I picked out the closest lake and made an approach for a quick landing. Just as I came down over the treetops, the engine conked out. It was a powerless landing but everything mess was all that kept me alive." The second day, the officer de- cided to leave the little red mono- plane and the area. He walked five miles to another lake end came across an abandoned trapper's cabin, The only food he found in the cabin was a mouldy loaf of bread. But it provided sustenance for the husky, 230-pound officer for nearly two days, Also in the shack was a battery- operated radio left behind by the trapper. He took the radio off the shelf, flipped the switch and found the set was in working order. But the radio, besides keeping him entertained, added to his wor- ries. Through its loudspeaker, at 15-minute intervals, came a series of appeals to residents of the area to notify police if they heard an aircraft flying north of Larder Lake. Walker knew he was northwest of the mining town. The search was going the wrong way! But the flying policeman bedded down for the night, more comfort- able in the cabin than he had been the previous night among the torn cushions of his aircraft. "That second t wasn't too bad," he said. "I t in the cabin and started a fire to me warm, I was plenty hungry, though." At 10 o'clock this morning, Jack: Lamont, who had searched almost continuously through the daylight hours since Walker disappeared, took off for another low sweep over the rocky, tree-studded around Larder Lake. Near Lake Clarice he saw a small red plane in hte middle of a lake and he knew his search was over. As Lamont circled low over the aircraft, he saw that it was empty. There were no tracks in the snow but that didn't worry Lamont be- cause he knew a storm had drifted the snow. Five miles beyond the grounded plane, Lamont spiéd a man on the shore of a lake. He had found 'Walker even before the constable heard the throb of the rescue plane's engine. Lamont set his ski-equipped Aer- onca down on the ice of the lake, picked up Walker and whisked him back to Larder Lake. PLAN FERTILIZER FACTORY Sindri, India -- (CP) -- A large factory capable of an annual pro- duction of 300,000 tons of fertilizer from ammonia sulphate is to be fitted out at Sindri. Most of the necessary plant has been ordered from Britain at a value of nearly £2,500,000 ($10,000,000). Malpas, Moamouthshire -- (CP) -- During King's Lynn's "forgive- ness week" a book loaned by the local public library six years ago was returned, bY | cheed prod House- able before noon; in the afternoon most butcher shops had bare shel- Ves. Butchers blamed it on farmers withho livestock from the mark- et. Other said that snow-blocked roads prevented normal shipments. 8till others said that the big meat packing chains were cutting down on purchases and that cattle killed in the Toronto yards were going to outside purchasers. On the Toronto livestock market however there were re- of 1,100 cattle, 320 calves, 1,000 hogs and 400 sheep and lambs, al but 100 head of cattle A break-down of cattle purchases showed Canada Packers taking 268, Swift Canadian 211, Hunnisett's, large local firm, 73. Local butchers purchased 284. That accounted for 836 of the 1,000 sold. . The rest went to out-of-town buyers. Spokesmen for the Prices Board at Ottawa sald they thought the situation arose from the seasonal practice of farmers keeping live- stock off the market during the Christmas and New Year's holiday period when poultry sales are high. A Toronto butcher said that farm- ers had nothing to lose by keeping their livestock until later in th month. J All seemed to be agreed that the shortage was temporary. But in the meantime it was a problem not only here but at such places as Windsor, where the same conditions existed, and at scattered communi- ties all over the province. One expert in the trade said "The show-down will come when the public gets badly pinched, as is al- most certain to happen." This one claimed reluctance of big packers to raise their bids was a cause. Milk Strike Is Hinted Toronto, Jan. 8. --(CP)--Hints at a possible milk strike in Ontario were heard today at the annual meeting of the Ontario Cheese Pro- ducers' 'Association. Edgar Drew, of Moscow, Ont., said ucers should seek co-op- eration of whole milk producers in withholding fluid milk from the market if a strike was decided on as a means of enforcing price de- ori. B Reynolds, "ds B: , editor of the Ontario Milk Producer, eaid there 'is always one way to get a price for a uct and that is to hold back a uinoliy until the cus- mer ng to pay the price." This was a "last desperate mea- sure" but that it was logical that un price is the cost of produc- 75 To Gather At So-ed Meet Brantford, Jan. 8--(OP)--More than 75. delegates from 14 Ontario and the United States are expected here Saturday to attend a two-day meeting of the Ontario youth council so-ed conference.

