LONDON. Dec. 30 - (GP) - A ticm-n battered ships struggled to rcalh West European ports tonight as a widespread storm raged on land and sea.

The death toll from the storm was believed to be at least 30. scraps of messages from small ships indicated ft number of sail- c-s were swept from decks and bridges.

fragmentary reports indicated that the 6.711-ton American steam- er Flying Enterprise was riding out the storm at a point 300 miles southwest oi Ireland. All persons llnunrd were believed to have been removed.

Other vessels in difficulty in- cluded the 500-ton Dutch coaster Lecndert, between Barcelona and Marseilie. and the 71353-ton swe- nish freighter Calla. adrift with engines crippled south of the Scilly Isles. The Belgian ship Samoa was standing by.

MISSING WITH 40-PEl:S

Show Opposition To Measure

O'I'I'AWA. Dec. 30 -- LCP) - The rocky route oi the govern- ment's anti-price-fixing bill hit a relatively-clear stretch in the Senate Saturday and the con- tentious measure slipped quickly through the last stages oi passage.

As the senators disposed of the bill in an hour and 40 minutes against seven embattled days in the commons, they added a re- verse twist from the Commons debate. Senate opposition came from the Liberal side, while the only representative of the nine- memibcr Progressive Conservative Party in attendance gave it full support.

In the Commons. the Liberal ranks were unbroken in favor oi the bill, while the Progressive Conservatives carried the fight to the point where it 'iorccd the extraordinary post-Christmas sit- ting that ended late Saturday.

with the swift senate passage out of the way-tiic bill got sec- ond and third readings almost simultaneously Saturday-it be- came law later in the day after receiving royal assent at the end of the session.

Price Fixing Illegal

That means it now is illegal for manufacturers or suppliers to establish the retail prices of their goodsi-the practice or "resale price maintenance" outlawed in the legislation. Eniorcement will be through the Combines Act. of which the price-maintenance ban is nn amendment.

Saturday's senate approval, on the heels 0! the close of the long Commons debate Friday night. ended about two years oi con- sideration oi the question. it was dealt with by the Boys Commission on Prices in 1949-50 then by an outside committee se up by the government. by a join Senate-common: committee at this

session and finally by parlia- ment itself. The stormiest debate of the

session was stirred by the Pro. gressive Conservatives, who fought to have it put over to the 1952 session. The other three parties
