(CP) Some 30 lumbcrmen were in- jured Monday when a small log- ging train, carrying about 100 men, plunged into a 1th gorge in a rail washout caused by a burst beaver dam. About 21 required hospital at- tention. Seven of the injured were retained in St. Michael’s Hospital in this town about 25 25 miles east of Ottawa. Most seriously injured is Pierre Bluais, 55, of Montpellier, Que., who is unconscious and suffering from a fractured skull and other injuries. The train, a diesel engine and one coach, struck 'a washout 17 miles north of Duhamel, Que, some 80 miles northwest of Ot- tawa. It was travelling from Du- hamel to a lumber camp owned by the Singer Sewing Machine Company which also owns the train. DAM BURST Camille Pol‘iquin of Duhamel, company w o odlands manager, said the washout and gorge was caused when a beaver dam burst on L. hill above the rail embank- ment. Water cut through the em- bankment on an abandoned spur line, ripping out a small culvert. The water then bored through the embankment on the main line, leaving a rai‘ gap 50 feet long and 12 feet deep. Engineer Albert Desga-gnes, 54, of Duhamel, who suffered facial cuts, said he saw the washout 100 yards away, applied his brakes but the train skidded on a thin film of ice. The locomotive slip- ped into the gorge and the car fell on top of it. mnmAx (.ClP) — Fire and police officials searched through the charred ruins of seven water— front buildings here Monday for the cause of a spectacular three— alarm Sunday night fire.

Toronto Police Agree On Penal Reforms O'I'I‘AWA (CP) —— A federal- provincial conference M o n d a y agreed in principle to allow the federal government jurisdiction over a greater number of offend- ers sentenced to prison. The government’s jurisdiction, now extending to offenders sen- tenced to two or more years. would be widened to include some offenders sentenced to shorter tenms. But how far this new jurisdic- tion would go remains a matter of discussion at the two-day federal-provincial conference on correctional reform that opened Monday. The central government, if the provinces agree, is prepared to take over responsnbility for the detention and reformation of all offenders sentenced to six or more months. FOLLOWS REPORT of the 1956 Fauteux committee on penal reform, which the federal administration has accepted in principle and which is the basis for conference negotiations. It was understood represenra— tives of all 10 provinces at the meeting agreed that a change should be made, but post) 016d a decision on details. A dec.s.on may be reached today. , Some of the details concern the question of whether the change in the division of responsibility. which would apply in any case to male adults. should also apply to women and juveniles. Three other items were consid— ered by the conference, but no decision was announced. ’ One deals with variations in the length of sentences ordered by the courts of different provinces for similar offences. The Fauteux committee recom— mended attempts be made to bring about some relative uni- formity. The committee, headed by Mr. Justice Gerald Bhuteux of the Supreme court of Canada, Winnefienrch....gg§grfgg33:4 For Two Robbers TORONTO (CPL—Police Mon- day continued their search for two men wanted in connection with an armed robbery last Thursday night, following which a police officer and two robbery suspects were short and wounded. Police said they hold a warrant for armed robbery against Albert Stoutley, 40. and were also look- ing for a 31-year401d Toronto man for questioning in connection with the $75 armed holdup of an east- end drug store. Constable Hamld M'ulvogue, 23), who was shot and wounded dur- ing a gun battle that followed the robbery, was reported to have passed the crisis in his fight for life“ Dean Pelton, 31, of Montreal and Ottawa. who was shot-four times as he blazed away at police from an apartment block window, was also reported to have im- proved. Pelton is charged with at- tempted murder and armed rob- bery. William Vernon Eagles, 38, of Hamilton, who was shot in the shoulder by police shortly after the robbery has been charged with armed robbery and shooting with intent to maim. Police Seek Cause Of Huge Blaze On Halifax Waterfront buildings were vacant frame warehouses. They had been con- demned and demolition was to be- gin today. They were owned by Purdy Brothers Limited, marine engineers. A ‘navy spokesman said it would be some time before an accurate estimate of damage could be de- termined. The biuk stores blllld- ing which contained canned goods and an estimated 8,000 gallons of rum was destroyed. The spokes- man said the heating plant for the half — dozen buildings was badly damaged. Shaw Steamship Company Lim- ited lost heavily when a ware— house containing marine stores was destroyed. HUNDREDS WATCH BLAZE‘ Hundreds of residents watched the fire. Fanned