Priest Tells Graphic Story Of Party Lost In Arctic Sea Rev. Maurice Metayer and Rev. Henri Tardy, of France, were res- cued by air last week after a 21- day search following their disap- pearance with their Eskimo crew of four on a boat trip from their Roman Catholic mission at Hol- man island, more than 1,000 miles north of Edmonton, to Coppermine, on the south shore of Coronation gulf. They were on their way to pick up winter supplies. This is Father Metayer's story Written for The Canadian Press By REV. MAURICE METAYER COPPERMINE, N.W.T. (CP)-- Father Tardy, myself and four Eskimos--Jack and Wallace Goose, Jim Mimmorano and Frank Kud- luk-<left our mission at Holman island Aug. 8 for Reid island on the first lap of an annual trip to pick up winter supplies. Following the coast, we arrived at Reid island | Aug. 10. Our boat, a 30foot Vancouver- bull fishing craft, rode the sea well. y "$aking- on supplies, we left island Aug. 12 on a south- west course for Listen island. Toward evening we became aware of the strength of the cur- rent. Hours passed, but the shores of nearby Lambert island seemed always to keep their distance ehead of us. With the current came a terrible southeast wind. Within 45 minutes, a dense fog fell. The land was gone. We continued into the wind and current for at least three hours. We must have blown off course. That evening, to save what fuel we had left, we decided to stop our engine. The strong winds and current carried us northeastward. From that time on our course was a mystery. The fog lifted early on the morn- ing of Aug. 14 and we saw land about two miles away. We were almost ready to leave again when Jim Mimmorano spotted a caribou. We could almost taste it. A few hours later the boys were back with three caribou. We all made camp in a small cabin Jack Goose and I found shortly after landing. We then dug out a compass we had found and concluded we were near one of the rivers that empty into Amundsen gulf west of Coppermine. After the night's rest we'clam- bered aboard and set our course almost due east. But the sea grew rough and long swells came along. Fog overtook us as we made our way in. We.saw the mouth of a river facing northwest. We had just entered it when we ran out of gas. Thinking we were about 30 miles from Coppermine, we elected to walk there for gas. Jack Goose, Jim Mimmorano and I started out with our small compass, binoculars and a rifle with 20 rounds of am- munition. We dozed off on a bed of soft moss. At 3 am. rain awoke us and we started an all-day walk. We managed to kill five ptarmi- gans and ate them raw, having nothing to make a fire. We had walked so far our foot- gear turned to tatters, but we finally reached the shore of a deep bay. We then retraced our steps back to the boat, which we found the next day. On Aug. 23 we tribd to go out with our boat but the wind drove us back on the rocks, breaking our rudder. Two days later Father Tardy and the other two natives started out in the opposite direction along the shore, They had the same hard- ship as we but luckily they found a camp. On Aug. 31, after a break in the dense fog, we heard a plane. An RCAF Canso aircraft had spotted us and circled for about an hour, dropping food and cigarets. They left when the fog closed in again, but we knew they would help us. $500 Donation To Community Chest Third contribution to be received for the 1953 Community Chest, and the largest contribution so far, was a cheque for $500 from the - employees of the Ontario Motors Sales, Limited, presented this morning. Accompanying the cheque was the following ' letter from A. S. Clark, office manager of the com- pany, addressed to Murray John- ston, Community Chest president and which read as follows; "Dear Sir: We understand that the greater Oshawa. Community Chest drive will soon start and the employees of Ontario Motor Sales Ltd. wish you to accept the en- closed cheque in the amount of $500.00 as their donation.

