Commission Checks Into Greek Charge Lake Success, July 19--(AP)--The United Nations Balkan subsidiary commission moved into Northwest- ern Greece today for an on-the- spot investigation of Greek charges that an "international brigade had invaded from Albania. The move was reported to U.N. headquarters yesterday as the Se- curity Council recessed hearing on the Balkan problem until next Tuesday, when the United States will attempt to force a showdown with Russia on establishing a watch over Greece's northern borders. The subsidiary commissions's de- cision to move into Northern Greece came after its investigating team reported that detachments. of an "international brigade" coming from Albania had invaded Greek terri- tory. The field team flew to the border area from Salonika after receiving a message from the Greek govern- ment of a new border incident July 13th. The field team was composed of representatives of Australia, the United States, Russia, Brazil and Syria. Information thus far received here did not make it clear whether the team was able to make an "eye- witness" investigation of the area where the fighting was reported. General debate on the Balkan problem in the Security Council was closed yesterday, thus clearing the way for a showdown--possibly late next week--on a U.S, proposal to establish an international watch on Greece's northern borders. MYSTERY SHROUDS BLAZE Montreal, July 19 -- (CP) -- Mys- tery shrouded a $25,000 fire which gutted the two-storey office building of the Harold Quinlan Cut Stone Ltd, in suburban Ville Lasalle last night, with the bullding caretaker and his wife unaccounted for after the blaze although no bodies were found in the ruins. 'While police and fire officials said there remained a slight possibility that the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Lemire, have perished in the blaze, it was more likely they got out of the building safely.

"| to bolster Rush Huge Aid Plans To Senate Washington, July 19 -- (AP) = Spurred by alarm over strife in Greece and a widening split be- tween Russia and the Western powers, the House of Representa. tives shoved along to the Senate today a $1,603,199,094 appropriations measure carrying $1,353,024,900 to finance American foreign Y. House passage came last night by voice vote in just an hour's time-- perhaps a peacetime record for a measure of its magnitude and inter. national implication--amid cries for halting all aid to countries under Russian domination. Assurance that such a ban is in. tended came from chairman John Taber (Rep.-N.Y.) of the House ap- propriations committee, speaking against the background of testi- mony--some secret, some public from high ranking army and diplo- matic chiefs. He told the House that aid will be denied to countries ideologically and economically associated with the Soviet Union "unless they turn over a new leaf and show that they are willing to co-operate with na- tions which believe in freedom." The foreign funds included the full $400,000 previously authorized Greece and Turkey against Communism; $332,000,000 for foreign relief; $550,000,000 to pay costs of the army's relief-govern- ment occupation program in Ger- many, Korea and Japan; and $71,- 024,000 for the United States share in the International Refugees Or. ganization. Consideration of the omnibus aid measure came in the midst of sev- eral developments bearing directly on the administration's present for- eign policy program and upon future diplomatic moves in which Congress will have a powerful voice. There was an assertion by chair. man Charles A. Eaton (Rep.-N.J.) of the House foreign affairs commit. tee that "we are in sight of a shoot- ing war at this minute" in Greece. Guns Boom In Quebec By-Election Huntington, Que., July 19 -- (CP)--Premier Maurice Duples- sis, appealing for cooperation of all racial groups, creeds and ton. gues, told a Union Nationale ral- ly here last night that his party was born of the desire of men of goodwill to put aside petty party politics and colors to work in uni- on to make Quebec the greatest, richest and most prosperous pro. vince in Canada. Speaking in favor of John G. Rennie, government candidate in the July 23 Huntingdon provin- cial by-election, the Premier held up his Cabinet as an example of the unity of the men now form. ing the Union Nationale party. Three ministers, he said, were former Liberal Chieftains, while two others are ardent National- ists with two more members be- ing former Conservative leaders. "When 'the Union. Nationale was born it was the first time in the history of Canada that men of all parties joined up together to work for the benefit of the province," he declared, Naval Officer (Continued from Page 1.) His "success" dtory would not have been possible had it not been for the years of training before the war.

' Eugene W. Coughlin of Washing- ton, assistant chairman of the car service division of the Association of American Railroads, said in an interview here that the boxcar situ- ation is "very tight." He sald ap- proximately 450 elevators, mainly in Kansas and Oklahoma, have shut down either partially or entirely jf | during the past week due to a lack of cars.

