Daughter Held For Court Action
HOLLYWOOD (AP) —— Lana Turner's teen-age daughter was ordered held Monday to await further court action in the fatal stabbing of Johnny Stompanato, a romantic figure in her mother’s life. ‘
The court refused to release Cheryl Crane, 14, to either of her parents or her grandmother. She was ordered detained until April 24 when she will appear for a hearing to determine whether shewillbemadeawardofthe juvenile court. A
At that hearing, Cheryl could be freed, made a ward of the court and released to her family, or made a ward and placed in a private or a state institution. In juvenile cases under Califor- nia law there is no definite pro- nouncement of guilt or innocence and no fixedsentence.
The tall, shy. schoolgirl has been in juvenile hall since Salt- urday. She was taken there from. the Beverly Hills police station after killing Stomxpanato, 32, Fri- day night while he was quarrel- ing her mother in the actress’ pink boudoi-r. Stompa nato was stabbed with a knife.
Moior Qua ke- Is Recorded
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (-AP)-A major Alaskan eanthqu-ake was recorded on sei.-smographs in North America Monday but its centre apparently was in a little inhabited area where chances of damages were remote.
The quake, starting at 5:91 am. (11:31 a.m. AST), swayed light fixtures and toppled goods from shelves but caused no damage.
An observatory in Hawaii placed the quake centre on the Alaskan mainland between.Nome and Fairbanks. .
Observatories at Victoria, B.C., and the Universities of Washing- lon and California rated the quake severe enough to cause damage in a popul-ated area.

U. 5. Jet Seeks To Set Record
YOKOTA‘ AIR BASE. Japan (A~P)—4A silver jet Srtratotanker streaked off the U.S. Air Force runway at dawn today for Ma- drid, trying tor a new world dis- tance and speed record.
The flight will be non-stop and without refuelling.
The swept-wing plane took off at 5:37 a.m. (4:37 pm. AST Mon- day). The flight originally was ‘scheduled for -last Saturday but was postponed due to bad Weather.
The KIC-135 tanker Jet Stream, military version of the Boeing 707 Jetliner, also will attempt to crack the speed record between Tokyo and Washington, D.C., on the 12,488 . mile stratospheric rfligiht to Spain.
A lesser mark to shoot for will be topping the 6,325-mile flight Gen.- Curtis Lemay made last ‘-Novernber between Westover, Mass., and Buenos Aires in a KC-135.
MAXIMUM FUEL LOAD
The four-engined ship carried a maximum fuel load -—- about three railway tank cars full—and a crew of seven. The flight com- mander was the Strategic Air Oommand’s Brig. Gen. William E. Eubank, 45.
A second KC-135 is expected to
take off 24 hours later to back- stop the flight and wing through Madrid if adverse wind-s or over- consumption of fuel forced the first ship down at Washington. ' The present unrefuelled dis- tance record is 11,236 miles, set in 1946 by a propeller-driven PV-2 Neptune flown by the U.S. Navy from Perth, Australia, to Columbus, Ohio.

In Tide Damage
peaks the workmen were trying at South Mai-tland, in Nova Sco- to build up a washed out dyke at South Maitland, in Nova Sco- »tia’s Annapolis Valley, crumbled when raging Bay of Fundy tides reached their highest peak in 18 years during the weekend.
The worst appeared over, but it be several days before things are back to normal. Though peak levels have been passed, tides could still cause damage if dyvkes are not re.- paired, railway off’-iroials said Monday.
The muddy Bay of Fundy, whose normal tides are said to be the highest in the world, churned over its banks Friday night and Sunday, sloshing wa- ter on the streets of Windsor and forcing some Parrsboro families to leave their homes. The tides dropped almost as fast as they rose, leaving wet basements, mud - covered highways and crumbled dykes.
DYKE BREAKS
A dyke near Annapolis Royal (broke under water pressure Mon- day, but workmen said the dan- ger wasn’t great because of re- ceding waters. . ‘K
Meanwhile other parts of the province also got a taste of the water as high tides, wind and heavy rain belted coastal areas. Several south shore highways were flooded, and lobster fisher- men say their traps were badly diairnaged. . The winds which followed the tides disrupted shipping in Hali- fax Harbor Monday morning and the passenger-cargo liner Nova Scotia brushed a pier when blown by 50-mile an hour gusts. Several other ships anchored in the stream until the winds died.
But heaviest damage was con- centrated in the Annapolis Val- ley. It will be several days be- fore regular rail services in the valley are restored,. at DAR spokesman said Monday.

Complete surprise was expres- sed yesterctay by H. Roy Bevan, Chairman of the Sewage and Water Commission “that the City Council would want to push an important bill through in the dying moments of the Legisla- ture, asking that the powers of the Commission be vested in the hands of the City Council”.
Mr. Bevan, in an interview fol- lowing a meeting of the Commis- sion yesterday afternoon felt that “such an important question could easily have been settled during the civic elections held two months ago."
He pointed out that the Sewage and Water Commission is a body, elected by the citizens of Char- lottetown and could not see how either the Council or the Legis- lature could take their authority from them.
70 YEAR RECORD
Mr. Bevan said, “For almost 70 years the users of sewage and water facilities in the City of Charlottetown have experienced practically no stoppage of ser- vice.”
The system, he said, _is in the best of financial standing. He felt the people of Charlottetown should look into this matter. “They would see that this branch of the City is not only paying its way but is a great asset to the city’)!
In regard to criticism voiced at the Council meeting which intim- ated that the Water Commission was not in favour of expansion, we have no alternative but to
Some 700 Island teachers will converge on Charlottetown this morning for the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Teachers’ Federation to be held for the next three days at Prince of Wales College. Miss Mabel Matheson of Charlottetown will preside.
Island teachers have been meeting in such gatherings for well over 70 years. The first such meeting of which there is any record was one which includ- ed the teachers from Charlotte- town schools in the year 1880. The minutes show that the meet- ing was held at Prince Street School.
SHARE IDEAS
It gives teachers an opportunity to ear first hand the latest trends in education and a chance to share problems and experien- ces through the many study groups which dot the agenda.
Following registration this morning Miss Matheson will present her a nual report. May- or E.C. Johns one will extend a welcome on behalf of the citi- zens of Charlottetown. This will

