The party's powerful execu- tive committee, which includes Prime Minister Attlee and sev- era] other cabinet members, set for the plan yesterday in a pamphlet laying out, in general terms, some of its ideas for a new election platform. The pamphlet, entitled "Labor and the New Society," called also for armed defences "strong enough to resist aggression." But it added: ' "Reliance on armed strength is not enough. The democracies must be positive, con- structive and progressive, not mere- ly defensive. They should launch a program of mutual aid for world economic development."

Ottawa Plans Waiting Role In Rail Strike By JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Aug. 21--(CP) --The Government at this stage has no intention of intervening further in the railway wage-hour dead- lock, a Cabinet source said early this afternoon. However, this high au- thority said that attitude did not preclude the possi- bility of a Government move this afternoon if it should be warranted by de- velopments in the 11th- hour railway-union negotia- tions at Montreal. Cabinet: members were standing by for an expected meeting later in the day, but up until 1 p.m. EDT. it had not been called. The government's atti- tude within 18 hours of the strike deadline, confirmed at an emergency cabinet meeting last night, was set out authoritatively as this: "Beyond the appoint- ment of the mediator now working in Montreal, it does not intend to inter- vene.," That is the position this afternoon," the source said, "though the situation is still fluid." Cruise Ship Scanned For More Bodies Lauzon, Que. Aug. 21 -- (CP) -- The charred remains of a sixth body was 'discovered yesterday by searchers aboard the. fire-wrecked St. Lawrence River cruise ship, Quebec. It was believed, though no positive identification was immedi- ately possible, that the body was one of two United States women passengers reported missing. The search resumed early today under Quebec provincial police supervision. : Gertrude and Eva Taub of Tarry- town, N.Y. were reported missing by Canada Steamship Lines and Quebec Provincial Police shortly after five bodies were pulled out of the cruise vessel at Tadoussac be- fore it was towed here for a thor- ough search. With most of the collapsed superstructure removed by some 40 workers equipped with acety- lene torches, the search is ex- pected to proceed more speedily today. ; By last night, less than a quarter of the vessel's surface had been examined. Col. Leon Lambert, provincial director, announced discovery of the sixth body. The remains, part of a skull and flesh and bones of the pelvic section, will be sent to Montreal's medico-legal labora« tories. The C.S.L. cruise ship caught fire Tuesday half an hour out of Tad- oussac, small lower St. Lawrence harbor town and a regular stop for the Saguenay cruise vessel. What Will Russians Do By ELTON C. FAY Washington, Aug. 21-- (AP) -- WHat will Russia do when her North Korean satellite begins to lose the war? Reverses for the Korean Com- | munist army will force a decision by the Russians on whether to move openly into the Asiatic war or bide their time for another day when the stakes could be greater and the odds better. The time for Moscow's decision apparently is coming nearer, The swift and long advance of the North Korean army bas ground down to at least a tem- porary halt. The build-up of strength by American forces, with more help from other United Nations members in the offing, is under way. An of- fensive to destroy the Korean Red military force is in prospect for the months just ahead. And it is then Russia will have to decide. She will have to weigh the pos- sible effect on other countries with- in the Soviet sphere 'of defeat for her Korean Communist state against the risks of taking a direct hand in LJ When Reverses Begin? war with the United States and United Nations. Russia, for reasons of her own, may conclude that the time to move isn't now but later, when her mili- tary strength is even greater, mean- while using the Korean situation as material for her peculiar propagan- | RUSSIANS (Continued on page 2) | Settlement Dims But Final Stateme By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Aug. 21 -- (CP) -- Indications early this afternoon were that mediation efforts have reached a point of deciding whether, as a result of the wage-hour dispute between railways and non- operating employees, there is to be a Canadian rail- way strike tomorrow morning. Dr. W. A. Mackintosh, special government mediator, met for more than two hours with the presidents of the Canadian major railroads and it was reported his next meeting will be with the union spokesmen. / In the corridors, without anybody in authority being too direct, there was the feeling that a major announcement of some sort is likely before the afternoon is over. Up to mid-morning there had been no new con- ference of the special government mediator with either railway heads or representatives of the 124,000 non-operating union men who want more money and shorter hours. y wa There were indications that a general meeting, possibly of both sides together, will be called for late this afternoon, prior to an announcement. Too, there were indications--too intangible to be tied to quotes from any spokesman--that if any settle- ment is possible, the strongest ef- forts are being made to have it completed by mid-afternoon. Tight-Lipped Conferences The running trades -- engineers, firemen, conductors, brakemen--are not part of the present dispute; but the strike of the men concerned-- shopmen, maintenance men, teleg- raphers and others -- would effec- tively tie up all rail services and make telegraph service difficult. The tight-lipped. character of the proceedings was exemplified in a statement from the Canadian Na- tional Railways which said: "While negotiations are on the railroads refuse to confirm or deny any rumors of any kind or character." Railways and unions ended their direct negotiations Friday. In brief, the men asked a wage increase--seven or 10 cents an hour for various union groups-- and a 40-hour week to go into , STRIKE (Continued on page 2) Will Test Guns For Murder Evidence Toronto, Aug. 21--(CP)--Police seeking to establish whether there was a link between the slaying a year ago of Alfred Layng and of Robert and Gloria McKay plan to make ballistics tests with five guns found in the possession of Stanley Buckoski, 27, of Toronto, held in Los Angeles on a charge of murder- ing Layng. The McKays and Layng were shot to death in the Toronto area the same week-end. Investigators said they planned to question Buckoski about the McKay slayings. Layng and the McKays were killed with guns of different calibre. The ballistics tests are ex- pected to show whether the fatal slugs match any of Buckoski's guns L 4 East Coast Hurricane Halifax, Aug. 21 (CP)--Nova Scotia prepared today to face the brunt of the season's first big Ate lantic hurricane, expected to strike the south coast before noon.

The bargaini ittee from the union which hac been negotiating with the company for close to two weeks has arriv- ed at an agreement which is suitable and will, tonight, at a general meeting, recommend ac- ceptance by the members. The first meeting will be held at seven o'clock. A second meeting will be held at midnight to give the night shift employees an opportunity to express their feel- ings in the matter. There have been a good many rumours circulating in Oshawa to= day to the effect that. Lus service would be discontinued tomorrow and that the employees of the Railway Company would go out if the rail- way company employees do. President of the local Dorland Windover said today that the text of the agreement would be presente ed to the general membership at the two meetings and that he, along with the other members of the bar= gaining committee, would recom= mend its acceptance.
