Salt Codfish To Brazil
OTTAWA (OP) _ Sale of 000 worth of Canadian salt cod to Brazil, a market long closed by exchange controls, was announced Wednesday.
Exporters in the Atlantic prov- inces and Quebec have been ad- vised of the sale, arranged in trade negotiations between the Canadian and Brazilian govern- ments.
Trade Minister Churchill, who announced the sale, said it would enable Canada to re-enter the traditional Brazilian market for salt cod.
Canadian exporters, for many years, had been at a disadvantage in competing with other suppliers, because of e x c h a n g e control measures imposed in the South American country.

Fire Rages In N.S. Port
PORT LATOUR, N. S. (OP)— An unexplained explosion sent flames leaping through a fishing boat and set fire to a wharf in this southwestern Nova Scotia fishing village Wednesday night.
Early today firemen from Shel- burne, 20 miles northeast, were trying to keep the flames from destroying the 50-foot-jetty built last year. No injuries were re- ported.
Malcolm Blaine and Freeman Smith said they heard an explo- sion from the direction of the whanf between 10.30 and 11 p.m. ADT Wednesday night. Minutes later flames rose from the 60- footalong Maureen Rose, a long- liner captained by Herbert New- elI of Port Latour.
The boat moored nearby, the Ruth Marie, caught fire but was moved away. Damage was Con- fined to her deckhouse.
ln-formants said there was little chance of the fire reaching the plant of Cape Anne Sea Food Limited. 300 yards north of the wharf. It employs 25 to 30 men.
There was no estimate of the damage. Longliners fully equipped are worth about $30,000.
Further details were not avail- able.

MAY BE VISIBLE
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) A powerful Jupiter - C rocket blasted aloft Wednesday night on the start of project Beacon—the army’s attempt to place a 12-foot balloon satellite in orbit.
The 69-foot rocket, nicknamed Old Reliable by its army devel- opers because of past perform- ance, was away on the sixth Jupiter-C journey toward space. Success came on three of the five previous launchings.
In two hours the National Academy of Sciences in Wash- ington was expected to announce whether the latest army space bid was successful.
The shoot was unique in that an attempt would be made to free and inflate the balloon after a 50-inch long cylindrical case was fired into an orbit some 1,500 miles above the earth.
VISIBLE SATELLITE
If everything went well, the United States would have the tirst satellite visible to the naked eye.
Even at maximum altitude, the 12-foot diameter balloon while re- flecting the sun should be as bright as the stars in the Big Dipper. It would glow brighter as it descended toward earth in its orbit, and would be observable just before dawn and at twilight.
The 9%pound balloon, called Beacon by the sponsoring Na- tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration, was made of a tough plastic called mylar with a thin coat of aluminum‘. If suc- cessful, it could float around the globe for a week or a little longer before dropping back into the earth’s atmosphere.
MOST COMPLEX MISSILE
During that time, scientists hope to rack Beacon visually to learn more about the behavior of
Signals Lost
CAPE CANAVE‘RAL, Fla. (APl—The army launched a balloon satellite toward space Wednesday night but signals were lost 10 seconds before the second stage of the mighty Jupiter-C launching rocket was due to ignite.
The launching at 12:21 p.m. ADT appeared to be perfect from the ground but when the. signals were lost it was not known what had happened to the satellite.
“It is expected that no further information will be available before 10 am. ADT this morning," officials said.
No hours after the launching.
Yanks Attempt To Orbit Big Balloon Satellite
the varying density of the earth’s atmosphere at extreme altitudes.
The balloonaequipped satellite and its prolelling rocket vehicle comprise perhaps the most com- plex long‘range missile ever fired from this testing ground. Four rocket stages had to fire in se quence before the satellite/case, weighing 28.6 pounds, would be hurled into orbit at an 18,000- milean-hour speed.
Then, when it had gone half way around the earth, a tiny solid fuel booster rocket in the nose of the satellite was to give the payload what missilemen call “a kick in the apogee." That meant it should boost the satellite far from the earth so that the apogee -—-the most distant point—of its ellipical orbit would be some 1,500 miles. The perigee—point in orbit nearest the earth—was expected to be about 400 miles.
If everything went according to plan, two other new satellite ob- jects in addition to the balloon would be placed in orbit. They were the satellite case carrying a twochannel radio transmitter and the spent fourth-stage rocket.
The transmitter, operating on 108.3 megacycles, would help tracking stations locate the satel- lites duriug the initial stage of the orbit.
Gov't-Io Look-Before leaping Into Scheme
The date on which Prince Ed- ward Island will actually join the national hospital insurance plan
Matheson said here yesterday.
While asserting that the Pro- vince would definitely be a party to the scheme, Mr. Matheson made clear that his government had no intention of jumping into the plan without a thorough ex- amination of all the factors in- volved.
“There is too much at stake to make any haphazard moves," the Premier said. “There must be thorough preparation before‘ hand.” A “hasty and ill-advised" insurance and diagnostic plan could bring disaster to the smooth operation of the Island‘s hos- pitalization services.
BEST SETUP
"In this Province," said, “We have now the best hospital set-up of any Province in Canada, and we must do nothing to interfere with the proper functioning of that system.”
In some Provinces the switch to national hospitalization scheme was a simple matter, Premier Matheson remarked. In New-