by a cold north wind the flames leaped more than 50 feet into the air and showered sparks on nearby buildings. No residences were damaged and no one was injured. City police cordoned off a six- block area while all available city fire equipment, assisted by navy and dockyard firemen, fought the flames. A navy firetug pour-ed water on the buildings from the harbor. The fire was about a half mile from the navy’s big dockyard cs- tablishment and about one mile from the waterfront's major facil- ities at Ocean Terminals. ground be made available to the courts. This should be done espe- cially in cases of offenders be tween 16 and 21 years of age. CLASSIFY INSTITUTIONS A At the same time, the commit- tee said judges should have better knowledge of the types of penal institutions avéilable in their re spective provinces. In each prov- ince there should be classified in sttutions for the treatment of VI rious types of offenders. The third item concerned an approach to Canadian universities for assistance in setting a plan of training prison staff. The provinces are vitally con» cerned in this matter because education is a matter of provin- cial jurisdiction. The Fauteux committee recommended that a conference of universities be held to prepare course in criminology, law enforcement and cosmetic]: of prisoners. The conference also faces the question of providing additional federal and provincial assxstance to “after-care” agencies, most of which are privately - run. These agencies look after offenders after their release from prison and help to rehabilitate them. Plane Missing In Labrador ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.

NOT MORE THAN FIVE CENTS Pope Pius' XII Is Buried Amid- Scenes Of Splendor suoossrs IMPROVEMENT ' \ Scores CNR For Removal Of Pullman Car Service The proposed removal of the pullman car from the Prince Ed- ward Island service brought forth comment from Hon. B. Earle MacDonald. Provincial Secretary Treasurer last even- lug. Mr. MacDonald said the Rail- way’s statement that they are providing a 32 passenger car service which is being used by only three people is only partly correct. “The part that the rail- way has not revealed is really the most important", he said. Tlhe Provincial Treasurer says the car in use on the Island run is one of the most antiquated on the C.N.R. system. It is a car with eight sections (an upper and a lower berth in each sect- ion). In addition there are four bedrooms which can be used by . only two people but in reality should be singles. CARRIES 24 “If every 'bemh were filled and each of the four bedrooms had two passengers in each, the car would carry 24 persons but everyone knows that at very few times on the run between Mone- ton and Montreal is any sleeper car filled to capacity. There are always passengers getting on and off the train”, Mr. MacDon- ald said. Many people buying railway HON. MR. MACDONALD passage from Charlottetown, Mr. MacDonald said, buy their sleeper from Moncton on, in- stead of from Charlottetown. The reason they give for doing tins is, “Why ride in that type of car when we can ride in a modern car from Moncton?" He believes strongly that many sleeper tickets being bought from Moncton would be bought from Charlottetown if a proper car were provided. WANT ROOMETTES “What we want In Prince Ed- ward Island is a sleeper with duplex roometltes —- Then let us see whether our people will use it or not”, Mr. MacDonald said, “You cannot buy such a thing as an upper or lower on an American train and they are being less frequently used in Canada—Why should the Island be asked to accept this second rate service?" Mr. MacDonald said he is in- formed that 'm the case of the Halifax run, one half the space is sold in Halifax and the other half of the space sold in Mono- top. He could not see why the same arrangement could not be used in connection with the Charlottean run -— the latter being a much shorter distance. “Surely the Railway will make an effort to improve their sleep- er car service before they re- move it altogether,” he added. “I am convinced that the com- plete picture when revealed to the public will justify the con- tinuance of this important part of our passenger link which we have enjoyed for so many years". Maine Potato CropSmaIIerx. PRESQULE ISLE, (AP)— Maine’s 1958 potato crop. now about 95 per cent harvested, ap- pears to be somewhat smaller than expected. The latest U.S. department of agriculture forecast sets the total at 38,160,0(1) 'hundredweight — about 3,000,000 below the Septem- ber prediction. But the new total stillis higher than last year’s crop of 37,012,000 hundredweight. An industry spokesman said the entire crop probably will be out of the groundby the middleof this week. Most itinerant harvest bands, including several thousand Cana- dians. have gone home. U.S. Fires 5th Nuclear Test AITOIMIC TEST SII'DE, Nev.

