He also stated that some of this equipment arrived in specially equipped cars, which were not of | available in any great supply and hence could not be left standing empty on a siding. FREIGHT CAR TRAFFIC Mr. Wecker showed figures of freight car movements to the plant in the first eight months of this year. The total number of out- bound cars during that period, he said, was 17,675 and the total num- ber of inbound cars was 7,936 cars. This was an average of 70 cars daily out and 40 cars daily com- ing into the plant. He explained that because of their product, it was nearly always impossible to load the empty inbound cars with motor oA to go back out again. In nearly all cases, he said, all inbound cars were taken out empty and all outbound cars en- tered the plant empty. Recalling the history of the es- tablishment of the new plant in the south end, Mr. Wecker report- ed that the land had been pur- chased some three years ago with CARD OF THANKS . George Spencer and family wish a all the relatives and friends for their many acts of kindness and floral tributes during the illness and passing of a loving husband and father.

CHARLES FAIRMAN Following a long illness Jane Elinor Mathews, beloved wife of the late Charles Fairmap, passed away at Uxbridge on Sunday, August 30th in her 85th year. The funeral service was held at the Chapel of the Funeral of McGuire and Low on September 2, conduct- ed by Rev. H. A. Kennedy. The late Jane Mathews was born in Reach Township in 1869, a daughter of the late William | Mathews and Eliza Baird. In 1901, she married Charles Fairman who predeceased her in 1943. For some years they farm- ed on the 6th concession of Scott. Mrs. Fairman was a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Frascati's | Shuts Doors LONDON (Reuters) -- London's Frascati's Restaurant, one of the last stands of the Edwardian era, will shut its doors for good 'next June. Thousands of turists have flocked to this ornate, sentiment- ally-decorated cafe to conjure up lush memories of Britain before the First World War, when Gaiety girls finished up in the peerage and Rupert Brooke wrote of love |. eternal. In those days Britain was still the head of the vast ethpire. There was plenty to eat and plenty to drink and plenty of gold-backed pounds to buy it with. Frascati's has up to now stuck proudly to that sumptuous tradi- tion, despite two world wars, the ' blitz of London and rationing. Wine connoisseurs say it still has one of the world's finest cellars. It is one of the last of the out- size "modern" establishments that delighted the palate of King Ed- ward VII. Business sources said they be- lieve Frascati"s will be turned into an office building, to conform with its mid-20th century neighbors on Oxford street. a view at that time to some sort of expansion. A parts warehouse was the first building erected and then two years ago the company decided to construct a truck as- sembly plant. Since then, he said, it had become apparent that there was a rising demand for motor cars and as a result the plant which was to house the truck as- sembly had been converted to car assembly. When Y siked if he did not think that it would be most satisfactory to have a terminal carrier do the switchine for both railways, Mr. Wecker replied at that two lines | into the plant would be better. One of the commissioners asked if it would take more time to have two railways moving cars out of the plant. He cited an example in which one railway would be called to move five cars and later the other be called in to move another five cars. During these operations, he said, loading operations at the plant would come to a halt. He suggested that one firm and one crew could move these cars with- out such delays. Mr. Wecker ex- plained that his' shippers arranged a schedule which would alleviate any such difficulties. CPR OFFICIAL An important witness was W. F. Koehn, General Superintendent of the CPR in Toronto. He cited the points of delay in getting CPR cars to and from the new GM plant since they have to be handl- ed by the Oshawa Railway Com- pany and switched through CNR yards and across the main line, A 24-hour check on the CNR main line at the point where the exchange would be made showed a total of 47 moves which occup- ied the line for 14 hours and 25 minutes. Mr. Koehn said three hours would be an average time to move their cars, via Oshawa Rail- way, from the new GM plant to the CPR yards. Actual elapsed times were frequently much long- er than' that, running up to 19 hours. Even in "urgent" cases long delays are now being experienced. The gist of the matter for the CPR is that if they can shorten the time their cars take to get from the GM plant at their main line, they can take them to To- ronto in time to catch the night freights to "Western Canada -- otherwise an entire day is lost in shipment. Bulk of GM CPR traf- fic is to Western Can ada, he said. The new yard is capable of be- ing developed for 235 cars. At pres- ent it will be used much less. CITES FIGURES In the year 1952, 12,824 loaded CPR cars at General Motors or an average of 41 loads a day. The same humber of empties had to be brought in. But in the first six months of 1953, demand had risen to 8,762 loads for that period or an average of 56 per day. The cars from the new plant have to be transhipped 2.35 miles to the CPR yards as opposed to only 8,762 feet to their own main line. It was suggested that GM might agree to the two railways having alternate switching privileges into the plant, but this suggestion was not pursued. ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED According to CPR estimates, 75 percent of the GM loads over some city streets could be eliminated by the spur. But it was pointed out by CNR counsel that this will {be accomplished by the mere fact of the new GM south %location, whether or not a spur line is con- structed. CPR officials had told Oshawa that their new project would cost about $1,000,000. Now they say the total cost will be under $600,000. Mr. MacDougall to Mr. Koehn: "It has been stated that the spur line is to put you on a proper competitive basis with the CNR. What is meant by that?" Answer: "It refers to the time element in getting cars to the mainline. Without having to go a long way around." Mr. MacDougal: "'t Aa Higher Gold Price Move Is Rejected WASHINGTON (CP) -- Gold-pro- ducing South Africa Thursday pro- posed an increase in the world price of gold from its present fixed base of $35 an ounce in U.S. currency. The proposal was promptly re- jected by the United States, the world's biggest gold buyer. The proposal was made by Mi- chiel Hendrick de Cock, governor of the South African Reserve Bank, in an address to the international monetary fund meeting here. De Cock said a gold price in- crease would be logical now that trade is more normal, that special assistahce programs have declined and there is a world desire to achieve adequacy of reserves and ensure the maintenance of interna- tional financial liquidity. He maintained that an increase in the gold price would greatly facilitate the attainment of cur- rency convertibility in a large part of the world. He said he 'hoped the "countries which still oppose the readjustment of gold prices will not wait until a world recession or depression causes them to bring about what could have been done in advance with much less destruction." Replying for the United States, Randolph Burgess, deputy of the U.S. treasury, said his country could not approve of an increase. He said such a move would be inflationary and would undermine not only: programs of the interna- tional monetary fund but the ad money program' of the "Tampering with the price of gold would be a step backwards and would add to the difficultie in many countries which are stil struggling to establish sound cur- rencies." Assess Cyclist Speeding Fine speeding motorcyclist was brought Before Magistrate F. S. Ebbs this morning charged with driving at 70 mph. in a 30 mile zone. Johannes Lieffers, 46, King- ston Road East, was clocked on Monday at 9.45 a.m. between Wil- son Road and the Kingsway Motel, dodging holiday t affic at 40 miles over the speed limit. Leiffers swore that he never had a bike over 55 mph. in his 20 years of driving. He testified that he speeded up to 40 mph. to pass a car ahead of him "which was driving erratically, and then slow- ed to the regular 30 miles. PC Dwight Smith who followed the motorcycle at 70 mph. from Oshawa Boulevard to the motel swore that the cruiser's speedom- eter disfinctly read 70 miles. The accused was fined $20, plus court costs, with the option of 10 days in jail.

CLARKE After the US Congress, in the summer of 1952, had decided to guarantee farm prices for the six basics at 90 per cent of parity for the next two years, both parties, Democrats and Republicans, pledg- ed themselves to continue this pol- icy. General Eisenhower, in his cam- paign for the presidency, went one better and promised the farm- ers. "100 per cent parity in the market place." CHANGE OF MIND Since the Republicans have tak- en over in Washington, however, American farmers are beginning to realize that the trend of the Administration is towards "libera- tion" of the economy from all con- trols and supports. Not yet have they identified the President with this change of mind, but are put- ting the -blame on Secretary of Agriculture Benson, Secretary of | Interior McXay and the "trusts and bankers in the OP." Mr. Benson has warned the farmers that the Government ex- pects them to produce a long- range program of their own. Pres- ently farm organizations in the United States are busy polling their members opinions on ques- tions like Farm Income Stability, Production and Marketing Adjust- ments, Conservation, Agricultural Credit and Foreign Trade. SUPPORT PROGRAM? The main question farmers are asked is whether they "believe that there should be a government pric. support program.' Four varieties of price support are under discussion: disaster lev- el, 90 per cefit support, variable supports and 