No Bribery To Seamen, Is Retort Port Colborne, July 22 -- (CP) -- Capt. R, Scott Misener, president of the Colonial and Sarnia Steam- ships Limited, today branded as an "absolute falsehood" charges made by T. G. McManus, national secre- tary of the Canadian Seamen's Un- ion (T. L. C.), that during negotia- tions aimed at settlement of last year's seamen's strike he was offer- ed $100,000 to sign an agreement which would have meant "lower wages, longer hours and poorer working conditions than the umion finally obtained." "It is Communist propaganda based on the theory if you tell a lle, tell a big one," said Capt. Misener, regarding the charge which was made in a letter sent by Mr, Mc- Manus to the National Labor Rela- tions Board at Ottawa asking leave to prosecute Capt. Misener and Capt. Norman Reoch, operating manager of Canada Steamship Lines, under federal labor regula- tions. Not Through Press Capt. Misener said.he did not in- tend to carry on a battle with the CS.U. through the press but would make his statement regarding the charge direct to the Dominion gov- ernment y Meanwhile in Toronto, investiga- tion of the dispute between the sea- men's union and two of the largest shipping operators on the Great Lakes opens here amid reports that the union already has fixed a dead- line for strike action.

Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, July 22--A pipeline from the two-day caucus of Progressive Conservative confirms they are likely to appoint a new national or- ganizer quite soon--perhaps a cou- ple of weeks, or a month. The man they fave under consideration is not a big name in politics but he's a clipper citizen, long.on experi- ence and with some bright brains the Tories sorely need. The head-chopping predicted last Saturday may be confined to shift- ing one and perhaps two persons in the top management. Action in this direction is far from positive. Mem- bers who were in a flaming rage when the returns came in from Halifax, cooled down considerably when the caucus got underway. And the two who were given the percen- tage blame for that perditious blunder have friends high in the party who have undertaken to pro- tect them. The worst they may an- ticipate is a reduction in authority. The hiring of a top organizer would automatically reduce their position in the party. ; Another limiting feature of the caucus was that it was poorly at- tended--many members had gone home. The last breath of Parliament wag sirocco and scores of members of all parties retreated from Otta- wa's moist, enervating heatwave, So that the Tories who were left in the capital to dispute their par- ty's ill-fortune felt (correctly) that some of the things they might want to do would require a full conven- tion. The net-result of the caucus was that major decisions were left to John Bracken and J. M. Macdon- nell, But the sorely disgruntled members left their two leaders a clear summation of their feelings. Despite the fact their wratlh had cooled they still took umbrage with the men who were mainly respon- sible (they felt) for having to swal- low the green bile of defeat at the hands of the CCF. The party's policies in the House, during debates, were also under fire at the caucus. There is nothing much new about this, since any caucus should naturally discuss strategy in the House, But it's news if the Tories have finally wakened up to the fact that their unimpress- ive, unspectacular performance in the Parliament just ended, was earning them an Oscar for estab- lishing a new regime in Ottawa--a boobocracy. Bright Tory exceptions were Diefenbaker, Graydon, Rowe, ete. According to the pipeline this was a repeat dose of medicine. Not long ago, reports say, the Tories invited Grattan O'Leary, associate editor of the Ottawa Journal, to comment on their performance in the House. O'Leary, who has earned he respect of practically every other newspaper editor (except on the subject of facsimile) in Canada, appeared be- fore a caucus. He told them, all rigat! He was, according to the grape- vine, particularly caustic about some of the questions asked in the House by some of the members; and about , their general knowledge. If they couldn't do some research, if they couldn't work to earn their $6,000 indemnity, then they ought to put clappers on their jaws and bags on their heads. That's the way the story's being told. But most Tories regard Halifax-- as bitter as it was-- as healthy, If they had won second place they would have gone along in their own indifferent way smugly secure they were 'still the alternative party in Canada. The byelection, particular- ly, because it was in Nova Scotia, forced them to realize their place is far from secure and that the CCF has made important gains. Now the Progressive Conservatives have come to realize, or some of them at least, that it is more than their own political party that is at stake, that it ig the whole political structure of Canada that is threate ened. All the abusive language in the world--aimed at them occasion- ally by men in their own ranks-- did not wake them up to their re- sponsibilities as much as did the Halifax affair. They've got to get out and fight for their place in the sun, or the third party, so danger- ously close to Communism as it is, will be the alternative party. Keep Eva Peron Out, French Reds Paris, July 22 -- (AP) -- French Communists and labor unions put pressure on the government today to abstain from holding an official reception for Senora Eva Duarte Peron, who arrived in Paris yester- day from Lisbon. : Recalling