Attack On Navy Launch Protested LONDON (AP) -- Britain pro- tested to Red China today against a Communist vessel's attack on a motor launch of the Hong Kong defence force. Informed sources reported that British charge d'affaires Humph- rey Trevelyn delivered a note to the Peiping government express- ing this country's outrage at the incident. The attack took place 40 miles south west of the Hong Kong island colony Wednesday and re- sulted in the deaths of six Royal Navy sailors and the injury of five others. it does not have to be paid in a lump sum. "Our best wishes for another successful drive. "Yours truly, "ONTARIO MOTOR SALES LTD. "A. 8. Clark." LONDON (CP)--Exports of ten- nis and golf balls from Britain bounded to a total of £500,000 in the first seven months of 1953, compared with £400,000 in the same period last year. Chances Of Selling Wheat Not As Good As Last Year OTTAWA (CP)--Though Prairie larmers have produced a near- record grain crop this year, many | may have to fall back on the earn- ings of last year's record harvest to tide them over the critical months ahead. Trade Minister Howe, announc- a $100,000,000 Canadian wheat | ing board payment 1952-53 grain, that the farmer's chances of dis- posing of wheat this fall are not as good as they were a year ago. But he said in a statement he believes the current wheat board Jeyment added to previous earn- ngs by the Prairie farmers on last year's crop "would materially as- sist in financing producers during the difficult fall months when pro- ducers' deliveries of grain would of necessity be smaller than dur- ing the preceding fall." = to farmers on Mr. Howe gave no indication of | any special government assistance to encourage farm storage, though he said it is "inevitable" that with today made clear la large crop being harvested, farmers will have to carry "un- usually large stocks of grain on | farms until adequate storage space is cleared." : . | The critical problem results from {the fact farmers have produced {three bumper crops in a row, causing a storage congestion at | country and terminal elevators. anadian .sales of wheat also have dropped sharply and the immediate outlook for large-scale sales is not promising. The $100,000,000 wheat board payment includes $64,000,000 cov- ering an interim payment of 12 cents a bushel on all grades of the record 533,000,000 bushels of wheat for the 1952-53 crop year. It also includes $36,000,000 to cover the close-out of the 1952-53 | oats 'and barley pools. My. Howe: said the payment of each bushel cannot be worked out until pool accounting is completed. Wheat cheques start moving Oct. 1, followed by. oats payments and land the later by barley cheques. Payments will be completed by the end of the year. 4 The magnitude of Canada's wheat storage and transportation problem is accentuated by the fact that this year the all-Canada wheat crop. may reach about 603,000,000 bushels, the second highest in his- tory following a record 688,000,000- bushel crop' last year. «Adding to the problem, Britain, Canada's biggest wheat customer, isn't showing much enthusiasm for Canadian wheat this year at the maximum price of $2.05 (United States funds) a bushel for No. 1 northern. Britain has declined to join the new International Wheat Agree- ment where the ceiling is $2.05 floor $1.55 a bushel. She has opposed the boost in the ceil- ing to $2.05 from $1.80 last year. Consequently, Canada's 'exports under the IWA in August dropped to about 12,000,000 bushels from about 60,000,000 in the same month last year, Doukhobors Face Trial On Sept. 17 By BRUCE LEVETT Canadian Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER (CP) -- Charged with contributing to juvenile delin- quency, 148 Doukhobors today be- gan their first day in Oakalla prison farm following a "weird"' midnight court session.

Savings would be the same as if 60 new automobile cars (worth $540,000) were added to CPR's in- ventory, Victor Smart, Assistant General Superintendent, Montreal told the commissioners. Canadian National Railways is opposing the application. Other saving were detailed by R. K. O'Hara, CPR statistician but both his figures and those given by Mr. Smart were questioned and the validity of their methods of computation doubted by CNR coun- sel. , COST OF OVERPASS At the opening of today's hear- ing -- the second day -- CPR of- ficials said that $580,000 is the total estimated cost of the entire spur line project which will Tun from the CPR main line to a property which has been acquired for a switching yard, immediately east of Thornton's Road and south of highway 401. It will cost $150,000 to construct an overpass over the highway and another $45,000 to overpass the CNR tracks. Other costs of the spur will be kept down by using second-hand material. It was also stressed that when CPR is able to cease using the stitching services of the Oshawa Railway Company, which now takes CP cars from the GM plant to the CP yard at Ritson Road, au- to shipments can be greatly speed- ed up. RETIRE COST QUICKLY Basing his estimates on June, 1953 operations, Mr. O'Hara said |that CPR paid $37,116 during that month to Oshawa Railway for switching service. Of that, about 75 per cent was in respect to busi- ness which is soon to be all trans- fered to the new GM plant. A total of 1,106 cars were handled in the month. If CPR is allowed to handle its own traffic via the pro- posed spur line, it could effect an estimated saving of $22,350 a month or $268,000 annually. At this rate, the entire cost of British TUC Rejects Disarmament Motion By ALEX VALENTINE DOUGLAS, Isle of Man (Reuters) Britain's "middle of the road" Trade Union Congress today ap- proved a Communist-sponsored motion calling on the government to press for Big Four peace talks but threw out another Commun- ist motion which asked for a re- armament cut, Delegates representing 8,000,000 ritish trade unionists took the advice of their leaders in reject- ing the rearmament demand after they were told it would commit Britain to unilateral