WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1 948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE +." PACE THRER U.S. Government Studies Move To Stop Soft Coal Walkout (Canada Takes Part n Defence Parley With Western Bloc By CLYDE B LACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, July 7 (CP).--Canada Tuesday stepped in as a full participants in discussions of the North American attitude toward the Western European pact for defence. The discussions, called by the United States, will be long drawn out, possibly last three secret. or four months, and will be Lester B. Pearson, Undersecretary ® of State for External Affairs and Canada's No, 1 international ex- pert, came here from Ottawa to join with Ambassador Hume Wrong in representing Canada. . While only the barest and most non-committal statements have been made to the press the impli- cation is that the United States and Canada are considering how far they can go in alliance with the Western bloc for mutual de- fence. Canada's, invitation to the con- ference was a logical move by the United States for at least two rea- ns. They are: i ov Ao and United States defence plans are so integrated that one country could scarcely make any commitments to a third power or group without the concurrence and co-operation of the other. 2. In two major wars in this century Britain has been supported instantly by Canada and there is reason to believe that would not inue to be the case. e United Kingdom is a major force in the Western European Union ,. for defence, along with France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Request of the bloc for an ex- pression from the United States as to its possible aid to the Western alllance in the event of war was followed by a Senate declaration that the Administration should wgssociate" itself with such allian- ces in which United States interests are involved. Robert Lovett, Undersecretary of state, represented the United States at the meeting Tuesday. Others present, in addition to Pear- son and Wrong, were Sir Oliver Pranks, British Ambassador, French Ambassador Henri Bonnet, Belgian Ambassador, Robert. Silvercruys, and Felco Van Kleffens, Ambassa~- dor of the Netherlands. The Luxembourg Ambassador was absent from Washington but is ex- to join the conferees later. 'A 'State Department press officer, Lincoln White, said there would be no detailed revelation of the pro- ceedings until' they are completed. een PRAISE FOR HOSPITAL CARE "Josh" March, 106 Rosedale Ave- nue, who received severe burns in an explosion at the General Mo- tors' plant on May 5th, is now well on the way to complete recovery and is back at work today. Mr. March was a patient in the Oshawa General Hospital for seven weeks and is deeply appreciative of the treatment received there from the medical and nursing staff. cp WILL LAY CHARGE 'Niagara Falls, Ont., July 7--(CP) --Police Chief Melvin Tisdale of Niagara Falls said Monday night a charge of manslaughter will be 1ald against Charles Reid Byrne of Waterbury, Conn., in connection with the death of his fellow-towns- man, Frederick Fraser, 22. Fraser died Monday morning following a ck-automobile collision at an in- tion, Can't Supply Beef May Send Bacon To Fill UK Order Ottawa, July 7 -- (CP) -- An au- thoritative government source Tuesday night said there were strong - indications that Canada would not be able to fill her beef contract with the United Kingdom and that attempts would be made to. supply more bacon instead. The source said one reason was the marked increase in domestic consumption of beef, despite rising prices. Another reason was the ex- pectancy that the United States cattle embargo, uld be lifted this summer whichl\ would drain off about, 400,000 head of Canadian cat~ tle a year. The current United Kingdom food contract calls for 195,000,000 1bs. of bacon, 50,000,000 lbs, of beef and 80,000,000 dozens of eggs. So far this year Canada has been able to send overseas only 18,000,000 lbs. of beef. The source said there was no in- dication as to when the govern- ment intended taking action on lifting the cattle embargo to the United States. "If it is done this summer, then you may be certain there will be a definite shortage of quality beef in Canada." Beef buyers in the United States would pay about 30 per cent more than Canadian buy- ers for the Canadian product. P.E.L Prohibition Law Ends Today After 47 Years Charlottetown, July 7--(CP)--The Prohibition Act today was no long- er in force in Prince Edward Island and after 47 years it was legal to purchase liquor for purely beverage purposes. The new Temperance Act became law when a Royal proclamation making the new legislation effec- tive was signed late Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor J. A. Bernard after Prince Bdward Islanders vot- ed almost three to one for the new Temperance Act in a plebiscite June 28. Official returns showed 21,934 vot- ed for the new act and 7,350 to re- tain 'the old Prohibition Act, which became law in 1901, the year after it was passed by the legislature. Under the Prohibition Act a doc- tor"s prescribtion was necessary to purchase liquor, CHANGE PARADE DATE Toronto, July 7--(CP) -- County Master James Murphy Tuesday an- nounced the Loyal Orange Lodge in this district will hold its July 12 celebrations on July 10, a Saturday, this year. He sald this wil] enable more people to attend. More than 8,000 people are expected to take part in the huge parade, sports pro- gram and picnic, Shortages Hit i By GEORGE DYMOND Cardiff, July T--(CP)--Shortages of materials are hindering a pro- gram to diversifl industry in South Wales, with a resulting spread of unemployment. Basic industries, however, are