SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1947 THE DAILY FIMES-GAZETTE * PAGE THREE Soviet Press Continues Blast Against US Foreign Policy SICK BENIFIT AMENDMENT RULED OUT Toronto, March 15 -- (CP) -- The Ontario Legislature yesterday vobed 49-20 upholding a ruling of Speaker William J. Stewart that a Labor- Progressive amendment to a bill amending the Workmens' Compen- sation Act was out of order. The amendment sought Jo increase com- pensation payable to dependents and was introduced by Joseph B. Salsberg, Member for Toronto St. Andrews. It was the first division in the Legislature since the current session opened last week and resulted from debate while the members were in committee of the whole House. In committee, five bills were discussed without amendment and later sec- ond reading was given six bills. Only other business of the short routine Friday sitting was tabling of a report by the special committees on members' indemnitie: and allow- ances which called for substantial increases to all House members. Heated debate followed the ruling by committee chairman J. de C. Hepburn's ruling that Mr. Salsberg was out of order in moving to in- crease expenditure of government money. The Labor-Progressive Member was joined by opposition members of the Liberal and Liberal- Labor parties in protesting the chairman's ruling. Mr. Salsberg said that in view of the fact the expenditure he recom- mended "does not come from public funds out of the treasury of the province, but from the Workmens' Compensation Board, I would . . . be within my rights to move an in- crease." He suggested that thg sec- Lot under 16 in the event of the these prayer. Would they remem ber them when He was gone? "And now I am no more in thd world, but these are in the world and I am come to Thee, Holy Fa, Meinzinge: \w... \ North). The Speaker upheld the chairman's ruling but Mr, Salsberg appealed this decision with the of .opposition leader Far- quhar Oliver and division was called. The oppostion vote was solid, four members of the opposition side be- irz absent from the sitting. Other bills discussed in committee included the Embalmers and Fun- eral Directors' Act, the Artificial Ifisemination Act and amendments to' the Stallion Act and the Muni- cipal Board Act. Attorney-General Blackwell, giv- ing second reading to the Fire De- partments' Act, sald the bill was the result of four years of "fair dealing" between his department and the Ontario Federation of Fire- fighters. The Act provides for compulsory arbitration of demands of firefight- ers for shorter hours and higher . wages. Mr. Blackwell said many municipalities had refused to bar- gain with firefighters, since the fire- fighters charter outlaws strikes and the municipalities thus felt safe inf their refusals. 3 Re Freak Acciden Fires Carriage, Baby Is Dead Sudbury, March 15--(CP)--Four- months-old Ellen Spencer, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Spencer of Sudbury, died in the flames of her burning carriage here. Angu- ished screams of the child attract- ed the attention of the child's mo- ther, Mrs, Margaret Spencer; who had left the house a short time be- fore to visit Mrs. Aurel Nault. Hus- band of the woman is working in a lumber camp at stop 95. Mrs. Spencer told police that she left the carraige in the archway between two rooms, approximately 10 feet from a stove.

BRANCH Chairman of The Oshawa Rotary Club Easter Seal Committee which is associated with The Ontario So- ciety for Crippled. Children.. .An- t of the Osh . Cam- paign is made in today's issue of The Daily Times-Gazette. Rotary Backs Easter Seal Drive Here The Rotary Club of Oshawa, as- sociated with the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, will sponsor a campaign for the selling of Eas- ter Seals commencing next Wed- nesday. W. R. Branch is Chairman of the Committee and Robert Argo, Manager of the Bank of Montreal, is Treasurer. The . committee is composed of: J, J. Fleming, Harry Blanche, Fred G. Harris, W. H. Kam, L, I. Knowles, T. L. Wilson, N. J. Moran, R, B. Reddoch, James' B. Reed, Ron Ricnardson, Ed. W. Robson, George F. Shreve, Howard A. Sparkes, G. G. Wanless, W. A. Wecker and Harold Washington. "A letter 1s being forwarded to every home in Oshawa," said Mr. Branch to The Times-Gazette, "containing 100 Easter Seals, and the public generally is asked to re- mit whatever they choose in the self-addressed envelope which is enclosed. This is the first time in Ontario," said Mr. Branch, "a sale of Easter Seals has been planned, and commencing March 20 we hope to raise funds for the work of The Ontario Society for Crippled Chil- n.'" Through this two weeks sale The Rotary Club hopes to raise pro- deeds for the expansion of The Crippled Children's work. "This is a very worthy work that we are carrying on," said the Chairman. Parents of average means have found that the care of a crippled child is expensive. In many cases they have lost homes or farms to provide treatment, or more {fre- quently delayed treatment of the ailment until it was too late, It is expected that $100,000.00 will be raised throughout the) Province in this effort and if so the services will be extended, especially in the Eastern and Northern sections of the Province. For the first time In Canada a training school for spastic children will be opened. "As a Rotary Club," said Mr. Branch, "we are deeply concerned with the work of providing care for Crippled Children." "The Rotary Club" he said "was the first Ser- vice Club in the field in this parti- cular type of service." "The people of Oshawa," said Mr. Branch, "are generous people when helping the other fellow is concern- er, and we feel perfectly confident that in this campaign we will en- Joy the usual splendid support giv- en The Rotary Club.

