Malaya Situation Reported Better By Commander ' Ruala Lumpur, Malaya, July 27-- (Reuters) -- Maj.-Gen. C. H. Bou- cher, General Officer Commanding in Malaya, today reported a "slightly better" situation in Mal- aya. "We are beginning to get results now," he told the legislatative council, but added a warning that until the formidable task of prop- erly organizing and training the police was completed there would be a critical time with Communist guerrillas for the next few months. The Communist "liberation ar- my" expected complete mobilization by Sept. 1, but already its activity had decreased particularly in the south. Inche Zainal Abidin Bin Haji Abas, Secretary-General of the United Malays National Organiza- tion, biggest Malay political body, told the council that Malaya now needed British protection and wan- ted it to ge given effectively and now. _ A dispatch from Hong Kong said the first batalion of the Royal In- iskilling Fusiliers, ordered to Sing- apore to help quell the disorders, was expected to leave Hong Kong on Friday, though sailing might be delayed by a hyphoon in the China Sea. Slingapore reports sald that about 100 armed Chinese today oc- cupied and set fire to every build- ing in the Temiang Renchong es- tate in the Muar district of Johore despite resistance led by the Eu- ropean manager who hurled six grenades at the attackers.

Editor Sees No Big Move To Australia By LESLIE BRODIE Canadian Press Correspondent Canberra, July 27--(CP)--C. 8S. McNulty, the Sydney Daily Tele- graph's London editor, said in a dis- patch to his paper that Australia's hopes of a a mass migration movement from Britain to this country have little chance of being fulfilled. . - London newspapers have given prominence to the proposed plan, which Prime Minister Chifley has taken with him to London, and say that it will be shelved at least until Britain's economic position returns to normal. In his dispatch, McNulty said the British government has no inten- tion of subscribing to such a plan. He cabled that America expects as part of Marshall loan conditions that Britain will concentrate not only on her own economic revival but also on 'the 16 other nations subscribing to the Marshall Plan. "Whitehall is convinced that America will look with disfavor on any substantial movement of man- power away from Britain during the Marshall Plan period--the next four years," he added. Here at Canberra, how ever, Arthur A. Calwell, federal minister of immigration, is confident the scheme will succeed--if not entirely, at least in part. Calwell maintains that the planned transfer of British" peovle | and their associated industries repre. | sent a common-sense solution Bo! the problem of over-crowded Brit- ain. He says that recent political developments highlight Australia's special advantages as-the new Bri- tish homeland for transplanted communities and industries. PRIME MINISTER AGREES | It is known that the prime min- ister shares Calwell's view, but as 2 long-term policy rather than as an urgent necessity. Australia's population is increas- ing much too slowly for the immi- gration minister, who set a min- imum of 70,000 new settlers a year when he introduced his post-war migration policy. Last year the increase was only 11,661. Latest figures available in- dicate the number will increase con- siderably for this year. The Baltic countries have proved a rich source of immigrants. Ar- rangements have been made for bringing out 200,000 displaced per- sons of Baltic origin. American ship- ping is beng sought by thie federal government for this purpose, Calwell said in an interview that representations have been made to President Truman to obtain the United States government's aid in getting the ships so that Australia could match America's decision to admit the same number of displaced Balts to America as permanent settlers, More than 5,000 displaced Balts have already been brought out by the Australian government. They have been taken to specially prepared camps in Victoria and New South Wales to teach them the initial ways of Australian life before they are put to work. They come out under a two-year contract to the government. During that period they must work where the government wants them to, but after that they will be free to work when and how they please.

