Track Near Port Arthur North Bay, Aug. 14--(CP)--When nine freight cars were derailed on the CPR. main line near Red Rock, 60 miles east of Port Arthur Friday * afternoon, the C.N.R. suffered more delay to their schedule than the CPR. did. Six of the derailed cars, loaded with freight, were flung on to the CNR, tracks running parallel close by. The force for the impact push- ed the CNR. tracks over towards the shore of Lake 'Superior. The mishap occurred at five o'clock to an eastbound C.P.R. freight train composed of 28 cars. No one was injured, but the cars were badly smashed and traffic was help up on the C.P.R, for 10 hours. Auxiliary cranes from Port Ar- thir and Nakina which arrived to clear the twisted C.N.R. tracks dur- ing the night, reported that it would take a further eight or 10 hours for them to put the track back into operation. FATHER-SON TEAM Toronto, Aug. 14--(CP)--Here's another entry in the unique father- and-son stakes: Councillor Hugh Manes of Newcastle, Ont., 70 years old, and Mayor George Manes of suburban Leaside.

Cattle Raisers Pleased As Ban Lifted By Gov't | Canadian cattle raisers appeared to be pleased with Friday's an- nouncement that the ban on export of beef cattle to the United States will be lifted but packers predicted retail prices would rise 10 to, 30 per cent to levels almost equivalent to United States prices. Some packers said the best Can- adian beef would be exported, leav- ing lower grades for the home market. 3 Norman McLean, general man- ager of Canada Packers, Toronto plant, said there would be enough good beef for Canadians, unless housewives balked at new high prices. Livestock prices in Calgary soared to an all-time high of $27 a hundredweight but only one top- grade steer changed hands. - Agriculture Minister Kennedy of Ontario described the end of the ban as "a good thing" from the farmer's point of view. He predicted an immediate increase in prices to farmers ranging from $25 to $100 a head, V. 8. Millburn, secretary "of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, said the reopening of the American market avoided a possible glut this fall, caused by the decline of the British market. The order which goes into effect Monday means Canadian producers and packers may ship to the United States beef cattle and calves, dressed beef and veal and other edible beef and veal products. The embargo was imposed in 1942 to ensure an' adequate supply of beef for Canadian table.s Soviet Officials (Continued from Page 1) Chepurnykh in her hospital room; when she made the statement. A police detective, William Dycz- ko, who speaks Russian, gave this translation of the conversation that ensued after the Vice-Consul and a secretary entered the room: The detective: "I have two people from the Russian Consulate." Mrs. Kosenkina: "I don't want to see any one." The detective: "This is Mr. Che- purnykh. Do you know him?" Mrs. Kosenkina: "Yes, I know him." : Chepurnykh: "Would you like to go to another hospital?" : Mrs. Kosenkina: "No." Chepurnykh: "How do you feel." Mrs. Kosenkina: "All right. I don't want to talk to you." Chepurnykh: "Did you make a statement that you didn't want to see any one from the Soviet Con- sulate?" Mrs. Kosenkina: "I don't want fo see any one. You kept me a prison- er. You would not let me go." At this point, police suggested that the interview be ended. Che- purnykh later gave this version to reporters: "I saw her for a minute. Her eyes were closed. She did not want to or speak to any one." pe said that "it is possible the Consul-General may have her moved to another hospital so a Russian-trained nurse or observer | could be on hand." 0 Then he asked a hospital official | if a Russian nurse could be put in Mrs. Kosenkina's room, and was told: "I don't think that's possible. You know we are short of beds." Moseow, Aug. 14 -- (AP) --Prav- | da charged today that United Sta- tes intelligence agents wearing New York police uniforms violated in- ternational law by entering the Soviet Consulate in New York after the plunge of a Russian school teacher. The Communist party newspaper said the American intelligence serv- ice is guilty of a "crude violation of the immunity of the Soviet con- sular building in New York." Reprinting a Tass dispatch from New York on the case of Mrs. Ok- sana Stepanovna Kosenkina, a Rus- sian school teacher, the newspaper hen Kosenkina (after her fall) was already brought into the con- sulate "agents of the American in- telligence, violating its recognized immunity, burst into the Consulate building.