100 per cent supports. Disaster supports would be in effect only during times of gen- eral depression and be sét at a level which would give the pro- ducer only out-of-pocket expenses. Such a low level would not give the farmer a living wage and 'in all probability drag the whole economy down. 90 per cent and 100 per cent support prices are advocated by those who believe that the govern- ment should maintain high farm prices, and look after surpluses in order to prevent a general depres- sion. Variable supports means a sys- tem of support prices that would increase as supply decreases and decrease as supply increases. This should have the effect of encourag- ing farmers to switch from com- modities in over supply to com- modities in short supply. Variable supports would probably be set at 75 to 90 per cent of parity. Also discussed is the system of two prices, one for the domestic market, another one for export. In this case only farm products used for domestic consumption would be price supported which would en- tail establishment of production quotas. Every farmer would then be free to-decide how much he wanted to produce for the world market to be sold at prices not supported by the government. FOREIGN TRADE Canadian farmers have always been and still are willing to accept free trade if Canadian industry will do the same. It will be in- teresting to learn what stand Ame. erican farmers will take. In view of the fact that in 1951 the U.S. exported over 4 billion dollars worth of agricultural prod- ucts, 27 per cent of total Ameri- can exports, the importance of foreign markets to the American farmer is evident. As it is within the powers of the President of the United States to make trade and tariff agreements with other countries (except for certain limitations), his. actions in the near future should show to what extent American farmers can rely on his campaign promises. With Canadian agriculture being in practically the same position as American agriculture it will pay Canadian farmers to watch the de- velopments South of the border. It would not only benefit the farm- ers, but be of advantage to the general economy, in the Canadian Federation of Agriculture would instigate a public discussion of these problems. odd expression to use." "Yes, but I didn't write the newspaper article in which it ap- peared. Where w ..n ha, direct {access to a plant we prefer it." | The CPR has contended that the élement of competition plays no part in their application and that General Motors allots its business to. both railways on an equitable basis. Mr. Koehn said there would be only one diesel switching engine used in the yard. CNR counsel thought the operation could not be accomplished with only one. "How do you justify the expen- diture of a million dollars or even $600,000, on the basis of economy to the CPR?" 'We have estimated . . . At pres- ent we are paying the Oshawa Railway Company $25 per car. Last year it cost us $341,000 and the rates have gone up. We can handle cars there for about $7 a car," Mr. MacDougall: "Incidentally, where do you get the information that railwaymen are flagging at city street crossings. They are not required to do that." "I have seen them. 'The other day at First Street'. TRAFFIC ANGLE Chairman of the Oshawa Plan- ning Board, Norman C. Millman, supported the application on be- half of the Board, the city council and the Chamber of Commerce. His evidence hinged around the improvment in motor traffic con- ditions which would come with the building of the CP spur. His evi- dence was assisted by the exam- ination made by John Hare, Osh- awa city solicitor. Mr. Millman said it is in the public interest to reduce railway interruptions to motor traffic. Mr. MacDougall to Mr. Millman: "You are not suggesting t he spur line would give increased facilities to General Motors but just that it would relieve traffic congestion?" Answer: "We support them (General Motors) and they sup- port us in many activities." Mr. MacDougall: "If an over- pass were built on Ritson Road for car traffic, your difficulties would disappear?"' Mr. Hare: "No one is suggesting that any overpass is going to be built." It was pointed out that city zon- OSHAWA TRAFFIC TOLL Yesterday Accidents Injured Year to Date Accidents Injured | Killed PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY ing plans call for a residential area west of Park Road North of High- way 401 and south of the CPR main line. Mr. Millman also said that sev- eral Oshawa industries are con- sidering expansion in the area south of the CNR and west of the GM plant. Mr. MacDougall: 'And have they expressed any dissatisfaction with the rail facilities being offer- ed by the CNR?" Mr. Millman: 'The CPR spur line will be advantageous .to the development of industry in this area." The CPR has contended that the element of competition plays no part in their application"and that General Motors allots its business to both railways on an equitable basis. 2 [G4 . on.your own signatur Up to 24 months to repay.

