Southern Part Of Saskatchewan Still Snowbound Regina, Jan. 22--(CP)--Slowly moderating temperatures spread over Southern Saskatchewan today but they brought little solace to railway. officials faced with the problem of clearing snow-blocked lines and alleviating threatened food and fuel shortages in snow- bound towns and villages. Although the last flakes in a ser- ies of blizzards fell a week ago branch lines stil] remained buried under drifts, one of them an esti- mated 28 feet high. One town has been snowbound since Jan 6 and of- ficlals said the present blockade was unprecedented"in railway history in the southern end of the province, Goodwater, 20 miles south of Weyburn, toward which the last train puffed its way 16 days ago, was worried over its food and fuel supply. Supplies are piling up in Weyburn warehouses for other towns, includ- ing Bengough and Ceylon, where the last train arrived Jan. 10. The Regina-Radville line has beén blocked since Saturday. Alexander UrgesForces Be Used To Open Up Our Mineral Resources Ottawa, Jan. 22--(CP)-- Canada had frcm her new Governor-Gen- eral today a suggestion that the Dominion's armed forces, with all their war-developed skill, might Join with mining men in opening up the vast, undeniably rich areas of the country as yet untapped, Viscount Alexander, who led Canadians through Sicily and Italy in war, made the suggestion in an address last night to the annual convention dinner of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He also disclosed he planned a trip next year to the birthplace of Canada's gold rush of '98--the Yu- kon--and presented Institute me- dals of bravery to two men who risked their lives for comrades in mine accidents--Leopold Dutil of Normetal, Que., and Donald Finlay- son of Cttawa and Geraldton. On the main theme of this ad- dress, the Governor-General had this to say to the mining men: "To what extent you can link up your -activities with the armed for- ces I don't know, but. military eéquirment and developments of aerial reconnaissance, mapping and communications could be linked with commercial development to the advatage of the country as a whole." It was on this theme that the In- stitute headed into the third and final day of a convention which brought out discussion of modern developments in the industry--such as the magnetometer instrument through which ore bodies can be located from the air-mechanization of coal mines and prevention of the scourge of metal miners--silicosis. Yesterday the convention receiv- ed insight into two preventives for silicosis, one a slight adjustment in the design of the hard-hitting rock drills which create the silicosis-la- den dust, the other involving the absorption of controlled emounts of powdered aluminum dust by mine ers before they descend to the pits. Labor relations came in for dis- cussion witla submission of an in- terim report by the committee on legislation, H. E. Miard of Fernie, B. C, a member of the committee, said the trade union was an essen- tial part of the economic structure and should be preserved, but sug- gested "its activities must be res- tricted to its proper field and it must be returned to a status in which it will serve the community and not plague it." He suggested that trade unions should be compelled to incorporate themselves under provisions .of the societies Act "or some special enact- ment." This, he believed, would evoke "a great deal of recrimination on the part of our labor autocrats; but it is also probable that it will be ac- cepted willingly by many mefbers of the trades unions who are prob- ably much more interested in the welfare of their families than in the furtherance of extravagant schemes concocted mainly with the aggrand- izement of the labor leaders as their Object." The Governor-General in his ad- dress last night noted the great contribution of the mining industry during the war in "every form of research and production of those materials which were essential to modern armies, navies and air for- ces." These things now could be turn- ed "into more profitable channels and developed, not for destruction but for rehabilitation and for the building up of an economy which will enrich Canada and still further raise the standard of living of her people." Yugoslavia Requested Back Claims London, Jan. 22--Yugoslavia was called before the Big Four deputy foreign ministers council today to back up her claims for 1,000 square miles of Austrian territory. First of the "Little Nations" to be consulted as the deputies concern- ing preliminary German and Aus- trian peace treaty drafts, Yugosla- via has asked for sections of Carin- thia and Styria--in Southern Aus- tria--where, she maintains, large Slavic minorities reside. Austrian officials, headed by for- eign Minister Dr. Karl Gruber, were Sxpecien to oppose the territorial c y Discussions of the peace program for Germany were recessed until tomorrow after Robert Murphy, United States representative on the council, suggested that a peace sta- ture be imposed on Germany ine || stead of forcing any German gov- ernment to bear the "onus" of sign- ing a peace treaty. Oshawa Soloist Heard at Eldad - Correspondent Solina, Jan. 21--Hampton Circuit men's Brotherhood held its second meeting of the season at Eldad on Tuesday evening with Laverne Cle- mens, president, in charge.

