THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE - 7" PAGE THREE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1947 Predict Russia May Join World Pact To Control Atom Dalton In Error But Unintentional, Committee Finds London, Dec. .8 (Reuters)--Hugh Dalton, then Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, made a "premature and unpremedi- tated disclosure of the contents of .is budget, which he had no right to make," a few minutes before making the budget speech to Parliament Nov. 12, an all-parts parliamentary committee of inquiry reported to-® - day. But the report added: 1. Dalton did not believe that in some of his secrets to the political correspondene of the Lon- don Star there was any possibility of them being published premature- y The disclosure did not cause any stock exchange movements of prices or sales. The report, published as a white paper, is the result of the inquiry of the select all-party committee set up when Dalton resigned after con- fessing to parliament that he had given away some of his secrets to the correspondent. The budget information was pub- lished as a "stop press" forecast minutes before the Chancellor act- ually announced his new measures. With publication of the report it now rests with parliament to decide whether any further action is ne- cessary. The committee's report said that John Carvel, the Star's political correspondent, made an error of judgment "in all good faith" in dis- closing his information to the pa- per. He was mistaken in his belief that he was at liberty to disclose the information in the guise of a forecast. Dalton, in his evidence to the committee, said: "Having regard to the time and to the subject matter of our talk, it certainly never en- tered my mind that he (Carve) would telephone it to his paper, or that he would publish it, or indeed that they would have time to pub- lish it before my speech bgan to come through. "My quick thought was (and it all passed very quickly) to give him, in reply to his questions, the main points in advance, so as to help him to make a good note for his paper." Dalton agreed it was the abso- lute duty of a Chancellor of the Exchequer not to disclose. budget information to journalists before opening his budget speech. "The point is that I should not have told Mr. Carvel what I did, that the responsibility for doing so was mine and not his, and that I thus committed a grave indiscre- tion for which I apologized the next day to the house, ... "My conversation with Mr. Carvel passed entirely out of my mind until 1 p.m. next day when I first heard about the publication in the "As soon as I heard this I said to two colleagues who were with me this means that I must resign my office.

Strong opposition to the by-law was voiced by Ald. A. G, Davis and Ald. Sam Jackson, Ald. Davis commented he had heard much criticism of the meas- ure--not from the operators but from others. He felt the by-law would stop free enterprise, although fie was in favor of restricting the number of stations on King Street. In reply Ald. J. N, Willson stated that the operators of the present stations were .unanimous for the by-law and even though it were passed Council could, when it saw it, amend it to permit of more sta- 4 tions when the need arises. "This by-law is going to stop the large oil companies from opening new stations in competition with their own stations where men are now making a living. The big companies do not care about the man who has built up his business," declared Ald, Rae Halliday. "If they don't want competition they must be afraid of it. The lessees of these stations can be put out with 30 days' notice, Who are we to say that such men should not start up again?" added Ald. Jack- son, Christmas Season Marked By Strife In Holy Land Area Jerusalem, Dec. 18--(AP)--Under clouds of hate and strife, torment- ed Palestine entered the Christmas | season today--the season of "peace on Earth, Good Will to Men" -- confronted b an Arab threat to wage a war to the finish against partition and the Jews. The Arab League proclaimed in Cairo last night, at the close a of | long conference of leaders of the seven Arab states, its intention te fight to the end against the United Nations decision o split the Holy Land into separate Arab and Jew- ish states. In Palestine, the pace of com- munal Arab-Jewish blood-letting of the last 17 days since approval of the partition plan had slowed some- what but there was another shoot- ing and an apparent reprisal to- day, underlining the continuation of violent feelings. Arabs surrounding Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate captured anl killed a 30-year-old Jew who tried to slip through the Arab quarter to re- inforce Jews garrisoning the old city's Hebrew quarter. A short time later a 16-year-old Arab boy was shot to death in the same area by asasilants officially described as "unknowns." In addition, a Spanish priest who was wounded Dec. 13 while watch- ing the fighting died today. These deaths brought the total in the Holy Land itself to 266 deaths, made up of 132 Jews, 122 Arabs, eight Britons and four others, For the whole Middle East there were 387 deaths during the 17-day period. The end of the Cairo meeting-- attended by officials from Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Trans-Jordan and Yemen--was fol- lowed by a declaration to the U.N. assailing the United States and Russia, for their support of parti- tion. The British military continued to turn more and more authority over to the®Jews in the central coastal area of Palestine. An announce. ment today said' the first infantry division had removed its head- quarters from Tel Litwinsky to Sarafand, relinquishing control of the former to the Jews, At Nazareth, whence the Virgin Mary set out for Bethlehem at about this time of year nearly 20 centuries ago to give birth to her Son, 14,000 Christian * Arabs were waiting for the annual flood of Christmas tourists--who won't ' be coming this year, The roads to Nazareth, atop a mountain in Galilee, lead through areas ripped by strife. Arabs guard the winding mountain road which used to bring 15,000 tourists a year. They check passports. If it is Jew- ish, the holder probably will die on the spot. Others are turned back. Sentence Vagrant For 71st Time William Murphy 67, pleaded ghil- ty to a charge of vagrancy and was given his 7ist conviction in police court here today. He was sentenced to three months in the county jail. Said Chief of Police Owen D. Friend, "His is the longest record of anyone in this court." "What are you doing in Oshawa," Magistrate Ebbs asked accused. "Just going through, Your Hon- or," Murphy replied. "You're always going through but you never seem to get through," the ench came back. Murphy has been convicted on various charges and often appeared before the magistrate with different names, and in spite of his exper- ience, he still does not know that it is proper to address the Bench as "Your Worship". y ) CONTRACTS SIGNED James Smith, International Re- presentative of the U.A.W. announc- ed this morning that a contract has been signed by Local 222 with the Oshawa Box and Lumber Co.

