' : Deny Vote (Continued from Page 1) meni, any strike vote must be held | with a secret ballot under the su- pervision, of an official appointed by the Minister of Labor and added that under the Rand formula all employees, both union and non-un- ion; are entitled to vote. . Burt last night said that, having cleared the way for the union-required strike vote, he had wired Ontario Labor Minister Charles Daley to ask him to con- duct the Rand vote. "We are doing things in their proper order," 'he said. In recommending that the mem- Bers vote to strike, union leaders charged that the company is try- ing to hold its workers to a 1939 standard of living. They did not regard the escalators clause offered by the company whereby increases are granted after the living index passes the 166 mark. At last night's membership meet- ing all references to an affirmative strike vote brought rounds of ape plause. Lebanon Lodge .

Matthew Gouldburn at the piano, Ray and Ron Walker 'of thesOshawa Regimental and Civic Band, contributed two delightful tornet duets which were very much wppreciated by the gathering, Ery a classified ad in The Times-. Gazette--It will get good resulis, v 15 Bullets Hit Plane of U.N.; Egypt Blamed Rhodes, June 25-- (AP) -- Count Folke Bernadotte's headquarters announced today that Egyptian fighters aircraft had attacked a Un- ited Nations plane in Palestine. The announcement said 15 hits were registered on the U. N. Plane. The American pilot was not injur- ed. Bernadotte, the U. N, mediator, said he had protested to the Egyp- tian government. The attack was reported to have taken place early today as the U. N. plane was land- ing in Jewish territory near Negba, in the southern Palestine desert of Negeb. Loses License For Six Months Charged with careless driving and dangerous driving, Kenneth Bell, 631 Durie Street, Toronto, ap- peared before Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs today. The charge of danger- ous driving was, withdrawn' and pleading guilty to the careless driv- ing charge, Bell was fined $50 and costs or one month in the County Jail, and his driving license was suspended for six months. Bell was charged following an accident on Highway 2A, in the Township of Pickering, on May 15. According to the evidence of Pro- vincial Police Constable, C. Heffer- an, Bell was proceeding east on the highway when he overtook collided with two bicycle riders, James Tippet, 91 Highland Avenue, and Edwin Farrow, 94 Ritson Road South, both of Oshawa. Examining skid marks at the scene of the accident, the constable estimated one of the victims was thrown a distance of 50 feet and the other was carried py Stow, ios feet from t! int of impact. 'Tippet an were confined to hospital for a few days. Magistrate Ebbs sald that he could not understand how Bell miss- ed seeing the bicyclists. 'As the constable testified it was a clear | day and there was no other traffic |near at the time. There might be | some excuse if it had been at night or if it was raining. It shows you how dangerous it is to take your eyes off the road or become divert- ed." ' Counsel for defense, A.J.P. Camer- on, pleaded that if Bell's license was suspended for six months he would 'be deprived of a means of livellhood as Bell depended on his car in hig business as a salesman. The nragistrate replied that the conviction of careless driving and it could not be ghanged except by the Minister of Ontario Department of Highways. CCF Returned (Continued from Page 1) C.CF. landslide swept the province. The previous legislature had an actual membership of 55, three members representing the armed services, The seats were discon- tinued at dissolution of the legis- lature May 19. With close battles in many seats, there remained the possibility of several recounts. - They seemed al- most certain in Hanley and in Mel- fort where Mr. Valleau lost by 23 votes to John Egnatoff, a Liberal with official Conservative support, In Humboldt and Redberry where Liberals won by narrow margins, recounts also were possible. Informal coalitions of Liberals | and Conservatives in 10 seats paid off' in only three. Hamilton Mec- Donald was the sole Liberal- Progressive Conservative elected but two Liberals with official Con- servative backing--Mr. Egnatoff in Melfort and J. E. McCormack in Souris-Estevan--were successful. The coalitions were aimed at de- feating seven C.C.F. cabinet mini- sters, but Mr, Valleau was the only one defeated ih a coalition riding. Both women candidates lost out. Mrs. Beatrice J. Trew, former C.C.F. member for Maple Creek lost to a Liberal and Mrs. Isobel Pax- man, Social Credit, was defeated by Premier Douglas. Mr. Tucker, 49-year-old former parliamentary assistant to the Mini- ster of Veterans Affairs, was the first member to be elected, Premier Douglas was the second. Premier Douglas, a former Bap- tist minister, defeated Dr. F. C. Eaglesham, the son of the man who defeated him in the 1934 pro- vincial election--Mr, Douglas' first bid for office. Votes in the northern ridings of Athabaska