'Decision Reserved In 2A Highway Traffic Case Magistrate-F. S. Ebbs reserved "his decision for two weeks in the case of Daniels McGarvin, 23, of Chatham, who pleaded innocent 'here today to a charge of careless driving. MecGarvin was driving a coupe west on Highway 2A at 4.30 am, December 19 when he collided with the left rear corner of a tractor treiler parked partly on the north shoulder and partly on theé{ravel- led portion of the road. The acti- dent occurred between the Rouge River bridge and the Lansing clov- erleaf overhead bridge. Accused recived lacerations to his head and an injured arm. His car was de- molished. oy " Evidence given by Provincial Constable Gilbert Robertson who investigated, was that the left side of the truck was three feet on the westbound lane, He said mud on the rear lights made them dim. The officer testified the car was against a signpost on the boule- vard when he arrived and "parts of it were all over the highway." There were a lot of broken beer bottles around the place, he told the court. Asked by Crown Attoreny Alex C. Hall about the condition of Mc- Garvin, Constable Robertson said he saw him in the Orhawa feneral Hospital and "could smell 'some- thing off him." Donald Hudson of Hamilton, driver of the transport truck, tes- tified he stopped his vehicle facing west on the shoulder of the high- way. With all the lights on, he was about to light a cigarette when he "felt a bang on the rear of the truck." He said he got out and saw a man lying on the pavement, two cases of beer bottles and "Ji- ~quor spilled on the highway." : When the car struck, the right oor and running board were left <"imbeded on the corner of the truck." Questioned by A. W. 8S, . "Greer, K.C., defence counsel, Hud- "son said he did not put flares out until some time after the accident. He testified no part of his Unit was ron the westbound lane, McGarvin was taken to Oshawa I and utes after the collision, Brown told he court his 'main concern was to et the injured man to hospital but She did notice only one red light n the rear of Hudson's trailer. © 2: McGarvin told the court he saw © Sho lights on the trailer at all and id not notice it until he was ="about two car lengths away from it." He said the object was 'the ame color as the pavement and ad the concrete bridge for a back- round. Accused said he was trav- Iling between 40 and 45 miles per our because the car engine had ust been overhanled and his did ot want to drive too fast. three liquor bottles wrapped in pink Christmas tissue paper were to be delivered to his. father's cul. ' Stomers in Toronto. : 5. Accused said he had had two shighballs and had not been to bed + that night.

They will set up within the framework of 'the organization "programs of production and of the exchange of goods and serv- ices," the charter says. The charter specifies they "shall be able to call upon the manpower available in the territory of every other contracting party," since, for example, Italy has a labor surplus and France a shortage. They provide for "organs of in- spection and supervision" to be sure American aid and their own resources are used efficiently. The organization is empowered to make agreements "with non- member countries, with the United States government and with inter- | national organizations." This would allow, for example, trade pacts with Spain, South Am- erican or Eastern European count- ries. Unanimity is required for deci- sions; thus giving individual mem- bers veto power. "A council composed of all the members is the organ which will make the decisions," the charter says. "The council will designate each year among its members a president and two vice-presidents." Document Approved The document that was signed today was drawn up by an 18- member working committee ap- pointe da month ago by the par- ticipating powers. It was approv- ed yesterday by foreign ministers' deputies. Two more delegations attended today's meeting than attended the last plenary session of the econom ic co-operation committee. These were occupation authorities for Germany--Lt.-Gen. Joseph Pierre Koenig of France and Gen. Sir Brian Robertson of Britain, the lat- ter representing Bizonia, the Unit- ed States and British merged zones. Before signing, Foreign Minister Bidault of France told the dele- gates the charter, or "Convention of Paris," was unique "in the his tory of our continent. "This is the first step in the formation of Europe. Our _ action is dictated only by the will to pre- serve our independence and our free civilization. By way of econ- omic unification, we are building in Europe. the indispensable ele- ments of the prosperity and the stability of the world." The "door remains open to all European nations" and those out- side should "recognize the complete good faith of this enterprise and rejoin us at this table, where our long patience is still not yet tired of waiting for them." Soon after State Secretary Mar- shall first proposed the aid pro- gram in the United States last June, Russia and other Eastern European countries turned down invitations to take part. eee ee URGES HOSPITAL AID Toronto, April 16--(CP)--Liberal Leader Farquahar Oliver yesterday urged the Ontario government to expand financial assistance to hos- pitals regardless of whether the do- minion vacates the amusement tax field.

