Down to Earth For Princess, Much Planning By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canandian Press Staff Writer London, July 28--(CP)--From the delirious whirl of courtship Princess Elizabeth will soon have to come down -to the work-a-day task of planning the much-anticipated royal wedding. Leading dressmakers, goldsmiths, jewellers, musicians, printers, mil- liners, furnishers and florists are already thinking ahead, for whether the ceremony takes place at West- minster Abbey or quietly at St. George's Chapel. Windsor, as re- cently suggested, all will have an important part to play. Follow Mother's Lead The Princess is expected to follow the lead of her mother, the Queen, by enlisting the services of British dress designers. She will most like- ly have her wedding gown--destined for some museum of the future-- made by one designer and suits and coats Ry another. In court circles it is considered unlikely that the reception will be on anything like the lavish scale provided for the King and Queen in the far-off days of plenty. At that time several wedding cakes were made, the heaviest weighing 900 pounds, et License G But the Princess will receive a license from the Board of Trade for a wedding cake together with rations for the party to follow. Last time theré was a wedding of the heir to the British Throne was when Edward, Prince of Wales mar- ried Princess Alexandra of Den- mark in 1863. On that occasion Queen Victoria ordered that her son shold be married "with the utmost magnificence" at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, usually known as the family chapel. Ecstatic Terms Dickens and Thackeray described the scene in ecstatic terms and Queen Victoria wept in her pew as Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightin- gale. sang the chorale to music by the late Prince Consort.

In a centenpial service with pastors and laymen participating, Rev. John'W. Behnken, president of the Synod, said "never before in history have such frightful condi- tions confronted Christians. Two years have elapsed since hostilities ceased and still there is no peace-- only hatred and bitterness, agony and suffering, distress and turmoil." Mr. Behnken added, "into that kind of a world God had placed us and blessed us so abundantly, He has one this for a purpose. On this glorious occasion we should pledge ourselves anew to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to bring. spiritual aid to the despair- ing; in short, wholeheartedly to support our church's program of physical and spiritual relief." The outdoor service highlighted the Synod's convention which will continue through Tuesday, Ground Sloop, 4 Kingston Men Saved Toronto, July 28--(CP) -- Four Kingston men were rescued last night from their grounded 30-foot gaff-rigged sloop after a hazardous 28-hour crossing of stormswept Lake Ontario from Charlotte near Rochester, N.Y. Their experience led to concern among Toronto yachtsmen for +2 more craft known to be making the lake crossing to Toronto from the U.S. side to take part in a regatta which opens here today. Red distress rockets fired by skipper Wally Drake of Kingston lec to the rescue last night as the sloop, The Four Winds, lay on its side, pounded by angry waves ch rned up by a 3J0-mile wind. A vigilant lifeguard, = Chuck Taylor, spotted the flares off Cherry Beach and notified the main lifesaving station. Life- guard Bil! Gled made the havar- dous trip to the sloop in a row- boat and shouted to the crew to hang n. They stayed and their sloop was pulled off the shoal by a lifesaving launch. It took 30 minutes to drag the craft off the sand. The four crewmen--Drake, his brother Herbert, and Bart and Ted Dalton--suffered only a wet. ting. The skipped said they left Charlotte at 3 p.m. Saturday and expected to reach Toronto some 12 hours later, But they were de- layed by heavy weather and storms, They went aground at 7 p.m. yesterday. C.N.E. Midway Bigger, Better If you have ever been to Toronto's Sunnyside, Montreal's Belmont Park or New York's Coney Island, you have probably had the time of your life on the roller coaster, the air- plane ride, the whip and all the other devices specially designed to scare the daylights out of you in perfect safety. : There will be one ride at this year's Canadian National Exhibj- tion that is sure to give you all the thrills of Sunnyside, Belmont Park and Coney Island rolled into one. It's the Hurricane, a