N » THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Identification Bureau M Plunge of Vampire Jet Sets Up Establishment Of New RCAF Branch ' Toronto, July 8 (CP).--The many facets of airplane crashes will be explored by an identification laboratory just set up at the R.C.A.F. Institute of Aviation Medicine here. Inspiration for its establishment came from a piece of kapok-like material dre..ged up in the search for wreckage of 'a Vampire Jet aircraft which® recently plunged into Lake On- lario near Bowmanville. Peter Dale, of Vancouver, a med- lal student at McGill University, might well be called the father of the identificataion bureau idea. ..Dale's examination of the ma- terial from the plane established that it came from the air frame, not- from the parachute back-pack fs was suspected. Had the material been from the back-pack, it would have indicated the presence of the pilot in the aircraft at the time of the crash. Although the examination proved nothing definite in the - foregoing case, the possibilities of achieving positive results in future investiga- tions led Dale to ask permission of "the institute's commanding of- ficer, Wing Cmdr. B. R. Brown, to set-up an identification laboratory. This was granted and, with the as- sistance of the RCMP. and the Provincial Police laboratories, one has been established. A University of Toronto student, Norman Law, is attempting to de- velop a' practical method of using liquid oxygen to overcome the ef- fects of rapid gecompression in pressurized aircraft. hould a hatch or astrodome out--as has sometimes hap- pened--on a pressurized aircraft flying at 30,000 to 40,000 feet, the occupants would have only 37 sec- onds of "useful consciousness" be- fore they lost consciousness from lack of oxygen.

That move was the Dominions formal rejection of the request of ven provinces for a stay in freight-rate increases and the ap- pointment of a Royal Commission on railways. More than two months after the request 'was made, the Dominhion's decision was announced Wednesday im Edmonton by Premier Manning Alberta. He had been advised pf it in a letter from Prime Min- ister - Mackenzie King. "CEarlier, Mr. Manning had indi- pated the seven provinces--all but Ontario and Quebec--were boycot- jing the Government's inquiry they received a clear-cut an- to their demand for a Royal Bmmission. * * He said Wednesday he plans to onfer with the other six govern- ments on future plans. Should the provinces decide to e a hand in the investigation as ed by the Federal Govern- ment, it was expected their first move would be to file briefs with the Board of Transport Commis- sioners. The Board has been ordered by the Cabinet to inquire into the whole freight-rate structure of the Dominion, with a view to levelling off rate inequalities in various re- gions. It had set a June 19 dead- line for the reception of provincial submissions, but the provinces ignored this pending a direcct an- swer to their Royal Commission re- quest. Meanwhile, the board was going ahead with preliminary studies in connection with its inquiry. One of ts moves has been the ordering of a survey designed to show existing trends in freight movement in various parts of the country, To prepare for further action against the government's decision, Premier Macdonald of Nova Scotia Wednesday night proposed another conference of the seven protesting provinces. He said the matter could not be left as it was and that if the pre- miers could not meet together, the conference would be held by tele- phone or telegraph.

The Bank of Canada, making the announcement for Finance Minister Abbott, said "the decision i8 based mainly on the widespread demand" that greeted the first two issues-- 2,100,000 applications worth $818;- 000,000. They followed nine wartime Victory Loans. The statement said preparations for the issue were launched here this week. Terms would not be fi- nally established until later, probab- ly in September, but "It is expected that the bonds will retain the fea- tures which proved so popular in the first two series," the first in 1946. Their interest was 2% per cent, It was believed "that a savings in- strurhent with the features of Can- ada Savings Bonds would serve a useful purpose by giving further stimulus to the savings tendency de- veloped by Canadians during and since the war. Present holdings have already rendered more than 1,000,- 000 Canadians better able to meet personal emergencies or to carry out future plans. Such individual and family resources are an element of strength and stability in the na- tion." As in the past, the new security will be available for cash or through various methods of instalment pur- chase, including the payroll savings plan, under which bonds purchased in quantities may be paid for through deductions from pay over a 12 month period. To organize and direct this fea- ture of the new series six regional payroll savings directors have been appointed, Director for Ontario is J. H. Ratcliffe, Toronto. Wheat Pact Disinterest Jolts Canada Ottawa, July 8--(CP)--Canada's desire for greater multilateral trade today received a sharp jolt with the expectancy that Australia will short. ly announce her withdrawal from the international wheat pact. A high government official said the Dominion for years had been striving for an expansion of her in- ternational trade in order to absorb a greater variety. of production from as many countriés as possible. It had considered the wheat agreement a great step in that direction. Australia's withdrawa] from the 36-nation agreement was believed a result of the lack of interest on the part of the United States, one of the three producing countries in the pact. While Australia and Canada, the other two producing countries, had ratified the pact, the United States Congress recently adjourned with- out ratifying the trade agreement. It was to have gone into effect this month with deliveries to begin early in August when the price of Canadian wheat will increase to $2 a bushel. The government spokesman said there would be nothing left for Can. ada to do but to withdraw. However, Canada would not make an official announcement. but merely let the agreement lapse because of -lack of official recognition in that it may be revived later. While' a disappoiritment to Can- ada's international trade ambitions, the pact break-up would not mean any hardship to Canadian farmers, the official said. The United King- dom had indicated she would be more than pleased to take all the wheat Canada can supply: Broker Collects 20-Year Old Debt Montreal, July 8 -- (CP) -- The court of appeals ruled yesterday that David O. Johnson, Brantford, . | stock broker, is entitled to recover a debt on brokerage transactions which took place almost 20 years ago. . The court, upholding a decision of the Superior Court, said Johnson was entitled to recover the debt from Thain W. MacDowel] of Mon- treal although action for recovery was instituted seven years after the transactions ended in 1929. MacDowell claimed that the ac- tion taken by the broker in 1936 was too late because it was taken be- yond. the time limit set both by On. tario law where the transactions oc- curred and by the law of Quebec where the customer lived.

