He said H. W Darling, president of the Quebec Labrador Develop- ment Company, told him of plans for development of the iron ore de- posits, 170 miles northwest of other iron deposits in Ungava. Estimated cost of development was placed at $80 millien by Mr. Darling.

The senior Communist envoy made this flat statement in direct reply to a question by Vice-Admiral C. Turner Joy, chief of the United Nations delegation. Nam also rejected a suggestion by Joy that the Red delegation examine a map of the area in question, an official announcement said at the end of today's 64-minute session. : Negotiators will tackle the thorny problem again tomorrow. Their 20th session, and the 10th devoted to this one item, is scheduled for 11 a.m. (9 p.m. Saturday, EDT). In the brief seven-minute after- noon session Joy "noted for the record" that the neutrality of Kae- song was violated by an estimated company of armed Chinese sol- diers who passed within a few hun- dred yards of the U.N staff house and a quarter mile from the former restaurant where talks are being held. The official U.N. communique said '""an investigation was pro- mised by the Communists." The Chinese soldiers, armed with rifles, automatic weapons and hand grenades, were marched by just as the U.N. delegation and staff were returning to the conference building after a luncheon recess. They marched toward an en- campment less than a mile from the conference site. The neutrality zone was laid down by Admiral Joy July 15 in an elaboration of armistice con- ditions set forth two days earlier by Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, sup- reme allied commander, The Reds agreed to the U.N de- mands. It was noted here that the pre- sence of the soldiers in the area did not break up the conference, and that Joy merely noted their presence '"'for the records."

Ger- maine in northwestern Quebec. E. J. Underwood, the depart- ment's chief executive officer, said a 'complaint has been made to Postmaster General Rinfret by Rev. L. G. Barnhart of La Sarre Que., near Ste. Germaine, that his mail had been mishandled. He declined to indicate the pre- cise nature of the complaint, be- yond saying that it was one of "mishandling." Mr. Underwood said the Ste. Germaine postmaster had been dismissed from the postal service in May because of mismanagement of the office. However, he stressed that the dismissal had no connec- tion with the complaint of mis- handling and related only to the internal operations of the post of- ce. The postmaster since has been replaced. N. H. MacDonald, the depart- ment's chief inspector, said an in- vestigation is under way. He declined to elaborate.

Sum- mary for Sunday: Sunny and warmer, , € Air Force Brig.-Gen William P. Nuckols shortly before this told cor- respondents at the U. N. advance headquarters in Korea, in reply to a question that the allies were re- ported to be asking a cease-fire line north of present battle lines: "I believe it would be seriously in error and the wildest sort of speculation if you attempt to draw this line in the vast area between the present battle line and the Yalu river." The statement was in a release issued by the civil information and education section of allied general headquarters under the title "back- ground material on the establish- ment of a demilitarized zone." The section earlier issued a strongly - worded statement which accused Russia of starting the Ko- rean war and of trying to weaken Red China by bleeding her on the battlefield. The release on the buffer zone said that if an armistice had been proposed last year when allied troops were driven back to the Naktong river in South Korea, 'the military demarcation line might have been near the Naktong river." "On Sept. 12," it continued, "the forces of the Rok (Republic of Korea) and United Nations went on the offensive and the North Korean SINO-SOVIET (Continued on page 2) "Perfectly Safe" Says Hill As He Prepares For Plunge Sunday Over Niagara Cataract Niagara Falls, Ont. (CP)-- Wil-* lian? (Red) Hill is set to go over Niagara falls Sunday in a queer- looking 'contraption of automobile tire tubes and netting. He sald yesterday he isn't wor- ried a bit. In fact, he's so confident he has fixed a time-table, "I'll be turned loose at five min- utes to two, and at five minutes after two they will be hauling me into the pick-up boat," he told an interviewer. Hill's queer craft, which he calls "the Thing," will be dropped into the water by boat about half a mile above the cataract. It's a cigar- shaped combination ball and barrel made of inflated inner tubes. There are 13 puncture-proof tubes coming to a taper at each end. Inside Hill will lie on an inflated air mattress. He estimated about a foot of rubber and air will pro- tect him when he goes over the brink of the 165-foot-high horseshoe falls, on the Canadian side. To those who say the betting is six-to-two that he won't survive, Hill's advice is to bet everything you own ("You got'a house, haven't you?"') that he will. "I'm not taking any chances," he said solemnly. 'This is the safest thing in the world, Hill, near- ing 40, has lived with the tumul- tuous Niagara most of his life. He estimated that with his father, the late Red Hill, Senior, he has taken more than 250 bodies from the river working with rowboats and power- boats. He said his riverman. father told him to make sure his conveyance was light if he ever went over the falls. This was to ensure the craft would bounce away from the base of the falls and not be driven under and trapped by the weight of falling water. "This is about the lightest thing I could get," he said. "When I'm in it, it won't weigh more than 250 pounds.' 2 His plunge over the cataract would be the sixth attempt since 1901.

