Explains why Order Issued

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 -(AP! .- President Truman said today he issued his hotly-disputed se- curity order because a survey showed that "the newspapers and slick magazines" had pub- lished 06 per cent of the United States' secret information.

life said this is what he is try- ing to stop. He dlisavowed any effort at censorship. said he hates it. and has no desire to curb freedom of the press.

Truman defended the order re- stricting the release of official in- formation in a lengthy statement read to a press conference.

During the question period. Truman said publishers have I responsibility not to print in- fonnation that might help an encmy'even though it has been cleared by a government agency.

MONCTON. N. 3.. Oct. 4-(CP) -Fire tonight destroyed the Maritime district offices of the Department of Transport at near- by Lakeburn, causing damage estimated at close to 81,500,000.

A two-storey 600 by 300-foot wood structure. the building oc- cupied in wartime by Clark Ruse Aircraft, Ltd, was a total loss. Records kept by the department and described by officials as irreplaceable were lost in the flames.

The fire broke out a few min- utes after the 100 department employees had left for the day. A small working force of airway traffic control employees were almost cut off by the rapidly spreading flames. They escaped by leaping from second storey windows.

Officials were particularly con- cerned over loss of the records and stocks of radio communica- tions equipment stored in the building for airports in the Mari- time Provinces.

It was estimated that com- munications equipment lost would run close of 0500.000. Also lost were several automobiles trucks belonging to the depart- mcnt.

The building also partially completed waiting room for trans-Atlantic air passengers. Equipment and materials to have been used in completing the waiting room also were lost.

Radio communlcationaw equip- ment used by Airway Traffic Control to control flying in the Maritime -Provinces was lost- Trans-Canada Air Lines, which operates from Moncton airport was able to carry on operations with emergepcy equipment. Other airlines were without control fa-

The Transport Department planned to carry on its work in temporary quarters in a former

R. C. A. F. building at the air- port. A temporary office for air- way trnffic control will be in the Canadian National Telegraph building.

The fire-stricken building was gutted in less than half an hour as flames spread like lightning Scene of the outbreak was a. port- ion of the building where con- struclive work was under way. Cause of the fire was unknown.

Tar and other "construction materials fed the flames, frustrat- ing efforts of the Moncton Fire Department and R. C. A. F. and T. C. A. personnel.

The fire-,fl.ghlers had to con- centrate on saving two flanking hangars-one occupied by the T. C. A. and Maritime Central Air- ways and the other containing graders amt other airport equip- ment. Drums of gasoline and oil were dispersed over the area as I precaution against explosions.

A stockpile of equipment in the gutted building, which served ass storehouse for the four Atlantic provinces. represented one of the biggest losses. An estimated 0250,- 000 worth of new construction work had been done on the prop-

ertr.

The Airport control tower was unharmed. permitting local in- siructlom to aircraft landing or departing. Loss of master control for the entire Maritime Irea. how- ev'er, meant that this would like- ly be handled from Boston for the time being.

Mr. Pear-ion touched off specu- lation by I press conference state- ment that Canada was informed last week of the explosion "as soon as it was reasonably certain from detection devices "that an upiorlon had occurred. '

He added that Canada has her own scientific detection devices but that hey are not nearly Ia highly developed or exionslve as those owned by the United States.

"Did OanadI's devices pick up reactions from the explosion!" I reporter asked.

"1 don't want to ny."' replied Mr. Pearson. Then he added that all western governments knew that an explos on had taken place in Russia before it was announced yesterday in Washington.

Of the explosion itself. he said no one here was surprised. that official Ottawa has been awaiting for No. 2 ever since the first son- iet blast more than two years He saw in it no, cause either or zzfort or alarm Imong;canId-

JAKARTA, Indonesia. Oct. 4-- (CP)-A senior Canadian official of the United Nations rebuked a former Nnzi bigwlg and refused to shake his hand at a social function Wednesday night be- cause of the German's' wartime record.

The Canadian, Dr. Hugh L. Keenleyslde, former deputy min- ister of Mines and Resources in the Dominion Government. is said to have told Hjulmar Schacht at a private reception: "I shall have nothing to do with you."

Keenleyside. now head of the U. N. technical assistance admin- istration, is visiting Indonesia. Schacht, whose financial juggling helped Hitler build a vast war machine, is in Indonesia id ad- vise its government on financial reforms.

The two met at a reception given by Sir Mirza Ismail, the technical assistance administra-

reception the Ger-

New plans for I new boat for the Wood Islands-Caribou service will be submitted shortly to the Canadian Maritime Commission by Northumberland Ferries Ltd, it was learned yesterday from the president of the company, Mr. R. E. Mutch. .

Mr. Mutch and other local dir- ectors will have a. conference with Mr. W. N. MacDonald, of Pictou, at Wood Islands this morning in connection with the new propos- als to be submitted to the Com- mission. Mr. MacDonald is a lead- ing member of the company's dir- ectorate.

Last year the application for 11 new boat was turned down by the Commission, but it is hoped that the steadily increasing require- ments of the service, as indicated by this year's traffic figures, will have convinced them of the urgent need for reconsideration.