Wilson Elected Cannington Reeve In the results of the municipal elections in Ontario County munici- palities carried in yesterday's issue of The Times-Gazette, an error was made in the returns for the village of Cannington. There Garnet C. Wilson defeated J. E. McDonald by a vote of 249 tc 170 in the contest for reeve instead of the reverse as stated in yester- day's paper. An entire new council was elected for the village, R. M. Carter, W. C. Livingstone, Garnet Woodward ana Hugh A. Wilson. General Marshall (Continued from Page 1) peace treaties would be complete by then, When the treaties were not finished in mid-1946 Byrnes agreed with Mr. Truman to see the job through. It was finished in early December and on the 19th Byrnes restated his desire to quit effective Jan. 10 or as soon as his successor was qualified. Accepting the resignation, the President gave his old friend a "well done" and "the thanks of the nation" for the achievements of his long public career. The only one of the central fig- ures who had nothing whatever to sa; for the moment was Marshall himself. He was somewhere over the Western Pacific, flying home from 13 arduous months in Chi- na, where he had been trying in vain to promote peace between the Nationalists and Communists, Marshall planned a three-day stop in Honolulu, then a flight to Washington late next week. Meantime Mr. Truman was ex- pected to send his nomination to the Senate promptly, The chorus of approving comment from that quarter assured its speedy and enthusiastic approyal. Marshall's first major task, all authorities agreed, will be to equip himself through intensive work over the next few weeks for the ° big-four foreign ministers meetings at Moscow March 10 to begin work on the German and were Austrian peace settlements.

He killed veteran detective John McCarthy, 63, and wounded detective John Connors in the eg before Connors and detective Floy Cartlidge fatally shot him and John F. Quirk, 30, Toledo. Quirk carried a registration card issued in London, Ont. The gun battle occurred while Monnett, Quirk and a woman police identified as Miss La Rue Burd, 23 Toledo, were sitting in the back of a police car in which they were being taken to headquarters from & bar. They were taken into custody after the clylc centre restaurant operators told police they had ate tempted to pass a bad cheque. The woman was found after the shooting, whieh occurred near the police staticn, huddled in a door. way. As the automobile headed down Jackson Street, Cartlidge related, Monnett suddenly said: "You guys stop this car or I'll shoot all of you." Connors stopped the car and jumped out along with Cartlidge, but McCarthy reached for his pistol, turned and was shot in the chest. Connors, from the left side of the vehicle, and Cartlidge, from behind a car in a gasoline station, opened fire, killing both Monnet and Quirk, Connors was wounded in the exchange. Police said an empty German type automatic was found in Mon» nett's hand. Quirk had no gun. Tobermory (Continued from Page 1) the trip from Wiarton to Tobermory since Dec, 27. Usually two buses a day cover the route. A spokesman for the bus com- pany said that from now on the line probably would run one bus a day until road conditions improved, although additional service might be grovided over part of the dis- tance. Fred Morrison drove: the out- bound bus. It was expected he would catch up with the two four-wheel- drive plows later in the day and follow them into Wiarton, When the snowplow operators reached here at daybreak, they sald high winds during the night had drifted snow into the road opened by their equipment. Arrival of the snowplows ended 13 days of virtual isolation for To- bermory, which guards the southern end of the water e from Lake Huron into Georgian Bay. The 12- mile gateway has the tip of Mani- toulin Island on its northern edge. Drifts 12 to 15 feet high had blocked the road from Wiarton, 40 miles to the south. A fresh snow- storm last night added to snow clearing difficulties. All other Owen Sound district roads were passable this morning except the road frcm Owen Sound to Wiarton, which was expected to be clear by noon, "The word that the trucks had got here was the biggest news in town this moming," Barney Hop- kins told The Canadian Press over the single telephone line which had linked this community with the out- side world during the storm-stayed period. "The bus company people stayed up for the Sows to get here but the rest of the people heard ebout it when they got up. It didn't take long for the news to get around," A rn. Arabs Would Liberate Egypt Cairo, Jan. 8-- (Reuters) -- The Arab League has intervened in the Sudan issue between Brit- an and Egypt with the aim of "liberating the Sudan from Brit- ish Imperialism," an Arab League announcement sald last night. It was issued in reply to a statement made in Lodon by com- bined delegations of the Sudanese Umma party and ' the independ- ence front which accused the lea. sue of supporting Egypt's claim for "Nile Valley unity" contrary to the "basic principles for which it was created and the violation of its constitution.' The Arab League added: "The Arab League is aware that for- eign influence is the real ruler of the Sudan, and any call for se. cession from Egypt would only further British Imperialism, which the League is not prepared to support." The Sudanese UMMA party stands for an independent Sudan, Film Stars, Washington, Jan. 8-- (AP) = The flim industry got its usual top billing today on a treasury list of 122 leading money-makers of 1944 and of business fiscal years ending 1045. Movie people held more than one out of vets four spots in the partial list of those earning more than $75,000, and led it with the comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. They took in $469, 170 jointly---$234,585 each if they split it evenly. . Hollywood also furnished eight of the 12 persons on the list who received more than $200,000, but yielded top individual place to a businessman, Thomas J, Watson of New York, President of Inter- national Business hines Corp. Watson's -gross w. '$425,548. Even .s0, he was a far second to movie