Out., Feb.2.\u2014 \u2014Directors of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in closed sessions today reviewed 30 resolutions adopted at the annual convention yesterday, practically all seeking protection against slumping prices for farm products.Of resolutions passed by the convention only one met opposition, and that was the resolution reaffirming the C.F.A.\u2019s support of public control of radio under the CBC.A substitute motion by Howard A.Prentice of St.Catharines, objecting to continued public control, was defeated.Chief among the resolutions passed was one urging establishment of national and provincial marketing boards to work in conjunction with the federal prices support act.Delegates asked that Agriculture Minister Gardiner cal! a meeting of Dominion and Provincial government agricultural officers with representatives of producer organizations to work out the plan.The marketing boards plan was seen as the federation\u2019s answer to Mr.Gardiner\u2019s speech Tuesday, when he said that provincial rights were a factor in the complicated picture of price supports.Dr.E.C.Hope of Ottawa, C.F.A.economist, told the convention that agriculture is at an unfair disad-! vantage compared to other industries and labor as a w\u2019 ole.He said that in drafting new price support legislation the government should consider a formula setting the range at which prices may be fixed: should announce floor prices before crop production is started; I should include a plan for disposal I of surpluses and that' farmers i should be assisted by direct payments on the basis of volume of products.Dr.Hope said that price support plans should result from consultation between the governments and organized farmers.The government\u2019s attitude appeared to be not to provide price supports until the farmers were desperate.A-surprise was the rejection of a resolution asking a four-cent increase in the recently-announced floor price for eggs.H.H.Hannam of Ottawa, association president, objected to wording of the resolution which indicated it had come from the previous meeting, and the resolution was left over for the directors along with one asking for restoration of the 36-cent minimum fo- Wiltshire sides.Western wheat producers asked extension of the powers vested in the Canadian wheat board as sole agency for marketing wheat, also extension of its powers to include coarse grains.On butter and cheese, resolutions from Gilbert MacMillan of Huntingdon, Que., a:ked that the floor price for butter be maintained at 58 cents, and that the door price for cheese be raised from 27 to 30 cents a pound.Washington, 'Feb.2.\u2014The United States food and drug administration expressed alarm today over an increase in the number it has found on Two Radio Signals.One a Voice Transmission, Reported,drues Heard in Smith River District of Yukon.It also noted a rise in the careless.use of the deadly rat poison 1080.In his annual report, commissioner Paul B.Dunbar listed these as some of the difficulties he has run into in the last fiscal year: 1.The increase in coffee prices led to attempts to salvage coffee \u201cto the last bean.\" The administration seized five large lots of * sweepings beans spilled from | i broken bags in ship holds and on I locks \u2014 some of them containing Whitehorse, Y.T., Feb.2\u2014\u2014Two more radio signals, one of them a reported voice transmission, were picked up last night in the Smith river area where searchers yesterday concentrated efforts in the week-long hunt for a missing C-54 transport plane and its 44 occupants.Air Commodore Martin Costello of Winnipeg, coordinator of the joint U.S.-Canada search, said the second signal was picked up by a C-54.\"Two planes from Fort Nelson (B.C.) have been sent toj-half their weight in unspeakable investigate, he said.Costello said the second signal was heard about 7:30 p.m.Yukon time.It consisted of a series of VVY s and was picked upon the 500-kilocycle international distress frequency.A similar signal reported F uesday night resulted in a concentration of planes in the Smith river area, about 300 miles southeast of Whitehorse.Returning pilots reported no success.The third radio signal was re-1!*- ported picked up south of Aishihik, about 105 miles northeast of Whitehorse along the route the missing plane would have taken.It was reported to be a voice transmission and to have given figures of longitude.Pilots checking another report, that of smoke clouds in the vicinity of Teslin, 80 miles southeast of Whitehorse, also came back empty-handed.They reported seeing only vapor clouds rising from an ice fault in the vicinity.