MONTREAL (CP)--One of the surest ways to promote interna- tional friendship and understanding is to have a free exchange of views and ideas on all subjects. This was the opinion expressed | today by External Affairs Minis- ter Pearson in a recorded message for delivery at the inauguration of the 'CBC's international service shortwave broadcasts to Poland. The CBC now has foreign services in 16 languages, beamed from two 50,000 watt transmitters in Sack- ville, N. B. In his message Mr. Pearson said: "One purpose of the Canadian broadcasts to Poland is to tell the Poles something about their fellow countrymen who have made for themselves a happy and prosperous lifesin Canada and have made a Yalued contribution to our national e, 'At the same time, Canada will be broadcasting truthful, unbiased information about world events, information which should help the Poles to maintain a true and un- distorted perspective.

Miss Ann Cleverdon, Truce Emissary Is Going Home By ROBERT GIBSON SEOUL (AP)--President Eisen- hower's truce emissary said today he has woundup his secret con- ferences with President Syngman Rhee and U. 8S. embassy sources indicated Rhee had been won over to an armistice. A joint communique on the talks will be issued at 10 a. m. Sunday (9p. m. EDT today). Robertson told a press confer- ence he was leaving for home be- cause_'I feel my work is done.' He said substantial progress had been made toward winning Rhee over to an armistice in more than two weeks of talks, but refused to say an agreement had been reached. While there were indications some sort of agreement had been concluded, a South Korean source indicated the talks will continue at a different level. The joint communique on the con- ference was to have been issued Saturday, but a South Korean gov- ernment source said it was held up because "we have to work on it." These new developments in the Korean truce tangle come a few hours after Allied and Communist negotiators met twice at Panmun- jom to discuss final details of an armistice. i Rhee told newspaper men today he and Robertson had reached "a friendly understanding' on prob- lems relating to a truce. And while Robertson refused to comment on his talks with the stub- born statesman, he appeared well satisfied with his mission as he talked with reporters after a re- ception in his honor at the U, 8. embassy in Seoul. Robertson said he would confer Monday and Tuesday with Gen. Mark Clark the United Nations commander, and Japanese offici- als. He said he would leave for Washington about Wednesday. Most Britons Are Gamblers LONDON (Reuters)--Thousands of youths in large towns through- out Britain frequent illegal outdoor gambling "casinos." These "schools" of card players meet in the seclusion of dark archways railway lines outside large towns. They are the gambling breeding grounds which cause police the most trouble. To these dimly-lit, hard-to-get-to archways every evening, youths take a pack of cards and dice. There are no red carpets and no plush chairs in these primitive casinos, just a newspaper held by a brick at each corner. In Bristol there was a "school" which operated almost openly every Sunday under the name of the Greenfield Mission with a paid lookout to watch 'for the police. The stakes were small, a few pennies to one shilling. The Greenfield Mission lookout system failed one Sunday and the '"'casino" was closed. But hundreds more like it are still operating. Other illicit. gaming operations take place in private houses, mostly among friends or vouched- under the network of| for guests. There, the stakes are bigger, the risk of detection less. Occasionally, a dissatisfied guest tells the police and the owner of the house is fined. Britain's most 'numerous legal gamblers, about 16,000,000, are | those who take part in the foot- ball pools in which they try to forecast the soccer results.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT "A Good By GORDON MACKINNON Canadian Press Staff Writer On the surface it was a dull week, but stock exchange traders preferred to view the market as "smouldering, willing to ignite at the first good spark." The market reached this position, these traders say, after the psycho- logical effect of oft-repeat re- cession predictions finally wore it- self out. With much of this bear- ish sentiment quelled by continued high levels of earnings, employ- ment and capital expansion, stock market followers, penny-stock plungers and gilt-edged investors are said to be ready to come out in force to support an extended rally. In Toronto, opinions varied as to which group of stoeks would pro- vide the spark. Until Thursday, industrials were the odds-on favorite, having added more than 10 points to their index figure since June 16. But their star faded a bit when they joined the general downturn during the last two days of the week. How- ever, many observers saw this as merely a temporary reversal. Optimists were further heartened by the brighter outlook taken this week by several financial publica- tions. Typifying the new "better- day-tomorrow" attitude, the Finan- cial Post commented this week: "Over the last several weeks there has been a noticeable lessening in pessimism over the business out- look in the U. 8." 4 At present, the only serious chal- Traders Want Spark" tial rally-initiator are the low- priced mining stocks--especially those of companies with property in the promising Beaverlodge, Sask., Blind River, Ont., or Bath- urst, N. B., camps. Taking a shorter-range look at the week's activity, New York ended on a weaker note follow- ing seven sessions of steady ad- vances. In Toronto, industrials domin- ated an otherwise mixed market during the first three days of the week but joined in the moderate decline Thursday and Friday. Volume picked up in Montreal markets but prices stayed well mixed in all groups except papers, which bounced higher for the third week running. Turnover for the week at Tor- onto increased proportionately to 13,091,000 shares from the previous four-day holiday week's total of 9,171,000 shares. Montreal moved 177,026 industrials and 2,056,714 mines compared with 173,674 indus- trials and 1,010,974 mines the week before. From Friday to Friday the Tor- onto Stock Exchange's indexes showed industrials up 2.37 at 306.83, golds down 1.31 at 75.66, base met- als down 1.92 at 155.51 and west- ern oils down 2.62 at 106.75. Montreal averages had papers up 12.90 at 695.79, banks up .01 at 33.93, utilities down .2 at 04.8, industrials up .8 at 186.7, come bined vp 4 at 156.0 and golds down .34 at 56.65.

Thirty-one of the nation's 107 Class I railway systems are today completely dieselized. An additional 49 lines use diesel-electric locomo- tives for better than 50 per cent of operations. More than 70 per cent of all passenger service and 65 per cent of all freight is handled by diesel engines, which have strid- * | ent horns instead of steam whistles. The 8,000-mile Southern Railway System is the country's latest -- and largest -- rail line to switch to 100 per cent diesel service, notes the National Geographic Society.

The Santa Fe and Southern railways inaugurated die- sel freight service in 1941. First complete train to use diesel power was the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy streamliner Pioneer Zephyr on its run between Lincoln, Nebras- ka, and Kansas City, Missouri, on November 11, 1934, The diesel accelerates a train faster than steam from a dead stop up to about 40 miles per hour, but steam locomotion is faster above this speed. Thus, most Amer- ican railroad speed records are still held by steam engines. Fastest U.S. train run ever re. corded was made by the Pennsyl- vania Special, gow the Broadway Limited, of the Pennsylvania Rail- road on June 12, 1905. It ran three miles near Ada, Ohio, in 85 sec- onds, a rate of 127.06 miles per hour. pioneered steam service 123 years ago. HISTORIC ENGINE On December 25, 1830, a Southern engine, the historic "Best Friend of Charleston", made its initial run. It was the first steam locomotive | put on regular, scheduled railway | service on the American continent. For the next 65 years steam was unchallenged as power king on U.S. rails. In 1895, electric locomotives made their first appearance on main line tracks. The Baltimore and Ohio Steelworkers of America CCL), walked off the job when the night shifts finished.

The high-sided, double-ended boats about 16 feet long are among the world's most seaworth small craft, But the immense capital expendi- tures required for substations, | transmission lines, and overhead | wires hindered railroad electrifica- | tion.
