Fol- lowing the attack, the Queen Elizabeth completed her voyage to Suez unhindered and debark- ed 11,300 troops for the desert campaign, Redskins' Peace Pipe Duluth, Minn, -- (AP) -- The Minnesota Chippewa Indians have laid aside their pipe of peace and decided to seek United Nations' Aid in the restoraton of their '"sover- eign rights" to hunt, fish an trap as of old. The action was taken by tribal leaders as they gathered at the Fond Du Lac Reservation council ¢hember for their annual pow-wow. Chieftains pointed out that the Chippewas held sufficient sover- eignty tp claim protection of U.N. as an "oppressed nation," citing that the United States had always dealt with them by treaty.

First of the more important Bri- tish terminal markets to resume activities, the London Exchange handled the bulk of world rubber trading in the days before govern- ment bulk purchasing, which has ended, became general, Resumption of rubber trading was applauded by the Financial Times as "one of the most welcome signs yet vouchsafed to us that, in time, London (and Britain) may be permitted to regain some of their eminance in international com- merce." ~ Ford-Union Accord On Health Hazard Detroit, Nov. 19. -- (AP)-- Ford Motor Co., employees ap- proved a company-union agree- ment that health hazard disputes will be 'negotiated, averting dan- ger of a strike at the company's huge Rouge plants.

Textile Workers' Rate 23% Over Basic Welland, Nov. 19.-- (CP)--Em- ployers of the H. S. Peters Divis- fon of National Textiles V.imited, here have been granted sr 14.2 per cent increase In wages, it is announced, With the latest in- crease the employees will receive a rate 23 per cent cbove basic piece work rates set by the United Garment Workers of A. erica. The increase is retroactive Sept. 9, to Stress Need For Everyone Making Out Proper Will Tracing the history of the laws lish system, Kenneth H. McDiarmid, of testation in the Eng- speaker at the Rotary Club luncheon yesterday, urged that for purposes of economy, convenience and "directive justice," every person should make a proper will. Rotarian "Ken", who is a mem ber of the club in Whitby where he is practising law, was intioduced by Rotarian Ken Knowles, The speaker pointed out that while in the Anglo-Saxon period individuals had full powers of tes- tation--although there was nothing much one could leave then but his chattels--this changed with the Norman conquest in 1066. King Owned All Land The principle brought by William the Conqueror with the traditions of French feudalism was that the King owned all the land. He allot- ted it to barons--either through pet- ty sergeantry or knight's service-- and they in turn gave it out to their copyholders. If the copyholder died | without heirs his land reverted to the lord. In the old Common Law Courts, he explained, it was possible to ob- tain writs for certain causes. Event. ually the courts of equity were in- stituted to soften the harsh laws of the Common Law courts, and about the 16th century, the Wills Act was passed, allowing a limited amount of testation. Certain Limitations Going on to the modern law of wills, Mr. McDiarmid pointed out that there are still certain limita- tions on an individual's powers of - testation, Except in the case of charities, a man can't tie up his money for ever, Also it is forbidden to leave money for an anti-social purpose, for an illegal purpose or to provide for some nonsensical scheme--such as the man who left his money with instructions to have statues made of himself and dis- tributed all over Edinburgh. By the Dependents Relief Act, a man is obliged to make adequate provision for his wife and family. Most important, too, is the matter of succession duties, it being possi- ble to avoid these through bequests to charity, In cosclusion, Mr, McDiarmid re- mindéd his listeners to put their wills away in a per place once they had made it. He cited the ex- ample of the woman who carried her will around her neck so it would be sure to be found at the time of her death--but unfortunately she burned to death and the wil} also. Visitors at the luncheon were Rotarian John Ferguson of Toron- to, Major Harry Millen of Oshawa, Rotarian H. R. Brown of Moncton, NB, and Richard Sonley of Regina.

