first Shipment Of Blueberries From Maliiimes

MONCTON, N. B., July 2—The first crop of blueberries to move in quantity this season--nearly 3.000 quarts-left hero yesterday

by Canadian National Express for in

Montreal. reports R. A. Gordon, superintendent of the Atlantic Division of the Company.

Indications are that the blue- berry crop in the Marltimes this year will be good, said Mr. Gor- don; that is, if the growth in Charlotte. Gloucester, Restigmiche and Kent Counties may be taken as an indication. Other areas are Yarmouth and Guysborough Coun- tlel and Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, and the Mount Stewart and Morell sections of Prince Ed- uiarrl Island. Small shipments of blueberries started moving from the Shcdlac, Buctouche, Rlchlbuc- to and Rogcrsvllle.reglons last Monday, Mr. Gordon stated, but the movement of this traffic in ‘bulk this season only began yes- terday.

Experiments are being conduct- ed by the Government at the present ‘time with the co-operat- inn of the railways in handling perishable traffic including fruit. he added. It is hoped that the result of these tests will permit the shipment of blueberries to more distant markets. Shipments ran now go by railway express to New York and Chicago and to Montreal and Toronto without loss of flavour or freshness.

Policy In Questioned

l! HAROLD ll. MILK! LONDON, July 21 - (AP) -'rwo of Britain's top wartime leaders questioned today tho wisdom of President Roosevelt's "uncondition- al surrender" policy toward Ger- many. They were Winston Churchill - who nodded agreement at Casa- blanca when President Roosevelt first announced such a. fight to the finish in 1940 — and Foreign Secretary Bevin, who was mim- Mlltliilti‘ in Churchill's war cab- t? .

Words of tho American Presid- ent dead‘ fivo years were quoted in the House of Commons during a debate on foreign affairs in which Bevin charged that unconditional surrender "left us Germany as a shambles."

Both Bevin and Churchill also criticized fluctuations in the Ain- erican attitude toward tho dis- mantling of German war plants.

They attacked the so-callod Mor- genthau Plan which Churchill himself lnitiallcd ' with Roosevelt at Quebec in 10H. This called for turning post-war Germany into a farming country by stripping away her industry. The plan subsequent- ly was dropped.

Churchill said ho was “sorry I put my initials to it."

Bevin, defending tho Labor Government from Conservative charges that it has been sluggish in German dismantling, said his efforts were "upset and. hindered" by the United States.

The Foreign Secretary said it was rather hard to have Conserv- ative leaders criticizing policies in Germany after the unconditional- suri-ender policy left Germany a shambles.

Churchill, now leader of the Op- position, replied he had agreed to the Roosevelt unconditional-sur- render policy, but only after the term was used by the President “without consultation with me." "I was there on the spot and I had rapidly to consider whether our position 1n the world would justify mo in not giving support to him," Churchill said.

"I did give support, but it was not the idoa I had formed in my own mind.

"ll the British Cabinet had con- sidered these words around the table they would have advised against it , . ."

(The unconditional - surrender policy foi- Germany, Japan and It- aly \vas announced Jan. 20, 1943, at Casablanca after a conference between President Roosevelt and Churchill. Newspaper men report- ed that Churchill nodded assent when the President reported "com- plete agreement" 0n unconditional- surreuder demands.)

Speaking of Anglo-American dis- putes over dismantling German industry which might be turned to wnr uses, Bevin said:

After dropping the Morgenthiiu Plan, the United States later pro-

By John IABlano

FRDERIGIDN. July 21 -(OP) -A Maritime proposal that Can- adian National Railway lines 1n the seaboard Provinces be made into a separate system for tho making of freight rates ran into opposition from the Government- owned line today before the Roy- a.l Commission on Transportation.

The railway claimed that the C. Nit. set-up in the Marltlmes now wu competent. to handle matters as well as a separate organization.

The contention was put. forward by Hush O'Donnell. 0.11.12. coun- sel. in cross examination of Rand H.

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld., July 21 — (OP) — An Independent member startled the Newfoundland Legis- lature today with charges that “hell was let’ loose" and "sectar- ianism went wild" in the refer- endum campaigns before confeder- ation. Independent member Peter Cashin told the House that the Provincial Grand Orange iodge_ master of Newfoundland has is- sued a circular letter which was a, "filthy" attack on Roman Catho- lics. Mr. Csahln is a Oathollc. Ho quotes Chesley Fillier, Grand Muster of the Provincial Grand Lodge, as saying in the circular that the Catholic Church mode an effort to dominate the right of "an unwarranted invasion of and free choice of tho individual elector" in the referenda. Prom nearby Clarke's Beach, Mr. Filllor told the Canadian press in a telephone conversation that. the circular was “a private doeumont issued through the mail to Now- foundlandi 238 lodge.

Coroner's Jury liears Story Of Killing

SAINT JOHN, N. B., July 21- (CP)—Pollce here tonight said Harold John Atkinson, W, of Saint John had been charged with mur- der in the death of Herbert J. Kcyes, 60-year-old fumigation ex- pert. Atkinson will appear before Police Magistrate E. J. Henneberry for preliminary hearing tomorrow morning,

The badly gashed body of Kcyes was found late last night in a Char- lotte Street apartment. A coroner's jury earlier found that Keyes’ death resulted from multiple wounds in- flicted by a sheath knife in the hands of Atkinson.

Mrs. Irene V. Coffey, one of eight witnesses, testified that she saw Atkinson, her son-in-law, strike Kcycs’ from behind with a knife at 285 Charlotte Street. The heavy-set, middle-aged woman, in custody since last night, was re- leased after the inquest.

She said the R.C.A.F. veteran, son of Harold C. Atkinson, ML. A. for Saint John County, was in the Provincial Hospital for three months in 1948.

Mrs. Coffey said the attack came without warning as Keyes sat at a card table looking at a chess arrangement.

She identified a sharp-pointed hunting knife as the one she had ‘seen in Atkinson's hand and said she was “quite sure" Atkinson had brought the knife with him to the apartment when he called shortly after 10.00 p.m.

Police testified they found the knife in the apartment and Dr. RAH. MacKeen, provincial path- ologist, said he found human blood on the weapon. Detective Sgt. T. M. Todd said he later re- moved a sheath from a trouser pocket of Atkinson.

Mrs. Coffey testified that after she phoned the police she met At- kinson on the stairs leading to the apartment and heard him say. "my God, Mrs, I've killed him and I don't know why.”

Several other police witnesses testified that Atkinson, alone in the room with the victim, appeared hysterical when police arrived and repeated over and over that. hg had
