Dangerousw Hurricane

MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 5 - (AP)-. Winds exceeding 140 miles an hour developed today in hurrl-1 Cine "easy" and the great: tropical storm still was growing in sizel and power about 1,200 miles southeast of Florida.

"This is now a large and dang- erous hurricane." said the Miami Weather Bureau in its 6 pm. (EDT) advisory. It still was too far at sea. though, to threaten? any land areas.

A navy hurricane hunter planci flew into the heart.- of the storm and the pilot estimated the cen- tral wlnd velocity at greater than 140 miles an hour.

Winds of hurricane force (75 miles an hour or better) extended 50 miles south of the centre and 80 to loo miles to the north.

At 6 p.m.. it was 400 miles northeast of San Juan. Puerto Rico. and moving on a west- northwest course at 14 to 15 miles an hour. ,

Following hurricane ”Easy" 1,000 miles back was hurricane "Foxi, the sixth of the season. The Wra- ther Bureau gives the storms al- phabetical names as they occur- a for Able. b for Baker, etc.

The "Fox" was estimated -at about 1,100 miles east-north-east of Antigua in the British West Indies and 2,110 miles from Flo- rida. It. was moving west-north-

west at about 15 miles an hour.

Could B: Made With I Present fuels

LONDON, Sept. 6 - (Reuters) - Scientists meeting here today heard a plan to land a 50-man ex- pedlilon on Mars, using artificial satellite bases revolving around both Earth and' Mars as stepping stones.

The plan was outlined in a. pa- per by the German rocket expert, Werner Von Braun, the man who designed Hitler's destructive V-2's. It was read at the second Inter- national Congress of Astronautics (navigation among the stars) by Lt. Cmdr. Frederick Durant of the U. S. Navy's New Jersey air rock- et test station.

Von Braun said it would be possible to send an expedition to

Mars in space ships burning chemical fuels already in exist- once.

Space Station First Step

First. step would be to estab- lish an artificial satellite space station. revolving round the earth as the moon does. To it 46 rock- ets - making 950 flights - would take parts for 10 spaceships which would make the actual interplan- etnry hop. Workmen on the satel- lite would assemble the 3,720-ton spaceships.

In these, 70 men would fly through outer space to set up a second satellite circling Mara. From this base 50-the other 20 would stay behind to man the space station-would actually land on Mars in three 200-ton rockets. The splice pioneers would return to Earth in the bigger ships left on the Mars satellite.

Von Brnun estimated the whole operation would last two years. 239 days. Preliminary supply op- erations would take eight months.

Five Million Tona Fuel

He said the 5.320.000 tons of uopellunts -- hydrazine as fuel and nitric acid as oxidizer-would be needed for supply operations and 36,600 tons for the actual in- terplanetary flight.

"According to official statis- tics, the Berlin airlift consumed about U10 of this amount in high-octane gasoline." said Von Brnun. "And all this because of a little misunderstanding between diplomats. Compared with fuel consumption of wars. the require- ments for an interplanetary ex- pedition would indeed pale into insignlflcance."

U. S.. Portugal Sign Agreement

WAS!-IZINGTON, Sept. 6 -(AP) -The United States and Portugal signed a new agreement today linking the Azorc Islands into the chain of North Atlantic defences.

Portugal's Foreign Minister, Paulo Cumha, and U. S. Ambassa- dor Lincoln Mucveagh signed the agreement in Lisbon. The accord was announced by the State Dc- partmcnt here.

It gives the United States new

rights to bases on the strategic islands. a State Deparilment spokesman said. Eventually the

facilities may be extended to other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Orlzanlzatlon -'for the pur- poses of the common defence and the preservation of peace and sec- urity." Both the United states and Portulzal are members of the Treaty Organization.

IDNDON, Sept. 5 - (AP)-The Forelln Office warned today that Britain might take steps to in- sure that Egypt obeys the United Nations Security Council request to end her blockade of the Suez Canal for Israel-bound ships.-

Marketing legislation also came under close scrutiny and a strong recommendation was endorsed fav-

Predicts Higher Potato Prices

REDICKVILLE, Ont.. Sept. 6 -iCP)- Dr. J. D. Mat-l..augh1ln. president of Ontario Agricultural College. Guelph. said today that because potato plantings had dropped throughout Canada this year. prices will be "considerably higher."

