ITALY VOTES (Continued from Page 1) Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Ital- ian Premier Alcide de Gasperi and other vigorous supporters of Euro- pean unity. Still awaiting ratification is the mililary counterpart, the European army treaty to weld the armed forces of the six countries into one international force. The foreign ministers have signed a treaty to set it up, but none of the six parlia- ments has ratified the treaty. NEAR SOVIET OUTPUT The six countries linked by the treaty produce about 38,000,000 metric tons (of 2,200 pounds each) of steel a year, just under the estimated 41,000,000 tons turned out by Russia and her satellites. The Schuman countries mine 225,000, 000 tons of coal annually but hope to make up present shortages-- now filled from the United States. Britain, which produces almost 16,000,000 tons of steel a year, stayed out of the plan but has promised to co-operate closely. The Utfited States--annual output 98,500,000 tons--also is a non- participating but strongly-backing country. TODAYS' BIRTHDAYS Congratulations are extend- ed to A. E.

Placing dollar sales of Canada's retail stores into one basket, there is a four-perceni $125,000,000 increase in the first four months of 1952. A close look, however, dis- closes that increases are heaped in some types of stores and dug out of others. While grocery and women's clothing stores made sharp gains in the four-month period, radio and appliance stores, lumber yards and motor vehicle salesrooms took slide. shows that total retail sales in the four months climbed to $3,234,000,- 000 from $3,108,000,000 last year. But of 21 different types of stores, only 14 showed gains; the other seven showed declines. While women's clothing stores gained 14.3 per cent and grocery stores 12 per cent, appliance and radio stores declined by 16.7 per cent and furniture stores by 6.7 per cent. GROWTH UNEVEN This sharp contrast reflects the fact that the pace of Canada's economic growth is not even: One area may suffer while another wallows in prosperity. But gener- ally the trend is upward. In April, retail stores climbed 7.1 per cent to $919,903,000 from $859,228,000 in April last year. All regions showed gains, but Sas- katchewan--the wheat province-- led them all with a 25.4-per-cent jump. The Matitimes showed a boost of 11.7 per cent, while other gains ranged from 7.6 per cent in Quebec to 0.6 per cent in Manitoba. BUS SYSTEM (Continued from Page 1) bert Robinson and Joe Victor met with a CNR deputation including A. C. Lomas, vice-president. 'The points agreed upon at that meeting were put in more formal fashion by a letter from Mr. Lomas which was read at last night's meeting. In this letter the CNR's asking price, which came to a total of $314,000 exclusive of an item of $10,- 000 a year which it would ask for rental of three of the five bays in its Hillcroft Avenue garage, was broken down. COST BREAK-DOWN Items included $280,000 for 32 buses; - $13,400 for spare parts of various kinds; $4,000 for tools and repair equipment; $1,600 for gas- oline pumps and tanks; $2,000 for stocks of various kinds on hand; $1,565 for 1952 licence plates and $12,000 for land and buildings. Alderman Robinson gave a very brief report merely confirming the fact that the meeting had been held. He said that the special com- mittee, now that it had a break- down of the figures, would need more time to study them and make a report. "Well," said Mayor Michael Sarr, "their figures are not as high as I theught they would be". The motion to explore the pos- sibility of buying the bus system from the CNR or rather from its subsidiary the Oshawa Railway Company, was first broached quiet- ly and without fanfare about a year ago. It was just another resolu- Hon which passed through coun- cil, FIRST OVERTURES However exploratory overtures were made and it was found that the CNR was willing to discuss the matter. At a meeting some months ago it was pointed out that thé CNR still maintained that it had never made money on this phase of its Oshawa activities and the member of council who brought the matter up failed to see how the city could make a go of it if the bus company with its "know how" was unable to do so. The question has never been brought out in open council for a full dress debdte and will not likely be done so until the' special com- mittee is ready to make its recom- mendation. However it is known that there is a hard kernel of al- dermen, including some of the more senior members, who are in favor of the city taking over this bus line. They see it as the only way to resolve the difficulties the city has had, for so many years, with the transportation company. JURY OUT IN TRIAL PEMBROKE (CP)--The trial of S.Sgt. J. M. Young, 40, of Frederic- ton, in connection with thefts from Petawawa military camp contin- ued behind closed doors yesterday while the court heard evidence on the admissibility of certain testi- mony. The jury was "excluded. Young is one of seven men charged in connection with the thefts. A Bureau of Statistics survey |' POST OFFICE (Continued from Page 1) corner of Simcoe and Richmond Streets. It was estimated at that ime that that very centrally lo- cated site would bring in the neighborhood of $100,000 and this amount was a major consideration in the 'financing of the new hall. Council . faced last night with somewhat 'of a dilemma. It was possible, if it was able to hold the property for another two years, that it would be in $12,000 in the rental it would receive from the post office department. On the other hand, however, 3 8 141 LH Elie + w build- ing. Tenders would include the demolition of the present annex or what is known as the old YMCA building and work would, # was confidently thought, be begun om the new building this year, It was likely, the di official said, that the quonset would be occupied for a period of from 18 months to two years, Barring cal or unforseen major hazards it was thought that the new post office would be ready for occupancy in that time. The quonset would be the usual type and be set on mud sills. A large rear yard would be needed as postal inspectors were notoriously sticky about cars being parked near the building. In fact, Mr. Freeze said, it was likely that the whole lot would be needed. Discussion about whether or not it would be possible to rent the old building and thus acquire for the city an extra $12,000 over two years went on for more than an hour. It was more or less resolved however when City Solicitor John Hare asked council just how it was going to get the other $100,000 it had been counting on from the sale of the lot and building. City Treasurer, Harold Tripp, admitted that it would mean a levy and when members of council finally broke that down to about two mills on the tax rate and began to visualize the looks in their constituents' eyes the whole thing became quite simple and without more ado it was decided not to rent the hall but to try and find a buyer. ARMS OUTPUT (Continued from Page 1) the Ford Motor Co. may be forced to close down rocket production before the end of the week because of a tubing shortage blamed on the steel strike. Officials of the General Motors Corporation's Cadillac tank plant at Cleveland said it has enough steel for from 10 days to two weeks. The government has been assured by Philip Murray, presi- dent of the C.I.0. and the U.S.W.: CARRY ON FIGHT "Count on us to produce the essential military products neces- sary to carry on our fight against the menace of €ommunist agres- sion." Murray claims the companies have failed in many respects to meet Wage Stabilization Board recommendations which, among other things, call for a 26-ceni- hourly "package" wage boost and a union shop. The industry says the union shop, which would require all steel workers to join the union, is the only bone of con- tention. The industry, which wants a higher price for steel to help cover any salary increase, says its final offer was a 24.6-cent-an-hour pack- age deal which would cost it $400,.- 000,000 a year. Murray says the offer was not that high. Slew Policeman, '| Dies On Gallows WINNIPEG (CP)--Henry Mala- nik, convicted of the shotgun. slay- ing of a policeman here almost two years ago, was hanged at 2:11 am. TDT today in Headingly jail. He was pronounced dead two minutes later. Malanik, a stocky, 50-year-old plumber, smiled at prison officials as he went to the gallows for the slaying of Detective-Sergeant Ed- win Sims July 15, 1950.
