‘ port. seeking victims

I! Ann lbeed Burns

IORIILAND, Ore., May S1. ._ (Al?) — Search boats today plied throulh the drowned city of Van- amid the shattered houses and submerged streets.

Twenty hours of hunting failed i0 find a single body in the 10 to l5 feet of water that still swirled over the great housing town.

No one knew how many of Van- portia 18,700 residents had perish- ed in the flood that broke through a dike Sunday afternoon and roar- ed through the town.

Chalk marks indicating no bod- ies had been found stood on thous- ands o! the flimsy frame houses. But rescuers could not tell what the splintered apartments, the un- reachable lower floors of houses, and the hundreds of flooded cars might conceal.

Many Misalng

The Rod Cross rreported “doz- ens" of missing—but could not yet tell how many lay buried in the flood.

Evacuees. crying frantically for missing husbands. wives. and chil- dren, were barred from the de- vastated zone by the danger of still more floods.

The waters swollen by the flooded Col River, smashed at other dikes today.

Vanport, once the greatest lioualng project in the United Stat-as and Oregon's second larg- eat town. lay in complete dc:- trucflon today. Only the Water towers and one radio rtower allll stood» on their foundations. The town's library, stores, schools. and houses floated craz- iiy. or lay in splintered frag- nienta.

The worst flood in Pacific coast history broke without warning Sunday upon a town that hnd been assured its dikes would hold.

While children played in yards and men and women chatted in the streets, the flood water tore a six-

foot-' breach invthe railroad fill that diked one side of the sunken town.

In waves two fest high, then five. then l0, the water roared through the breach. “Buildings seemed to burst as the water hit

them,” said an airplane pilot. Cal-

vin Huibert. who saw, the disaster from the air. "I saw the whole wail of an apartment pop out like a balloon exploding.”

Ilalifaii To Greet Canada's iiewiiarrier

HALIFAX. May 81 — (GP) — The staid old port of Halifax has seen many warships come and go, but none ever will have received the vociferous welcome planned for Canada's newest aircraft carrier, If. M. C. S. Magnificent.

The grey-hulied, iB,000-ton float- ing airdrome is scheduled to ar- rive hero tomorrow afternoon.

Of the same class as the War- rior, the Magnificent is a much more modern vessel, winterized to withstand the cold blasts of the North Atlantic. One of her first cruises will take her into the Canadian Arctic with her escort of Canadian destroyers.

The Warrior was turned beck to the Royal Navy some’ time ago and her crew transferred to the Magnificent built in the Delfas‘. shipyards of Harland and Wolff. 'l'he Magnificent, launched in 1944, was, commissioned last April 7. After that she engaged in shake-down exercises off Ports- mouth, Eng. She embarked her aircraft of the 19th Carrier Air Group-fleet-yvinged Sea Furies and Fireflies-at Belfast just be- fore sailing for Halifax May 25.

"Magazines and books poor in literary style and vulgar, suggest- ive and obscene lncontent" were condemned as a waste of time, money and a. destructive influence on the reader's strength‘ of character and. social efficiency “which ultimately tends to injure the moral tone of the community."

The resolution was included in the report of Mrs. J‘. D. Detwiier- of London, Ont., national educat- ion secretary. who reported her committee had examined many publications found on news-stands. in cheap lending libraries and sold in barber shops.

' Gardiner Says Projects

FortMaritime Provinces Planned But Shelved.

By D'Arcy 0'Dohnell

GITAWA, May 31 — (C?) Agriculture Minister Gardiner in- dlcated in the Commons today that projects aimed at improving the economy of the Maritimes likely will be tackled one by one.

Ho said that two years ago -the Government had planned to intro- duce legislation covering a series of projects which would assist the Maritimes, but. the measure was never brought forward. He did not explain why the legisla- tion was withheld, but indicated it was because of arguments over Dominion and Provincial responsi- bility.’

He spoke before the Chamber adopted a_ bill providing for the reclamation of 80.000 acres of marshlands in the Maritimes. Rep- resentatives of all parties sup- ported the legislation and expres- sed the hope that it is the first of n series of moves which will im-

prove the economy of Eastern Canada. The Doniinion and the Prov-

inces, said Mr. Gardiner were in- ciined to get a bill which would cover different projects.

“Two years ago we had on: drafted to bring into the House, but for certain reasons I do not need to discuss now, it never reached the House," he said. "So, having reached that stage, I rath- er took the position that it would brvery much betterto take some

Report Shipping Slump At Montreal

MONTREAL. May 31 -‘- (GP) — Montreal's far-flung waterfront looked quiet today and proof of a. shipping slump was given by an announcement that-hundreds of longshoremen were without work.

One port official said the har- bor was quietest it had been since the depression of 1536, blaming it on the dollar shortage and the lack of ocean vessels. _

Only 31 ocean vessels were in port Saturday compared with 50 on the some day last year.

Thirty-six gangs of longshore- men with 20 men to a. gang were idle last week.

“The United States is not buy- ing as much as was expected," a 19-‘ for the Iungshoremerfs Union said yesterday.

"A lot of people thought the Marshall Plan was going to make the port busy." he added. "Now. nobody setms to know where we are going."

Grain shipments at present _rnake up most of the vessel move- merits. -

This’ slump is the exact opposite of eaoly season predictions when a busy year was forecast by ship- ping officials.

Fire Sweeps Stockyards

SOUTI-“ST. PAUL, Minn. May Zil—-(AP)—The tinder-dry wooden pens of the south St. Paul Union stockya-rds today were attacked by fire which spread over a two- block area in less than 30 minutes.

Yards employees turned their first efforts toward saving an es- timated 2.000 head of livestock. Many of the animals were turned loose and fled to swamps near the fringe of the yards.

Firemen lamented the lack of wind, saying the flames spread in all directions whereas a wind would have driven them in one. An un- usually dry spring contributed to

the hazard. Smoke cowl be seen for i0 miles. ,

“tianadakliiatilorial I Income May Set Record This Year

. Mav Si — (GP) — Canada's total national income will probably reach an all-time high of more than 015.000.000.000 this year, Trade Minister Howe predicted here tonight.

In a speech prepared for deliv- ery to the Industrial Dwelopment Board of Manitoba, he said the forecast was dependent on an ab- sence of work st ages to slow production.

The forecast. he continued, was for s. national income of from $1.500.000.000 to 02.000.000.000 high- er than last year and three times as high as in 1009.

“In spite of some shortages in fuel, power and certain basic ma.- terials such as steel and lumber. the national outlook for 1048 con- tinues to be promising." no said.

"The general economic outlook for Canada. this year has been greatly improved by the successful culmination of E. R. P. discussions," Mr. Hows said. "Airs gements have been made to maintain our flow of major commodity exports to the United Kingdom."

Mr. Howe said Canadians must appreciate the necessity of lim- iting E. R. P. funds to essentials which would promote economic re- cover-y.

"Specifically. for example, fertil- izers arid agricultural machinery to increase food production will be given preference over foodstuffs such as fish, and even meat and eggs .. .. .." he warned.
