Manitoba Members Seek Assistance For Flooded No Decision Yet On Aid For West May Get Aid | RESCUED AT EMERSON Ottawa, May 2--(CP)--The dis- astrous Manitoba floods held the attention of the Commons through an afternoen and part of a night sitting Monday and then members got going again on the subject of western oil pipe lines. The floods debate, initiated by Rene Jutras whose Liberal consti- tuency of pProvencher is mostly under water, was entered by almost every Manitoba member of the House. It drew from the govern- ment these statements: y 1. Justice Minister Garson, as Manitoba's representative on the cabinet, said the floods had not reached their peak and no one knew what the damage would total except that it would be in millions. The government would wait for a clearer picture before announcing possible federal assistance. 2. Acting Revenue Minister Win- ters said sympathetic consideration would be given individual cases of late filing of income tax returns-- the deadline was Monday night-- in the flood area where the tax- payer could prove tardiness was due lo Sipoumsiances beyond his con- rol. Discussion on the bill to incor- porate the Alberta Natural Gas Company, which seeks to build a pipe line from Alberta to the Paci- fic coast, went to its usual stale- mate. The bill now is in committee stage and the debate produced an open clash between Prime Minister St. Laurent and Howard Green (PC--Vancouver-Quadra). Mr. Green charged Ralph May- bank (L--Winnipeg South Centre) of "high-handed and arbitrary" methods as' chairman of the pri- vate bills committee which con- sidered the legislation. Mr. Maybank rose to say he didn't care what Mr. Green said f ||and walked from the chamber. | | the t | | chairman, then Mr. St. The Vancouver members said if Mr. Maybank was not acting for government as committee Laurent should ask for his resignation. This remark brought the prime minister to his feet. Mr. St. Laurent said he would &: | do no such thing.

Al- ready at Emerson, where the Red River enters Canada on its down- stream course toward Lake Winni- peg, the reading has topped that record in the 1897 disaster, Not since the legendary flood of 1826 has there been so much water in the valley. Fed by the melting of sny .unseasonable .spring .snow- storm, the Red has risen to 46 feet above datum. As damage mounted in the valley's week-long battle with the relentless Red, the federal government promised to investigate the possibility of federal aid. --~Central Press Canadion Photos. Oil Keeping Shipyards Operating London, May 3 --(CP)-- British shipyards are feeling the magic touch of oil. More than half the merchant ships under construction are oil tankers. World-wide demand for the black gold is indirectly filling the pay en- velopes of thousands of British shipyard workers. It is helping ward off the feared recession in the shipbuilding industry. On a recent visit to the Tyneside, Princess = Margaret launched the first of 10 giants of 28,000 tons, the largest tankers ever built in Euro- pean shipyards. Experts see the day not far off when oil tankers of up to 50,000 tons will be hauling petroleum from pipe-line termini to refineries in industrially developed areas. Keeping pace with tanker con- struction, big new refinery devel- opments are going forward in Britain, At a cost of £125,000,000 ($387,500,000), refining capacity is being expanded eightfold from 2,500,000 to 19,500,000 tons a year. - Each, of the new 28000-ton tankers will make eight round trips a year to the Persian Gulf and bring back annually some 200,000 tons of oil apiece. 8ix of the monster tankers, which cost about £1,250,000 each to build, are for the British Tanker Com- pany, shipping organization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Four are for the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company of the Shell group. 'The contracts are being divided among the United Kingdom's four main shipbuilding areas, Tyne, Clyde, Mersey and Belfast. "But for the wonderful oil in- dustry the state of employment in British shipyards: today would pre- sent a very different picture," said J. W, Elliott of the Wallsend ship- yard where Princess Margaret christened the Velutina. . 'He recalled the vessell was the 81st' bullt by his firm for Anglo- Saxon, which since 1945 had placed contracts '+ with that yard alone totalling £4,000,000. PROTEST MEETING Pembroke, May 2--(CP)--Indig- nant 'mayors, reeves and townsfolk from many districts. of the Otta- , wa, Valley gathered at a protest meeting Monday night over re- routing' of the Trans-Canada high- way. Some said the route had been switched for "purely political rea- sons." 'Outcome of a lengthy dis- cussion 'was 'a resolution demand- ing' that the trans-Canada route should follow Highway '17 through + Ottawa Valley. It was decided |. a delegation to Toronto to the valley. to speak know the whole pipe-lines issue was "farical." Mr. Green retorted that Mr. Maybank's actions had illus- trated the government's thought that Canada now was a "one-party state." Mr. Green charged that Mr. May- bank, as private sponsor of the bill, had sought to shut off debate in the house private bills committee last week by moving that no fur- ther witnesses be heard. Annual Hunt In Swing Knight Inlet, B.C., May 2--(CP) -- The spring slaughter of the pre- datory, bewhiskered sea lion is in swing along the rocky British Columbia coast. Their lust for the tasty colachan -- or candlefish -- has made the big, fawn-colored sea lions the out- law 'of coast fishing grounds. Every spring two or three Do- minion fisheries patrol boats hunt the mammals in the inlets some 120 miles upcoast from Vancouver. Knight Inlet is one of these. six-to-12-inch - smelt-like colachan head for the inlets and the glacial streams. The sea lions are waiting for them. This year, the patrol boats Atlin Post and Chilko Post were, in turn, awaiting for the sea lions. Armed with rifles, the five-man crews bagged 145 lions, all but 11 of them in Knight Inlet at the mouth of the Kleene Kleene river, "There is no intention of exter- minating the sea lion population," said J. Prank Tait, supervisor of fisheries on aVncouver Island. "It is valueless as far as we know but is part of our natural animal popu- lation." Once the lions are shot, they are allowed to sink below the surface. Occasionally one is hauled aboard 50 a crew member can save the head as a souvenir. A sea lion weighs between 600 and 1,000 pounds. sharp-shooters drove them from the west coast of Vancouver Island and Queen Charlotte Sound where they had prayed on salmon and halibut. Since the number of lions has been brought under control, the colachan runs have increased.

