Nov, 20--(AP)--The Communist-dominated government bloc took a wide early lead over the opposition today In first returns from Romanian parliamentary elec- tion, as each side accused the other of irregularities, ) 'Returns from five prefectures gave the government bloc 15,522; the National Peasant Party, 41,285; dependent Socialists, 1514; the Magyar Popular Union, 63,974, and the National Peasant Democrats, 9,483. No calculations were available of the number of seats won in these prefectures. The Interior Ministry estimated that from 90 to 95 per cent of the country's 8,000,000 voters had parti- cipated in the balloting yesterday. The United States military mis- sion in Bucharest was picketed last night after 5,000 Romanian citizens appeared to protest that their names had been omitted from the voting register, Brig.-Gen, Court- land van Rensselaer Schuyler, head of the Mission, who. identified the pickets as supporters of Prémier Petru Groza's Communist-dominat- ed government, protested the pick- Polish Vets (Continued from Page 1) vice-president of the Polish War Veterans Association of Oshawa, The veterans, ranging in age from 24 to 40, have all had previous farming experience and Employ- ment Service officials allotted them to the farms for which it was felt they were best suited.

Many of the men said they hoped to have their families come here some time, There were others who had not yet had any word from their relatives in Poland. Besides those in their native Poland, some different parts of Africa. Within an hour after their are rival, interviews had been- held by Employment Service officials and each man had left for his mew home with the farmer to whom he had been assigned. Cat Stumps Navy In Tree Episode Esquimalt, B.C,, Nov. 20--(CP)-- It took an admiral, a chimney sweep, the Navy fire department, S.P.C.A, and lots of moral persua- sion to convince an altitude-loving cat that its proper place was on a hearthrug before a fire instead of being "up a tree" here, First seen Monday the Tabby was 50 feet up a tree, too much for a chimney sweep to reach with his gear. Captain James Barr, of the S.P.C.A. then was notified. He called Rear Admiral E. Mainguy, com- manding officer of the Naval bar- racks. The Admiral quickly dis- patched the Navy fire department with ladders. Tabby was reached but made a record high jump out of rescuers' arms and went further up the tree. The Navy called a truce, pondered the problem overnight and went back Tuesday with the result that the family pet of W. H. Walker again is purring in its favorite spot before the fireplace, content with thwarting the might of the Royal Canadian Navy for one whole night. Reginald G. Geen . . .

Press Hits At Labor 'Rebels' London, Nov, 20 -- (CP Cable) ~-- Back-bench Labor Members of Parliament who staged a "revolt" in the House of Commons Monday against the government's foreign olicy have received a verbal spank- ng from most London newspapers. Phrases such as "muddled mu- tiny--rebels routed--a confused de- bate" were liberally sprinkled in editorial comment. The Independent Times of Lon- don editorially noted that the 382- to-0 vote against the rebels' amend- ment was a decisive enough victory but was "not quite the resounding defeat of rebellious critcis" that the government hoped for. i In its news columns, The Times commented: "Yesterday was not a good day for the government." Lord Beaverbrook's Conseryative Dally Express ran a streamer head- line which sald: "Rebels Qut For a Duck," and in its editorial columns The Express sald the country as a whole "has little sympathy with those who abstain from voting after making a demonstration calculated to undermine the government's authority, On the arguments produced . , . the government was entitled to a still more substantial victory." The Liberal Manchester Guardian declared that the revolt "ended in the ignominy of a division from which the critics ran away," The Guardian noted that the rebels "were willing to stage an attack" on Foreign Secretary Bevin during his absence in New York "at a criti. cal point in international discus sions," and added: "They had not the courage to press an attack that has done en- ormous harm to its logical conclu- sion. It is an episode in which they have not shone." The Conservative Yorkshire Post and the Cardiff Western Mall termed the revolt "a fiasco." Reserve Decision Insurance Case To November 25 Judgment in the case of William Knox of Brougham, charged with making a false statement to the Unemployment Insurance Commis sion, was reserved until November 25 by Magistrate F. 8S. Ebbs in court this morning, after evidence by both sides had been given, and arguments heard. The evidence showed that Wil- liam Knox made application for un- employment insurance during a week in March when he was run- ning the post office in Brougham and receiving money for it from the government, J. P, Mangan, K.C., for the de- fence, brought out the fact that Mr, Knox received his appointment as postmaster in February, 1946, but had given the money to his wife who was actually running the place, according to Mr. Knox. . The latter sald he had bought a store and got the appointment as postmaster in that store for his son who was returning from overseas and that he himself had not been working steadily there. He spent a good deal of his time on the farm of another son helping him get es- tablished, A statement which Mr, Knox made to one of the unemploy- % | ment agents revealed he was willing to repay anything he had received beyond his due, but added, he had not thought about mentioning the post office job to the Commission when he 'got it, Ralph A, Wallace, for the insur ance commission, brought forth sev- eral documents to prove that the accused had accepted money from the post office department for run- ning the post office, had applied for insurance during the week in question and had signed a state- ment admitting doing so. There were originally five charges against Mr. Knox regarding false statements, but one had been dis- missed by the court previously, while' the other three had been withdrawn at the request of the 4 prosecution.

