@ SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THR Says Canada-U.S. -- Coal Car Mixup By JOHN Aftermath of War LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Aug. 16 (CP)--Like many another post-war headache, the Canada-United States freight car mixup is a symptom of a wartime ailment breaking out belatedly in a new spot. It has its roots in the inakility of the railways to get cars built during the war, for the usual® wartime reasons, plus a continuance f high freight volume after the war. When the U.S. declared a partial embargo against shipments of coal "to Canadasthis week, the Canadian railroads had on order almost 10,- 000 new cars, Of these orders, they had received only a few hundred deliveries. . C.P.R. Not Affected The Canadian National Railways, directly affected by the ban, was awaiting 5,100 new cars of various types. The Canadian Pacific, not affected, had received only 250 hop- per cars of total orders of 4,600 placed early in the year. Volume deliveries were. expected to start by early fall, bolstering the war-wearied ranks of the compan- ies' carrier for the heavy annual movement of Western grain. But in the meantime the squeeze has been on the railways for car space. Rail officials say they were strained to the utmost to handle last year's traffic, and this year's volume to date is running ahead of that of 1946, v Boost Resp This circumstance apparently is partly responsible for the "adverse balance" of freight cars as between Canada and the United States, which prompted the U.S. Office of Defence Transportation's ban against the shipment of its coal over the C.N.R.s lines until the balance is cut down, It has been. customary for the Dominion to have this balance be- cause more traffic heads into Can- ada from the U.S. than this coun- try sends south. Originally, it was 5,000 in Canada's favor; but when it became apparent the Dominion could not meet this figure, the O.D: T. boosted the allowance to 8,000. By the time the O.D.T. finally cracked down, the margin had ris- en to around 18,000. As of the deadline of last Saturday midnight, the O.D.T, said it still was around 12,000 though 'the Canadian Trans- port. Department reckoned it--on a different. basis--at less than 8,000, Claim Agreement Violated A claim of the O.D.T. is that Canada--specifically the C.N.R.-- has consistently been using Amer- ican coal cars for domestic operat- ings in violation of a "gentlemen's agreement" with the hS. The problem has moved into the diplomatic level now. The Can- adian government, through its Ex- ternal Affairs Department, is going through the formal protocol of drawing the matter to the attention of the United States government by way of its State Department. This unusual step is justified by officials here on the ground that the O.D.T. in ordering its ban, was taking a step that could have a serious effect on the economy of another country. Also, it is pointed out that while the O.D.T, has no power over Can- adian roads, its actior has effec- tively barred the C.N.R. from pick- ing up US. coal. It is the C.NR. that normally carried the bulk of this fuel from the U.S, to Canada. STRIKE ACTION APPROVED Toronto, Aug. 16--(CP) -- Head- quarters here of the United Pack- inghouse Workers Union (C.I.0.) said last nigit that ballots held among workers in Western Canada plants of the Swift-Canadian Com- pany 'overwhelmingly approved" strike action in the union's demand for a wage increage of 17% cents an hour.

