Puzzled The Daily Sketch--The battle for power is raging between Malenkov as leader of the managerial middle class and his No. 2 man, deputy premier Laurenti Beria, as cham- pion of the labor man. ily Mail--Malenkov has gime and wipe the slate clean at home and abroad. The Daily Telegraph--The pris- | ¢ oner amnesty may mean Stalin's successors the Russian people "with a looser rein." The Times--Somebody cooked up the now-discredited "doctors' plot' for a purpose, 'but Stalin died be- fore the purpose had fully unfolded and now perhaps it never will." The News Chronicle came right out and admitted it has no idea what is going on behind the 12- foot-thick w. of the Kremlin. In a front-page open letter to Malen- kov it urged him to let the world in on the secret. "If there is a new policy of con- ciliation and accommodation, would not it help a lot to say so?" asked the paper, adding, '"'who can say so but you?" The letter said the whole thing so far is like watching a Russan movie with no English subtitles. Scotland Yard Speculates 'Moon Mad' Girl Died In 1946 LONDON (Reuters) -- Police to- day announced one of the six vic- of London's "moon-mad" sex y r is believed to be a blonde egian girl who frequented the : er house in 1946. Scotland Yard 'bone specialists' have been carefully studying two skeletons dug up from the back- ard of the shabby, three-storey se in west London where the killer hid three women's bodies in A. Closet and a fourth under the I. "They said the jaw bone of one of the six Jomals victims is of the "Scandinavian racial type." They cabled descriptions of the skeleton to police in Norway, Sweden and Denmark in the hope of getting | her identified. The four rotting bodies found in the rooming house in a dead-end street have been identified, but the victims whose bones were un- earthed in the yard remain name- less. Detectives last week recon- structed human skeletons from the piles of assorted bones dug up in the yard. Police also believe the "Scan- dinavian'"' may have been the first victim of the strangler, who ap- parently killed the women under mental derangement brought on by the full moon. John Christie, 55, was seized by Big Blast Kills 43, ° 500 Hurt TAIPEH, Formosa (AP)-- An ammunition dump five miles south of here exploded with an earthquake-like jolt today, killing 43 persons and injuring an estimated 500. The blast took place as workmen were removing explosive, intended or blasting Durposes, from old y oil next to the dump col- lapsed like a house of cards. Farmhouses in the vicinity were levelled. / The explosion shook Taipeh as earthquake. Seven of the dead were factory employees. : e disaster was the worst of its kind since the ammunition ship, the Chungli, blew up in Kaohsiung harbor in the summer of 1949, killing more than 100 persons. Cool Weather Greets Easter From Vancouver to Halifax, Ca- nadians drove out of the cities into the country districts over the East- er week end. Vancouver reported a big exodus south to Seat- tle. Boats, planes and trains were all jammed. At Ottawa, intermittent showers dampened paraders' enthusiasm. Parliament Buildings drew crowds and more than 1,500 persons visited the Hall of Fame and the Peace Tower. Six sunrise services were held in the Vancouver area and there were two big Easter egg hunts. A cold wind swept 'Toronto. Thousands of girls walked along Sunnyside boardwalk in their latest fashions--but the men kept close to, restaurants and hot coffee. Man Missing As Fires Hit Two Hotels FORT FRANCES (CP)--Arson is suspected in two fires of unknown origin that broke out in Fort Fran- ces hotels early Sunday. One man is missing. ' The three-storey, 41-room Em- peror Hotel was gutted but a small blaze in the was of the Fort Frances Hotel was quickly extin- guished. All available fire appara- tus had barely left for the Emperor e when the call came in for the other hotel blaze. Quick action by police and fire- men working with the two owners of the Emperor roused the guests. But one man was still missing after the blaze was extinguished. search of the burned-out rooms failed fo reveal any trace of the man, registered as Bert Snow, ad- dress unknown. It was not known if he was in the building when the fire started. Firemen, said: the blaze in the Emperor originated in a linen closet and had a good start before it was reported by a passer-by who saw flames belching from the up- per storey.

