Thus United Nations forces hounded the heels of Communists pulling back all along the western and west-central fronts. U. 8. Eighth Army officers cautioned against calling it a rout.

Eighth Army kept a wary eye on Reds trying to exploit gains made through a hole in Allied lines be- tween soksa and Pungnam, iii air miles inland from Korea's east coast.

Reinforcements were rushed to plug the hole on the right flank of the U. S. 2nd Division, which shat- tered the initial phase of the Chin- ese and Korean Red second spring offensive last week.

The 2nd Division hurled back several Chinese attacks Tuesday. Red losses. already reckoned in the tens of thousands in that sector alone, again were reported heavy.

Prime Mi-n-isier. Says Measure . May Be Dropped

Draw Ref-cTr-sf To P.E.l. Election Campaign During Debate.

O'l'1'AWA. May 22- (CP) - Three parties united in an un- usual vote tonight to sustain a ruling by the Commons' Speaker which George Drew. Progressive Conservative leader, contended would set a dangerous and un- democratic precedent threatening to throttle House debate on im- portnnt matters.

The vote marked only the sec- ond appeal in two years from a ruling made by the popular law- yer-speaker Ross Macdonaid of Brantford. Ont. Few Speakers have had their rulings so reg- ularly ncccpied by the House.

Mr. Mncdonnld ruled out of order a Progressive Conservative motion by E. D. Fulton (PC-Kam- loops) opposing further Federal consideration of any plan to get a constitutional amendment to allow the Provinces to impose an indirect sales tax of up to three per cent.

Mr. Drew Forces Vote

Mr. Drew objected and forced a vote. Liberal, C.C.l-'. and Social Credit members with the excep-' tlon of Joseph Noseworthy (CCF- York- South) supported the Speaker and crushed the appeal

Before the vote. Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent indicated he thinks the plan isn't going to

get us far as Parliament anyway because the Provinces don't ap- pear to be able to agree to make a unanimous request that such an amendment be launched.

The Prime Minister took the motion as a want-of-confidence motion affecting the continued rule of his Government and call-

ll. N. Troops Have Deadly flame-Thrower

By Ross Mark SOMEWHERE IN KOREA. May 22 - (Reuters) - United Nations troops are burning up the Communists with a deadly new flame-thrower, perfected only a few days before the Chi- nese opened their last offensive. The weapon is believed to be the ground forces' development of the napalm (jellled gasoline) bomb which the Air Force has used throughout the Korean campaign with so much effect. I watched it in action. An American commander gave the order "fire" and 10 Chinese ad- vancing towards American de- fences in the Pukhan valley disappeared in a searing mass of flames.

The fla-mes roared 200 feet into the air and enveloped 100 square yards. A great cloud of smoke rolled over the area. No sign of the Chinese remained on the devastated patch of ground.

TEHRAN. May 22 - (AP) About 30,000 Iranians waving Moslem religious banners. booed the United States and Britain today at a. demonstration threatening a holy war if necessary to national- ize oil.

The crowd went into a frenzy when the black-bearded. black- turbaned Chains Ghanatabadi. leader of the militant Mujaheddln Islam (Fighters for Islam) said:

"All loyal Moslems will throw the British bandits into the Persian Gulf if they do not leave the coun- try."

Another speaker. l-lossein Makki, said a recent statement by the U. 5. state Department, which tht Iranians regard as backing the British stand against nationaliza- tion. was "a stab in the back of the Iranian nation."

At an earlier rally. leftists called for the death of Premier Mohammad Mossade it who has locked himself in his Parlia- ment building chambers since May 14. The leftists engaged in a flurry of flat fights with Mossadegh supporters who shouted "Long live "ossadegh."

Police and army officials were on

24-hour alert in the capital.

The mass meeting called by Mos- lem leaders and Mossadegh's na- tional bloc cheered a resolution which declar "strong hatred" of the U. S. and ritain.

This was the latest move to build up pressure to over-ride any Brit- ish resistance to Government seiz- ure of the British-owned Anglo- Iranian Oil Company, its Abadan refinery, the biggest in the world. and the oil fields where it operates.

Although the law nationalising the company was enacted more than three weeks ago, the govern- ment has given no practical hint of how it plans to carry it out.

Drops Threat of Form

(In London. informed sources said Britain has yielded to Ameri- can pressure and dropped any im- mediate threat of using force in the dispute. It was reported Brit- ain also has promised to consult fully with the t1.S. before deciding to send troops to Iran even to pro- tect British lives and property.)

The leftist demonstration was the first public attack on Mossa- degh, who fainted 10 days ago af- ter an emotional appeal to Pat'- liament for speedy nationalization of Iran's oil wealth.

Newlncome Tax Schedules Ready

OTTAWA. May 22 -(CP) - new in- come-tax rates go into effect, em- ployees will pay nearly all of their income tax through deductions at source.

Previously. the Government coi-

the income tax by employer de- ductions. This percentage will move up to more than 97 per cent and in many cases. 100 per cent.

New schedules-some 300,000- have gone out to district income tax offices for distribution to em- ployees. The tables incorporate the new 20-per-cent "defence sur- charge," the tax increase an- nounccd by Finance Minister Ab- bott in his recent budget. They show the amount the employer must deduct from employees.

Employees making an even num- ber of dollars a week. for ex- ample, will pay 100 per cent at source. However. an employee making 550.75 will pay 97 or 98 per cent of his tax in this way.

For many taxpayers, it will mean a clear nscience next April Their tax will be paid up.

Poplar Grove: House Damaged At 0ll'..eas-y

The first electric storm of the season in Prince County caused the destruction of a barn yester- day and damaged a house.

At Poplar Grove. five miles from Tyne Valley. the new barn of Ed- mund Dawson was burned, with less estimated at approximately 34,000. partially covered by insur- ance. The barn had been built about two years ago.

In 0'Leary a house owned by Mr. Wilfred Brooks was struck and damaged but. was not set on

fire. No one was at home at the time. The clecfrlc light meter was reported to have been burned out and the chimney damaged. some damage was caused also to the walls of the building.

The storm occurred in the late afternoon and was reported to have been very severe. At. Tignish the lightning was not heavy but torrential rain fell. Aiberlon re- ported hcavy lightning with par- ticularly heavy rain about 6 0'-l clock.

There was no lightning and no' rain at summerside.

The Dawson barn at Poplar Grove was set afire about 4.30. Neighbors gathered quickly and helped save 14 pigs and several calves, as well as farm machinery. 1-iowever..1o tons of hay. some 600 bushels of seed oats and a quant- ity of fertilizer. said to be at least five tons. was all destroyed.

The Tyne Valley Fire Depart- ment responded to a call and helped prevent the fire spreading to other buildings.
