THURSDAY, "DECEMBER 23, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE AS PAGE NINE Australia Demands That Holland Be Expelled Americans Order Invaders To Move Out Of Indonesia Paris, Dec. 23 (AP)--Australia demanded today that Holland be expelled from the United Nations unless she halts her attack on the Indonesian Republic. " - -- From U. ® L 4 Col. W. R. Hodgson of Australia® told the U.N. Security Council the Dutch assault on the Indonesians was "the first clear-cut deliberate violation of the U.N. charter by a member." He called the council's attention to article 25 of the charter which says "memkt:rs of the United Na- tions agree to accept and carry out Hie Secisions of the Security Coun- Dr. C. L.

N¥ssup of the United States Wednesday. The American resolution calls for an immediate halt to the fighting and orders the Dutch forces to withdraw to positions occupied be- fore they began their so-called "police action" against Indonesia. Colombia and Syria joined in supporting the American proposal Wednesday, so China's decision brought to four the number of members certain to support the resolution. Hodgso : joined the Chinese dele- gate in saying' The Netherlands clearly had broken the Security Council's cease-fire order of Aug. 1, 1947. He said they also had viol- ated a "solemn undertaking" to ob- serve that council resolution "as well as later resolutions on the same subject. Hodgson said that the Security Council's commission in Indonesia had reported The Netherlands noti- fied the Republican truce delega- 'tion of their repudiation of the "truce only 15 minutes before they cut communications to the interior. "They then proceeded to arrest the very people that they had been negotiating with," he charged. The Australian, who is not a council member, then took up the statement made yesterday by Dutch delegate J. H. Van Royen. Van Royen said The Netherlands had only two alternatives--surren- der to the Republic--or their cur- rent "police action." "What an outrageous statement," Hodgson said. He added there was a third course--settlement by peace- ful arbitration. "That is the true alternative, but he (Van Royen) refused to men- tion it," Hodgson said. No Motive For Slaying Ottawa, Dec. 23--(CP)--Ontario provincial police--probing the mys- terious slaying of a Lithuanian dis- placed person--today hoped to have enough information before them to lead to an early solution of what so far appears to be a crime with- cat a motive. A post-mortem on the body of 36-year-old Napoleonas Jonusas will be performed this morning by Dr. M. O. Klotz, Civic Hospital path- ologist. . The body was brought to Ottawa from the farm of Mrs, Annie Baryluk, near Navan, Ont, where it was discovered Tuesday. Meanwhile bits of wood bearing { tiny blood spatters and glass bear- ing what appears to be fingerprints have been gathered for analysis by the R.C.M.P, Photographs of mark- ings on the floor will be studied in an effort to track down the slayer. Police say their best clue is the blood-smearéed hatchet believed to have been used as the murder weapon. Sgt. J. A. Stringer of the Ontario provincial police says he is becom- ing more and more convinced the combination machine-shed and granary where the body was found would prove to contain most of the answers to the mystery slaying. It ¢ has been sealed off from the public. Police still are not overlooking the possibility that Jonusas may have heen the victim of a quarrel among--a group of his countrymen. District residents told police they saw a man, answering Jonusas' de- scription, 'at various times in the company 'of other displaced persons in the district However, Mrs, Baryluk, his em- ployer, said Jonusas knew few peo- ple in the area. He had been em- ployed on her farm for only a week before the slaying took" place. C.N.