\t» Costello ordered a 24-hour check of the 500-kiloeycle band in hopes that additional signals would be heard and that a position \u201cfix\u2019\u2019 could be obtained on the point of origin.In referring to the second signal\u2014the series of VVV\u2019s\u2014Costello said there is no reason to be lieve the series of the were transmitted by a \u201cGibson girl,\u201d an emergency radio transmitter carried by army planes.The latest report was received here as snow fell for the first time in several days.Weather forecasters said the next few days would be cloudy and snowy with the storm intensity ranging from \u201cmoderate to severe.\u201d Victims 01 Polio Are In Montreal U.S.To Spurn Red Demand That Hirohito Face Trial Washington, Feb.2.\u2014(TP)\u2014A surprise Soviet proposal to try the Japanese emperou on criminal charges involving the use of germ warfare will be rejected by the United States, officials said today.The exact response has to be worked out by the state department after study of the charges filed late yesterday against Hirohito and four other Japanese.Presumably the other wartime Pacific allies will be consulted.But diplomatic authorities said there is little doubt that the U.S.answer will be an emphatic \u201cno.\u201d They look for most of the other former wartime enemies of Japan to follow suit.To accept the Russian proposal would mean ( 11 reversing a 1949 decision by the 13-country far eastern commission to wind up all the war crimes trials and (2> upsetting the American policy of controlling Japan during the occupation through the emperor.Responsible officials made plain they suspect a Moscow propaganda manoeuvre.The U.S.has been pressing Russia to return 376,000 war prisoners the Japanese contend are still being held by the Soviets.The reaction in Tokyo was much the same.Alva C.Carpenter, head of Gen.Douglas Mac Arthur's legal section, said the Russian de- mand \u201ccertainly will be turned down.\u201d William J.Sebald, chief of MacArthur\u2019s diplomatic section, commented: \u201cIt looks as though the Russians have tipped over another smoke pot.\u201d Officials in Washington speculated the move was designed to serve two communist propaganda purposes: To distract attention in Japan from the war prisoners dispute and to lay the basis for further attacks on U.S.policy in communist China and elsewhere.Ambassador Alexander S.Pan-yushkin filed the unexpected trial demand in a 22-page note which he handed to State Secretary Dean Acheson.It was understood similar notes went to other countries, including Canada, represented on the far eastern commission, the agency set up after VJ-Day to fix policies for the Japanese occupation.The note called for Hirohito\u2019s trial by an international court.Translation of the text was expected to ,be completed today.Although details were not disclosed immediately, it was reported that the charges grew out of the Soviet trial of 12 Japanese army officers at Khabarovsky in eastern Siberia.Moscow announced that all 12 had pleaded guilty to using germs against allied prisoners and Chinese civilians.The charges were viewed with skepticism in the west at the time.More than two score planes participated in the search yesterday, completing what Costello described as the \u201cpreliminary all-out effort.\u201d From now on the search will be renewed over areas covered only once or twice before.The missing C-54 disappeared last Thursday while en route on a non-stop hop from Anchorage, Alaska, to Great Falls.Mont.Aboard were 34 servicemen returning to the States for discharge or reassignment, an expectant mother and her young son, and the eight crew members.Air Commodore Costello said the Smith river signals warranted additional concentration of search planes in the area.The signal last, night was a series of letters which the air commodore said there was no reason for a man in a is cress to send.The voice transmission also was heard on the distress frequency 500 kilocycles, at a period allotted only for signals of distress.But Air Commodore Costello said that someone in the area already has used this frequency to send a personal message while the search was going on.This was an illegal practice because the band and allotted times are meant only to send S.O.S., the Air Commodore said.Two other clues which search planes will investigate today are a peculiar snowslide in the Carcross area, 46 miles south of here, and a report from the Teslin, Y.T., radio range station of a large cloud of black smoke.Planes will try for