'Operation Sea Lion' 'Was A Confirmed Flop London, Nov. 19 (CP Cable)--An ambitious Hitler or- dered an invasion blueprint for Britain in July, 1940, but the cross-channel drive by a projected attacxing force of 25 | divisions never was attempted because Germany's air might failed to ground the R.A.F. The full story of Hitler's *"op-@---- eration Sea Lion" an invasion plan widely rumored in Britain to have been attempt. . in Septem- ber, 1940, was told officially for the first time in The House of Commons Monday as Prime Mini- ster Attlee said there is '"'no evi- 'dence" that German forces "ever left harbor as a fleet to invade this country." Mr, Attlee's statement, in the form of a written Parliamentary reply, acknowledged it was "widely believed" in Britain-that an invasion took place because 36 German bodies were washed up on England's south coast and be- cause an "invasion imminent" signal was flashed to certain commands Sept. 7, 1940. The 'statement, which said Hit- ler had so little faith in the pro- posed invasion that he postponed it five times between Aug. 1, 1940 and the spring of 1942, confirmed a report by Ross Mun- ro, a war correspondent for The Canadian Press, (In a Berlin dispatch Sept. 25, 1945, Munro outlined "Sea Lion" plans to strike Britain in 1940 at an area held by the joint British-- Canadian 7th Corps, then com- manded by Gen, A. G. L. Mec- Naughton. "An attack in that area would have involved Canadian troops there within a day or so of land- ing," said Munro). . - Mr. Attlee said Hitler planned to, land two armies between Folkestone and Worthing, - with the initial bridgehead to be form- ed by 10 divisions within four days. A vital preliminary t» "Sea Li- on" was to have been an all-out air offensive by the Luftwaffe. Destruction of the R.A.F. in the air and on the ground and demo- lition of ports, communications, food storage depots and aircraft production were planned. The battle of Britain squelch- ed that hope. The R.A.F. spoiled the stage-setting and the opera- tion was postponed, then cancel- led. 2 YEARS, STRAP, POR OFFENCE Brockville, Noy. 19.--(CP)-- Cecil Chant, 30, of nearby Lyn, has been sentenced to two years in penitentiary and. given five strokes of the strap for an of- fence against a young girl, e Say No Red Robes For Stepinac Vatican City, Nov. 19.--(Reu- ters)--Vatican sources have de- nied Moscow Radio reports that a special Christmas Consistory of the College of Cardinals would be held at which Arch-Bishop Alo- jzije Stepinac of Yugoslavia would be elevated to the rank of Cardinal. Moscow Radio, quoting "Rome journalistic circles," said the Pope planned to appoint at such a Consistory five new Car- divals, among them the Yugoslav Archbishop who is under a 16- year-prison sentence on war crime charges pronounced by a People's Court in Crotia. ---------- EXTEND any Kingston, Nov. --Authoriza- tion for the calling of tenders for the extension to the Kingston Pub- lic was given at a meeting yesterday of the building committee and later of the Library Board.

FOOD CONVOY FOR ALASKA SET T0 ROLL Edmonton, Nov. 18--(CP)--About 200 truck drivers from Dawson Creek in northern British Columbia to Fairbanks, Alaska, were available today to rush urgently needed food supplies northward as the federal government released Canadian flour for Alaska residents, : E. 8. Patton of Fairbanks said 14,000 pounds of flour was "ready to roll" at Dawson Creek immediately final clearance permits could be ob- tained. Last night federal authorities at Ottawa - said the permit to move flour to Alaska was issued yesterday, The amount released was not made own. 9 An additional supply of flour is expected to be moved by rail from Edmonton to Dawson Creek, some 470 miles to the northwest, then 1,719 miles by truck over the Alaska highway to Fairbanks. Yesterday Mayor A, H. Nordale of Fairbanks said 100 tons of flour and the same amount of meat was needed." He said the flour supply in the north was expected to run out within three days. Mr. Patton estimated it would require about one week to move the flour to Alaska and distribute it to residents facing a food shortage as a result of an American maritime tie-up. It is believed that fewer than 50 trucks would be required to freight foodstuff to Alaska. Truckers gen- erally prefer to travel in groups of two or three trucks -- especially when the highway is covered with Snow. Edmontoon packing plants are understood to have informed Mr, Patton that they can supply him with large quantities of meat im- mediately arrangements are made to overcome rationing difficulties. RED OR BLUE? KILT PEEKER WONDERED New York, Nov. 19--(CP)--An .officer from Toronto's Irish Re- giment of Canada--only kilted Irish regiment in the Common- wealth--stood denling over a ki Sams in G drinking Central Station. .

Walker, popular playboy mayor of New York City during the gaudy, glittering era of the late '20s, died last night and to- day millions in the city he loved mourned his passing. A blood clot on the brain caus- ed his death at 65 in Doctor's Hospital in Manhattan, most fa- bulous borough of the city over whose affairs he presided for sev- en turbulent years. Mr, Walker, one of NeW York's most spectacular and best-liked mayors, entered the hospital ear- I; Sunday and remained in a co- ma until his death some 34 lLours later. The last rites of the Roman Catholic Church were administer- ed Sunday. Versatile, dapper Jimmy Wal- ker kept the city in the ilmelight while he was mayor in the wan- ing years of the prohibition per- fod, from 1926 until 1932. Then he resigned his office in the midst of an inquiry into the conduct of his administration, At the time of his death he headed Majcstic Records, Inc., a music concern, At the bedside when the end came were a sister, Mrs, Nan Walter Burke; her two sons, Luke and Paul; another nephew, William Walker, Jr., and his per- '| sonal physician, Dr. S. Sym New- man. Mr. Walker dabbled in song writing before he embarked on a legal career and went on'into po- litics, During his Tin Pan Alley days, he wrote the popular hit, "Will You Love Me in December as You Do in May?" ' He left New York under a cloud in 21932 while a judicial in- vestigation into his regime at City Hall was under way. But three years later he returned. Receptions he received at public affairs showed the city had taken him back to its heart. Suave and debonair, with a keen and flashing wit, Mr. Walk- er was proverbially late for ap- pointments. But he once declar- ed: "I've never been late for a meal or a good time." Canada -- U.S.S.R.

John Locke, 60 Osborne Street, Toronto, was con= tacted by Oshawa police after friends, whom she knew when she lived in Oshawa in her youth, saw the story in the paper and informed police. Mrs. Locke, whose maiden name was Margaret Sharon, lived in Oshawa with her four brothers for most of her childhood, before going to Toronto to work and eventually to marry.