King Dances With Maid, Queen With A Footman At Staff Yule Party London, Dec. 18--(CP) Christmas festivities were offi- cially opened at Buckingham Pal- ace last night when a dance band struck up "People Will Say We're in Love" and the King, with Princess Elizabeth's maid, Mar- garet MacDonald, in his - arms, glided across the polished floor. The Queen and her page, Cy- ril Hayley, followed suit, It was the annual Christmas staff shindig, held for the first time in a state apartment --the room in which Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip held ther wed- ding breakfast -and more than 500 of the folks and their friends were on hand, The Prince and Princess did not attend. They dined privately with friends, Footmen, pages, servants and clerks of the royal household had just finished the ¢'hokey-cokey" when the royal family arrived. To the toll of drums, the King, in dinner jacket the Queen, in an oyster satin evening gown with full skirt, tiara of diamonds, necklace and ear.ings of the same stones and Princess Margaret, in lemon yellow, walked into the room. The royal couple later danced together to the fast - stepping "The Wood Chopper's Ball" and to the fox trot "I've Got the Sun in the Morning." They stayed around to watch exhibition danc- ing, went into the steward's room for refreshments and talked with many guests before retiring to their own apartments just before midnight. The dance program included the Palais Glide, the Lambeth Walk and well-known British old- timers, like the St. Bernard Waltz, the Veleta and the Dash- ing White Sergeant. Proud Winners (Continued from Page 1) their familles and friends. "It is good to see you taking part in the ccenmunity," said Mr. Down, "and aiming at being active in future im- portant affairs." Secretary-treasurer of the S.0. AS. E. W. Webber proudly present- ed more than 50 cheques to junior farmers who were successful with entries in the junior section of the fair. Arrangements had been made with the Dominion Bank to cash the cheques at the receation hall and only those youngsters who were not at the banquet will be obliged to go into Oshawa to get their money, Mr. Webber remarked on he particular accomplishment of junior farmer Bob Flett, R. R. 2, Oshawa, who took second prize in the junior heifer class of 49 entries at this year's Royal Winter Fair. "Bob has one of the six best heifers in Canada," said Mr. Webber. The animal took first prize at Oshawa fair and third at Peterborough. Kiwanian Morris Reed presented the club trophy--given annually to the school with highest number of points in the chicken class--to Wes- ley Down in the absence of the teacher of the Baseline East school, which, although small in student population, won by a noticeable margin. Rai Purdy Productions of Toron- to, was delegated by arranger Ki- wanian Bill McLellan to provide entertainment for the Christtnas party, but if it had not been for spark plug Bill himself, things might not have been so lively.jHe dragged president Dave up before the mike and the two sang a humor- ous, though unprepared, duet, then Bill rendered "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" as a solo. Something rarely seen in Oshawa was provided by Robert Clark, one of Canada's few remaining "Punch and Judy" producers. He was in- troduced, as were the' others, by mistress of ceremonies Miss Doris Ord who offered a number of vocal solos to her own accompaniment, and led a sing song. Magician Al Bertheaume and Laurette provided puzzling problems for the young pecple with conjuring tricks. Al's ventriloquism brought some funny quips from dummy Tommy Atkin- son who tliought the alphabetic let- ter following "0", was "yeah".