enjoying sound pros= ity. PY ing the war and since, great progress was made in setting up light industries which would lessen Welsh dependence on the basic in- dustries--coal, shipping, tinplate, The fact there was no alternative employment intensified distress diiring the slump of the "30s. One hundred and fifty factor- tes of this type have been erected and another 100 are planned. They manufacture such goods as nylon, clothing, electrical supplies, furni- te, toys, radio equipment, light ineering products, type carbons, clocks and watches, rail and air- craft components and chemicals. Scarcity of materials, chiefly steel, timber and cement, is holding up development. About 2,500 men were dismissed recently from fac- tories at Bridged, Hirwaun and seforest, 'where "trading estates" have been established especially for ght industries. : There is considerable resentment South Wales' unemployment Ps. as most of the factories were up at government invitation, d it is felt the government has certain responsibility to supply materials. 40,000 Idle More than 40,000, or 5% per ent of the insured working popula- tion, is idle, compared with two per ent in Britain as a whole. Of 28,000 without work, about 12000 are partly-disabled ex-min- ers who can do -only light work. Industries Established In South Wales There are also 12,000 women listed ag unemployed, of whom 5,500 are married. Welsh coal production is rising and last year's output of 21,000,000 tons should be 000,000. (The 211,000,000 tons.) Coal exports are rising sharply, chiefly to South America, where it is hoped to send 500,000 tons this year. It 1s hoped to send Canada 200,000 tons of anthracite compared with 48,000 in 1947. but anthracite is very scarce and this program may not be possible. Big domestic demand for coal, added to the higher export obliga- tions, are imposing a heavy strain increased to 23,- national target is on supplies and it is going to be | 000. difficult to reach targets. The iron and steel trade provides the brightest spot in Welsh: in- dustry. New mills for sheet steel and tinplate under construction at Port Talbot by the Steel Company of Wales are expected to be in op- eration in mid-1951, The new plant is being built at a cost of £60,000.- 000 ($240,000,000). Steel and tinplate works have more orders than they can handle and no new orders for sheets are being accepted. Iron ore imports reached a record 590,000 tons for the year up to May 15. Tinplate exports showed a 50- per-cent gain at 75,000 tons, Iron and steel production is largely for the home market, although exports to May 15 were 80,000 tons, about 8,000 tons less than the same per- iod last year. Trade at Welsh ports is picking up. Shipping. for the first six months of 1948 totalled 5,839,710 tons, an increase of 1,340,367 tons over the same period of 1947. 110 Liberals Will Fashion New Platform By GEORGE KITCHEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, July 7--(CP)--A commit- tee of 110 delegates, as yet unchosen, will have the delicate task of fash- joning a new and revitalized plat- form for the Liberal Party next month, They will be drawn from among the 1,300-odd delegates who will at- tend the party's national conven- tion here Aug. 5, 6 and 7 and will form the convention's resolutions committee, charged with a task ri- valling that of selecting a successor to the party leader, Prime Minister Mackenie King. To a political party, its platform is a vital and all-important thing. It is the document on which the party bases its appea] to the peopie for election to office. Through it, the party seeks to meet the wishes and the preferences of the elector- ate in the governing of the country. Aside from leadership and other considerations, the platform to be shaped at this 1948 Liberal conven- tion, the first such party congress in nearly 30 years, may determine the party's chances of re-election in the next federal vote a year or two hence. Although the last Liberal plat- form was drawn up in 1919, when the party met here in national con- vention and selected Mr. King as leader, the party policies have not remained static. They have been re. vised and refreshed each year by tha Liberal Advisory Council. The 1919 platform contained some 20 planks, three of which were com- plimentary<and 17 of which were "working" resolutions.. Additions have been made from time to time in the light of changing conditions. Observers see the possibility of a behind-the-scenes struggle develop- ing over the platform between these Liberals who have leaned to the left and embraced socialized government services and state trading of basic commodities and those who adhere to the old-line theory of non-inter- ference with business and industry. Britain Will Urge Truce Extension To Jews, Arabs Lake Success, July T -- (AP) -- Britain today drafted a security council proposal calling on the Jews and Arabs to extend the truce in Palestine, The plan set no expiration date for the cease-fire, leaving that issue up to Count Folke Bernadotte in consultation with the two part- ies. The new armistice would re- place the four-week truce which expires Friday. Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Grom- yvko told the council Tuesday that the truce extension and an exami- nation of Count Bernadotte's ac- tivities in the Middle East must be considered together. Gromyko charged the U.N. mediator with ex- ceeding his powers and attempting to revoke the U.N. decision to par- tition the Holy Land. Gromyko sald that under the banner of the present truce, Count Bernadotte had thought up new proposals which were contrary to previous U.N, decisions. Gromyko made no mention of the Arab and Jewish rejection of the Bernadotte plan, which includes assignment of Jerusalem to the Arabs. Informed quarters believed that Gromyko was nettled mostly over Count, Bernadotte's plan for 1,000 volunteers drawn from the United States, France and Belgium to serve as a guard force in Jerusa- lem, and another contingent from the same three countries to work in the port city of Haifa. The United States and France have indicated acceptance of the request. Belgium has not yet re- plied, Housing Problem Fast Improving, Ottawa States Ottawa, July 7--(OP)--The dismal housing situation--hangover of the war years--today is fast improving, Central Mortgage and housing Cor- poration figures show. They point out that better sup- plies of building materials and more available labor encouraged Cana- dian would-be home owners to take out more building loans in May than in any month previous. Attractive lower down payments also_have helped, says the corpora- tion, towards reaching the peak in May of 2,229 National Housing Act loans, involving more than $11,000,- May was a good month, too, as far as weather was concerned and there were about one-third more starts made on new. units that month than in April. Total starts made in May were on 11,407 units; and this the Dominion Bureau of Statistics adds, is just an indication of how the number of starts have risen since January when they to- talled less than 1,700 units. During May, says the Bureau, 6, 284 new dwellings were completed, compared with 6,729 in the previous month, Families moved into an es- timated 24,582 new units during the first five months of 1948. Starts on new buildings had climbed 15 per cent higher in 1948 than a year ago, Of the units completed so far this year, 32 per cent were for rental. Perhaps the only discouraging p:lat about the Canadian housing picture is the length of time tt takes to build a house. The average time still is a little more than seven months, the Bureau's calculations show.

They also disclose a 'revival in Europe of the old speculation that Russia may try (A) to annex Ro- mania and Bulgaria as Soviet re- publics and (B) to put the Red Ar- my back into Czechoslovakia, from which it withdrew at the end of the war. Prevailing opinion among Wash- ington officials seems to be that while the Russians find themselves in a tough spot in their own satel- lite sphere they will try to solve instantly, A Yugoslav bania, for insts coming to the "defence" of an ally. Belgrade has been tossing out warnings to Albania since that country sided witth the Cominform in the celbrated Yugoslav dispute. Bary today a Tass dispatch from Tirana said Abania is taking "strong measures" to guard her borders with Yugoslavia and Greece against "hostile elements." But there was no mention of any actual border clash, The, view that Russia will refrain from any outright military move also is expressed by officials here in dis- cussing the Berlin situation, There the Soviet Unioi has run headlong into a stone wall of oppo- sition from the Western Powers. Diplomats said today that any doubt remaining in the Kremlin about the intentions of the United States, Britain and France to hold their places in the beleaguered city must have been destroyed by the notes which all three governments sent to Moscow yesterday. Parallel evidence of the Western Powers' determination to strengthen their position in Europe was given Russia in the conferences just starred here on ways of providing American military support for the Western European Union. The Am- bassadors of Britain, France, and the Benelux countries opened the talks Tuesday with Rabert Lovett, Undersecretary of State, and repres- entatives of the Canadian Govern- ment. Thus Russia appears for the mom- ent to be in essentially defensive positions on both the Eastern and Western fronts of the cold war.

Claim Jesse James Escaped, Ran Stables In Kemptville Ottawa, July T--(CP)--A ghostly figure, that of Jesse James, today may be galloping through the streets of Kemptville, just 20 miles south of Parliament Hill, Qr if he is still alive in California, then he has memories, an Ottawa woman says, of Kemptville red-car- petted stables and horses that net- ted him a fortune. Furthermore, says Mrs. Bessie Reid of Oftawa, she is the great granddaughter of the famous des- perado and she can tel] you the whole dawgoned story of how Jesse wasn't killed after all in 1882. "History is wrong," says Mrs. Reid. "The man Bob Ford shot £14 killed at St. Joseph, Mo., wasn't James but actually Charlie Bigelow, a detec- tive, She says Bigelow and Ford, a re- negade gumtnan, both learned of Jesce's habit of sleeping between two feather ticks. Bigelow got to Jesse's hideout, hid between the ticks and waited for the gun-toting James. But in came Ford, saw the ticks moving and let fly with a burst of lead. So they buried Bigelow and history and the law wrote James off as dead. Figuring it was time to shake loose, Jesse lit out for the Canadian border. According to Mrs. Reid, he ended up in Kemptville, raising hor- ses so successfully that he even put red carpets in his stables. And that was when Mrs. Reid came in. She claims she's the dafigh. ter of Jesse's grandson, Dalton O'Brian, who abandoned his family for a gold rush and was killed in a barroom brawl. O'Brian, so-called because he didn't want people to kno7 he was James' grandson, was born of the marriage of James' ion! and Jenney Hemingway during the years James lived in Kemptville, That's the story that came down through the years, Mrs. Reid finally let the public know, So if that's really James they have out there in California, Mrs. Rei wants to know. . . She's got a few more words to say that's best not told to other people's ears.

