Yanks Aim At Target 6,325 Miles Away

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The U.S. Air Force blasted an Atlas missile into space Friday night, aiming the loo-ton weapon over the full ocean . spanning range of 6,325 miles.

If the Beast, as the Atlas 15 known, drops it big nose cone on its target in the South Atlantic ocean near Ascension Island, the U.S. will have fired its first Inter- continental B all l s t i c Missile (ICBM).

There was no immediate offi- cial word on the outcome of the Atlas test. The flight, -tarting at 9:27 pm. (EST) would take only 30 minutes if all went well.

an altitude of 20,000 feet Fri- d-ay, bringing the first major snowfall of the season. Traffic accidents took at least three lives.

Traffic skidded to a snail's pace in many cities and accl- dents were numerous. In Toronto a schoolboy was killed as an heroic crosswalk guard bowled 12 other children out of the path of an omushing car. Twu dtlhe'r persons were killed in car crashes on Ontario roads.

Forecasters said the snow would keep falling until some- time today. llt would be three to six inches deep In some areas;

The snowihll came as a sur- prise. Ilt hadn’t been expected un- til Fridlay afternoon but by 8 am. Toronto had already received two inches.

Plane With 41 lands Safer After Breakdown

BOSTON (AP)-—A United Alr- lines plane from Chicago, with 41 persons aboard, landed safely Friday at Logan International airport after circling in the air for 50 minutes with a temporarily disabled landing gear.

The plane came down amid semi-darkness and rain to a safe landing on a runway covered with foam by fire and other emer- gency crew-s.

The crew had at first reported inability to lower the landing gear.

After the landing gear was lowered, it was still uncertain whether it would withstand the stress of landing and emergency airport vehicles, Boston fire de- partment apparatus and ambu- lances were lined up.

By KEN KELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CPl—Lobster poach-

ers in the Maritimes may soon be as scarce as the rum runners of prohibition days.

Although this year was one of unusual violence in the long bat- tle between poachers and con- servation officers, fisheries de- partment officials said Friday or- ganized poaching is finished. Cone stant p r e s su r e on remaining poachers spells a short term for their profitable business.

Shootings, resisting arrest and other forms of violence reached the stage this year that Fisheries Minister Machan proclaimed a “get-tough” policy. This was fol- lowed by more prosecutions and confiscations in the first 10 months of this year than in all of 1957.

Vigorous p o a c h e r resistance really reveals that they are des- perate, says Dr. A. L. Pritchard. director of the department‘s con. servation and development serv- ice.

This was disclosed Friday by an official of the Trade and Commerce Department wh 0 said “Islanders went out early in the year and fought for a bigger share of the market.”

PEI output in the first nine months of this year was almost double that during the corres- ponding period in 1957 — 31,378 cords compared with 17,758 cords. '

“Poaching isn't as well organ. iaed as it was three or four years ago. We've got it down to where there are only a couple of bad areas where a few individuals are acting more fanatically about it than before.“

These areas include the eastern coast of New Brunswick in the upper end of Kent County and Prince County in'Prince Edward Island.

Last year the legal lobster catch poured $12,300,000 into the pockets of Maritime fishermen, proving by far their most valu— able fishery. No accurate figures are available on the illegal cgtch but the department said ‘the poachers’ take must have been substantial.

Western leaders Rally

lo Back West Berlin

Premier Otto Grotewohl wel- comed the Soviet plan, as a great concession to the West. REAFFIRMS CLAIM

Grotewohl in a statement re- minded West Berliners that his regime is not backing off on its claim that all Berlin belongs to East Germany. But he said his regime would assure West Berlin of free lines of communications if West Berliners accepted the Soviet plan.

At the same time Soviet dilplo- matic officials in East Berlin said a serious situation would confront West Berlin if the so-called free city proposal is spurned.

Brandt rejected“ the free city idea as a Communist move to swallow up his city within the Soviet bloc. He appealed for Western b a c kl n g to resist the threat to the city, isolated 110 miles behind the llron Curtain.

.The mayor told a group of for- eign correspondents Friday he is not sure the Western powers will have six months—as promised by the Russians — to negotiate the Berlin question.

“They may put on pressure be- fore the end of the six-month period,” he said.

URGES COUNTER-PLAN

Brandt urged the Western pow- ers to come up with counter- proposals to the Soviet plan for a neutral West Berlin.

“They must not hesitate to deal with the German problem as a whole,” he said. “It would be logical for the Western powers to get into the problem of East Ger- many.” '

This was an apparent reference to long Western insistence on free elections to unify divided Ger- many.

Will Be In The Maritimes Before Opening Seaway

By ALAN HARVnY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) _ The Queen

and Prince Philip are going to “meet the people" in their six- week visit to Canada next sum- mer.

Tour planners are framing travel arrangements with a view to making sure the royal couple see as many ordinz y persons as possible.

The emphasis, too, will be on Canada’s smaller communities rather than on the big cities.

“It won't be a question of by- passing the big places", a tour official said. “It's just that the accent will be on seeing as much as possible of the rural areas."

It was confirmed Friday that the couple will take in all Cana- dian provinces, including some undefined “northern areas." dur- ing the visit.

BREAKS THE NEWS

This was made known after Premier Smallwood of Newfound- land announced ln St. John's that Elizabeth and Philip would visit that province.

Folding release next week of a broad tour program, officials gave this generalized picture:

The Queen and the Prince will

start their visit by flying from Britain in middune. They will go first to Newfoundland, proceed- ing from there to the Maritime: and Quebec province.

In the last week of June they will board the royal yacht Brit- annia, passing through Montreal to the international section of the St. Lawrence River for official Canada-United States ceremonies opening the seaway. There will be 17 Canadian naval officer: and ratings aboard the royal yacht. '

EPEXT EISENHOWER

There is every expectation that President Eisenhower will be on hand for the ceremonies. o

After the joint ceremony, the royal couple will travel through the Great Lakes, stopping at varlous ports. They will then visit the western provinces and some parts of northern Canada.

The visit will mark the Queen's first coast-to-coast .bour of Can- ada since She came here in Oc- tober, 1951, as Princess Eliza- beth. She said then she con- ceived a “love for Canada that will never grow cold." She made her first visit as Queen in 00- tober, 1957, but did not go beyond the capital area.