South Africa To Change Charges PRETORIA, South Africa (CP) The government Monday with- drew its two-yearold indictment charging 91 men and women with treason-ably conspiring to over- throw the government to set up a Communist state. The attorney - general indicated immediately after the court ad- journed that the defendants will not be freed, but will be re-in- dicted on amended charges. Mast are out on bail. Conservatives Urge- Additional Carlerry Strong resolutions were passed at a meeting of the Progressive Conservative Association of the Province held in Charlottetown during the past week, for pre sentation to the Federal Govern- ment, urging immediate attention to the need of additional boat accommodation for the Borden- Tormentine service, A protest a- gainst an increase in rail freight rates, was also approved. These matters were fully dis- cussed and there was unanimous agreement that prompt action was necessary on both items in order to protect the econom1c interests of the Province. In View of expanding tourist and freight traffic, these interests could be seriously affected if any unfor- seen deterioration should take place in transportation services. In regard to increased freight charges, it was urged that the Province particularly, in relation to farm costs would suffer a severe reverse. Importations of large quantities of animal, feeds, fertilizers, farm necessities and costs of living for all Isl-and cit- izens would be substantially in— creased, as would also the carry- ing charges on the large quanti- ties, particularly of bulky field and animal products, many of which go to distant markets.

WASHINGTON (AP) — United States Air Force scientists speeded work on a new moon rocket project Mo nd a y, haurs after moon rocket No. I fell Short and plunged to flaming destruc- tion. Unofficial word from the Cape Canaveral, Fla. launching site was that another try would be made between Nov. 8 and 11, when the moon is closest to earth during its 28-day orbit. Pioneer, m a n’s first moon— bound missile to crack through earth's atmosphere, soared to a record 79,120 miles before plung- ing back to unobserved disin- tegration over the South Pacific early Monday. This space - pioneering venture failed to disappoint scientists for all that it groped only one-third of the distance to the moon. It re- inforced their confidence that they can “shoot the moon” and, eventually, reach the planets. GREAT ASSISTANCE Maj. - Gen. Bernard A. Schrie- ver, chief of the air force ballis- tic missile division, said radioed information from the Pioneer “will be of great assistance in improving instruments for future space and lunar probes and for putting man into space.” The air force has been assigned three lunar probe shots. The first attempt failed Aug. 17 when the rocket exploded 77 seconds after takeoff. T h e partially succeSSfu‘. Pioneer was the second attempt. Two moonshots have been as- signed to the U. S. Army. Unof- ficial word is that the army may take its bid in December and January. A successful moon rocket will have to speed aloft just a bit— but a do—or-die bit —— faster than Pioneer's formidable speed. STEEP ANGLE A leading U. S. astronomer, Dr. I. M. Levitt, said Monday Pion- eer was sent oflf at a speed of 34.400 feet a second. This was 850 feet a second short of the velocity needed to shoot it out of earth’s main gravitational pull. Other scientists said the mis- sile‘s speed was reduced because it climbed at an angle slightly Yanks Rush Preparations To Fire New Moon Rocke’r steeper than the planned one. In any case Pioneer didn't quite make it and the efforts of sci- entists on the ground to slow its fall—and thus give it a chance to orbit around the earth—were un- successful. The explanation w a s prosaic: Pioneer's batteries were too cold to respond to signals from earth. N0 TIME WASTED Gen. Schriever said: “I am confident‘t‘hat an Ol‘bll. around the moon can be achieved in the not too distant future." Asked when the air