gers.The IWA, claiming a west-, ern Newfoundland membership i of 6,000, w!as certified last year to bargain with more than 30 Bowater\u2019s contractors but it had not signed working agreements with any of them.About 1,400 IWA loggers began leaving their jobs with Bowa-j ter's contractors in mid-January in what Premier Smallwood term-; ed an illegal strike in sympathy with the biter central Newfoundland dispute.Union officials insisted there was no strike; the contractors were just having trouble finding loggers willing to work.Shaw's Streamlined Alphabet Under Way LONDON (CP) \u2014 George Bernard Shaw\u2019s dream of a new and simplified English alphabet may become a reality this year.A team of English - language experts now is in the process of wading through 450 suggested designs- all with more than 40 letters, and later this year will decide which one, if any, will fulfill Shaw's dream.If the suggestions of the late Irish dramatist are followed, the chosen alphabet will have at least 16 letters with vowel sounds, and no one sound will require more than one letter.Shaw never did like \u201cPH\" being used for an \u201cF\u201d sound, and he thought the word \u201cthough\u2019\u2019 was a \u201cwild absurdity.\u201d His will, published in 1951 a year after he died at the age of 94, specified that as much money as necessary could be taken from his estate to cover the development of his alphabet.The remainder of the estate, then worth L 367.237, was to be divided among the British Museum, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the National Gallery of Ireland.LEGAL SQUABBLE The alphabet project was hung up for six years while the museum and the Royal Academy \u2018 successfully argued in a court action that it could not be carried out as specified.Would - he language reformers launche\u2019d an appeal, but before it was heard in 1957 a compromise agreement was reached whereby the alpha- Today's Chuckle Not being «ble to undtritand women wouldn't be »o bed if they didn't understand men.bet project received £8.300 from ! the estate.By this time the value of the estate had risen to £716,000 as loyalties kept coming in from Shaw\u2019s works.The biggest contribution came from My Fair i Lady, a musical version of i Pygmalion, that has earned about 1 £250,000 in royalties since it ¦ first opened three years ago.When the will was eventually settled in 1957, the enlarged estate w'as divided among the British Museum, the Royal Academy : and the National Gallery, but a spokesman at the public trustee\u2019s ofice refuses to say if royalties will continue to go to these beneficiaries.\u201cWe consider this a private affair and do not disclose ; details,\u201d he said.NO FAST CHANGE Although the new alphabet is expected to be put in writing some time this year, nobody ex-1 poets it to get widespread usage 1 for a long time.Language experts have said it would take generations to change over to an entirely new way of writing.And the trustees office says this new : alphabet will have little resem-1 blance to the existing one.When the office called for designs a year ago it said that, besides having at least 40 letters, the alphabet must save time, energy and paper; it must be eon- j venient to write and easy to read.The practical problems of typo- < graphy must also bo taken into account.The spokesman says it is \u2018\u2018quite remarkable\u201d that 450 people entered the contest.He also ! says the experts studying the entries arc \u201cquite amazed1\u2019 at the work involved.! Earlier this week the Corner Brook and District Labor Council\u2014like the IWA an affiliate of the Canadian Labor Congress\u2014 recommended that the loggers return to work.It could not be learned how many did so.WOULD BRING IN MEN Mr.Lane intimated that NBWW loggers from other parts of Newfoundland will be brought in if IWA loggers do not return to the Bowater\u2019s camps.There wa-s no law preventing men from one part of the province working in another part, he said, The NBWW was promoted by Premier Smallwood to replace the IWA, decertified by the legislature after 1,200 IWA loggers struck A.N.D.Dec.31.The one-year NBWW contract with A.N.D.provided an increase of five cents in the basic hourly rate of $1.05 and a nine-ccnt raise in the average piecework rate of $7.13 a cord.The IWA struck after the com- ¦ pany rejected a unanimous conciliation board report reeom- ! mending a fivc-cent hourly increase over two years and a six-hour reduction in the 60-hour work week without loss in pay.I The package would have raised the hourly rate to $1.22 an hour.] Mr.Lane said Bowater\u2019s has agreed to compensate fheir con- j tractors for the increases, retroactive to April 1.Signing of a I work agreement would be just a formality.Mr.Lane said he expects less | opposition to the NBWW in this area than in central Newfoundland.There had been no strike here and many loggers appeared anxious to get back to work.Meanwhile.Corner Brook and District Labor Council officials were lo meet Friday night to complete plans for a rally here Sunday.The 20-union council, a CLC affiliate, supports the IWA.Frank Chafe, CLC representative in eastern Newfoundland said Friday the fight to have the decertification legislation disal-! lowed \u201chas just begun.\u201d The CLC.has announced plans to collect $1 from each of its more than 1.000.000 members by May 31 for funds to aid the IWA.Premier Smallwood said Wednesday his government wa4 seri- j ously considering charging the i CLC with an \u201cillegal swindle.