Exonerate Nisku Tragedy RCMP Officers In Collision
A coroner's jury exonerated two RCMP highway patrol officers over a fatal April 29 collision near Nisku Alberta. The officers had set a road block on the Calgary Edmonton highway and the victims’ car collided with a lumber truck stopped at the block. A prior crash into a third auto at the road block also factored in the verdict, with the jury noting that an extra constable could have preserved block effectiveness.

Seeding General In West With Manitoba Worried
OTTAWA May 16 Seeding now is general across most of Saskatchewan and Alberta though limited work has been done on land in flooded Manitoba the Bureau of Statistics said in a Prairie crop report. Provincial officials doubt whether the Red River Valley area of up to 530 069 acres will yield much this year. Warm weather is needed to dry moisture if seeding is to become general in Manitoba later. In southeastern Alberta most crops are in with less than half the heat acreage seeded from Lethbridge to Edmonton and only a good start in remaining areas.

May Reimburse Householders Who Aid Evacuees
Saskatoon May 16 CPL The Red Cross disaster services committee has decided that some Saskatoon householders will be entitled to reimbursement for food and shelter afforded Manitoba flood evacuees. Homeowners who billet refugees in difficult circumstances will qualify for a maximum schedule of fees. Each case will be decided on its own merits. Premier T Douglas had previously announced Saskatoon citizens would meet their own feed and shelter costs. The Saskatoon organization proposed to use relief funds locally contributed to meet the expense, with the Red Cross paying any balance.

Communist Generosity in Germany Reparations Debate
In Berlin on May 16 Russia announced a sharp cut in postwar German reparations, prompting Soviet propaganda about generosity. German officials labeled the move an empty gesture and phony accounting aimed at countering promises to relax occupation controls in western Germany. Prime Minister Stalin’s reparations cut was described as insufficient, with figures suggesting a reduction to about half and a remaining large balance to be paid in coming years.
