pilot, Bill Currington. since they

light Cessna plane. Dr. Cook was

Use British Troops
To Unload Ships
LONDON, f/P)—The labor gov
ernment ordered troops into the
London waterfront tonight to un
load food ships paralyzed by a
strike of stevedores.
The two weeks strike continued
i to spread today despite a threat by
I United States dock workers to
i boycott British ships there unless
I it stops.
Mose of the more than 100 cargo
I .
ships harbor-locked by the
Thames River strike carry food
: for rationed Londoners. Labor
minister George Isaacs told parlia
ment the government had decided
| to use troops as a means of "safe
guarding food supplies.”
Britain Halts
Dollar Spending
LONDON <>?')—Britain today or
dered a halt to the spending of her
dwindling dollars except where
: importers can show such spending
is a matter of urgent national ne
cessity.
Sir Stafford Crips said a buyer’s
market has reduced exports to the
j United States and cut earnings
abroad so that Britain has had to
dig drastically into her reserve of
gold and dollars to pay her bills.
I The situation likely will slash
purchases of food and raw’ mate
rials abroad. This country now ob
tains vast quantities of wheat, cot
ton, tobacco and gasoline from
the United States and other coun
tries demanding payment in dol
lars or other “hard” currencies.
Cripps did not go into details to
day, but promised them later.
He reported the sterling area’s
reserves are down to $1,624,000,
000 after dropping radically in the
last six months—but he said Bri
tain has “not the slightest inten
tion of revaluing the pound.”
Existing contracts for dollar
area purchases will stay in force,
Cripps told the House of Com
mons, but the treasury will permit
further spending only “where a
clear case of urgent national in
terest is established.”
£amps in the Kougarok closed
down for the 4th of July and all
were guests of George Waldheim
for the celebration. The Waldheim
i camp is at Dahl Creek.
