(Hy lack Gillan)‘

BUDAPBST. March 'f—-(A.'P)—A high Hungarian official declared today that the Soviet commander- lii-chief in Budapest had forbid. den newspaper publication of the United States note protesting Bus- ilan interference in Hungarian sfiaira American sources said the suppression would be strongly challenged.

The official. whose name could not be disclosed, informed a rep- resentative of the United States Lcgatlon that the manager of the official Hungarian news agency had received "direct orders" from Soviet LL-Oen. V. P. Svirldov “to suppress the note."

svii-idov. however. denied to Col. John H. Scopes of the United states Military Mission that sov- iet authorities had ordered the suppression. Scopes arid that, b! foro he could compete his sch- lCllVC asking about the suppression, Si-iridov interrupted to deny re- sponsiblllty. and added: “It was an action token by the Hungarian Government."

Britain To Protest Too

(Diplomatic informants in Lon- dmi said Britain would join the United States in the protest against nllcscd attempts by the Russians to help the Communists gain con. trol of the Hungarian uovgi-n. merit.)

WASHINGTON. March '7 —(AP) --Abcltlt $125,000,000 worth cf gtms and other military supplies may he sent to Greece. it was reported today after President ‘Irumart abruptly cancelled a Caribbean trip and called Congressional lead- ers to confer Monday on what one of them called “the most fateful situation ‘in American history."

At issue Wis whether tho Uiniied States would step into the breach opened by Bfltalns decision to liquidate her outposts in Greece and elsewhere. Greece is the scene of armed conflict between the a-ntl- Ccmmunist. government and leftist foes.

Referring to the Greek situa- tion and its implications, Charles Eaton (RepwNoI-l Nova Fcadla- born chairman of the Howe of Representatives foreign affairs committee. called it "the most fateful situation in the history of our comm-y."

President Truman is reported to have under consideration a $150.- 000,000 program of aid to Greece this year. Officials, who cannot be named. said today that if this is finally agreed upon, about half of the total probably would be eer- fnlflfed for strengthening the Greek army to maintain order.

‘The officials said that putting an end to the civil strife was deem- ed essential to making effective any large-scale American efforts to get

Coal Imports To P. E. island Drop Sharply

Fiesr, Feed, Potatoes Among items Contributing To Increased Traffic

height trailtlc figures for lust. month. lust released by the Island division, Atlantic Region. Can:- dlan National Railways, reflect the pronounced drop in coal im- ports resulting from the strike in the Nova Scotia coal mines. Dur- ing the month of February. 1946. 335 cars of coal were brought to the Province via. the Tormentine- Borden ferry route; last month only 180 cars reached the Prov- ince.

Imports of flour and feed show a marked increase of 4.2 cars last over the corresponding period last year when l8l cars were imported. Fertilizer end gas and oils also showed decided iii- creases: 119 cars of fertilizer en- tered Borden via Tctrmentine‘ last month pa compared to 95 iii Feb- ruary of last year, while 124 cars of gas and oil came across as com- pared to only 31 in February. 1946.

Hay Imported

Last summer's hay-crop failure in the Province resulted in 63 cars of hay being imported last month whereas that commodity was being exported durrng the corresponding period of l-zst year.

Figures for the importation of sugar only reveal what every ls- land housewife knows. that this article of dict is scarcer now than it was a year ago. Last month, o-niy two cars came to the Province as compared with four cars in Feli- ruary. 1946.

The increase iii the export-of eggs. agrees roughly with the agri- cultural repcrts that the Island is whipping many more eggs recently than it did for the same period lust year. Eight. cars left the Island last month gs compared to five in February of last year.

More Potatoes Shipped

Four hundred aiid seven-tire earn of potatoes were carried across the Strait to the mfilfllulld last month which ls seventy-two more cars than were shipped in February. 1946. Turnip: also slicw- ed a gain of 20 cars ovei- the (ig- ures for February of last year as 94 cars left Borden last month.

The railway figures reveal that freight movement. to and fro across the Strait, showed g big iii- crease. The total number of loud- ed cars entering Borden last month from Tormentlne was 1.133 as compared to 988 iii February otf last year. Eight hundred and fifty- flvc cars left the Province via Borden last month as compared to 8'78 ln February. i946.

No Evidence Yet CfNeeIIForBoost in Freight Rates

OTTAWA. March 7—(0P)-Slow Prfilfels in the hallway freight- rate case drew expressions of con- cern today from members of the Board of Transport Commissioners M the inquiry rounded out its first month. with one commission- H‘ declaring lie had in this tlirie heard no evidence to indicate a necessity for increases.

OTTAWA. Mar-ch ‘i-(Speclzm- Not even the dignified appeals of Speaker Dr. Gaspard Fauteux and Deputy Speaker, Ross Macdonald could restrain members of the Commons from discussing freight rates as the Throne Speech de- batte entered final stages these past two day's. ‘

As one veteran parliamentarian phrased it today: "The Maritlnies are arguing freight rates before the Board of Transport Commis- sioners. but the Westerners are fighting increased rates on the floor of the House."

In a statement designed to get the Commons off the thorny path of boosted freight rates Deputy Speaker Macdonald declared it was "sub-Judlce" to discuss the current application of the railway compan- ies to boost freight rates from the Maritimes to the Pacific by 3O per rent. Finding a. loophole iii ms Homer's ruling, members prefaced their statements on rites by say- ing they would not discuss the specific case of 30 per cent, but "would discuss the question gener-

OVITAWA. March 'l—(CP)-Soi- on Low, Social Credit leader, to- night moved in the Commons a non-confidence motion call n: upon the Government to return to Parliament its control over the country's financial policies.

The motion, in the form of a sub-amendment to the main mo- tion for adoption of the Throne Speech, came shortly after the House formally voted 168-26 against a 0.0.1“. motion expressing lack of confidence in the Govern- merit.

Mr. Law's motion also called for the removal of restrictions on the production and sale of buildmg materials to permit an "all-out" program of home construction la ' Can-ads. -

It called too, for a "scientific formula" which would aolve fin- ancial difficulties between the Provinces and the Dominion with- out an increase in taxation of the people.