Sl a { J DUDZIEC (Continued from Page 1) with the result that there was de- terioration of the heart muscles as well as the liver, kidneys and other organs. He said it was a typical septicaemia by bacterial infection and as a result all the organs had been affected. The pneumonia and changes in the heart 'would have been enough to cause death. Recalled to the stand later to reply to the sfatements by Mr. and Mrs. Dudziac that their son's body was black following exhuma- tion last Saturday, Dr. Barkowskas commented that this was natural as soon after death bacterial ac- tion sets in which produces black- ness and gas. ACTING TRRATIONALLY Constable Alvin Monck of the To- ronto Police Department told of being called to the Maple Leaf Sta- dium on August 19. On his ar- rival, with Constable Jack Carr, he found the young man walking up and down on the playing field with all his clothes off. He was talking in an erratic manner. He was per- suaded to come off the field and had to be taken into a dressing room before he' would put his clothes on. Dudziac was taken to the Clare- mont Street Station where he kept muttering '"'nothing in the world is of any value." Dudziac gave his name and address to the desk ser- geant and it was recorded. The following day Dudziac was taken in a patrol wagon to the city hall, where Magistrate A. L. Tinker came from the building to the van and remanded him to the Don Jail for mental examination. Constable Monck said that the man's name and address was giv- en to Magistrate Tinker, but ad- mitted the address had not been incorporated in the information nor in the warrant of committal for examination. Sgt. Earl Parsons, who was in charge of the Claremont Street Station when Dudziac was brought in, corroborated the erratic man- ner exhibited by Dudziac who kept muttering "this is the end." Dud- ziac gave his name, address, age and country of origin to the officer. He appeared healthy and was not physically injured in any way. FAMILY NOTIFIED On the instructions of the ser- geant, Constable Cook was despat- ched to inform the family. The mother visited the station at 6.30 p.m. on August 19, but due to the crowded conditions was not allow- ed to see her "son. She wag told he would appear the following morning at the city hall courts. On several occasions during the night, the officer saw Dudziac who continued to pace and mutter. Constable Thomas Cook told the jury of talking to Mrs. Dudziac and telling her about her son. In addition he contacted a personal friend of the family and explained the situation, asking that it be ex- plained in their own language. Sgt. Glover and Sgt. Rumble, who were in charge of the station during the night and early morn- ing corroborated the evidence of the previous witness as regards Dudziac's actions. Sgt. Rumble said that just after the patrol wagon left, with the young man for the city hall, two people whom he identified as Mr. and Mrs. Dudziac visited the staton. He explained to them how to get to the downtown court. Constable Clarke, who escorted Dudziac to the city hall testified that the man talked all the time Magistrate Tinker was addressing him. He also said Dudziac's name was on the warrant of remand but he was not sure the home address was on it. MAGISTRATE TESTIFIES Magistrate Tinker, a Toronto court official since 1930, recalled the circumstances surrounding the case. He said he took Constable Monck's evidence beside the po- lice van on August 20 and typed the warrant of remand himself. Due to the fact that there was no room available in the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital the remand was to the Don Jail for a mental examination. Continuing the Magistrate said that on August 24 an official from the Don Jail visited his office and handed him a report on Dudziac. The report said he refused food and that officials wanted him mov-+ ed to a mental hospital as soon as possible. The report stated he was too violent to appear. Shown a copy of the committal order, he admitted signing it. The section dealing with next of kin was left blank and the section set- ting forth the address was filled with the words "not known". Mr. Tinker said the jail report had been prepared by Dr. Gordon Mec- Larty, jail physician. He said he did not obtain the home address from Constable Monck. However, it could have been obtained, but he accepted Dr.McLarty's report without question. MISSED NOTATION Later, when shown the original information with the cryptic word- ing, "Joseph Dudziac, 20, S. Lab., 12 Angus Pl," typed across the top, he admitted he should have typed it into the commital order. In explanation he commented that the jail was in a rush to se- cure permission from the Depart- ment of Health at Queen's Park to the jail official had called him at a busy time during the morning of August 25. "I must have overlooked it. I admit I did not see the address or it might have become misplac- ed on my desk. I admit I was responsible. I overlooked it. There is no other way to describe it," Mr. Tinker added. During his evidence later in the hearing Dr. D, R. Fletcher, super- intendent of the Ontario Hospital at Whitby, to whom the documents dealing with the case were handed when Dudziac was committed, tes- tified that it was not until he was looking over the Papers on Wednes- day of this week that he spotted the notation at the .top of the committal form. PROCEDURE EXPLAINED R. H. Paterson, governor of the Don Jail, explained the documen- tary