British Car Import Not A ffected By * Whitehall Notebook New Soviet Magazine Eases "Hate-the-West" Campaign By ALAN HARVE Y Canadian Press Staff Writer London -- A new Russian mag- azine with a slick, eggshell-blue cover and a disarmingly-friendly approach towards the decadent democracies has separated politi- cal pundits here into two warring CAMPS. Some critics regard the period- ical as a tremendously-significant new bit in the cold war. Every sen has been sifted in search of hidden nuances. Others coldy spurn it as just a slick-paper ver- sion of the same old party line. The publication is a fortnightly review of foreign affairs, printed in English and called '"News.'"' The 36 pages of the first issue contain 12 articles, all but one or two of which appear to demonstrate a greater amiability towards the western world than usual. In one article, entitled "Why I Believe in Soviet-American Friend- ship," a Russian commentat- or named A. Troyanovsky contri- butes-a passage in sharp contrast with, the usnal talk about hyenas and .. "The Russians," he says, "have always admired Amer- ican efficiency, the ebullient cre- ative energy the American people." The first reaction of the critics was to tie in the silky language of "News" with Communist-spon- sored peace overtures in Korea, and to present the two develop- ments as strong evidence that the Russians are finally becoming con- vinced they have to live with the west. Edward Crankshaw of the-Obser- ver, recognized as a genuine ex- pert on Russia, hailed the mag- azine as possibly indicating "complete reorientation" of Soviet policy. A.J. Cummings, veteran political correspondent of the News Chronicle, said "it torpedoes by implication Soviet propaganda and action since th, cold war began... almost daringly friendly." Elsewhere, "News" had a mor cautious reception. . Foreign expert W. N. Ewer of the Daily Herald was skeptical. i. "Having read 'News' from cover to cover," he wrote, 'I can only report that there is not the slight- est indication of a new tone. There is no change of line. If is the mix- ture as before." For instance, says Ewer, an article by a Soviet ac- ademician refers to "savage and grossly-provocative utterances we are every now and again hearing from labor ministers today." Royal Waitress, Farmer Happy in New Country Toronto (CP) -- Royalty waits on table in a, West Toronto restaurant. It also runs a farm at suburban Beamsville where blonde Prince Victor Hohenlohe of the Hapsburgs is a peach farmer with a white house and 22 acres of land. "I never knew how a peach-tree looked before," says Prince Victor whose Father's sister, Zita, mar- ried Emperor Charles, last + em- peror of Austria. He came to Can- ada three years ago and later mar- ried the Countess Luettichau who was in New York. Meanwhile few persons know that the pretty, dark-haired wait- ress is Lika Bicaku whose husband, Richard, is a cousin of Albania's exiled King Zog. Two years ago the couple came here, fleeting the Communists by | escaping through Yugoslavia. Their year of domestic work over, they | now are saving money to build a home. That's why Lika is waiting | on table and Richard is working in a factory. Both prince and princess appear happy in their new country. "There we didn't have enough food, we didn't have shoes," said Lika. "Now I can buy a dress. I can go to the movies." World News In Brief a been certified 'as bargaining agent BLUE MONDAY --?

NEW ZEALAND ONE DAY FROM UK. BY AR Auckland, N.Z., (CP) -- Flying timé between England and New Zealand may be cut to around 24 hours when the world's longest air race is held in 1853. Hume D.

In*1919, Ross and Keith flew from England to Darwin, Australia, in 28 days.

Official sources reported today new ambassadors will be. sent to voscow, T' Brussels, Belgrade, and Athens in the next few months, The changes reflect no switch in British foreign policy.

The shake-up includes: Appointment of Sir Alvary Gas- coigne as ambassador to Moscow. He is to succeed Sir David Kelly. Gascoigne headed the British Mis- sion in Tokyo until recently.

Government officials said today that imported British cars are free of any duty under the anti-dumping laws, which were put back into force May 31 last after a two-year suspension designed to alleviate Britain's dollar shortage. Ottawa (CP) -- British motor ® car manufacturers have met the requirements of Canada's dumping laws and none are af- fected by these regulations. Government officials said today that imported British cars are free of any duty under the anti-dumping laws, which were put back into force May 31 last after a two - y.ar suspension designed to alleviate Britain's dollar shortage. Manufacturers of the one or two higher-priced British cars which might have been liable for dumping duties have readjusted their export prices and thus avoided the additio- nal levy. Dumping duties are a fiscal de- vice to protect the domestic mar- ket against unfair competition from abroad. They prevent the '"'dump- ing" of cheap foreign goods which - anti- | gi might under-sell domestic ucts. The yardstick used to determine whether goods are being "dumped" is the comparison between the price the exporter is asking in the Canadian market and the price he is charging for, the same goods at pro- 'home. If his export price is lower than the home pri. , he is dump- ing and an additional duty is ap- plied on his exports to bring the two price ranges into line. Two years ago, Canada sus- pended her anti-dumping duties on a list of British commodities in an effort to increase British imports and help ease Britain's dollar po- sition. As the British trading posi- tion improved, the suspension gra- dually was lifted until only motor cars remained dump-duty free. Penicillin for Polio Is Hope of Researchers By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE A iated Press Sci Editor New York (AP) -- A penicillin for polio is one of this year's re- search hopes in the annual epidem- ic now threatening. The new one won't be named penicillin, if discovered, but it will come from the same source, the good earth, and it will act on the same principles. Like penicillin, it will be an antibiotic. This search centres at the New York Botanical Gardens with fi- nancial support of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Antibiotics are substances made by germs, 'molds and other invisibly Smal organisms that inhabit the soil. Theoretically, these micro -or- | ganiS§ms produce just about every chemical possible. It is virtually certain that somewhere there is a micro -family producing one that { can kill the virus which causes polio. The Botanical Gardens are mak- ing the search in thousands of samples of soil, gathered from all over the earth and flown to New York. The Foundation is investing $4- million, in research this year. One project is a synthetic chemical to kill polio virus. It will kill polio in the stomach. This aim is based on the medical belief that people get polio via food, drink or con- tamination entering their mouths. Kingsford-Smith had cut this time to just under 10 days. In the fam- ous London-to-Melbourne air race | of 1034 the time was reduced to less | than three days for a much longer distance. The race in 1953 willl be the longest and possibly the most im- portant in aviation history. Already several leading English aircraft manufacturers have notified their intention of entering new planes in the speed section, and several lead- ing air lines have announced they willl enter the transport section. The transport section is a new departure in air racing. It is open to air liners carrying passengers, under a handicapping formula which takes all factors into ac- count, inclulding passengers com- fort. Some air line operators expect they will be besieged by passengers wishing to meke the trip and think the race might even be a paying proposition quite apart from the prestige factor. RICH PRIZES OFFERED Prizes will be awarded in both and transport sections, the i = in each section being The route will in general follow that of the early pioneers alo the England-Australia journey, bu whereas the London-M: race had 22 check points in the handi- cap section and 10 in the speed section, there will be only one check point on the whole route in the 1953 race. This will be in the neighborhood of Basra, hs uently there will be a wide variety of choice of route and me- thod of flying. It is thought that some of the larger planes may fly the course virtually non-stop apart from the call at the check point. Various Great Circle courses will be possible, although iron curtain areas vi make some of these impractic- able. The question of aerial refuelling may also be involved.