\u201d Mr.Chafe said the premier was \u201ca joke as far as the rest of Canada is concerned.He is operating a three-ring circus and doing Newfoundland more harm than good.\u201d _____ * Fulton Flies North EDMONTON (CP) - Justice1 Minister Fulton left Friday by1 RCMP plane for a 10-day tour of the Northwest Territories and northern Saskatchewan, clearing of the channel.By last night ice had backed i up for more than three-quarters ol a mile from the main street j bridge and for some lime the situation had appeared serious.Eyewitness reports last night claimed that by morning the situation would be considerably more difficult.Provincial police meanwhile have been keeping a close watch j on back roads and secondary highways for further flooding.Late last night warnings were broadcast through the district that extreme caution should be exercised on all roads heading in the direction of Richmond through Bromptonvillr.A new rainstorm brewing in the west held little hope of relief for other parts of Quebec pro\\ ince engulfed in spring floods.The weatherman promised sunny skies after the rain.Either way, the flood-stricken areas seemed caught\u2014rain and melting snow were turning low-lying places into wading ponds.Suburban Itivicre-dcs-Prairics, north of Montreal, reported streets and some basements under water.Much of the com munity is low, lying along the north river that makes Montreal an island, and parts have, no sewer drainage.Residents along the south shore of the St.Lawrence River, across from Montreal Island, also reported minor flooding at low spots.At Sherbrooke, the St, Francis River was a foot above normal and had overflowed its banks across parts of the Montreal high way.Beaucevillc, caught in an early flood at Christmas, 1958, was keeping a close watch on the Chaudière River which has risen three feet but still not near flood level.Dog-Loving Driver Ruled Negligent MONTREAL (CP) - Mr.Justice Charles \u2022 Edouard Ferland ruled Friday that a woman w'ho sw'erved her car to miss a dog and ended up in a ditch showed \u2018\u2018very heavy negligence.\u201d He ordered Mr.and Mrs.Napoleon Taillon of suburban Outre-mont to pay $17,902 to their niece, Marie McGraw, 36, who was injured when the Taillon auto hit the ditch.Dalai Lama To Remote Monastery NEW DELHI (Reuters) - In dia Friday granted political asylum to the Dalai Lama, divine ruler of Tibet, as he trim-lied by horseback along a dangerous mountainside trail in the remote northeastern corner of the conn try.Great excitement spread through India over news of his safe arrival.He reached India\u2019s northeast frontier Tuesday alter a two-week tlight with 80 of his followers from Lhasa, the Tibetan capital.Prime Minister Nehru told a cheering Parliament that the 23-year-old temporal and spiritual head of Tibet \u201cwill receive respect lui treatment.\u201d RODE HORSEBACK The \u201cgod-king,\" together with his mother, 14-year-old brother, 26-ycar-old sister and four cab inet ministers, rode horseback through 14,000 - foot Himalayan trails through Tibet, eluding 50,-000 Chinese Communist troops.He escaped from his capital before the Chinese authorities sup pressed an anti \u2022 Communist re volt there.Officials here said the party should reach Towang, 18 miles south of the Tibetan frontier, by Sunday.Towang, site of one of India's largest monasteries, is at an elevation of 10,000 feet, surrounded by thick jungle and towering peaks.Below the isolated, high-walled monastery with its 600 monks flow's the Towang River.REMOTE AREA After reaching the monastery, the refugee ruler still w'ill face a two-week trek over mountain and jungle to the nearest rail point of Balipara in Assam, Balipara is almost 1,000 miles from New Delhi.Official quarters* here doubt that he will come lo New Delhi.They expect him to be taken to a secluded hill station, where he could rest and avoid the 100-degree temperatures here.The Dalai I/ama, it was understood, might go to Tezpur or to Gauhati where he could board a plane.WASHINGTON UP) The North Atlantic council Friday agreed to take a strong, no-quai

On Spot By ED SIMON (Canadian Press Staff Writer) The safe arrival of the Dalai Lama on Indian soil has ended a tricky and inconclusive chapter in Prime Minister Nehru's rrla Hons w\u2019ilh Communist China.The next, move is up to the Chinese.Throughout the week in which Tibet\u2019s spiritual leader was making his hazardous way toward sanctuary, Nehru was forced into a position that contrasted un happily with his cherished role as the voice of the uncommitted peoples of the world.The man who has spent hi-lifc championing the cause of the oppressed was confronted by oppression barely outside his borders.Moral principle dictated a News Of The Week In Review God-King Outdistances Communist Pursuers By DAVID ROWNTREE Canadian Press Staff Writer The Dalai Lama outdistanced his Communist Chinese pursuers this week and reached India safely.The 23-ycar-old Tibetan ruler, considered a god by his people, has been granted political asylum, Prime Minister Nehru in dieated.India has been placed in a delicate diplomatic position by the Tibetan revolt which began March 17.Peiping has accused Nehru\u2019s government of meddling in China\u2019s affairs \u2014 the Communists invaded Tibet in 1950\u2014and of organizing \u201csubversive activities\u201d in