The Souris 2nd, under command of Capt. Johnny Outhouse, has a crew of four. and has been fishing in the waters of the Gulf of st Lawrence.

Under former methods of fish- ing from smaller boats the usual catch landed ranged from 400 to 1,200 pounds per trip.

In addition to the Souris 2nd another dragger, Paula Marie. has also gone out from Sourie to the grounds. A third one. the Mary Belle, is expected to begin operat- ions early next month while a

Murray Harbor area. is also ex- pected to soul out of souris when the lobster season ends.

The recent catch of the semis find consisted of 49,000 pounds of flounders, with the balance being made up of hairs and cod.

Soviet Charges Add Fuel To Swedish Anger

The tempo of Swedish anger and anti-soviet demonstrations here already had quickencd when the Russian claim was made on the Moscow radio. The Swedish Gov- ernment ordered its air-sea forces to shoot back at any further Soviet attacks.

The government at a special semion during the day decided to shore up Swedish preparedness against air attack.

Gen. Nils Swedlund, Swedish commander-in-chief, attended and was told to take action in accord- ance with the decision. No details were disclosed .but military circles said it would not result in calling up reserves.

The government has stated the Swedish plane -was unarmed and on a mercy mission searching for another Swedish plane ' i the Baltic and believed to be an- other victim of the Russian Jets.

NEW YORK, June 1': --(AP)-- The big potato shortage of 1962 has passed in-to history. An Associated Preu survey found spuds plentiful today in markets from coast to coast. Pric- es in many places dropped as low as one-third from the highs reach- ed soon after potato price ceilings were suspended about two weeks ago. In New York, Chicago and sev- eral other cities. wholesale prices already are back at or near the old ceilings. A retail food chain is selling five pounds of potatoes for m cents-compared with 46'cenis last week-end and its average ceil- ing of 30 cents two weeks ago.

some dealers said the price cut- ting isn't over yet. An Agriculture Department market reporter in New York predicted it might be another week before prices level off and become stable. This view is not unanimous, however.

"The excitement's over. there's plenty of good potatoes for every- body and prices generally have

Power lines were disrupted. sewers loaded, trees and branches toppled and several fires started at the height of the storm, which broke in mid- afternoon.

The Mociiil University Mete- orology Department estimated 1.20 inches of rain fell during the 90-minute storm.

Electricity failed on the south-shore of the St. Law- rence River between St. Lam- bert and Longueuil. In both centres entire sections of side- walk were under water. At Brosseau station, near st.

Fire and police department radio communication went dead. Radio taxis reported un- controllable static. and four of the five Montreal radio stat- ions were forced to leave the air

Of Potato

Shortage In The U. S. A.

seasonally-normal level," said Fred H. Vahlsing Jr., of New York one of the countryis biggest produce shippers.

The shortage that had kept po- tato bins almost empty for months began after farmers sharply reduc- ed their potato acreage when the government abandoned its potato price supporting last year. Unfav- orable weather in growing areas delayed crops, too.

Then the Office of Price Slabi1i- zation slapped ccilings on potatoes. Black markets and tie-in selling practices (requiring a buyer to purchase unwanted vegetables for the privilege of getting spuds) de- veloped in the scramble for the tight supplies. '

When the price conlrosl were dropped early this month, legal prices soared-to the highest levels in more than a quarter-cen- tury in some markets. Growers rushed to get their crops out of the ground and take advantage oi the high prices. Behind-schedule crops began to mature at about the same time. The result: sudden

NEW YORK, June 1'7 -(AP) - A two-day strike of Long Island Railroad engineers was settled to- day. after it stranded 150,000 com- muters' in one of the worst trans- portation tle-ups in New York history.

The 350 striking engineers and motormen on the country's busi- est passenger linc agreed to return to wot-le during the evening. Full service was expected in time for the morning rush hour.

A colossal traffic jam resulted Monday as commuters scrambled into the city by highway. bus and subway. It was intensified today,

On top of everything else, an early morning pea soup fog made driving I tricky matter on packed parkways between Manhattan and Long Island. And the season's most humid day added to the woes of sweltering mobs crammed in record numbers into subways and buses.

The strike settlement came too late to save the city one of the worst subway crushes in history at the home-going rush hour.

Peace talks between the railroad and the union broke down last night. But federal mediator Ross Barr got the two sides back to- gether again this afternoon.

The truce agreement was signed jointly by William wyer, a federal court trustee for the L. I. R. R, and M. E. McMahon. general man- ager of the Brotherhood.

Wages were not a strike issue. The engineers objected to rules changes under a National Railway strike settlement of last May. They claimed the changes threatened their seniority and their Jobs.

Prairie Group Presents Views To Government

OTDAWA. June 17 -(OP) -The Interprovincial Farm Union Coun- cil, fearing the possibility of an agricultural crisis in Canada, to- night urged the government to promote barter deals, if necessary. to overcome food surpluses.

The council represents

farmer

and Alberta. fts views were given the Commons agriculture commit- tee in a brief read by J. L. Phelps. council chairman and president of the Saskatchewan Farmers Union.

The brief described federal floor prices as inadequate and proposed that domestic and export prices for Canadian foodstuffs be separ- ated and that domestic prices be linked to the rise and fall of the cost of living.

It said that a "combination of circumstances" is bringing chaos to ithe food industry. some livestock men were facing bankruptcy. Dairy herds were being depleted because of lack of incentive to maintain them.

Fear Depression

"We are concerned to note." it continued, "that a section of our basic industry, that of agriculture. is facing what could easily develop into an agricultural depression, even in the midst of the so-called industrial boom."

The brief suggested these meas- ures as part of a 10-point plan to bring .stability to agriculture:

1. Development of an emergency program for livestock marketing, including creation of a national marketing board. with producer representation, and separation of domestic and export prices for food products.

2. Separation of the domestic and international price of Canad- ian wheat, with the domestic price hinged to price changes in produc- tion costs. Currently. the domestic price is the same as the uiternats ionai. Trade Minister Howe has declined to create a twp-price system.

An urgent request for a ten-day extension of the present lobster season in view of adverse weath- er conditions has been made by the Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federation in a telegram sent yesterday to the Hon. R. W. May- liew, Minister of Fisheries at Ot- wn.

Following is the text of the mes- sage, which is signed by the Fed- eration's secretary, Mr. A. Walthen Gaudet:

"While acknowledging the great need of conservation in the lob- ster fishing industry, yet this Federation feels forced to point out that present season hero def- initely an abnormal one due to adverse weather and ice conditions during a large part of May and June resulting in losses of up to 50 per cent of gear by North Shore fishermen and up to 25 per cent by South shore fishermen. Ac- cordingly catch down proportion- ately and net returns to fisher- men such that extreme hardship faces majority of them. Urgent- ly request ten day extension of season here to help alleviate these conditions. Your immediate at- tention to this matter and an early reply would be greatly appreciat- ed by the fishing industry of this Province."

Copies of the telegram, with a request for support and co-oper- ation, have been sent to all the Island members of Parliament, also to Hon. Eugene Cullen, Pro- vincial Minister of Industry and Resources, Mr. Gordon O'Brien, manager, Fisheries Council of Canada; Mr. E. D. Fraser, Chief Supervisor of Fisheries, Halifax. and Mr. J. J. Larabce, regional protection officer, Department of Fisheries, Charlottetown.
