Provincial Minister of Agriculture. told sev- eral hundred potato growers here today that Federal aid would be forthcoming to ensure a fair return to the growers on sales made throughout the season. The meet- ing was called by the growers to determine what steps are being taken to secure financial aid for the industry. , Mr. Taylor said that if the farmers could furnish proof, through the Marketing Board, of their sales from the first of the season to the close. he could prom- ise definitely that the growers would receive any difference be- tween the selling price and what was considered a fair return. The Minister stated that he did not believe the farmers would be su-bsidizcd for the potatoes on hand at the close of the season. He emphasi 4. however. that there is I. demand for all the potatoes now in the growers hands and orderly marketing would dispose of the entire crop at a satisfactory pi-ice. He said that after allowing for shrinkage and potatoes to be used for plant- ing. there were about 5.400 car- ioads on hand in New Brunswick. a drop of 2.000 from this dale last year.

Feb. 1 -(AP) -High United states officials are reported to have decided that United Nations troops should stop at the 38th parallel if they are able to drive that far in any northward advance in Korea. While responsible American authorities were reluctant. to dis- cuss this development even priv- ately, the intent appeared to be to create if possible a basis for new efforts at a political settlement. The United states exercises through Gen. Douglas MacArthur the command of United Nations forces in Korea and MacArthur presumably has been or shortly will be informed of the decision. At the moment ll. N. advances to the north are described as rel- atively limited patrol action and apparently the present strategy is not designed to develop an all-out northward movement.

I --tReutcrs)- Aii Air Ministry spokesman said today that if war broke out the Royal Air Force could go into full-scale action at the touch of a button. Its strength is twice that of 1939. Battle of Britain veterans. now in command of the R. A. F.. agree that in another war they could exipect no breathing space like they had in 1939-40. But mobilization machinery is such that essential reservists on clviliaii jobs could be at their bat- tic stations within slightly more than 21 hours. Co-cpcrntioii with Atlantic Pact air forces is a key feature of R. A. F. organization. R. A. F. nir- crcws train in Canada and South- ern Rhodosia while Canadian fighter pilots are flying in Brit.- ain alongside R. A. F. formations. In Western Europe, English has become the official language for fighter pilots. Extensive U. S. llir forces equipped with 3-29 bombers and jet fightcrs are in Britain. The recent-visit. here of the huge Amcricsn B-36 bombers may in- dicate that such planes will be permanently based here under U. 5. command. Prime Minister Atlli-e an- nounced this week that Britain's output of fighter planes would be quadrupled in the next three years. All regular fighter sauadrons lil- rcady are equipped with jet alr- crsft. and 15 of the no auxiliary squadrons. manned by reservists at week-ends, have been turned over to jets. , g The three principal jet fighters in mass production-the Meteor. Vampire and Venom-will in time give way to swept.-back wing machines now in the prototype stage. Luck of a modern heavy bomber is the greatest gap in the R. A.

The new drug is based on clinical studies around a 1030 discovery that female ulcer patients generally become symp- tom-free during pregnancy. Parke-Davis said quantities of liutrol are avallalble "to meet all present. foreseeable needs." It is usually administered in capsules. four times daily. Of 16 patients given the drug after 15 weeks of unsuccessful conventional treatment. the comp- any said 15 became symptom-free in four to six weeks.