action. "We would support all-round dis- armament but will not back a resolution which would weaken Britain while other nations grow stronger," said Arthur Deakin, congress vice-president. The trade unionists, rushing throvgh a piled up agenda on the last day of their week-long con- ference here, also rejected a de- |mand by the Chemical Workers Union which asked the British trade union movement to take the initiative in creating a Socialist "third force' to 'fill the vacuum between Russia and the United States." R. Edwards, general secretary of the chemical workers, said the world was d6minated by two mighty powers "snarling at one another." "A mere incident can plunge our universe into a devastating war," he said. He declared that the re- cent West German elections were held with the Russians and Ameri- cans "trying to tell the German workers how they should vote--a deliberate, calculated intervention against our Socialist movement in Germany." "The people of Europe do not need the gestapo of Russia or the witch-hunting of America to tell them how to vote." said Edwards. Declare Three More Canadians Prisoners By BRUCE LEVETT Canadian Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER (CP) -- At least three Canadians at present listed on Canadian Army records as missing, are known prisoners of the Communists, returning prison- ers said here Thursday. The statement was made to The Canadjan Press as five former prisoners of war, listed by the army as 'the last", arrived here by air under a tight security ban. One of the returned prisoners, who did not wish his name used, said the three Canadians were pressured into signing statements admitting participation In germ warfare. If released, they will be turned over to a UN commission, he said. The arrivals were Capt. Joseph M. Liston, Ottawa; Pte. T. J. P. Allen, Montreal; Cpk F. J. Jolly- more, Toronto; L. upl. G. A, Mec- Kinney, Melita, Man., and Pte. R. T. Eakins, Toronto and Guelph. Released with them, but held in Japan for medical reasons was L. Cpl. William Bell of Toronto. Evidence of tight security drill- ing imposed following their release was given in answers to even the most innocent questions. The question "How did the Com- munists treat you?" was answered with another query. "Sir, am I permitted to answer that?" the 'repatriated prisoner asked an officer. 'Oh, yes," the officer replied. "You may speak freely here. "Not bad," the soldier said. The'officer, a lieutenant, stressed however, the prisoners could not mention the names of any other prisoners - they might have met while in Communist hands. the spur construction would be re- tired in two or three years. Other indirect savings would also come to Canadian Pacific. Turning to the yearly operating profits of Oshawa Railway Com- pany, Canadian Pacific pointed out that their payments ($341,000 last year) were a large factor. Mr. Smart recalled that yester- day, W. A. Wecker, President of CPR.

Durkin as labor se- cretary. Durkin, a union leader and a Democrat, quit his cabinet post with a charge that the Eisenhower administration had broken an agreement with him on recom- mendations to be made in chang- ing the controversial Taft-Hartley Tabor relations law. Presidents George Meany of the AFL and Walter Reuther of the CIO quickly sided with Durkin and | accused Eisenhower of failing to live up to promises made to or- ganized labor. There was no comment from Eisenhower, outside of a letter ac- cepting Durkin's resignation and praising his service as secretary. "It has long been a tradition in the labor movement that once an agreement is reached the parties abide by it," Meany said. 'Mr. Durkin is. schooled in that trad- ition. He resigned because he could not continue serving on a team where agreements are not kept." Meany and Reuther and their organizations, as did most of the rest of organized labor's leaders, supported Democrat Adlai Steven- son against Eisenhower in last fall's presidential elections. After his victory, Eisenhower surprised nearly everyone by choosing Durkin, a staunch Demo- crat and president of the AFL's plumbers union, for the labor cab- U.S. Labor Secretary Resigns Charges Agreement Violated inet post. Durkin himself expressed surprise and the late senator Rob- ert A. Taft (Rep. O.) called the appointment "incredible." The , selection was widely re- garded as an effort by the new administration to woo union sup port, since they had comprised the largest single segment of the U.S opposed to the Republicans. This opposition came from union leaders. It was appar- ent from the size of the Eisen. hower vote that many union mem- brs had voted Republican. With Durkin's appointment most union leaders adopted a "wait and see" attitude toward the new ad- ministration. The statements of Meany and Reuther, accusing the administration of breaking faith .S.

The third escapee, James McCooey, walked into the police station and | gave himself up about an hour later. All were wearing new clothes and a quantity of new clothes were found along with money in a stolen car parked near 'the pool hall. Police said the clothing had come from a break-in Wednesday night at Kapuskasing. The car was re- ported stolen Wednesday at Cobalt. All three were remanded to jail | pending laying of charges. 'Free Pair On Entry Charge A breaking and entering charge, laid by Mrs. Joseph Conlin, 47 Celina Street against Maurice Ken- nedy, 241 Julien Street, and John Hill, Belleville, was dismissed this morning by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs. The magisrate felt there was in- sufficient evidence against the two men to convict them of the theft of some $70 to $80. That amount was missing from Mrs. Conlin's purse, on the kitchen table, after the two accused visited her home in the Conlins' absence. Defense counsel J. P. Mangan, QC., protested his clients' inno- ¢ence of a crime several persons in the house could have committed. Both men said that the door was open when they arrived, and that they stayed only a few minutes.