(In Washington, the United States State Department also rejected Po- land's protest against a plan to set up a separate government in West- ern Germany. In its note, the De- partment suggested that Poland complain to the Russians about the division of Europe and Germany.) "Since the Polish government is understood to support the policy of the Soviet Government towards Ger- many, the British Government do not understand on what grounds the Polish Government base their 'argument," the British note states. It was sent in reply to a Polish note of June 18, the Foreign office disclosed Wednesday night. The British note said Britain de- plores four-power disagreement as mucih as Poland does. Britain, the United States and France had re- peatedly sought such agreement. "The lack of success which has so far attended these efforts is to be attributed solely to the government of the Soviet Union, who, actuated by mctives which can only seriously interfere with the peaceful and de- mocratic reconstruction in Europe, including Poland, have consistently prevented agreement." Butter Output Reaches Peak, Report Shows Toronto, July 8--(CP)--Butter production for 1948 in Ontario reached the peak, as in other years, during the third week in June, says C. E. Lackner, Director of Dairy- ing for Ontario, in his monthly summary of creamery instructors' reports. Production held fairly steady for the -first half 'of the month, but with warmer weather during the latter part, a decline was indicated. Production for the month of June was about equal to that of June of last year. The rains towards the end of the month had the effect of rejuvenating pastures, and this should aid in reducing the seasonal decline in production. While butter fat prices declined sharply at the beginning of the month, says Mr. Lackner, they rose again to the ceiling before the end when it became evident that pro- duction did not indicate an ample supply for winter use. Many were buying butter for the protection of their trade during the winter. NO FALL SESSION Toronto, July 8 -- (CP) -- Acting Premier in the absence of Premier Drew, who is returning to Canada from England, Col. T. L.

Second Reading Given U.K. Nationality Bill By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, July 8--(CP)--The House of Commons Wednesday night gave a divisionless second reading to the British Nationality Bill but it was apparent the government would press, in committee stage, for dele- tion of the House of Lords' amend- ments fo the bill. Lord Hinchingbrooke, a Conserva- tive, said the bill was wanted by "no- body but the Liberal Government of Canada." The bill, in its original form, pro- vided for creation of "citizens of the United Kingdom and the colonies." The Lords changed this to read "British suojects of the United Kingdom and the colonies," al- though Viscount Jowitt, government leader in the Lords, said it was de- sired to have "British subject" used to all in the Commonwealth and not apply the term to citizens of a particular country. In the Commons, Home Secretary Chuter Ede, criticizing the Lords amendment while moving the se- cond reading, said it was intend- ed that each self-governing country in the Commonwealth should have its own legislation to determine citizenship as done by the Can- adian Citizenship Act of 1945. A Dominion would then declare its citizens were British subjects and would recognize citizens of other Commonwealth countries as British subjects also. The change made by the Lords "wrecked the bill" which was drafted so that "our fellows in the Dominions can understand and can realize that we are, in fact, recognizing equality of status of the Dominions," the Home Secretary said. It would be contrary scheme that any country should create British subjects "without passing them Hough the gateway ship." to: the the use of "ComMmonwealth citi- zens" as an alternative to "British subject." "British. subject" was an honored title but people not of British de- scent felt it hard to reconcile it with their sovereign powers within the Commonwealth, he said. Osbert Peake, Conservative mem- ber for Leeds North, said that Eire had introduced its own nationality code in 1935 and "therefore the Canadian Act of 1945 cannot be the compelling reason for introduction of the Nationality Bill at the pres ent time." : He said the opposition wanted assurance that the government had made representation to the Can- adian Government before the Can- adian bill was passed pointing out the "serious implications of depart ure from the common code of na= tionality within the Common- wealth." In 1945, Canada established an entirely new principle in passing a Canadian Citizenship Act. The Canadian Citizenship Bill established a citizenship for Canada and declared that Canadian citi~ zens should be British subjects. As a result the acquisition of na- tionality by descent differed in Bris tain and Canada. "It is undesirable that there should be people in the world whom British law may regard as British subjects but Canadian law may not regard as British subjects. It is highly desirable that we should if possible reach an agreement with all the countries of the Common- wealth by which the wide family of British subjects should be compos- ed of persons who can easily be re- cognized as such." Canada, Ede sald, was the first country to so legislate, but other Dominions contemplated parallel legislation. FARMER, STOCK FOUND DEAD Shelburne, Ont., July 8--(CP)-- Body of John Theaker, 40-year-old North Amaranth Township farmer, was found Wednesday in the kit chen of his home.
