Schoolboy Track Star Entered In Jr. Olympic Trials In Toronto Running under the colors of the Shamrock Athletic Club, of Osh- awa, Gerry Bracey, well<known, lo- cal schoolboy track star, Saturday captured a first, two seconds ahd a third at the track theet in Lake- view Park, Oshawa, held in con- Junction with the snnual Progres- sive Conservative Association picnic. Bracey, who is considered one of the best runters in this area, won the #440-yatd under 18 years event, placed second in the yard open event, second in the 100-yard under 18 years event and third in the 100- yard open event, Taking into account his showing both Saturday at Lakeview and last Saturday at the Toronto Police games when he placed second in the 880-yard event, many local ob- servers believe that Bracey, who is only 17 years old, might catoh a place on a Toronto track team which will go to Cleveland on Aug. 3 to compete in the Junior Olympic track meet scheduled for that city. Already the recipient of an in- vitation from the West End Y.M. C.A, track officials in Toronto, to compete in the junior trials which will be held in the Queen City this week, Bracey i8 expected to contest both the 440 and 880-yard events and, if a winner, will have his ex- penses paid by the Toronto club to Cleveland for the big meet. Although hesitant about his chances in the Toronto trials Bra- cey told The Times-Gazette that in addition to the trials this week, he expects to compete in the Beaches Olympic Club track meet in Tor- onto on Saturday, the Buffalo Fire- men's Association track meet in Buffalo on Sunday and a Civic Holiday track meet in Port Col- borne, Ontario, on August 4. By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst President Truman's new special envoy, Lt.-Gen, Albert ©. Wede- meyer, has got into action on his old stamping grounds in China to Two Courses Of Action For Chinese Are Seen would be problematical, for there are intangibles involved. The most important of these is whether Nan. king has the right information in saying that Moscow is backing the Chinese Reds. If Russia is giving carry out a fact-finding missi which is calculated to provide Washington with material for an overhauling of its policy of assist- ance for this inmiportant but war- battered member of the Big Five. _ Without waiting to hear from the General we know that he is finding this vast nation in far worse condi. tion politically, economically and militarily than he ever has seen it billion people are hungry unto death. Inflation is fantastic and the economy of the country is wrecked. The nationalist - government at Nanking i8 trying to ride a whifi. wind. wid espread hing The civil war is producing wide. spread and bloody fighting. Gen. etalissimo Ohlang Kal-Shek's fresh offensive to try to deliver a knock- out blow at the Red armies finds the communists not only holding their own but on the initiative -gen- erally, with Manchuria and great reaches of Northern China Jeger said | in thelr hands, And Nanking say that the Chinese Reds are ri Fon ald from the Russians. As one sufveys this chaos, and the elements which are eontributing it, there would seem to bé only éne way out for Chiang Kal-Shek and his governmet, and 18 is it 18 this: 1, To fling enoigh military foie against the communist armies to cripple them and hold them dowh, afd then 2. To do a thorough job of house: cleaning in the Nanking govein- ment, ahd inaugurate sweeping re- forms attractive sheugh to win baok that portion of the Chinese.popii- lation whieh has forsaken Nanking to chase eomministie rainbows. Of these two essentials, the first obvieusly presents an obstacle which may be insurmountable. The fihi- aheing of an all.olit war by Chiang's armies against the Chinese coim- mihists would ruh into countless billions of dollars, & sum whieh would stagger thé imaginatien of the only nation in the world ecap- able of predueihg it--the States. Not efily would there be the htige military expenditures, but meafitifie the eéonoiile machine of the country would have to be kept running full tilt. Such an opefation right easily last for years and the outcome before. Untold millions of its half- | Ghinese ited. such istance, the situation looks grim indeed. There is a school which holds that the Chinese communists aren't the same brand as the Russians--that the celestials are just discontented agrarians. As a matter of fact gen- eral Chou En-Lai, one of -the top Chinese communists, told me in 1943 at Chungking that there was no connection between Moscow and communism. However, there are many observers who think otherwise, and they don't overlook the fact that the late Dr. Sun Yat. Sen, father of the Chinese Repub- lie, called in several Russian com- munists as advisers and that the formation of a communist party resulted. It doesn't take much imagination to believe that Chinese communism and Russian commun. ism aren't far apart. In any évent, our Uncle Sam cer- tainly will be faced with a moun- talnous decision if General Wede- meyér ultimately should report that the two conditions set forth above must be met if China is to be saved from communism ahd put on her feet.

Rotary To Hear LM.C. Secretary On Tuesday The New York City Secretary of the International Missionary Coun- cil, Dr. William Decker, will be the guest speaker at Tuesday's lunch- eon meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club. Dr. Decker has just completed a lengthy 21-day session of work at the Ontario Ladies' College here where the IM.C. held their first post-war international conference. Although Dr. Decker could not be reached for confirmation of his sub- ject for the address, it is believed that he will briefly outline the work being done throughout the world by the modern missionary. It is hoped that he will reveal just ex- actly what was accomplished during the recent conference at the Col- lege. Rotary officials urged that all members turn out to hear Dr, Deck- er's address and pointed out that Dr. Decker has quite a reputation as a fine after dinner speaker.

Severe Storm Does Only MinorDamage In Whitby Described by many locally as the, worst storm to descend on this area in several years, a severe lightning storm struck Whitby and surround. ing area early Sunday morning and although no serious damage was re- ported many instances of minor damage to trees, lights, wires and blocked = drains were reported. George Brown, foreman of the Whitby Public "Utility Commission, said today that several power trans. formers were blown out during the heighth of the storm and that emergency repair crews were forced to work long overtime hours on Sunday morning and afternoon to repair the damage. Police Department officials stated that several minor accidents directly attributable to the storm were re- ported although no severe damage ocourred. Sergeant Ron Love was forced to spend three quarters of an hour at the subway on Dundas St. E. early Sunday morning in an attempt to clear a traffic jam on the busy No. 2 Highway caused when three vehicles stalled in the subway bé- cause of three feet of water which had flooded the highway at this point when two storm sewers, lo- cated on each side of the highway, became blocked. Traffic stretched for a consider. able distance on each side of the subway and cars coming upon the stalled traffic from over the slight rises in the roadway were forced to slew back and forth in an at. tempt to avoid crashing into the rear of cars which had already stopped. In the short space of about five minutes seven cars were in. volved in minor rear end collisions several of which were not reported to police. The few stores in the town that remain open on Sunday did a rush. ing business in fuse plugs bought to replace those blown out by the storm. Several citizens reported lightning flashes playing havoc with fuse boxes and light fixtures in their homes. At Corbett's Point nea: the base line, several large trees were hit and in one instance a lightning bolt travelled along an outside aerial and set living room curtains afire. The fire was im. mediately extinguished and little damage reported, Sport Calendar Junior Softball Tigers at Brooklin.
