$ a THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, een em A Ee ww 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE German Genera Three Field ld Marshals, Admiral, Ten Generals Appear At Nuernberg i "By Thomas A. Reedy Nuernberg, Feb. 5 (AP)--United States prosecutors opened their case against 14 German military leaders today = the 12th and last war-crimes trial to be held here. They accused Germany's professional soldiers of rearming for war even before Hitler. The chief prosecutors said this last ®- ease might "well prove of greater importance to Germany than any other." Being tried by an. all-American court are three Field Marshals, one Admiral and 10 Generals. They are charged with crimes against peace and humanity.

Johannes Blaskowitz jumped 30 feet from a high catwalk to the title floor of the prison ro. tunda, after eluding his guards. His lungs punctured, he died later in hospital. Brig.-Gen. Telford Taylor, chief United States war crimes prosecu- tor, told the court in his opening statement that the army men guid- ed the old German Reichswehr until it became a hard.striking, aggres. sive weapon. He asserted that German Gener- were leaders in breaking the Versailles Treaty in the 1920s. He said they embarked on rearmament --"it was not invented by Hitler." The whole thing hs part of a common plan having to do with eventual war. He did not mention that the Gen- eral Staff--as a unit--was acquitted by the international military tribu- nal in the first Nuernberg trial, from April, 1945, to October, 1946. * That tribunal ruled that the Gen. eral Staff was not an organization in the definition of the court's char- fer and therefore could not be found guilty as such. However, it convict. ell the Chief of Staff, Col.-Gen. Hireq Jodl, and he died on the gal. 8. Reds Had Planned Quebec Revolution Duplessis Claims Quebec, Feb. 5--(CP)--Premier Maurice Duplessis, long an out- spoken and bitter foe of commun. ism, warned yesterday that sault by Communists will be made in 1948 "on the democratic institu- tions of Quebec and Canada." He said plans for the "revolution in 1948" have been reported by gov- ernment agents who attended Com- munist meetings and last year a chart was seized giving last details of a plan to take over key points in Montreal. The Premier spoke his warning to a delegation representing L'Union Catholique des Cultivateurs (Catho. lic Farmer's Union) and urged "all good citizens to unite with the gov- ernment of the province to stand up to the situation created here by the Communists." Mr. Duplessis sald the seized chart gave details of the number of men needed and listed the build- ings to be taken over Montreal --the city hall, provincial police headquarters and hydro-electric stations. Key to the code, he said, was found in a brief case belonging to the late Michael Buhay, Com. munist alderman in Montreal. Warning also against apathy or minimizing the seriqusness of a possible Communist thrust, the Pre- mier said that in the Hungarian general election, the Communists received only 10 per cent of the an as. |.

Mr. Duplesis also recalled the government's introduction in 1937 of the anti-Communist padlock law-- a measure to close places of Com. munist activities-- and said he had been invited to explain the law be- fore the Justice Minister in Ottawa when attempts were made to have the act disallowed. He said the Russian syp trials, re- sulting from disclosure of an es. plonage ring in 1946--could have been avoided had the federal au- thorities prevented use of telegraph and post to Communists for propa- ganda purposes. A brief presented to the Premier by the farmer deelgates had this to say on communism: "We have followed with much in. terest and sympathy the campaign which you have undertaken to sup- press communism. We urge you to intensify further the campaign, be- cause we must admit that subver. sive ideas theraten rural as well as urban centres." Peterborough, Feb. 5 -- (CP) -- Lionel Devine, 21, and Henry Da- vid Billings, 18, both of Toronto, were sentenced yesterday to one year and eight months, respective- ly, for breaking and entering and theft of $1,200 worth of cameras and photography equipment, They pleaded guilty.

The aliens, all arrested in the 'ward' district of Toronto after an investigation by R.CM.P. and im- migration officials, appealed their deportation several weeks ago. At last report, they were being held at the immigration station at Mon- treal. Their arrest followed discovery that a "ring" dealing in illegal cre. dentials was in cperation to bring aliens to Canada illegally. Holstein Breeds Popular Abroad Toronto, Feb. 5--(CP)--The popu- larity of Canadian' holsteins con- tinues to increase in other countries, W. H. Hicks of Agassiz, B.C., Presi- ciation said Wednesday. He told the annual meeting of the association that the increased popu. larity of the holstein breed is due to advertising and a good-will cam- paign fostered in post.war years. The report of Secretary-Treasurer G. M. Clemons of Brantford showed that 22,045 holsteins were exported last year. Registrations reached a new high of 55,100, for a four per cent increase in 1947, while mem- bership totalled 10,450, also a gain of four per cent.

Shaw Committed To Stand Trial In $30,000 Theft Toronto, Feb. 5--(CP)-- William | Shaw, for 20 years manager of the clearing-house of the Toronto Stock Exchange until 'his dismissal last year, was committed Wednesday for trial on a charge of stealing more than $30,000 in stocks and and | cash, Through his counsel, he waived his right to a preliminary 'hearing. Shaw was charged following an investigation by the Ontario Secur- ities Commission last December. The transactions which led to the probe were said to have been made in the heavy trading year of 1945 when s large number of stocks oc- casionally piled up in the clearing. house. It is alleged that in the in- terval between sale of stocks by one broker and transfer to another, Shaw converted some of them to his own use. Bail of $10,000 was renewed. Canadian Veteran Cremated In U.K. Lewes, Sussex, England, Feb. 5-- (CP)--Cremation of Basil Moore, 40-year-old former Canadian sol- dier, was carried out yesterday fol. lowing a pathologist's report that an inquest into his death last week WAS unnecessary. Moore was found dead in bed by his wife. A doctor issued a certifi- cate of "death by natural causes" but Dr, E. F. Hoare, Sussex Coun- ty coroner, ordered postponement of cremation, scheduled for last Monday, because he wanted "to know, the precise cause of death." Moore came to Britain with the | Canadian Highlanders during the war and served in France. BROTHERS DIE SAME DAY Shakespeare, Ont.,, Feb. 5--(CP) --Two brothers--John and Matthew Thomson, 75 and 66--died within a few hours of each other in their native North BEasthope Township Wednesday.

Steadily thrusting upward, the official living-cost index registered a new post-war peak for December and was. threatening the all-time mark registered in the boom per- iod after the first world war. The Dominion Bureau of Statis= tics yesterday announced the De- cember index as 148.3--up 2.3 points. from a month before and showing a rise of 21 points for all of 1947. 1t was crowding the 150.6 peak of July, 1920. The index is calculated on the standard that the 1935-39 average equals 100, It appeared likely today that the January index would move past the former high, since the Decem- ber figure did not take into account the prices of meats developing out of higher British contracts for Canadian products. These advances will materialize in the January in- dex report. How ever, it was in foods that one of the major December advances developed, The "others were in house-furnishings, services anc miscellaneous items. The total jump of 2.3 points in December compared with an in- crease of 2.4 in the previous month. The food index for Decembe: moved from 178.7 to 182.2, butter and vegetable prices being largel; responsible. House furnishings and service: leaped from 154.9 to 158.4.