With Canada's Naturalists Written For the Canadian Press By PERCY GHENT 4 Ever go hunting polar bears in On'ario? Neither have we--but it can be done. ; In an interview, Clifford Hope, of the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology, told of an adventure with one of these huge animals. Mr. Hope headed an expedition of nat- uralists to Cape Henrietta Maria which looks out upon the icy water of Hudson's Bay at the northwest corner of James Bay, and is about 300 miles north of Moosonee. One August morning this sum- mer, a camera set-up arranged by Dalton ("Moose") Muir, was found to be wrecked. On the sea-ribbed sands nearby, the ponderous foot- prints of a polar bear were found. All seven men of the scientific party went into a huddle. Should there be another attack, they felt, things might be a trifle tough. for the nearest doctor was miles away at Moose Factory, and there was no way. of getting there. That is why a handsome polar bear pelt was brought back to Tor- onto many days later. This big fe- male of the species had drifted down from the Arctic on the ice, and when her chilly raft had near- ed the Cape she swam ashore. Named for the Queen of the un- happy Charles I, who lost his head in Cromwell's day, the Cape is a dreary region, said Mr. Hope. Con- stant winds swirl the prevailing fog into fantastic circles, and only when looking up into the ghostly tunnels can the sun be seen, filtering through their tops. Many seals and white whales were observed by the naturalists. A few dwarf willows and stunted spruces were the only trees grow- ing on that endless tundra. but wild flowers, many of them of great beauty were plentiful. And water- fowl were abundant, 23 species in all. There were tens of thousands of them, Mr. Hope said, and one spec- ies, the Sabine's Gull, had never been recorded in Ontario. From Moose Factory the party with their 12 tents went to the Cape by plane, and the expedition was a success beyond the brightest hopes. Antrostomus vociferus vociferus is the ponderous name scientific pre- cision selected for the species, but it is better known to ordinary folk as the whip-poor-will. This brown bird about 10 inches long and with a ~ving-spread some- times twice 10 inches, breeds all the way from Nova Scotia to the prair- jes, and at every evening time throughout that range. utters the call that gave it the ar name. So industrious is the p-poor-will in the destruction mosquitoes, grasshoppers, potato tles, ants and gnats, besides some of the larg- er months. that it has been dubbed the animated insect trap. Oddly enough, this bird of such great value to farmers is not popu- lar in some rural haunts, and for an absurd reason. Like the owls, the whip-poor-w'll flies silently and sound; its cry in the dusk or dark- ness, and because primitive man had a special dread of the evil that stalks in the night. the calls of the owl and the whip-poor-will have been, and by some folk still are, associated with or regarded as omens of evil. But this species is not only harmless, but definitely use- ful in nature's economy.

Mayan Skill Lingers In Ancient City Chichen Itza, Yucatan -- The flute-like chatter of tropical birds aroused us. For a moment we lay still in our thatched huts listening to a distant thud -- crunch -- thu: -- crunch! Native boys were crack- ing coconuts over by the Maya- land Lodge. We were to have coconut ice cream for lunch. Graglually we spotted our sum- mer 'suits in the corner and enough other things to convince ourselves that we had spent the night in the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza. Only a few days before, our party of newspapermen had been deep in the routine of covering news beats in cities throughout the United States. Then came 'an invitation from the City of New Orleans to help celebrate the opening of its International Trade Mart. A flight here to Yucatan was part of the program. In a tour of the Mayan ruins, several impressions linger in memory. . El Castillo Pyramid There was first the magnifi- cent pyramid of El Castillo, so- called because of the main temple of Kukulcan that tops the 100- foot structure. There are real- ly three pyramids in one--like a nest of tables. A trip up a wind- ing stairway into the inner temple disclosed Chac Mul, the Red Ti- ger. Chac his huge jade balls for eyes that sparkled under our flashlights. : The Temple of Warriors near- by offered an exquisite example of stone carving. Along the walls are numerous stone columns with carvings of warricrs in full rve- galia on each of the four sides. Not far distant is the Sacred Well where shcer walls drop down to a limpid reflecting pool. Here the Mayas are supposed to have sacrificed their fairest maidens during times of drought- to Yum Chac, the rain god. Buildings Restored One well-preserved ruin--ap- parently an observatory -- indi- cated some of their precise calcu- lations. Doors of the stone struc- ture are centred on the four car- dinal directions. Records show that the Mayans predicted eclipses of the sun with exactness. A valuable work has been done by the Carnegie Institute of Wash- ington in restoring Chichen Itza. Although the excavation is far from complete, many of the build- ings have been beautifully restored. Sentence Seamen To Two Months Owen Sound, Dec. 23 -- (CP) -- Three seamen, Melville Thompson, 25, of Owen Sound; David Lyle, 20, of Brantford, and Henry Trembley, 20, of Toronto, were given reforma- tory and jail sentences here Wed- nesday. Thompson was sentenced to two months in reformatory for persuad- ing seamen to desert their ship, the S. S. Norisle, at Tobermory on the tip of Bruce Peninsula last June 22. Lyle and Trembley each were sen- tenced to two months in jail for assault when they boarded the S.S. Manitoulin here June 21. Victims of the assault were two students, Robert Stephenson of Walkerton, and David Kincaid of Toronto who worked as waiters on the ship during the summer. Another charge against Lyle and Trembley--illegal boarding of the Manitoulin--was withdrawn. Crown Counsel C. C. Middlebro said the minimum penalty of six months was too severe. The charge was with- drawn "because of the youth of the pair," and because they had no previous 'ériminal records. INDIA AND MICA New Delhi--(CP) -- The govern- ment of India has appointed a committee to consider and report on the practibability of settingup a mica marketing control board in India. The committee is also to work out a detailed scheme for ef- fictent marketing of mica in for- eign countries.

