Mr. MacNamara, government-ap- pointed conciiiator in the labor dispute, expressed optimism over ihe trend of negotiations and said he believed a "compromise agree. mimt” will be reached on "remain- trig differences."

He declined to elaborate or to in- (iicnte on what points agreement already has been reached. Negotia. lions opened July 22 on workers' demands for a 45-cent-an-hour wage boost.

Mr. MacNamara. said the decision to ask Labor Minister Gregg tn ap-l point a. three-man conciliation. board was made following a round of discussion between the concilia- tor, rail management and worker xgbpresentatives at Montreal Satur-

ay.

He said he expected'Mr. Gregg will make an announcement "very shortly." Under the Federal labor iaw, the Board will consist of a representative of the workers, man- agement and a chairman selected by the diaputanis. If they cannot agree on a. chairman, the govern- ment will step in to make a selec- flan.

"Negotiations have proceeded very harmoniously." said Mr. Mac- Namara. ”and in a good. friendly spirit. The fact that a conciliation board is to follow is not an indica- tion that a serious conflict exists."

The decision to ask for a concil- iation board, he added, was influ- enced by "consciousness of the large amount of money involved. the very large number of employees concern- ed and the general public interest.”

Find Radar Can Be -Tricked Also

CHAMPAIGN, III. .Aug. 3-(AP) - scientists have spotted "a flying river." No pint-sized flying saucer. A man-sized river 100 miles long.

Observers spotted the wayward stream several nights ago on their radar screen at the University of 11.111101! NTDDTR--' ...,....

It had them in deep water for a while. They finally figured out it was a reflected radar image of a 100-mile-long section of the Illinois River, 80 miles west of the airport.

The Illinois state water survey's airport station has kept I. radar check on the skies since 1948.

Meteorologist Glenn E. stout said the station's observers have sighted some weird objects-fmm "flying saucers" to colored neon signs and rows of street lights.

Stout said some of the images were caused by rain high in the air which never reached the ground.

Others were reflections of ground objects caused by the bending of radar rays. Layers of hot and cold air have different densities. Toge- ther they act like lenses or prisms. bending radar and light rays.

Theories-Have Plane. Quake. Gas As Cause

MONTREAL, Aug. .'l -- (C?) --A mysterious blast or explosion that shook widely-separated sections of: the city Saturday remained just that tonight-a mystery.

The blast, described generally as it "jolt", was felt in the north. east and downtown sections but- pollce could find no trace of dam- age or injury, the Fire Depart- ment said no large fires were re-

ported. the Water Works Com- pany said it could find nothing wrong.

An electronic expert said it could have been the shock caused when an aircraft broke through the sonic barrier - that is when It reached the speed of sound-but experts at Dorvai Airport said such a. shock would only be felt over a half-mile area.

The theory of an underground explosion, perhaps caused by sewer gas collecting in water mains. was

advanced but here too it was no dice. Police and newspaper switch-

boards were flooded with calls re- porting ”ti'cmendous blasts, bulld- ings shaking, an earthquake.

As each theory was put forward, there was something to discount ll..

There was the ”an-nirplane- blew-up" proposal but there were no reports of aircraft missing from civil or military airports; it ap- peared too short and sharp to be classified as an earthquake, normal- ly of longer duration.

One woman reported she saw a "ball of fire” coming down from the sky; buildings shock in places as far apart. as the waterfront and the suburban town of Mount Roy- al, at. least five miles away; some persons reported "terrific explos- ions,” others felt buildlngsi shake but heard nothing.

Following a. wcek-and of invest- igation, perplexed officials scratch- ed their heads. They still had no explanation to, offer.

Burglors Curry Off Safe With 512.000

Agricultural officials in Char- lottetown last night announced that an outbreak of anthrarhas been confirmed in the Roscviilc area. in West Prince County.

tiThe disease Is confined to three premises in this area." states Dr. George 0. Fisher, director of veterinary services in the Provin- cial Department of Agriculture. "These farms have been under strict quarantine and all necessary control measures have been estab- llshed.

”This disease is caused by a soil- borne organism and can be repro- duced only by contact with infect- ed material such as contaminated soil or animals which have died of the disease. Although anthrax is considered serious it is not regard- ed as bcing contagious."

Report Bordeaux Jail Rioting Under Control

MONTREAL, Aug. 8 -(CF)- The riot at Montreal's Bordeau Jail is "offibially over." a high po- lice official said late today.

As the statement came from the police official who asked to re- main anonymous. clean-up and mop-up squads were at work in the rambling jail just north of here where some 500 prisoners ran loose Friday nigh't after smashing cell block master locks.

Today. most of the prisoners,. who setup a score of fires Rilll clashed with police and guards in a series of skirmishes after breaking out, were back in their cells behuid repaired and reinforced locks.

The over-all picture still was not too clear but the brief police state- ment was terse and to the point:

"The riot is officially over. No further disturbances are expected

will be back in their cells before noon tomorrow." During the weelc-end. remained high but strong squads of police, prepared gency, held the upper hand. Reports that a convict informer had told police the prisoners might be preparing for another demon- stration increased the hair-trigger tension hut police, at the time. said they had the situation in hand through removal from the jail of

TORONTO, Aug. 3-(CP)-The General Commission of the Red Cross tried Saturday to arrange for an impartial invastlgatlon of Communist charges that the Un- ited Nations has resorted to gar warfare and atrocities in Korea.

It passed a resolution asking "the governments concerned to a'ubmIt those charges to investiga-

tion on a commonly-agreed has- is." China and Korea uniil' now

have studfattly opposed such an lnvelti ation by the International Comm ttce of the Red Cross. The resolution passed would in effect indicate another body for the in-

The new outfit is the "Korean Communications zone.” It will handle all the back-area. support for the fighting army, prisoners of war and civil assistance.

Its commander. whose main headquarters are at Taegu, is Maj.- Gen. Thomas W. Herren.

Gen. Mark Ciarkts Far East Command headquarters two weeks ago announced that Van Fleet's all-Korea command would be split for the sake of efficiency.

The importance of the new ounimiinications zone is shown in the fact that Herren's command is parallel to. and not under, Van Fleets Eighth Army. Both Gen- erals will report as equals to Clark in Tokyo. -