The 1947 population is given at 6,677, or an increase of 713 in the past two years. Likewise, total taxable assessment has increased in one year from $3,- 173,178 to $3,240,065, a gain of $66,- 887. Many new houses built in 1947 will increase the next assessment. Developing industry will attract many more people to Cobourg. Ap- proximately one-quarter of Co- bourg's assessment comprises non. taxable land to the amount of $242,- s0fpana buildings to the amount of $1,092,650. 'Adding these to the tax- able assessment the imposing fig- ure of $4,575,115 is reached, Won't Be Party To Separation Of Children Declaring that he was not going to-be a party to any program that would necessarily 'separate the children, Mr. Justice G. A. Gale declined yesterday to make any or- der as to custody while granting Mrs. Alice M. Brown of Oshawa, a decree nisi for divorce from her hus- band Milton D, Brown, The plaintiff had asked custody of only one of her three children, ranging from seven to 10 years of age, the others to be lodged else- where, For this reason, His Lord- ship said, he was prevented from dealing with the matter "compre- hensively or properly". "I cannot help but think that the defendant has completely lost siglit of the responsibility he holds to- wards these children or that the mother is completely alive to her responsibility," he said, adding that he sincerely hoped the parties would overlook their own discord for a while at least to promote a union of the children. Counsel for the plaintiff was L. S, Hyman, Road Machinery Being Passed Up Lindsay, Dec. 18--(CP)--Richard Butler, Warden of Victoria County, said last night municipal authori- ties had been told it was pointless to order new road machinery in 1948 as the Ontario government would not pay "the Migh subsidies to bring it in" from the United Sta- tes, where most of it is made. Mr. Butler said the information had been given by Highways Minis- ter G. H. Doucett at a conference yesterday with the road board. Mr. Doucett was quoted as say- ing provineial roads being built from Manilla to Woodville and through to Victoria Road, another from Kinmount to Haliburton and a third in the Wilberforce area would be completed next spring. The minister voiced approval of a bridge to be built across the dam and canal at Fenelon Falls at an estimated cost of $80,000.

The working committee of the® United Nations Atomic Energy Commission was called to plan work on the third phase of its long search for atomic agreement. Canada's delegate, Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, also expressed hope in a speech yesterday that event- ually Russia will join with the oth- er powers in a form of interna- tional control. In an address to the Canadian Club in New York, he added that it seemed "reasonably probable" that there will not be an atomic war "on any significant scale for a while yet." As the delégates completed * pre- parations for this meetifig, Freder- ick H. Osborn, United States De- puty on the Atomic Commission, told a press -conference that the Kremlin had made a "number of basic economic and political mis- takes." He felt that there is "great ignorance" in the Kremlin on the sincerity of proposals for an inter- national atomic development: au- thority, backed by the United States and approved by 10 other members of the 12-power commis- sion, . Declaring that he had not heard neither the Russians nor the Amer- a word from the Russians and that ican delegates had made any at- tempt to settle their differences since the last commission meeting in September, Osborn said that no one country desires to take the re- sponsibility of breaking off the atomic talks, The first phase of the Russian- American disagreement on the! commission saw the majority ap- proved last December virtually the entire Anferican plan for an inter- national atomic development au- thority laid down by Beernard M. Baruch before the cpmmission in June, 1946. Russia ejected this plan but did not vote against it in the commission: The second phase saw Russia and the majority split over plans for the function of the control authority. Russia voted against the second re- port embodying these plans. It still has to be considered in the Secur- ity Council, The third phase coming up deals with the organization of the au- thority, how its directors will be chosen and what powers they will have, Production (Continued from Page 1) Minister Howe ascribed Canada's U. 8. dollar shortage chiefly to the current investment boom. "The government must there- fore," he said, "take steps to regu- late the huge volume of imports we now are making for capital invest ment purposes and achieve a de- gree of selectivity in our futurg ex- pansion. "The guiding principle in this se lectivity must be our immediate ur- gent necessity to conserve United States dollars, and our long-run necessity to earn more United States dollars." Import Changes He said that as a first step ime ports of machinery and of struc- tural steel will be allowed only by special permit beginning next Feb. 1, The category of imports for which permits will be required will basically be that going into new and expanded construction and equipment. To expand sales in U. 8S. dollars, the government would give encour- agement to the development of nat- ural resources in mines, forests and fi€lds which would find a market in the U. 8, and to the expansion of manufacturing industries which would be able to compete in the U.S. Mr. Diefenbaker said the bill meant that Mr. Howe could "brow- beat" and "intimidate" every busi= i ness man in Canada and that indi- viduals would be "inspected and sus- rected" with all the efficiency os a "police state", Parliament, he went on, had been "deliberately flouted" when the economic controls were #stituted in mid-November and the govern- ment, -by imposing excise 'taxes without the consent of parliament, had "ccenmitted a crime against the constitution." Mr, Fleming charged . that the government had committed a "com- plete and outright breach of faith" with parliament in launching the economic program under the exe change act. If the government wanted a general election on the issue, the Progressive Conservative party was ready for fit. SERIO IASB ID A 74 SIMCOE N. A + MEATS BRS IRTORTENNNG FREE DELIVERY!
