"If it was the latter, he certain- ly paid heavily for the few he got." the commander added. "It is also difficult to believe such a raid would have the 20-day preliminary Sofbenlnlf-up program this one had."

Heavy Allied Barrage

The Allied barrage that kept the Communists from consolidating their newly-won position totalled 1,500 artillery rounds. plus light and heavy mortar fire. It boxed the area off for seven hours and pro- vided cover for the U. N. counter- attack.

Two platoons went in, one mak- ing a left hook working up the hill in single file, the other a right hook down a crest toward the Reds' loc- atlon.

Both approaches were laced by Chinese machine-gunners.

The left platoon fought its way up until the fire from 18 machine- guns forced it back. After waiting for the other group to approach, the o stormed in together and found the enemy had pulled out.

MIAMI. 1"la., Oct. at-(AP)-A mighty hurricane packing I65- mile-an-hour winds slashed a broad path across Cuba today on a course which would take it near South Florida's fabulous "Gold Coast."

The storm thundered inland over Cuba with its centre near Clau- fuegos on the south coast. beating a 60-mile-wide swath through rich sugar cane and ranch land.

Gales lashed outward '15 miles from the centre of the storm, des- cribed as one of the most violent to strike land in recent years.

Grady Norton. chief storm fore- caster at the Miami Weather Bur- eau. said the tropical blow should swirl into the Florida Straits near Rancho de Veloz tonight. ,

Sortheast storm warnings flew along the Florida coast from Vero Beach to Key West, including the millionaires” playground of Palm Beach and Miami.

"Hurricane force winds are un- likely on the Florida coast unless there is a change of course,” said is special Weather Bureau bulletin.

Storm-wise Miamlans weren't taking any chances. however. some stores already were boarded up and hundreds of yachts moved up the Miami River for refuge.

The Weather Bureau reported this sixth hurricane of the season was moving about 10 miles an hour on a north-northeastward course and said the centre should pass between the southeast Florida. coast and Nassau, Bahamas, sat- urday. v

Movement in P.E.l. Poialoes To Dale

The potato movement from this Province since the start of the. present shipping season has un- doubtedly set a. record, and the price level is the best ever known for- this season of the year, ac- cording to information from Mr. Donald A. MacDonald, manager of the P.E.I. Potato Marketing Board.

Already the equivalent of 800 carioads have been moved by rail. water and truck with the move- ment being partlcularly heavy during this past week.

The prices received ranged from 34.00 per 75 pound bag around August 1. They gradually declin- ed to a level of 61.60 per bag during the latter part of Septem- ber. but since that time have im- proved and prices paid at the pre- sent time should be about 32.25 per bag.

The movement of seed should get underway in volume shortly. Present indications are that prices will be slightly higher than those established by the,Marketing Board in September. some fine days are needed to finish harvesting the crop. However, it is now evident very little damage has been caus- ed by snow and frost. Refrigera- tor cars are in short supply just now, but everything possible is being done to try to remedy the situation.

Medical Society Meeting Held Al Summerside ,

About 35 doctors from all parts of the Prvince attended a meeting of the P. E. I. Medical Society in Summerside yesterday.

At a. clinical session at the hos- pital in the afternoon several in- teresiing medical cases were pre- sented and discussed. At 0.30 pm. the members attended a dinner meeting in St. Mary's Hall where Dr. Edward Mills of Montreal was the guest speaker. Dr. Mills is is professor of medicine at McGill University and physician in chief of Montreal General Hospital. Dr. Mills was introduced by Dr. J. 13. Downing, of Summerside. He spoke on the recent advances in the therapy of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Dr. Mills stressed the fact that of all the drugs which have come on the market recently for the treatment of hypertension none have been entirely adequate. Like- wise operatlons designed to lower the blood pressure in patients have many disadvantages and the num- ber of patients who will respond to such an operation is small.

Continuing study of the problem of high blod pressure is going on and more and more of the factors responsible for its development are being elucidated. llowever, the basic reason why some people de- velop hlgh bloodpressure and others do not is not as yet known.

Dr. llarold- Shaw, provincial pathologist. Charlottetown, was chairman of the meeting.

Dr. and Mrs. Mills are returning to Montreal today.

