29 Deadh Most Serious Incidenijo Dale

CAIRO, Dec. 3-(AP)-The most sefious clash yet between British troops and Egyptian; in the Suez Canal zone resulted today in the deaths of 29 on both sides. an

Egyptian Government commun- ique reported. The announcement said the

fighting in and around the town oi Suez is continuing tonight.

It listed the Egyptian dead as two policemen and 14 civilians. the Britons as 13 servicemen. The Egyptians also claimed 13 police- men and 55 civilians were wound- ed.

The Egyptians called the fight- ing the bloodiest that has occur- red since the beginning of the Anglo-Egyptian crisis in mid-

ctober.

For the first time the British forces announced they had taken "prisoners". They said they had captured as. The Egyptians said 08 were wounded on their side.

Two clashes in the city of Suez. one at noon and a second in which the British forces lost seven killed in an ambush. shat- tered the truce negotiated after the Ismailia battle of Nov. 10 in which 18 were killed.

The combined death toll of 29 in the two accounts would raise the unofficial total to 73 killed in Canal Zone fighting since mid- October.

The British account of the noon battle said "terrorists" and Egypt- ian police opened fire on a party of army engineers. An Egyptian spokesman in the zone gave a different version. He said an Egyptian police patrol was fired on when it passed near a British camp and police returned the fire. He estlmetedr the British casual-

(By Norman Altstedter) PARIS. Dec. 3- (CP)-Andrei Vishlnsky apparently made clear during secret Big Four talks to- day that Soviet views have not changed on the question of atomic control.

A Western spokesman said the Russian Foreign Minister gave "useful clarification" of the Rus- sian position but indicated that Russia still demands prohibition of atomic bombs before agreeing to discuss international control.

The spokesman also indicated that Vishlnsky sidesiepped the question of whether Russia would allow United Nations inspectors inside the Soviet Union immed- lately after an order for prohibi- tion of atomic bombs.

PEI Seed Samples Arrive In Florida

Word has been received by the P.E.I. Potato Marketing Board that the 42 samples of seed po- tatoes for Florida testing arrived there in good condition. They have been planted outdoors in the sun to develop the sprouts. and it is expected that the plants

will be above ground by Dec. 25th-Jan. 1st. at the latest. Growth there is very rapid

once the plants have made a good root system, and readings for disease will be made from the

8,000 Ford -Workers On Strike At Windsor Plant

strike on the firing this morning of 28 factory employees and on the failure of a conciliation board to submit a report on wage-con tract hearings held here Oct. 8 and 9.

Rhys M. Sale, Ford Company president. said the 28 men were fired "for inciting fellow em- ployees to take . part in an un- authorized work stoppage" last Thursday. The stoppage coat a loss of 47.000 man hours of pro- ductlon.

Today's walkout was the latest flare-up in.a six-month-long un- Ion-company dispute over the signing of a 1951 wage contract. Last year's contract was due to expire May 29.

Throne Speech Debate On Final lap

OTTAWA. Dec. Jig -- (CP) -- By a vote of 103 to 39. the Commons today rejected a Progressive Con- servative non-confidence motion urging the government to take "adequate" steps to combat infla- tion and deal effectively with the cost of living.

C.C.F. and Liociai Credit mem- bers voted with the Progremivo Conservatives.

It was the third non-confidence motion downed in the lengthy Throne-Speech debate which be- gan with the opening of this fall

' Oct. 9 and has been going twice weekly since.

Previously. the chamber voted M0 to 10 against a C.C.F. demand for price controls and subsidies and 145 to 55 against a social Cre- dit motion criticizing the govern- ment for alleged "failure" to com- pensate needy war veterans for the high living costs.

Discuss Various Subjects

As the debate moved towards I close. a half-dozen speakers took the floor to discuss education. lux- ury taxes. credit restrictions on motor car sales. the distribution of war orders and action to halt soil erosion.

As the House opened. Prime Min- ister Bt. Laurent promised that everything possible will be done to help Canadian nuns imprisoned in Red China without bringing more harm to them or. other Canadians detained by the Communists

He described as "fantastic" the: Communist charge that the five nuns had been responsible for the deaths of more than 2.000 child- ren in their orphanage. The Chin- "Aipparently chose to ignore the fact that the majority of the child- ren taken to the orphanage already were "ailing and beyond recovery." And he suggested Canada's ren- eral security mecautionn probably would be compromised if a board was established to hear represent- ations from individuals before de- cisions were taken as to their re- liability for security purposes.

Soviet Atomic, Control Views Are Unchanged

The group spent 4 U2 hours behind closed doors getting down to the essential points of differ- ence which are snarling East- West agreement on methods of reducing their armed might.

