While t e Minister was making a statement on the strike situation officials of his Department were busy drafting details of an order providing for Government control of Inks: shipping and there was general expectation that it would go before the Cabinet for final ap- proval tomorrow.

Seeks Shelter In Egyptian Palace

CAIRO, June 20— (Thursday1—- (AP)—-King Farouk of Egypt B11- nounced today that he had receiv- ed the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who had asked for sanctuary.

A communique issued at Abdin Palace said that at 8 p.m- T008118)’ (2 p.m. E.D.T.—3 p.m. A.D.T.) the Grand Mufti Haj Mohammad Amm El Husselni (abo/ve) "called at the aiace. signed the royal visitors books and asked for an audience from King Farouk." ,

"The audience was granted,’ the communique continued. “and thc Mufti told the King: "1 have taken refuge in your palace.”

A high reliable source. who de- cliried to be quoted by name. said Egypt 35k lllryw the Mufti.

'Whereabouts of the Mufti, the spiritual leader of Palestine Arabs. had been the subject of widespread speculation since he fled from his place of exile in a Paris suburb May 20.

Efforts were made to locate him

in various places in the Midillc East. Last Friday and Saturday he was the object of an unsuccessful search by the Bri-iish Navy and Palestinian Police aboard the Bri- tish transport Devonshlrc off Port Said. The prevailing opinion in Cairo is that the Mufti cscalped from France to Egypt by plane, how- ever, tho circumstances surround- I-ng his mysterious escape still have not. been fully explained.

The 53-year-old Mufti is an im- placablo foe of Jewish immigration into the Holy Land. His flight fro-m Paris,came at a time when rcp- rescntatives of the Arab States were discussing methods of oppos- lng the British American Inquiry Committee's recommendation for the immigration of 100,000 Jews into Palestine.

The Mufti fled Palestine in 1037 under pressure from Britain. Dur- ing the war British authorities accused him of making broadcasts for the Germans.

Suggests Prize For .l.iterature

OTTAWA, June l0—(OP)—-Sen- ator Athanaae David (Ir-Quebec) urged 1n the Senate today that Canada establish a prize to en- courage native literature.

Senator David was Provincial Secretary of Quebec when its lit- igigy award was inaugurated in

He was speaking in his owns motion that the Senate urBe the Government to faster production of literary, scientific, economic and social works in Can- ado. The motion was curried.

Senator David said two wars huLl largely ruined the prospects of two generations contributing to 1.11611‘ utmost in these fields.

He held that the "voice and sen- timents" of those who fought in those wars should bulk large in selection of a national flag, an is- sue now before Parliament.

Literature was “a most beauti- IDINQXDFGBSYIOII of humanity and civilisation.’ In this period of re- habilitation, the mouidors of the mentality of the people shculrl not be forgotten.

"Give me good writers, give mo 800d readers and I'll give you a good country."

There was “a growing national sentiment in Canada which de- mands expression. When Canadians learn that money-making is not the most important thE-ng in life, their native writers will have a fit n 1d- fence."

The Province of Quebec had re- cozntzed the desirability of foster- ing literature sc-me years ago, Pre- war books published in Montreal were doing well at 1,000 sales. Cur- rent editions sometimes reached 8.000.

A_nat1onai prize would inspire ambition and iiniiiatl-vo among Can- adian authors. It could be offered 1°!‘ In)’ work of a literary xiature.