In the meantime. Mr. Mutch points out that construction costs have increased considerably. The estimate last year was for I mill- ion dollar boat. Present-day costs of steel and other material would boost the figure by about 570,000.

Church Synod Concludes Meeting

PICTOU. N.S.. Oct. 4-(C1?) - Tile Maritime synod of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada today heard a Gaelic church service in the final day of its annual meet- ings here.

Rev. Dr. A.D. MscKlnnon, of Little Narrows. Cape Breton. con- ducted the service and was assist- ed by Reg. Roderick Macl..ood of Boularderie, N.8., and Rev. D. A. Maclcinnon of sprlnghill. N.E.

The synod decided to meet next

year at nearby New Glasgow. Dr. Mncxinncn told the deleg- ales to the two-day meeting there is I great need for ministers in rural Irena. He estimated that 20 ordained men could be placed in charges in- the Maritimes.

Rev. E. Russell Gordon of New Glasgow. chairman of the budget committee. brought in I budget of 370,683.20 for 1052. The allocations to Presbyterlea Ire: Cape Breton 012,813; Newfoundland 09.100: Pic- tou 020,003: Balnt John 08,750; Miramlchl 04.007; and Prince Ed- ward Island, 012,827.

man: "I know your black record. I shall have nothing to do with you."

An official statement from the administration's office quoted Kecnieyside as calling Schacht

”a disgrace to the human race."

Keenleyside himself said later that he had never met Schucht before but had studied his war- flme and pre-war record. lie said the fact that Schacllt hurl evenl- ually fallen out with Hitler was no excuse for his active collabor- ation whiie concentration camps, torture methods and gas cham- bers were being used against Ger- man: and other people.

The Canadian said he felt no U. N. official could possibly frat- ernize with a man who represent- cd so completely something the U. N. was organized to oppose.

(At U. N. headquarters in New York. officials said there is no established protocol covering a meeting between U. N. officials and former Nazis. They said Kecnleyslde apparently acted on his own initiative.

Ramp Capacity Nolice Changed Al Ferry landing

Northumbel-land Ferries Ltd. which has been seeking for the past three years to have the ship- to-shore ramp at its Wood Islands ferry terminal reconditioned, has now received notice that the bear- ing capacity of the ramp in its present condition is only 7.5 tons gross weight. Orders have been issued to change the notices at Wood Islands from 8. permissible load up to 15 tons gross weight to 7.5 tons gross weight. In the mean- time arrangements with Bruce Stewart and Company have been made to strengthen the ramp and that it is expected this work. will be completed by Saturday next, after which the ramp may be re- posted ls having a capacity of 15 tons gross weight.

Word to this effect has been re- celved by Mr. R. E. Mutch. pres- ident of the ferry company, from Mr. E. K. M-ncrlutt, District Mar- ine Agent. Department of Trims- port

Not Satisfactory

"in view of the fact. that re. quirements for handling the traf- fic are sometimes up to 30 tons gross weight, the proposal to re- nondition the ramp for'a maximum of 16 tons capacity gross weight is altogether inadequate," Mr. Mlltch stated last evening. He explained that the ramp, which hns been in use for the past eleven years with- out repair, has been steadily dc- teriorating.

In response to repeated mm. plalnis by the company, the ramp was inspected by Department of- ficiall this spring and a, notice was posted during the latter part of July, limiting the permissable capacity to 15 tons. ,

During the season heavier trucks have had to be unloaded at wood islands and taken over in two smaller trucks, and it was hoped that this difficulty would be met by the provision of 3 new and larger ramp which would meet every requirement. "Repairing the old one leaves us Just where we were." Mr. Mutch stated. "It will mean further delay and lnconvgn. fence in handling truck traffic. which is one of the most import- Int facilities the service provides for the farmers and shippers of this Province."

British Aulos To Be Returned

”Undcr existing Federal Gov-1 ernmcnt credit restrictions we cannot find a market for the British"-(built. cars," I large deal- er said. "There is a market for them in other parts of" the world so we have decided to send them back," he said.

The new car slump is not con- fined strictly to British cars and also applies to cars built in Can- ada and the United States. hel said

Under credit restrictions. a buyer must pay 50 per cent down and the balance in 12 months.

Another dealer said that "people who want to buy cars just haven't got that kind of . money these days."

Cosl-offliiillgg Index Increases

OTTAWA, Oct. 4 -tCP)- Food prices were generally lower in August, but other price Jumps. pushed the cost-of-living index up' 0.9 points to a peak of 189.8 from 180.9. the Bureau of Statistics re- ported today.

All rzroups in the index, which has gone steadily upward during the last two years. registered gains. with the exception of the, food sub-group. The index is based: on 1935-39 prices equalling 100. Mainly because of seasonnll trends, the food sub-group de- clined 0.3 points to 251.1 from the record 251.4. Prices were lower for;

These offset increases for beef, butter. chcesc, eggs. cocoa oranges nnd canned vegetables. l