Ottawa, Nov, 20--(CP) -- Youth workers from all parts of Canada will assemble here Nov, 30 for the first national conference of agencies service youth, Keynote of the two-day session will be "planning for youth welfare," It is sponsored by the Canadian Youth Commission, - "It ls the first time such a con- ference has been held in the Do- reaching results from the discus- sions," E. R. McEwen of Ottawa, assistant director of the Commis- sion sald today. The Commission, organized in 1943, has as its aim the promotion of ways and means for Canadian youth to make its way successfully, The urgent problem facing the Commission is the number of jobs available in post-war Canada, dir- ector R, E. G, Davis sald, The sessions here will be presided over by Dr, Sidney Smith, president of the University of Toronto and chairman of the Commission, He will open the first general session with an address on "AR Interpreta- tion of the Canadian Youth Con- ference and Its Work." Mr, Justice R. L. Kellock of the Ontario Court of Appeal will be chairman at a discussion on "Plan- ning for Youth on the National Level." The Conference concludes Dec. 1 with a general session to discuss the setting up of some type of or- ganization to carry continuous re- ommendations of the meeting. Bilton Appeal (Continued from Page 1) September last, acted for the Crow: in the appeal. The appeal was heard by Chief Justice Robertson and Justices Fish- er, Henderson, Hope and Higg. Tuesday's Session The argument that a degree of provocation existed and that this point had not been brought out in the trial judge's charge to the jury, was advanced before court of appeal yesterday in the appeal of George Bilton, who is to hang De- cember 10 for the Ajax murder of Mrs, Teresa Laurie, Louis Isaacs, counsel for the appellant, claimed that the prosecution had painted Bilton as a man bent.on murder, or murderous tendencies. Councel contended that the man's character was not in issue, and that the trial judge erred in admitting certain evidence against the accused, No Provocation Chief Justice Robertson told Mr, Isaacs that there was no evidence of porvocation or excuse for com- mitting "what looks to me to be a very deliberate, brutal killing," The fact that, by his own admission, Bilton strangled the woman and then dropped a stone four times on her head was not evidence of any passion, the Chief Justice declared. Myr, Isaacs argued that the trial judge should not have allowed the case to go to the jury after the Crown's summing up. He described the summation as "somewhat in- flammatory." The jury was told of two alternatives, guilty or not guilty, but was not informed that a verdict of manslaughter could be 'brought in if they believed the facts war- | ranted such a finding. "I can't see the relevancy of the argument in the lignt of the confes- sions," said Mr, Justice Hope, Murder or Manslaughter "Isn't this what you are suggest- ing," observed Mr. Justice Hender- son to counsel, "The whole question is whether it was murder or man- slaughter, not that the killing was not done, but that it was brought on by provocation. You are saying that the evidence pictured him as being a man of such character as likely to commit murder, and this prejudiced his chance of conviction for manslaughter." "Yes, My Lord, that is my con- tention," replied counsel. Pressed to produce any trial evi- dence dealing with provocation, counsel said he had not come pre- pared to argue on this point, though there was a reference to Mrs, Laurie's threat to go to the authori- ties and tell about a baby born at Cobourg. He submitted that the de. fense was based on provocation, and that the judge's charge should have included all refeences to this point, Authorize Pay Raise At Stelco Hamilton, Nov, 20--(CP)--The 13- cents-an-hour wage increase for employees of the Canada Works, Steel Company of Canada, who were on strike for 81 days this past sum- mer, has received the formal auth- ority of the Ontario Regional War Labor Board, Eamon Park, inter- national representative of the Unit- ed Steelworkers of America (CIO) said last night in a radio address.
