THURSDAY, JULY 1948 THE DAILY TIVES GAZETTE Owercome By Fumes, PAGE THREE hiee Drown In North York Well Drug Ring Probe Shifts To Oshawa Vancouver, July 7--(CP)--An ob- scure patrol-wagon driver is today one of Vancouver's best-known po- licemen, He-is Joe Cotter, whose voluntary investigation led to the smashing of an international narcotic ring, and seiure of a $400,000 mache of Mexi- can herpin. : Royal Canadian Mounted Police made the seiure in a downtown rooming house after the 34-year-old city policeman had laid the ground- work. Two men were arrested and in court today. Bail was set at $20,000 for William Kushnik, 32-year-old Vancouver mechanic, and $7,500 for Ronald D. Dean, 24, a recent arrival from Toronto. Both were remanded to July 15 on charges of possession of narcotics, Today, investigation shifted (to Oshawa, mailing point of a parcel hold more than a pound of ap- parently pure heroin and 5000 emp- ty gelatine capsules in which the underworld distributes narcotics. Police Chief Walter Mulligan said Kushnik had $2,880 in his possession when arrested. Constable Cotter is the toast of the police department. He has been on the force for nine years. Now he wants to be a detective. "He's a fine officer," said Chief Mulligan. "I think we'll see what we can do for him." - Cotter called it "just a lucky break." He became suspicious of one of the men, and kept watch on his room. He had an analysis made of containers taken from the room, and more observations were follow. ed by a police trap which "netted" he two accused. Actor Questioned In Suicide Death Of Carole Landis Hollywood, July 8--(AP)--British Actor Rex Harrison faced coroner's questioning today in connection with the suicide of screen star Carole Landis. Harrison apparently was the last person to see the blonde actress alive at her Riviera home Sunday and was the first to discover her body slumped on her bathroom floor the following afternoon. Meantime, search continues for a second will. The only one found so far was filed in 1944. The film star's property settle- ment with W, Horace Schmidlapp, her recently divorced fourth hus- band was final except for her signa. ture. Jerry Giesler, Miss Landis' lawyer said she had agreed to it or- ally and had promised to sign it lust Tuesday, But death interven- Giesler took little stock in reports that financial distress contributed to the star's suicide. Money from the gale of her house, he said, would have paid all her bills and left a considerable sum besides. He believ- | ed the actress took the overdose of | sleeping pills impulsively as a re- | sult of a "sudden, great shock," and ineh changed her mind -- but too ate.

'Ike' Definitely Won't Be Drafted For Nomination By JACK BELL Philadelphia, July 8 -- (AP) -- President Truman's aides counted Gen. Eisenhower definitely and finally out of the Democratic pres- idential race today. They did this, a Truman spokes- man told a reporter, after receiving private assurances from two close personal friends of the General. The word they took to the White House was that Eisenhower himself believes he left no loophole for a draft movement in his statement that he couldn't take any party's nomination. The wartime European command- er gave some public support to this view when he told a crowd of 5,000 gathered before his New York City home Wednesday night to chant "We Want Ike" that "All T have to say I said in a letter the other night." This was the statement in which the Columbia University President declared he "could not accept nom- ination for any public office." Demoeratic Chairman J. Howard McGrath put the "definite and final" label on Eisenhower's draft renunciation at a press conference here Wednesday, adding: "I couldn't conceive that the Democratic convention would exer- cise such poor judgment as not to take General Eisenhower at his word." James Roosevelt, travelling to- ward Philadelphia with the weighty 52-vote California delegation, said at Salt Lake he thinks Eisenhower still woud accept the nomination if the convention opening Monday demonstrates that the party is united behind him. Truman's aides said some sugges- tions had been made that Roosevelt be named as the vice-presidential candidate in a compromise move. They added they had rejected this proposal. Out of all this Truman-Eisen- hower talk came a new voice to urge a compromise on Justice Wil- liam O. Douglas of the United States Supreme Court. Walter P. Reuther, the United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.), said his union' looks on Douglas as "a man whose universal appeal can unite the Democratic Part) and the independent vote."

Open House Success Bradley's school pupils aided by | the teacher, Eileen Farrow, and sponsored by the Home and School Club staged an Open House for in- terested citizens on June 16. Somples of the daily productivity of the students, plus evidence of their hobbies contributed to the evening. As spectators entered the main entrance they were faced with "Sarah's Hen", pecking away at her food as she displayed her charms in a cardboard carton. To her right were 'Pat and Mike", two coy little kittens with ribbons around their necks, and next were several rabbits munching in a large wooden house. Other displays included the art exhibit, the plasticine creations of the younger students, small model houses, complete with modelled Te- sidents, samples of lettering, geogra- phical maps and a dozen and one other varieties of the work done by children including those opening their scholastic careers and others who were in the Entrance Class. The program included folk and ballet dancing by a group of girls from Oshawa public school, short addresses by School Inspector T. R. McEwen and Murray McRae, who is assisting Agricultural Represen- tative E. A. Summers, during the summer holidays. There were also musical numbers by Alex Stackaruk, violinist. The The orginal Bradley's ac- cording to the schoo! register, was built between 1840 and 1850, with Mr. Bradley being one of the first pupils, Since that time two other schools have been erected, the se- cond on the north-west corner of the intersection and the present one on the south-west commer. In the early days there were as many as 80 pupils. Unfortunately no complete history of the school has been pre- served so that it is impossible to detail the teachers who served there.
