OTTAWA, Nov. 22_<cp)_-r1.._. trucking industry today told the Royal Commission on Transporta- tion there is "discrimination" against highway transport in Can.

Olleninl its submission before the three-man body investigating national transportation problems, the Canadian Automobile Trans- portation Association entered (new complaints:

4. Trucks are barred from carrying most forms of al- coholic liquor from the United States into Canada. 5°71" MflBee of Toronto, executive

secretary, delivered the brief for the C.A.T.A., which represents federations in six Provinces with a membership of 5.000 trucking firms.

The brief.’ said Federal control would be unconstitutional. and it said this authority should rest with the Provincial Governments. It added the trucking industry should be controlled under uniform pro- vincial regulations. These now vary widely from province to province.

21 chum. Seven Adulls Are Killed

(By Einar Borggron)

OSLO, Nov. 22-(AP)—An 11- ycar-old Jewish refugee boy emerg- ed today as the sole survivor of a plane wrcck that brought death to 34 persons-Tl other children and seven adults.

He ls Isaac Allal. H]; two bro- thers and a sister were among the dead. All fi children were being flown from Tunisia to Norway for six months of rest and rehabilita- tion when thelr Dutch transport plane lost its bearings and crashed Sunday night.

Search parties found the wreck- age on a densely-wooded hillside 30 miles southwest of here.

The twin-engine DC-S transport, object of a four-day country sen. and land search, was carrying four Netherlands crew members and three nurses. in addition to the children.

A police officer said 31 bodies had been recovered, 26 of them children. The other three bodies

are believed to be under the wreckage. I

Isaac was sitting near the tail of the plane when n party cf home guardsmen reached the scone more than 42 hours after the crash.

Ho blinked and told his rescuers in flailing French that. he felt “not all."

Almost n hflracle

Though able to walk, he was hustled on a stretcher to en um- bulnnco and taken to hospital at Drammen, 10 miles away.

There the chief physician dc- scrlbod his injuries as a scratched nose, a swollen wrist and slight burns.

"It is almost a miracle," said the doctor.

The plane, of the Acre-Holland Company. had touched the tree tops on a hill in the dark and crashed to earth, plowing a 200- toot-ivide furrow through great pine trees before it rammed its nose into a stony ridge and turn- ed over. '

The front end was wrecked, but the tail was almost intact. The dead were thrown right and left.

The plane, chartered to ferry underfed Jewish refugee children from Tunisia to Norway for re- habilitation before emigration io Israel, had been missing since 6 p.m. Sunday, when it radioed it was approaching Oslo to land.

The plane never appeared. The search began when a flash of light and an explosion were observed southwest of Oslo.
