aipection of her damaged hull.

The salvage operation for which preparations had been going on for two days was carried out smoothly with only one hitch.

That was when a cable from the liner's stern to the transport de- partment tug Lady Grey broke. A new cable was rigged in a few minutes and the liner which had been grinding slowly backward started to move steadily. picking up speed.

Several hundred Quebecers watched the scene from the Is- land of Orleans.

The liner bound for Liverpool. went hard aground at Pointe au Taureau on a bend in Quebec hnrbor's eastern exit at 9:45 pm. last Wednesday.

Its 850 passengers were dis- embarkcd quickly without loss of life or injury.

Cause of the grounding has not been announced but a steering mcchnnism failure was reported.

A preliminary attempt to re- float the Franconia was made early. Thursday morning but fail- ed and Cunard Donaldson called for the assistance of the Halifax

Programuli-overs Men And Output Of War Materials

(By John M. Higistower) WASHINGTON. July 16-(AP)- High administration officials said this week-end that President Tru- man will send Congress a special message by next mid-week asking

funds and authority to carry through a partial mobilization program.

The program. covering both men and production of war material. will be adequate to meet the Ko- rean crisis and the broader West- ern-Russian emergency. it was said. but will not put the coun- try on zi full war footing.

Information vital to the final decisions was given the President and other leaders Saturday by Gen. J. Lawton Collins and Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg. the army and air force chiefs of staff. Just re- turned from Tokyo and the Ku- rcnn battlefront.

Collins said at a press confer- encc that U. S. forces will be able to hold an "extensive bridgehead" on the Korean peninsula. and will later be able to launch an attack from there that will throw out the Communists.

He said new weapons and am- munition including tanks are be- inl! rushed into the battle area.

Both Collins and Vandenberg re- ported they were completely satis- fied with the performance and morale of the Americans in Ko- res.

Defence headquarters -today dis- played a slightly more cheerful aspect today as new reports from the Korean battlefront came in.

Canadian Boys Gel Second Thrill

LONDON, July l6-(Reuf.ers)- The 24 Canadian schoolboys a- board the Franconia when she grounded in the St. Lawrence Riv- er. near Quebec. had another tlirili today when the B. O. A. C. Strato- cruiser aboard which they dnished their Journey landed at London airport with one engine out of action.

The boys saw fire engines and ambulances standing by as their giant aircraft prepared to land. It made the runway safely at the second attempt.

The boys were flown here as the guests of Garfield Weston. the Canadian-born biscuit manufact- urer. to study England and mix with English boys.

One group landed in the early morning and an hour later were playing football at their reception centre at Amersham. Buckingham- shire.

In exchange for the visit of the Canadians. 50 British boys are to leave for Canada Aug. 1. Their visit. too, has been arranged by Weston.

No Settlement In Sight For Freight Rate Issue

0'I'l'AWA, July I6-(CP)-The long and involved freight-rate is- Ne of the last 356 Years looks as though it will go on for sometime to come.

Still pending before the Cab- inet is an appeal by seven provin- cial governments against the 1040- 50 series of rate increases.

On the horizon is the prospect of a new application by the rail- ways for a further boost.

Indications now are that the Cabinet's decision. cleaning up the old one. will be down Just about in time to coincide with the open- ing of the new.

informed government sources say the decision appeal may be ready about mid-August. That would'roughly coincide with the time when railway employees' wage-hour demands are due to reach a climax.

The railways have committed themselves to partial granting of the demands. at a cost of almost 318,000,000 a yesr.- They have said that would cause them to go to the Board of Trsnlport Commis- sinners for another rate hike.

i (By The Canadian Press) '

OTTAWA. July 18-Momentous decisions face the Canadian Gov- ernment this week. arising from the United Nations appeal for ad- ditional help in Korea and the dis- couraging news of the fighting there.

A cabinet meeting Wednesday may bring answers to two quest- ions of vital interest to Canadians:

i. Will ground and air forces be added to the three-destroyer naval units now speeding to aid the de- fenders of Southern Korea?

2. Will Parliament be called in emergency session to approve the ,despatch of additional assistance?

Prime Minister St. Laurent is interrupting a vacation at his summer home. at St. Patrice. Que.. far down the St. Lawrence River. to attend Wednesday's meeting. He will arrive by train Monday morning.

Other ministers within reach of Ottawa also will come in for the regular weekly session because of the new development.