a closer look today at the snowslide which was discovered yesterday while reports of an explosion in the area last Thursday were being checked.A United States air force Dakota crashed Monday near Carcross while investigating the explosion report.Four crew members were injured.When planes noticed the peculiar snowslide in the heavily-timbered mountains yestérday, they were unable to get a close look at it because of poor flying weather.They will make a further investigation today if visibility is good.One plane also got a quick look at the cloud of smoke reported by the Teslin radio range station, halfway between here and Snag, Y.T.But darkness settled in before the plane, a B17, could get a good view from low level.This area has been searched three times since the transport disappeared.Thirty-four planes took off from here yesterday and covered 34,200 square miles of mountain country without success.Eight planes were in the search area from Fort Nelson, B.C., covering 12,150 square miles.The favorable weather which has made it possible for large numbers of aircraft to search appeared to have ended today.( Montreal, Feb.2.\u2014ffi>\u2014 Eight children from a lonely northern Quebec village are in hospital here today undergoing tests for dread poliomyelitis\u2014-but a Labrador doctor says he doesn't expect there will be any more evacuations from the epidemic area.Merlin Shattler, 7, and Richard McKinnon, 8, were flown to Montreal by the R.C.A.F.last night from the strait of Belle Isle vil-letter V 'age °*' Augustin, where a polio epidemic has been raging since Jan.18.In a Montreal hospital they joined six other children from St.Augustin who were flown out by the R.C.A.F.last week.Dr.Bert Porter of St.Mary\u2019s harbor, Labrador, accompanied little Merlin and Richard and he said that it was not expected there ! would be any more children | brought here.He added, however that there were a number of other children suffering from polio in the small village near the Lahrador-Quebec border, and about 12 were in serious condition.As for Merlin and Richard, he said they were \u201cquite chipper\u201d after their 1,000-mile plane ride.As in last week\u2019s mercy flight, an R.C.A.F'.ski-equipped Dakota aircraft from the base at Goose Bay, Labrador, carried the victims.It was piloted by Don Cuth-bertson of Brantford, Ont.Doctors here said yesterday that four of the original six children brought to Montreal definitely had polio but that the other two had shown no signs of the disease.It was not known immediately whether the latest two would turn out to have polio.Yesterday, two Montreal physicians, Dr.Bernard Laramee and Dr.Brunelle, flew to St.Augustin to study the epidemic, only the second ever recorded during the winter months.The first was last year among the Eskimos who live west of Hudson Bay in Canada's far north.Eleven died.Two children so far have died in the St.Augustin epidemic.filth 2.\tDDT still is found in dairy J barns.The agency reaffirmed its ' position of last fall that there will be \u201cno tolerance for DDT in

Chi-Minh i had killed and wounded 4,900 to 20,000 Chinese nationalist soldiers attempting to cross the French Indo-Ohina boarder.The Chinese were, moving under French fighter plane cover during the last two weeks, the news service said.Ho is anti-French and has been recognized by Russia and the communist China regime.The nationalists, the news service said, were encircled at Nagiao between the Chinese border and Gao Bang Jan.14th.Ho\u2019s office here, in confirming the battle, said Chinese nationalist counter-attacks were driven off.The office added French army units attempted to reinforce the Chinese but were unsuccessful.Ottawa, Feb.2\t¦#/ - Final ar- gument on the validity of federal rent controls likely will he made today before the .Supreme Court of Canada.The hearing began Monday.Counsel for Canadian landlords, R.M.W.Chilly of Toronto, will resume argument, developing his theme that orders-in-council covering continuation of rent controls are illegal and that the federal government is enroaching on powers which rightfully belong to the provinces.He said he did not argue against the validity of the war measures act under which the controls were insiituted in 1941 or that the federal government had usurped powers under that act which might not have belonged to it.