This time it is Bloor Street East which is the centre of a city coun- efl storm. A delegation from St. John's Ukrainian Church last night told council] that Bloor Street near Sim- coe had ceased to be a city street and was Being used as the private property of Smith Transport Com- Pe orong protests were made by the delegation which alleged that the transportation company was block- ing the: road ~with "giant vehicles' which disturbed the sléep of nearby residents during the night. Ald. Herb Robinson claimed the petitioners were "getting personal axes" and 'putting the finger on Smith's". A petition, accompanied by two full pages of signatures, were hand- ed to oouncil protesting against Smith transports parking on the north side of Bloor and the east of Simcoe. The petitioners that children and adults were forced off the sidewalks and had to walk out in the busy street. They appealed to council to take steps to end the hazard. City Solicitor John Hare inform- ed council that the transport com- pany was fined in court yesterday for double-parking in that area. The chief of police had the matter in hand. "Smith transport is apparently in a bad way," commented Mayor Jack Naylor. "It has expanded to the point where its operations are too big for the site". "There is more behind this than is said on the petition," remarked Ald. Hayward Murdoch before the delegation entered the council chamber. Representing St. Jchn's church committee and property owners In that location, members of the dele- gation revealed that the church minister, the Rev. M. Fyk, whose parsonage is close to the corner, had said that he and his family just couldn't stand the noise and the nuisance any longer. "We wil] either have to buy or build a new parsonage Smlees ome thing , is done," ..COUrch-, men, Mt. Fyk and family were woken up during the night by transport engines which were left running to keep the motors and drivers warm. "Mr. Fyk who has been very tient even has to get permission from Smith's to get them to move a transport before he can get his car out of his own garage," went on the delegation. "With the re- moval of storm windows from the parsonage the noise will be even more annoying." Smith's were alleged to be park- ing and jack-knifing right across the sidewalks and out into the road. Ald. Cliff Harman said condi- tions there were really bad and something should certainly be, done. The transport drivers put out an- noying flares throughout the night and the area was always noisy with the roaring of engines. It was_a disgrace that people should be forced to walk In the centre of the road and it "is high time we got after Mr. Smith." "This is a matter of law enforce- ment," sald Ald. Norman Down. The company wasn't a bankrupt one so why should it be permitted Third Atomic Flash Lights Ne LAS VEGAS, Nev. vada Sky Less Brilliantly third atomic explosion of the atomic cannon. spring test series flashed bright in the pre-dawn sky over this des- ert resort today. The flash, however, was not as brilliant as in the two earlier 1953 shots. As usual, the atomic energy commission gave no indication of the type of nuclear device deton- ated at its proving ground 75 mes northwest of here. In contrast to the first two blasts, on preceding Tuesdays, no troops participated in today's ex- ercise, latest in a series to be ( or he atomio. by the firing of the first Observers here were puzzled by the fact that five minutes after the explesion, no familiar mush- room cloud was to be seen rising over tht Yucca Flat test site.

"Smith is monopolizing the whole area," stated Ald. Cephas Gay. There was a sidewalk allowance there so where did the company get its alleged permission to park out to and onto the road? Ald. Wes Powers thought it was time that the city-wide problem of transports blocking sidewalks was reviewed. Several gas stations were doing the same thing as Mr. Smith. After the delegation left Ald. Hers "Robinson said that 'Smith's did have a proper parking lot which the company had been un- able to use recently owing to the heavy rains. Given good weather the lot should be open within a day or two and the transports would disappear from Simcoe Street. The company had already been on the carpet for double parking. "They are concerned. It makes their public relations difficult and they want to do something. But what can be done?" asked Ald. Robinson. "We must agree that Mr. Smith has always been very co-operative," sald the Mayor, "I've brought this up before but didn't get anywhere," Ald. Gordon Attersley reminded council. He thought a special committee should be set up to go into the problem of companies using city streets for the transacting of their business. "Have you no confidence in the traffic and transportation commit- tee, of which I am chairman?" angrily demanded Ald. Herb Robin- son. "If not, then say so and re- place us. If anything has not been done to the satisfaction of council then let us know of it right now". "I am favorable towards this matter being left with that com- mittee--If something is done," in- terjected Ald. Attersley. Returned to the debate Ald. Robinson charged that members of the delegation "had private axes to grind", i "It is a case of one citizen putting the finger on another," he alleged. "What can we do about engines running at night?" "I don't now but that is part of the question," noted Ald. Down. The debate flared up again an hour later when Ald. Robinson proposed that parking restrictions in the vicinity of the South End Grill at 5 Bloor Street Bast should not be relaxed. The proprietor of the store, John Zinkeiwiech said BLOOR ST. CHURCH (Continued on Page 2) Western Diplomats Speculate UK, US. To Nibble At Red Bait By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW (AP) -- Western dip- lomats speculated here today that both Britain and the United States may soon offer diplomatic assur- ances of interest in recent con- ciliatory Soviet moves. The feeling was sparked by Brit- ish ambassador Sir Alvary Gas- coigne's hurried trip to London and the imminent arrival of the ew American envoy, Charles E. = Bohlen. Observers here believe that Boh- len, expected in Moscow within days, may be bringing a message from either State Secretary Dulles or President Eisenhower. (The U. S.

