A. Jones Construction com- pany. , The Evening Telegram says the men walked off their jobs Mon- day because the union had been unable to bargain with the corn- Dany on a technicality. The com- pany had said permission to bar- gain must be given by the United States Corps of Engineers. However, Labor Mini s t e r Charles Ballam told the unoins he had been advised permission from the corps was not required and no further difficulty would be encountered in arranging ne- gotiations. . During wartime and for several years thereafter the United States government did not permit un- ‘ ions to organize on its Newfound- land bases. Since then several un- oins, including those on strike, have been formed. The walkout is the first major strike by Newfoundland trades- men working for the United States government.

The deadline, which Mr. Allan said definitely won’t be extended, was mdinight Wednesday licence offices in the province reported lineups several blocks long as motorists tried to beat it. In previous years, as many as two or three extensions of the deadline were granted. But Dep- uty Highways Minister D. J . Col- lins said last Jan. 2 there would be no extension this year. Conviction for driving with out- dated plates carries a maximum fine of 50 for the first offence, 100 for the second and 200 and imprisonment for not more than 30 days on subsequent offences.

SPEAKS TODAY -R. R.‘Bell, leader of the Op- position in the Legislature will ‘begin his speech this afternoon on the draft address. Mr. Bell spoke briefly yesterday evening before adjournment of the House. The price of pulpwood on the Island was the cause of some sharp criticism by Joseph Cam- pbell, Liberal third Kings in seconding the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. Mr. Campbell spoke in the Legislature yesterday afternoon. He recalled that when pulp- wood was first purchased on Prince Edward Island the price being paid was $17 on the car and $14 at the roadside. He noted that during the past few years there has been considerable increase in the price of newsprint but the price of pulpwood has decreased’ ‘cord at - the -roadside: . The Kings -member. felt the some investigation was warranted into the price being currently paid to ascertain why such a spread should occur and why the price of the wood should not go up in accordance with the price of newsprint.

C. Johnstone who expressed the hope that Dr. Palar would return to the Island in the near future with his family. Earlier in the evening a bou- quet of flowers was presented to Mrs. T. W./L.

Yanks Decide To Wait For Time Before Cutting Taxes “Whatever decision regarding taxes is taken will be reached only when the impact of current developments ‘ on th e future course of the economyhas been clarified. and after consultation with congressional leaders." Walter Reuther, addressing an AFL - C10 economic conference here, said that if other anti-reces- sion moves fall, the government should halt tax withholding from workers’ pay for 90 days. The president of the United Auto ‘ Workers said this would increase purchasing power by $500,000,000 3. week. Meanwhile, the House of Rep- resentatives armed services com- mittee voted 24 to 2 for a Demo- cratic - sponsored anti - reces- sion resolution saying that mili- tary construction projects al- ready planned and appropriated for should be “accelerated to the greater practical extent.” Without waiting for the actual V committee vote, Donald Quarles, deputy secretary of defence, an- — nounced a step-up on approxi- mately $2,000,000,000 worth of construction for the next. five months. Odds Favor Opposition . In U.K. Byele-ction LONDON (CP)-—For the second time in as many months, the Con- " servartive party Thursday seeks to defend a Parliamentary seat in a byelection in which the odds favor an opposition candidate. In last month’s polling in Roch- dale, the government candidate finished a disastrous third behind his Labor and Liberal opponents, getting less than one-third of the total vote. The current contest is in the Glasgow constituency of Kelvin- grove, which the later Walter Elliot, one of the most respected members in the House of Com- mons, carried by 2,888 votes in the 1955 general election in a straight fight with Labor.