breath-taking new thriller that will be installed on Patty Conklin's permanent C. N. E. midway this week and be in op- eration at the Ex. from August 22 to September 6. Patty Conklin, maestro of the mid- way, flew all the way to Florida to see there the only other Hurricane in the world. He thought so high- tly of it that he immediately order- ed one built for the C. N. E. It's the invention of Norman Bartlett, Win- nipeg-born inventor of midway rides and tops in his profession. Bartlett spent $150,000 to develop and build the Hurricane. ¥ Exactly how the Hurricane oper- ates, Patty is not saying yet, "But it will be the ride of your life," he de- clares. Another big C. N. E. midway ride wil be the Comet, now being built for Conklin at Hamilton, The third entirely new device is called the Bird Cage, which is under construction in New York. And of course there will be ferris wheels, merry-go- rounds, caterpillars and other old favorites of Exhibition visitors. The most modern Auto-Skooter in America is nearing 'completion on the Midway. Twenty-five cars will speed around the metal-floor- ed track. Next year 10 re Cars will be added, making the Skooter the second largest device of its kind on the continent. Incidentally, at the rear of the Auto-Skooter, Conklin is installing a generator for the conversion of Toronto's 25 cycle current to 60 cy- cle current needed for the operation of the scores of motors used on the midway. Patty Conklin is proud of the "Kiddy" ride he is building near the main midway, The children won't have any trouble locating their own play-place. Tall pillars topped by gaily covered giraffes, ele- phants, monkeys, ducks and so on will surround Kiddyland. Inside, 15 merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels, miniature trains and all the other devices that delight the hearts of boys and girls will be in operation. 'Children need a midway all their own, where they can have lots of fun, yet be absolutely safe," Patty says. "The C. N. E. Giddyland will be just the place for them." Says Sullivan Shippers' 'Tool' Montreal, July 28 (CP)--Jerr McManus, national secretary of the Canadian Seamen's Union, charged last night in a statement thut J. A. (Pat) Sullivan, president of the Canadian Lake Seamen's Union, was a "tool" of shipping interes McManus said a statement = day night by Sullivan that most trade unions had either active Communist members or sympa- thizers in their ranks was a "smoke Manus said the "real issue" would be revealed Wednesday when the National Labor Relations Board heard charges of bribery which he has levelled against Capt.

Simple, Private Funeral For Mother of President Grandview, Mo., July 28 -- (AP)--Mrs, Martha Ellen Tru- man, daughter of a Missouri pio- neer farmer and mother of the President of the United "States, will be buried this afternoon on a shaded knoll in Kansas City, the town where she was born 94 years ago, The ceremony will be simple and private, as. the mother and her devoted son, Harry S. Truman had previously agreed, The funer- al services in, Mrs. Truman's plainly furnished living were for the family alone, Only three or four cars will follow Mrs, Truman's cortege on its 17.mile trip to Forest Hill Cemetery from the little cottage on dusty, unpaved Feland Aven- ue in Grandview. It was in Grandview the Presi- dent spent 12 days away from the White House in May because his mother had a sinking spell; there he was bound - Saturday when word of her heart's failure over- took him in the Presidential plane. The Truman BSOrrow, room though more than a family affair, was sheltered from the curious by se- cret service men, state and local police who blockaded roads for two blocks around house. On the door of the cream-col- ored frame house was a funeral wreath of purple and white. In. side, at the foot of a simple, sil- very casket was a single great cluster of red roses. In the open casket, where close friends said their goodbyes yesterday, lay Martha Truman in her favorite blue dress that she bought last February to wear on a visit to the White* House, The trip was never made, be- cause of a fall on Feb, 13 which fractured her hip and led to the heart strain which brought about her death, On an earlier visit, for Mother's Day, 1945, she had captured country-wide fancy by exclaiming "fiddlesticks!" at the fuss made about her, She asked her newly-sworn-in son, "Harry, if you are President, why can't you shoo all these peo- ple away?"