Such a gesture, it is speculated, could come in the form of a friendly communication from Britain's Prime Minister Churchill or For- eign Secretary Anthony Eden. Gascoigne's abrupt recall to Lon- don presumably was connected with Communist China's offers on exchange of Korean war prisoners and the recent conciliatory, Rus- sian moves. The Soviet press and radio gave prominent attention today to the ROY SCOTT In a surprise move, Roy Scott of Seagrave, has resigned the CCF candidacy for Ontario riding. Last November he was chosen to be the candidate for the next federal election. "At that time it was my belief that the election would be held in May and that most of the cam- paigning could be done during the months when work on my farms is at the minimum. I would, in those circumstances, have been able to devote myself to the cam- paign at comparably small finan- cial cost. "However, it now appears that the earliest an election can be ex- pected is early fall, with the cam- paign occupying all of the summer months. "I feel that it is my duty to the electors and to the CCF to inform them that such a campaign com- ing at the busiest season of the year would be beyond my capac- ity to conduct to the degree need- ed to insure success," says Mr. Scott in his letter of resignation to the party. Mr. Scott first entered the pol- itical field last May when he ran against Michael Starr (Cons.) and John Lay (Lib.) in a federal by- election. Mr. Starr won the seat with 12,310 votes. Mr. Lay was CCF Candidate Withdraws Will Not Stand For Election runner-up with 9,088 and Mr. Scott collected 8,470 votes. He fought the campaign on a united farmer-labor platform which went over well in the city but didn't swing much rural support. Until this morning's announce- ment it appeared as if the same three men would be fighting the hext contest. Both Mr. Starr and Mr. Lay have been renominated. Mr. Scott, who will be 55 in a week's time, has been a member of the CCF party for 15 years. He assured the party heads that it was only after prolonged thought and intensive weighing of all the arguments that he came to the conclusion "with the deepest re- gret" that he would have to re- sign. "During my brief term as your candidate I have made many new friends, especially in Oshawa. To those, and to all the others of longer standing, I pledge my con- tinued adherence to the CCF and the principles for which it stands." Mr. Scott also promised his full support to the CCF's new candi- date. No meeting to select a candi- date has yet been called. For the first time in an Ontario riding election the 'CCF by naming Mr. Scott in the fall, had beaten the other two political parties in choos- ing its candidate, The CCFers said they wanted to map out a long campaign. Other Hot UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.--(AP)- A cautious but urgent hope that Communist China's latest moves would lead to peace in Korea today overshadowed the many hot issues facing the United Nations. But" no "riew" ®eHON "here" on' the Korean question appeared immi- nent. Canada's chief delegate, Paul Martin, said Monday night the call by Red Chinese Premier Chou En- lai for settlement of the prisoner- of-war issue holding up a Korean armistice was 'an important one." "It overshadows éverything now genuine, it could mean an end the war in Korea and 'Would be th# biggest news the world has had i 21% years." Chou"s offer, broadcast from Pel- ing Monday, called for returning Pe after a Korean cease-fire, those prisoners who "insisted" on repatriation and turning the rest over to an unnamed neutral coun- try till their fate was settled. To many here, studying the text of the Peiping broadcast, the offer at first glance appeared to 'Back Up By OLEN CL TOKYO (AP)--A wary United Nations command told the Com- unists today to get down to bus- iness if their startling new offers to end the Korean fighting are sincere. Gen. Mark Clark, UN Far East commander, said he would agree to reopen the suspended armistice talks if the Reds agree to details of exchanging sick and wounded war prisoners. The UN in effect told the Reds to come up with an official, de- tailed version of Monday night's radio proposal by Red China's premier, Chou En-lai, to comprom- ise the standoff on voluntary re- patriation of war prisoners. The unyielding UN demand that PoWs have the choice of returning to their native lands was the only being discussed in the UN.

