Report Heavy Holiday Traffic Al Borden One of the heaviest 24th of May traffic movements in the history of the Province saw huge nlleups of cars at Borden waiting to make the crossing to cope Tormentine. Late yesterday afternoon the old car ferry S. S. Prince Edward Is- land had a backlog of over 100 automobiles waiting at the pier on this side. It was planned to make extra trips last night to clear up the traffic and it was also arranged to have the dining room on the ship open all night to take care of the requirements of travellers. There were comparatively few automobiles remaining on the Cape Tor-mentlne side during yesterday afternoon and it was thought prob- able that they might be ferried in "one trip. The fine weather enjoyed here and the long holiday weekend com- bined to swell the numbers of those seeking to cross the Strait of North- umberland after a brief visit here. At the same time the traffic pileup was caused in some measure by the limited capacity of the old ferry which is back in service while the M.V. Abegweit is in drydock at Halifax for its annual overhaul. Date of the return to service of the Abegweit is still unknown. TOKYO.

Iiussia Makes New Demand For 4-Powergrley By GEORGE IOULTWOOD BONN. May 25 - A pesce con- tract giving West Germany enough freedom to enter an armed alliance with the West was completed here today. Last-Minute French objec- tions were overcome after long hours of negotiation. The contract is to be aimed Monday by the Bi! Three foreign ministers and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in a. ceremony starting at 10 A. M. (5 A. M. E.D.T.). ' But on the very,day the historic document was completed. the Bus- sians made their third demand in three months for a four-power con- ference to frame a. peace treaty for a united and "completely sovereign" Germany. The West German pact - a par- tial peace treaty for only part of the former enemy Reich - will not -be published until after the signing ceremony. It will end the occupation. grant the federal re- public near sovereignty and, com- bined with the six-country treaty to create a million-man European srrny with 400.000 Germans in it. bind the 48.000000 Germans west of the Iron Curtain to free Bur- ope. The latter treaty is slated for signature in Paris Tuesday. Neither pact is effective until ratified and both face parliament- MIV battles. especially in Bonn and Paris. where strong political groups oppose the projects. In two days of meetings here.

France's Robert Schuman. the United States' Dean Acheson and the German ironed out the last few points blocking completion of the pact, in negotiation a year. , I -Last-minute French denfsnds which for a time threatened to block the signing were virtually settled today. The negotiators ag- reed on the wording of in Anglo- Ameriosn guarantee to prevent Germany breaking out of the Eur- opean srmv and becoming again a menace to her neighbors.

They marched smartly ashore from a landing craft and boarded trucks for their camp site. i I (In Ottawa Saturday Defence Minister Brooke Ciaxton of Can- ada. said a statement on the Kojc Island duties of the Canadians may be made Monday, possibly in the House of Commons. Asked if Ottawa. was consulted before the Canadian troops were ordered to Koje.

The Canadians were accompani- ed by a company from the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. The two units will join the security force at this United Nations P.0.

Its brilliance shone on the faces of 1.090 combat troops and 600 mil- itary observers in foxholes less than four miles from the detona- tion point and of Las Vegas house- wives in houaecoais 85 miles away. The military reported that the infantry troops as well as the army, navy and air force observers came through the experience un- scathed. The test was the sixth of the series and the 18th at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada prov- ing grounds. Civilian and A. E. C. observers in Las Vegas agreed that this was the brightest blast this spring. And an A. E. C. staff man stationed on Mt. Charleston. 40 miles from the test site. said "It was a dandy." It was that. and a conversation piece in Las Vegas, too. Women in housecoats and their husbands came out of their houses in the cool dawn to watch the explosion at 5 A.M. (8 A.M. E.D.T.). The test blast. oddly enough. was not heard, nor did it produce shock waves, in Las Vegas or on Mt. Charleston. But dogs yeiped in Las Vegas 7&5 minutes after the deton- ation.