procedure and said the docu- ment he received from the court did not have the home address on it. He said that under the jail procedure no effort was made to secure the names of relatives or home address unless the prisoner was dangerously or critically ill and that did not apply in this in- stance. Ira McComb and M. H. Lamrock, two other jail officials, gave corroborative evidence. Me- Comb said he asked Dudziac where he lived and was unable to secure a lucid answer. Dr. McLarty, who examined Dudziac, said it was impossible to talk ®o the man and he would not sooperate in any examination. In checking his physical condition he found his heart fairly good, his chest was more or less clear and his blood pressure was normal. He found a gross mental condi- tion. He was quite excitable so two orderlies were called to take him out of the room. Dr. McLarty saw Dudziac again on Friday and Sat- urday when it was decided there was no point in waiting any long- er. He contacted Dr. W, H. Jacq OSHAWA AND DISTRICT SECOND PLACE W. G. Brownlee and G. Mac- Millan of the Oshawa Lawn Bowl- ing Club took second place in the lay for - the Bickle Trophy at obourg on Monday. FENDERS DAMAGED An auto collision on Richmond Street west at 5.50 p.m. yesterday resulted in damaged fenders to both cars involved. John Benson, 41, 622 Grierson Avenue, was driv- ing: West on Richmond Street and David Flowers, 20, 20 Oak Street, was pulling away from the curb when the collision happened. Both right fenders on Benson's car were dented, and the left front fender of Flowers' car was scraped. CYCLIST HIT Bruce MacDonald, 159 Tresane Street, was hit yesterday - after- noon when riding his bicycle along Park Road South. He was heading north when a car pulled out from Greenwood Avenue, hitting the bike and damaging the left pedal. The name c' the driver is not known. TWINS BORN Mrs. Lloyd Pogue, RR 3, Ux- bridge, who was the first patient of the Port Perry Community Me- morial Hospital réturned to the hospital to give birth to twins on September 9. The twins, both boys, were the 100th and 101st babies to be born since the hospital openad and were the second set of twins to be born here, LARGEST EVER The enrolment at the Uxbridge High School -- 246 pupils -- is the largest on record. The highest pre- who later saw the man and cer- tified as to his condition. He mark- ed: the case '"'urgent" so that jail officials could go to the city hall on the following Monday. Dudziac when last seen by Dr. McLarty was confused and could give no definite personal history. He commented he had purposely left the home address, blank thinking officials at the city hall would have it. He said he had a telephone call from a man speaking partly in a foreign langnage after Dudziac had left the jail for Whitby. The caller was told to contact the Whitby hospital. TALKED TO FATHER 0. Connors, deputy governor at the Toronto jail, said Dudziac's father called at the jail on Monday, August 24. He was told of his son's mental condition and explained papers for his committal to Whit- by that were going through that day. The father was not allowed to see his son due to his condition. No attempt was made to fill in the 'missing facts on this occasion as Connors did not. know they were not on the proper form. Dr. Fletcher told the jury he had a call from the department of health on the morning of Au- gust 25. He saw the young man at 4.15 p.m., that day and tried to get information from him but without success. He looked. to be a very acute mental case although he looked well physically. The doctor saw him again on the afternoon of Au- gust 26 and he was still inaccess- ible with no response to questions. On the evening of August 26, Dr. K. G. MacKenzie, a member of the medical staff, reported to him that Dudziac had died rather sud- denly and that Coroner Dr. F. A. Cuddy of Whitby thought it best to have an autopsy. Due to the fact that the commit- tal order had been singed by an experienced magistrate and did wot have any next of kin listed it was decided to wait. Burial was made on Saturday, August 29, in Groveside Cemetery. A Christian burial service, with nothing omit- ted, was conducted by the hospital chaplain, Rev. Thomas Floyd. Dr. Fletcher explained that steps were taken to bolster the man's strength by tube feeding, while electrical shock treatment was also given. SITUATION EXPLAINED Questioned by Mr. Hall as to why no effort had been made to trace relatives, Dr. Fletcher said there was no apparent place to start as the form from the mag- istrate did not list any relatives. He said further that during the past three days five people with no relatives had been admitted to the hospital and during August the total in this category had been seven. On Saturday, August 29, Dr. Flet- cher learned a brother was a pa- tient in the Whitby hospital, but the names in the records were spelled differently. He felt sure no one on the staff knew of the con- nection. On Saturday also the parents visitea the hospital. 'The mother and father were distressed and so was I" said Dr. Fletcher. They expressed a wish to see the ceme- tery and they were taken out by hopital authorities. Dr. MacKenzie of the hospital staff testified there were no signs of violence when he examined the remains. . DECIDED TO WAIT send the man to Whitby, and that Mr. and Mrs. Dudziac, who testi- vious: enrol t was 215. There are 358 pupils enrolled in the public school -- an increase of 28 over last year.