With some amendments de- manded by the U.S. and her west- ern Allies, the Indian plan as finally adopted upheld the UN rinciple that no prisoner would returned to his homeland by 'force or retained by force after 'a Korean truce. In rejecting the plan, the Communists demanded that all prisoners be returned whether or not they wanted to go home. Observers here felt that the sub- sequent Chinese refusal was dic- tated by Moscow and was signalled by Vishinsky, who roughly ac- cused the Indians of pushing an American-designed proposal in dis- guise. Words' issue blocking an armistice and it broke up the talks last Oct. 8. Chou offered to send home those PoWs who want to go back and send .the others to a neutral state where both sides can talk it over with them. But he didn't say what the UN wants to hear -- whether, even there, the prisoners would have the final choice. For the UN, that has been a must. Clark's proposal was contained in a letter handed to the Reds at Panmunjom in Korea, i' It was an answer to a Communist proposal Saturday to swap ailing prisoners and reopen the talks. In his letter today, Clark pro- posed that a liaison group from both sides--each headed by a gen- eral or an admiral--make the ex- change arrangements.

ALERT BOBBY GRABS MOON MAD SUSPECT Christie Arrested On Putney Street LONDON (CP) --John Reginald Christie, Britain's most hunted man, was taken meekly by police today and grilled six hours about the grisly "murder house" strangling of six, and possibly seven, women. Hundreds of curious milled outside the suburban Put- ney police station, where Christie was brought for sharp questioning by Scotland Yard's ace detectives. The 55-year-old clerk, unshaven and shabbily dressed, was recognized by an alert policeman who saw him strolling along Upper Richmond Road in Putney suburb, near the 'Thames, shortly after nine this morning. 2 SHARP EYE It was only five miles from the murder house in London's drab Notting Hill gate district where Christie lived before his disappear- ance a week ago. The bodies of four women, in- cluding Christie's wife, were found sealed beneath the floor and walls of the house. The remains of two and possibly three others were found in the garden where police are still digging for possible other victims. The women had been strangled in sadistic sex orgies. Christie had been the object of | the greatest manhunt in London since the days -of Jack the Ripper more than 60 years ago. Thomas Ledger, the policeman who spotted him, stopped Christie, asked him to remove his hat and quickly recognized him from pic- tures widely-circulated throughout Britain, The policeman recognized Chris- tie from pictures circulated throughout Britain. He challenged him and Christie calmly walked to the local police station in Putney, Thames-side suburb' not live miles from the neighborhood in Notting Hill where the' shabby murder tenement stands. Detectives hurried fo the Putney station to question Christie on his knowledge of the grisly contents found in the house a week ago. Police cordoned off the Notting Hill area early today after being told that Christie was seen sleep- ing in the back of a truck on a parking lot. Earlier they were following a theory that 'he might have gone to the north of England. Every available policeman in northwest London was switched to the district as officers closed in on the 'site. Bit by then the suspect was gone, only to be brought in by patrolman Thomas Ledger. Ledger spotted his man walking along the main shopping street, Upper Richmond road, in the Put- ney suburb in bright spring sun- shine this morning at 9:10 a. m. Christie went along quietly. As the news spread, a large crowd gathered outside the Putney police station.

It was the wish of the old Queen, who died last Tuesday after a five- week illness, to be buried in the 477-year-old chapel near her hus- band and her son, King George VI, and 10 other British kings.