producer-director Leo Mec- Carey, whose $1,133,036 earnings set out in an earlier listing of 593 persons, kept him high money- maker for the 1944 and into 1945 period, Stil] unreported and presuma- bly slated for a later list was Mo- Producers, Top'46 Money Earners vie magnate Louis B. Mayer, the list leader for seven consecutive years. The listings cover only compen~ sation for personal services, ex. cluding income from investments or other sources, % Second to Watson on thé new list and leader among the women for 1944 earnings thus far re- ported was Winnipeg-born Deanna Durbin, who got $310, 728 sing- ing and acting in movies, Her husband and picture director, Fe. lix Jackson, also made the list with earnings of $114,875. The third individual spot, and last in the over-$300,000 bracket, went to Walter Wanger, Universal Pictures producér and husband 'of movie actress Joan Bennett, took $301,127, Fourth was Harry Cohn, president of Columbia Pic- tures, with $278,900, Tied for fifth were two executives of the Andrew Jergens Co., Cincinnati, President Andrew Jergens and the executive vice president, Movie Actress Irene Dunne fin- ished just behind them and see- ond among the women with $245, 000, A Hospitals' Bed-Needs 42,700 Toronto, Jan, 8 -- (CP) -- The Canadian Hospital Association today presented an estimate that 42,700 more beds are needed right now in public hospitals across Canada, and an additional 20,000 beds will be needed in the next 10 years, The Association said there were 110,150 beds available in Canadian hospitals in 1046. These figures, which do not include private hospi- tals, Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals or Dominion government hospitals, included only 51,913 beds for active patients. The der of the 1945 bed total included 3,185 for chronically ill, 900 convalescent, 43,500 mental, 12,080 tuberculosis, 7.417 bassinets and 1,176 in isolation wards. Of the 42,700 beds which it is estimated are needed right now 13,500 would '.e for the chronically ill, 8,000 for active patients, 8,500 for mental and 7,500 for tuber- culosis. In Ontario alone, said an accom- panying estimate by C. J. Telfer, hospital inspector for Ontario, there is a need for 4,000 more active pa- tient beds and 3,000 more for those chronically 111, leaving out the larger totals required for the mental hospital and tuberculcsis hospital overcrowding. But of the 4,000 new active patient beds needed in Ontario only 1,025 are 'in sight, including 150 at St. Joseph's in Hamilton, 100 at King- ston General, 105.at Port Arthur General; b0 at Parry Sound Gener- al; 80 at Sturgeon. Falls and 30 at Wingham. Rest of the new beds al- ready provided for are in Toronto hospitals, And part of the new-bed programs already allocated are being held up by lack of labor and materials. Across Canada, Dr, Harvey Agnew of the Canadian Hospital Associa- tion, said that the present 51913 beds for active patients should be increased by 8,000 now and another 9,000 in the next 10, years, giving a total then of 68,913. Beds for chronically ll, now 3,185, should be increased to 13,500 now and to 19,185 in 10 years, he said. Similarly he listed these objects for other classes: convalescent beds, 900 now; 300 more immediately; a total of 8,600 in 10 years. Mental hospital beds: 42,500 at present; 8,500 more needed now; 7,000 additional in 10. years. Tuberculosis: 12,060 now; another 7,500 neéded now and during the next 10 years, 'Cash Crops' Are Condemned Ridgetown, Ont., Jan. 8 -- (CP) -- Professor G. N. Ruhnke, head of the Department of Soils, Ontario Agri- cultural College, said yesterday that cash crop farming, adopted in many areas of Southwestern .On- tario, may lead to eventual non- productivity and soil failure. Tobac- co, sugar beets, tomatoes and corn were listed by the professor as most damaging and about equal in their effect on soils. Fire Sweeps N.Y.C. Piers Weehawken, N.J, Jan, 8--(AP)-- A general alarm fire, 'fanned by high winds, roared through two freight export plers of the New York Central Railroad today, blan- keting the Hudson River water- front opposite midtown Manhattan with dense clouds of smoke. Damage was expected to.run into several millions of dollars, a rall- road spokesman said. Five railroad employees were in- jured when the blage started on pier three, a quarter-mile north of the west shore railroad passenger terminal, 'Pjer three was destroyed. Cause of tlie fire was not immed- {ately determined. A fleet of three New York Oity fireboats, augmented by 12 rallroad tugs and land apparatus battled Sas on pler four, te the north of pier 3. Railroad spokesmen said the piers were loaded with general merchan« dise destined for ships in nearby New York harbor. There were 50 railroad cars of freight on pier four when the fire broke out, and all but about 10 were removed, All frieght cars on pier four were removed to safety, the railroad reported. N.S. Miners (Continued from Page 1) board "cannot believe that the com- panies' proposals to make a wage increase conditional upon increased output is an offer made in good faith Union headquarters immediately informed members that "unless otherwise notified" there would be no extension of the present contract with the company beyond its Jan. 31 expiry date and advised them "to govern themselves accordingly." The union also advised Labor Minister Mitchell and Thomas Ken- nedy, UM.W, international secre- tary-treasurer at Washington, that the company had refused to join with UM.W. officials in seeking a conference with the federal Labor Department. Mr. Kennedy was asked to arrange such a conference. Although the union entered nego- tiations Nov. 28 with a mandate to call a strike if necessary, the word "strike" did not appear in the U.M.W. statement. One union source here, pointing to the proposed Ottawa parley, said the breaking off of negotiations did not necessarily indicate an immedi- ate strike call, Sought Benefits While Working Gets Seven Days Convicted on a charge of violat- ing the Unemployment Insurance Act, William A. Knox, Brougham, was sentenced to seven days in the county jail by Magistrate F, S. Ebbs this morning at Whitby.

