two years ago, and Glenvue Nettle Jemima. a former all-Canadian champion COW.

THAN Party Within O’I'I‘AWLA .(CP) — The Liberals Wednesday ushered in a new team to run their national feder- ation, condemned the Conserva- tives on trade, unemployment and other issues and adopted blue prints for a widely-expanded or- ganization in attempts to bolster the party’s sagging fortunes. But while they sweated with or- ganizational plans, they got a strong warning from organized labor that the Liberals may have competition from a new party in a few years, a party that may be built out of a possible alliance among unions, farmers and the CCF. William Dodge. an executive vice - president of the 1,000,000- memlber Canadian Labor Con- gress, told the Lilberals‘ National Advisory Council that the con- gress is moving ahead with plans 0 develop a new political party 11 time for submission to the next onv-enttion in 1960. SPLIT INDICATED Mr. Dodge, repeated loser as CCF candidate in a number of _ general elections, indicated there was a wide split between organ- ized labor and the Liberals, a split unlikely to be healed even by Lester B. Pearson's emphasis that the Liberals had become a new party of the left. The invitation to a non-party memlber to speak before the council was “intriguing,” Mr. Dodge said. It represented a “considerable change" in the party's attitude. But if the Lib- supvport, they had to veer more to the left. , . As the threeday council meet- ing ended, Mai-Gen. A. Bruce Matthews, 49-year-old Toronto fi- nancier and businessman, was elected for ‘a oneyear term as National Liberal Federation pres. ident. The successor to Ottawa law- yer Duncan K. MlacTa-vislh told a press conference that money and manpower are the Liberals’ two main needs. MONEY PROBLEM The distance the Libenals could go in expanding their organiza- tion would depend on how much money they could raise. As approved by the council. the new permanent gmup would in Forecast BERLIN (AlPl—A responsible Soviet source said Wednesday night Russia intends to give Com- munist East Germany control over all supply hues used by the Western Allies to Berlin—air, rail and highway.

He promised Russia would hand By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CPI—The “squeeze play" faced by breakfast - food manufacturers and the high price of processing halibut were em- phasized Wednesday before the royal commission on price spreads of food products. Asked about price variations between two cereal products, president J. G. Wharry of the Quaker Oats Company of Canada said one had kept steady Wause of severe competition. “It‘s a squeeze play,” said the Peterborough, On t., executive. “We've taken a licking in trying to hold some of the marke .” The company tried transparent plastic bags but the cereal tended to harden and “we got back al- most. more of the stuff than we sent out," Mr. Wham-y said amid laughter. INSTANT FOOD HELPS A jovial 295 - pounder, the Quaker Oats executive stoutly de- fended modern methods of food preparation. “My wife's away in Edmon- ton.“ he said. “If we didn't have these instant foods 1 don't know what I'd do." Modern Food Marketing Defended By ExecufiVe Mir. Wharry said his company now sells more catfood than it does of one particular cereal. This, he said, is helping Maritime fishermen, because the raw ma- terial comes from the Atlantic coast. FISH 0N DISPLAY Sales director J. N. Hyland of British Columbia Packers Lim. ited produced a dead fish to illus- trate an argument. He showed the seven-member prices commission a 12— pound Pacific coast halibut, which sells to wholesalers for 28 cents a pound. Then he distributed a package of halibut fillets costing 53 cents, almost double, and a package containing 11 ounces of cooked and battered halibut plus 11 ounces of potato chips selling for a total of 52 cents. Mr. Hy-land was depicting the sharp hop prices can take after the raw product leaves the farm- er‘s field or the fishing grounds. The royal commission is specific- ally concerned with the growing gap between producer and con- sumer prices. Briefs also were presented by the Retail Merchants‘ Association of Canada Inc, and the Canadian Retail Federation. The retail merchants said grow- ing price spreads can be traced to the “Canadian way of life." SERVICE WORTH COST “The Canadian housewife and her husband have decided that the service they are buying is worth the cost because of the in- creased variety" of foods and the ease of preparation they pro- vide." Howard MacKich-an of Halifax, a commission m e m b e r, ,chal- longed a state by Arnold Rands, general manager of the associa- tion‘s national foods division, that farmers are “reluctant to admit that quality control, product pro- motion and research” are easem- tlal. Mr. Ra-nds replied that the ag- ricultural community accepted these things only under prodding from consumers and retailers.

From time to time, the position of president is to be rotated among the provinces. Future council meetings, to be held an- nually, also would be held away from Ottawa if possible. CONDEMN POLICIES Resolutions adopted by the $0 member council condemned tho Conservative g o v e r n ment for bringing in its tough anti-dump- ing legislation and for allegedly adding to Canada’s inflation headaches by financing higher government expenditures while restricting trade. The council accused the admin- istration of increasing unemploy- ment by flailing to move quickly to create jobs, and called on the Diefenba'ker government to alle- viate sulfaring among the job- loss. It urged the government to make the CBC “free” of cabinet control by providing the publicly owned corporation with funds over a 1011an period, instead of annually, r d to move with all speed to negotiate with the United States on downstream benefits of hydro development on British Columbia‘s Columbia River. The national hospital insurance plan should be expanded to cover TB and mental patients and the chronically—ill, the council said. It accused Mr. Diefenlbaker of "ro- pudiating" an election pledge on this extension of coverage. In line with a suggestion by the Canadian Federation of Agricul tune, the council asked also that a public agency be set up to help farmers move from small margi- nal holdings into eoonmnically— sound family fanm units. A Liberal government. it said. would ensure provinces adequate revenues through new tax~sharing deals. The annual $25,000,000 fed- eral grants to the Atlantic prov- inces. pmvided by the Conserva- tives on a four-year basis, would be put on a “more pemianemt tion, stressing the development of food processing. said a compari- son of Prince Edward Island po- tatoes with the same potatoes, washed. graded and bagged in a: supermarket would be like com: paring iron ore to finished steel. basis” by the Liberals. New Berlin Moves over its occupation rights in- the old German capital to East Ger- many. ' He did not spell out, however, whether he would risk a new EastaWes/c crisis by also transfer- ring to Premier Otto Grotewohl’o Red regime the supervision of traffic between West Berlin and West Germany, divided by 110 miles of Communist German ter- ritory. REGIME NOT RECOGNIZED The Western Big Three—and Chancellor K o 11 r a d Adenauer’s Bonn government—do not recog~ nine Grotewohl's regimw. and have refused to have any formal deal- ings with it. But the pressure is on. Reflusal of the United States, Britain and France to yield to East German controls might lead to 8 blockade of their West Berlin ganrisons. If left no choice, experts here believe the three nations would yield to controls while making it clear that this does not constitute recognition of the East German government. They would officially regard East Germans manning the checkpoints as agents of Rus- 51a. Under postdwar Big Four ac- cords, Allied military traffic be- came subject only to Russian swpe-nvi sion . However, West Berlin civilian traffic is already under East Ger. man police and customs controls. The 2,200,000 w e st Berliners therefore would not be allfeuted immediately and directly by 8 controls d i s p u t e between the Western Allies and the East Ger- mans.
