VANCOUVER. Nov. 39 — (C?) — Hint of sabotage aboard a Canadian-built troopshlp en route to Chisng Kai-Shaka forces in Shanghai came today from 39 re- patriated seamen who arrived here during the week-end.

The Canadian sailors were crews of the Kul Men and the Chlng Men. two aluminum-hull trans- ports which they delivered to the Ming Sung Industrial Corpor- ation of Shanghai. The 800-ton ships were bililt in Montreal.

A spokesman said that during the 74-day trip it was discovered tlle steering engine of the Clung Men vvas not. secured properly. On another occasion the welding connecting the keclgrab of a life- boat broke loose during a storm.

Capt. Alv mums of the Ching Men said:

"The steering engine mishap was very serious. several bolts had been fastened by only a fevv threads to the foundation plane, with no nuts under the foundation to secure it properly.

"When the lifeboat welding broke," he said, "the. crevv had a dangerous time securing the boat again as the ship was pitching in heavy seas."

The men are the first. of 120 Canadian seamen being flown to Eastern Canada from Shanghai after delivery of the ships. which are. to be, used for troop-carrying on the Yangtze River.

PARIS. Nov. 29 (OP) -—‘ l-lumanlty is not yst safe from the threat of germ warfare, Gen. A.Ct.L. McNaughton, Canuiasat- omlc energy expert, said today.

"Unlike atomic weapons, the most. vinilent. bacteria can be pro- duced without control in existing laboratories." he said in an in- terview prior to leaving for Lon- don.

McNaugliloit added, however. that "no known method exists for infecting large populations with germ viruses."

"If this becomes known. it would be possible, for example. to poison l000,000 persons with only one pound of diphtheria culture.

"since there ls no way of eon- irolllng bacteria, efforts in west- tern countries at. present are de- voted to means of defence.

"it. is believed that any nation with an_ efficient health service could quickly detect a germ al- tack, and take effective preclu- tlons against it."

PARIS, Nov. 29 (AP) French coal miners ended their longest strike iii history today on orders of Communist union lead- ers - and it looked as though everybody lost.

Three miners were killed and hundreds of police and strikers ‘were injured during the strike which hogan Oct. 4. More than 2.000 persons were anested,

Franco and the European Re- ccvcrv Program lost 5.000.000 tons of coal unntined in the 56 days of strike.

The miners had virtually noth- trig to show for their walkout. Os-

icusiibll‘. they struck for more pay. t

They did not get it.

Even Communist labor lead- crs were reported disappointed, fearing they may lose their grip on the French labor movement if they can no longer vvin gains my

during tlle strike.

Brewster Pleased With Potato Deal

"Such a voluntary agreement." ha. told rrportcrs. "la highly gratifying and a great step for- ward. ll is a glittering recognition of the protective principle under the reciprocal trade agreement policy."

"It. is believed that. this control and inspection would all but elim- inate the potential threat of other terrible weapons of mass slaugh- tern".

He expressed the opinion that. the dangers of bacteriological and chemical warfare are "not now of the aamc magnitude as the peril of the atomic bomb."
