Similar charges against two associates were dismissed after they pledded innocent. . Provincial Constable D, G. Camp- bell told the court Mathieson was found to be driver of a car involved in an accident May 17 four miles west of Kingston. The vehicle had been stolen from Joseph Luke of Whitby who identified the accused in a Kingston police line up. Dismissed because prosecution evidence was lacking were Girswold Brennan and Roy Morrison, both of Toronto. Eye Doctors (Continued from Page 1) which is the method of some opti- cians in obtaining the business of individual eye doctors. What he did do, in finding that a combine existed among optical goods firms, was to note that it shed a light on the rigidity of the optical goods price structure. "Even when the optician's return is reduced by the payment of a rebate," he said, "the individual consumer would not benefit unless the doctor passed on part or all of the rebate. This is done by some . . "Unless the reductions in price represented by rebates are made directly available to the comsumer in the form of lower prices, elimi- 'nation of the practice would be of no material benefit to the general public, and would in fact deprive some consumers of benefits which they now secure indirectly." These benefits apparently are the cancellation of patients' bills by some doctors after they received their rebates, \ Escape Is Foiled | As Armed Convict| Finds Gun Useless Toronto, June 2 -- (CP)--David Nolan, a convicted holdup man, was foiled in a bid to escape from a train on which he was being taken to Kingston Penitentiary last Sat- urday, police disclosed today. -Nolan produced a gun in a train washroom after feigning illness, police said. le pointed it at his guards and pulled the trigger but the weapon did not discharge. The gun apparently was hidden in the washroom for Nolan by a "mysterious stranger" seen on the train earlier, police said. The prisoner was overpowered by escorting policemen and the trip to Kingston was completed without further incident. Nolan had been shackled hand and fooj to another prisoner but was released to go into the wash- room after complaining that he was ill. Police said the weapon was load- ew but there was no shell in the breach when he fired. Nolan, 32, of Hamilton, was sen- tenced last March 16 to 15 years for armed robbery of the Coxwell Inn on east-end Danforth Avenue | Feb. 9. Police said he was released from | penitentiary shortly before the | holdup. He had served most of a| 10-year term for the attempted | holdup of a Hamilton bank. | At his trial, Nolan read a long | prepared statement which said his | criminal actions were * prompted | solely by his desire to get money for an education. Accused Driver Gets Benefit of Doubt | Charged with careless driving, May 24, when the car he was driv- ing north on Mary Street smashed through a telephone pole, sideswip- ed two trees, swerved through the Brock Street intersection and stopped against a store, Maurice Kane, 548 Masson Street, appeared in police court here today and pleaded innocent. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs dismissed the charge, saying accused was being given the benefit of the doubt. Evidence given by Constable Charles Stainton, who investigated the accident, was that Kane's auto had gone over a bump just north of Colborne Street," went out of con- trol and jumped the east curb where it collided with the three solid ob- jects, snapping off the pole near its base. The officer said he: calculated the distance the car travelled while out of control as 310 feet. | Kane was treated at Oshawa Gen- | eral Hospital for minor head injur- | ies sustained when his head struck | the windshield as he was hurled | across the front seat. A passenger, | Joseph Morrow, 616 Simcoe Street North, was unhurt when he fell from the car during its rampage. Kane and Morrow told the court a squirrel had hopped out in front of the car and the driver had swerv- ed to miss it. As he did so the car | went out of control, both witnesses | testified, and Kane's foot pressed | the accelerator, In dismissing the charge, Worship pointed out the sounded very unlikely but (have happened.

Labor department officials said today the boards would go right to work at trying to get the disputants together on a compromise that would avert a paralyzing strike of rail transport across the nation. In announcing the set-up of the boards Tuesday, the department took the last step left to the gov- ernment. Earlier, conciliation boards had failed to reach a medium on which the unions and companies could agree. In the latest move, the govern- ment reconstituted as mediation boards the two conciliation boards that had acted earlier. Both are headed by Mr. Justice J. C. A. Cam- eron of the Exchequer Court of Canada. . After the conciliation investiga- tion, the boards recommended an increase of seven cents an hour, against the 35 asked by the em- the market and by agr t to set wholesale prices for other lenses at higher levels.

Optical Combines (Continued from Page 1) were based on an investigation | opened riefly in 1940 and then de- ferred until 1946 because of court actions, It covered the period be- tween 1939 and 1947. However, the commissioner said that -- despite some 1947 modifi- cations in licence controls last year tition, he said is still "minimized." The giant of the Canadian ring, he found, was the American Opti- cal Company of Southbridge, Mass.

The Jewish cease-fire order was timed to take effect with the dead- | day were unchanged with the fol- | line set by the U.N, Security Coun- cil for replies to its armistice plea. Both sides attached strings to their acceptances of the council's plea, Shertok said the Israeli cease-fire | was based on five assumptions of the meaning of the U.N. appeal. One assumption was that free im- migration into Israel would be al- lowed during the truce. Prime Minister Mahmoud Fahmy | Nokrashy Pasha of Egypt said in Cairo last night, "I believe such a condition can not be accepted." ~ He made this statement in talk- ing about a unanimous decision of the Arab League political committee | to accept the U.N. peace plan of the league countries, Egypt, Trans- Jordan, Iraq, Syria .and Lebanon have sent troops into Palestine. Other Jewish assumptions con- | cerned a ban on import of arms to the Arab states, a stand-fast order to all forces, freedom of access to | Jerusalem for food and essentials, and free transport of goods for Israel. On the day the agreements came, | Israel made its first air raid on Amman, Trans-Jordan capital and centre of Arab military planning, and fought with the Egyptians only about 14 miles from Tel Aviv. In Jerusalem, the Trans-Jordan Arab Legion and Iraqui forces were besieging 80,000 to 90,000 Jews in the new city. Within 15 miles to the west, Jewish fighters strove to break through.at Latrun and Bab El Wad Gorge so as to open the road from Tel Aviv. ° Before the announcement today of the Egyptian attacks, the Jewish chief of operations said the cease- | fire came at a difficult time, when the Israeli army had just mounted | two offensives in the north against | the Arab triangle and had gone i over into the offensive in the south against the Egyptians. y The Arabs have said their troops in thid triangle, midway between Nazareth and Jerusalem, were aimed at Tel Aviv, Other new offensive operations scheduled for Tuesday night were called off barely in time, the spokes- man said, and added that it was difficult to do so without damaging the Israeli position. While firemen were responding to a false alarm on Summer Street yes- terday afternoon, another call came from the residence of D. McKelvie 58 Centre Street, where a woodpile |in the back yard was in danger of being consumed by fire. Resulting | damage was trivial.