The sub-committee agreed to use the Western peace plan. and the Russian amendment to it. as the basis for discussion. A British suggestion to split the points of conflict into the "easy" one and "difficult" ones. studying each category separately, was turned down.

The delegates decided that if they become deadlocked on one point. they will go onto the next to see how much general agree- ment ihcy can reach before they report back to the U. N. political committee next Monday.

Agriculture Conference Opens Today At Ottawa

By HAROLD MORRISON

O'I'rAWA. Dec. 3 - (GP) - Ag- riculture ministers and their dep- uties from every province will go.- ther here tomorrow to ponder the outlook for Canadian farmers in 1952. They likely will find it the brightest since the Second World War.

The Korean war. and the West- ern rearmament drive that it sparked. has created fresh demand for Canadian agricultural products.

It has wiped out the heavy sur- pluses that threatened farmers just two years ago and brought. the possibility that Canada may. have to turn to other countries to bol- ster its own food needs.

Here are some problems to be thrcshed out at the three-day an- nual Federal-Provlncial confer- ence:

1. With higher wages at factor- ies attracting workers away from farmers. the problem of getting sufficient help has become a major worry for Canadian farmers. Dele- gates likely will call for increased and selective immigration to boost denleted farm labor ranks.

2. A large part of Canada's bumper wheat crop still lies on prairie fields and there may be some discussion of the govern- ment's transportation policies.

3. Though highly important from the long-range view. is the ques- tion of government policy on ag- ricultural floor prices. The Canad- ian Federation of Agriculture. spokesman for some 400,000 farm- ers. likely will continue to seek government support. for 1952.

4. Agriculture Minister Gardiner likely will discuss his talks with British Government officials con- cerning Canada's markets in Brit- nin in the coming year.

Canada's wheat production still

is far more than she requires for her own needs. but her milk out- put is steadily declining and the outlook for 1952 - which the con- fcrence will survey - probably will show even smaller production than 1951. Milk production this year new is estimated at 16.350.000.000 pounds. down about l.000.000.000 pounds from the 1943-47 average of 17.380 000.000.

with milk output declining. but- ter production also may drop -' wlth Canada seeking --more and more of her butter supplies from other countries. She is importing both cheese and butter this year.

Eight Airin-en Killed; 5 Houses SmashetLBumed

DENVER. colo., Dec. 3 -(ap. -A B-29 bomber with one engine dead, crashed into a residential area here today. killing eight air. men.

Six airmen were injured.

The crippled craft mowed through five houses and set the debris ufire. Only two civilians were hurt.

The bomber, pancaking slowly in as it went into a stall, cut a

swath about two houses wide and less than a block long. two miles

short of Lowry Air Force base runway. The fact that most residents

were away from home, or were in sections of the homes not hit by the bomber saved them fiom death in the debris which burst into flames. '

"We were coming in in good shape and I didn't realize we were in any danger and the next thing we crashed," said Sgt. William A.

Zippel. 29. flight engineer, -of Baudettc, Minn. The injured civilians "were it

maid in one of the houses struck and a fireman who suffered a broken arm during rescue operat- ions.

Large Increase In Wood Islands Traffic Figures

An increase of over 4,200 pas- sengers carried this year is re- vealed in figures releasedl last night by the Northumberiand Ferries Limited. The totals show that in 1950 the service operating between Wood Islands. P.lJ.l.. and Caribou. N.S.. handled 74.521 pas- sengers. During the season of op- eration this year which ended last Friday the line carried 78.744 DESSQIIZEFS.

The figures also show that the Northumberland Ferries carried 20.068 autos lhis season, an in- crease of 1.253 over the total for last year. The only decrease in- dicafed came in the number of trucks ferried between the two Provinces.' This season there were 5,952 while last year there were 5.904. or a decrease of 12.

An indication of the value of the service to this Province is shown in the total amount of lrafflc handled by it during the 11 years it has been in operation starting with the season of 1941. Since that time there has been a total of 584.018 passenger: making ")8 Journey on the ships in ser- vice.

TORONTO, Dec. 3- (CP)-An executive of the Canadian Air- llne Pilots Association said today Trans-Canada Air Lines has sus- pended in pilot who refused to permit a Toronto civic official whom he considered "intoxicated" to sit on his aircraft's flight deck.

The official said the pilot was one of five flight officers sus- pended by ihe company as a re- sult of a dispute between T. C. A. and the Pilots Association over what the official termed T. C. A. attempts to seat passengers on the flight decks of aircraft. He said the pilots involved had been enforcing a recent C.A.L.P.A. directive forbidding the sealing of unauthorized passengers on the flight decks of aircraft.

An aircraft's night deck is the forward compartment of the ship

which contains the pilot's eon- irola. radio. navigation equip- mom and all control panels used
