Fire Prevention The Hospital Board at last night's meeting reviewed the question of fire prevention and emergency measures in case of fire at the hos- pital and received reports' on this subject from Miss Bourne, the sup- erintendent of nurses, and J. W. Ca- vers, business administrator. These ee og Satis ar vor. ons were . wus precautions are being. taken.

The board author- fzed the installation of electric grates in the superintendent's quarters and the two common rooms, also Yale locks on all closet doors in the bedrooms. Mr. Beaton reported for the committee on fur- nishings and advised. that it would be necessary to place an order very soon in order to get delivery by the time the building was completed. Some new and specially designed types of furniture for a residence of this kind have been inspected and the committee was inclined to recommend same, ee e------ BLAZE FADES QUICKLY Firemen were called to 105 Court Street last night to investigate a fire, reported out of control, which was being used to heat sand on a covstruction job.

LIVES AFTER 3,500-FOOT FALL IN PLANE ' Fort William, Dec. 18 -- (CP) -- The age of miracles has not yet passed -- ask Walter Smith, office manager of a lumber com- pany here. Smith, who is a Javent in hospital now, fell feet in an lane Sunday and lived to tell the tale, The plane went out of control and from 1,500 feet down to the ground, he remembers mothing until he was crawling away from the wreck. Premier Won't Bow To Ottawa Toronto, Dec. 18--(CP)--The Fed- eral and Ontario leaders of the Progressive Conservative party, John Bracken and Premier Diew of Ontario--were both scheduled to speak this afternoon as meetings of the provincial associations continu- ed. They will address the women's division of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party. Keynote of the provincial policy at least was set forth in the speech Premier Drew made yesterday to the meeting of the Young Pro- gressive Conservative Association, when he told delegates of this divi- sion--mostly under 25 years of age --that so long as he heads the On- tario government there is not the slightest chance of Ontario signing any Dominion-provincial agreement "which would centralize power in the hands of an incompetent gov- ernment in Ottawa." Two-Year Term (Continued from Page 1) son Street, gave eviaence iu court this morming, ¥.C. Charles Stain- ton, said that while on patrol with Sgt. D, Foreman in the early mor- ning of October §, he had seen a man with a flashlight at the rear door of the house on the corner of Connaught and Mary Streets, 'I'he officers had stopped their car and after sending for reintorce- ments set guard at diagonal corn- ers of the block bounded by Hill- croft, Mary, Connaught an. Mas- son Streets. Apprehended Accused Det.-Sgt. Donald MacLellan, who had arrived later, told of ap- prehending the accused in a drive. way on the east side of Masson Street, after seeing a man come out beside house number 489. "I was on the driveway between numbers 467 and 473," he said, "when two men came running out, I grabbed the one "Rivers" and the other kind of fell over us and I grabbed him too." Rivers, he said, was wearing a pair of yellow pigskin gloves which he took off and dropped on the driveway where he was being held, The officer also identified a pair of pliers and a vest pocket flashlight which he said he had found on the driveway after the two men had béen taken to the police car, and a larger flashlight he had found on the ground be. hind house number 473. ! "Did you see me with those pli- ers or flashlight?" the accused asked the officer, "No, they were on the drive- way," he replied. Det.