Tailor-Made Headaches Help Doctors in Study | By FRANK CAREY Rochester, Minn.--(AP)--Tailor- made headaches -- induced in pat- ients to simulate natural attacks-- are helping doctors make headway against one of medicine's common- est, but toughest, problems. Doctors produce such "provoca- tive" headaches by methods rang- ing from the use of certain chemi- cals to a generous swig of ice wat- er. Sometimes a headache can be induced by having a patient lift a heavy suitcase. The idea is this: Patients often visit a doctor when they are free of the head pain that may have plagued them at regular intervals for years. Some can give a goed enough history and analysis of the pain so the doctor can make a direct attack. Others can't. To attempt treatment, the doctor has to know the location and char- acter of the natural pain. So re- searchers at Mayo Clinic here and at other places produce headaches of one or more varieties until they match the discomfort the patient feels during a natural attack. Then they try various drugs to eombat this tailor-made attack, and sometimes succeed. The substance that euts short the induced attack is recommended against the nat- ural attack, and here again there have been successes. Various Types Among the various types of head« aches are: : 1. Histamine cephalgia one of the severeest forms. It is caused by localized release in the body of histamine, a substance which caus- es certain blood vessels to expand abnormally. Une promising attack against this amaunts, in effect, to fighting fire with fire. The treatment tries to "desensitize" the body to the ef- fects of histamine by gradually building up resistance to it. 2. Certain headaches also are ascribed to allergies--such as sen- sitivity to certain kinds of food. © 3.Migraine, the periodic "sick" This organization would like take this opportunity everybody who helped with dona- Exhibition Quilt, the school on Wednesday, July 28. It is the hope of the committee | that the ladies who have been ask- ed to help will be present. headache associated with nausea, vomiting, spots before the eyes, and a family history of similar head- aches. 4. "Tension headache," the head- ache of worry-warts, the people who never learned to relax. It's al- so the headache that sometimes af- fects people who aren't constitu tionally fitted to cope with life's ordinary stresses, or that some- times hiis super-personalities who try to take on too big a job. When they get tense, the blood vessels co:.strict, Later the. blood vessels over-relax, and headache results. Sometimes a vacation 'will dn as muck good as any drug treat- ment. 5. Hypertension headache, one due to high blood pressure. 6. Trifacial neuralia, a lightning- like pain radiating from the facial regions. It can be caused in sus- ceptible people by various stimuli. 7. "Effort Headache, caused in some people by ordinary physical stresses such as lifting a heavy suit- case or even coughing and sneezing. 8. Arteriosclerotic headache, some- times associated with hardening of certain arteries in the region of the brain. Its more like a pressure than a pain, although. sometimes it may exist as a stabbing headache. 9, ostraumatic headache, One pa- tient was an Army Air Corps captain who had been shot down over Berlin, He came down by parachute but a civilian struck him on the head with a shovel. He suffered headaches for a year and a half, Under histamine injections at St. Mary's Hospital he was freed of pain, Numerous odd-type headaches add to the complexity of diagnosis. Various substances other than histamine have proved useful in giv- ing more or less permanent relief in some cases of some forms of headache. Some forms are help-d only hy surgicah treatment, Since: many headaches are ascribed to abnormal expansion of certain blood vessels, most of the drugs employed to combat the pain are those that cause constriction or the supplied transportation Mrs. narrowing of these vessels. Many Enjoyed Harmony Picnic, Softball Game . MRS. K. R. FLETCHER. | Correspondent | Harmony, July 27 -- No doubt | many of you are wondering (those of 'you who couldn't . be there) whether the supper and exhibition ball game held last Thursday at the school, was a success, or not. Both from a financial and com- munity ° standpoint, it -was a big success. Tables, attractive with bouquets of mixed roses, were, fill- | ed over and over again, and every- body seemed to be having a good time. : . Many nice things were said abou the meal; some people saying to-be sure and let them know when an- other such sipper was put' on. { One, thing: we .do know, and that, is, that the success 'of any com- munity 'venture depends on every- one pitching in and doing 'their bit. An example of this was shown last Thursday, fromthe girls' soft- ball team, coached by Mrs. Noakes, who staged a home-made candy sale, with the Boy 'Scouts, who with leader Jimmie Hare, did a flour- ishing business at their pop and ice- cream booth,. right: down to the men' who helped carry- tables and chairs outside, and the girls who volunteered their services as wait- Tesses. After supper, an. interesting. ball game was played with the visitors from Northminster Church losing out to the Harmony Intermediates by a score of 9-0. While we are unable at time. of writing to give you an exact fig- ure of what money was made, as all accounts are not yet in, we can safely tell you. that Slightly over $50 was cleared, and will posited with the Harmony Welfare be de- Association, and used for recreation. to to thank tions of food, vegetables, trucks, and who in any way helped to make the affair a success. The first all-day quilting on the will .be held at A benefit ball game for Doug. "Crabby" Crandall, who sustained a broken finger in a recent game, is in the offing, and may be ar- ranged for the latter part of Aug- ust, if plans of Manager Roy Todg- ham mature, This player is deserv- ing of your support, as indeed are all of the members of the Harmony Intermediate team who have given the fans a chance to see a really fine brand of softball played. Although your cor- J respondent is no ball fan, we have it on good authority that no finer type of game is played anywhere and there has been rather a dis- appointing lack of home supporters at these.games which is a pity. "B". men's softball Much credit goes to Manager Roy Todgham, who has wholeheartedly thrown himself into his job, couraging and holding together the team. We are very sorry indeed that they suffered defeat, and hope that the story next year will have a better ending. Below follows a resume of the season's activities by Roy Todgham, manager of our ball team: en- "The Harmony Intermediate "B" men's softball team ended the sea- son on- Friday night, July 23, at Thornton's Corners softball mond, when North Oshawa took dia- the game 10 to 5, thus giving them the right to play Westmount for the final and the 'winner right' to enter the O.A.S.A. playdowns. "Our team has worked hard all season, but due to the injuries of two of the star players, namely Doug 'Crabby' Crandell, the catch- er and captain, and Doug. McCabe, the star first baseman. This left the team very short handed, but every player deserves credit for the part he played. Also Frank Kehoe and Fred Parsons who made the home plate and worked hard to keep the | team together. "Special mention must be given to Merle Mackie, who so generously donated the players' sweaters and to the games away from home. Also to Mr. Korry, Howard Hoskin and Ken Whattam for their help in prepar- ing the ball diamond and the splen- did co-operation which they have given the team. "We would like to remind the good people to get out and support the girls' softball team who are still in there playing, having not lost a game yet. "These girls are really worthy of the support of the community. So get out there and give them a big hand." Personals Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Ferguson, Brantford, who spent the week-end here with her parents, Mr. and C. E. Nichols, have accom- panied them on a motor trip to Muskoka, where they will visit with Elinor, there for the season, and then go on to Glen Burney, in the Parry Sound district, where they will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Hopps.