The Minister spoke on second reading of a bill that would ex- tend for one year the life of the meat board, the special products board and the dairy products board. Help Keep Margarine Out! Hog Producers Are Urged Toronto, March 15 -- (CP) -- Opinions of Ontario Agriculture Minister T. L. Kennedy and Gordon Taggart, head of the Canadian Meat Beard and Prices Support came into sharp conflict here yes- terday at a meeting of the Ontario Hog Producers' Association on the question of bacon branding. Col, Kennedy felt Ontario grown bacon should bear an Ontario brand mark so the province would be ad- vertised in foreign countries. Mr. Taggart took the view that since export was the concern of the fed- eral government, only a Canadian brank mark should be used and Canada as a whole advertised. L. E. Pearsall, secretary-manager of the Canadian Meat Board spoke briefly to the Association and com- plained of the attitude of labor. He said the leaders at the seaport cities were not interested in doing a good day's work and seemed to fear they would do too much. Labors attitude and a shortage of shipping space had delayed shipments of bacon to Britain, he said. 'The meeting was urged to fight any proposal that oleomargarine be placed on the Canadian market by William Newman, delegate from Victoria county. "If we once get this stuff in here it's gojng to be a lot harder to get it out than it was last time," he said. Charles McInnes, of Iroquois was re-elected president and Ava Rin- toul, of Carleton Place was chosen vice-president. It would also make special provis- ion for an apple contract with the United Kingdom. He was critical of a statement in the British House of Commons that Canada was trying to make the most of Britain's food short- age to get the highest price. Though not naming Sir Waldron Smithers, to whom the charges had been quoted in London dispatches, Mr. Gardiner said: "I think it is time for someone to say that when a man stands up anywhere in the world and says that Canada is trying to make pro- fits at the expense of someone else, he is talking about something that either he does not know anything about or that he is speaking with some intent other than that of serving the people of his own coun- try." Canada had not realized great profits in sending supplies to Brit- ain. As a matter of fact Canada felt she was helping feed the Brit- ish people, the European and others short of food at less cost to those people than they would have to pay in any other part of the world. 'Back to Life' Experiment Not Possible San Quentin, Calif.,, March 15.-- (AP)--A proposal by convict Tom McMonigle that science try to bring him back to life after his forthcom- ing execution met these possibly in- surmountable obstacles today: Warden Clinton Duffy said the body could not be removed in time from the lethal gas chamber; and anyway, he wouldn't permit such experiments at the prison. McMonigle, 37, sentneced to dle on a date yet to be set, offered his body to Dr. Robert Cornish, 42, Berkley, Calif, scientist who had conducted widely-studied experi- ments in restoring "dead" dogs to life. McMonigle was convicted in the kidnap-slaying of Thora Chem- berlain, 15-year-old San Jose girl. Dr, Cornish promptly asked gov- ernor Warren's permission to 'make the attempt at San Quentin prison. It would have to be done within a few minutes after the execution, and arrangements would require some six months' preparatory work, the scientist said. T.U.G,A>.

The regular Wednesday night meeting was presided over by vice president Bill Burrett in the ab- sence of president Ken Brisebois. The meeting began as usual with the secretary's and treasurer's re- port. A play for the club was dis- cussed and a committee was de- cided upon to select a suitable one. The entertainment . committee for next week is Bob Young, Jean Antil, and June Young. Next week's meeting is postponed until Thursday. It will be held at the home of Norma Bolles, 303 Pine Ave. The entertainment of the evening consisted of two games and a "sing- song". In the first game of guessing advertisements we discovered that some of the members are observant when looking at magaiines as they were all guessed correctly. The sec- ond game was having each member in turn repeat a word beginning | with the letters of the alphabet. The English language increased by | several words and everything went fine until we reached the 'x's' where | the last ones to get a chance to express themselves were completely 'stumped'. The meeting closed with Lord's Prayer and handclasp. There will be bowling as usual on Saturday night. Would those wish- ing to bowl meet at the Mayfair Lanes promptly at seven o'clock. Weather permitting there will be a hike on Sunday.

