ASK POSTPONEMENT NEW YORK--An authoritative non-Russian source said today the Soviet delegation to the United Na- tions Security Council had asked for postponement of final action on a sclentific report to the Atomic Energy Commission and also of the Council's draft report to the Gener- al Assembly. The Soviet delegate Anrdel Gromyke was quoted by this source as saying he had not had time to study the Council's digest which was examined in a two and a half hour secret Council session yesterday. The meeting adjourned Pe 4 with a suggestion that amendments should be offered within the next several days so the general report could be whipped into final form. It will contain the Council's sum- mation of the unsettled Russian- Iranian and Spanish cases and the pending Soviet-Ukraine complaint against Greece, JUGOSLAV ACCOUNT Tanjug, the Jugoslav news agency, gave this account: On the morning of September 5 around 5.40 o'clock a Greek Spitfire crossed the Jugo- slav-Greek frontier and penetrated 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) into Jugo- slav territory, This plane, said Tan jung, dived over the town of Djevd- jelija after which Jugoslav anti- aircrafts. opened fire and brought this plane down two kilometers (1.2 miles) from the frontier at 6 o'clock.

Plant Membership of Local 222 to Contribute Heavily To Support of Duplate Strik- ers -- Decision Reached By Narrow Margin At a meeting of the G.M. Division of Local 222, UA W.-CI.0, attend- éd by some 600 members at the Un= fon Hall on Thursday night, it was decided by a narrow majority to handle glass imported from the United States for use in the General otors plant here. The member- ship also pledged its most generous financial support to the strikers at the Duplate Canada Limited plant. Harry Benson, Presideht of Local 222, informed The Times-Gazette that while the sentiment of the meeting was opposed to the hand- ling of glass other than that pro- duced by Duplate Canada Limited, that it was felt the action taken would bring more pressure to bear on' the management of Duplate to settle the present strike at an early date and there would be greater assurance of financial assistance to tbe strikers for the duration of the ge Ci 4 strike than if the ranks of those on strike were increased. Continuing Mr, Benson said that the union is ready and willing at any time to open negotiations for the settlement of the Duplate strike. The union feels that the gap between the company and its striking employees can be narrowed without undue ' hardship to the company. A {wo-point proposal was submit- ted to the membership of Local 222 on Thursday night, as follows: --(1) That the GM. unit as a whole refyse to handle the glass and so inform the management. (2) That the G.M. unit continue to operate and that all G.M. employ- ees would be expected to contribute heavily to the Duplate strikers. The proposals were thoroughly discussed | during the meeting. | Mr, Benson pointed out that in- | stead of having approximately 4,000 on strike in the city for an indefin- ate period with no wage issue invol< ved, as the result of a sympathy strike, the number on strike, ap- proximately 350, will remain the same with the Duplate company | losing the sale of its glass and all | the other products j§ manufactures '1g its plant ET -------- OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times dnd Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 5--No, 107 OSHAWA - whfrsy, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1946 Price 4 Cents 20 PAGES IN TWO SECTIONS 5 ss # Camp Samac, the gift of Col, R. 8.

Scouting Greatest Gift to World Lord Rowallan said that he had on different occasions heard men express the view that scouting was the greatest gift Britain had given to the world. This he sincerely be- lieved to be true, though few recog- nized the tremendous influence and importance of scouting for good, for Gogliness and for the promotion of understanding among all mankind. The day would come, he sald, when this influence will be recognized and when scouting and Baden Powell, its founder, will attain their full reward for the great services they have and are rendering, Reminding his audience that there are five million scouts and cubs of all colors and creeds, talking many languages and yet united by the promise and laws Baden Powell gave scouting 38 years ago. Lord Rowallan said that when he attend- ed a troop meeting anywhere he al- ways felt at home at once, Stress- ing that scouts. throughout the world do the same things and have much the same ideas, he declared that scouting can bind together in PEACEFUL WORLD (Continued on Page 10) PICTURES HELD OVER The Times-Gazette today is privi- leged to reproduce a number of very fine pictures of the opening cere- monies at Camp Samac on urs- day.

Group Not Completed -- Build- ings Must be Moved as Airport is Crown Land -- Unsatisfactory "It does not make sense. People are in dire need and cannot get a roof over their heads," asserted Lt.- Col, R. B. Smith, President of the Oshawa Rehabilitation Council, dure ing a discussion at the Council's meeting on Thursday night, of the lack of action in securing buildings from the Oshawa Airport to ease the critical housing shortage in the city. Lt.-Col, Smith reported that he bad written letters during the sume mer to E, B. Reid, Director-of Public Relations, Department of Veterans Affairs, and W, E, N.

Although Mayor McCallum was assured by Hon. C. D. Howe in June that the lease for the buildings would be forthcoming within ten days, nothing further has been heard, it was pointed out. Buildings Must Be Moved The Rehabilitation Council was informed by W. R. Branch that all the buildings at the airport with the exception of the hangars and the recreation hall have been turne ed over to War Assets Corporation. Lt.-Col, Smith pointed out that it had been explained to Mayor Mc- Callum by the authorities at Otta-, wa that the buildings were on Crown land and so could not be oc~ cupied there, As the buildings vere of two-storey construction they could not easily be moved to the city.