and Cumberland will be held July 22. The vote was defer- red because of the late spring thaw in the north. Premier Douglas said he inter- preted the vote, not as an endor- sation of everything the govern- ment had done but "rather as a vote of confidence that we are on the right track." ® It showed that the people be- | lieved "the C.C.F. is genuinely con- cerned for. the welfare of the average citizen and will do every- thing within its power to further their best interest." At Rosthern, Mr. Tucker said the vote showed that the Social Credit candidates: might have succeeded in "breaking up the anti-socialist vote to save the government by the skin of its teeth." Mr. Ramsay said his party was satisfied with the vote' of the ma- jority, but the vote showed "our | electoral machinery is out of date and does not provide for the voice of the majority." Only one Labor-Progressive party candidate was running and he was defeated in Pelly, Banks, Liberal, won the seat from the C.C.F. In other ridings, the L.P.P. supported the C.C.F. despite C.C.F. 'repudiation of Communist support. CHAMBER HOLDING SMOKER The members. of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce are halding a smoker in Hotel Genosha at 6:30 p.m. today.

They stopped traffic Thursday on the single railroad line supply- ing those sectors with food from the western occupation zones. The blockade left air the only way to get food in to the 2,000,000 inhabitants of the British, Ameri- can, and French sectors. British and American authorities said a month's food stocks are on hand in the western sectors and nobody will starve. The people remained outwardly calm in the face of efforts of the Soviet-controlled press to spread fear of hunger and unemployment and a Russian threat to keep the rail freight tieup on indefinitely. By their action the Russians withdrew from the four-power food pool which for nearly three years had been feeding Berlin. Each occupying power has been contributing to this pool, adminis- tered by the allied kommandatura and the city government. The western supplies have to come in from the western occupa- tion zones. They can't come in so long as the rail line is blocked. In the British, American and French sectors, Geérmans began | trading their money for the new | Deutche mark, which was put in | competition here with the eastern | German money the Russians in-| | troduced Thursday. London, June 25--(AP) -- For- eign Secretary Bevin told the Com- | mons today that a "delicate state lof affairs" exists in Russian-block- aded Berlin. | He said the Russian embargc on road and rail shipments from the | west, and interrupted power serv- | ice in the city, have resulted in a | | serious situation, | | But, he added, Berlin inhabitants | | are displaying great calmness and | are showing no sign of being inti- | midated. He said the British Com- | mander in Berlin reported suffi-| | cient foed stocks on hand to "ren- | der any immediate anxiety unnec- | | essary." | To a question whether Britain in- [tend to stay permanently in Ber- lin, he said he would add nothing to a speech he made some days ago when he said British occupation forces will remain in Berlin "what- ever provocation there may be." Republican Choice (Continued from Page 1) close on the heels of a series of con- fident reports that opponents were engineering a coup to keep him out of the running. In 1944, at the Chicago conven- "the champ"--Franklin Roosevelt tion, Dewey was nominated on the first ballot. He went out to meet and lost. This time, his jubilant support- ers rejoice, he is not meeting "the champ," but likely his opponent will be President Harry Truman who succeeded to the office when Roosevelt died in April 1945 ana whose logical supporters are badly divided and uncertain as to their choice. Philadelphia, June 25 -- (AP) -- Comebacks are nothing new for Thomas Edmund Dewey, first un- successful Republican candidate for President ever to be renominated. The career of the 46-year-old New York Governor has been marked by "Try, try, again' victories. Ten years ago, after Dewey had | risen to fame as Manhattan"s rac- | ket-busting district attorney, the Republican party nominated him for Governor, He lost the election to Democratic Governor Herbert Lehman on that first try. Two years later, in 1940, Dewey went after the Republican Presi- dential nomination. Darkhorse Wendell L. Willkie beat him. Republicans gave Dewey another crack at the Governorship in 1942, This time he made it, defeating State Attorney-General John Ben- nett, the Democratic nominee, | Although Dewey never announc- | ed he was a presidential candidate, he was nominated virtually by ac- clamation at Chicago in 1944, He failed to stop President Roose- velt's wartime re-election for a fourth term, but he polled the se- cond largest number of popular | votes of any Republican presiden- tial candidate in United States his- | tory--22,006,285 against Willkie"s 122,304,755 in 1940. | His party renominated him for | | Governor in 1946, and he was re- elected by a record majority of | 687,000 over Senator James M, | Mead, Democrat. Dewey's roots, personal and poli- ical, are in the middle west. He {Was born in Owosso, Mich, March | | 24, 1902. | His father, the late George Dew- | | ey, edited the Owasso weekly news- paper. F i n Sundays, Dewey sang in the | Episcopal Church choir. His bari- | | tone gained him state-wide notice | | while he was attending the Univer- | | sity of Michigan and led to his mar- | {riage in 1928 to Frances Eileen | Hutt of Sapulpa, Okla. i | The Deweys have two children, | | Tom Jr, 15, and John, 12, | LARGE POSTAL PICNIC | Lakeview Park will be the scene, ! tomorrow afternoon, of the annual | picnic of the Toronto Postal Em- ployees.

