The discovery was made in the middle of last week by Clifton Ca:- rcl, a fisher-man. He went to pull his fish wheel from the water Q the winter, and saw several bright objects in the frozen sand and gravel on the wheel's axle.

British Await Attlee’s Speech LONDON, Oct. 23 —(OP)—With Prime Minister Att1ee's long-await- ed report to Parliament, Britain's socialist administration Momlay enters another phase in its struggle to avert national bankruptcy. In a 15-minute speech likely to beccme a landmark in the Labor Party's first full term of office, the Prime Minister will unfold the Government's latest saveor-bilst program. It is expected to oontai\ plans for cutting spending in all government departments. possibly Iby as much as £300.000,000 ($930.- 000,000). A few hours later Attlee will go on the air to tell the people what new austerlties they must face during the hard months ahead. The broadcast will be non-political, but it is certain to have a bearing on the country's vote in the next geneml election. The only known lt€im in the economy slash is the cut of £100,- 000,000 in British imports from dol- lar sources. This was announced last summer. Speculation as to other economy measures has been widespread Some sources believe the Govern- ment will snve money in "forward" spending. by postponing certain ex- penditure projects. This might af- fect building of schools. hospitals. municipal offices and health cen- tres. and the housing program. The Sunday Pictorial, independ- ent, specuslted that the economy ax will fail most sharply on pur- chase of gasoline and tobacco, and ipaylng of food subsidies. The food subsidies now total 52556000000 a year. Other fields where moneY-fiflvini! might. be put into effect are the trill for the government's "cradle- to-the-grave" social services, which now runs close to £000,000,000 a year, and the defence services, ap- propriations for which run at £760,- 000,000 e year.

Themes‘ See Itengere decided to take on any fob. including beby sitting, to ob- tein funds for camping equipment‘, By JOSEPH E. DYNAN PARIS. Oct. 23 -— (AP) _. Georges Bidault, lender of the middle-of-the road Mouvement Re- publicain Populaire, agreed tonight to try to form a new French Gov- ernment. France has been locked in a political crisis for 18 days, without a. cabinet. Bldault, who served as chief oi state in the provisional govern- merit in 1046 and later as France's foreign minister, accepted the task after party leaders conferred throughout the day under the deepening shadow that the im- passe might lead to dissolution of parliament and new elections. He is the third to try since the previous government fell on mt. 6. President Vincent Aurioi made the offer to Bidault after Edouard I-Ierriot, 77-year-old president of the National Assembly, tried and failed to reconcile the warring views of his own Radical Socialists and the Socialists. The M.R.P. previously had refused even to try iro form a government in this cris- S. Even among Bidltult/s own party colleagues, there was scant hope that he could succeed where two others had foiled; He said he would not start his actual negotiations until Monday. During the 18 days France has had two premiers without a cab- inet, one for four days. the other for two. Both resigned because they were unable to enroll a team of ministers from M.R.P. and the Socialist and Radical Socialist parties. . This three-party coalition came apart Oct. 6 when Premier I-Ienrt Queuille, a Radical Socialist, re- signed over the issue of wages and prices in a post-devaluation econ- omy. Since then Auriol has made the complete circuit of the ‘parties marking up the ruling combination. The Socialists, who brought on Queuiiies downfall by demands for wage increases. failed when their man Jules Moch was unable to get the co-opcration of the Cath- olic MRP. The Radical Socialists failerl Saturday night when Rene Mayer was unable to get the aid of the Socialists. The situation seemed made to order for Gen. Charles de Gaulle, who long has been demanding new elections to give his own follow- ers, the Rassemblementgdu Peuple Fhnncais, a voice in the Assembly, Five Prisoners Escape Jail Two Killed PHOENIX, Al'iz., Oct. 23 —(AP) - Five prisoners escaped Satur- day in a daring break from the fifth-floor jail of the Maricopa County court-house in downtown Phoenix.

Tito Opposition ’ Deadly Serious For Moscow By JAMES D. WHITE (Associated Press News Analyst) In backing Tito and Yugoslavia, the western world is prodding e kind of Communist crazybone. It involves something known as Russian orthodoxy. This means that whatever Moscow says ie right, and anyone daring to differ is not: a..Communist. Tito dared to differ by running Yugoslavia according -to Yugoslav conditions. In effect, he says Mos- cow was wrong. Moscow excom- municated him for this heresy. This may seem funny to non- Communists, but to Communist-s it is deadly serious, because if ‘Tito gets away with it others might try, and the whole Communist system. based on orthodoxy, could collapse. Tito brought it. to a head et e time when the Russians were feel- ing around for the right way to handle an even bigger question.

