O'I'I‘AWA, (Special) -- Prince Edward Island fishermen are earning almost as much money this year as they did in 1957.

The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics disclosed Thursday that the value of fish caught off Is- land waters in the period Jan. l—Sept. 30 was $3,151,000. This compares with $3,179,000 in the same mine montlm of last year.

The lobster catch was again the most profitable for those engaged in this phase of the industry. Cod provided the next largest return. The value of lobster landings was $2,413,000, compared wrtn $2,429,000 3 year ago. Ood caught was worth $163,000, as against $149,000 in 1957.

' Explosion, Fire Take Two Lives

PALERMO, Ont. (CPI—Work- men Thursday found gas leaking from a defective valve across the road from a house wrecked Wed- nesday night by an explosion which took the lives of a young mother and her infant son.

A US Coast Guard cutter sped from Erie, Pa., to see if the five men known to have been aboard were afloat in the vicinity.

The wreckage was sighted about eight off the Pennsyl- vania shore of the lake, several miles south of the point where ga‘les that reached 60 miles an hour tore the structure apart be- fore dawn.

J. E. Wolfe, a geologist with Underwater Ga-s Developers Lim- ited, which owned the steel tower anchored on the lake 28 miles southeast of here, said that their families were being notified of the finding of the rig.

News that the rig was gone came first from the skipper of the US. collier Sumatra, en route early Thursday to Port Burwell with a load of coal. The owners said it apparently keeled over sometime before dawn during the gales that swept the Great Lakes and shore areas of southern 0n- tario.

Truce Ends Israeli-UAR Tank Duel

'I‘IIBIE‘RIIAS, Israel (0P) —- A United Nations - imposed truce Thursday ended a two—hour tank and artillery duel between Israeli and United Arab Republic forces near Lake Huleh.

Swift intervention by UN mil- itary observers succeeded in choking off the barrage over the Syrian border at 4 pm. local time. An earlier request that fighting cease at 3 pm. had been ignored.

Thursday’s incident apparently began with sporadic rifle fire di- rected against an Israeli tractor plowing land in reclaimed fields south of Lake Huleh.

Within minutes it became a battle—with both sides using ar- tillery, mortars and tanks.

28 Persons On Hiiockecl Cuban

Airliner Safe

HAVANA, Cuba (AP) A Cuban airhnr' " er that vanished Wednesday night is in rebel hands and all 28 persons aboard are safe, a qualified source said Thursday. It was the third Cuban airliner to be hijacked in little more than two weeks.

The informant said radio mes- sages from the Cuban Airlines DC-3 reported the aircraft is be- ing held on a rebel air strip.

The radio messages said the rebels promised to turn over the 25 passengers to the Interna- tional Red Cross as soon as it can be arranged. No mention was made of returning the three crew members.

Strong Quake Inlapan

TOKYO (Arm—A strong earth- quake centered deep under the ocean bed of the western Pacific shook northern Japan for two irightening minutes Thursday.

A tidal wave warning was flashed throughout Hokkaido, the northernmost Japanese island, but was cancelled later.

National police said they had no immediate reports of casual- ties.

Kushiro, 800 miles north of Tokyo on Hokkaido‘s eastern coast, absorbed the strongest re- ported jolt. It registered five on a Japanese scale of seven. Five is strong enough to crack walls, topple some rigid buildings and

cause other damage.

Moon Rocket Firing May - ITake Place Early Today

CAPE CANAvElRJALL, Fla. (AP) An improved space prober, Pio~ neer H, waited out t.’ 1e, weather and good fortune Thursday night for a possible launching in the early hours Friday.

If plans and schedules mesh properly the threestage launch- ing rocket, more than 88 feet tall, will hurl its 85-pound payload or fourth stage literally out of this world.

The payload will include—along with a small terminal rocket—25 pounds of instruments. including a light-sensing device designed to relay to earth crude photographic impressions of the far side of the moon.

If all went well as the payload coasted on toward space, some time early next Sunday afternoon a radio signal from might touch off the terminal rocket and send the probe into a lunar onbit.

Attainment of the vicinity of the moon would represent a major step beyond the achieve- ment of Pioneer 1.

“We could not accept any plan if advanced at any time which would have the effect of creating a triumrvirate of authority for the making of political or other de- cisions for NATO," he told a press conference here.

The Canadian leader, visiting the RCAF’s No. 2 fighter wing here as part of his 544d'ay world tour, was asked for his opinion on what a reporte; called French Premier de Gaulle‘s proposal for a three-nation “directorate” on global policy with NATO’s big three—France, Britain and the United States.

WELCOME CONSIDERATION

Diefenbaker said Canada would welcome consideration of any change to improve NATO but he added:

"NATO was founded on a com- mon contribution by member na- tions and any alterations in that concept would require a rebuild- ing of the structure of NATO—— something I’m sure no one would desire to bring about."

In their Paris meeting Wednes- day, Diefentbaker and de Gaulle discussed proposals for stronger political consultation that the French leader made in letters to Prime Minister Macmillan and President Eisenhower.

Stocks Advance In Wake Of Democratic Election Sweep

Industrials broke through to record highs on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges Thurs- day on the strength of a buying surge prompted in part by the Democratic election victory in the United States.

Brokers said Wall Street was buoyed by the belief that US. government spending will be

greater in the next two years as a result of the strong grip the Democrats took on both Houses of Congress in Tuesday's elec- tion. ’

last Body Removed

HALIFAX (CP) — The violent underground upheaval that killed 74 miners in No. 2 colliery at Springrhill, N.S., will be investi~ gated by a royal commission, the Nova Scotia government an- nounced Thursday.

The provincial cabinet made the decision while miners con- tinued the grim job of bringing out the last remaining bodies from the shattered pit.’ Mines Minister Manson said the com- mission’s terms of reference had not been worked out.

Mr. Manson said commission personnel probably would not be named for several weeks.

The commission is expected to have a job similar to the inquiry into a Nov. 1, 1956, explosion and fire in neighboring No. 4 mine in which 39 men were killed.

1956 COMMISSION

Donald Mlclnnes, Halifax law- yer, headed the 1956 commission. Members were G. ‘A. Vissac, Montreal mining engineer, and F. E. Grillfitih of Pittsburgh, en- gineer with the United States Bu- reau out Mines.

Mr. Manson said he will meet this morning with Labor Minister Pyrke, a Springhill native, to dis- cuss the town's rehabilitation. They will contact federal Revenue Minister Nowian later today, he said. Mr. Nowlan is Nova Scotia’s representative in the federal carb- inet.

The last body was removed from the mine Thursday night. two weeks to the hour after the bump.

The royal commission will study the general behavior of “bumps,” a phenomenon of the Cumberland Railway and Coal Company at Springhill. More than 400 bumps, slight and: major, have been recorded there. The latest was the most severe since records were started about 40 years ago. Bumps earlier this year injured 14 miners.

RUNAWAY TRAIN

The 1956 commission blamed the No. 4 explosion on a runaway coal train, but attached no re- sponsibility to any individual. Its report, released more than 13 months after the accident, said six loaded cans of a sevemcar train became uncoupled, roared down the No. 4 hoisting slope and cut an electric cable.

An electric arc ignited clouds of coal dust stirred up by the runaway. A tremendous explosion followed, prdbaibly worsened by the presence of lethal methane gas.

The commission recommended tightened safety regulations, and better training and tougher phy- sical examinations for mine res-