Alex and George also led in community sing- ing. Charles Shortridge entertained GOs listeners with a reading. It was decided to invite Courtice Circuit Brotherhood to the next meeting on February' 18, at Hampton. The So- lina Committee, including Harold Pascoe, Elgin Taylor, and Ernest Hockaday served lunch. Dr. George and Mrs Werry, Osh- awa, entertained about 25 Solina friends at. a delightful party on Saturday evening. Prizes for high score in Court. Whist were awarded to Mrs. Wes Yellowlees and Wes Werry. Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Hoskin enter- tained relatives at an = enjoyable rarty, Saturday evening. Prizés were won by Mrs Ralph Davis and Gordon Pereman 'Relaxation' Said Main Fire Cause Fort William, Jan. 22--(CP)--Re- lexation in watchfulness was blam- ed yesterday by C. W. Caskey, soli- citor for the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office, for a 50 per cent increase in fire losses in Ontario since 1940. The number of blazes annually in the province now stands at about 17,000, he said, a figure one third greater than 10 years ago. Presidential Succession U.S. Worry By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, Jan, 22--(CP)--Gen. George C. Marshall's unequivocal declaration that he would never take a political office is expected to spur Congress to quick action on a bill to place the Presidential suc- cession belond possible question or doubt. When he was sworn in yesterday as State Secretary, Gen. Marshall became the constitutiona] successor to the President in the event mis- hap removed President Truman. . Yet, two hours before taking the oath, Gen, Marshall, on his own initiative dictated a statement to '| the press declaring that he would "never become involved in political matters," and that "I never could be drafted." His statement was inténded to silence speculation on the possibility of his becoming a Presidential can- didate in 1948. He said he did not consider the office of State Secre- tary a political appointment. This situation, foreseen sometime ago, has brought a new flurry of bills in Congress looking toward constitutional amendments to es- tablish a better system for Presi- dentia] succession, Interest in the point also was heightened during the last week by the alarming constitutional muddle in Georgia, where two claimants are fighting for the governorship made vacant when the fovernor-elect died. Presidential succession now is de- termined by an act of 1886, which provides for the Secretary of State to succeed in the event both the President and the Vice President are removed. After the Secretary of State the succession goes down through the Cabinet in the order in which port- foliols were created--treasury, War, Attorney General, Postmaster Gene eral, Navy and Interior, President Truman advocates a constitutional change that would make the Speaker of the House of Representatives successor, instead of the Secretary of State, " The problem became of immed- late national interest in April, 1945 when President Roosevelt died in office and the Vice-President, Harry Truman, became President, The generally popular belief is that no man should be in line for succession unless he is in office by virtue of a majority vote of the people. Cabinet secretaries are not elected but are dppointed by the President. Most extreme proposa] is that in the absence of a President or Vice- President an election may be called in 90 days by a simple vote of Con- gress, Also that, if the President wanted an expression of the peo- ple's will, he could call a national election for both Congress and Pre- sidency, on 90 'days' notice. This would be similar to the British Par liamen system. But tie expectation is that the succession wil] be fixed so that if the elected President and Vice- President are unable to serve the succession will go first to the Spea- ker of the House, then to the Pre- sident® pro-tempore for the Senate. Civilian Air Crew Entitled To Pensions Ottawa, Jan. 22.--(CP)--Probab- ly through ignorance of a statutory right, not a single veteran or wid- ow of a veteran of the civilian air crews which delivered wartime planes across the seas for the RAF. Transport and Ferry Commands has received a pension five months after such pensions became law. On the last day of August, 1946, Parliament passed "an act respect- ing civilian war pensions and allow- ances," embracing merchant sea- men and salt water fishermen, Auxiliary Service personnel, over- seas fire-fighters, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Air Raid Precau- tion workers, voluntary aid detach- ments, overseas welfare workers and the civilian air crews. At the end of December, 107 disability and 408 death awards to widows and de- penents had been authorized by the Veterans' Department as justified awards for wartime loss. None of them affected the RAF. commands, whose 203 Canadians saw 77 of their number killed on service, a death toll greater than 25 per cent, Among their deaths were those of men shot down in unarmed aircraft being flown into Africa or New Guinea. 'The act provides & pension of $600 a year for a totally-disabled person plus $240 for a wife and $120 apiece for dependent children, The rates slim down from there, depend= ing on the degree of inability, A widow receives $480 and $120 for a child. In most cases, application should be made to the Department of Vet- erans Affairs within a year after the act came into force or after death, whichever is the later, Departmental officials advised all potentially eligible persons to file applications as soon as possible. In Montreal, J. M. Pearce, representa- tive of the civilian air crew, said a number of widows were in serious financial condition but were scat- tered to advise of their right to pension, Will Mechanize Nova Scotia Mines To Reduce Cost By JOHN TRACY Press Staff Writer Glace Bay, N.S., Jan, 22.--(CP)-- Cape Breton's big coal operators, whose high-cost product has had to meet competition from low-priced United States fuels on the Central Canadian market, are about to take a leaf from the American book and try completely mechanized mining in Nova Scotia's undersea pits. 'The high production cost of No- va Scotia coal, double that of Unit- ed States fuel, was a factor in the recent break-down of wage nego- tiations between Dominion' Steel and Coal Corporation and the United Mine Workers (C.CL. The Union asked for a $2.50 in- crease in the $5.84 daily basic wage of its 13,000 Maritime members, plus a 15 per cent. boost for men working at the coal face, Dosco, whose associated compan- ies mine 85 per cent, of the prov- ince's annua] production of more than 5,000,000 tons, balked at pay- ing the increase, contending it would raise coal production costs $4 a ton, Now, while Company and Union have taken their differences before the Federal Labor Department at Ottawa, new machinery is on the way to being installed in Cape Bre- ton pits with the blessing of both capital and labor. Although cutting, drilling and hauling coal in Nova Scotia mines has long been done by machinery, only one small company has tried successfully to mechanize the job of loading coal underground. The Union has taken the posi tion that if mechanized loading should eventually displace miners, government must see that the sur- plus manpower is placed in other industries, . But company officials say coms plete mechanization is not likely to come suddenly. - It will be at least five years before any appreciable number of men wil] be displaced, Fumes Overcome Mother and Son Peterborough, Ont, Jan. 22 -- (OP)--Mrs, R.