\u2022 All he was concerned with was that the government had passed orders-in-council, allowing the continuation of rent controls.This it had no power to do.This power remained solely with the provinces, under section 92 of the British North America Act.Rents were a matter of contracts between landlords and tenants.fcdorrl government will extend them i eyond March 31.the expiry dale.If the court rules otherwise, then tho controls will lapse and it will be up to the provinces to step into the field if they want the controls continued.However, since the Supreme Court opinion will not he binding, nettling to prevent owners from con-tion in the Ontario Living Costs Index Is Awaited Ottawa, Feb.2.\u2014 41\" \u2014 By the time they finished their Christmas shopping, most ( anadians probably thought the cost-of-living had reached an all-time high in December.In a few days, when the bureau of statistics issues its monthly report on living costs, they 11 know just how high it actually was.The bureau\u2019s cost-of-living index stood at 161.6 in November, the fourth consecutive month in which slight declines were recorded.The index is calculated on the basis that 1935-39 average living costs equal 100.The index reached its all time-high - 162.8 last July.In November it still was 60.2 per cent higher than m August, 1939.The drop in November was one,-fifth of a point ami was attributed mostly to lower food prices which make up nearly a third of the index.Eggs and meats led the decline in food costs.The food sub-itulcx fell 1.4 points to 201.9, the fourth consecutive monthly decline.But rents, fuel and miscellaneous items, making up 4$ per cent of the items compiled in the index, all edged up slightly.The rent index was 125, an increase of 1.1 points.Although increases in ceiling rents were permitted m December, they are not expected to tie reflected in the December index.The fuel index increased one-tcntli of a point, mainly because of higher costs of United States coal, to 135.2.The drop in November was one-fifth of a point and was mainly the result in lower

rent controls.Both counsel for the Quebec government and landlords challenged this application.Mr.Justice R.L.Keliock and Mr.Justice I.C.Rand differed with the Chief Justice and Mr.Justice Patrick Kerwin in dismissing the federal reque t.In the morning session, when Mr.Justice Keliock said he had Mr.Justice I.( .Rand suggested | not been consulted on the decision Ray Of Hope In Coal Strike As Contract Talks Continue Washington, Feb.2.\u2014 ÇP) \u2014Officials watching for a break in the long United States coal dispute took hope today as contract talks between John L.Lewis and soft coal operators went into a second session.Many industry representatives had privately predicted a short life for the negotiations, which were resumed yesterday after a three-month layoff.Whether enough progress was made at the opening talks to warrant back - to - work order from Lewis to the 100,000 striking miners remained to be seen, If he sent such word to his union leaders last week, it was not apparent.The number of strikers swelled Monday to more than a quarter of the total soft-coal miner?in his United States Workers Union.The rest were on a three-day week.The U.M.W.leader told newspaper men he would not have time to call in his 200-man policy committee before replying to President Truman\u2019s peace plan by the Saturday noon deadline.But he said he would have an answer.Truman asked Lewis and the operators Tuesday to restore \u201cnormal production\u201d for 70 days.He offered, with their approval, to assign a fact-finding board to recommend a solution to the contract dispute in the coal industry.operators commented on their opening talks.As they resumed negotiations, counsel for the union and the National Labor Relations Board battled in federal court over the operators\u2019 complaint that Lewis is guilty of unfair labor practices, and should be restrained from using the three-day week.Federal Judge Richmond B.Keech heard the arguments, then indicated that he would have no decision on the injunction plea before next week.Miami Beach, Fla., Feb.2\u2014tlT)\u2014 A.F.L.President William Green said today that continued control on labor will hurt business and make the United States ripe for communism.\u201cLabor cannot be dragged down in this country without dragging down our whole free enterprise system with it.\u201d he said.Green\u2019s latest plea for repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor law came after A.F.L, leaders drew up plans for changing the complexion of the U.S.Congress next fall to insure the labor law\u2019s repeal.The A.F.L.