King's Title Outdated Ottawa, May 2 (CP)--The King's title has been outdated by common- wealth constitutional evolufion and revision of its terms is regarded here as a likely and necessary: future de- velopment. However, the issue is not considered in informed circles to be a matter of urgent or immediate importance and the government is not pressing for any swift change. The issue was raised in South Africa Monday when Prime Minister 4 Malan said changes in the common- wealth's structure leave "no doubt that there would be a change in the present title of King George." Mr, Malan said, too, that Canada was "particularly dissatisfied with her position in the commonwealth," a statement which brought only puzzled conjecture here. A cabinet source said he knew of no issue current or impending that would warrant that assumption. However, while the government is not pressing the matter, there is a feeling that the King's title is be- hind the times and, in time, should be altered. The title now is "His Most Ex- cellent Majesty, George The Sixth, by the Grace of God, of Great Brit- ain, Ireland, and the British Domin- ions Beyond the Seas, King; De- fender of the Faith." This could be. criticized on these grounds at least: 1, Ireland no longer is in the com monwealth. ' 2. Canada no longer considers her- self a "British dominion" but a "member of the commonwealth." '3. Moslem Pakistan, one of the other members, could hardly accept for its king one who is the defender of the (Christian) faith. Predicts Big Future For Dark Continent Vancouver--(CP) -- J. Gordon Stephenson, African missionary on holiday in Vancouver, says develop- ment of Africa is only a matter of sufficient capital. Mr, Stephenson told reporters of the changes that have taken place during his 32-years in the jungle. "Savage natives," claims Mrs. Ste- phenson, "have become Christians and good citizens, jungles are be- ing turned over to giant plantations producing tea, coffee, sisal and grains."

The ancient relic, in whose auth- enticity Roman Catholics arc not compelled to believe, has been sub- jected to scientific research since the first photographs of it, taken in 1898, revealed impressed on the age-old cloth the faint imprint of a body. 3 Each new meeting of Scientists devoted to its research have re- vealed some new piece of evidence adding to the known facts, The shroud is kept in an urn in the chapel of the Holy Shroud in Turin Cathedral. . 3 Most doubtful element in the study of the relic is its early history. It appears to have re- mained in Palcstine until the third century, when it was taken to Con- stantinople (now Istanbul) and held there until 1204. In that year Constantinople was seized and sacked' during the Fourth Crusade. The shroud was taken to Cyprus and then, before Constantinople fell to the eTurks in the 15th century, it was removed to Chambery in France. There it was severely damaged by fire. The history of the shroud during that time is obscure and contra- dictory. It passed from one family to another. In 1578 the shroud was given to the Royal House of Savoy and taken to Turin where it has been treasured ever since in the cathe- dral. In 1898 a Turin photographer, a lawyer named Secondo Pia, photo- graphed the shroud. He was amaz- ed to' find that his negative re- vealed as though printed "in positive," a human form. The imprint, it is said, has re- mained for centuries chemically fixed on the cloth, possibly through the absorption of the oils and spices with which the body was covered before burial. Researchers on the shroud have thus far established: 1. It is a linen cloth, 15 feet long and 32 feet wide, blackened by fire and age. 2. It bears the double imprint of a human form seen from the back and from the front, as though the cloth had been wrapped lengthwise over the body. 3. There are imprints of drops of blood on the forehead and at the nape of the neck. 4. Wounds, as of nailmarks, ap- pear in the wrists and feet. 5. The back shows apparent signs of scourging. 6. A large blood stain is im- printed in the cloth below the heart, consistent with a lance- wound. Possibility of an ingenious forgery cannot be ruled out.

Announcement of settlement pro- posals providing for a 13-cent hour- ly waze increase and such major items as pensions, hours of work health security benefits, was made Monday by Louis Fine, conciliator for the Ontario Labor Department. The proposed agreement runs two years. Terms, still to be endorsed by a vote of the membership, include: 1. A 13-cents-an-hour increase, (eight cents retroactive to April 1, 1950) and additional five cents, ef fective in April, 1951. If accepted, this will boost the basic rate from $1.04 to a maximum $1.17. 2. A reduction in the work week from 44 to 40 hours, with overtime to be paid at time-and-a-half after an eight-hour day or 40-hour week. 3. A joint committee will be set up to study the present pension plan now administered solely by the com- pany. The plan now provides a maximum of $1,000 a year, but pay= ing-an average of $50 a month.