(| since payment of family the frame |- Grits Beat Themselves, Oliver Says Orillia, Ont., July 28--(CP)-- Quarrels within its own house led to Liberal defeats in the Ontario general ~lectidns of 1943 and 1945, Farquhar Oliver, Ontario Liberal leader, said Saturday in an address at a picnic in honor of William A, Robinson, Liberal Member of the House of Com- mons for Simcoe East. "It wasn't the record of our party which led to our defeat at the polls,' said Mr. Oliver, "Peo- ple would not tolerate such exhi. bitions as our party put on in those years. Wo quarrelled with the Dominiaon government and changed Prime Ministers without consulting anybody, It is as well to know these things so that we can assess them and not make the same mistakes again." Remember? (Mr. Oliver did not elaborate, but in 1942 he and Harry Nixon from Brant riding resigned from the Ontario Cabinet in protest against the way in which the Premiership was transferred to Gordon C, Conant when Mitchell F. Hepburn resigned office). Another speaker at the picnic was federal Health Minister Mar- tin, who reviewed social legisla- tion and said that school popula- tion had risen as much as 12 per cent in some areas of Canada allow- ances began. He sald 1,554,000 Canadian families and 3,700,000 children received benefits from the allowances, Victory Said Easy His main task was to organize a smooth-running political mach- ine, said Mr. Oliver. A change of only eight per cent in the popular vote from the 1945 election would be sufficient for a Liberal victory in the province. Mr. Oliver attacked Premier Drew's Progressive Conservative government for its "government by-commission" policy. As Liber- al leader he would expect his Ca- binet ministers to bear full re- sponsibility and not pass on their problems to commissions which were not responsible to the elec- tors, He spoke of the Royal Com- mission on milk and said that by the time its report was brought in, everyone would have forgot- ten about last fall's milk price in- crease it was appointed to inves- tigate. News and.Views From Eastview Many activities at Eastview Park had to be postponed during the past week due to the weather. The la- dies enjoyed a softball game on Monday evening having a large turnout of players and supporters. Friday evening a ladies volleyball game was scheduled but due to damp weather the number of play- ers turning out was so small it was just possible to make up two teams and no more. On Saturday evening the men enjoyed a few games of volleyball but they too were short of players. During the past week we received two much needed additions for the Park which were donated by two prominent citizens of Oshawa. A sturdy box to hold all the sporting equipment and bulletin board which will enable everyone to keep in- formed of the activities planned for each week. Many thanks gentle- men! Your gifts are gratefully ac- cepted. Highland Ave. is happy to an- nounce the arrival during the past two weeks of three future park users. We extend our congratula- tions to the proud parents. A program is being planned for Saturday evening which will start with softball and volleyball for the ladies and men to be followed with a sing song, and a quiz program. We hope that all who are not out of the city enjoying holidays will be down at the park to enjoy them- selves Saturday evening, weather permitting. Shanghai Police Strike When Six Slain; Go Back : Shanghai, July 28 (AP).--Shang- hai policemen, on strike as a result of a downtown gunfight in which six officers and a bystander were slain, were ordered back to work today under China's new "total mobilization" order . which bans walkouts. Police struck several hours earlier in protest against what they termed the "massacre" of their fellow of- ficers by plainclothes gendermerie in the gun battle at the Golden Castle Theatre. Six other officers and three civilians were wounded. Police commissioner Schobern Yu ordered the gendarmerie confined to quarters for two days. He ordered the uniformed police to return to their posts immediately.

Settled in London; Guarantee Scheme Toronto, July 28 (CP)--Ontario government officials laid plans today for a welcome for the vanguard of some 7,000 immigrants who will come to this province from Bri« tain by air this year = the first group taking off for the trans-Atlantic flight August 2. & Announcement that final are > AidProgram Seen Help To Commies Paris, July 28--(AP)--A French Government leader has declared the Marshall aid-to-Europe program had cost the Communists strength and prestige in France, but that they were "already reinvigorated" by reports that tHe United States fa- vored speeding the industrial recov- ery of Germany. Robert le Court, legislative whip of foreign minister Georges Bid- ault's Mouvement Republicain Pop- ulaire, expressed his views in an interview. Great Danger He said the great danger to France of an American policy aimed at German industrial recovery was that it might create a cabinet crisis in which the Communists might emerge triumphant. The present French Government does not in- clude the Communist party. Le Court said reports from MRP. provincial headquarters showed at- tendance falling off at Communist meetings, but that "recent reports that America plans, for example, to double German steel production are beginning to cost us and the social- ists and the radicals some of our advantage." The Marshall proposal and Rus- sla's refusal to participate in Euro- pean' economic planning were the chief causes of the Communist losses, le Court said. Communists' Charge The French Communists charge that the Marshall proposal is aimed at rebuilding a strong Germany. They are using the new reports of American plans for building up Ger- many's industrial level as additional propaganda, "which they are ex- ploiting against Premier Paul Rama- dier's Government," le Court said. "If America goes ahead with a plan to build a strong Germany, the Communists will be able to tell the people: 'You see, a Cabinet without the Communists was un- able to prevent such a thing.'" France has protested against any plan to revive Germany industrially. 