\u2019s political branch\u2014 league for political education\u2014 claims it is getting support from midwest farm gjoups in fighting present Congress members who favor Taft-Hartley.It was contended the same legislators sup- that the order under test\u2014the Wartime Leasehold Regulations\u2014 was not related to orders-in-council.The order related to legislation passed by parliament and it was a question of whether that legislation was or was not beyond the jurisdiction of parliament.Mr.Chitty followed L.Emery Beaulieu, counsel for the Quebec government, in giving argument before the court.Mr.Beaulieu contended that parliament had usurped powers which rightfully belonged to the provinces.It had based its right to these powers on the questionable statement that there was an \u201cemergency\u201d in Canada.If there had been a n \"emergency\u201d during the second world war, this emergency now had passed.Chief Justice Thibaudeau Rin-fret suggested lo him that the only way rent controls could to do in the civil action in the courts.All the court was going to do in the present reference was to give an \u201copinion,\u201d and nothing more.The federal government, which had asked for that opinion, could accept it or not.It was binding on no one.Mr.Chitty, counsel for the Canadian property owners association, told the court that an action against the controls had been started in the Supreme Fourt of Ontario.The court had decided to suspend hearing of the case last November, when the federal government announced its intention of seeking an opinion from the Supreme Court of Canada on the validity of its controls.If the Supreme Court rules that the controls are valid, then the announced by the chief justice that the application had been dismissed, tho Chief Justice suggested an adjournment to hold a private conference.The conference was held just before the afternoon session and the Continued On Page 5 Seven Missing In Plane Crash The Hague, Feb.2 -(Reuters) The wreckage of

9\u2014Social and Personal Page 16\u2014Sports News.By NORMAN ALT ST FILTER Canadian Press Staff Writer Lake Success, N.Y., Feb.2.\u2014 \u2014The India-Pakistan dispute over possession of Kashmir which aggravates a troubled Asia is long overdue for a showdown.A cease-fire Jan.1, 1949.formally ended some 13 months of fighting in the rich Himalayan area.No truce has been signed in the meantime and relations between the two Commonweallh countries have worsened.The case first came before the United Nations Jan.1, 1948, when there was fear the conflict might spill over into a major war involving millions on the sub-continent.That concern has not vanished with the deadlock continuing.General A.G.L.McNaughton of Canada is expected to report next week on the latest of U.N.attempts to mediate the dispute.The Canadian\u2019s efforts were made while he was president of the Security Council during December.So far all reports indicate Mc-Naughton\u2019s proposals for demilitarization of Kashmir to smooth the way for a plebiscite, will not be accepted by India.The Indians argue that their forces were called in to Kashmir by tho legal government of the state and Pakistan forces should therefore withdraw before Indian armies are reduce:\u2019.Pakistan is understood to he favorable towards McNaughton\u2019s i alan\tf-\u2014 - \u2019'dot with-I drawal of forces under a strict timetable.So the respective positions remain essentially what they have been since mediation efforts first started almost two years ago.tf there are any new developments net yet made public, they will perhaps be revealed in McNaughton\u2019s report to the Security Council.Une point on which both countries agree: A plebiscite should be held to determine the wishes of the 4,000,000 inhabitants of Kashmir.About one-quarter the size of British Columbia, Kashmir has tie?with both India and Pakistan.About four-fifths of the population are Moslems But this fact docs not mean they necessarily want to join with Moslem Pakistan.Kashmir\u2019s IVemier Sheikh Abdullah, devotedly in favor of Hindu India, is a devout Moslem.His government and army is largely Moslem.Kashmir, rich in silk manufactures, forest products, fruits and untapped mineral resources, is caught in the middle of an economic war between the two Commonwealth countries.Pakistan did not devaluate her currency during the recent flurry w\u2019hile India did.Consequently almost all trade between them has stopped, causing serious dislocation in both countries.The fight started soon after India and Pakistan attained independence from Britain in August» 1947. 1 wo 5HLKBKUOK.E DAILY KLCOKU, 11-1UK5ÜAY, J-EBKUAKY 2, IV^O.LAKE MEG ANTIC The regular meeting of the Home and School Club was held in the school room on Thursday