Death of the 35-year-old Winni- pegger ended one of the longest le- gal fights for reprieve in Manitoba's history, a fight which extended through three trials, was carried to the Supreme Court of Canada and the federal cabinet, and finished only after 14,000 Winnipeg citizens --including 75 lawyers and'10 mem- bers of the provincial legislature -- had signed a petition urging clem- ency. Deacon Dies on Gallows As Appeals, Petition Fail Contention of defence counsel throughout the case was that Dea- con's conviction was based on cir. cumstantial evidence and as such was unjustified. . Body of Johnson, 48, was discov- ered on a chill spring merning in 1946, lying bludgeoned - and bloody onthe outskirts of Winnipég near his fakxi. An 18-inéh iron: bolt weighing 2% pounds, also was found. Eleven days later--April 11 police announced they were holding | Deacon as a material witness. A charge of murder was laid April 16. A six-day trial ended with Dea. con's eonvietion Nov. 2, 1946. An appeal, first to the Manitoba Court of Appeal, then to the Supreme Court of Canada, resulted in a new trial being ordered. This trial was set aside when one of the jury- men took ill. His third trial-ended in another conviction, the jury de- liberating two hours before teturn- ing their verdict Nov, 4, 1947.

The appeal of Kindy, a Stamford Township boy, and his companion from Glendale, R.I.,, was heard last Monday when judgment was reserv- gd. The youths were convicted in Welland last February and senten. ced by Mr. Justice D. P. J. Kelly. Kindy and Farrthgton were ar- rested early in October in Tulsa, Okla., and were charged jointly with the fatal shooting of Bell, an alleged bootlegger who was found dead on the threshold of his home. In reading the judgment today Chief Justice R. S. Robertson said that evidence amply supported the finding of the jury. If there had been any misdirection by the judge it had been so slight to be of no consequence. Kindy lived with Bell for 13 years and evidence submitted at the trial showed that Farrington had been on a motor trip in Canada when his automobile broke dowa. He had no money so Bell gave him lodging on the night before the shooting. When police examined the dead man his pockets had been turned out and the contents remov. ed. J. J. Robinette, counsel for Kindy, said there was "grave suspicion" that the boys had committed rob- bery, but the question of murder was 'pure speculation." Crown Counsel W. B. Common admitted the circumstantial nature of the evidence but said "there is no other interpretation that the accused were responsible for the death." $15 Fine Sequel To Accident At Manchester Pleading guilty here today to a charge of careless driving, Reginald Cowle, 175 Park Road South, was fined $15 and costs or 15 ddys by Magistrate F, 8. Ebbs. Cowle's driv- ing permit was suspended for one month. Provincial Constable R. N. Wil- liams told the court he investigated an accident on No. 12. Highway in Manchester April 6, when he found a stake-body truck driven by the accused, off the shoulder in a gully. "I deemed the accused in no con- dition to drive a vehicle safely on the highway," testified the officer.

Seize Local Fund UAW Head Office| Doctor Hypnotizes Mother Babe's Birth Is Painless By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, April 16--(CP) -- John Michael Dare, blue-eyed and 8% pounds in weight, probably is the world's youngest publicity hound. He was photographed last night one hour after he was born and had his picture published today before he was six hours old. A two-column photograph in the final morning edition of the Daily Express showed John Michael, his eyes shut and one tiny hand cover- ing his mouth, nestled in the arms of his smiling mother, Mrs. Irene Dare. Above was the caption: "The strange thing about this picture. . . is the time it was taken-- . "Just one hour after the mother was hypnotized." : Responsible for the hypnotic in- fluence under which the child was born was Dr. A. P. Mangonet, youthful Canadian doctor who first won headlines in London newspa- pers last month after Mrs. Joyce Carter gave birth to a seven-pound baby under similar treatment. Mrs, Carter said she had experi- enced no pain and last night the 26-year-old Mrs. Dare echoed the other mother's words. One heur after her baby was born, she sat up for toast and tea, posed for photographers and spoke as 'if she had not a worry in the world. "Everything was wonderful," she said. "The doctor said to me: 'Go to sleep. I'll wake you when the baby | is born.' "I dozed off and heard myself saying: 'I'm going to have a baby and his name will be John.' "I wasn't at all surprised when my husband said to me: 'We've got a son.'" The father, a salesman for a linen export firm, telephoned the Cana- dian Press excitedly and said: "Everything is fine." Dr. Mangonet, who was graduat- ed from Dalhousie Medical School in Halifax and came here from Glace Bay, N. S., in 1939, said the baby was born "without any trou- ' Wool Growers' Organization WOOL SHIP COLLECT TO Our Registered Warehouse No. 1 WESTON, ONTARIO Reliable Grading Prompt Settlement Shippers may obtain sacks and twine without charge from x BOYD AYRE, Hampton RALPH HEPBURN, RR 2, Oshawa STANLEY HOAR, Beaverton or by writing direct to CANADIAN CO-OPERATIVE WOOL GROWERS LIMITED 217 Bay Street, Toronto, Canada W ble at all" "When I arrived at her home she was in pain and rather nervous," said the dector, who calls himself a hypnotherapist. "I put her to sleep almost at once and she did not wake until after the baby was born half an hour later" Dr. Mangonet claims to have cured scores of per- sons of mental and physical ailments by hypnotic treatment allied with regular medica practice. "There is no black magic in what I do. It's simply a matter of talking to the subconscious mind while the patient sleeps." Times-Gazette classified ads pay --Why not try one today?