He said views were "expressed on the difficult probe in a spirit of co-operation." DOPE RING SAID SMASHED WITH ARRESTS Montreal (CP) -- A._marcotics ring, said by police to be linked with the international dope ring al- legedly headed by the notorious Lucky Luciano, today is smashed, RCMP. said, with the arrests last night of five of the principals. Two other arrests are expected. Police identified those arrested as Diodato Mastracchio, alias Du- lude, 35-year-old owner and oper- ator of a restaurant here, and des- cribed as 'the big shot we've been trying to get for a long time;" Jimmy Soccio, 35, co-owner of a cafe; Johnny Sullivan, 38, a bar- man at Mastracchio's restaurant; Cecil (Red) Chesso, 40, a carnival worker and Emile (Jack) Nadeau, 40, of Montreal. All five are to be arraigned to- day on charges of possession, sale and conspiracy to obtain narcotics. Police said the break in the case came when Soccio was arrested while driving in a taxi in the east- end of the city. He was taken into custody, police said, while on his way to make a $20,000 delivery of heroin. Superintendent James R. Le- mieux, head of the criminal inves- tigation branch, said identity of the ring members became known to police nearly two years ago when RCMP raided a rooming house and arrested Johnny Young, a Montreal wrestler. Young now is serving a life term as an habitual criminal. An RCMP official said investiga- tion had covered international smuggling activities between the United States and Canada. He gave credit to the close collaboration be- tween Canadian and American agents, Police said the drug seizure, al- though valued at only $5000 on the wholesale drug market, was worth four times that amount on the il- licit drug market. 50 Years Printer A. R. ALLOWAY President and publisher of The Daily Times-Gazette, who was hon- ored with gifts by his employees this morning on the completion of 50 years in the printing business. Mr. Alloway started to serve his ap prenticeship with the weekly news- paper in St. George, Ontario, on August 4, 1901, his first job being to assist with the production of the paper and later help to deliver the 250 copies to its subscribers, It was Mr, Claxton himself whe suggested the Washington confer- ence among Britain, France, the U. 8. and Canada, thus pointing up this country's concern over lack of agreement on a common rifle and small arms ammunition. The minister arrived back in Ot- tawa late last night, looking tired and armed with an official press release on the Washington proceeds ings. He takes off again this morne ing for Camp Shilo, Man., and later a rendezvous' with Prime Minister St. Laurent who headed west yes- terday. The press release on the Washinge ton conference, the first such meets ing on the ministerial level, said that to permit the arming of At- lantic Pact countries as rapidly as' possible," the presently - accepted standard ammunition and weapons should be continued in production for some time. "At the same time it was un- animously agreed that as early as practicable, a new round of small Sins ammunition should be adopts ed." The statement also said that the conference decided to hand the pro- blem over to the standing group of the NATO organization. The group will study the matter and make recommendations "which will enable a decision to be reached within the next few months." Main stumbling block in imme- diate agreement on a common rifle is the faot that the countries main ly concerned now hold large quan- tities of their own small arms. Britain has the .303 and a new, sub ~- calibre .280 weapon. The French weapon is of .295 calibre. The United States Garand rifle is of .300 calibre. Mr. Claxton has already made i plain that Canada will ship no more British-type arms to Europe, nor import any more Garands from the U. 8. until the matter is resolved, Three Killed In Accidents In W.

The long-awaited announcement here and in London gave Canada's capital six weeks to prepare for its most important international gath- ering in years. At the meeting and a late-Octo- ber sequel in Rome, the pact's top body is expected to make vital de- cisions to broaden and bolster west ern armed might by adding Greek, _ Zurkish and possibly German strength and by making greater demands on the current 12 mem- ber nations. The sessions will be held in the parliament buildings = Saturday, Sept. 15 and will last about a week. The pact council includes the foreign, defence and finance min- isters of the 12 member nations, Canada, the U.S. UX.
