Jrgent Requirements For Fire Department Stressed

The urgent need of a portable generating lighting plant. a new fire alarm system and is life net was strongly emphasized last night at a largely attended an- nual meeting of the City Fire D0- pariment. The meeiinil was held in the City Hall with Fire Chief ll. ll. Jewell presidiniz.

Fire Chief Jewell called atten- tion to the fact that the doors of the Fire Station should be wider and should open upwards. Other necessary requirements suggested were racks on the Bickle to carry rubber boots and a new pump to replace the Lal-Trance Pumper which is now over 20 years old.

The firemen were unanimous in urging that a portable generating plant with a large spotlight 1)" provided so that they could safe- ly place their ladders at niilht fires.

captain W. R. Connolly of the

Hook and Ladder Company stat- Ni that firemen were in danger of losing their lives at MEN fires under conditions where H0 lighting facilities were nvullalzlc and where they had to deal with overhead wires carrying hilh V01!" age. The need for a new alarm 3)'5' icm was stressed by Captain G. W. Stewart. who suggested that the present fire bell should be replaced with an air horn. "Too much confusion is caused by 1'1”:- lng the fire bell for lllH'P0995 other than fires such as the nine p'clock curfew and funerals," he said.

Captains Connolly and Stewart both requested that a life net he provided. "If A life net costs 5600 and saves only one life it will have paid for itself many times Qygr," stated captain Connolly.

No Action Taken

The members also asked "I6 Fire Committee t.a.-press the urn- ency of the requirements upon the City Council. "We have been requesting a lighting system and a new alarm for the P859 70"? W five years and no action has been

taken." stated one fireman. Captain Connolly noted with displeasure that as soon as the

TOKYO. Jan. 18-(Thursday! - (AP)-Allied raider teams Wed- nesday tested enemy strength along the western front in Korea where a lull may soon be broken by a. new Communist: offensive.

vifhlle her high canmand rush- ed troops into the west to halt the armored Allied thrusts. Commun- ist china rejected a United Nat- ions plan for a Korean cease-fire.

Tile lack of Red pressure against Allied lines worried some United Nations field officers.

one said the situation was "very similar to that in late November when the Reds launched their Chongchon River offensive."

Chinese Communists at that. time pulled back miles from the Allied front. built up a massive offensive force. turn- ed the U. 3. Eighth Army flank and sent Allied forces into re- treat.

Now once more. the Reds had pulled back frcm Allied lines. ap- parently to build up for another smash.

Aerial observers reported three Chinese armies with an estimated strength of 90000 men gathering between Red-held Seoul and the air base town of Suwon, 17 miles south. Another Chinese army in the Seoul ares brought the total of massing Reds to 120.000.

Cumouflaged Red supplies were detected l2 miles north and six miles northwest of Suwon.

Strong Allied Patrol:

The Allies sent out strong pat- rols jlnng the western front to keep the Communists off balance and to take the element of surprise out of any planned all-out Red of- fensive.

One tank-led United Nations probing unit caught an estimated 1C0.) Chinese Feds off guard in Suwon and. with help from Allied planes, killed about half of them.

The Reds apparently comprised a forward force screening the main Red buildup in the west.

AP correspondent Jim Becker reported that two Allied compan- ies drove into Suwon from differ- ent dlrectians, caught Chinese troops in the open without guns. and mowed them down with ma- chine-gun and rifle fire. Ten Al- lied tanks headed the Allied prob- ing units. i

iiNeW Deal” Coal Miners

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON. Jan. 17 - (OP) - A "new deal" for British miners was overwhelmingly approved today, tllus launching a big production drive against a looming coal orlsis.

About 100 delegates from the coalfields voted in favor of an ag- reement which will increase wages. provide contributory pensions and adjust concessionary coal regula- tions. Only one vote was cast against. the settlement.

In return. the miners agreed to reduce absenteeism. work overtime and accept fcreign workers in a bid to relieve a country-wide coal short-

age.

Just before the delegations vot- ed, the Conservative Financial News warned editorially:

"Nothing short. of a miracle can save an industrial breakdown if a prolonged spell of bad weather should be experienced either in the rest; of January er in February."

Gardiner Warns "No Monlieying" With Home Market

OTTAWA. Jun. 17 - (OP) - The Govemment. has decided to resume control over the imports of foreign butter. on cfftcial disclosed today.

An order-in-council soon will be prepared, placing butter on the list of items requiring a government im- port; permit under the Import-Ev port. Act.

The decision follows action by four Canadian butter dealers to purchase 4.500.000 pounds of butter frcm New Zealand for sale in can- add.

The Government will permit that butter to come into Canada on the stipulation that the Agriculture De- partment's price-support. branch will control distribution.

The official said the prlce-sup- port branch likely will make cer- tain that the butter is dispatched to points in Canada where the de- mand for butter is greatest.

Butter was controlled during the second world awar. it was decon- trolled a. few years ago when the government began dismantling its wartime eocnomlc controls struct- ure.

The return of government regu- lation over imports is in line with the feeling of Agriculture Depart. ment experts that unrestricted im- ports may "play havoc" with the Canadian dairy industry. the offic- ial said... V

Order Dumping Of Surplus Maine Spuds Hailed

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1'1-fAP)- The Agriculture Department to- day halted the dumping of "sur- plus" potatoes in Maine.

