MONDAY, JULY 5, 1948 "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE i - V PAGE THREE Dominion Day Actions Of Yugoslavia Pointing To Showdown In Communist Dispute By ALEX H. SINGLETON London, July 5 (AP).--Yugoslav Communists appeared today to have set the stage for an Eastern Euro- pean showdown on the policies of Premier Marshal Tito, now in dis- . favor with Moscow. Tanjug, official Yugoslav news agency, said all Communist parties have been invited to attend the Fifth Congress of Yugoslavia's Communist Party in Belgrade July al. The agency's announcement came only a few hours after a Bulgarian newspaper bluntly called upon the Yugoslavs to say whether they plan to remain in Eastern Europe's Com- munist camp or seek a partnership with the Western Powers. The Sofia newspaper Otecestveni Front, one of the voices of Bul- garia's Communists, said: "Yugo- slavia cannot remain an isolated is- land between two camps. Where will the Yugoslav Communist Party place Yugoslavia?" It was the Soyiet-dominated Cominform (Communist Interna- tional Information Bureau) which turned the heat on Tito by accusing him and his lieutenants of straying away from Marxism and embarking on a nationalist, anti-Russian policy. The Yugoslav Communist party's central committee has de- nied 'the accusations and denounced them as "lies" and "slande:r." The Yugoslav Communist organ Borba offered a clue as to wuucn way Yugoslavia leans, It said: "As far as our stand toward the imperialist is concerned, our friends and enemies know that the policy of Yugoslavia as a part of the forces of world democracy against the im- Perialstie camp will not change one it." Translating the usual Communist cliches, that statement would ap- pear to indicate that Tito's regime does not intend to try to reach an understanding with the Western Powers. A Yugoslav Information Depart- ment announcement distributed in London by Tanjug quoted the Yugo- slav Government as terming "fabri- cation and slander" to a report that Tito will seek benefits from the United States-financed European Recovery Program. Tanjug said Yugoslav authorities have lodged new protests with both Albania and Czechoslovakia as a result of the endorsement of the Cominform's indictment by the Dommuass parties of those coun- ries. Say Cominform Met Bucharest, July 5 (AP). --Well- informed sources said today thay believed a meeting of the Comin- form was held in Bucharest this week-end, possibly to discuss its controversy with Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia.

Reports that the Yugoslav Com- munist party had been formally expelled from the Cominform like- wise could not be confirmed, Ford Stays Open As Trim Strike Is Called Off Windsor, July 5--(CP)--Ford Mo- tor Company of Canada, Limited, to. day cancelled * instructions which would have closed down all passen- ger car operations in its Windsor plant at midnight next Tuesday.

' Veteran And Family Using Old Street Car For Living The Toronto Transportation Com- mission sireet car numbver 1440 is just a little off the track. The pub- lic convayance that once plyed Church Street to Bloor is now the stationary home of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Fox and their two boys saven- year-old Wayne and Harry, one- and-a-half, located on a lot on Stevenson"s Road, Oshawa. When Mr. Fox returned from five years' service as Sergeant-Major in the 11th Canadian Armoured Regi- ment overseas, he decided to build a home for his family, but with ac- commodation limited he was fac- ed with the problem of where to live during the construction period. The answer to the young couple's problem came in the shape of an old, unused street car, one of 200 offered for sale by the T.T.C. Mr. Fox purchased one of the antiquat- ed cars and had it shipped to its present location. "It didn't look so hot when it first arrived," Mr. Fox admitted, "but soon the wife had fancy lit- tle curtains and things up and it looked pretty good in no time." Three Complete Rooms The street car has been cunning- ly arranged and from the inside takes on appearance of a modern 3-room city apartment. A cook stove has been set up in the "mo- torman's' part of the car and three partitions are so set out as to make the three complete rooms. "At first I missed some of the conveniences I was used to, but I've got on to the hang of things now and it's lots of fun," said Mrs. Fox, as she popped a juicy roast of meat from the oven to the icebox. Mrs. Fox was born less than a hundred yards from the spot where the streetcar now stands. Her fa- ther owned the property but it was sold nine 'years ago and Mrs. Fox moved to another part of the city. "I often longed to come back here, but really never thought I wonld," sald Mrs. Fox, Just a few feet from their im- provised home Mr. Fox has begun Quarters work on his five room bungalow. The excavation is complete and he | has begun laying the cement blocks. | Besides her many household duties | and the fulltime task of looking af- | ter two "regular boys", Mrs. Fox | manages to find time to give her husband what help he can with the construction work. Mr. Fox, a G.M. employee, works eight hours in the nickel plating department and hurries home to get on with the job of house build- ing. One of the first problems con- fronting the young couple was that of getting a supply of fresh water, but they quickly overcame the snag by digging a 21-foot well and find- ing a natural water supply. Injured Digging Well It was during the well-digging | program that Mr. Fox, who went all through the European battle- fronts, sustained his first injury. | While wielding a pick, it glanced off a rock and cut his head. The wound was deep and required four stitches. to close. Mr. Fox said that at first neigh- bors were opposed to their bring- ing a streetcar into the township but "we went to the council and | they gave us permission to live in it for six months," Mr. Fox stated. While everything seems to be go- ing well for the Fox family at the moment with their 24x30 foot stuc- co house taking shape, materials becoming more plentiful and the promise of hydro received, they are faced with a difficult problem. The question that looms ahead for Mr. and Mrs. Fox is what to do with the streetcar when the house is ready for occupancy. "If the congested transportation problem in Toronto continues, per- haps the T.T.C. will want it back," said Mr. Fox, but looked rather doubtful about his own idea. Doubt- less baby Harry and brother Wayne have some novel ideas as to what to do with the old car, but Mr. and Mrs. Fox. are $mpletely puzzled as to the future of their present home, ; To Donate Services for Stadium Fund Dance Another of Oshawa's popular orchestras which will play at the big Stadium Benefit Dance, Tuesday, July 6, at Jubilee Pavilion.