Third reading will be given this morning to a City by-law pro- hibiting vehicle with wheels or tracks with hard flanges from travelling on paved streets here. It will be done at a special meet- ing of the City Council to be held in City Hall.

A recent meeting of lhe Council expressed the opinion that hull- dozers and similarly lrended vehicles should not be permitted on the streets and contribute to the breaking up of the newly laid pavement.

Various changes in the parking laws will also receive third read- ing this morning. in future unless parking space is particularly in- dicated no vehicle may be parked on a public square or any part of a public street other than the travelled portion. Nor will it be permlssable to park on the travel- led part of any street between the hours of 1 and 6 o'clock in the morning. No iaxls may park in mmetered space, other than a space especially rented to it. ex- cepting to immediately pick up or set down a passenger.

At a meeting of the Street Com- mlitee yesterday pllernoon, hope was expressed that the purchase of adequate snow removal equip- ment would be approved at to- day's Council meetings The their- man. Col. F. J. Storey said "We are most anxious is keep the city streets clear of mo and open to traffic to the very fullest extent and we are looking forward to the full co-operation of all con- cerned.”

One of the difficulties in over- come is that of parked cars on the streets overnight, which will be eliminated by the new by-law. "However." said Col. Storey. "please make it clear that cars will not be allowed to park over- night on the grass plots between the direct and the sidewalk. We hope to have these well grassed next summer as an aid to keeping down the dust. and in a measure add to the beauty of the city.

"Too many people have had this area infront of their homes torn up by car owners who were total- ly indifferent to the time and patience spent by citizens who are endeavouring to improve their surroundings.” I

Practically every unpaved street in the city has been scarlfled. graded and rolled. and is in good condition. The Warren Paving and City equipment used for this purpose has been put away for ihe winter. Minor alterations. par- ticularly where water is” lodging on the new streets, will be made early next summer.

No further work is to be done on the sidewalks this season; it wal stated. -

Small lntrcase Allowed On Weslem Grain

0'I'rAWA. Oct. 24 -(GP) - The Board of Transport Commission- ers today jolted the railways with lts firstoutrightrejeciionofan ap- plication for a general freight rate increase.

The Board gave provincial gov- ernments opposed to increases-all except Ontario and Quebec-their first clear-cut win in the post-war series of rate cases by refusing the carriers a general boost of eight per cent that would have grossed about 540,000,000 a year.

It was the first time in Can- adian hlstory. Board informants said later. that a call for a general rate increase had been turned down completely. , In a. simultaneous judgment, the,

Board allowed the companies some

- increases on the west's grain traf-l

fic but chopped down by at least half the proposed new revenue of about 33,000,000 a year which the railways wanted on grain.

Unofficial estimates were that 300,000 a year-from grain-as against the t43,000,000 that would have been yielded had the Board granted fully the double-barrelled application they filed last July.

The eight-per-cent judgment-a separate case from the western rates-marked the first time in the long post-war series of rate cases that the Board has thrown out a railway application outright. In three major cases, it has granted increases totalling '10 per cent.

In these cases. the commission- ers have either granted railway applications fully or in part, or de- ferred action on them.

Another Application

In the current case. it could have

taken the deferred-action method. There now is it further railway ap- plication before the Board for an- other nlne-per-cent boost, due to be heard in early December. V, glirnew application is expected also as soon as the railways settle the current wage dispute with non- operating employees. who are de- manding t150,000,000-a-year wage holsis-the equivalent of another 30 per cent in freight rates.

The nine-per-cent application. which would give the companies around 545,000,000 fl. year. has been based on the idea that the Canad- ian Pacific Railway-the board's "yardstick" for rates-should have a five-per-cent return on its in- vestment in railway property.

This concept of setting rates- dlfferent from what now is in ef- fect-will be fought by the eight pi-ovinclalggovernmenls at a hear- ing due to open before the Board Nov. 10.

In the eight-per-cent decision today. the Board made it clear it wants to see evidence of sharply- increased operating costs before it grants rate increases.

The unanimous judgment of the five-man commission said that wage costs of the two big railways had gone up only about 52,473,000 a. year since it gave its last increase in January of this year, while the mid-year index of wholesale costs had gone down from 1951.

The Board also noted that the yardstick C.P.R. expected to have 3- sllflllus of 59,000,000 this year- conslderably better than its aver- age of the last six years.