80th Congress End Raucous By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL Washington, July 28--(AP)-- Sign posts pointing toward team- wrok with the White House on world affairs, slugging matches on domestic problems and hot 1948 election issues stand out along the rough road the 80th United States Congress travelled to its own halfway mark. The first sesion' crashed to a close in Sunday's early hours. Adjournment until January, unless President Truman or Re- publican leaders call an emergen- cy session sooner, shot off a rau- cous, roaring political scrap in the Senate and a back-slapping, rollicking song fest in the House of Representatives, Weary members wonder what the people think of this first Re- publican-controlled Congress in a decade and a half. The reaction is important as top issues already are shaping up for next year's electioneering for a president, all 435 House mem. bers and 32 of the 96 Senators. For ins'~nce: There are taxes and labor, the high cost of living sad the high cost of government, And there are enough legisla- tive leftovers for the next session to concoct a sizeable dish of po- litical controversies. Held on the hook until next inter were such measures as niversal military training, long- range housing, military co-opera- tion with Latin America, and loy- alty checks on government work- ers, : The session had begun with ex- pressions from Truman and Re- publican leaders in Congress on a desire to work together. But only on international matters the bi-partisan teamwork that was apparent in wartime continued to a large degree. Lincoln's Papers Not Sensational Washington, July 28 (AP)--A mine of background information but a blank for sensation-seekers was the appraisal today at the Abraham Lincoln papers his son collected and sealed until 21 years after his own death. Scholars and historians who be- gan examining the Robert Todd Lincoln collection at the Library of Congress as soon as they were opened early Saturday called them an indispensable mine of informa- tion for students of Lincoln and the American Civil War period. rangements had been made for the world's largest aerial mass move- ment of immigrants came yester= day from Planning Minister Dana Porter on hi return by plane from London where he arranged final details. "I saw the Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe (Dominion Reconstruction Minister) in London Saturday and he said everything had been concluded, and there was NO danger of 'the scheme breaking. down despite a compli- salon background," said Mr, Pore er. : The technical puestion, raised last week, of whether air treaty re- gulations permitted Trans-Ocean Air Lines to fly the immigrants to Buffalo as originally planned, was resolved Saturday when Provincial Secretary Roland Michener ane nounced that the services of" Trans- Ocean would be retained, but under a sub-contract with Trans-Canada Air Lines. This new arrangement allows Trans-Ocean--the only company offering extensive services begin ning as early as August--to land the immigrants at Malton airport near Toronto, expediting the move- ment and effecting a saving in cost which Mr. Michener said would be passed on to the immigrants. Trans-Canada Air Lines, he add- ed, will have taken delivery of suf- ficient planes to provide flights af ter the end of September. "Everything is running smoothly now," Mr. Porter said on his arrival at Malton airport. "There is a very big response in England and peo ple are coming in to Rainbow Core ners (the Ontario government's centre in London for handling ap- plicants) 'in large numbers, "There is quite a backlog of ape plicants. I do NOT know just how many, but the numbers are mounte ing very much each day. "There is great variety in the ime migrants. A fair proportion are farmers, some are mechanics, some are skilled workers. So far all have trades and skills or professions," sald Mr. Porter, adding that the first groups to arrive will be single men, "because we don't plan to ine vite families until the bread-win nerg are established in Ontario, "I spoke to British Government officials and they feel well disposed to the scheme. There was NO evid- ence of any opposition from any of the newspapers. The Daily Express is much interested and is running stories on the scheme and the ime migrants nearly every day," said Mr, Porter. The Minister said he flew to the United Kingdom in one of Trans Ocean Air Lines DC 4 planes, the type that will transport the air im« migrants, "It was a beautiful plane and most comfortable." Niemoller Loses Ration Frankfurt, July 28-- (Reuters), --Pastor Martin Niemoller, Ger. many's famous concentration camp clergyman,'has been depriv. ed of special ration benefits and refused classificiation as a "Nazi victim" by the German Society for Victims of the Nazi Regime. Dr. Hans Mayer, president of the society, said Niemoller was deprived of his classification at a special meeting of the society in Frankfurt, The reason was based primae rily on a secret file from the ofe fice of Nazi philosopher, Alfred Rosenberg (exeeuted at Nurn. berg) which, it was alleged, re. vealed Niemoller in a pro-Nazi light, The file believed to have been released from the Nurnberg court archives, recorded a 1938 meete ing in the Moabit district of Ber= lin at which Niemoller was alleg= ed to have stated that his family was "anti-Semitic out of tradi. tion." Tr. Mayer alleged the pastor admitted at the meeting that he had supported the Nazi Party as early as 1924, Urges Same Laws Indians, Whites Wiarten, Ont, July 28 (CP)-- Indians from all parts of Ontario gathered at Cape Croker Reserve, Bruce Peninsula, this week-end for their annual "pow-wow" and were told by Andrew E. Robinson, Pro- gressive Conservative member for Bruce that "in my opinion Indians should come under the same liquor laws as whites." Elaborating, Mr. Robinson said Indians who served in the armed forces during the war did not abuse the right. The meeting, completely lacking in traditional Indian color -- war dances, ceremonial head dress and flickering camp fires -- prepared to organize Indians of Ontario to send a representative delegation to pre- sent grievances.