A name tag found beside -her broken body indicating she came from St. Louis, Mo., also bore names of relatives in that city, who are now on their way here for the in- quest Monday, : Investigators revealed today the woman had not returned to her lodging the night preceding her death. James Moody, engineer of the train that struck her, said he saw one or two people walking along the track, dimly outlined in the beam of the train's searchlight cutting through the rain. Then, he said, the woman was either pushed or hurled herself in front of the train. "I didn't have a chance in the world of stopping." 3 lx No one here could explain why Clara Meyer recently came to this Northern Ontario Town to work as a linotype operator at a local news. paper. She kept to herself and made few friends. "She seemed to be happy here," said her employer, F. W, Rickaby. "She was always talking about how, nice the people were in Bruce Mines." Alaska Highway Not Open To General Tourist Travel o- hg Ottawa -- Travel over the 1,523 mile long Alaska Highway, while perfectly feasible for well-equipped travellers, is not as easy as some enthusiastic reports would suggest. Due to shortages of building ma- terials, available housing at the widely-spaced stop-over points is not sufficient to take care of any large volume of tourists. In this connection, Mr. R. A. Gib- son, Director of the Lands, Parks and Forest Branch of the Canadian Department of Mines and Resources which administers the highway, stated recently in Ottawa, "We are not yet in a position where ordinary tourist travel can be accommodated. It is difficult enough these days to provide accommodation at places more convenient of access and we do not wish to ve our visitors become dissatisfied through travel to remote areas where some enthusias- tic writer has presented an attrac- tive picture but fails to mention the temporary drawbacks." Must Obtain Travel Permits Contrary to wide-spread belief, the Alaska Highway is not yet open for general tourist travel. Travel permits must be obtained from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Edmonton or the commanding of- ficer of the Canadian Army unit that maintains the highway .from headquarters at Dawson Creek be- fore any journey is commenced. The regulations governing the is- suance of these permits state that they will be readilyl issued to pros- pectors and others who have actual business along the highway, or in Alaska, if they can show they are organized and able to supply them- selves with transportation, gas, oil and spare parts, and to undertake necessary vehicle repairs. Also 'eli- gible are organized parties of t. ers who have made prior arrdnge- ments and are accompanied | by qualified guides, providing their ve- hicles are '"roadworthy" and they comply otherwise with the travel regulations, To be certified "roadworthy" a vehicle must carry two spare tires and tubes; tube repair kit; tire chains, pump, gauge and jack; car tools; tow rope; axe, shovel and first aid kit. For the present, the follow- ing spare parts must also be carried; spark plugs; fan belt; distributor coil and points; light fuses; con. denser; fuel pump kit; brake fluid; axle; generator brushes and clutch parts. ' ; Not Open to Holidayers The travel permit regulations further state that, "It is regretted that for the present it will not be possible to issue permits to those who wish to travel on the highway for a holiday." The sole reason for this restriction is the lack of suitable accommodation at overnight stop- ping places, which are sometimes 200 miles apart. Building is being hurried all along the route, but the present shortage of materials makes it impossible to provide adequate housing for this year. It is possible, however, to holiday on the Alaska Highway by utilizing the bus service which operates three times weekly between Dawson Creek and Whitehorse and between White. horse and Fairbanks, Alaska. Bus travellers do not require permits and are accommodated overnight at lodges opérated by the bus com- panies. The round trip takes 22 or 28 days, depending upon whether the return is made by air or by bus and rail. Full information on. these conducted tours may be ob- tained from the British Yukon Navigation Company and O,Hara Bus Lines at Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The Alaska Highway, with a gravelled surface, runs from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Fair- banks, Alaska, the great part of it through wild, virgin country, Every effort is being made to develop the route and adjacent lands into a popular and easily accessible vaca- tion district. But for the present, as D. Leo Dolan, Director of the Can- adian Government Travel Bureau, points out, "It should be made plain that travel on the Alaska Highway is not yet the same as tourist travel on other highways in Canada." Capital Closeups By DOUGLAS HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, July 19 -- (CP) -- The honorable ancestry of mysteriously- miscellaneous Chihese families having been financially satisfied, Canada's ambassador to China is finally settled in the home he took with him: Reports reaching an amused and admiring External Affairs Depart- ment here have been told the last chapter in the epic tale of how Saskatchewan's Mr. Justice T. C. (Tommy) Davis finally planted his prefabricated embassy in a Nan- king cemetery and made it stick. In the relatively brief story of Canadian diplomacy, there is noth- ing else quite like it. The first chapters regeived con- siderable publicity six months ago when, faced with a Chinese hous- ing shortage--diplomatic channels indicate that remote areas of Tibet and darker Africa alone have es- caped the earthly fad of not hav- ing enough roofs to go around-- and with a whopping Chinese in- flation, he decided to take his own prefabricated home along with him. By devious cargoes, it eventually reached Nanking. Land had been purchased for its arrival, But here entered the clutch of Chinese His- tory. The land turned out to have once been a cemetery. The excava- ions in preparation for the arrival ad unearthed skeletons. The