Air. Force craft . covered many thousands of square miles of terri- tory between here and Grande Prairie, Alta., 242 air-miles north- west, his reported destination after leaving Edmonton, since he went missing Saturday. Today, R.CAF. officials said they had word from - Washington, D.C., that V. B. Murray, the miss- ing pilot, had written a friend a letter saying he was "leaving civili- zation for a while." The letter ap- parently was mailed from here last Friday. The letter also said that Murray Pilot, Tired of Civilization Vanishes In North Alberta was looking over "an abandoned airfield with some buildings in the wilds of Northern. Alberta, 100 miles from the nearest road or trail." One RCAF officer said "it now appears that Murray has given mis- information of a proposed flight to search authorities." "Since the route from Edmonton to Grande Prairie has been covered by search craft, the search which has already entailed considerable expense and effort, has been tem- porarily discontinued." Meanwhile, a civilian pilot flying out of Grande Priarie, is investi- gating a report that a low-flying plane with engine trouble had crashed Saturday near Kleskun Hill, 13 miles northeast of Grande Prairie. Para-rescue men are stand- ing by in Edmonton awaiting out- come of the search. CYCLISTS PACK BRITISH ROADS AT WEEK-ENDS By STHART UNDERHILL London, Aug. 13--(CP)--The bi- cycle is turning the open road into a playground for more and more Britons. Since the end of the war week- end cycling clubs have grown steadily in membership. Not even wind and rain can keep the more enthusiastic at home. On a fine summer Sunday the roads are crowded from daybreak on. Some are "hard riders"--de- termined young men haunched over their handlebars and aiming at a "nice run" of 120 miles or so. Many more are young and middle-aged folk, out for a day's fun and fresh air in the open country. Baby Goes Along Babies don't keep ardent cyclists at home. Sometimes trailers or side- cars are fixed to Father's bike. Sometimes Junior is carried on the back, papoose style. The usual procedure of cycling clubs is to meet early Sunday morn- ing at an agreed spot. Club leaders have already drawn up the route and after a brief consultation over maps, the group is off. Sixty to 70 miles is the average for a Sunday run. Sometimes more ambitious trips are arranged, lasting several days. It's a cheap way of seeing the country, since there are some 270 youth hostels, at which accommo- dation can be obtained for 1s 6d. (30 cents) a night. Clubs Are Growing Some 3,000 cycling clubs now ex- ist in Britain. The oldest is the Cyclists' Touring Club, which cele- brates;:its 70th birthday this year. It now has 48,000 members. The National Cyclists' Union has as many, and has shown an in- crease in membership of 30 per cent in the last year, Bicycles in Britain aren't regis- tered so no accurate census is available, but about 12,000,000 are believed to be in use throughout the land; which means that one in ev- ery four persons is a cyclist. Apart from pleasure purposes, they're used for getting to work both by industrial and farm labor- ers. No factory is complete with- out its rack for stacking bicycles. Britain manufactures more than 2,000,000 bicycles a year, of which about three-quarters go for export. Shortages of components are a threat to production. Latest model bikes are made of lightweight materials, making it easy to push them uphills or carry them across streams. Main high- ways are usually left to automo- biles, with the cyclists seeking out country lanes and byways. Postal Workers Win Recognition At Bellville Belleville, Aug. 14--(CP)--Recog- nition of service aggregating 117 years was given today to three members of the Belleville post office staff. They are J. C. Waddell, Postmas- ter for 40 years; Assistant Post- master C. M, Stork, 42 years; and letter carrier W. J. Holland, 35 years. 