LONDON (AP) — A beautiful young model died in a plane col- lision over Italy Wednesday on a mission to win back an Indian prince she thought she lost to actress Eva Bartok.
Auburn - haired Jane Bucking- ham, 24. hurried aboard the ill~ fated Viscount airliner that col- lided with an Italian jet fighter over Italy four hours later.
Then it was learned her boy friend, Prince Shiv of Palitana, son of an Indian Maharajaah, was not even in Naples. A family
Route To gIecI Romance
spokesman said-he was en route there by car and probably had stopped in Paris.
The spokesman added the lam- ily knew nothing of a romance between the prince and Miss Buckingham. She was the mother of a two-year-old daughter but was separated from her Leban- ese husband.
TROUBLES BEGIN
The romantic troubles began two days ago when Miss Bartok’s press agent announced her much- publicized romance with the Mar- quess of Milford Haven was off and that she would marry the 27-year-old prince “within two weeks."
The prince, said the press agent, was in Naples, presumably to see his father, the Maharajah of Palitana, and arrange parental approval of the marriage.
The announcement jolted Miss Buckingham, who met the prince last summer and had been dat- ing him steadily since.
Miss Buckingham, whose real name was Eugene May before she married lawyer Reginald Ka- wuaga three years ago, was de termined to reach an understand- ing with the prince.

“I won‘t let her take him away from me. I won't," she said be- fore She left London.

SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP)—One fireman was found dead Wednes- day night after a salvage blaze on Main Street. Workers freed an- other fireman from debris follow- ing a struggle of four hours and 36 minutes.
Capt. Lloyd Hayward was killed when a tenement wall collapsed. Two other firemen, Everett L. Mingo and Frank O’Brien, were rescued soon after but Jack Kyle was pinned by a beam across a knee. ’
Firemen and others used chain saws and a crane to attack the debris. Oxygen helped to keep Kyle alive while rescuers crawled around under rubble.
26 FAMILIES HOMELESS
The flames consumed seven old wooden buildings. Four tenements in a row were destroyed before the fire jumped across Main Street, a crowded north end thor- oughfare. About 26 families were left homeless.
First noticed about 2 p.m. ADT, the fire was under control shortly after 5 p.m. but some flames still lingered among the ruins Wednes- day night.
The fire started in a tenement on Ann Street, just off the west side of Main Street. It mread to three nearby buildings and jumped Main Street to a small business establishment, the Grand Department Store. The Economy Laundry Depot also was burned. All the wooden buildings were three storeys.

While firemen worked to rescue him, Kyle was able to sit up and talk, and gratefully acoepted I cup of coffee.
As he was freed, he lifted his head, muttered “thanks fellows" and dropped his head wearily to his crossed arms. He was taken unm' ediately to hospital.
Hayward was promoted to cap. tain in November, 1956. He joined the fire department in 1929.
Great pillars of smoke mush. 'roomed into the sky long after the fire had been brought under control. Many merchants in the area evacuated their premises during the afternoon.
SPECTATORS A PROBLEM
A major problem in fighting the tire was coping with thousands of milling spectators. Tnaufif-ic was re- routed for blocks on either side of the affected area and police tried to keep onlookers from getting too close to laboring fire- men.
His doctor said Wednesday night Kyle was suffering from severe shock and receiving blood transfusions. His state of shock eliminated immediate X-rayc. 7
Amputation of the right leg above the knee was a possibility.
The last previous serious fire in old tenement areas of Saint John occurred in August when 01 per- sons were evacuated from two buildings on St. Patrick Street. Sheila: outbreaks this year, he volvingseven families, were on demote, Greeley and Princew ward streets. ‘

By DOMEN-ICO GIORANO AN-ZIO, Italy ’hP)—A British turboprop airliner and an Italian jet fighter collided in a cloudless sky four miles over this Second- World—Wiar battlefield Wednesday. The 31 persons in the passenger plane fell to death. The fighter pilot parachuted into the sea and was rescued.
The four-engine British Europ- ean Airways Viscount was flying at 23,500 feet. The weather was clear, but cold.
An airline spokesman said the collision tore open the front of the airliner‘s fuselage.
The plane’s pressurized cabin was decompressed suddenly and most of the passengers were sucked out into the air.
Mrs. Alida Carrini, a Nettuno housewife, looked up and saw the bodies falling, dark against the sky.