(CP)--A bottle of gasoline was tossed through the window of an Indian home Satur- day night and five persons were killed when it exploded on a hot stove. Police arrested an Indian whose wife and child were among the victims. A six-year-old boy, Gary Bow Bear, was burned to death in the house, on the nearby Blackfoot Indian reserve, when the bottle ex- ploded. Four others died from burns in hospital Sunday. There was only one survivor. Police arrested Alex Standing-at- the-Door, about 35. They ssid they believe Standing-at-the-Doar's, 26- year-old wife had refused to let him in the house, The bottle was thrown through the window shortly after the argument. Bottles of gasoline are kept in front of homes on this southern Alberta reserve for filling lamps. Gasoline 'Bomb' Kills Five i After Husband-Wife Fight Dead are: Mrs. Standing-at-the- r; her six-year-old son, Clif- ford; Mrs. Ben Ironhead, 65; Mrs. Joe Little Chief, 50; and her adopted son, Gary Bow Bear. e three-room frame house, owned by Joe Little Chief, was located near Giuny, about 15 miles west of here and about 70 miles southeast of Calgary. Mrs. Clarisse Tallow was the lone survivor. The others were critic- ally burned and unconscious--most of their clothing burned from their bodies--when taken to hospital by a passerby. The nearest neighbor to the gut- ted house, Anthony Pretty Face, ran from his home when he heard the explosion, but the house, 20 yards away, was already enveloped in flames. As the victims staggered from the building, neighbors bundled them in blankets. Daylight Atomic Blast Tests Flying Monkeys servers looked high in the air, as if it might have been dropped from 8 plane. Previous tests this spring have all been of devices set off from 300-foot steel towers. Despite a ground haze, the fam- iliar white 'cloud started forming within three minutes. It was: high in the air and grew rapidly, a con- trast to last week's small fluffy cloud, one of the smallest yet noted here. : Observers noted many Jisnes in the air before the flash. U. 8. Air Force has said it might have as many as 74 craft aloft at one time. The shock wave--with more strength than noted here yet this spring--was felt clearly at 7:37 a. m. As usual the atomic energy com- mission wouldn't discuss the of weapon it is testing, but it did disclose plans for carrying anim- als through the atomic cloud by plane. Mice and monkeys were used in earlier blasts thig year, but how they withstood radiation on the ground was not made public. Today, the AEC said, two pllot- less A jet drones, each carry- ing 60 mice and two monkeys for bio-medical research, were to fly through the cloud, guided by radar. Another test of automobiles--do- nated to the federal civil defence administration by dealers and manufacturers throughout the country--also was scheduled today. CCF PLATFORM tion on two main planks--interna- tional problems and "a mastery of the whole economy." Delegates to the party's 19th an- nual provincial convention heard their leader, E. B. Jolliffe, say the time has come for the party to shift its emphasis away from wel- fare problems because Canada has reached a reliatively high standard of living.

All her the surface. sound, main n since the Regina manifesto was first framed. One of the 10 major national campaign planks outlined at the Easter-weekend convention was a demand for national health insur- ance. Delegates also asked for an extension of existing social secur- ity program and higher rates for old age pensions and family allow- ances. Other' points on which the CCF will fight the next election are: A demand for an end to discrimina- tion in freight rates; 100,000 new {homes a year and low rental hous- 'ing; Canadian leadership for peace to eliminate the hunger and pov- erty on which communism thrives; support of collective security and the United Nations; parity prices for primary producers; marketing agencies for farm and fish prod- ucts; expansion of overseas mar- kets, and reduced taxes on low in- comes, higher taxes on carpora- tions and excess profits. The convention also noted that the Social Credit party may be- come 2a political force in the next election.

The convention also: Decided to have its national research com- mittee prepare the case for and against the nationalization of banks; criticized the practice of cutting unemployment insurance benefits when jobless workers are taken ill; charged that corpora- tions "buy" contracts from govern- ments by giving large sums of money to campaign funds; and went on record in favor of the sale of colored margarine in On- tario, - The party promised that when in power it would set up a "depart- ment of co-operatives." Other res- olutions affected rent controls, min- imum wages and the sale of land for cemetery plots. The decision to consider national- ization of Canadian banks came after several delegates said they felt that there are adequate safe- guards in existence because of the power held by the Bank of Canada, CCF SAYS STAR DISTORTS FACTS TORONTO (CP)--The CCF Ontario convention Saturday passed a resolution condemning the Toronto Daily Star for "a thoroughly distorted report" of provincial leader E, B, Jolliffe's convention speech Friday, Speakers criticized a headline which read: "Jolliffe tells CCF to change, Liberals so advanc- ed." National Health Insurance In 10 Major Campaign Offers the government's central bank. The convention said the national defence department has been "whitewashed" and demanded a royal commission to investigate it. A rigid enforcement of the Crim- inal Code provision which makes it an offence for a person or corpora- tion to contribute to a political campaign while holding a contract with a government was called for by delegates. , The meeting asked that this be investigated by a House of Com- mons all-party committee and that it be given full publicity. Although it endorsed a resolu- tion favoring the sale of colored margarine in Ontario, the conven- tion asked for a public inquiry into the problems of competing edible oils and dairy products. It also said it would regulate such products and assure the farmer of stable markets. The lifting of rent controls March 31, 1954, was criticized in a reso- lution which warned that the re- sult will be great hardship to fam- ilies with children and bring about confusion and injustice. Municipali- ties, the resolution said, have nei- ther the funds nor the facilities to administer rent control themselves. The convention demanded a 73- cent minimum hourly wage in On- tario. Delegates were told that there is no minimum wage legisla- tion for men and the minimum for women ranges from $11.50 a week in rural areas to $16.80 in cities. Delegates asked the provincial government to protect Ontario citi- zens from 'free ente rprise sharks" by 'limiting the cost of cemetery plots and by requiring that up to 50 per cent of the sale price be set aside for perpetual care. tyPe| the light of past events.

The premier made the statement in a nation-wide broadcast on his embittered relations with the Iran- ian monarch. Mossadegh pledged his loyalty to the shah and the present con- stitution. But he added: J "In constitutional monarchies, the sovereign has no responsibility to govern. The shah should reign and not rule." He appealed to the Majlis (lower House of Parliament) to approve a committee report recommending Mossadegh Denies Plan To Oust Sha that the shah must steer clear of any conduct of state affairs. This, he said, would remove all differ- ences between the court and the government.