that Senora Peron had just received the honors of" the government of Francisco Franco, the two groups issued a statement saying: "Out of respect toward the Spanish people, who have suffered for 11 years in an attempt to re- gain freedom and independence, the French government should not re- ceive the wife of the President of Argentina. She has feviewed Fran- co's troops, she has given the Fas-| cist salute and ghe has received Fancy decorations." ie was met at the field by For- eign "Minister Bidault and he Chil. ean ambassador, representing the South American diplomatic colony. A British Foreign office spokes- man said yesterday in London that Senora Peron had cancelled defin- itely her plans for visiting England.) er ---------- DIES IN CLUB Toronto, '© July 22--(CP)--Fred Richards, 34 of New York city col- lapsed last night in a night club and died of what was later diag- nosed as coronary thrombosis, Fire- men worked over him for a time with inhalators until medical aid | arrived, » Fear Shortages a Threat To Britains Travel Trade London, July 22--(Reuters)-- With rising costs and shortages of materials hampering British shipbuilding, leading operators here' consider that the United States may capture Britain's lead in the Trans-Atlantic passenger trade, Ship owners feel the threat will grow serious when United States operators carry out plans to introduce smaller and speedier vessels on this route. Frederic Alan Bates, chairman of the Cunard-White Star Line-- owners of the Queen Elizabeth-- Monday described the effects of shortages and rising costs as "grave" and sai.. they would in- evit~ ay impose a limit on the ab- ility of shipowners to order new ships, Faced with the alternative of having a large number of smal- ler versels or a few. big ones, British operators were unders, stood to have decided on a smal- ler type of passenger liner, Cunard-White Star has aband- oned any plans it might have had to add to their 80,000-ton "Queen" liners although the Queen Mary will soon join the Queen Elizabeth on the trans-At- lantic run, Reports that Russia was con- templating a bid for the North Atlantic passenger trade could not be confirmed in London, but it is known that shipyards in Leningrad are sorking on blue- prints for liners accommodating nearly double the number of pas- sengers carried by the Queen Eli. zabeth, ) Residents Of Prince Albert Improve Homes F. E. SMITH Correspondent Prince Albert, July 21 -- Mr. and Mrs. Fraser of U.S.A. were visiting last week with Mrs. John Collins and other relatives.

The friends of Mr. Lawson Honey wish for him a speedy and safe recovery from his recent fall during haying operations. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Midgley and son Robert are spending two weeks at Cobourg. Unable to Name CSU Controller Ottawa July 22--(CP)-- The federal government no longer has power to appoint a shipping con- troller to settle a dispute between Canada | teamship Lines and Sar- nia and Colonial Steamships Ltd., and their employees, Labor Min- ister Mitchell said yesterday. This action, requested in a let. ter to Mr, Mitchell by Harry Da- vis, president of the Canadian Seamens' Union, was taken last year during a labor dispute af- fecting lake steamships. Under the War Measures Act, a control- ler was appointed to take over the shipping companies, But the Minister, in an inter- view, said the government could not take such action now because the War Measures Act has lapsed, It is understood he has replied to Mr. Davis to this effect. U.S. Rail Strike Nipped in Bud San Francisco, July 22--(AP)-- An agreement ending the strike of locomotive engineers on the west- ern liges of the Southern Pacific Railroad was announced today by L. B. McDonald, Southern Pacific vice-president in charge of opera- tions. The settlement, which since an hour after the strike started yes- terday at 6 p. m. PST had hung on a matter of phaseology, will permit the engineers to return to work as soon as they can be notified. Wording of the agreement is to be worked out later. It ended in just six hours and 46 minutes the strike which had dis- rupted the lines' operations from Texas to Oregon and threatened to hamper the movement of perish- 'ible crops in the area. Warns Couple Settle Differences at Once A charge of assault occasioning bodily harm laia against her hus- band by Lilly Trick resulted this morning in both being warned to keep the peace for one year on a bond of $50. James and Lilly Trick, 1168 Sommerville Avenue, North Osh- awa, evidently did not lead a companionable life and after a fracas or June 27, a court case ensued. Crown Attorney A, C. Hall questioned the two partici- pants and Dr, Charles Mecllveen told the Court of the bruises he had found on both, Magistrate Ebbs commented on the inability of the two grown ups to. get along and warned them to try to settle their differ- ences without delay. ADJOURNS INQUIRY Halifax, July 22 -- (CP) -- The Transport Department's prelimin- ary inquiry into last Wednesday's collision between the destroyer Mic- mac and the. freighter Yarmouth County was adjourned . yesterday but Capt. A. W. Hilton of Yarmouth, N. 8., president, said it might be re- convened later, od 'side of one steer escaping into the Disbelieve Lad's Baby Death Tale Massillon, O.,, July 22--(AP)--A six-year-old boy told Police Chief Stanley W. Switter yesterday he dropped two baby girls later found dead of fractured skulls at City Hospital here but the county prose- cutor doubted his story. The boy, Roger Gue of Navarre, O., was quoted in a 