Three Dead In Hurricane Tampico, Mexico, Aug. 16-- (AP)--Military authorities today counted at least three dead and 19 injurgd in the wake of a tro- pical hurricane that lashed the south coast yesterday with winds reach'ng 110 miles an hour, Two o: the dead and five of the injured were reported from the Cerro Azul oilfields near the coast 95 miles to the south, di- rectly in the path of the storm that howled out of the Gulf of Mexico. ' : Derricks were toppled and tanks and machinery were damaged, Gen, Tamayo, military command- er at Cerro Azul, reported to Tampico via private telephone wires of Pemex, government pet- roleum monopoly. Other communications Cerro Azul were severed. One person was electrocuted in Tampico, where homes were flood- ed, streets were deserted and dows shattered as the storm i with Some 2,000 persons were force. ed to flee from their homes as the Rio Panuco, which winds through' the city, overflowed. They found temporary refuge in schools and other public build- ings, The core of the storm last night was reported to be semi-station- ary approximately 30 miles south of Tampico, - EE ---- Can. Holds Engineers Toronto, Aug. 16.--(CP)-- Cana- da is holding onto its new crop of mining engineers. The Canadian Mining Metal As- sociation says that of 54 graduates in 1947 only one has left Canada. "For one profession at least it is evident that opportunities in Ca- nada are attractive enough to pre- vent a drain of technical talent to the United States," J. G. McCrea, association president, comments. Though this year's class of 54 from eight universities and mining schools is the largest in years, 1948 will see graduates nearly doubled to a total of 97. Of the 1947 gradu- ates, 50 per cent are veterans. - R.C.M.P. Hasn't Heard About Quebec's Red Radio Montreal. Aug, 16--(CP) --A iisclosure Thursday by Premier Juplessis of Quebec that a clan- lestine Communist-operated ra- iio station was operating in the orthwest Quebec region near Abitibi, drew a blank in federal jovernment circles at Ottawa, vith Commissioner £. T. Wood of hé R.C.M.P. saying his force had 10 knowledge of any such stat. on Premier . Duplessis said his in- 'ormation came from the Quebec Provincial Police, whose deputy lirector, Hilaire Beauregard, des- rribed the station as an amateur 'eceiving-sending set and said ijt 1ad been interfering with a priv- ite radio station at Rouyn, Que. "This discovery is rather sur- rising when we know that Tim 3uck and other Canadian Com. ' nunist leaders benefited 'from he CBC's free broadcast time to pread their ideas. Not satisfied rith this, they bring their auda- ity to the point of setting 'up landestine stations," Mr. Duples- |sis was quoted as sa 'ing. At the same time the Quebec Premier challenged the right of the federal government to refuse the Province of Quebec's applica- tion to operate a radio station. He said that he ir not accepting Ottawa's refusal and that the Pr vince of Quebet does not re- cognize that Ottawa has the right to assume all the rights in the field of radio. "We refu.e to accept such an arbitrary and unjust ruling as a definite one," said Mr, Duplessis, "We intend to take all constitu- ticnal and legal means and steps necessary to have our provincial radio broadcasting rights fully respected and observed." He added that the decision ta. ken by Ottawa was a "manifesta. tion of the arbitrary and tyran- nical mentality of the central government, and not at all in conformity with true Canadian mental principles of our country's constitution," | Rail Hearing Six-Month Adjourns By JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Aug. 15--(CP)--A limp and bedraggled body of men strag- gled out of a courtroom here this week and inhaled the fine, fresh air of freedom for the first time in six months. Even though the heat waves were dancing at 96 degrees they felt 'like a bunch of kids hitting the holiday season. For half a year, plus a few days, the group of lawyers, accountants and technical advisers--and news- paper men too -- had been serving a sentence in the salt mines of the national freight-rate enquiry. And the six-months reprieve had come none too soon. Huge Sums Involved During the stretch, they had em- ployed or listened to some"3,500,- words, juggled astronomilal sums in figures and travelled 8,000 miles to sit in on hearings in 10 cities from Halifax to Vancouver. By the time the hearings recess- ed until Sept. 29, in the midst of a searing heat wave the strain was beginning to tell. Tempers were getting frayed around the edges, and sheer physical exhaustion had knocked out several of the partici- pants, The adjournment was called to give them a chance to regroup their shattered forces and prepare a fresh store of ammunition for the closing phases of the campaign. Documents Piled Up When they left the courtroom of the Board of Transport Commis- sioners, bales of documents of one kind or another--exhibits, trans- cripts of testimony and assorted reference works in great pound- age--followed them. The bound volumes of testimony alone already are running five-foot shelves a neck-and-neck race and the exhibits are running close to the 400 mark, and it takes a good man to heft them. Some of them weigh in at a couple of pounds, and they include everything in the railday document line except old ticket stubs. Empress Liner Sails Toda: Montreal, Que., Aug. 16 -- With 676 passengers, upwards of 3,100 tons of cargo -- largely foodstuffs for Britain--and 120 tons of mail, the Canadian Pacific Liner Empress of Canada sails today for Liverpool to complete her second post-war transatlantic round trip. Returning to England after a few months' holiday in this country will be major Gen. Sir Percy Tomlinson KBE, CB, DS.O., Honorary phy- sician to H. M.