mysteries of 'the Orient fell upon the judge from Saskatche- wan. As a good jurist, he could only respect the Chinese law which decrees that if a family can prove a skeleton was one of its ancestors it has to be paid for removal of said skeleton. In Chinese currency, this was big business but in Canadian money the cost figured out to be a few dollars. So unwary embassy offi- cials started paying off without any strict rules. The gossip flew. Funerals began to tun in the direction of the em- bassy during the night and fresh graves would be found almost every morning. The payments went on. But finally, a lesson in tactics learned, the Canadians . built a fence around their property. At night, guards were posted around it. And now there are no skeletons, not even new ones, in the closet of Canadian diplomacy. As a final aside, it may be said that External Affairs Minister St. Laurent has disclosed that the to- tal cost for the embassy was $145,- 000, including $63,000 for that bone-ridden land. Nazi Death Camp Is Investigated Hamburg, July 19 -- (Reuters) -- A Nazi "death camp," at Nordmark, near Kiel, where corpses of women and children have been found, is being investigated by British mili- tary authorities, the German News Service in the British zone stated. Medical opinion is that women and children whose bodies were found had been shot. Germans and foreigners of 12 countries were sent to this camp for political reasons or for having violated the Nazi labor rules, Girl Pickets Chain Selves Together at Bank Entrance New York, July 19--(AP) -- Officials of the Brooklyn Trust Company said today they contem- templated no action against three young women wlio chained them. selves to the main entrance of the bank building yesterday in the first union strike against a major bank in American history. The three young women, pick- ets in the 'strike by members of the Financial 'Employes Guild (C 10) handcuffed themselves to gach other and to-the two side- posts of the bank's front door. For 15 minutes, while bank guards worked feverishly with hacksaws the bank's customers squirmed through the human chain, Outsice, 100 placard-bear- ing pickets, representing a local of the Guild, an affiliate of the United Office and Professional Workers of America, shouted: "Don't hurt these girls." Meanwhile, union spokesmen notified police there would not be any picketing at the bank's main or branch offices over. the week- end, "he bank has officially refused to recognize the existence of a strike, A union spokesman said, how- ever, that 400 of the bank's 700 employees had joined the walk- out and that 18 of the company's 24 branches were "not operating effectively." ; There have been two incidents of violence since union employees went on strike Thursday and po- lice commissioner Arthur W. Wallander said he was investigats ing charges of police brutality, Guild members seek reinstate. ment of three dischargad employ- ees, job security, raises of $10 or 30 per cent a week, whichever is greater, and other benefits. The union said a majority of the bank's employees "now take home | lesg than $35 a week." Fear Safety Of Relatives In Russia Worcester, Mass, July 10--(AP) --~Relatives expressed fear today that publicity concerning reports that three former Worcester women and their children were held pri- soners in Russia might lead to their deaths, : The three are Mrs. Vadermaras Carneckis, wife of 4 former Lithuan- ian premier; Mrs. Stanley Kairuks- tis, wife of a former Lithuanian minister of education, and Mrs. Isa- bel Gustainis, wife of a former Lith- uanian newspaper man. Mrs. Mae Aldrich, a sister of Mrs. Carneckis, said she was "afraid of what all this publicity will do." "Maybe the Russians will murder them dll--the whole famiy," she said in expressing her alarm. "Af- ter all, what would prevent them from saying they died during the war, Perhaps they may be already dead." Relatives confirmed reports that all disappeared at about the time the Russians overran Lithuania in 1940, At least two--Mrs. Carneckis and Mrs. Kairukstis -- have been heard from directy or indirectly since they were supposedly impri- soned in Siberia. The United States State Depart- ment disclosed that it had made re- presentations to the Soviet govern- ment in behalf of Mrs. Carneckis and her five children, without suc- cess. No Election In P.E.I. Seen Until 1948 Charlottetown, July 19--(CP) --A statement by Premier J. Walter Jones that he could not understand "why the Liberals are in such a hurry" today set at rest prevalent rumors that Prince Ed- ward Island's Liberal government was contemplating a general elec- tion this year. Commenting last night on the the 2nd district of Prince, Mr. Jones said they had not consulted him about the convention 'or I would have told them that this time net year is plenty of time for them to begin holding con- vention." The recurring rumors of an im- pending election have set both older parties nominating candi- dates in the Island's 15 electoral districts while the C.C.F, has no- minated men in several ridings. The Liberals have nominated candidates in two districts while the Progressive Conservatives have completed their slate. Mr. Jones' statement last night was the first official indication the the provincial government, elected in 1943, epects to wait another year before appealing to the electorate. Present standing in the 30- seat Legislateure, which consists of 15 assemblymen for whom both property holders and non- property holders can vote and 15 councillors for whom only prop- erty holders can vote is, Liberals 20, Progressive Conservatives 10. Newspaper Strike Ends in Sydney Sydney, Australia, July 19--(Reu- ters)--Sydney's 48-hour-old news- paper strike ended today when workers from the city's two even- ing newspapers returned to work. The dispute began Thursday when employees of the Sydney Sun de- manded. full pay, instead of the usual compensation rate, for six men out of work through illness. Employees of the Sydney Daily Mirror were drawn into the dispute yesterday when sub-editors refus- ed to handle copy from the Sun's reporters.