the town of Lalimpong near the Tibetan border.India strongly denied both accusations.The Dalai Lama's whereabouts were unknown for two weeks.He is believed to have slipped away from his summer palace two days before fighting broke out in Lhasa, the capital, after the Chinese had called him to their command head quarters.Fearful crowds prevailed on him not to go and launched demonstrations demanding independence.Travelling by night and guarded by rebellious Khama Vibesmen, the Dalai Lama made the slow journey to the Indian border while Communist planes flew over the mountains, ready to drop paratroops to intercept his flight.TORY DEFEAT Manitoba will have its second provincial election in less than a year on May 14.Premier Duff Roblin's Progressive Conservative government, which was given -a shaky mandate in a vote last June 30, was beaten 30 to 20 on a want-of-con-fidence motion.Roblin's forces commanded only 26 of the 57 legislature seats.The Liberal-Progressives and the CCF combined to unseal the Conservatives in a vote on how the legislature should deal with the government\u2019s financial program.POLICY SEARCH Russia has agreed lo a foreign ministers\u2019 meeting in Geneva May 11.The chief subjects at the parley, which may precede a heads-of-government conference, will be Germany and Berlin.Meanwhile the West was still trying to work out a joint policy to present to the Russians The North Atlantic Treaty Organiza Hon, with Defence Minister George R.Pearkes representing Canada, held a l()th anniversary meeting in Washington.The dominant theme of public statements by the delegates was the need for firmness in meeting Nikita Khrushchev\u2019s threats to push Western occupation forces out of Berlin and conclude sep arate peace treaties with the two Germany's.A peace treaty with East Germany, a Communist satellite, would in effect give the Communists the right to control access lo encircled West Berlin no matter what guarantees for the city's status Khrushchev offered, NEWFOUNDLAND SUES The to:h anniversary of Newfoundland\u2019s entry into Confederation passed without flag-waving.\u201cWc have been bitterly hurt by the lack of understanding wc have received from the rest of Canada,\u201d Premier J.K Smallwood told guests at dinner in his honor at St.John\u2019s.Smallwood recalled that only 52 per cent of Newfoundlanders agreed lo Confederation and those who did had misgivings.\u201cNewfounland has been and still is a have-not province,\u2019\u2019 | Smallwood said, \u201cWe want to be a have province.\u201d The same day Newfoundland began court action against the federal government for unstated damages alleging a brearh of the agreement under which the RCMP acts as the island\u2019s provincial police force.The province\u2019s statement of claim said in effect that Justice Minister Davie Fulton broke the agreement early last month by-withholding requested police reinforcements at the height of disturbances in the loggers\u2019 strike MINING PROJECT The Ontario and British Columbia securities commissions have begun investigations of a strange and unsuccessful project to extract gold from the sands of the Fraser River near Lillooet, B.C.Rev.Leslie Mill in, a former pastor of a Toronto Baptist church, was questioned about the venture by officials in Victoria.He is reported to have raised at least $500.000 from Baptists in the two provinces lo finance the operation.Profits were to have been used lo finance the Freedom foundation, an anti-Communist organization\u2014and build a radio station for beaming broadcasts to R«1 China.clarion call of prolcsl; national security demanded silence To the dismay of his friends and the exultation of his foes, Nehru sought to steer a middle course, making .statements carrying compromising platitudes worthy of lesser statesmen.He reaped the worst of both possible worlds \u2014 biller attacks from Chinese and Indian ('omnium,sis for alleged intervention in the Tibetan fighting and from I Tibetan nationalists and (heir sympathizers lor not taking action.Particularly galling lo those who looked to Nehru lor leadership was his refusal to commit himself on the question of admitting refugees from the conflict, , a policy unhesitatingly adopted I 2H; years ago hy Ihe neutralist : government of liny Austria at the time of the Hungarian up-, rising.LOST PRESTIGE\u2014 Nehru\u2019s answer was to assert.India\u2019s right to take in refugees if she choses and to add that individual applications would he considered on their merits.Once again, it left both ^ides dissatisfied.Some of the pressure has been cased by the.prime minister\u2019s welcome to his \"honored guest.\" But his problems are far from solved.While it would have been inconceivable for India to refuse asylum to a dignitary revered by Indian as well as Tibetan bud-dhisls, the action has gravely embarrassed Nehru in his efforts to remain on good terms with his Chinese neighbors.Up to now, Chinese diplomacy has been less than brilliant, consisting principally of a series of implausible accusations of Indian complicity in the revolt.For the moment, ho can do little beyond denying the charges and waiting for the storm to blow over.In due course, the Chinese un-j doubtcdly will make conciliatory I gestures and Nehru will agree to ! forgive and forget.But he will j not easily regain the prestige ho ! ha* lost.1\tf TU SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD,' SAT., APRIL 4,