"An address opening the annual potato field day and machinery demonstration here, Dr. Mac- Laughlln predicted "better mar- keting and higher prices" for this

year's crop both to growers and to customers. Dominion plantings this year

had fallen off, he said. Ontario plantings were down 23,000 acres from last year and the important Prince Edward Island harvest would be down 35 per cent.

Fisheries Report

OTTAWA. sept. a -tCP)-Can- fishermen are hauling in fewer fish. but their catch is bringing more cash.

The Bureau of Statistics today reported that 122,745,000 pounds were landed in July, down 15.2 per cent. from 144,793,000 on the cor- responding month last year. The value jumped 28.3 per cent to S10,- 978.000 from 58,693,000.

Atlantic coast landings in July of all species fell to N.872.0'.)0 pounds from 110,042,000 and the value to s.'l,160,000 from 33,188,000. A sharp decline ln,the catch of sardines in New Brunswick was the main factor in the over-all de- crease. In the revin-month period the total catch dropped to 421.155,- ooo pounds from 430.I5tZ.000: value increased to 319,783,000 from 519,- 471,000.

On the Pacific coast. both the catch and landed value advanced in July; the former rising to 39,- 074,000 pounds from 33,751,000. and the latter to 57.809000 from 85,- 507,000. coins were mainly due to sockeye salmon. Landings amount- ed to 19,201,000 pounds compared with 17,000,000. and the value 05,- 102,030 against 53.368000. in the January-July period. however. the catch fell to 230.l10,000 Pitunds from 246,004,000, while the value increased to 516,016,000 from 813,-

It was felt that consumers were entitled to this protection and should always know, and have confidence in the quality and grade of the product purchased. In this connection the British Columbia Marketing Legis- lation was considered a splendid pattern for uniform marketing leg- islation in provinces desiring leg- islative action.

The Conference deplored the falling off in dairy production and responsibility was placed on pres- ent high production costs, the competition of industry in the lab- our market, and relatively low re- turns to the producer. It was felt. that improved public relations were necessary so that. the con- suming public might be fully ac- quainted with the true picture re- garding the conditions surround-

Britain” Refuses Further Oil. Talks With Iran

LONDON, Sept. 6 -- (CF) - Britain slammed the door tonight on the prospect of renewing ne- gotiations with Iran on the oil- nationallzation issue while Premier Mohammed Mossadegh remains in power.

Reacting sharply to Mossadeghis proposal to oust 350 British tech- nicians of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company from the shut-down rc- fincry centre of Abadun unless Britain agrees to resume talks. a Foreign Office spokesman said:

"The recent speech by'the Per- sian Prime Minister in the Sen- ate shows conclusively that no further negotiations with the pre- sent Perslan Government can pro- duce any results. His Majesty's Government therefore new con- siders that the negotiations begun by the Lord Privy Seal (Richard R. Stokes) are no longer in sus- pense. but broken off.”

The statement came a few hours after Mossadegh ran into parliamentary trouble in Tehran.

Many deputies of the economical- ly-pinched country demonstrated their opposition to his proposal for a,new- ultimatum to Britain by boycotting a session of the Majlls, the lower house. called to give him a vote of confidence. Only 62 of the deputies showed up while 67 were required for the quorum.

Lack of a. quorum finally led Mossadegh to postpone the session until Sunday.

The boycott was the most serious expression of Iranian opposition to Mossodegh since he rode to pow- er last spring on a wave of no- tionalist. anti-British sentiment. The Foreign Office appeared to be pinning its short-term hopes on the possibility Mossadczll will not get. Mnjlls backing. But the oil law remains popular in Iron and Mossadegh can put pressure on the rebels during the week-end.

Enemy Troops Move Forward on West Front

Contact also was broken with another assaulted Allied patrol base. But its members were he- lleved to be withdrawing safely.

Today's encirclement was the' second in two days in Western Korea -- heightening speculation that a huge Communist offensive, using thousands of fresh1y-import- crl Caucasian Soviet puppet troops. might be brewing.

Chinese and North Korean Reds moved forward Thursday across the whole western half of Korea, attacking Allied outposts and po- trols.