Washington's new policy for economic rehabilitation of war- ravaged Germany is being wel- comed by her leaders, who inter< pret it as a step toward readmit- ting the country to world economy and saving the German people from idleness. And well they may rejoice. This is a wholly unexpected visitation of good fortune and one to which they are not entitled, for they have sin- ned greatly, and probably thought they had Peen sentenced to econ- omic and political death. Many of t have been in a state of des- and I use that word deliber- ately because it connotes utter hopelessness. The springs of compassion be- come sluggish when the question of easement for Germany arises, If you should suggest that all Prus- sians be put in solitary confine- ment for life, thereby exterminat- ing the race, I wouldn't raise a lit- tle finger in opposition, for I have seen .those Huns in operation at close range in two wars now. They are no good. However, the rank and file of Germans, whose blood does not car- ry the Prussian poison, are needed for reconstruction of shattered Eur- ope. So we can forget the question of compassion (well, maybe we can refhember a bit) and say with sim- ple sincerity that we are going to put Germany on her feet because that is for the good of the world as a whole. The well-being of Germany is the well-being of Europe. Ger- many is the economic heart of the continent, a fact which isn't altered because the heart is badly damaged. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American zone ccmmander, told a press con- ference in Berlin that European re- covery couldn't be attained without the revival of German industry. He added that he would be very interested in any proposals for American and British big business men to underwrite Western Ger- many's industrial recovery. Why Western Germany? Because East ern Germany is under control of Prevent, Not Cure, Plant Diseases There is no such thing as a cure for disease of field crops, so we must rely entirely on prevention, said Dr. J. H. Craigie, Dominion Botanist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in an address to the recent annual convention, Cana- dian Seed Growers' Association held at Macdonald College, Que. Preventive measures must be taken, not only against diseases that are now causing damage in this coun- try, but against others to keep them from entering Canada, he said. The cheapest and most effective method of disease prevention is growing varieties that are resistant to disease. Plant breeders have made considerable progress in pro- ducing disease-resistant varieties of some crops; but it is a complicated task, requiring the co-operation of plant breeders, plant pathologists and others with specialized train- ing. + 3 "Where we have no disease-re- sistant varieties of a crop, disease- free seed should be used. Any seed stock qualifying for one of the higher classes -- Foundation, Elite and registered -- should not be a source of disease. When disease does appear, preventive measures should be taken immediately. Such meas- ures include sanitation, rotation and Isolation," said Dr. Craigie. the Russians who have refused to co-operate with their allies in economic rehabilitation. A striking example of the Soviet attitude was furnished yesterday during a meeting of the Allied Con- trol authority in Berlin. The Rus- sians asked that German steel plants capable of producing 13,000,~ 000 tong annually be allocated jm- mediately for reparations. The United States and British rep- resentatives refused to discuss the matter, since they held that the de- mand could be met only by strip- ping the great industrial area of the Ruhr, The Russians claim that the steel capacity in question is "excess." A German view, of the American program comes from Dr. Hans Ehard, Minister-President of Ba- varia, who says: "If the Germans are given more liberty, if they can dispose of their own raw materials and if the dis- mantling of our factories is stopped, I am convinced that better food and economic conditions for Ger- many can be attained before win- ter." That is an important forecast, i light of the continuing deteriora- tion of the general economic situa- tion in Europe. The American proposal to put Western Germany on its feet econ- omically doesn't mean that we are cutting the Germans loose before they have " purged themselves of war-guilt. It means that they will be set to work under military con- trol, and will be provided the fac- ilities for increased production. There has been no indication that the Allies have the slightest inten- tion of withdrawing their troops from Germany before the task of Teutonic reform is finished, The way things now look it will be nec- essary to maintain forces in the Reich for at least a generation. That means an allied military con- trol will see to it that the economic recovery doesn't involve the crea- tion of a new German war poten- tial, [.. ©) We'll Raise You This isn't poker or a.gamble ...it's a sure thing and we will raise you to $5, and back it up with a guarantee to pay. ou won't believe it until we explain it to you. f you have a boy or girl under 12 and give them a Junior Estate policy, each $1,000 of in- surance changes to $5,000 at age 21...at no increase in pre- mium.