We were sorry to hear that Doug. Terwillegar had injured his ankle while diving and that his foot will be in a cast from six to eight weeks. Tough luck, Doug, but it could be worse. A miscellaneous shower for Doreen Marsh, soon to become a bride, was held last 'week at the home of Mr, and Mrs, Alf: %Laven- der, Wilson Road North. We know mushrooms spring up overnight, but so do some houses-- or nearly. One house started here on Harmony Road South one morn- ing, had by night the rough frame- work completed.

Kurt Kahn broke with Hitler when he was only a party leader of a growing group of bully boys. He saw then, as few other people saw, that evil, accepted, must always grow. He came to Scotland |. and founded a new school. He fought this evil with his new and urgent aim to stir the contentedly unfit Jom the lethargy of just being con- tent. War, he believed, made its tre- mendous impact on. youth because in essence it represented a need; the need to assess their own re- serves of ndurance and daring and resourcefulness just as in a smaller way these were assessed on the play- ing field. There must be, he thought, something that would provide what the philosopher Willlam James had called "the moral equivalent of war." Kurt Hahn, Master of Gorden- stoun School in Morayshire, Scot- land, found it in what he described as the seven laws of education. Strangely enough none of these laws are more than distantly associated with learning, The qualities that he sensed as the essentials of education were these. That it should provide the opportunity for self-discovery; that it should be a training for both triumph for both triumph and de- feat; that it should open opportun- ity for self-effacement in a common cause; that it-should assure periodic silences for individuaj thought and self appraisal; that it should en- courage and direct the imagination; that it should encourage games for their qualities of character building without letting them predominate; that it should free the children of wealth and power fro mthe enerva- ting sense of privilege. Such is the moral and physical patter nthat a German schoolmaster has set to offset the philosophy with which Hitler attempted to debauch the young. Not a soft creed. He quotes the provocative thought of a Swiss theologian: "The. world needs men, and it would be sad if it were just the Christians who did not wish Indians Hold Big Pow Wow At Hamilton Hamilton, July 27 -- (CP) -- For the first time since the unveiling of the Joseph Brant monument at Brantford the warriors of the Six Nations barbecued an ox whole, in honor of their chief, Red Cloud, and his wife Princess Little Star, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last Sunday. Relatives and friends travelled from afar to celebrate with Chief Red Cloud, taking advantage of the right of Indians to cross the border between Canada and the United States without hindrance or form- ality. Visitors from Connecticut, Maine and Michigan were present. The celebration was held at the home of Frank Doxtator, on the Six Nations reserve, not far from Caledonia. Two teepees, decorated with geometrical designs, were set up before the house. Chiefs and warriors of the Six Nations wore full ceremonial costume -- huge feathered war bonnets, doeskin or cloth jackets and trousers, in many colors and complex designs, and beaded and thonged moccasins. Behind the house a barbecue pit had been prepared, and the fire had been lit on Saturday evening. It had been tended through {he night and the 203 pound dressed carcass, spitted on an iron bar hung from two heavy notched posts, had been placed to cook at shortly be- fore 5 am. Sunday morning. It hung over the scarcely smoking, carefully watched embers for 12 hours, basted from time to time with barbecue sauce, its outer sur- face browning and then blackening as it cooked through. But the black surface was scarce- ly an eighth of an inch deep. Un- derneath, when the huge carcass was carved, the meat was done to a turn. Meanwhile, in the house, the womenfolk had been preparing the rest of the meal. Churns full of fruit drinks, tubs of potato salad, dozens of loaves of cut bread, scores of pies, yard-square cakes loaded every inch of table space. And a fine, three-tiered iced cake made the centre-piece to a picture of plenty. The festivities following the bar- becue meal included movies, dance music and ceremonial speeches, and an Indian band provided the tra- ditional music of the tribes. They were organized by Chief Howard Skye, who wore a doeskin costume with many fringes and decorations that he had made himself. His skill as a leather-worker and an ex- ponent of Indian lore is well- known, RECAPTURE TWO GIRLS London, Ont., July 27--(CP)-- Two girls, both juveniles, who es- caped Monday from a school of correction at Cobourg, were appre- hended by provincial police before noon today as they walked along