'They were given a silver medal by A. M. Gibson, M.B.E., Re- gional Director of Postal Service for Ontario, Other officials of the de- partment present were George Macklem, District Inspector, and J. E. Gavel, Postal Inspector of Ot- tawa, Aviation History Full Of Cranks, Wacky Inventions Washington-- (AP) --Airport visit- ors at Hagerstown, Md., are start- led by a scrawny frame sporting two half-cylinders which = hikes down the runway, hops into the air and lands. The machine, called a "channel wing," was devised by Willard R. Custer; an automobile mechanic who took up aeronautics after see- ing a barn unroofed in a storm. Custer wanted to know how the wind exerted such force. Twenty years, a lot of work and some $200,- 000 have been invested in the an- swer, Custer's plane is the oddest of the season but is not particularly freakish in the background of avi- ation history. Many inventors' ideas appear to have resulted from being hit by a barn roof. There was, for example, the per- sistent person who: proposed that a powerful magnet be hung in front of the airplane to draw it forward. Just asking "What's going to move the magnet, Mister?" doesn't dis- courage such people. One of the strangest of all air- craft was the "Cygnet," brainchild of Alexander Graham Bell, inven- tor of the telephone. This was a "tetrahedral kite," resembling a billboard in size and shape. You can make a tetrahedron by folding a square of paper with two opposite points - together. Bell mounted 3,393 such double tri- angles made of silk over wood frames in the Cygnet. The 42-foot kite flew in 1907 while being towed behind the little steamer Blue Hill on the Bras d'Or Lakes near Baddeck, N.S. the Bell summer home. With Lieut. Thomas Selfridge at the controls, the kite rose about 170 feet. However, smoke from the Blue Hill hid the plane and it was dragged apart when Selfridge landed unknown to the steamer captain, Built Bigger One Bell, who assembled and financed a small group known as Experiment Association" built a still larger kite in which an engine was to be mounted. The project was not completed. Every heavier-than-air craft, whether jet fighter, mammoth fly- ing boat or helicopter uses the prin- ciples of flight developed by the Wright brothers for their "Kitty- hawk." Some, like the channel wing, vary the application, but only those which use the Wright principles have flown so far. An Italian idea in aircraft was related to the Custer channel wing but had its propeller completely en- circled. The goal was to increase propeller thrust, + The opposite extreme was the Gallandet D-4, test flown by the Fla., in 1917. Its propeller encir- cled the fuselage. Both types flew. Many ideas, such as the magnet attractor, are completely false con- ceptions. One such was the proposal to have an electrical discharge from the tail, propelling the plane by "electric repulsion." Many propos- als are for the use of electric pow- er, Where to get this power usual- ly is left to the next guy to figure out. A sample of the fantastic ideas for defying the law of gravity is a proposal for the plane with holes in the cabin floor through which compressed air would be expelled while a large belt with correspond- ing holes revolved about the cabin. By doing everything just right, the inventor said, the plane would ride on the node of a standing sound wave, You take it from there. THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW "Aerial | United States Navy at Pensacola, | B.C. Trees Feature Huge Arboretum Vancouver -- (CP) -- A $40,000 arboretum, a museum of native trees and shrubs, will be developed here by the pulp and paper indus- try of British Columbia. It will extend over some 35 acres on the north and northeast faces of Little Mountain, suburban Van- couver district. Eight to 10 years will be required to develop the project. Purpose of the arboretum will be to constantly remind the public of the importance of its forests as well as to provide correct informa- tion about native trees. * It will be presented to the citizens of Vancouver and the board of parks commissioners has agreed to appropriate $150 an acre annually towards its maintenance. A statement announcing plans for the project said: "Vancouver is the chief city in an area of great forest wealth and should have at hand suitable means constantly to remind the public of the importance of its forests as well as to provide correct informa- tion about native trees. "The arboretum will provide all school children, students, and the public in general, with the means to learn how to identify at last those of our native trees most commonly in use. "It will develop, with trees and native shrubs, an area of great public attraction and civic value that may be passed on from one generation to another as an im- portant cultural asset. It will also provide and develop channels for the collecting of rare tree specimens for placement in the arboretum. The industry's foresters will aid this work." Within the bounds of the arbore- tum it is planned to display ef- fectively trees and shrubs under natural conditions. They will be labelled and essential descriptive data will be available. . N.Z. Deer Multiply State Hires Hunters Wellington, N.Z.