With Big Three Split Rio Parley Said Vital By REWITT MACKENZIE AP. Foreign Affairs Analyst The inter-American conference on hemispheric defence, asseembl- ing Rio de Jantiro, had better have been held long ago, but while it is late it does arrive at an opportune moment to bolster a harassed Un- ited Nations in efforts to reestab- lish and maintain peace. The purpose of the conference is to implement the historic Act of Chapultepec, adopted by the na- tions of the two Americas at Mex- ico City in March, 1945. This act not only provided for concerted ac- tion to . repel aggression from abroad, but aimed to keep peace among the nations of the hemis- phere. The Act of Chapultepec was halil- ed by Senator Tom Connally, then chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate, as one of the greatest state papers in the world--a new M. nroe Doctrine backed by all the Americas instead of just the United States. The Senator said the act was a forerunner of what it was hoped would happen a month later at San Francisco where the world se- curity conference was to create a new peace organization to take the place of the League of Nations, Big Three United The conference of Chapultepec was held as the Allies were deliv- ering the final knockout blow to Nazidom. The Big Three--America, Britain and Russia--were close bro- thers in arms and all was honey and flowers among them, Few there were who doubted that this trio of powers would be the backbone of the new United Nations. Certain- ly there never could come a time when there would be a serious clash among them. e Perhaps it was partly because 'of this feeling of security that the nations of the Americas didn't get together sooner to implement the Act of Chapultepec, although of course the differences between the U.S.A. and the Argentine were the direct cause of much delay. Any- way the matter has been allowed to drag along until now the security of the Western Hemisphere has be- come a matter of grave concern. Russia, Pritain and America no longer are the Big Three in unity. They are the Big Two and the Big One, leaders respectively of . the Western and Eastern blocs of na- tions. They are at sword's point around the world. Even the Unit- ed Nations has been made impo- tent by Russia's employment of the veto in connection with virtually every major issue that has arisen. U.N. Becomes Battleground Thus the most important service which the U.N. has been able to render has been to provide a thea- tre in. which to epitomize the bat- tle of the great powers. This fight has emphasizéd that there are two worlds and not the one which had been so eagerly sought-- that Russia is bent on global revo- lution for the spread of commun- ism. I. has become clear that peace is in damger of being dis- rupted again. " And sp it is encouraging now to see the Rio meeting finally under way. It is in no way a challenge to the U.N, since regional agree- ments among nations are permiss- | ible under the charter of that or- ganization. On the contrary, a Pan-American agreement for "de- fensive solidarity should provide a grand complement to the U.N. and would strengthen its hand immens- ely. The writing on the wall is clear. The time has arrived when the Western Hemisphere should go all out in providing for solidarity of defence. Investment Rate Unchanged: Ilsley Ottawa, Aug. 16.--(CP) --Invest- ment intentions of Canadian busi- ness for 1947 show little .change in the aggregate from forecasts made at the beginning of the year when it was estimated that more than $1,005,000,000 would be spent on new capital goods and $1,640,000,000 on capital, repair and mainten- ance, Rt. Hon. J. L. Ilsley, acting Minister of Reconstruction and Supply has disclosed. He said a mid-year survey show- ed that planned expenditures on new capital goods had been pared down by three per cent from the beginning of the year. Anticipated new construction was down about two per cent of new machinery and equipment down a little over three per cent. Still, it was estimated that ex- penditures on new capital goods would be 70 per cent in excess of those last year and the outlay on capital, repair and maintenance about 40 per cent greater than that of 1946. The regional changes in invest- ment plans for manufacturing in- dustries oly shew the following: Maritimes, up seven per cent; Quebec, up eight per cent; Ontario down two per cent; Prairies,. down seven per cent and British Colum- bia, up one per cent. 2 SECTIONMEN KILLED Campbellton, N. B., Aug. 16--(CP) --Two sectionmen employed by the Canadian National Railways were killed last night when the west- bound Ocean Limited struck their motor trolley on the main C. N.