Another matter referred to by the Commission Chairman was the statement that the Commis- sion had never attended any meetings of the Metropolitan Committee. Mr. Bevan said the Commission had been invited to attend only one meeting at which Mr. Crandall was present. They attended this meeting in a body.
He said he had never seen any of the members of the Council at
any of the Commission’s meet-

Flood Outlook Said Improving In California
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Clearing weather Monday re- lieved dangers of worse floods in the San Joaquin and Sacra- mento River delta region of California. . r The. weather bureau said “scarce statements” about flood hazards were not justified. Taking a careful look at the tremendous snowpack in the Sierra, the bureau decided there was little likelihood of warm rains washing torrents of melted snow water down into the valleys in the next five days. The in- terval should enable swollen streams to subside.
SEAL PUPS CHASE _ KEEPER
NEW YORK (.CPi _ Six glum seal pups, a gift from the Canadian government, made a pugnacious debut Sunday at the Coney Island aquarium. -
Put on display after arriv- ing from the Marine Biologi- cal Laboratory on Magdelan Island in the St. Lawrence River, the pups played and romped deceptively at first.
When a keeper entered the seal reservation the pups drove him out. Another atten- dant entered. He was forced to flee, leaving part of his rain coat behind as a tribute to the pups’ sharp teeth.
Assistant director Carleton Ray. intrigued by the be- havior, entered the reserva- tion to examine them at close hand. The pups started for him and he quickly re- treated, scaling a fence to do so
“T think," he said. after- wards. “they'll get friendly when they get to know us better."

BC Town’
OTTAWA (CP) Canadian consumer likely will pay a cent or two more a pound for butter, as a result of a six-cents increase
in the federal floor price an- nounced Monday.
However, an increase in the floor price for hogs will not mean righer consumer prices because market prices now are about $5 a hundredweigh-t more than the new floor of $25.
Agriculture Minister Harkness also announced the establish- ment of a floor price-for wool. "But this new floor will be main- tained through deficiency pay- ments from the federal treasury and therefore may not materially affect the consumer price.
NEW SUPPORTS
The new price supports based on the price paid the producer ef- fective for 12 months:
from 58 cents, of first grade butter delivered at Montreal, ef- fective May 1. ‘
Hogs: $25 a hundredweight, up -from $23, for grade A hogs de- livered at Montreal, effective last April 1.
Wool: 60 cents a pound for
58-60’s, half blood staple, free on board at Toronto.
Diliferentials for other markets will be announced later. '
The government will buy any amounts of butter and hogs that do not finda market price equal to or higher than the floor.
PAY DIFFERENCE
However, -for wool tre govern- ment will pay the difiference be- tween the floor and the lower market price. i ...It is. the fi.rst-.tis.ms th,a¢...,the federal go'vernm" flltakiéii steps to make such deficiency payments. One federal official said payments to wool producers may run to $500,000 a year.
The government the floor prices on the recom- mendation of the Agricultural Stabilization Board, sent up re- cently under legislation adopted at the last Session of Parliament.
It also announced minimum floor prices for six key com- modities, as required by the new Agricultural Stabilization Act which supplants the old Agricul- tural Prices Support Act.
Butter: 68 cents a pound, up

established
FIVE CENTS
Consumers Likely To Pay Slightly More For Butter
The minimum prices are 80 per cent of tre average price in the last 10 years, but the effec- tive f1oor—-avs is the case for but- ter and hogs — may be higher than the minimum. The min- imum prices serve as a base for setting effective floors.
PRICES ABOVE FLOOR
An official of the board said the floor for hogs will not af- fect consumer prices because market prices already are higher than the floor. ~Ivn Toronto Mon- day, grade A hogs carcasses were about $30 a hundredweight.
However, consumers likely will pay a cent or two more for but- ter as a result of the higher floor price. The market price of butter now is about 623/4 cents a pound, higher than the present 58-cent floor but lower than the 64-cent floor effective May 1.
The 80-per-cent minimum floor for six key commodities, with the 10-year price average in brackets, are:
Good steers, $17.50 a hundred- weight at Toronto ($21.80); grade A dressed hog carcasses, $23.75 a hundrediweight at Toronto ($29.70); first grade butter, 48 cents a pound at Montreal (60 cents) first grade cheddar cheese, 25 cents a. pound in On- tario .(31 cents); grade A large eggs, 42 cents a dozen at Mont- real (52 cents); and good lambs, $19.55 a hundredweight at Tor- onto, ($24.45).
MARKET PRICES
Monday's market prices were good steers $23.50-$24.50 at Tor- onto; grade A hog-s, about $30 at Toronto; butter 631/2 cents at ‘Montreal cheddar cheese 34-341/2 cents at Stratford and 33%- 3.;4,1-16 at Kingston: grade A 'la.nge eggs,’ 45‘ cents at Montreal and good lambs, $24-$24.50 at Toronto.
Effective floor prices for
steers, lambs, eggs and cheese likely will be announced later, Mr. Harkness said; The three- man Agricultural Stabilization Boa-rd a-nd its nine-member ad- visory committee is expec-ted.to meet later this month to con- sider further floor prices. It also will establish minimurn floor prices for non - prairie wheat, oats and barley at a min- imum of 80 per cent of the 10- year average.
