MANCHESTER, England. March 9 _. (Reuters) —— Labor's slender over-all majority in the new House of« commons dropped to six to- night when Conservative candidate Florence Horsbrugh won the Posi- ponod general election poll in the Moss Side Division of Manchester.

The victory was a Conservative gain from Labor. In the 1945 gell- eral election. William Griffiths, the Labor candidate, had a. plurality of 2.778 over Conservative, Liberal and Independent candidates. The Conservative candidate in 194.5 ran second with 7.4% votes to Grif- ftths' 10.201.

Today's figures were: Miss I-Iors-_ brugh n,:Wl; oasascla 16.109; Atkin 2.007.

Sensaiiohdl Siory Vliihout

, Confirmation

LOS ANGELES, March 0 — (AP) — An expert on chemicals and explosives today told report- ers he'has seen the wreckage of an "ultra-streamlined" flying saucer on a Mexico City moun- tainside, and that top United States military officials have viewed it.

But there was no confirmation of the account. related by Ray L. Dimmlck. sales manager of the Apache Powder Company. and the Air Force in Washington said it has heard nothing about it.

Dlmmlck later told other report- ers he actually saw only a strip of metal which he was told came from the space ship.

The remainder of his informa- tion, Dimmick said, came from two business men in Mexico City, one an American, the other a Chilean-Mexican. Dimmlck, de- clining to name them, said he would furnish that information “if requested by the proper authorities."

Part of his information. he said, was that a man 23 inches tall, the pilot of the object, died in the’ crash and that his body was embalmed for scientific study.

'‘It was an exquisite piece of machinery," Dimrnlck told the first interviewers. He then des-

cribed it in detail, saying it was 16 feet in diameter, built of a metal resembling aluminum but much harder, and powered by two motors. -

The crash occurred three months ago. he said.

Reminded that the Air Force announced last December it was dropping its investigation of fly- ing saucers because of a pre- ponderance of evidence that they do not exist. Dimmick said:

"I'm big enough to take the L‘ equences of what I've said, and stand my ground."

In Van Nuys, Cal.if., last night, composer Eddie Cofifman said he, actor Reed Hadley and Mrs. Had- ley saw a ship flying through a foggy sky. It appeared to be about 400 feet in the air and travelling at extreme speed.

In Dayton. 0., the control to.w- er operator at Wright-Patterson Air Force base said twd jet planes and an Air International Guard plane yesterday pursued an ob- ject in the sky near there. He called it "a bare pinpoint of light. with the brilliance of a star at twilight." Asnonomer J. A. Hynek said it may have been an "astronomical object."

By ARTHUR EVERETT

MANCHESTER. N.l-1.. March 9 —- (AP) — Dr. Hermann N. Sander today was found innocent of charges that he murdered a hope- less cancer patient in an “act of mercy" to end her suffering.

A jury freed the mild-mannered country doctor, who hopes to re- sume his practice “within a few weeks." .

Confident throughout the 14-day trial Dr. Sander smiled and kiss- ed his wife.

"It's wonderful to have it over with," said the 41-year-old doctor.

Cheers Greet Verdict

Spectators in the courtroom sounded cheers despite the warn- ings of Judge Harold E. Wescott against demonstrations. Even coun- ty solicitor Wiiiiam H. Craig. who helped prosecute sander, grinned.

But seemingly happiest of all was ’l1-year-old Louis E. Wyman. white-haired chief defence counsei who came up with a notable victory in his first murder trial in a legal career that has carried over half a century.

Attorney General William L. Phtnney, 40, the chief prosecutor and long-time friend of Dr. San- der, quietly left the courtroom af- ter the verdict was announced.

Earlier. he had frankly admitted to the jury it was “particularly dif- ficult" for him to ask conviction of the man he has known since boy- hood.

But he had demanded justice on the grounds Dr. sander had "taken the law into his own hands" when he injected air into Mrs. Abbie Borrow. 59. Manchester housowiia.

Dr. sander had maintained throughout that the 59-year-old woman -- a. close family friend as well as patient -— was already dead before he made the injections after "something snapped" in his mind.

Mrs. Borroto's husband and daughter testified at the trial and told the jury they still feel "kind- ly" toward him.