Irishmen Honor Beloved Saint On Monday Next By EDWARD CHANTLER Canadian Press Staff Writer Let 1leprechauns and keening banshees lament from Killarney"s lakes to Donegal's green hills-- there'll be no such sorrowing by sons of the Ould Sod come Mon- day marnin'--for it brings an- other St. Patrick's Day, the 1,- 486th to be sure. Although 'tis said the fairies wept and the little men of the hedges dampened the very peat with their grief when the saint- d figur died, sons of Erin from time immemorial have greeted March 17 with galety, parades, clambakes--and a merry 'best to yez" swished down with potable potheen, And many the blackthorn shil- lelagh has been aimed at the nog- gins of cynics who dare impugn that St. Patrick was a creature of Celtic myth and fancy. True, the Welsh, French and Scots all claim him as a native son. The canny Scots are loudest in their claims, They say he was born at Kilpatrick, near Dum- barton, and was named Patricius Magonus Sucatus Calpurnius which any gossoon can see be- speaks Roman ancestry, Then there are those who, by your leave, prattle that as a Welsh boy of 16, the saint was captured by Irish rovers and brought to Ireland where he learned the language. Later, it is claimed, he fled the land to re- turn about 432 as a missionary representative of Pope Celestine. Shamrock Parable That he was a wondrous man with words is tol in ancient Eire lore. While preaching to Druid pagans at Tara, chronicles relate, he immortalized the sham- rock when he held one up to dramatize the dogma of the Trin- ity and show the feasibility of hree in one and one in three. Of course, more critical re- earchers suggest that the sham- ck was linked with the saint's ility to Banish snakes and toads fom out of the emerald acres. storian Pliny thought the tro- 1--a kin-neighbor of the Irish blem--had protective powers ainst the sting of snakes and rpions, hen there are those who ques- the choice 0° March 17 as \Patrick's death day, Well, it to have come about some- after his death at 2 in County Down, Bplit on choice of an the rich ays, he as. sumed a Solomon's air and ruled that he would take both debated days--March 9 and 8--add them together. Faith, and so March 17 was chosen. And, as though the anti-myth folk hadn't done enough mischief, the bhoys received a rude shak- ing in recent times when it was said that the good saint's sham- rock was named after the Arabic "Shamrakh"--held sacred in Iran as an emblem of the Persian Triads. Put that shillelagh down! and 2 Happy St, Patrick's Day to yez all! Boyer Trial Is Again Under Way Montreal, March 15-- (CP) -- Crown evidence in the conspiracy trial of Dr. Raymond Boyer, Mont- real scientist, has begun anew in King's Bench Court here imme- diately after completion of a fresh jury to replace the one discharged because of illness of a juror. Dr. Boyer, wartime research che- mist for the National Research Council, is accused of having con- spired to communicate information unlawfully to Russia, Last of 18 Canadians charged in connection with Canada's espionage investiga- tion of last year, he has requested a French-speaking jury.

Besides the children's num- ber there will be a lovely Ballet with balloons and a Gypsy Caravan re- vue in colorful costume.

Mitchell To Aid All Possible Ottawa, March 15--(CP)--Labor Minister Mitchell, replying to a Canadian Congress of Labor re- quest that new efforts be made to settle the Maritime coal strike, said he would do anything he could to bring about an early settlement. He was replying to Pat Conroy, secretary of the C.C.L.,, who in pre- senting the annual brief to federal Cabinet, urged that representatives of the striking workers and of the employers be brought together at the earliest possible moment, "This is not merely a struggle be- tween employer and workmen," Mr. Conroy read from the Congress' brief. "Foremost in this dispute has been the vital role of government, because of its long participation in the operation of the maritime coal industry."

