Sir Noel Bowater New Lord Mayorllf London

(By Walter Dlvla)

LONDON. (Reuters)-Sir Noel llowater. G0, a director of the huge Bowatcr Paper Corporation. was chosen to he the 631st Lord Mayor of London.

Llverymen of the old master guilds stood in the 15th-century Guildhall, Just as they have since 1191, and cried "all" when Sir Nnei's name was presented.

The ancient hall was strewn with sweet-smelling herbs "to keep away the plague and evil smells of the city". During the days of the great plague the herbs were supposed to guaran- tee health. ' r'

In six weeks, the lord mayor- elect will drive in a 200-year-old

black-and-gold coach to assume the office. He will not he lord mayor of

the 8,000,000 people of greater London-only of the city of Lon- don the bustling one-mile-square district which in medieval times was politically significant.

Sir Noel will not have the rest powers of some of his pre- qcessors-for instance, the rags-

.-,-,t riches orphan Dick Whitting- who did so much for Lon-

on's poor in the 14th century. will supremo

But within the city- itself he will, in all matters of protocol. reign supreme. When the Queen visits his domain she will have to walk behind him. And he holds the ancient right.to ar- range interviews with the Queen st. Buckingham Palace at any hour of the day or night.

But the pomp and honor of the office are expensive and the mas- ter guidsmen are careful to put up a candidate who can foot the hill. The Lord Mayor gets a sal-

Need Rare Blood To Save Woman

DETROIT. (OP)--A 22-year-old mother of two is dying for want. of an unusual type of blood. doc- tors said Tuesday in issuing it plea. for donations from anyone who can provide the correct type.

The woman. Mrs. Dolores Baker. is suffering from Stsphlococcl. a blood disease commonly known as staph infection. To survive she must have a. transfusion from a donor with Rh negative. blood type 0 who also has recently recovered from a staph infection.

Of some 600 persons who tele- phoned the hospital to offer blood, only two had correct type but neither had suffered the disease.

Raid. Warning Being Tested

McGill Fen-ce , May Supplement Radar System

OTTAWA, . (GP) -Canada. is testing a low-cost device to give warning of approaching aircraft and it may be used to supplement the defensive chain of radar sta- tions in Csnadd, Dr. 0. M. Sol- andt. chairman of the defence re- search board. announced Tuesday.

Dr. Solandt said in a. statement that a number of stations with the equipment, known as the MoGill Fence, have been installed experi- mentally "to determine their op- erational capabilities."

"Trials have been going along all summer and have shown that this equipment can be used to pro- vide a warning system that can be installed at comparatively low expense in terms of money, mater- ials and manpower."

U. 8. Interested

Dr. golandt said the United States authorities "have been in on this from the beginning and have shown great interest in the results achieved." -

”Both development work and further trials are still proceeding.

"It. should be emphasized again that even if this equipment proves to be as effective as would appear likely, it is not a. substitute for a radar chain but would provide an early warning of the approach of aircraft.

"The indications are that this is likely to constitute a considerable advance in our capacity for pro- tection against air attack."

He -said 'the devise has been under intensive development dur- ing the last 18 months.

labor Shows Trend For More Socialism,

BY FRASER WIGHTON

MARGATE, England, (Reuters) -Rank-and-file members of the 1-Ibor party Tuesday went on rec- ord in favor of more socialism by returning militant leftist Aneurin Bevan and five of his supporters to the executive of the party.

But Bevan again was left with victory without- power. His leftist forces remain crushed beneath the weight of the orthodox trade union movement. which gives the party its strength and money.

More than 1.000.000 members of local party branches returned the Bevsnltes with increased majorit- ies in the constituency section of the executive elections at the 3170? Duty annual convention here. They returned only one non- Bevsnitc-James Griffiths, a mod- crate. -

Against this victory, 5,000,000 trade union votes went to 22 non- Bevanito candidates to fill the re- maining executive seats,

The unlons.also msneouvred the return of Herbert Morrison. party second - in - command who was ousted by a Bevanits at last year's convention.

Both Sides Claim Win

Both sides claimed a victory. Orthodox spokesmen said moder- ates in the union section of the executive have been replaced by outspoken anti-Bevanitea.

lletortod Richard Crossman. the Welsh lesderls spokearnim: "The conference wants a peace tragtv between right and left but there has been no swing to the right. Dissatisfaction with the forces con- trolling the Labor machine is ex- iprsased in even stronger support for the Bevanites than lasts year.”

UNI: .:Fi1es .Submission... In Freight Rates Case

OTTAWA. Sept. 29-Proposals designed to help unravel Can- ada's complex freight rate struc- lure and provide a practical me. thod of arriving at a basic uni- form scale of tariffs were pre- sented to the Board of Transport Commissioners today by the Can- arliun National Railways.

The CNR. filed a 54-page sub- mission with the board in pre- paratlcn for the equalization hear- ing which are scheduled to enter tdheir final stage here next Tues- - ay. i E In its submission the Canadian ,Nationai includes among other .things a new scale of class rates based on a survey of actual traf- fic movements and retention of a blanket grouping in Eastern Can- ada within which such polnts as Montreal. Toronto and Windsor would enjoy the same rates on shipments to and from the west. As it has from the outset of the hearings the CNR emphasizes that.-railway revenues,should not be jeopardized by equalization. it then cites figures based on the board's own wayblli analyses of freight movements on four select- ed days in 1949. to show that the suggested scale of class rates ten- i8NV9ly set forth by the board last December is too low to main-

Maj.-Gen.

The boy's father said he be- lieves the kidnapping was the work of professional criminals.

Mayor Reuter Of West Berlin Dies Unexpectedly

BERLIN. (AP)-Mayor Ernest Reuter, militant leader of West Berlin's fight against communism, died unexpectedly M his home Tuesday night of A heart attack. He was 64.

A Social Democrat, who once dabbled in Communist party at- fairs, Reuter was world famed for his defiance of the Russians who surrounded the war-ravaged Al- lied sectors of Berlin, isolated within the Soviet zone. He rallied the people to resistance against the Russian blockade of 1948-49. , W ',dros.,'if 'i 'D.l;Isidegt of the Vyest Ger-

The heavy-jowled mayor, who wore a black beret, visited the United States last March and conferred with President Eisen- hower in Washington.

Dr. Walter Schreibcr, as dep-

uty mayor, assumes Rcutcr's job for the present.

Reuter became a Socialist in his student days. He helped or- ganize a pacifist society at the beginning of the First World War but was drafted into the'Kaiser's army. Sent to the eastern front. he suffered a leg wound that left him with a lifetime limp. The Rlfisslans captured and sent him to the coal mines.

As a Socialist, he welcomed the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 and helped organize a supporting cell among his fellow prisoners.

This work caught the eye of Lenin and Reuters was appointed I commissar of the Volga Ger- man republic.