McNaughton said last night the Western Pow- ers have an advantage over Russia l manufacture of atomic weapons. to]. end etertod for freedom. in technical matters involving Canada's permanent delegate to the United Nations, recognized as a leader of Western Powers in U. N. atomic energy talks, added there is, therefore, "a little time 1e " to attempt to persuade Rus- sia to accept international control of atomic energy. In an address prepared for de- livery before a meeting here of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Corps As- sociation, he hinted broadly that he will soon relinquish his duties on the Canadian delegation to the United Nations. A report of the Big Five powers and Canada, who have been seek- ing a basis of agreement on inter- national atomic eontrol. probably will be made to the General As- sembly early next week, Mc- Naughton said. McNaughton added: “We cannot afford confusion of thought or unrealistic action in the face of the serious menace which lies behind the iron curtain. "There is as yet no reason for undue anxiety because in techni- Atomic Race cal matters we still have e sub- stantial margin of advantage over the Soviet, a margin which we be- lieve to be increasing. “In consequence, therefore, there is a little time left which can safe- ly be given to this process of edu- cation and persuasion. We must use it to the best advantage in an endeavor to carry, even yet, con- viction to tha peoples (‘l the Sov- let." McNaughton said the problem of international control of atomic en- ergy makes all other security pro- blems fade into inslgnificance. Speculation that McNaughton. may not head the Canadian dele- gation at the United Nations next year arose from the following comment: "I hope that from now on I may be more fortunate than I have been in the past in being able to be present at the various corps meetings throughout the year." (In New York the Canadian dele- gation decllned to comment on tihe remarks.) ' McNaughton has been Canada's representative on the Atomic En- ergy Commission since its incep- tion almost four years ago and has been head of the permanent Cana- dian delegation to the United States for the last two years. Lay Cornerstone of U. N. Headquarters Today By Nonnen Altetedter NEW YORK, Oct. 33 -— (CP) — Renewed pledges of support to the United Nations were made round the world tonight, the eve of the U. N.'e fourth ennlversery to be marked here tomorrow by the ley- lng of the cornerstone for its new headquarters. President Truman prepared to make e special trip from Washing- ton to the site on Manhattan's East Side, where he will make e 20- minute address et an unprecedent- ed outdoor meeting of (the U.

Vlshinsky is one of the seven As- eenrlbly vice-presidents slated to be silent participator: in the cere- mony. Vishlnsky'_s Government today pledged through Prevde, the Com- munilt Party peper in Moscow. to continue without change the Sov- let policy in the direction of strengthening the U. N. es en in- strument of peace. in e etetement ieeued in con- nection wiilh the eimlvereery, L. B. Pearson, Canada's External Af- felre Minister end chairmen of the Assembly's important political committee, said the “U. N. is the cornerstone of Canada's foreign policy and of our hopes for a peaceful world." "Canada is determined to give every possible support to the United Nations to strengthen it and to make it more effective," he added. In London leaders of the Gov- ernment and of the Opposition both voiced cautious hopes that the U. N. will succeed in keeping the peace. Prime Minister Attlee and Op- position Leader Winston Ohurchill sent messages to the U. N. As- sociation for the anniversary.

Included in the loss was the living quarters of the agent, Mr. Joseph A. MacDonald, above the station. Tile blaze broke out about 8.15 while Mr, and Mrs. MacDonald. with four children, were at: church. Two boys, one elx and the other eleven, remained st home. The blaze, which appeared to or- lginate in the wall on the plet- form side of the building, was dis- covered by the 11-year-old Mac- Donald boy, who notified C. N. R. trainman Handrahan. The letter immediately called for help and rushed the children from the burning building. A high wind was blowing at the time and the building was a mass of flames in a very short time. The Tignish Fire Depart- ment responded ln a matter of minutes as well as the O‘Leary and Alberton brigades who arriv- ed later. A bucket brigade of the citizens was‘ formed and rendered valuable assistance ln preventing the spread of the fire. Nothing was saved from the‘ building except a few pieces of furniture and some C.N.R. records. Money orders and other valuable documents were locked in the safe. All the household effects of Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald were lost. Mr. MacDonald lost a blllfolrl containing one hundred dollars in. cash and Mrs. MacDonald lost. jewellery, including a diamond ring and Wrist watch. No furnace fire had been on in the station for the previous two days nor was the kitchen fire started before Mr. and Mrs. Mac- Donald left for church.
