Many industry sources agree about 3,900,000 cars and trucks will be built in the first half of the year. They agree also a sharp cut- back in output will come in the ments, the analysts say, will be upward. The curtailment, these sources say, will result from further slash- es in the materials available for civilian output under the control- led-materials plan. While this year's January-June output may run somewhat higher than the same 1950 period, much of it will come in truck production because truck assemblies include some military units--and, more im- portantly, truck output isn't affect- ed by present controls. Order A Class Subs To Remain in Port London, April 21 (AP)--The ad- miralty today ordered all its "A" Class submarines to stay in port until it finds out why the Affray, carrying 75 officers and men, mys- teriously disappeared last Tuesday.

Budget Debate Wandering From Butter to Inflation Ottawa, April 21 CP)--The fea- ture of a week-long debate on Fi- nance Minister Abbott's 1951-52 budget has been demands for gov- ernment action in a wide variety of fields. Many of the speakers have not even referred to the budget in the debate, adjourned last night until Monday. They simply referred to the grievances of their own con- stituencies. Still to be dealt with are Pro- gressive Cofiservative and C.CF. motions calling for votes of non- confidence in the government be- cause of the contents of the budget. The Progressive Conservatives have called for repeal of the reso- lution increasing the general sales tax to 10 from eight per cent. The C.CF. party has urged that the 20- per-cent surtax on personal incomes be applied against single persons earning more than $1,500 and mar- ried persons earning more than $3,000. Soldiers Also Taxed Demands advanced yesterday were indicative of the trend of the de- bate. They ranged from requests for government action to halt in- flation to formation of a commis- sion to study government spending. They touched on defence contracts for the Maritimes, an economic survey of Eastern and Western Canada and improvement of tele- graph communications in 'New- foundland. Finance Minister Abbott said Canadiahs serving in Korea will be as- liable for income tax as any of their countrymen. Jean Lesage, parliamentary as- sistant to External Affairs Minister Pearson, said there are 370 Cana- dians in China, of whom 332 are missionaries." Agriculture Minister Gardiner said he expects to announce the new floor price for butter next Fri- day. First reading was given to a bill, Sponsored by Stanley Knowles (CCF -- Winnipeg North Centre), which would allow the government to dis- close some of the information con- tained in the tax returns of corpor- ations. In the debate, John Diefenbaker (PC--Lake Centre) urged the gov- ernment to rid Canada of a "gal- loping" inflation which threatens to drive the country's defence costs to "bankruptcy heights." "We can't fight Stalin with a 58- cent dollar," he said. At the same time, he suggested the government fight Communism by extending aid |¢ to--under-privileged Asiatic --coun- tries. He asked that an appeal be made to the United States government to return Canadian boxcars needed for the movement of wheat. Old Country Soccer Results Glasgow, Scotland, April 21 (Reu- ters) ---- Glasgow's battling Celtic soccer club, collected the Scottish League Cup today with a 1-0 win over Motherwell, The Glasgow Club now crosses the Atlantic for 'a nine-game tour in the United Stutes and Canada. A mass of 134,000 packed huge Hampden Stadium here for the biggest event of this year's Scottish sport calendar. It was Celtic's 16th cup victory in 24 final games, The club last won in 1931. Centre forward John McPhail snicked the sole counter. of the game into the Motherwell net early in the first half--at the 12-minute mark. Motherwell, a hard-fighting club from Lanarkshire which have never won the Cup, though they have made the finals four times, domina- ted much of the play today but could not seem to find the Glasgow net. Celtic's attacks were spaced but brutal, ramming through Mother- well's more ornate footwork. The game, though packed with thrills, was not quite up to cup- final quality.

Cpl. Charles McLaughlin of Coun- ty Donegal said the small group of Royal Ulster Riflemen drove off the Chinese after a fierce night hand-to-hand battle. "We let them get to within 50 yards of us," he said, "and then we let them have it with Sten guns, grenades and rifles as they were sneaking up the hill." British troops farther along a ridge supported the embattled five with machine-gun fire and lighted up the area with star shells. But they could give no other help. One Chinese grenade landed be- tween McLaughlin's feet in a trenc' without exploding, he said. Anothe hit him on the back and also failea to go off, McLaughlin did not identify the time or place of the action, The Chinese attack was wavering when McLaughlin ran out of am- munition. The Irishman said he threw this empty Sten-gun clip at a Chinese who jumped into his trench. Then he picked up a rifle dropped by a comrade and shot the Chinese. "Two of the other lads were out of ammunition; they started pelt- ing with big stones," McLaughlin said. "But by this time the Chinese had had enough and were dragging their wounded back down the slope."

