iin Sign 0f Break in Packinghouss Workers’ Strike
._,_I_ By The Canadian Press With no sign of any mutually- acceptable conciliation plan, the packinghouse workers’ strike moved into its second week of full-scale tie-up. edging Canadians gradual- ly closer to the worst meat shortage
in Dominion history.
A Saskatchewan proposal that the eight strike-affected Provinces join in naming a conciliator ap- parently is shelved for the time being. Although six provinces are agreed on the suggestion. Ontario's Premier Drew has announced his government cannot yet consider it. There has been no word from Prince Edward Island.
Ontario's earlier settlement bid has not been formally rejected by the United Packineihouse Workers of America (C10). he said. “Fur- ther suggestions‘; also had been advanced for breaking the dead- lock and no other proposals could be studied immediately.
However, the Ontario roposal calls for return of the strikers pending conciliation. and the union has said it will not agree to that proviso.
In Saskatoon, a U.P.W.A. official. Normarl Riches. put it. bluntly: If the companies wanted a "show- down." they'd get it.
"Regardless of cost, we are pre- pared to fight all the way. even if we never kill another beast until Christmas" he said.

No Problem In Marketing Potato Crop
OTTAWA. Sept. m — (fineclal) --Iin the light of the United States potato position this season, mark- eting of the Canadian potato crop and particularly that of the Mar- itime Provinces “will present no serious problem". The Guardian was informed today by the Special Products Board qf tihe Dominion Department of Agriculture.
“In the light of recent reports from the United Kingdom, includ- ing that of All. Bryan, Canadian commercial counsellor in London, ‘there will be no appreciable de- mend for Maritime potatoes in Great Britain this year," KB, Con- gcr, manager of the fruits and vegetables section oi the Board said.
"Mr. Bryan and other experts say that the United Kingdom po- tato crop is very heavy i111; year. so there will not be any emergency order such as the one which took care of Prince Edward Island's surplus last year. On the other hand. prospects in the United States Inarket look promising."
Three factors entering into pros- pects for a good market for pota- toes this year, Mr. Conger sa'd, were the smaller United States crop, the smaller Canadian cro-p, and the strong price support given the United Statespotato-grcwer by the government.

NEW YORK. Sept. 21 —-(CP)_. Despite vigorous Russian opposit- ion. a United Nations steering com- mittee dealing witlh the agenda for the General Assembly today sent along to the Assembly a United States’ proposal for remodelling U. N_ peace machinery.
The vote, by 12 to 2 with only Poland and Russia Oppoged‘ came amid a renewal of Russia's slashing attacks on the American delegation. At nearby Lake Success, N. Y., Andrei Grcmyko of Russia fought the United States plan for a "little assembly" contending it violated the U. N. charter and was an ai- tempt by ihe Uni-ted States to circumvent the Security Council. in which th-e Big Five veto operates.
Under the American proposal a permanent committee of the 55 powers would remain in session to take up matters of peace and sec. urity and have the power to con- vene the full Assembly, where there is no veto, to deal immediately with any piressE-ng issue.
The United States also has an- nounced that it favors creation of a special committee to study the veto.
Warren R. Austin, United States delegate, told Gromyko that "the Security Council isn't tihe whoie United Nations" and said the Council had been “rendered futile" by a minority, an obvious refer- ence to 20 Soviet vetoes in that body.
In the day’; biggest broadside, Gromyko charged that State Secretary Marshall oi’ the United States had ‘idiutorted the truth to imply that Russia
