Found Guilty On Reduced Auto Count Cornwall, Feb. 10 (CP)--Theo- dore J. Garno of Ogdensburg, N.Y., was acquitted on a manslaughter charge but was convicted on a charge of dangerous driving by a Supreme Court jury here last night. The verdict was reached after two hours and 45 minutes. The charge arose from an auto- mobile accident on the highway west of Cornwall last Oct. 4 when 11-year-old Brian Barry, a pedes- trian, was killed. x "Your verdict makes very good sense," Mr, Justice Walter Schroe- der told the jury, "May I say, if it is any satisfaction to you, that I heartily concur." Garno was remanded in custody for sentence until the conclusion of the assizes, which end today. 813-814, butcher The Times-Gaszetie classified ads. bring quick results. Reds Set To Rip Apart U.S. A-Control Ideas Lake Success, Feb, 19 -- (AP) -- Russia set out today to take the teeth out of the American plan for international control of atomic en- ergy. Before the members of the U.N. security council was a series of ' Soviet proposals which, if adopted, would establish a separate world * convention to outlaw atomic weap- { ons and permit the use of the veto { on punishment of violators of con- trol regulations. Meanwhile,. the council resumed its hearing of British charges that Albania has committed a "crime against humanity" by mining the Corfu Channel where two British | destroyers were damaged with a loss Of 44 British seamen killed and 42 "Wounded last Oct. 22. For' the first time, council mem- bers were confronted with Russian proposals on atomic energy control. The Russians declined to make proposals in the atomic energy com- '| mission, whose report now is before the council for discussion and ap- proval. \ Soviet delegate Andrel A. Grom- yko submitted 13 proposals on the atomic question to the council yes- terday. These will be discussed in general debate by the council tomorrow. In effect, the Soviet proposals, if adopted, would tear out of the re- port the heart of the atomic control plan advocated by the United States. As a first step toward interpation- al ceatrol of atomic energy, Russia proposes the immediate abolition of atomic energy for warlike purposes. Toes Letter By the Canadian Press This winter's fuel crisis, wiping out industrial production and caus- ing inconvenience at home, finally has brought to Britons the realiza- tion that the United Kingdom is really in a tough spot. . Some see it as an economic Dun- kerque--and though it sounds corn~ ey and a platitude, the Dunkerque spirit is visible again, But this time it is not a unani- mous feeling. Many in the United Kingdom came out of the war with an inferiority complex, as far as the future of their country was con- cerned. For such people the fuel crisis hag brought a defeatism which the military Dunkerque fail- ed to produce. In 2% years in-London I have never heard many people talking about leaving Britain for new homes in Canada, Australiz and South Africa, For six war years Britons looked forward to "normal" living. Now almost two years af- ter the war ended 'there is little improvement in living conditions -- and little chance of a big change before another winter sets in. For weeks the government has been trying to get across the idea that more production from each in- dividual was the only hope of at- taining the prosperity goal. How- ever, statistics on export trade and how fast American-Canadian loans are 'disapearing do not mean much to the fellow who earns his living with his hands, Now everyone has a personal ob- ject lesson and official warnings are sinking in. If the little man hasn't lost his own job through the shutdown of his factory, he knows plenty of others who are out of work. It may be many weeks before the effects of the lost preduction is no longer apparent but there are many who figure this lesson in the long run will pay off big dividends. They argue that it took a Dunkerque to show the average Briton there real- ly was a risk of defeat. Immediate public reaction seem to indicate there may be some truth in that statement. At the week-end Welsh miners worked their first Sunday in history to bolster fuel supplies. There is a return to the spirit of g06d neighborliness which became a part of national character during the war. Housewives with coal stoves are cooking meals for the less fortunate neighbors, 'The stubborn streak which refus- ed to admit defeat at Dunkerque is coming out too. When Prime Min- ister Attlee turned down President Truman's offer to divert coal ghips he ran no risk of criticism from the British public, Hold Church Services In Home MRS. D.