-Sgt. A, Alexander, who had been in the police cruiser when the men were apprehended, identified a screwdriver which he said he had found on Rivers, in an inside pocket. Sgt. Foreman told the court how he and P.C, Stainton had seen a man crossing Mary Street from the rear of the house on the corner of Connaught Street, and disappear among the houses on the west side of Mary Street. When asked by the accused if it could have been anyone but him, the officer replied he did not know who it was. Had Fixed Car Giving his explanation, Rivers said he had been coming to Osh- awa to visit his son on the night in question but before taking the bus had met a man in Toronto who asked him to fix his car, "So I got a screwdriver, a small flashlight and a pair of pliers and put them in my pocket," he said, adding that he was a mechanic by trade, Referring to a piece of flexible wire entered as an exhi- bit, he said he had also used it in connection with locating the trou- ble in the car, He had got the 11:30 bus to Oshawa, he said, and on arriving at about 1 a.m. met Fred Tough. Tough had lost his money 'and Rivers had promised to lend him some in the morning to take him to Toronto. Meanwhile they had decided to walk around until the first bus in Toronto in the morn- ing. He said they had started up Simcoe Street, stopping at the O. C.V.I, and had gone as far as Ross's Corners, "I decided there was no sense in walking around all night and suggested going to the house my son was building on Jarvis Street," he went on. They had started down Masson Street and it was here that Det.-Sgt. MacLellan had apprehended them, according to Rivers, declaring "I've been laying for you for years." ~ The accused said e didn't know anything about the other flash- light found by the pblice and that he had not been on Mary Street that night, "Why were you running when the police apprehended you?" Crown Attorney A, C. Hall asked the accused, "I wasn't running. If MaclLel- lan said that he jied," Rivers de- | clared; claiming that the officer "had been go nervous he couldn't blow his whistle." In passing judgment, His Hon- or sald he thought any man con- victed as often as the accused | on him, would have known that conduct of this kind would cast suspicion U.S.-China Backing ondemned Washington, Dec. 18 -- (AP) -- Republican Senator Ralph Flanders of Vermont and Democratic Sena- tor James Murray of Montana join- ed today in urging an international conference to seek a solution of China's internal strife, proposing that Gen. George C. Marshall pre side over the meeting which they said could be called within the framework of the United Nations. "The situation in China is criti cal," the Senators declared. "Wide- spread civil war threatens an in. definite period of chaos and de- struction." * "Representatives of all important political parties in China should be permitted to participate in th geov- ernment of China, and America, Russia and Britain, the most im- portant countries in China's for- eign relations, should declare them- selves out of Chinese politics." The Senators said "it is known" that Communist forces are not re- ceiving Russian supplies, although they are capturing United States army equipment from their oppon- ents. : "American supplies,' they sald, "have been identified in the eyes of all Chinese as the major factor in perpetuating a chronic and ine decisive civil war, As a further and inevitable consequence, a spreading tide of anti-American feeling is un- dermining the traditional friend- ship between the American and Chinese peoples." N.B. Milk Walkout Will Continue Saint John, N, B.,, Dec. 18--(CP) --Milk producer-suppliers for the Saint John area today continued their week-old strike for an increase in fluid milk prices, despite a state- ment by provincial Agriculture Min- ister A. C. Taylor last night that he did net consider the demands justi. fied at this time. The statement came after con- ferences in Fredericton between the minister, producers' representatives and the dairy products commission. Mr, Taylor said the farmers had reiterated '"de'initely" that an in- crease from $3.40 to $3.75 per hun- dredweight was required before milk shipments would be resumed. GM Output Hits Post-War 1 High Detroit, Dec. 18 (CP)--General Motors car division, seeking to speed up the completion of 1946 model production, achieved another post- war output mark last week with the assembling of 32,713 automo- biles in their United States plants, The previous weekly post-war production record was 31,993 achiev- ed in the week ending Nov, 23.