DETROIT (Subject to change) Tickets and Information at : OSHAWA BUS TERMINAL PRINCE STREET Bad Weather Slows Action In China Nanking, Dec. 23 -- (AP) -- Bad weather slowed action on the great Chinese civil war front today. The quiet was taken in some quarters to mean that peace feelers had been put out to the Commu- nists by members of Premier Sun Fo's newly-formed cabinet. But there was no official word from any source. At least two of the cabinet min- isters, former Premier Chang Chun and Wong Wen-Hao, commander of the northwest headquarters, are known to favor a quick peace with the Reds, who have overrun almost half of China. Premier Sun described the cab- inet members as men who would "fight on until we can secure an honorable peace." This was widely taken to mean the government is warm to negotiations. with the Communists despite their insistence a peace can be achieved only if President Chiang Kai-Shek steps out. However, Chiang has not so much as hinted he will move aside. Dispatches from 'the ' Pengpu front northwest of Nanking mere- ly mentioned continued Red at- tacks "toward Pengpu," which pre- sumably still was in government hands. Some papers. even said Commu- nist units were retreating north- ward from the Pengpu front, but gave no details. The Kuomintang's Central Daily News carried a story attributed to Communist prisoners that one- eyed Gen. Liu Po-Cheng of the Communists had been killed in an air attack and his body taken to Suhsien. There was no confirma- tion, and government quarters ex- pressed skepticism. Historic Peiping was without running water. Communists be- sieging the city captured the water- works in the northeastern suburbs. The British consulate at Peiping arranged to take over the protec- tion of Danish, Norwegian and Swe- dish interests there. \ CANADA HAS WEALTH OF MINERALS Montreal -- As a mineral bearing country, Canada is hardly in the initial stage of development, M. W. Maxwell, chief of development, Canadian National Railways, re- cently" told the Phi Epsilon Alpha Society of McGill University during | a talk on "The Physical Back- ground of Canada's Economy." "The rather tiresome cliche that Canada's mineral areas have not. yetr been scratched is an under- statement," Mr. Maxwell said, add- ing: "Th fact is that much of her mineral-bearing country = hasn't even been walked over, let alone scratched." The Canada railways, he said are still leading the way in Canada's development by fur- nishing the lowest cost rail trans- portation offered any country in the world.

Galloo Island Life Saving Post To Stay Point Traverse--The Galloo Is- land life saving station, nine miles from. the Main Ducks Island, has closed for the winter only, and will not close permanently, as the United States coast guard has res- cinded an order to close perman- ently the life boat station on the island. The station, which is the only one of its kind between Oswego and Kingston, was 'completed in the late fall of 1936. The station was transferred from Big Sandy, on the south shore of the lake, which was established in the days of sailing yessols when ships were driven into MeRico Bay and were unable to extricate themselves, many disasters resulting. Since steam vessels appeared "on the lake, however, there was little work at Big Sandy for the life savers. The station was abandoned about 1921, but restored during the prohibition era to halt smug- gling of liquor across the lake. When the station was moved from Big Sandy to the Galloo, a channel was dredged between the Little and Big Galloo Islands to insure the coast guard boats suf- ficient depth for safe passage. The station is fully equipped for life saving, with self bailing motor boat, towing boats, beach appara- tus with line gun and signalling equipment. 'A telephone cable con- nects the island station with the mainland. The Big Galloo' Island has ap- proximately - 3,200 acres of land. It is in American waters in Lake Ontario, about 22 miles from here and 36 miles east of Point Peter. GOC Claims Civilians Batavia, Java, Dec. 23 -- (AP) =~ Reports that Dutch troops are killing Indonesian civilians were re- layed to the United Nations Se- curity Council today. The U.N. Good Offices 'Commit tee cabled the charge after the return to Batavia of 18 of its per- sonnel from Kalioerang, a moun- tain resort above Jogjakarta, wherc they had been isolated four days.