Government Rapped On 'News' Releases Toronto, April 21--(CP)--Pub- lishers of 86 Canadian daily news- papers Friday expressed concern over the growing volume of pub- licity releases from federal govern- ment departments. Handling of these releases was criticized in resolutions adopted unanimously Friday at the con- cluding session of the Canadian Daily Newspapers Association an- nual meeting, "The volume of government so- called news stories being sent to newspapers is done," said one resolution, adding that "frequently many so-called news releases have little or no news value." A second resolution said that Canadian daily newspaper pub- lishers believe the government is setting aside enough money for advertising and publicity but "there is an over-emphasis placed on releases of so-called news stories by government depart- ments." Survivors (Continued from Page 1) am. EST Friday. The message read: "Struck tanker and apparent- |1y all hands are lost." The Esso Burlington, another ship at the scene, picked up three charred bodies. Additional bodies were seen in the water, but dark- ness prevented further recoveries. Planes joined in a search of the area early today. The Esso Suez' crew put out the fire and she proceeded under her own power. The Coast Guard listed the four | Greensboro survivors as: Arthur | Rolf of St. Cloud, Fla.; Leroy E. Fay of Baltimore; John A. Pirro of Leominster, Mass, and John W. Rohm of Mobile, Ala. Fay and Rohm were flown to Corpus Christi, both badly burned. Fay, who was lying on his bunk when the crash came, told of the tragedy through swollen lips. "The passageways filled with men trying to get out. You should have heard all those guys screaming and hollering for help. Everybody tried to run topside. Quick as they did, they werg burned alive . . . : "I opened a hatch and flames | blew back in my face. There was a kid there got burned standing Hp...

Tariff Talks End in Gloom Results Poor thought he | Of Manitoba Legislature Winnipeg, April 21 -- (CP) -- The third session of Manitoba's 23rd Legislature -- longest in 26 years -- prorogued last night. But it may be recalled in special session to cone sider Greater Winnipeg's role in the Liberal administration's hydro- electric program. Prorogation came after 11 weeks and consideration of 110 separate bills. The House convened Feb. 1 ol actual sitting dayse numbered 53. Lieutenant-Governor R. F. Mec- Williams confered royal assent on 54 bills before the official close. Premier D. L. Campbell said the government had hoped to launch its power program at the third ses- sion, but would egree with a re- quest by Mayor Garnet Coulter of Winnipeg that further time be al- lowed to consider inter-municipal arrangements in the urban area. The bill had been given third and final reading in the legislature. Thursday, city council called for a referendum on the power ques- tion. Under it, ratepayers have a chance to express an opinion on a proposed monopoly of transporta- tion and electricity as was distri- bution in the greater Winnipeg area. Under the plan, the province would retain Winnipeg electric gen- erating facilities and, with those of the Manitoba Power Commission and of Winnipeg's municipally- owned city hydro, set up a power pool designed to equalize power rates in the province. The plan called for the city's pur- chase of Winnipeg electrics street transportation system and its power and gas distributing facilities. Among bills given royal assent was one providing for a plebiscite on coarse grains. It will enable Manitoba farmers to vote on whe- ther they want to continue the present compulsory marketing of oats and barley through the Cana- dian Wheat Board. Another bill provides for the pro- vince to take over residential rent Torquay, England, April 21--Reu- ters)--Seven months of talking to lower world trade tariffs ended to- day with Conference Chairman L. reporting: "The results are not as great as many had hoped." The longest tariff conference ever held had concluded only 147 bilateral tariff agreements of the 400 sched- uled, The bigest flop was the failure of the United States and Britain to patch up a tariff-lowering pact which would have brought conces- sons to all 38 members of the Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The U.S. delegation came pre- pared to make big concessions, but Britain and other Commonwealth countries could not agree to sur- render imperial preferences in re- turn. Commenting on the failure to produce the scheduled number of agreements, Wilgress said that new scarcities and inflationary influences have made governments hesitant tariff cuts. Ask Government Aid In Halting Erosion Ottawa, April 21 -- (CP) -- Two Ontario members Friday night in the Commons urged the govern- ment to assume some of the respon- sibility for halting soil erosion along the south shore of Lake Ontario. Harry Cavers (L--Lincoln) sug- gested the federal government should pay 25 per cent of the cost of work needed to stop the erosion. The Ontario government should also assume 25 per cent of the cost. Municipalities and townships on the lake front in his constituency already had agreed to pay 25 per cent of the cost. Owners of land on the lake front had similarly agreed to shoulder 25 per cent of the cost. F. E. Lennard (PC -- Hamilton Wentworth) supported Mr. Cavers.

This comes to light in a buried paragraph in Pravda, offiical news- paper of the Kremlin, The item carries a suggestion of a purge brought on because of rising peasant resistance to the new super- |regimentation of farmers. The | Ukraine long has been the centre | of resistance to the Kremlin's new jidea of amalgamating collective farms into vast super-collectives. The new premier is V. V. Mat skevitch, This was revealed in a sentence at the end of the article which railed at "shortcomings" in the Ukraine party. The sentence said: "The plenary session dis- cussed a report by Comrade V.
