Government officials said today the Japanese govern- "ment collected the hug, from the Japanese pedple as a "desperate war financing measure, Apparently the intention was to sell the gems for foreign ex- change and purchase munitions 'and raw materials, , A War Department announce- 'ment said the gems are valued at between $20,000,000 and $25, £000,000. But experts with knowl- .edge of the Board said the Army undoubtedly was speaking con- servatively and of the New York wholesale price. In settings and "in the possession of individuals, they said, the value would be far greater, "They represent the entire dia- mond resourses of the whole na- tion," 'Edward Henderson of the Smithsonian Institution told a re- porter. "This undoubtedly is a situation unique in history. I know of no othér time when vir- tually every diamond owned by every individual in a nation was assembled at one place." The gems now are in vaults of the Bank of Japan in Tokyo. 'They were found buried and hid- den in many places of the Japan- ese Empire. ° It took two Americans, work- in; with four Japanese, five months to count and classify them, No famous individual diamonds turned up, and apparently none # from the Japanese Crown Jewels, The three heaviest weighed a to- tal of 100 carats, This compares with 106 carats for the famed 'Kohinor diamond of the British Crown Jewels.

An announcement here confirm- ed reports circulating since April when Lt.-Gen. J. F. Evetts came from Britain with a "rocket mis- sion" and surveyed prospective siteg for such a range. The Canberra announcement said that Gen. Evetts will return soon to lay the groundwork for the $20,~ 000,000 project to start out with rocket firing at limited distances and progress to experiments with guided long-range projectiles. First step will be the setting up of a 300-mile-long range, but the final testing area 200 miles wide will extend northwest from the fringe of the grazing lands in the State of South Australia across the windswept desert to the northwest coast at Pearling Centre, or Broome, and out toward Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, The range head will be located at Mount Eba, about four hundred air miles north of Adelaide on the edge of the southermost of 'a series of undulating red deserts which spread across central Australia, The projectiles, to be assembled and manufactured at Salisbury munitions plant near Adelaide, are expected to be aimed in the direc- tion of Broome and fly over the sandy wastes into which few people venture. Aboriginal wanderers who travel in the territory have been promised protection by the other, Up to 500 British and Australian scientists and workers are expect- ed to be employed at the range- head and a special township will be set up to accommodate them The munitions plant which will feed the range is the aged; in Australia. It was started in 1040 and cost nearly $20,000,000. Royal Commission Probes Ontario Milk Situation BEVERLEY MATTHEWS PROF. W. DRUMMOND C. H.

Jed when their ship, SCOTCH? . SURE, PLENTY --IN 1952 Toronto, 22-- (CP) ~8ir Derek British distilling company head, said here last night he could see no prospect of anything like a "normal supply" of scotch whisliy until at least 1952. Sir Derek wasn't talking about rationing but about the output from the distiller- ies in Britain, "Shortages of grain, bottles, coal and lab- or, combined with export dif- ficulties and gre:tly increas- 'ed demands, are prohibiting an increase of present allot- ments," he said. Brides Wait While Ship Is Patched London, Nov. 22 -- (CP Cable) -- Back in London after an fll-starred embarkation for Canada interrupt- the Empire Brent, collided with the cattle steamship Stormont Wednesday in Liverpool harbor, approximately 900 wives and children of former Can- adian servicemen today awaited word on prospects for a new sailing, likely within eight days. Disembarked at Liverpool where the Empire Brent went into dry dock for repairs, the dependents re- turned here last night in special trains and will spend the interval before the next sailing either in a London hostel or in their own homes, Reactions among the arrivals ranged from philosophical resigna- tion to suspicious bitterness. As they were transferred to fleets of buses waiting at stations here, the wives ran the gamut from tears to laughter. Those with children-- some had as many as four--were most fatigued, but managed smiles as Canadian soldiers and Canadian Red Cross Society personnel gath- ered around to help. Hot meals awaited the wives and children at two hostels hastily taken over. to provide temporary accom- modation. Those without the re- sponsibility of babies took a lighter view of the collision. From small beginnings, the fam- ily row had become a raging storm. The woman drew a long breath and addressed her husband: 'You're crazzy, you're worthless, you're shiftless, you're bad-temper. ed"--she paused for a final effort --'and youre a thorough liar!" "Well, my dear," said hubby, with a Soong smile, "no man is per- ect." Nov.

From Police Director F>rnand Dufresne came notice that he had dug up a long-forgotten city ordi- nance that night clubs, dance halls and so on stop all dancing and entertainment sharp at mid- night. And the law would be en- forced, A police spokesman said the change was to give people in the neighborhood of night spots a ckance to sleep. Two weeks ago police cracked down on cabarets wie all-night drinking trade flourished. Ine stead of dawn, they were told they'd have to stop serving drinks at the legal 2 a.m. The new order banning poste midnight music-making creates the anomaly of patrons being per- mitted to continue drinking in night clubs till 2 a.m.--but with= out floor show, dancing, or other entertainment, Some managers apparently were hopeful they would be able to get by with paying fines once or twice a month, Some of them said that for years they have re- ceived & summons every week for violating the Sunday no-dancing law, and each time had merely paid the fine and continued their Sunday dancing, ® Wagons © Bicycles © Jig Saws © Games © Skates © Drums ® Tricycles ® Toy Blocks © Toy Pistols ® Bob Skates . ® Milk Wagons © Kiddie Cars ® Fire' Trucks 2 © Rocking Chairs © Stuffed Owls © Tinker Toy Sets © Mechanical Cars ® Chemistry Sets © Teddy Bears © Plastic Tea Sets © Musical Blocks © Wooden Trunks © Ducks and Dogs © Kindergarten Sets ® Croquet Bets © Steam Engines .