Since then, strike votes have been ordered among the 112,000 mem- bers of the 18 international unions involved and the 30,000-man Cana- dian Brotherhood of Railway Em- ployees and other transport work- ers (C.C.L.). The C.B.R.E. members have voted for a strike; the vote of the other unions is due to be finished by June 21.

He told - the chamber "every reason" to believe that the savings from the removal of the eight-per-cent sales tax on foods will be passed on to the consumers. But he turned down suggestions that the government "police" retail merchants to make sure they adjust their prices to meet the tax reduc- tion. He agreed, however, to consider opposition suggestions that the sales tax be lifted from hearing aids and- other equipment used by those who are incapacitated. Tax to Continue He felt that the excise tax ap- plying on silverware could be continued year, Mr. Abbott indicated he might remove the 25-per-cent excise tax from 35 millimetre still-picture pro- Jectors used by church and edu- cational groups if this can be done without affecting 35 mm. projec- tors used for rgeular motion pic- for: another tures.

The suggestion for this step came | from Rodney Adamson (PC-York West), who said many still-picture projectors in that size were used in visual education classes. The minister told Stanley Knowl- es (CCF-Winnipeg North Centre) that between 80,000 and 100,000 persons would benefit from the provision for a $500 income exemp- tion for persons over 65. Douglas Ross (PC-Toronto St. Paul's), wanted the tax removed from candy and soft drinks but Mr, Abbott said more than children paid those levies. "Everyone who has a scotch and soda contributes to the tax," he said. W. Chester 8. McLure (PC- Queens) urged that either the sales Contact Lenses Require Liquid If you are thinking of solving your problem of visual correction with contact lenses frameless lenses of plastic which fit over the eyeball and under the eyelid--here are some facts which may prove enlightening. Contact lenses probably do their mbst 'important service for people who for professional or other rea- sons object to wearing regular specs. Actors, actresses and glamor girls are among the users of con- tact lenses. So are participants in active sports whose skill in a game is apt to be handicapped by the use of framed eyegasses. Contact lenses require the use of a liquid made of a solution com- parable to tear drops. This must be used to prevent pressure against th: eyeballs and to prevent cloud- ing of lenses. To remove contact lenses, either for the purpose of renewing the liquid or to give the eyes a rest,t the use of a suction gadget is necessary. Lenses may be inserted under the eyelids, however, with only the aid of the fingers. Some - people can wear contact lenses as long as 12 hours with no visual fatigue; others need to re- move these aids after two hours of use. Contact lenses are much more expensive than ordinary eyeglasses. Gordon In After Realtor Toronto, June 2 -- (CP) -- An; | inquest into the death of Mrs, Jane | Gordon was adjourned Tuesday | night until Thursday after a mar- | ried man told of having an affair with her but denied responsibility for her condition. An autopsy earl- ier showed death due to an illegal | operation, t The 28-year-old estranged wife | of a Toronto doctor was found dead last April 9 on a lonely side road in suburban North York Townshin. But Tuesday night's four-hour hear- ing ended without establishing how | she came to be there. John S. Glover, rangy, good- | looking real estate salesman, testi- | fied that he started taking Mrs. Gordon out in February and that late in March she told him she was expecting and that he was respon- sible, He said he loaned her $500. "I told her that I couldn't be re- sponsible," Glover testified. "You say you werent responsible for her condition and yet you loaned her $500," said Jury Foreman | Raymond Digman. "Why?" "Because I was very friendly with her.' Glover said Mrs. Gordon men- tioned the possibility of going to Montreal or Buffalo. He repeated he did not know why she wanted the $500. | Glover said that on the morning | of April 8 Mrs. Gordon asked him | quest Adjourned Testifies to drive her to North Toronto." He let her out of the car, waited long enough to smoke a cigaret and then drove back to his office He said that was the last time he saw her. Glover said he tried to reach Mrs, Gordon by telephone that after- | noon. "At 1.30 there was no answer. I | called at two and got a busy signal. I got another busy signal around four and I had tried seven or eight times between then. I think Mrs. Gordon was at home. "The next thing I knew, about five o'clock in the morning, five or six detectives called at my house." Glover had said earlier Mrs, Gor= don had mentioned three doctors, "A Dr. Watson definitely was one." William Thcburn, wo described himself as a real estate man and a friend of Glover, said that on learn- ing of Mrs. Gordon's death Glover | telephoned him and asked him to meet Om in a restaurant. "He (Glover) said he'd been try ing to get her (Mrs. Gordon) on the phone the day before and that she had gone to the doctor." "Did you know what doctor?" "I understand it was Dr. Wat- son." "How?"
