SETTLEMENT OF RAILWAY WAGE DISPUTE I ANNOUNCED Britain ContractsFor More Red Meat From Argentina (By Ian Botwright) DONDON. Dec. 19-( euters) - Britcns, who have al oat forgot- ten what roast beef tastes like. received glad tidings today. They will get more red meat from Argentina after the new year. Under a new trade agreement Britain will get 250,000 tons of beef from Argentina next year. The agreement will fix the price nf beef at 5161 a ton-27.8 per cent higher than this year's price of HM. The news was welcome but cold statistics showed that Argentina's augmented exports may only mean an extra forkful or two of meat a week, And just when those steaks still on the pampas will find their way into British frying pans is apparently any- body's guess. A Food Ministry spokesman said tonight that statistically the Buenos Air :3 s announcement mean: that Britain will be im- porting more than twice as much meat-some 144.000 tons more- from the Argentine as she did ibis year. But even twice the present ration is not. much. At. present. the ration buys a neagre cents worth-three cood-sized chops or a medium steak-a Week. Argentina's contribution will only be a small fraction of Bri- lain's total yearly requirements '.l,500.000 tons in 1952). Most of Coming Events "Christmas concert, 1-Iarrington Hail, December 22nd.

Covers Prince Edward island Like the Dew sfcom) SECTION iiidgway Critical Oi Sharp Cut In Defencellliildihg By Tom Mules-Ion PARIS. Dec. 19 -(AP) - The North Atlantic Minlsters' decision to slow the Western European de- fence buildup was criticized today by Gen. Matthew Ridgway, whose advice they ignored. Obviously irked, the Supreme Al- lied Commander declared "there can be no excuse for any slacken- ing of effort in the rapid building of Nato defences," in the face of a continued threat of war. Ridgway deplored economy moves of the North Atlantic Council in a talk before 53 army. navy and air force officers making up the second graduating class of the Nato De- fence College. "We do not know how long we shall be the Kremlln's target, marked for attack by war...at a time of its own choosing," he said. Th 14 member nations, including Canada. wound up a four-day meeting yesterday. The council cut in half the call by Ridgway for S428,000.000 to build more air bases and other installations in 1953. In London. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, commenting on Ridgway's speech. said today the Allies-their economies already strained by defence efforts-did the right thing. The chairman of Naiols building committee. Finance Minister Thor- kil Kristenscn of Denmark. said one reason for the cut was the fact a backlog of almost S800.000,000 naval works and other defence in- stallatlons remains to be spent.

Mr. Claxton has had a copy of the Currie mport for roughly a weak and has been informed by cabicl and telephone of the storm that. has brewed up in Parliament. It. is about as big a storm as he has been involved in in six years-- the sixth anniversary of his ap- pointment fcli I week ago today- as Defence Minister. The report describes a "general breakdown" in control of the Army's Works Services and an indifl'erencc to administration and is haste-before-cost attitude among "higher-ups" in the Defence Department. The parties in Opposition have urged Prime Minister St. Laurent. at least to shift Mr. Claxton to another department and have call- ed for an independent inquiry into the whole Defence Depart- mcnt. The Government has lauded Mr. Claxton and indicated that it. will simply refer the report to the Commons committee on defence expenditures soon after the ses- sion starts again Jan. 12. Between his return and the re- opening of the House. Mr. Claxton is expected to prepare a statement for Parliament on the report and to see what more can be done to implement its 44 recommendations Authoritative quarters say there is slight chance Mr. Clsxton will be asked to resign by Mr. st.

' DECEMBER Award of the Queen's commendat- ion for brave conductjo fourCan- adian airmen who pulled a num- bcr of men to safety following an R. C. A. F. crash at Summerside. P. E. 1.. last April. was announced tonight by Air Force Headquarters. The announcement said the Queen has approved the awards to Flt. Lt. J. T. Dalton, 30. Newcastle. N. 13.; F0. C. C. Spicer. 28. Partne- boro. N. 5.; F0. L. D. Temple, 33. Toronto; and Flight Cadet B. G. l-lalton, 19. Toronto. The accident occurred April '25 when a Lancaster. attempting to land. crashed on the airfield at. Summerside, killing four and ill- juring nine others of its crew. The four officers arrived at the scene minutes after the accident. Disregardlng their own safety they proceeded to pull crew members from the burning wreckage. The citations disclosed how F0. splcer, Flight Cadet liatton and F0. Temple pulled a number of in- jured crew members from the rear of the burning plane, but finally had to desist because of the in- tense heat. Flt. Lt. Dalton donned an na- bestos suit and attempted to reach some members of the crew trapped in the blazing forward compart- meni. He got as far forivard as the bomb bay through a maze of dis- torted wreckage and exploding oxy- gen bottles. At that point the in- tense heat penetrated even the asbeios suit and drove him back. "Although unsuccessful in ais efforts to rescue the ill-fated crew members. Flt. Lt. Dalton's gallant and heroic actions under the cir- cumstances are worthy of high praise." the citation said. Ff0 Temple. with ullcr disre- gard for his personal safety enter- ed the burning aircraft. and re- mained there until ail who could be assisted were removed to safely. Ills heroic action was instrumental in saving several lives. I-70 Splccr. also with utter dis- regard for his personal safety. entered the burning aircraft. and by his assistance to two of the oc- cupants was instrumental in saving their lives.