400-word state- ment as saying he was playing with the children while he was a patient there with a broken arm, dropped them, then placed them back dying in their cribs. Switter, who interviewed Roger and issued a transcript of the ques- tioning, sald he was satisfied that this "accidental death" solution closes the 46-day-old mystery. The babies were Diana Jean Brand, eight-weeks-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Brand, and Rose- mary Morton, 10-weeks-old daugh- ter of Mr, and Mrs. Harry E. Mor- ton, all of Massillon. The infants died shortly after they were found in their cribs. Sticking to his murder theory, prosecutor D. Deane McLaughlin in- sisted: "Our investigation continues. The confession reported by two newspa- per reporters does not close the case for us, "I talked with Mr. and Mrs. Gue in their Navarre home. Both ex- pressed doubt that Roger was telling the truth. (Switter said the par- ents believed the story). They told me and Mr. Grossglaus (Harry Grossglaus, a detective) that each time after acting out the scene, Roger repeated: "'It's just make believe." The parents have since sued the hospital for $200,000 damages, charging carelessness, The statement, in question and answer form, was taken in the pres- ence of the boy's parents, Chief of Police Switter, James Ellen, a pri- vate investigator, and Willard Schaurer, a Pittsburgh newspaper man, The questioning was conduct- ed by Ellen. Rodeo Show (Continued from Page 3) Clarke was the order of events and he went into some intricate forms to snare the ponies of his mates. He ended this display by roping five animals in one lariat toss. Cowgirls in Limelight The cowgirls came into the lime- light, when they showed with their Jumping horses. Some mud in the raceway before the jump made the event all the more difficult, but all went according to plan and each rider accounted for the highest bar on the jump. Bucking horse riding came next with the cowboys doing some nice work up in the saddle and not once did this reporter notice a rider "pull leather". The cowgirls came in for their share of this and did exceptionally well on their mounts, who seemed even friskier than those which the men rode. More roping and then some bull- whip work were the next to last features. With a story told in action of a horse and rider suffering the untold agonies of thirst on the desert, Trick Riding Exhibition The last item of the evening was an exhibition of trick riding, by the whole cast. They showed running mounts, split vaults, somersaults, Cooper vaults and numerous other tricks. That ended everything and out- outfield of the ball diamond after a short tussle with a cowboy who wanted to bulldog him, there were no accidents. That steer by the way, as soon as he had clambered through the fence, went to work with a will and ate quite a bit of grass before he was corralled. There are still two more days of the Rodeo, so if you want to see real western action, get your ticket and help the Kiwanis Club of Osh- awa help all the needy persons they minister. i Philip Explains, Princess Listens Greenock, Scotland, July 22 -- (AP)--Lieut.

R. Mos=- her, C.C.L. president, and Pat Con- roy, in sending a communication to all affiliates in Canada calling for a "halt to this disloyalty to unions in the congress and to observe the fundamental fraternal loyalties which each union in the Congress owes to the others." The president and secretary had stressed, however, that "this in no way interferes with our aim to es- tablish organic unity within the Canadian trade union movement. On the contrary, unless these un- derhanded so-called 'United fronts' on the basis of disloyalty to our Congress are halted immediately, they will grievously injure the op- portunity for such organic unity between the different trade union centres in Canada." 'Terrorist Army' Members to Die Warsaw, July 22 -- (Reuters) -- Thirty-two members of the secret "terrorist Ukrainian Independence Army Monday were sentenced to death by a military court in Razes- zow, Southeastern Poland, for at- tempting to seize control of the southeastern provinces of Poland.

Farm Labor Shortage Is Serious Toronto, July" 22--(CP)--Farm la- bor shortage is serious throughout the province it was revealed today in the weekly crop report of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In Western Ontario's Perth county the situation was described as "worse than at any time during the war." Lack of Western farm hands expected to help in haying opera- tions and early harvest brought re of "disappointment" 'from provincial agricultural representa- tives in many sections. York coun- ty in Central Ontario reported 100 applications for farm help still un- filled. Increased rainfall generally de- layed haying throughout the prove ince although Brant county in Southern Ontario reported that the hay crop is 75 per cent harvested. In Kent county hail flattened grain fields and damaged the tobacco crop "in certain small sections." In Eastern Ontario Stormont county reported considerable cone cern among dairy cattlemen, poul= trymen and hog producers regard- ing the feed grain situation, Some farmers were curtailing their hog and poultry businesses "in antici- pation of increased feed costs." In contrast to the excessive rain reported generally, Temiskaming county in Northern Ontario indicat- ed that dry weather there had not been favorable for late spring grain. The county also reported that 1,500 colonies of bees had been imported from southern areas where the hon- ey flow was poor.
