To stamp out illegal lobster fishing and the handling of illeg- ally-caught lobsters federal of- ficials are prepared to employ every means at their disposal, Fisheries Minister J. Angus Mac- Lcai. informed an Island audience last night.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federation, Hon. Mr. MacLean declared that in an all- out effort to stamp out these illegal practices. this department would not hesitate to take every action coming within the scope of the present regulations.
“If necessary." he said. “I wil not hesitate to use my author- ity to cancel or refuse fishing licences to those who misuse this privilege. and my officers will prosecute offenders as vig- orously as the law will permit."
PROVINCE—WIDE GROUPS
The meeting attended by pack- ers and representative fishermen from all over the Province was held at the Charlottetown Hotel and was chaired by the Federa- tion president. James E. Burden of Charlottetown.
Seated at the head table were. Paul Gallant. Souris, vice-presi- dent of the Federation; Gorman. provincial deputy minis- ter of fisheries; T.R. Kinsella, chief of the fishery division. De- partment of

“The growth of this illegal fishing operation". the Minister continued. “is being aided and abetted by many. not only in this province. biIt also persons in other Maritime provinces. who are always ready to buy the illicit lobster catches. and who are tempting usually law-abiding fishermen to participate in these nefarious practices.

The 27th Live Fox Show staged by the P.E.I. Fur Breeders As- sociation got underway in the fox show pavilion at the Exhib- ition Grounds yesterday morning. There were 140 foxes entered and on the premises.
The quality is exceptionally good. Many of the foxes are quite as good as the balmy days of what was once an exclusive Prince Edward Island industry. The competition is very keen and the men who have remained in it and have gone through money— losing years are as enthusiastic as ever. They have good reason to be so.
Style shows in the United States and elsewhere see silver fox and and its mutations featured. Fromm Bros. biggest fox fur producers. whose annual output was in the vicinity fo 50.000 pelts. are now confident that fox is back and are using page aids in fiir pub- lications to feature them.

CLOSE CONTEST
Judge Parvin Cass of Summer- side, who has handled silver fox for upwards of 30 years. found it quite difficult at times to make placiuL‘s as there were so many good foxes on the table.
A former fox breeder who has won world chaniponships and the highest awards was very enthusi- astic about the display.
The judging will be completed this morning and after that Wil- liam \Iai-Farlane of the Hudson‘s Bay Company of Montreal will judge the mink classes.
There are upwards of 200 en- tries and a good judge pronoun- ces them of exceptional quality. Two well known breeders. men who are producing in the vicinity of a thousand mink. stated that tiicy could make good money at the present prices.

ing between Prime Minister Dief cnbaker and Premier de Gaulle took place Wednesday amid in- dications that Canada supports the F re n ch leader‘s goal of stronzer and more effective con- .sriliation within the North Atlan- tic alliance.
NATO was the major topic as the two heads of government met for 3"2 hours of talks and lunch at Hotel Malignon, de Gaulle’s official residence.

He referred to the request for financial assistance from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in a fight to have this bill defeated, “but, deciding such was not the proper course. we chose instead the normal trade and associat- ion channels", the speakcr said. IConlinucd on page 5 col. 3)

WASHINGTON (CPI-The Re- publicans faced a bleak political future Wednesday after a shatter- ing Democratic election victory that many regarded as a public rebuke of the policies of Presi- dent Eisenhower and Vice-Presi- dent Ricliard Nixon.
Democrats produced their big- gest U.S Senate gain in history from belated returns straggling in from Tuesday‘s election. The i3— seat gain surpassed by one the previous Democratic record of 12 set in 1932.
The Democrats also strength- ened their hold on the ASS-mem- ber House by picking up around 45 seats formerly held by Repub- licans.
In a post-election press confer— ence, the president himself said he interpreted the vote as one for the advocates of greater govern ment spending — something he had warned the electorate against in his campaign speeches. He in- tended. he said, to fight hard against any such trend.
LOOSEN LAWS?
Labor sources saw the prospect of 3 Congress, now top-heavy with Democrats, that would loosen restrictive labor laws and carry the country toward new so- cial gains.
Adlai E. Stevenson, titrular head of the Democratic party. said the victory reflected public misgiving about Republican leadership at home and abroad. the high cost. of living and “corruption” in the Republican ranks.
The triumph. giving the Demo- crats undisputed command of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Was their best congressional election Showing since the free-wheeling days of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his new deal.

In all the scores of Senate and House contests, the Republicans managed to unseat one Demo- crat. They nudged a blonde for- mer sclioolmarm. Representative Coya Knutson, out of politics-— something her husband couldn’t do in a widely-advertised family squabble.
SEGREGATION BATTLE
One other Democrat fell in the balloting. but not at Republican hands. Representative B r ookt Hays of Arkansas. a lay leader of the Baptist Church and eight- term veteran in Congress. lost to a powerful write - in campaign based on the racial issue.
Dr. Dale Alford. a strong seg- regationist on the Little Rock School Board. ran as an inde pendent and took ilays‘ measure with an apparent assist from Governor Orval Faubiis. Hays has tried to follow a middle course on the school segregation problem.
In the last Congress. the Demo- crats enjoyed a majority of 235 to 2.00 in the House and held a 4947 edge in the Senate.
Later this month the new state of Alaska elects two senators, in- creasing membership in the up- per chamber to 98. and one con- gressman. lifting the House total to 435.
Reports Fish Prices Better In The U.S. New
Prices for fresh and from fish in the United States. Can- ada’s principal export market “are better than they were a year ago, and show little signs of weakness." Hon. J. Angus MacLean, federal minister of fisheries told the annual meet- ing of the PET. Fisheries Fed- eration last night.
“This situation." he said. “ll due in part to smaller supplies. which has been followed by a drawing down of stocks of frozen fishery products. and to a strong consumer demand in North America.
“There is no sign of weaken- ing in this demand and there in good reason to feel that the mar- ket for practically all fishery products will continue in a healthy position."
Mr. MacLean said that the Canadian fishing industry pro- vides Work for 80.000 commer- cial fishermen. all of whom de- pend on the sea and inland wat- ers for "if not all. a large part