force will launch its third moonshot vehicle, he said only: "I’m not free to tell you. bu: I can assure you we‘re not going to wash my time." Body Placed In Three Coffins Near The Tomb Of St. Peter By FRANK BRUTTO VATICAN CITY (AP) —- With awesome ceremony the Roman Catholic Church Monday com- mitted Pope Pius XII to eternal rest near the tomb of St. Peter. The giant bells of St. Peter’s Basilica tolled a dirge as the body of the Pope, encased in three coffins, was lowered into the massive stone foundations of the Basilica. TWenty-uwo cardinals of the church, among them Paulqui-le Leger of Montreal, sat with bowed heads as the eulogy was read by Msgr. Nicola Metta. chosen by the cardinals for that task. The mournf-ul tones of the “miserere,” chanted by the Vat- ican's Julian choir, rose and fell through the recesses of the Ba- silica throughout funeral serv- ices. STRANGE SOUNDS trange sounds marked the two-hour ceremony. These included the rasp of brace and bit screwdrivers, the pounding of hammers on a leaden coffin and the hum of acetylene torches that sealed it. Above the incense, there was the odor of melting solder, and, at the end, the squeak of rope and pulley as the heavy, thrice- sealed cofifins were lowered into the grotbos. The decision to place Pius xn near the burial place of St. Peter was a quick one, made by the cardinals, and announced Mon day. .s Before that it had been ex- pected that the Pope would be placed near the original burial place of Pope Pius X, wlmse sainthood he proclaimed Mava, XII had expressed, a desire to be buried in that place. Selection of the new resting place close to the church' first pope was seen as an additional mark of esteem for Pius XII. EMPTY RECESSES The recesses of the Basilica, the world’s largest church, were dark and empty during Monday’s service. ' The ceremony was not open to the public. i Nineteen cardinals, rolbed- in their mourning purple, sat in a long and solemn row, their heads bent, their hands folded. Three o t h e r s — including Benedetto Aloisi Masella, temporarily the church’s supreme ruler as chap- lain—sat together near the three coffins, already set one inside the other and awaiting the body of the pontiff. These were of cypress. lead and oak. Promptly at 4 pm, the dirge of the miserere was begun and 16 chairbearers who had carried the Pope in triumph in his life time carried the regally robed body to a place alongside the cob fins. Five noble guards, all officers and including two of the Pope's nephews, Princes M‘arcantonio and Giulio Pacelli, stood at at- tention at one side. Seven more guard-s stood on the other side. In the background were the bril- liantly clothed Swiss Guards. their hallberds glinting in the glare of television lights. PERFORMS ABSOLUTION The solemn act of absoluh'on, with incense and holy wa.er, was performed by Msgr. Canisiua van Lierde, the Pope’s saclistan , and Vicar for Vatican City. Moving quickly, the bearers lifted the body and placed it in the coffins. Then in one of the most touch- ing parts of the ceremony each cardinal came forward, looked at the pontiff's pale features and sprinkled holy water on the body. M'sgr. Metta read a Latin ac- count of the Pope’s accomplish- ments. ' Then Msg-r. Antonio Bacci, the Vatican's Latin specialist, unrul- led a large sheet of parchment and read the rogi-to. or formal act of the burial service. - The parchment was placed in a brass tube. Together with coim and medals of the Pope’s reign. it wosput in a separate bag do- posi-ted in the inner coffin. GOFEINS SEALED The cypress and lead coffins were then closed and sealed. The third and final oak cover, also bearing the Pope’s seal, was put in place, fastened tight and also marked with seals. At 6 pm. the triple coffin was taken to the altar of the confes- sion, fastened to a rope and pul- ley scaffold and slowly lowered. The bell: of St. Peter tolled as the few thousand people who had witnessed the burial of the 2611 Pope slowly left the Basilica.
