Travel bans in Quebec and 0n. tario last night were increased, with a Quebec announcement that crown lands from the Saguenay district. in northeastern Quebec. westward to the Ontario border were closed to ordinary travel be- cause of forest fires.

But Ontario's 151 fires, fought by more than 2,000_men, were all reported under control and in Quebec the situation was almost as encouraging. information from. one or two areas was still not definite but the worst was believ- ed over.

Predict Vaccine Against Polio

(By Alton L. Blakealee)

NEW YORK, Aug. 24-(AP)—A vaccine against polio now seems only a matter of time.

Just a few years ngo, the prob- lem looked almost insurmountable. But now monkeys and mice are being protected against infantile paralysis by vaccines developed in two laboratories. These aren't yet ready for humans, and there may still be unforleen pitfalls ahead.

The vaccine research and other dlICOVGTlrp lead top scientists to predict a human vaccine within the foreseeable future.

There are several main reasons why a safe vaccine now seems possible.

One is the work of researchers. headed by Dr. Sidney 0. Levinson. at Michael Reese Hospital. Chi- cago. They have prepared a vac- cine that works in mice. It's made by exposing the polio virus to ultra-violet light for only three-tenths of a second. In that fraction of n second, the virus is killed. -

This vaccine now is being tried in monkeys, which are more near- ly like humans. Dr. Levi on is not yet ready to report on there experiments. , .

At the Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, a vaccine prepared in a dif- ferent way la protecting monkeys. even when they're given a huge shot. of active virus right into the brain. This vaccine is made by a chemical treatment that kills the virus.

A search now is under way to learn how many types of virus there are, and what they do. To be effective, any vaccine would have to be made of viruses from all these types. or at lent from those found to be most danger-n...

‘See Little Hope In Easing Tension In. Yugoslav-Soviet Row

BELGRADE. Aug. 04 -— (AP) — The air force and the future lead- ers of Yugoslavia"; best army units pledged to fight today against any aggression.

There seemed little likelihood that this tough little country's of- fer to settle her row with Russia over Communist politics would ease the tension soon.

Foreign observers believed the feud had gone too far and too deep. particularly since Yugoslavia has clearly stated she is not going to climb down from her position of independence from Moscow in domestic and foreign affairs.

A letter to Marshal Tito from the air force declared: "Conscious cf the situation we are in, we are prepared to defend our socialist homeland against anyone —- no matter from which side it comes."

Another message to Tito was from the school of the corps for national defence, where leaders of crack army units are given mliit- ary and political training. ,

"In the world has appeared a new fortress of socialism and peace. Yugoslavia, which is now

being attacked. We are proud to-

be members of the Yugoslav Com- munist Party and we shall be ready to defend our homeland, no matter from whom, under your leadership." said this message.

(The Moscow press continued to attack Marshal Tito furiously Wed- nesday. So far it had not printed or ccinme ted on the Yugoslav note of Tuesday offering to negot- late "all disputed questions")

The Yugoslav note, offering to return to Russia 31 Soviet citizens held hero as confessed spies as well as all other Russian nation- als who wish to go. put the pos- sibility of smoothing over the Com- munist family dispute squarely up to Moscow.

The Yugoslav conditions — that Russia must understand Yugoslav- ia is going to stay independent in foreign and domestic policy re- gardless of all pressure —- showed plainly the depth of the dila- ericee, however.

One side or the other would llave to make a profound, altera- tion of its basic philosophy to patch up the quarrel. '

Hopeful 0t Good Results From Talks

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 -(AP> —Treasury Secretary John Snyder said today that United States of- ficials "are definitely hopeful that

He also said "the proper forum for discussion of evalua- tion" of currencies is the 48-001m- try monetary fund. but. thatthere is some possibility of the issue be- ing raised at the three-power talks.

The treasury secretary said, how- ever, that his opposition to in- creasing the price of gold or de- valuing the (IOIIBIJIBS "not chang- ed whatsoever.”

When asked what further aid could be given to Britain without congressional action, Snyder said he "couldn't comment on that now." He said State Secretary Ach- eson or Paul Hoffman, Marshall- plan chief, would have to be pres- ent.

Snyder was asked whether the

subject of gold had been mention- ed at his meetings with British and French officials on his recent trip abroad. He replied he was "quite certain that gold was not, mentioned" at those meetings and “certainly there was no serious discussion" of gold. His remark about his views on a change in the dollar price o! gold recalled that he has repeatedly said he is against raising the Un- ited States price of $36 for an ounce of gold.

Railway Wharf Reconstruction

The Canadian Dredge and Dock Company have been awarded a contract of approximately $750,000 for the reconstruction ‘of the out face of the Railway Wharf and the construction of a frost-proof, electrically heated warehouse, 50 feet by 881 feet.

The warehouse will replace the old eastern warehouse, 30 by 308 feet. which has been transferred to the Provincial Government and is now being moved to a location at the foot of Prince Street.

A length of 098 feet on the eniv ern face of the wharf will be en- tirely reconstructed with a heavy steel sheet pile base. creosoied timber fenders and a remi- reinforced concrete parapet. When completed. the outer end will be 203 feet. wide. Bcrihing capacity will be similar to that on the west side, giving 800 feet width at the outer end and 200 feet at the inner end. with 26 feet of water at low water. spring tide, when dredged.

Standing on l0 inch square pre- cast reinforced concrete piles. the new warehouse will be insulated inside with 2-inch rigid cellular glass block, with a stucco finish on the outside.

Work on the project will com- mence as soon as the material. which includes 1,500 tons of steel. is available.

Eden Speaks 0n Anglo-Canadian Trade Problem

PLAS NEWYDD, Anglesey. Wales, A118. 24 -- (GP) ——Anthony Eden, deputy Conservative leader, today said the problem of Anglo-Canad- ian trade is one Britain "simply must resolve."

In the course of an address pre- pared for delivery at a Conservat- ive garden pariy on the grounds of the estate of the Nfarquess of Allfllesel’. Eden singled out Canada for a special word of thanks.’

"bbltlllns could have surpassed the constant and unwearying suc- cession of acts of thoughtfulness and generosity which Canada has extended toward this country," he said.

‘There is ho country in the world whose loyalty and friendship have proved more true in times of stress and strain.

"lt is for this reason all the more deplorable that we now should have to out our purchases from Canada and thus injure her economy."

Eden's address was regarded as important by Conservative quart- ers in London. The suggestion has been advanced unofficially that Eden should. be invited to ac- company the British delegation to Washington for the September financial talks among Canada. the United States and Britain. The speech today. however, made no reference to this.

In the course of his address. llden pleaded for an end to "bicker- ing and hard words" between the United States and Britain.

"Relations between the British commonwealth and the United Btetes are much bigger than any political party in either country." he said. "They are the future of the world."

If trans-Atlantic name-calling takes the place of "sympathetic un- derstsnding and stern effort." then I'm one will gain except Moscow."
