Fialka paid the fine yesterday morning' and was released from the county jail at Whitby where he has been held since his second appeal against the conviction was dismissed. : The sentence, imposed by Magis- trate Frank S. Ebbs in police court here following a conviction, which has been upheld in two ap- als -- one before County Judge . J. MacRae and the other before the Ontario Court of Appeals -- was reduced by the Lieutenant Governor in Council "on compas- sionate grounds." POLICE INCENSED Police here are furious at the action of the Attorney General's department which made the recom- sndation to the Lieut t Gov- ernor in Council that the jail term should be reduced to a moderate fine.

E. Germany In Martial Grip Following Bullet-Torn Riots BERLIN (CP)--An uneasy quiet settled over embattled East Berlin! today as the half-city nursed its wounds in the wake of anti-Com- munist riots that took at least 16 lives. German truck drivers crossing the 100 miles of highway between West Germany and Berlin relayed to West Berlin police unconfirmed rumors that Red police also had blood shot and killed 22 rioters in Magde- burg Wednesday, and that similar riot-strikers against the Communist government erupted in Dresden, Chemnitz, Dessau and Branden- burg. Ten thousand Soviet troops encircled Berlin's occupied sector, armored Russian- their guns westward, others direct- ing their ominous attention toward the East Germans. Machine - gun fire that ripped along the East-West zonal frontier in the heart of the city from Wed- nesday noon into the night was heard again early today, Martial law, slapped on East Berlin Wednesday at the peak of y street fighting, was ex- tended today to other cities of East Germany. East German police said Russian authorities had placed the city. of Potsdam (130,000 population 10 miles outside Berlin) and Babels- {berg (15,000 population) under the | edict.

Although there is a brewer's warehouse, three beverage room licenses and one club license in the town, there has never been a liquor outlet. Now, the Board re- ports that work has begun on a building which will eventually house a liquor store in the town. For some time, reports have been reaching The Times - Gazette of- fice that a liquor store would be opened in the town this year.