No. 2 Highway near here. Police sald they would be returned to Co- bourg. $150,000 FIRE Truro, N.S, July 27--(CP)--For | the fifth time since it was estab- lished in the 18th century, fire destroyed the Dominion Chair Company plant at nearby Bass River. Damage was estimated at $150,000. The last fire was in 1940 after which the plant, one of the few remaining rural industries in Nova Scotia, was rebuilt on a new site. NINE DEAD IN BLAST Rome, June 27-- (Reuters) --Nine persons were killed and three in- jured by an explosion of 60 tons of high explosive at Calbaro Monday. The explosion occurred in a shed at a military dump while the ex- plosive was being processed. P.C. Convention J. M. MACDONELL, K.C, M.P. President of the Dominion Progres- sive Conservative Association who has called a party convention in Ottawa on Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. The party will select a new lead- er to succeed John Bracken on the last day of the convention. The de- cision to call the convention was made by 25 members of the party executive. Ln Truman Urges (Continued from Page 1) ties which basically affect essential industrial production or the cost of living." That would seem to mean things like steel and meat. Even before he spoke, Republican leaders made clear that Truman could pin no real hope for action on more than one or two minor points in his message. Cites Howsing Truman hita hardest at the. ris- ing cost of living, but he led off by saying that another crying need is for more and cheaper housing. So he called again for passage of the Taft-Ellender-Wagner Bill to meet the "acute" housing short- age. said. "We need it now, not a year from now." In addition to selective price- wage controls and a return to the wartime excess profits tax at a rate he did not disclose, the President | asked Congress to: 1, Restore consumer credit con- trols, such as those which specified down payments and the time in which instalment purchases had to be paid off. 2. Arm the federal reserve board with more power to regulate "in- flationary bank credit." 3. Grant him power to regulate speculation on the commodity ex- changes. . 4. Grant him power to impose allocation and inventory control over "scarce ccmmodities which basically affect essential produc- tion or the cost of living," the same term he used for his' price-control proposal. 5. Strengthen controls over rent with adequate appropriations for enforcement to prevent "further unwarranted rent increases." 6. Give him tsand-by power to ration "those few products in short supply which vitally affect the health and welfare." Unless fur- ther shortages occur, this authority "might not have to be used at all." He asked authority to limit wage increases only where .they would "force a break in a price ceiling." Even in this instance an exception would be made if the increases were "essential to remedy hardship, to correct inequities or to prevent an actual lowering of living stand- ards." Boosted Prices Contending that industry has boosted prices in many recent cases where profits margins were "adequate" to absorb the increased labor costs, Truman added: "Rising wages and rising stand- ards of living, based on increasing of income is the American way. Non-inflationary wage increases productivity and a fair distribution can and should continue to be made by free collective bargaining." As for his entire eight-point cost- of-living program, Truman called it a "balanced" way to attack high prices. All eight points were "nec- essary to check rising prices and safeguard our economy against the danger of depression." Aside from his reference to Com- munists here and abroad counting on an American depression, Tru- man made no direct reference to the strained relations with Russia. He devoted only a single para- graph in his 3,000-word address to "urge upon Congress" the contro- versial e¢ivil rights program he sent to Capitol Hill last February. He did not specify priority for any of the proposals, but a "score card" made public at the White House Monday placed emphasis on anti-poll tax and anti-lynching bills on which hearings already have been held. Truman signed ex- ecutive. orders late Monday estab- lishing a fair employment practice policy for federal employees and calling for an end to racial discrim- inations in the armed services. Lists Eight Points As he had sald he would, Tru- man also asked the special session for: 1. A new displaced persons bill to provide for the admission of some 400,000 of Europe's war refugees into the United States during the next four years, instead of 202,000 in two years as provided in a bill passed at the last session. He asked that Congress wipe out "discrimi- nations" in the current law, as it would operate unfairly against Jewish and Catholic displaced per- sons. 2. A federal-aid-to education bill to provide $300,000,000 annually to states for education. 3.
