Potato Dealers Report On

Current Mark

in response to nume jl-requests for comment on the Dlf - potato market. the P, 3. Isllll Potato and Turnip Dealers Association have prepared the following report ll'0lll sources usually deemed re- llflblc.

"The potato market across the continent is slowly recovering from the shock it received when the De- camber crop report was issued in Washington on December 17. with tho details of the increase now issued to the trade it turns out that the increase is very largely in the Pacific coast areas. and is the result of a change in last years report and a corresponding increase in ihe I954 estimates on the new basis. The 11.5. -is still short 25 million bushels of potatoes com- pared to last year. and. in addition the heavy cullage In Maine and the Red River Valley is bound to reflect on the market sooner or later.

"it should also be remembered ilirir. the Canadian crop is down 11 million bushels. Ind the movement of previous years of table potatoes to the south is now reversed and at many points us. potatoes are moving North into Canada. All of which should indicate that P.E.I will profit most if the growers will move a portion of their crop each month for the next five months. thus supplying the demand for our potatoes but not crowding the mar- ket at any one period.

ent offered price on 70's of 1.00 Toronto will allow .85 per bu. to the grower here. This price does not give us the premium over Maine and New Brunswick pota- toes that we previously had, an our good quality this year shoud re-establish this premium.

nmxmmv. Calif. (AP) -Dfs- covery of a mysterious system of

growth was described Monday to the American Association for the Advance of science.

Each organ of the body-blood iystem, kidney. liver and others- apparently produce these brakes. Each organ makes brakes which act only upon cells of that organ, not upon any others.

The brakes go to work to halt growth of the organ at a certain time. But they can also be re- leased to permit new growth after an injury or damage calling for new growth.

Dr., Paul Weiss of the Rocker- feller ,In.stlvute for Medical Re- search, New York. described the new evidence at a. symposium touching upon mysteries of normal and abnormal growth. -which in- cludes cancer.

TINY MOLECULE!

The brakes are apparently tiny molecules which the cells oi an organ make. and then release into the blood stream or lymph fluid. They circulate. anl can coarse back inside the cells of that organ. -There.

The premier won a vote of con- fidence from the National As- sembly by a margin of 209 votes to 251 on the question of admitting Germany to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and scored an- other success when ” ts with- drew an amendment delaying im- plementation of the treaties.

Then he asked the assembly! foreign affairs committee for per- mimlon to resubmit the key pro- posal providing German rearrna- ment within the framework of the Western European Union-the pro- posal which was defeated in the assembly last Friday, bringing on the series of confidence votes by which the premier hopes to force through approval of the treaties. EEJI-JCT PROPOSAL

Meeting early today. the com- mlttee rejected lllle proposal for resubmission of the WEU clause by is vote of 20 to 19 with two ab- stentions. That forced Mendes- France to ask the full assembly to reverse the committee's decision.

That meant an automatic 24- hour delay as assembly rules re- quire 8 day to elapse before a. pro- posal can be voted on,

If the assembly approves second reading of the WEU proposal. an- other day must pass before the vote on the proposal itself.

I Mendes-France. In an eleventh- hour appeal before Monday night's first vote, asked the assembly to maintain Western unity. To those who want talks with Russia before ratification. he said rejection of the treaties would make such si conference more difficult than ever.

CHICAGO (AP)-American mo- torists set a ghastly record during the Christmas weekend. exceeding the pre-holiday prediction of the number of deaths that would occur in traffic accidents.

Of the-514 persons who died vi- olently during the weekend. 391 were traffic victims. Both figures were records for a.-two-day holiday period.

While automobiles accounted for the great majority of accident vic-' tims, 63 persons died in fires dur- ing the 64-hour. two-day period. Fails, bullets, drownlngs and mis- cellaneous mishaps accounted for 60 others.

One fire which lashed out when kerosene was splashed in a wood stove took 12 lives at Parkin. Ark.

The National Safety Council es- timated several days before the holiday that 870 persons would be killed in traffic.

SHOCKING TOLL

Ned Hf. Dearborn. president of the council. said "certainly there must be a better way for a civil- ized nation to spend Christmas than by killing more than 500 in- nocent people on the highways and In their own homes.

New meetings with Britain and the United states on this subject are no longer possible, he empha- sired.

QUESTION OF CONDITIONS

The premier said France was not in a position to oppose the "sen- timentally painful” issue of Ger- man rear-moment - the qumtlon was only under what conditions of control and guarantee it should take place. He said France would cut itself off from its Allies if it rejected the agreements.

He warned the deputies it would be an "uniparadonablc and irretriev- able error" to throw away Brit- ain's pledge to maintain a strons force of troops on the Continent for the rest of the century if the agreements are ratified. An ad- verse vote would also jeopardize the long-sought agreement on the sear.