Toyko, Dec, 18--(CP)--Fresh details of Japanese atrocities up- on the fall of Hong Kong Dec, 25, 1941, including slaying and muti- lation of hospital patients and the raping of nurses, were presented today to the Allied war erimes tribunal by Capt. James iarnett of Quebec. Capt, Barnett was chaplain of the Royal Canadian Rifles, a Que- bec unit which formed part of the Canadian battalion which fought during the three-week siege of the British Far East outpos', The oth- er Canadian unit vas T Winni- peg Rifles. The Chaplain said Japanese soldiers came to St. Stevens. Col- lege Hospital on Christmas Day and began to bayonet all wounded ,soldiers who were unable to get out of bed. Four nurses told him they were raped repeatedly during the night. New Evidence Of Atrocities By Japs At Hong Kong Bared He said he found the bodies of 180 soldiers in the hospital, many mutilated and several "whose ears, noses and tongues had been cut away." 4 Canadian casualties in the ill. fated defence of Hong Kong by a British, Indian and Dominion. garrison were 1,689 prisoners captured, many of whom died then or subsequently in Japanese prison camps. Brutal beatings and tortures of prisoners of war were a daily oc- currence during Japanese occupa- tion of Hong Kong, charge more than a score of affidaviis introdu- ced today at the trial. They also said rations and medicines were scarce. : Japanese in charge of camps at Hong Kong rifled Red Cross pac- kages and stole supplies intended for starving British, other affida- vits declared. Labor Rebel Want Arms Policy Clear London, Dec. 18--(AP)--Richard H. 8, Crossman, a leader of last month's Labor rebellion in Parlia- ment against Foreign Secretary Be- vin's foreign policy, appealed- today for a "clear" government statement that Britain is "in no wise com- mitted to a military entente" with the United States, Oroseman, in a letter to The Times of London on thie eve of Be- vin's return from the Big Four council sessions in New York, re- iterated that there was a possible connection between peacetime con- scription in this country and pro- posals for a long range standardiza- tion of British and American arms. "But my main contention," Cross- man wrote, "is that an Anglo-Amer- ican entente, which many Ameri- cang ardently desire, so far from venting war, would make it more ely." C.R.A. Meets (Continued from Page 1) able, of being interesting as a per- son and in having acquired the wid- est and most diversified training possible. The speaker drew special attention to the importance of be- ing active and energetic since per- sonal enthusiasm is contagious and all other attributes are wasted if the potential leader is unable to use them to the fullest advantage and usefulness. The second half of the address dealt with some of the many attri- butes of a good leader and included such headings as a knowledge . of human behaviour, originality and willingness to experiment long hours and hard work, good prepar- ation, a definite far-sighted plan, willingness to keep accurate records and reports, a pleasing personality in spite of difficulties and disap- pointments, an understanding of the shortcomings of others etc. The speaker pointed out that being a leader made many demands upon both time and energy but the re- turn in satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment outweighed these expenditures if the person had a proper conception of what was most worthwhile in life and in human af- fairs. The second period of the meeting was spent in the discussion of the first sport in a series which will cover all the common games and competitive sports of which group leaders should have a good working knowledge. Tennis was considered from such angles as, object of the game, equipment required, number of participants, its value as a sport, size of court, main playing rules, method of scoring, etc, Method of conducting a panel discussion was demonstrated during the third and final period of the evening. A really fine example of proper technique was presented us- ing as the subject, "Relative Merits of Rugby, Hockey and Basketball as Competitive Sports." Al Reddoch spoke for Hockey; Bill Dell spoke for Rugby and Wilmer Crawford spoke for basketball: Captain Cole- man acted as Chairman for the dis- cussion giving the leading questions and steering the remarks, but found his task an easy one as the three experts warmed to their subject. Discussion was kept centred around four main aspects of the three com- petitive sports namely, amount and degree of training required for par- ticipation, their appeal to both par- ticipants and spectators, danger of injury and conditions that affect greater participation in, and enjoy ment of each of the three. On this latter point, it was generally agreed that both hockey and basketball were suffering, in Oshawa, from lack of enough playing accommo- dation; rugby was being limited by costs of equipment among younger teams. Ivan