The men are part of a group of over 3000 in Ontario and Quebec who have walked out in protest against increased use of piggy-back rail services in which truck trailers are loaded on flatcars for trans- port between large cities. The men above are taking part in the wildcat walkout against Smith Transport Ltd., one of SERN many users of the warehouse. Similar walkouts occurred over the weekend at five Oshawa trucking firms. H. Booth, super- visor of the sufferance ware- house, said today, "Any carrier can pick up or clear goods here regardless of any picket line."

Since Canadian auto buyers generally earned less than those in the U.S., Canada was a more natural market for the small car.

The Maharaja of Benares placed a garland around his neck and senior government officials of Uttar Pradesh state welcomed him during a four-hour stop-over to change trains. The 23-year-old god king met the chief priest, the head lama|* and other local Buddhist monks before taking tea at the Sarnath guest house and offering prayers at the Buddhist shrine. From Dehra Dun, the Dalai Lama will drive 22 miles to Mus- soorie to complete his month-long flight from the Tibetan canital of Lhasa, where Chinese. Commu- nist troops moved to crush an anti-Communist revolt which still is flaring.
