Small Gold Ring Only Clue To Girlis Identity

Queen's Univer- sity patliologlst, said any one of tile five knife wounds were enough to have caused death. One was in the left eye, piercing the brain. two were in the chest and two more in the abdomen.

Dr. Hay described the girl as about 20 years of age and five feet eight inches tall. She weighed about 125 pounds and had long dark hair with some slightly gray streaks. There was a small mole over the right eyebrow and a chickenpox scar under the brow. He said her hands had "long. well- cared-for fingers."

A senior police official said it appeared the girl was the victim of ” a very sadistic attack." Residents of Dixon's Corners. a crossroads community close to the spot where the body was found. said they had never seen the girl before.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (AP)- Syria denounced Friday diversion of the Jordan river as a flagrant violation of the Syrian- Isrceli armistice and called on the security couiicli to do something about it.

Raiik Asha, Syrian delegate, an-

nounced at a. press conference that he was appealing to the council. He declined to say at this time just what action he would seek. The council, already involved in a. flare-up of debate on Trieste, is expected to consider the Syrian Jordan case next week. Israel wants to alter the Jordan river bed between Lake I-iuelii and the Sea of Galilee for irrigation purposes. The, mixed armistice commission had called on Israel to discontinue the work, but Israel had refused to comply.

BOSTON, (AP)-A rumbling ex- plosion tore through the big United States aircraft cui'i'iei' Lcyfe Fri- day, killing at least 30 and injuring 40 others,

It was not known immediately how many of the dead were offic- ers or ratings. It was reported some civilian n-avy yard employees were among, the victims.

The 27,500-ton ship was tied up at the south Boston naval ship- yard annex when the explosion and fire swept below decks forward.

The fire which accompanied the blast charred some of the bodies so badly that naval spokesmen said identification will be difficult.

Capt. Thomas A. Ahroom, a navy pilot who took command of the 856-foot-long ship Sept. 27. said that rescue parties and damage control men were in action "in seconds” after the blast shook the ship.

Capt Ahroom was in his cabin when clouds of "bright" smoke swirled in and blocked two exits.

He climbed out an r-scape hatch through the side of the ship and ascended a ladder to the flight deck to direct rescue and fire- fighting opeI'ai.iom. .

More than 50 Boston fire trucks and rescue coin-panics raced to the yard to lend aid.

Says No Cause For Alarm .rRe Potato Pool Marketing

Implications of the present potato marketing agreement as ei- iectlng existing trade iiI'l'ai'IgC- ments between this country and the United States were fully explored last summer, Mr. Donald A. Mac- Donald, chairman of the P. E. I. Potato Marketing Board, said last night in reply to an article appear- ing in the New York Packer.

The article expressed fears that the proposed pool plan of market- ing would iead to "dumping" Can- adian poiatoes on the U. 5. market at low pl'lCE5.

Mr. MacDonald said that in the considered opinion of agricultural officials and at the Canadian Em- bassy in Washington the only pos- sible objection from United States sources would be if this Province made sales to that country at a. lower price level than prevails in this country.

"We do not propose to follow such a course of action," Mr. Mac- Donald stated, "and any sales al- ready made by our selling agency to the United States potato trade have been at it level as high or higher than can be obtained in Canada. Under the present mar- keting plan the American trade will enjoy a greater measure of price level protection than they might otherwise have, and for that reason present marketing practices should not be any cause for alarm,

either in our Province or in the United Staies."

The Board selling agency nireariyj has purchased and re-sold 130 car- loads of potatoes. Mr. MacDonald said. He added that dealers, on- sembleis and producers are ac- qulring their licences and JIQIIILR market agreements as fast as iii:-y can be accommodated. As a i'cs.i:ii: of this, he said, they were now reaching the point where they can give a reasonable degree of III- ficient marketing service lb those who wish to make use of the new facilities. ,

The Packer article briefly culling ed the proposed pool plan and ex- pressed the view of one observer that under the plan dealers could assemble potatoes and deliverihem to the pool for the guaranteed prices, than re-purchase them all their own price with the Domluiruii Government absorbing the loss. It was this which led to fears of dumping on U. S. markets at low prices.

The article was dlscused at a. meeting of potato dealers in sunr- merside, according to a press re- lease issued two days after the meeting. The press was barred: from attending. 4