Wage changes were necessary, however, and management must recognize that greater productivity in some cases will permit bigger pay cheques as well as lower price tags; also that pay should go up where it has lagged behind living costs or where wage rates are substandard. The main to balancing "real purchasing power" with pro- ductive capacity, he said, "must be through reduced prices." Taxes should be kept at present levels, Mrs. Truman asserted, be- cause of "the rule of sound public finance that calls for surplus in government revenues over expendi- tures while employment is high and the total income is large." He conceded the tax burden is great and should be lightened "as soon as possible," but he cautioned: Avoid 'Excessive' Demands, Labor Congress: Washington, Jan, 8 (AP)--President Truman told the United States Congress today the way to keep the country ; prosperous in 1947 is to leave taxes alone, raise minimum wages, Increase social security benefits, broaden coverage of the wage-hour law and maintain rent controls. 1 1 1) - "When reductions come, it will be important that they be fairly snd equitably distributed that they con= tribute to the mainienance of pur- ! chasing power by reducing the 5 den on the mass of consumers, and that they help provide the work and business incentives essential for & high level of production." 0 Mr. Truman said he and the American people reject "the notion we must have another depression." For a long range program, the Chief Executive suggested: x 1.

Montreal, Jan. 8 (CP)--The wa) was opened today to action in. ap- proximately 900 court cases against Witnesses of Jehovah when Mr Justice G. E. Gibsone upheld in a superior court judgment the right of the Montreal recorder's court to deal with members of the sect charged with illegally distributing circulars without a city licence, The judge also upheld in a test case involving Mario Furlan, a member of the sect, a decision of Recorder E. J. McManamy last May that the Witnesses are not a religious societ; enterprise sel! literature and consequently obilged to obtain $100 city permits. The rulings, were expected to un- loose a flood of cases accumulating for many months pending the su- perior court decision. Figures on the number of persons involved are not available, but there are many multiple charges and one Witness faces 50 counts. Most of the charges were laid before the recent police and gov- ernment campaign against the sect, inspired by the distribution of a pamphlet--Quebec's Burning Hate ---attacking members of the Roman Oatholic clergy in this predomin- antly Roman Catholic province.

Treasurer Fred Moss and Sec- retary Ted Johnson were each in- stalled by Lieut-Governor Cogs- well, while the four new directors commencing a two-year term of office and the four directors with still one year of their term re- maining. were all installed in a group. The Kiwanis Directors for 1947 are: Bill McClennan, Harold Tonkin, Bert White, Morley Wy- man, Rev. Ben Morwood, Doug. Coombs, Russell Humphreys and Ev. Disney. The latter four are commencing 2-year terms. Outlines President's Take In inducting President-elect Dave Jamieson, Lieut-Gov. Cogs- well referred to the fact that the members had bestowed upon Ki- wanian Dave the highest honor within their power. He charged the new President to think of programs but not to be disappoin- ted if his ideas are rejected, for Kiwanis is still a democratic or- ganization with -equal rights for all. "Do not do the work of your committees. You should see to it that they do the job they are sup- posed to do but do not presume to do their work for them, nor in spite of them," he warned. He charged the Directors to form the policy of the club for 1947, to support the President and his officers but to represent also the general membership. President Dave, after accepting the gavel, outlined the plans which were tentatively adopted at the first meeting of the 1947 exe- cutive, held last week, Mayor-elect Kiwanian Frank McCallum voiced the thanks and appreciation of the members to Lieut-Gov.