British Can Still Write Catchy Tunes London, Feb, 19--(CP)--Al~ though it is said Britain never produced songs in the Second World War to compare with those of the rfist, her soldiers on the march never lacked for good chor- us material, Nor did the Navy or the R.A.F, "Roll Out the Barrel" was pro- bably the most chorussed of all. "Bless 'Em. All"--with frequent parodies--was roared out from barrack huts and service messes all over the world. Like their predecessors "Pack Up Your Troubles" and "Tipper- ary," these songs have lasted well into the post-war era, Six youths were recently fined 10s ($2) each for singing "Bless 'Em All" (with variations) on a public highway after midnight. "Roll Out the Barrel" topped the bill at a mammoth community sing-song held in the Albert Hall, Other wartime favorites, such as "There'll Always Be An Eng- land" and "He Wears a Pair of Silver Wings" are less frequently heard. The "G.I. Jive," too, has passed into oblivion with other songs that typified a phase ot life rather than life itself. Probably the most popular song produced in Britain since the war was the work of two amateurs who won first prize in a song-wri- ting contest at Hammersmith Pal- ais de Danse. This offering, "Rolling Down the River (on a Sunday After- noon)" is still in vogue and the profits it has reaped must be per- turbing to the professional tune- smiths of Charing Cross Road' Britain's Tin Pan Alley, Four new songs written by Car- roll Levis--well-known * ' theatre and radio since he came here from Vancouver in 1936--are, to be published soon, They are: "No- body Loves My 'Baby Like Me," "Pm Just a Weaver of Dreams," "I'm in Love with a Song,' and "The Miner's Song."

Murray contended that post- war industrial strife' could have been headed off without new laws by full use of government machi- nery for grappling with labor- management ills, In agreeing last night to talk merger with the A.F.L., Murray suggested that the Federation first' join with the C.I.O, to ov- pose labor-curbing legislation, Children Greet Their Majesties Simondstown, South Africa, Feb, 19-.(Reuters)-Banty children sang a welcome today to the Roy- al Family when they arrved at Si- mondstown, historic naval base whosé colorful history is marked by old tombstones. recalling the days of battles with pirates.

No. 3, the "Sucker," where it showed the Nazis way of breaking up the things that bind people to- gether by the different races religions, ch es and other or- ganizations against each other in bullding up a superior Germany. This conviction was - inescapable against each other without bringing destruction upon ourselves for the safety of our Dominion and cannot afford to allow such doctrine that wrought such havoc in Burope to root and grow in our democratic system--"Don't be a Sucker." The meeting closed with a social half hour and all enjoyed a pleas- ant evening. Quiet Wedding A very quiet wedding took place at Quaker Hill on Saturday eve- ning at eight o'clock, by the Rey.

'A stark example of the suspic- fons of mankind, it lies behind ex- tensive layers of secrecy in a' re- mote, wooded area 125 miles north- west of this national Capital. Its mission and attainments are spoken of in generalties and occasional, handpicked particulars. This situation will continue, the government has indicated, until the. United Nations has evolved a solu- tion for handling the whole atomic question with adequate safeguards for humanity, In the meantime, the country has been told that the National Re- search Council is working at Deep River "to carry out research on the. application of atomic energy in war and in industry'and on the use of its products in research and medicine." But official statements generally stress the study of its peacetime pursuits. ; Reconstruction © Minister Howe has said that Canada is unique in that her soil yields the basic raw material, uranium, and that ghe can produce the final product from which atonomic energy is released. Canadian officials maintain they are making plutonium orf peace purposes, All forms of nuclear fis- sion are used in : within 10 years if the object. He doubted that coal, as & fuel, had much to fear oy A sh Dr. Mackenzie has been quoted as say- ing that Canada does mot the industrial capacity to bombs in great numbers. It has be- come known, however, that one of the by-products of the atomic cess is a radio-active dust now is considered primarily an in- dustrial hazard but which could be transmuted into hideous weapons destruction if war started. Thus Deep River goes on its way, its work not duplicating any re- search either in Britain or the United States. Its staff is expect- ed to number between 750 and '1,- 000;: its annual costs are expected to eat -up most of an annual atom- ic budget of something like $3,500,- 000. It wil] be the focus of research now said to be exercising every uni- versity in the country in one way or another, i Plan Addition (Continued from Page 1) commodation, it is not thought that it will' fully: meet the rapidly in- creasing demand for hospital ac- commodation which ig still very ap- parent both. in Oshawa and else- where. Mr, Beaton, who visited Mon- treal recently, reported that the two largest hospitals there haye waiting lists of 5,000 each and a smaller hospital had a waiting list of 2,000.

All of tlhe Montreal hospitals have established strict regulations regarding admissions and length of stay.