Canada”: Sailors Receive Jail

VICTORIA. B. C.. July 16--(CP) -Canada's sailors now heading for the Korean War are getting the letter; sent them from the folks at home.

The fleet mail office at Esqui- malt reported Saturday the three- ship destroyer flotilla had acknow- ledged receipt, of two mails dis- patched from here between July 5 and July 12.

Reversing the situation. the fleet mail office received more than 1.000 letters from the ships Friday. None of the mail is be- ingd censored. a navy spokesman sai

Officials To Confer

. Cabinet Faces Momentous Decisions About Korea

day. in a sweltering capital almost deserted by holidaying ministers and officials, it seemed unlikely that any hasty action would be taken.

It is known that ever since Prime Minister St. Laurent an- nounced diversion of three Pacific- based destroyers for possible ser- vice in Korean waters. the Gov- crnmcnt has based its planning on the possibility that additional aid might be necessary.

If the decision is to send ground troops or air groups. or both, pre- sumably it would take some time to mobilize and organize them and it would be a matter-of months before they couid get into action.

It will be a fdrtnight before the destroyers. Athabaskan. Cayuga and Sioux can reach the war area. They sailed from Hawaii late Fri- day.

Britain's wartime Prime Minis- ter asserted that "promoting and directing the war in Korea" is only one aspect of a relentless. global drive for domination by the Com- munists.

In Next Few Months

OTTAWA. July l8-(GP)-A ser- ies of conferences during the next few months will bring together of- ficials of practically all major branches of the federal and prov- inciai governments.

The conferences will deal with matters ranging from the const- itution to civil defence.

The attorneys-general of the Ii Canadian governments will meet here Aug. 21 to resume study of proposals for transferring from the United Kingdom to Canada the power to make all amendments to the constitution.

If the committee of attorneys- gsnerai reaches a measure of a ee- ment the Dcminion-Provincial con- stitutionai conference, adjourned last January will be reconvened to seek final approval to the plans for giving Canada complete con- trol of her own constitution.

A general Dominion-Provincial Ccnfcrenco is scheduled for Sept- ember or October to deal with such things as social security. tax- ation agreements and public in- vestment programs.

The defence department has announced that another Domin- ion-Provincial conference will be called in the fall to discuss civil

ivrsies.

World's Largest Flying Boat Covers 480 Miles With Two Engines Out

SAN FRARCISCO. July 16 - (AP)-One 3.000-horsepower engine and a sputtering second. both on one side of the 02 1-2-ton Caroline Mars. brought in the World's larg- est operational flying boat over the last 480 harrowing miles from Honolulu Saturday.

A woman and 17 men. all navy personnel, arrived safely shepherded over the last agonizing part of the trip by five rescue planes while coast guard boats and navy de- stroyers stood ready below.

The outer of the two engines on the right side of the 2m-foot wing began to sputter less than 100 miles out. The two on the left side already were out.

By then the in aboard had tossed out baggage. gear. equipment and hundreds of gallons of gasoline. only to watch the crippled giant drop ever tower from an slt'tude of 7.000 feet down to 1.000 feet above the waves of the Pacific.

The first trouble developed when the Mara was within ooo mils of San Francisco on a 2,400-mile flight from Honolulu.

Savage -llbitie' On South Bank Of lium iliver

(By The Canadian Press)

TOKYO. July 17 .- (Monday) -North Korean forces drove Un- ited States infantry back from the south bank of the Kusn lllver late Sunday In bitter fighting which threatened a. sweep on Tar.-Jon. 15 miles to the southeast.

The Communist armies made their newest and most savage drive toward the temporary South Korean capital after what troops returning from the front lines called a fierce artillery barrage. U. S. soldiers said the Iteds "threw unstoppable numbers" at the Am- erican front line.

The Reds thrust across at the site of a shattered highway bridge last night after U. S. troops had withdrawn in the face of a flank- ing threat from the original Com- munist bridgehcsd 12 miles to the southwest.

The Reds paid heavily U. S. warplanes blasted Communist sol- diers from the bridge and foiled an attempt to thropv tanks across. A late field dispatch said the Reds still had no tanks south of the Kum. as far as was known.

The dispatch by Associated Press correspondent William R. Moore said. perhaps significantly, that 'tTaejon has not yet fallen." There have been no reports that the city of 100.000 had been lost.

The dispatch seemed to reflect, however. the uncertainty on the front.

Some American units were forced to run a gauntlet of savage cross-fire from Red mortars and small arms to reach new positions from which to continue the battle.
