R.C.A.F. fighter planes roamed over the Normandy beachhead Sunday on armed reconnaissance patrols, shooting up at least 20 armored vehicles and damaging many more. An R.C.A.F. Typhoon destroyed with cannon-fire a German staff car and armed reconnaissance vehicles.

Canadian Spitfires over Caen shot down one enemy plane. As far as is known, no Canadian planes are The plane destroyed over Caen, the eighth victim of the R.C.A.F. Nighthawk Squadron since 2 fell to W. H. Vincent of Van- couver.

Four other also were downed by Canadian during planters the week-end, it 1s learned. The marksmen were J. F. McElroy, D.F.C., Kamloops, B.C.; Lt. Paul Johnson, San Diego: FltLt.

R. C. Wilson, Toronto, and George Mayson, Banff, Alta, These airmen of the Red Indian Squadron tangled with an enemy formation twice their size but escaped unscathed. Canadian Typhoon fighter-bomber squadrons dive-bombed enemy strong points confronting the Allied lines near Caen during the weekend. City of Montreal Squadron pilots said a great blast of flame and smoke leaped from the ground as they pulled away from one target, and the general belief was that some bombs struck an ammunition dump or oil tank.

In another week -end operation, City of Ottawa fliers cut off the retreat route of some German troops in the area north of Caen by destroying one end of a concrete bridge with bombs. Cliff Hicks, Winnipeg, led the squadron in an attack with 500- pour bombs on a tunnel Lassard, near Mozidon. The Typhoons attacked at A height of only 15 feet and the bombs were released a couple hundred feet from the tunnel mouth." They were set with delayedaction fuses and hit around the mouth of the tunnel or skidded inside," said Hicks. Railway yards south of Tilly were another objective, with Sadn. L.dr.

Hopes for Inquiry At Courtenay Camp QUEBEC, June 27-Alderman Joseph Matte said Monday night he hoped Defence Minister Ralston "will order a fair inquiry into charges of mistreatment of Quebec soldiers at the Courtenay, B.C., camp. He added he wanted to see "an Inquiry at which soldiers testifying will be free from reprisals." Friday night, Ald. Matte read a signed by 133 members of Les Fusiliers du St. Laurent in which the men claimed discrimination against them for refusing to sign for active service overseas. (On Saturday, Brig.

Roy Sargent, officer commanding the Courtenay camp, termed the charges "absurd." Commenting on Brig. Sargent's remarks, Ald.

SET PATTERN FOR TRADE Government's Tariff Proposals Look To Post- War Era ate after the war.

SUPPLY UNCHANGED OTTAWA, June a result of war conditions tariffs at present had little effect on external trade, Finance Minister Isley said in his budget address. The government, however, continued to have the most lively appreciation" of entering a post-war world which had been freed of wartime restrictions and high tariffs. As the post-war period approached it became increasingly important that Canada, in agreement with other nations, should set out the broad pattern of her trade policy. Large scale alterations in the tariff structure would have little imvrodiate effect and should, if possible be introduced by reciprocal arngement with other countries, Mr. said.

The reductions on agricultural implements, however, indicated the direction in which the government was shaping its post-war trade policy and also gave effect to a desire to provide agriculture with some assurance of the conditions under which it might be expected to oper- The government's action would not increase the available supply of implements, but the prices board will amend its ceiling regulations on imported farm machinery and repair parts to give effect to the decreases resulting from the removal of duties and tax, Mr. Ilsley said. Practically the only country from which agricultural implements are imported into Canada is the United States. The tariff reductions affect some 70 types of implements and equipment and spare parts on which present duties range from five to 25 percent. A duty of five percent on imports from the United States, or any other most-favored-nation country, on articles which enter into the cost of manufacture of almost all agricultural implements and machinery in the list affected has been eliminated when imports are for manufacture of articles of that type.

A duty of $1 a ton on pig iron and $2.75 a ton on iron or steel rods or bars used in the manufacture of agricultural implements also has been eliminated. For a number of years the tariff provided a drawback of 80 percent of the customs duty paid on materials used in the manufacture of agricultural implements. This drawback has been increased to 99 per- cent. TWINE AFFECTED Provision also has been made for duty free entry of articles which enter into the cost of manufacturing twine for baling farm produce. Items, previous subject to a five percent intermediate tariff which now will be free are: Chain for agricultural implements; spraying and dusting machines; bulb sterilizing apparatus; fruit testing apparatus; pruning hooks, pruning shears, animal dehorning instruments, fruit and vegetable grading machines, fruit and vegetable grating machines; fruit and vegetable washing and wiping machines, fruit and vegetable bagging and weighing machines, machines for topping vegetables, machines for bunching and tying vegetables, machines for bunching and tying cut flowers, machines for lidding boxes, egg ers and egg cleaners and complete parts of these articles.

NAZIS CHARGE EDEN WRONG 'Assumptions' About Shooting of Prisoners Said 'Premature' LONDON, June 27. A German D.N.B.

agency broadcast of a Wilhelmstrasse press conference Monday said a Nazi foreign office spokesman told newspapermen the German government is preparing further note" concerning the shooting of Allied prisoners of war in a German camp. The spokesman said a statement by Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, in the house of commons "is based on assumptions which must be regarded as wrong as well as premature." Eden in his statement Saturday said the Germans had admitted 50 Allied airmen, including six Canadians, had been shot attempting to escape a prisoner-of-war camp. He described the shooting as a "mass murder." The spokesman, as quoted by D.N.B., said: "A few months ago about 80 prisoners of war fled from camps in Silesia. Eleven of them remained free, while 19 were recaptured. The remaining 50 lost their lives while attempting to escape." Obituary MRS.