PRIME MINISTER WILL SPEAK Hamilton, Aug. 16--(CP)--Prime Minister Mackenzie King will be guest speaker at the concluding banquet of the National summer conference of the Young Liberal Federation of Canada to be held at McMaster University Sept. 1 to 5, it was announced yesterday. Baby Atom-Splitter Is On File For Future Johannesburg, South Africa, Aug. 16.-- (Reuters) -- Even the small- est research groups should be able to own and operate a particle ac- celerator for their: atom-splitting experiments once a. prototype of an apparatus now being designed at the University of the Witwaters- rand has been proved to be effec- tive. Alva Archer, arf electrical engin- eer at the unwersity is working on designs. for the new prototype ap- paratus under the direction of Dr. Arthur Bleksley, senior lecturer in the Department of Applied Mathe- matics, explained its principles as follows: Use Ring-Shaped Magnet The accelerator, which works on the synchroton principle, will use a ring-shaped magnef which will present to the charged particles a magnetic field which increases with orbit radius, The field in the im- mediate vicinity of the orbit is modified to provide axial and ra- dial stability. This local 'modifica- tion expands with the orbi:. The accelerator will be able to be used for experiments in pure physics, and will develop X-rays which can bg used for deep therapy and in heavy industry. The principle of the device has been shown to be feasible and will produce an accelerator which will cost less than the same energy than the synchroton 'and betatron used for such' experiments at - present, Archer said. 'Technique Will Improve The theory of the accelerator has been developed to the stage where the machine can be designed and built. As the theory develops, the technique will be improved. It is expected that it will be made three or four times more powerful than at present. The accelerator will be able to develop X-rays which will be. far more powerful than those develop- ed. by the equipment at present in use in our hospitals, and at far less cost. The accelerator will also be ahle to be used in heavy industry--mines and steel works -- for X-raying large sections and structures for faults, and other industrial uses. Riot Flares Over Negro Tenants Chicago, Aug, 16--(AP)--A crowd estimated by police at almost 3,000 dispersed early today from the vi- cinity of a new South Side housing project after 118 persons were ar- | rested and charged with disorderly ' conduct in protesting the admission there of Negro tenants At the height of the disturbance last night, stones were thrown through windows of the buildings and street cars in nearby streets. Street lights were broken and one policeman was struck by a brick | thrown from the crowd but he was not injured. | Police Commissioner John Prend- ergast, who co:upleted a tour of the ! area early today, ordered a police patrol of 150 men continued. At one time last night 1,000 policemen were at the scene. Several street car passengers were cut by flying glass from stoned ! windows and treated at a hospital. The housing project, opened to was the scene 200 persons in their first protest demonstration. On Wednesday night, about 400 persons assembled at the project. Forty families of white veterans were admitted to tenancies in the project along with' seven Negro families. Staggered Demand Plan Groomed To Meet Shortage Toronto, . Aug. 16.--(CP)--A wide program of consumer co-operation will be inaugurated by the Hydro Electric Power Commission of On- tario this fall to avert a serious shortage of power, an' informed source has declared here. Demand for power is increasing at four times the normal rate, this source said, and the commission is faced with the possibility of a shortage unless waste use at peak | hours is eliminated. A three-months' survey has been completed for power loads in every municipality and a "staggered de- mand" program is being prepared to eliminate the possibility of a more serious curtainment scheme. One cause of the greater power demand is the increased sale of el- ectric heaters due to. anticipated shortages of coal and oil for domes- tic use. Another major factor in the growing demand is the rapid development of industrial plants. The proposed form fis to ask housewives and manufacturers to draw on power supply at different hours so as not to make any furth- er demands on the existing 11 am. and 4 p.m. peak hours. It is undarstood the commission will present a detailed report to | the Ontario government shortly and and announcement is expected withi 10 days. Paraguay Forces Battle at Gates Of Asuncion Buenos' Aires, Aug. 16 (AP)--The Paraguayan government maintain- {ed today that its united forces de- | fending the capital Asuncion, had | insurgents on the run.

(On the other hand, the insur- gent radio was quoted in dispatch- es from Brazil as reporting the rebels had occupied Lambare and Villa Morra on Asuncion's edge and were pushing into the capital. (The radio said, hese dispatches reported, that government fliers all had thrown their planes in with the insurgent. air force and that that force now had air supremacy over Asuncion and was bombing the government palace, military school and other military targets.)