It also inspired a few brickbats from op- ponents of the plan. Under the agreement, approved by Parliament Tuesday night, Brit- ain will receive about $1,200,000,000 during the first year. London newspapers the story top play. "We are indeed incurring a heavy burden of responsibility," the Lib- eral News Chronicle commented. "But it is clear , . . We are not béing asked to make any promises which we cannot honorably per- form, We can discharge this debt by intelligent use of our resources and by diligent hard work." The Daily Herald, Labor, said: "Aid has been given and accepted because it is realized on both sides of the Atlantic that Britain has an essential part to play in world peace and progress." Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, a consistent opponent of Britain's participation in the plan, thunder- ed against the agreement, asserting that "another step has been taken in the direction of liquidating the British Empire." The Communist Daily Worker also took a swipe at the agreement, saying that "Britain is now in a dependent position." FRANCE ACCEPTS Paris, July 7--(AP)--The Nation- al Assembly ratified today an agree- ment with the United States calling for France's participation in the Marshall Plan for European recov- ery.

Of this amount $75,000,000 is tabbed as a Joan and the remainder as a direct grant. gave Pickering Increases Number Polling Places Brougham, July 6. -- Pickering township council passed a bylaw creating five more polling booths throughout the township.

The band has always been po- pular in Oshawa, having played here and received a warm re- ception on a number of occasions. One of the leading bands in the Queen City, it is composed of mus- fcians of marked ability. Keen rivalry has prevailed be- tween the Oshawa Regimental and Civic Band and the Toronto band, but it has been a friendly rivalry as the local band has on several oc- caslons accepted invitations to play as the guests of the Toronto mus- iclans. This year the rivalry will be renewed as both are entered to take part in the band competi- tion at the Canadian National Ex- hibition. Kiwanis Enjoy Lawn Luncheon At Rosshaven Members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, together with several Ki- wanians from out-of-town clubs visiting in the city for the day, held their annual summer meeting' at "Rosshaven," home of Kiwanian Alex. Ross, on Tuesday noon. The meeting was strictly infor- mal, with the Kiwanians helping themselves at the buffet, loaded with salads, cooked meats, etc., and concluded their lunch with gener- ous portions of fresh strawberries and ice cream. President "Shorty" Reynolds wel- comed the visiting Kiwanians and announced plans for the future ac- tivities of the club during the sum- mer months. Kiwanian Ral, Huestis moved a vote of sincere appreciation to the "Kweens" who prepared the lunch. Kweens "Doll" Ross, Elsie Ross and Laura Brown, called captive mines started becauss the steel companies refused to sign the contract with John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers Union (Ind.), It was accepted by the rest of the nited States coal producers. The steel producers approved the $l-a-day wage increase and a 20- cent-a-ton miners' welfare fund royalty but claimed a union shop clause in the agreement violates the Taft-Hartley Labor Act. Aides of Robert N. Denham, gene eral counsel of the National Labos Relations Board, are busy investie gating the steel industry's charges, These are that Lewis and his union committed unfair labor practices in insisting on the union shop, a form of compulsory union membership, without a prior N.LR.B. election among. the miners. Denham's assistants hoped to fine ish their work in time for Denham to decide before nightfall whether the steel industry charges are valid enough for him to issue a formal complaint, Once Denham signs a complaing he can ask a federal court for a strike-banning injunction to last until the charges can be sifted as N.L.R.B. hearings. New York, July 7 (AP).--Loss of steel output from a prolonged shut down of "captive" coal mines would be a severe shock to American steel consumers, the defence program in the United States, and the Euroe pean Recovery Plan, the Iron Age, metalworking trade weekly said today. It noted an earlier coal strike this year cost production of 1,600,000 tons of steel "that cannot be made up." This week's output, estimated by the Iron Age at 93 per cent of cae pacity, was described as "far below the total demand." Reporting the steel wage problem "will come to a head soon" and a steel price rise "certainly will fole low," the publication sald: "One major problem still ied is scrap. It has the steel ind more worried than anything elses right now. Even with summer daya when scrap is supposed to be move ing fast, this week supplies are dwindling, demand is high and the strait-jacket put on prices is crack. ing open at the seams." If scrap imports are not speeded up, and if higher prices fail to bring out any more scrap than is moving now, said the Iron Age, the steel in dustry can not operate at top speed next winter.