Richards gave the critical summary at the end of the panel discussion and Captain Coleman complimented Wilmer, Al and Bill for the expert way in which they had demonstrated this compara- Yea little-used method of discus- sion. Before adjourning, the next meet- ing of the course was announced for Panuary 7, and Mrs, Ford, matron of the Children's Residence was thanked for her kind hospitality for the past three meetings, The course is open to all leaders or prospective leaders of groups in the city apd district who wish to enlarge their experience or improve their training. Special emphasis is being placed on the general prin- ciples of good leadership with mem- hers of the class being given an op- portunity to participate in the act- ual arrangements and discussion of the course. CURE FOR STUTTERING As late as the 19th century, it was believed that stuttering could be relieved with surgery. GM Policy (Continued from Page 1) market" by the steadily mounting retail charges. They do not like to think about what further price increases might do to the 1947 and 1948 market for automobiles particularly those in what formerly was the "low- price' field. This bracket, which in normal times accounts for up to 80 per cent of the industry's volume, reportedly already has begun to feel the effects of large order withdrawals. In some industry sources Gen- eral Motors' recent cancellation of orders for 1948 model dies is seen as laying the pattern for the in- dustry's strategy for the next two years, As these sources view ft, this contemplates sustaining the demand for lower priced cars by avoiding any engineering or de- sign advances that would add to their cost, Withholding the changes origi- nally planned for 1948 models was the only way, said these au- thorities, that a runaway upsurge in prices for the less expensive models could avoided. 5 considered significant in this con- nection that in disclosing the tool and die cancellation, General Mo- tors president C, BE. Wilson said the action would affect Chevrolet, Pontiac and Oldsmobile; no men- tion was made of Buick and Ca- dillae. If the assumptions {in industry circles prove correct nothing more than '"'face-lifting'"' changes again will be in prspect for cars in the lower-priced brackets, while alter- ations may be made in the upper- middle and higher priced models. Autqmotive experts figure that General Motors' cancellation or tool and die work for most of its 1948 models effected a saving of about $60,000,000 in next year's budget. Other manufacturers can make good use of similar savings; there will be no excess profits tax cred- its to offset losses next year, C.1.O. Heads (Continued from Page 1) had opposed a move to bar foremen and office workers from the plant. Watson told crown attorney E. C. Awrey he could not say for sure! whether automobiles were not al- lowed in the plant. "I believe they were asked to park across the street." Mr. Awrey countered: "Like a jailer asking a prisoner to come out of his cell." Major James H. Clark defence counsel: "Or like police taking 'vol- untary statements.' " Harry Rooney, one of the accus- ed, testified the strike hinged on dismissal of an employee whom the union believed should be reinstated. Some weeks before June 18 strike action had been suggested but he and MacLean had averted it. In cross-examination, MacLean emphasized that the union member- ship was the "highest authority." Mr. Awrey: "To be perfectly fair «+ +» « you didn't know you were com- mitting an illegal act to keep these people (foremen and office workers) out?" MacLean: "They were asked not to go to work but to help support the strike." The strike was ed by three officials, one of them testified yes- terday, MacLean said "I told the men it was unwise to take a strike vote but to let negotians continue." + Similar stands had been taken by George Burt, the other accused, Canadian U.W.A. director, and Harry Rooney. MacLean said he had told plant workers "we were not instructed as leaders of the union to advise a strike at Chrysler's at that time (last June)." membership had called him a' 'pork- chopper" which, he told the court, meant "yellow." After the strike started June 18, he said, there had been union- management discussions about per- mitting foreman to work inside the plant clearing debris left by a tor- 'nado the day previous, "Mr. Burt and I explained about these matters--that as far as the foremen were concerned, we felt they should go back to work as they couldn't make cars," he said. Robert S. Bridge, vice-president and general works manager of the plant at that time, earlier had said foremen had been prevented from entering the works. / "Power in the .union rests with the membership, doesn't it?" asked defence counsel Maj. H. Clark. Mr. Bridge replied: "I don't know, we did business with the top men." Allan F. McDonald, Chrysler di- rector of public relations, said he was barred from his office July 16.