-- (CP) -- Deer, wild pigs and goats multiply so rapidly in New Zealand that hunt- ing instead of being a rich man's sport can be indulged in at the expense of the state, The rapidly increasing herds of game damage forest reserves and the pastures of back-country farms. The government has found that amateur hunters cannot keep the herds in check and employs parties of professional cullers to deal with areas where the game is causing most damage. These men earn a good living and to anyone with a love of the outdoors they lead a life to be envied. During the spring, summer and autumn they operate from camps established in wild forest country-or in the mountains. Cham- ois and thar--or goat an.elope-- as well as several kinds of deer are among the game which falls to their rifles and the stalking calls for a high degree of skill, Strategy and tactics are planned at conferences in the winter and the hunters are allocated to the localities which most need atten- tion. The parties then study their | areas and decide whether to work | outward from a central point, tc { work inward from the circumfer- ence, or to drive the game to an area favourable for shooting. Some of the cullers get enormous bags. Two men have secured 50 thar in a day, and on occasion parties have shot 200 deer in a day. A party of five once killed 800 goats, the easiest prey, in a single day. The individual records are 68 deer to one rifle in a day and 1,400 a | season.

Sports Shorts From Britain bad news in the wind for Arsenal, London's first-division soccer club. Denis Compton, 30-year-old foot- baller-cricketer, idol -of British sporting crowds, may not be able to play for the Gunners during next season. If he is asked--and there is little doubt he will--Denis will probably decide to accompany the Maryle- bone Cricket Club team to South Africa from October to March next. He prefers cricket, Compton faced the same problem two years ago, and decided in favor of cricket, going with the England team to Australia. Greater financial reward comes from a winter of cricket abroad than from football. An all-the-year round contract with a big football club, at maximum wages plus ex- tras, brings in about £600 ($2,400). A successful trip with an England cricket team to South Africa would net him about £800 ($3,200). But it's not only the immediate financial reward which has influenced Comp- ton's decision. There is not much future in football at 30, whereas cricketers usually improve between 30 and 40. And the risk of injury at football is greater. . An unsolved mystery is the dis- ease which attacked the trout in Blagdon Lake, Somersetshire, caus- ing the water to be closed to anglers the last year, Reopening has been set for Sept. 1. Many trout died or wasted away when the epidemic was at its height. Scientists from Bristol Uni- versity and ministry of agriculture and fisheries experts were unable to trace some definite parasitic infection. One theory is that shortage of food for the young trout used for restocking during the war caused weakness and liability to disease. A big restocking program now is being carried out, with the intro- duction of some 20,000 five-inch yearling trout from the Bristol Waterworks Company hatcheries. So fattening is the natural food at Blagdon that five-inchers grow to one pound in a year. Biggest trout caught in the lake weighed 10 pounds four ounces. The little man at the English Derby couldn't see the race from the free enclosure at Epsom Downs. "Step up on to my stand," invited a bookie. "You can see the race from there." After the race, crowds besieged the little man, demanding payment. The benevolent bookie couldn't be found. London, Aug. 10--(CP)--There is | U.K. Industry Fears Slump Coming Soon London, Aug. 14--(CP)--Business conditions are booming throughout the United Kingdom, but uneasiness about the future seems to be grow=- ing. Business editors in various parts of the country who were polled by The Canadian Press all gave .a glowing picture of presen ndi- tions in the basiz iy of the areas concerned--South Wales, Man- chester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle-on-Tyne, But most of them reported twinges of anxiety caused by shortage of raw materials, which is notably making things difficult for new in- dustries in so-called development areas, These are plants which have | been established to diversify in- (dustry in districts which formerly relied on one or two main industries like coal-mining or ship-building. When supplies are short, they are the first to suffer. Basic industries, Playing 2 hey, role in the export , ge riorit materials.