Not End of Troubles

Dr. Sander‘s acquittal does not necessarily mean the end of his troubles.

The house of delegates of the New Hampshire Medical Society is expected to hold an emergency meeting within 24 hours to con- sider the historic case. Dr. John P. Bowler. president of the State soo- iety. said expulsion of a doctor is within the power of the society.

Dr. John 5, Wheeler. state health officer and clerk of the State Board of Registration in Medicine. explained that the Medical Society is "a. professional society" and "has no legal power."

Dr. Wheeler said members of his own board. which has power to re- voke a doctor's licence to practice, will meet within a few days to de- cide “whether any action should be taken."

310 Votes, . '

Opposition 296

IDNDON, Mania 9 —(OP) — The House of Commons’ tonight gave the Labor Government a vote of confidence by a majority of 14.

The result put off, for the time being at least. a new general elec- tion.

The vote. on a Conservative motion regretting that the Speech from the Throne did not mention state ownership of iron and steel. was 310 to 296. The nine Liberals voted with the Conservatives.

It was the first test of the gov- ernment's strength since it was re- turned to power in the Feb. 23 general election with a majority of only seven in the new 625-scat House of Commons

Labor's majority was reduced to six in Thursday's by-election in Manchester‘: ‘Moss side Division. Florence Horsbrugh won the seat for the Conservatives, a gain from Labor.

Labor faces a second vote in tllie‘

Biggest Vote On Record

It. was the biggest vote since full

parliamentary records began 12 decacl ago.

Conservative action in challenging the government at this time "shows utter irrespcnslbil.ity"..

He said the only thing the gen- eral election decided was "that the country did not want" the Con- servatives in power.

The vote was on an amendment. tabled by Opposition leader win- ston Churr.i‘.iill to the motion for adoption of the address in reply to the speech from the Throne. It expressed “regret" that the Throne speech omitted any ‘reference to the nationalization of iron and steel.

OTTAWA, March 9. —— (Special) _ As new departments of govern- ments and their ministers settle down into bureaucratic routine here, prospects of a cabinet repre- sentative for Prince Edward Island look dim for a year or two at least.

This is the impression gathered from gossip of the Government and opposition lobbies and at adjourn- ment hour when the behind-the- scenes work of Parliament begins.

Despite his inexperience in the House of Commons. George Prud- ham, elected last June for Edmon- ton West. is slated for the port- folio of Mines and Technical Sur- veys which is now filled in a can- taklng role by National Revenue Minister, Dr. J. J. Mccann. Mr. Prudham was appointed parlia- mentary assistant to Resources and Development Minister Winters. Supported by senator J.A. Mac- Kinnon whom he succceeded in the Edmonton seat.

Minister Claims Reefer Shortage Non-Existent

OTTAWA, March 9 —- (Special) — Claim that there is no shortage of refrigerator cars on Prince Ed- ward Island to move potato and turnip shipments was made in the House of Commons today by Trans- port Minister Chevrier. Far from there being a. shortage, the Min- ister said, the reefer car situation in the Province was “good." *'

The Minister was replying to a question asked yesterday by W. Chester 8. McLure, Progressive Conservative member for Queen'::. Mr. Mchure had been advised that delivfiries of these two major crops had been held up through an in. adequate number of cars on Is- land rail lines. Mr. Chevrier said:

"I am advised today by the Can- adian Natlonal Railways that there are 454 reefer cars on hand or in

traffic. This total is made up as

follows: Cars on P. E.I., 292; l‘.1 transit at cape Tormentine. 43; at Moncton. 30: at Truro. 22: at

Campbellton 22; at Monck. 46.

“Officers of the--__Canadlan Na- tional Railways report that a sat- isfactory pcsitlon as to reefer cars is considered to be around 300. When it exceeds this figure there is a danger of transportation dif- ficulties arlsing in connection with the movement thereof." ,

Mr. McLure told The Guardian he hoped that the report of the C. N. R. meant that shippers on the Island and importers at'Tcronto and Montreal could get. deliveries of the potatoes and turnips they had ordered some time ago. it would be a serious thing for the top industry of the province if shippers lost markets through