Nuptials Not Before U.K. Cabinet London, Dec. 18 -- (CP) -- Prime Minister Attlee and his Cabinet have not been consulted about an engagement for Princess Elizabeth, an official source said today, and as a result the rumors that she will marry Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark must be regarded as pre- mature, Under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 -- passed to guard against undesirable marriages that might affect the succession to the Throne -- no member of the Royal Family may marry without permission of The King, and The King as a con- stitutional monarch acts only with the advice of his ministers. An exception is made for mem- bers of the Royal family who are 26 or older. They may marry with out consent, provided they give the Privy Council a year's notice and Parliament, during that year, does not disapprove of the marriage. Princess Elizabeth will not be 21 until next April. The government sources said he had been assured 'very recently" by Admiral Lord Mountbatten, Prince Philip's uncle, that there was "nothing to" the report of an en- gagement -- although Lord Mount- batten has been described by other sources as strongly favoring his nephew's marriage to the future Queen, If there were any "political ob- Jections" to the Princess' choice of a husband, the Cabinet certainly would express opposition, the in- formant said. Some sharp -objec- tions to Prince Philip as Royal Con- sort have been voiced in left-wing circles on the ground that he would form a link with the Greek Royalist government, However, the handsome, 25-year- old Prince, soon to become a Brit- ish subject, has been defended by a number of left-wing Labor Mem- bers of Parliament, and the press recently has printed a series of pic- tures and stories pointing up his English background and his lack of any direct connection with Greek politics. Six Insane Army Lifers Escape Phoenixville, Pa., Dec. 18 -- (AP) -- Six criminally-insane army life- term prisoners who forced a window to escape from Valley Forge Gen- eral Hospital eluded capture in eastern Pennsylvania today. casts to help by reporting immedi- ately any trace of the men, They warned the men were dangerous and should be approached with caution. Heavily armed and equipped with torchlights, civilians and military police searched densely wooded sec- tions and lonely country lanes in the hospital vicinity after the escape was reported shortly before last midnight, But there was no trace of the fugitives or any clue as to the dir- ection in which they fled.

He'd Give 'Life' To 'Witnesses' Quebec, Dec. 18--(CP)--Witness- Recorder Jean Mercier, in fining a member of the sect $10 and costs, said the sentence was "at least 100 times too lenient" and, if permitted, he would give sentences. of life im- prisonment to every member of the court. John Maynard How, found guilty of disturbing the peace, announced through his counsel an appeal would be filed in Superior Court. Recorder Mercier termed the members of the sect "Witnesses of Falsehood" and "Anarchists and en- emies of the state and established government."

Friend declared today in a warning to motorists, who plan on mixing Christmas celebrating with their driving. "Drunk drivers during the Christ mas season will be dealt with the same as at any other time," Chief Friend emphasized. Since drunk driving was such a hazard, no spe- cial considerations could be granted because of the season, he said. Police Chief Friend hadn't heard of any organization of éxperienced sober drivers, who could be hired cut to drive cars of those planning to drink. "Nothing like that around Oshawa yet," Chief Friend remark- ed. Ottawa Hospital Increases Rates Ottawa, Dec, 18-----(CP)~--Trus- tees of the Ottawa Civic Hospital have authorized a general In- crease in rates ranging rom $1.60 to $2 dally, effective Jan, 1. Ris- ing operating costs of wages, food and general hospital supplies made the boost necessary, Rates for private rooms will be increased from $6 to $8 dally and semi-private from $3.50 to $5. A new 'classification--semi-public-- also was created, This would cov- er patients accommodated in large wards and attended by their own doctors, The charge will be $4 daily. NO CONCLUSIVE PROOF Finding no conclusive proof of ownership, Magistrate F. S. Ebbs dismissed a charge against Mrs. Mary Hopkins, 111 Thomas Street, of allowing a female dog to run loose while in heat. "Although she may have attended to the dog at various times, there is no evidence that the animal ever really belong- eo ig the woman," Magistrate Ebbs said. GAY SEEKS ELECTION A most unfortunate error was made in the cut lined announcing the candidature of Ald. Cephas B. Gay for the 1947 City Council in yesterday's issue. The letter "C" instead of "G" was used in his name by mistake. MUST SIT ON JURY London--(CP)--Frank Roll, who said he was a preacher of the Gos- pel, lost his application to avoid jury service despite his comment: "To sit on a jury to condemn others is "Mothers had protested that sing- | contrary to the teachings of Jesus who says 'As ye forgive your tres- passers even so will the Father for- give you." British Plot Overthrow Of Franco London, Dec. 18---(AP)--An authoritative government source said today that members of the British diplomatic mission to Spain had been "examining the possibility" of whether a coalition government could be established in Spain to replace the Franco regime and carry on until eleet- fons could be held. The source, who declined to be quoted by name, said the examin- ation included talks with repre- sentative groups of - Spaniards ranging from "the right-wing cen- | trists to the left-wing centrists.'"
