TWENTY PAGES OSHAWA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1959 A 1 Vol. 88--No. 280 ' Prairies - Warmer, East Cold | Canada's weather picture is a little topsy-turvy. It's as warm on the prairies as it is in the East. In some western points it's even warmer. Prairies temperatures today were expected to range from 40 to 50 degrees above zero in Al- berta and western Saskatchewan and to about 35 in Manitoba. Higs in the [East were pected to be around 35 to 38 in Southern Ontario, 25 to 30 in the North, and from 25 to 30 degrees in Quebec. It was cold in the Maritimes, where the mercury Tuesday was in the 20s. Little change was ex- pected today. Free Voting In Algeria Before UN UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP) The Asian-African group was ex- pected to ask the United Nations assembly today to call for guar- antees for free elections in Al- geria. The 29 - country group ham- mered out a draft resolution after two days of closed talks on the Algerian rebellion now being debated in the assembly's 82- member political committee. Prince Aly Khan of Pakistan, chairman of the Asian-African group, told reporters the resolu- tion would be mild in tone, urg- ing both sides to get together. He indicated, however, that it would make specific mention of guaran- tees for Algeria's political future as well as the cease-fire nego- ex- tiations France already has of- were reported killed Tuesday as| fered to hold.

Ice Hinders Seaway Locks MONTREAL (CP) -- Six more ocean - bound freighters slipped through the St. Lawrence Seaway Tuesday night as winter weather started to encrust locks with ice. Compressors were brought into use for the first time to close the gates against the ice and ships approaching the seaway exit--the St. Lambert Lock -- crunched through thin shell ice that was spreading over the quiet waters. Fourteen ships are still heading for the exit and the open water of the St. Lawrence River below Montreal. A seaway official said 'if the weather holds out another 24 hours there should be no trou- ble at all." Light snow was falling. in Mont- real early today but the forecast called for milder weather. Seawav officials expected to get all the deep-sea vessels into Montreal harbor by tonight. TUGS, SHIP ARRIVE An unheralded latecomer, the erippled Norwegian freight Salt- vik, arrived in the company of two salvage tugs. She had been delayed in Port Colborne by elec- trical trouble. . Seaway officials said several requests had been received to keep the system open a litle longer. One had come from agents for the Norwegian freighter Vilja, aground near Brockville, Tugs failed to free the Vilja Tuesday. The St. Lawrence Seaway au- thority said Tuesday it would help inland vessels to pass through the seaway provided they reached the St. Lambert lock, if moving upstream, or the Iro- quois lock, if downstream, by midnight Tuesday.

Longshoremen Near Contract | NEW YORK (AP) -- Tentative {agreement has been reached on a new contract covering most |longshoremen on, the United |States Atlantic coast. The pact is expected to prevent any new pier strike on the At- lantic and Gulf coasts when an 8t-day injunction under the Taft- Hartley labor law expires Dec, 27. Basic agreement on three-year contracts was reached Tuesday by the International Longshore- men's Association and a major group of waterfront employers. The injunction now in effect ended an eight-day strike by 85;- 000 Atlantic and Gulf coast dock workers that began when the old contract expired Sept. 30.

Authoritative sources said the governor portrays Vice-President Richard M. Nixon as the favor- ite of the business community and Republican newspapers and rejects the idea that the deserip- tion fits Rockefeller. The governor has met with many businessmen and come away with the idea: that most of them considered him too liberal, especially in his proposals for long-range , planning of national goals. Rockefeller believes that many of 'the business leaders feel such planning smacks of the New Deal under the late President Frank- lin D. Roosevelt and his suc- cessor Harry S.

Asked about press rts of a "strained atmosphere" in his talks here Tuesday, he replied: "The atmosphere was as good yesterday as it was today--unless you are referring to the fact that yesterday at the Hotel Matignon (the 'premier's office) people smoked, and today at the Elysee Palace (de Gaulle's office) noe body smoked." 6 Ontario Breas Vote | --the role of France as an atomic power and integration of NATO forces.