Hall stated this morning that he had received a report on the deaths of Mr. and Mrs, Howard C. Bradley of Oshawa, but that he had. not as yet had time to study it and make a deci- sion regarding an inquest, | Remove Excise Taxation Price Committee Urges Ottawa, June 25 -- (CP) -- The Prices Committee's report to parlia- ment recommends that the govern- ment consider removing the special 25-per-cent excise tax on "com- modities in common use," the Ca- nadian Press learned today. It also recommends that the gov- ernment consider lifting the import, restrictions on certain fruits and vegetables. (Finance Minister Abbott said in the Commons that import restric- tions on fresh fruits and vegetables from the United States will be re- laxed by the year-end.) These, an informed source said, are the most important of 14 rec- ommendations contained in the re- port. Other recommendations: 1, That a commission under the Public Inquiries Act be established to continue the work of the Prices Committee. 2. That the government consider amending the Compapies Act to provide for more comp disclosure of information of inve reserves maintained by firms. 3. That consideration be given to restricting price rises by taxing "unreasonable profits." 4. That the present funds" at the disposal of the combines investiga- tion commissioner are insufficient, although his activities tend to re- strict price rises. 5. That the government consider special legislation which would per mit specific action to be taken against firms where evidence dis- closes "flagrant cases of profiteer- ing." 6. That the government give con- sideration to a review of rent con- trols. 7. That in considéring the re- moval of embargoes on the export of foods from Canada the govern- ment should also consider the sup- ply position in this country and seek to balance the interests of producers and customers. 8. That the government. instruct the Dominion Bureau of Statistics to prepare and publish an analysis showihg the division of the con- sumers dollar between the various factors making up the selling price of an article, ' 9. That the interests of the con- sumers would not be safeguarded by a return to an over-all system of price and other controls but that consideration should be given to the reimposition of certain control mea- sures and "some measure of tem- porary subsidy" where hardship would otherwise result. 10. That provision be made in the incorporation of companies for a uniform system of business account- i ng. 11. That increased production is the only permanent answer to the countries price problems. 12. Since constitutional difficul- ties ht arise in a permane federal \{nterest in prices the co operation of the provinces should be sought. $1 a Day Boost For U.S. Miners Washington, June 25 (AP)-- John L. Lewis and most of the soft coal operators today signed a new coal contract providing a $1-a-day wage increase and twice as much money for the Miners' Welfare- Pension Fund. An official of the steel-industry- owned coal mines had announced earlier he would not sign the agreement. A joint announcement by Lewis and the operators who signed said the new contract--except for the increased wages and pension fund | --kept "all other terms and condi- tions of the previous wage agree- ment." This includes an outright con- tinuation of a union shop provi- sion, despite a federal Taft-Hartley Labor Act ban against the union shop unless it is authorized by the National Labor Relations Board. This union shop clause ' caused Harry Moses to balk dt. signing for the steel-industry-owned "captive" coal mines. The new contract is effective July 1 and will replace one expiring June 30. The miners, however, start their annual 10-day vacation tomorrow and will not return to work until July 6. 2 NEW Frazer Manhattans Just In At the Old Price 2 Flee Bowmanville, Captured In Toronto Toronto, June 25--(CP)--An ob- servant citizen and an off-duty po- liceman joined forces Thursday to bring about the recapture of two teen-age boys, who escaped from the Ontario Reformatory at Bow- manville, Charles Thomas of Toronto had his suspicions aroused when he saw the boys dashing down the street in front of his home. He notified his neighbor, Constable John Ait- | ken, who arrested the escaped pair. The boys will he returned to re- | formatory today.