Officials said this action was taken bcmuse of the possibility that the spuds may be needed for food and industrial uses.

The Department has been sell- ing potatoes acquired by it. under a producer price support program at one cznt. for 100 pounds. Such sales were made to the growers who were free to use livestock feed. fertilizer or other uses.

Officials said there still remain about 46.000.0oo bushels of 1950- crop potatoes in Maine which are entitled to price support benefits. it is not. known yet. Just how many can he moved into the general market for food use.

It is possible, officials said, that the portion not bought. by the food trade will be needed for other government outlets for surpluses, such as institutional feeding, and diversion into starch and flour.

It still is possible. they added, that some of the excess spuds may be made available for conversion into alcohol. Gvrowers have urged such use of the potatoes. A decis. ion on use for alcohol may be made within a. few days.

The Department's price support operations for potatoes will and when the 1950 crop has been dis- posed of. It: has announced ' that there will be no support for this year's crop.

Ottawa To Resume Control Over Foreign Butter imports

TORONTO, Jan. 17 - (OP) Agriculture Minister Gardiner cau- tioned govermnents today not. to "monkey" with the Canadian mar- ket. for butter.

He made the reference to butter in a speech ranging widely over the Canadian agricultural scene and forecasting the eariy.end of govern- ment bulk-purchasing food boards.

He made these other pcints:

1. To all intents and purposes Canada has no new food agree- ments with Britain.

2, The 1950 Anglo-Canadian cheese contract has been ex- tended. apparently until next. spring. But there vrill be no

government requisitlonin-g of cheese even if a new contract is signed.

3.'lf there is any need to re- duce hog product-ion. because of the cipening of the United States market. then the reduction should be made in Ontario and not in the West.

4. However. he believed that unless there is a "great change." Canada will gain more than the United states in the movemen: of pork between the two coun- tries.

The speech. prepared for delivery before the Ontario Crop Improve- ment. Association. was Mr. Gardin- er's seoand today. Earlier he spoke before the University of Toronto Liberal Association. attacking Soc- ialism as a state monopoly leading to freedom's devastation.

In an apparent reference to the shipment of New Zealand butter soon to arrive in Canada. Mr. Gar- diner said the daily industry could be ruined "lf anyone inside or out- side Canada is allowed to destroy the market for Canadian butter which is entirely in Canada."

He recalled that two govern- ments were defeated on dairy in- dustry issues and added:

"No one needs to advise the dairy farmers what to do with any gov- ernment which monkeys with the Canadian market for butter. 'I'll:.-y have already proven they know what. to do. If the dairy constitu- encies all go against. any goverr- ment ln Canada - and some of the Provinces - that govemment is on r..

The King Government was de- feated in 1930. he said. when New Zeaiancl butter was aiilowed into Canada at a rate of duty of one cent. per pound. "with the result that butter prices were out to half."

"The Meighen Government was defeated in 1021 in the dairy con- stituencies because it permitted the with

was cut to half."

In Ottawa, officials said the cab- inet has decided to invoke import controls on butter. as a result of the 4.500.000-pound shipment of Newzealand. which four Canadian butter dealers purchased for sale in Canada. Wartime controls were allowed to lapse after the second World War.

il.S. Spelresmani Rejects lied Proposal

(By Francis W. Carpenter) i LAKE SUCCESS N.Y.. Jan. 1'1 -(AP)-Communist Clrma today. turned down the United Nut.lons' appeal for I cea'I-fire in Korea! It proposed instead a seven-country. conference in China to work on' the Korean war. Formosa and other for east problems. The Pelplng regime insisted Feed China must be

seated in the U.N. before talks begin.

State Secretary Dean Acheson promptly rejected the counter-

proposals. American delegates at the U.N. laid plans for bringing up a resolution bran in Red China as an aggressor in Korea.

The 60-country political com- mittee was called to meet at 3 P. M. EST tomorrow. The Americans expect to have their resolution ready for that. session. with a long. list of countries including some in Asia backing it as sponsors. The prospect was the committee would adjourn to give members time to

Plan Unacceptable

Acheson said in a. terse Wash- ington statement that the plan is itunacceptble to the United States Government." He added it doubt- less would be unacceptable to the United Nations generally.

The sharp American reaction came swiftly after first news of Red China's counter-proposal was pick- ed up from the Pelplng radio.

Red China's Foreign Mlnisteizi Chou En-Lai, listed his demands in replying to last Saturdays cease- fire appeal by the General Aisem- bly's political committee. Chou made it clear Peiping will not talk about stopping the Korean fighting or about anything else until the regime is a member of the U.N. He denounced thie"eease-fire appeal as "ambiguous" and said its pur- pose was to give the U5. troops in Korea breathing space. Then he made these counter-proposals:

By Douglas I-low

OTTAWA, Jan. 17 - (CF)-The Government has sent Canada's Air Chief to Washtngtonlfor high-level discussions linked with plans to of- fer to build fighter planes for oth- er North Atlantic Treaty powers. notably Britain.

Entry into this field would con-

costs which are expected to zoom to about sl,5D0.000.000 in the next fiscal year.

China's rejection of the latest Korean cease-fire offer was seen here as eliminating any doubts that Cabinet shortly will go before Parliament with a defence budget of that magnitude-nearly four times this year's original defence budget. and nearly twice the one finally authorized at the special session in the fall. ,