Canadian Dies In U.S. Boiler Blast Cedar Point, M.D., March 15 -- (AP) -- A civilian tug was en route from Baltimore today to take in tow the former Presidential yacht May- flower, victim of a boiler-room ex- plosion and fire that claimed the life of one Canadian crew member, identified as Robert Telloquin of St. Joseph Deforel, Que. Cmdr. Charles S. Minter, public relations officer, sald Navy fire- fighting teams, aided by six of the crew who reboarded the stricken vessel after the abandon-ship order was given, had succeeded ir bring- ing. the flames under control early today. The explosion occurred about 6:30 p.m. yesterday, some five miles east of Point Lookout, where the Poto- mac River flows into Chesapeake Bay. None of the 22 other members of the all-Canadian crew was injured, Minter said. An air-sea rescue squad consist- ing of a patrol plane and the sta- tion tug Ruby M. was dispatched to the scene when first word of the fire reached the station. . The tug took off the crew, trans- ferring 16 bers to an unidenti- fled Canadian vessel which was to carry them to Baltimore, Minter said. Another tug equipped with fire-fighting gear was dispatched from Piney Point naval base, and a "PT" boat--one. of five still in Un- ited States naval service--was or- dered from Solomons Island to aid in communications with the shore. The extent of the damage to the 2,690-ton. Mayflower was undeter- mined. Indians Ask Privileges With Liquor Ottawa, March 15.--(CP) --A de- mand by Indians, particularly vet- erans, for the right to possess lig- uor permits and enter beverage rooms was placed before the joint Parliamentary committee on Indian affairs today. The request, made by chiefs and councillors of tribes in the Peter- borough, Bruce County and Geor- glan Bay regions of Ontario, was passed on to the committee without comment by Senator Iva Fallis (PC-Grey North) and Garfield Case (PC-Grey North). Senator Fallis reported Indians in the area around their Peterbor- ough home wanted to extend to women the right to vote in elec- tions for chiefs and members of the councils. Mr. - Case said similar feelings had been expressed by Western On- tario Indians. Regarding liquor, he said veter- ans objected to their being refused the right to purchase it when they were no longer in uniform. He found Indian women took a similar view, and would rather have their men get liquor through legitimate channels than through bootleggers who flourished on reserves, 'Senator Norman Paterson (L- Ontario) said he had observed "a vest improvement" during the last 50 years of Indians in Manitoba and Northern Ontario. Many had found employment in mills, mines and other industries, and those on | reservations were guided by, "effici- i ent, intelligent" ' Indian agents. | The chief need was for more and better schools.

For nearly five years he was chairman of the Fi- nance Committee; and last year he was chairman of the provincial Research Committee, He is at present a member of the National Council and Execu- tive, a position he has held off and on over a period of many years. In 1943 he contested the Toronto provincial riding of St. George; and 1945 the Toronto federal riding of St. Paul's, He thus brings to the presidency a long experience in C.C.F, adminis- tration and political trends. Mr, Brewin's experience has not been restricted to the C.C.F., how- ever, The C.C.F. government of Saskatchewan retained him to draft its trade union act which has become the accepted pattern for advanced and satisfactory la- bor legislation by all trade union groups in Canada.

PRAVDA SAYS Delegates to the-Big Four foreign ministers' conference here, read in the newspaper--organ of the Com ] Moscow Central Committee--the declaration that the Truman policy did not serve the cause of peace and security. Pravda said leaders of American policy--it unquestionably meant to include State Secretary Marshall-- had better contemplate that under current conditions efforts to accom= plish plang for world domination were doomed to inevitable failure. 'The Pravda editorial said the pro- posed American policy was aimed at domination of Greece and Turkey and was in disregard of obligations under the United Nations Charter. "If Greece and Turkey are really threatened by anyone, why, then," it asked, "does the United States not apply to the United Nations or- ganization and put its case before the latter?" Pravda's editorial, like Izvestia's the previous day, was two columns wide and ran the length of the front page--an unusually long edi- torial for a Soviet newspaper, Some observers here attributed Marshall's definition of democracy before the foreign ministers last night as in a way enlarging on Tru- man's anti-totalitarian theme. They saw in a way Pravda pronounce- ment a reference to both statements, "However," Pravda continued, "sober-minded American circles un- derstand what danger an adventur- ous course for immediate imperial- istic expansion hides." Delegates and at least one secre- tary here interpreted this to include the former secretary of commerce, Henry A, Wallace, whose radio at- tack on Truman's speech was given prominence this morning in the Russian press and on the radio. Pravda struck out at persons it said were hailing Mr. Truman's speech, referring repeatedly to Franco and Churchill. Onlookers deemed it extremely unusual for the two biggest newspa- pers in the Soviet Union to level two suceeding editorials at a head of a state, especially one whose for- eign secretary was at the time in Moscow to make a peace treaty with a former common enemy.

Cooper has been an advocate of world press freedom for 32 years, and worked to obtain the inclusion of a freedom-of-the press provi- sion of the Versailles Treaty, al- though the provision was denied. He succeeded in having freedom- of-the-press declarations inserted in both Republican and Democratic platforms during the 1944 election campaign in the United States, and his work resulted in adoption of a a Congressional resolution calling for such freedom.