Ship Stoned By Crewmen Cornwall, June 25 (CP). -- One ship was stoned and crewmen of another vessel were pelted with eggs during brief outbreaks of vio- lence along Cornwall canal late Thursday. Sequel to the stoning incident was the arrest of Leo Cartier, of Moose Creek, a C.8.U. picket who was booked on a vag- rancy charge. Michael Jackson, Great Lakes director of the Canadian Seamen's Union, charged today stoning of the C.8.L. freighter Maple Heath was touched off when one of the ship's officers pointed a shotgun at pickets standing along the canal bank. Police quickly quelled the outbreak, and arrested Cartier. The vessel was not damaged. When another C.S.L. vessel, the Grainmotor, passed the steamer John B. Richards, owned by the Upper Lakes Navigation Company her crew members were showered with eggs by CSU. crewmen aboard the Richards. The incident took place near lock 15. The CS8.U. has a contract with the Up- per Lakes firm, Training Ship -- (Continued from Page 1) inches in length and has a 19-foot beam. It has a steel hull and was signed by George Owen, the amous yacht designer, in 1921. It carries 3,280 square feet of canvas and many thousands of feet of rig- ring. It has five cabins and a main cabin now called the Wardroom, and has diesel auxiliary power. The permanent crew is composed of ex-naval personnel, the com- manding officer, P. M. Pangman, having served as a lieutenant dur- ing the war. The Navy League op- crating committee is headed by E. B. McPherson, K.C., chairman, and includes H, N. Bawden, William Gooderham, Frank M. Jeffrey and Charles E. Bourke. Oshawa clilzens will no doubt turn out in large numbers to wel- come the "Oriole IV" when it docks at Oshawa at approximately 4:30 p.m. Sunday. The interest of citizens is increased by reason of the fact that both the Navy League of Canada and the 8ir Francis Drake Sea Cadet Corps of Oshawa are among the activities that participate in 'the Oshawa Community Chest which has been the medium through which the people of Oshawa have contributed to many worthwhile or- ganizations for the past several years. Both the Navy League of Canada and the local Sea Cadet Corps will be included in the Com- munity Chest campaign again this year. Mr. George Mitford, representing the Navy League of Canada, was in- vited to be present at a meeting of the Community Chest executive on Wednesday afternoon of this week and told briefly of the acti- vities of the Navy League with par- ticular reference to the new train- ing ship "Oriole IV" which will visit Oshawa next Sunday.

Robert Schumacher of Midland and Michael Harnack of Welland charged with intimidation, were re- manded until June 30 on bail of $1.- 000. On charges of threatening, four others -- Chester McArthur, Goderich; Edward Rogoginsky, To- ronto; Fred Stroude, Petrolia, and W. D. Hesk, Londesborough, Ont.-- were remanded on $1,000 bail to | July 7. The boarding of the Superior was | an incident in the strike the C.S.U. called June 5 to force Canada Steamship Lines, - Sarnia Steam- ships, Colonial Steamships and Northwest Steamships to sign con- tracts with it. The lines, which claim the C.SU. is Communist-led, have manned their ships with mem- bers of the Canadian Lake Sea- men's Union (Ind.). Word of the breakdown of the mediation efforts came from the Trades and Labor Congress, with which the C.8.U. is affiliated. Other developments Thursday included the arrest of 10 C.S.U. members on assault charges follows ing a fight with C.L.S.U. men nine miles west of Welland.