It meant immediate censor- ship of the press, radio and TV. including outgoing foreign news dispatches. ‘ « RULES OUT CAMPAIGNIN G The decree in effect rules out election campaigning, since all mass meetings are prohibited. The emergency cabinet session was called within 12 hours after rebel leader Fidel Castro, who launched the uprising in the mountains of e a st Cuba .14 months ago, refused to copper- ate with a national conciliation commission backed by the Roman Catholic Church. Batista had supported the’ comm-ission’s peace-making efforts. The 22,000-man army began re- cnuiting to expand its size by al- most a third. Rebel sources said Castro had told his hands “the final fight” was about to begin and ordered them to step up attacks on army posts, bombings, arson, killings and sabotage. J-ODR-ELL B A N K, England (Reuters) — Scientists this fall will attempt to contact Venus, closest planet to the earth, by bouncing radio beams off its sur- face. The difficult experiment will begin as soon as a powerful new transmitter, being built at Man- chester University, is fitted to -telescope located here. Director A. C. B. Lovell said Wednesday that is is about 10,000,000 times harder getting an answer from Venus than from the moon. l The distance involved is im- mense—it is only about 238,857 miles to the moon, or 2% seconds return by radio wave. Venus never gets closer to ‘earth than 25,750,000 miles—-thougih astrono- mers c-an’t calculate the exact distance—a.nd it will take at least five minutes foo a radio wave to get to Venus and back. The new transmitter have an effective power output about 3,000 times stronger than the average military radar set. It will be attached to the Jodrell Bank radio-ttlescope which has Radio Signals To Venus Is Plan the largest steerable aerial in the ' world. The Jodrell Bank scientists want to track Venus in much the same way they shadowed the Rus- sian Sputniks. They will make detailed measurements of the planet's relation to the sun, to the other planets and to fixed stars bhroughoutflts orbit. "TRACE STRANGE WIIISPERS Tracking venus is only the first project in a 20-year research. pro- gram. , The telescope will be used to diagnose faint whispers from the fringes of space—the “music of the spheres" of the medieval astronomers. " There are “objects” in the unl- verse, beyond the range of opti- cal telescopes, that emit strange, intense radio waves. Even after years of painst<akin=g stuly, only a few of the objects have been identified. One of these strong—yet invis- ible——sources of radio waves is the crab benula, the gaseous remnants of a. star that was seen to explode by Chinese as- tronomers more than 1,000 years ago. Tributesto three former mem- bers of the Legislature who pass- ed away during the past year, were voiced when the House met yesterday afternoon. The three who died during the year were Dr. W. J. P. Malc- Millan, H. Frank MacPhee and Edmund T. Higgs. Hon’. A. W. Matheson in mov- ing that a message of sympathy be extended to Dr. MacMillan’s family said that whatever may have been the motives of hers in entering politics one thing which was evident in the life of Dr. MacMillan, he did not enter for selfish reasons. The Premier said Dr. Mac- Millan had been held in high esteem‘ by the followers of all political parties and his appoint- ment as Lieutenant Governor was well merited. He regretted that ’ the Doctor had not lived to as- sume this high office. PICTURE IN HOUSE The Premier suggested that Dr. MacMillan’s picture he hung in the Legislature along with for- mer Governors of the Province. In seconding the motion of the Premier, R. R. Bell said it was a motion with which he felt sure all members of the House would be in agreement. Mr. Bell said Dr. MacMillan was always‘ fair, both in his criticism and his praise. “The untiring efforts which he put forth on behalf of his Province and his community, no doubt contributed in some measure to his passing", said Mr. Bell. Hon. Dougald MacKinnon said Dr. Maclvlillan was a great poli- tical and social life of the com- munity.” Hewas severe in de- bate but quick to forget his dif- ference when outside the House”. WILLING HELPER , Hon. B. Earle-MacDonald re- called that his family had lived side by side with Dr. MacMillan’s family for almost 35 ye.-'i1“s. He had always found the Doctor willing to lend a helping hand whenever he was called upon. Legislature Remembers The Passing Of Former Members. a Prince noted the worthy achieve- ments of Dr. MacMillan in the field of medicine. He said the high honour which the medical frater- nity had seen fit to bestow upon him was evidence of the esteem in which Dr. MacMillan was held. Also. speaking briefly on Dr. MacMillan’s passing were A. A. Maclsaac, Liberal fifth Queens and George E. Saville, Liberal, fifth Kings. Mr. Maclsaac said the Doctor had achieved the high- _est in service to his community. Mr. Saville said Islanders would long remember him. as the foun- d_er of the Island system of libra- ries. MR. H. F. MacPHEE Premier Matheson said that in the death of Frank MacPhee, the Bar of the Province had lost a very valued member. The Pre- mier recalled that Mr. MacPhee was a very logical thinker and one to whom the least detail was not unimportant. R. R. Bell said Mr. MacPhee’s sound judgment had been sought when grave problems were being decided at Ottawa. He referred to the late members notable re- cord in World War I and sug- gested that his death at a com- paratively early age was per- haps due to this service. Dr. L. G. Dewar and George E. Saville added short tributes to those of the Premier and Opposi- tion leader. MR. E. T. HIGGS In referring to Mr. Higgs’ pass- ing Premier Matheson noted that _Mr. Higgs had sat in the House 40 years ‘ago but there were two men living who had seats in the Legislature previous to him. They are Judge A. E. Arsenualt and Dr. G. F. "Dewar. R. R. Bell said Mr. Higgs would be remembered mostly for his untiring efforts on behalf of tem- perance in the Province. Hon. B. Earle MacDonald described N11‘. as a fine and triistworthy citizen. Hon. Eugene Cullen said Mr. Higgs had been a friend of his family for years- a man d Dr. L. G. Dewar. P. C.
