Palestine (Continued from Page 1) and Jews to accept a new cease- fire effective last Friday morning. But the bitterest fighting since the second Palestine truce began raged throughout last Friday night. Count Bernadotte"s aides said council action could take the form of warnings or sanctions against the side found to be violating the truce ordered in a July 15 council resolution. "Under prevailing conditions it is difficult to assess-responsibility and idle to try to ascertain which of the parties is more to blame," Count Bernado#te said, adding: "They both have come deliberate- ly to ignore the authority of the United Nations." Mr. In Palestine, it was learned Wed- nesday the Chief of Staff of the UN. Truce Commission, Gen. A.

Albertans Favor Private Companies Edmonton. Aug. 19 -- (CP) -- Al- bertans were on record today as favoring distribution of electricity by private gompanies. Early returns from rural polls had shown a majority - for public ownership but when city counts on Tuesday's plebiscite began arriving, the total swung sharply in favor of private corporation control. The latest province-wide total showed that in 2.280 of 2,760 polls the count was 109,330 favoring pri- vate enterprise compared with 102,094 for socialization. Calgary, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat were strongly on the side of development by private companies. In Edmonton where a power plant is operated as a ciyic utility the vote was closer--22,351 for private; 21,478 for public. Grant Permit (Continued from Page 1) procedure would be for its mem- bers to lay a charge against the so- ciety and have a magistrate decide the issue, Mr. Humpheys said. When Dr. H. B. James, chairman of the Board of Health, was asked if he knew that the society was going ahead with the application, he said he knew nothing of the matter and as far as he knew the | board's attitude toward the horse barn was the same as before. He | denied that his board had with- drawn its objection and was willing to let the society operate the barn without an impervious floor for the period of a year. In dny event, he said, nothing could be done by the Board on the mater until the next | | board meeting. The turbulent history of the horse barn goes back to March when Society representatives appeared be- fore the Oshawa Park Commission to get approval for its erection in Alexandra Park. This approval was granted and the approval of the Town Planning Board was also re- ceived. The Society then ap- proached City Council for a $10,000 grant toward the $20,000 structure. Council approved the grant provid- ing the Society installed temporary dressing rooms and showers for teams using the park. The city agreed to turn over $5,000 of the grant this year and $5,000 on com- pletion of the barn. It is expected that council will approve of the payment of $5,000 at its meeting on Monday and will withhold the balance until the matter is finally settled. Plans Changed The Society then made applica- tion for a building permit but it was referred back by the City Engineer who did not approve of the roof plans. The plans were changed to conform to civic speci- fications and work proceeded despite the fact that the Society failed to procure a building permit, princi- demanded that the barn floor be covered with an impervious ma- terial. Construction was started on May 24 and the barn was completed ex- cept for the hanging of doors and facing up of four stalls when the police stepped in on July 31 and stopped work. Officials of the agricultural so- ciety claim that an impervious floor would be harmful to horses. All modern barns have dirt floors, they contended and pointed to reports of horses being injured by slipping on concerete floors. The Board of Health, however, has insisted, with the support of the Ontario Depart- ment of Health, that an impervious floor be put in before its approval is given. Sports circles also objected to the barn on the grounds that the dressing rooms, which the Society jnstalled, were inadequate in the matter of size.

"Water ski poles" assist New Zealand Boosts Value 'By The Canadian Press New Zealand today revalued her currency up to parity with Britain's sterling and China was expected to announce today a new money plan pegged to the United States dollar. The boost in the New Zealand pound from 16 to 20 English shillings ($3.20 to $4) is the first upward re- valuation of any currency since Can- ada's and Sweden's jumps in the summer of 1946. The New Zealand boosts is 25 per cent compared to the Canadian and Swedish rises of 11 and 17 per cent, respectively. ; London experts said the only im- mediate effect of New Zealand's surprise move is likely to be a dis- inflationary impact on New Zea-~ land's interna] prices in her own currency. It was also predicted that New Zealand's dearer money might, in a competitive international market in dairy products, handicap her export prices and benefit her competitors in the British market--notably Can- ada and Denmark, This would de- pend on how New Zealand's produc- tion costs conform to currency changes. Finance Minister Walter Nash of New Zealand said in his budget speech the move was to correct a disequilibrium between prices in New Zealand and those In other coun- tries, particularly in the dollar area. London Stock Exchange at first jumped to the conclusion Australia would act similarly to her neighbor Dominion, But Prime Minister Chiefley of Australia stated the value of the Australian pound would not de changed. In Nanking, one informant said the New Chinese currency would be called "Sun" currency. The rate of exchange would be four Chinese suns to one United States dollar, The present inflated Chinese cur- rency would be exchanged at the rate of 3,000,000 Chinese dollars for one sun, This would bring the new curren- cy in line with the current black market rate of 12,000,000 Chinese gollars to each United States Dol- ars. Of Pound to British Parity Drobny, Czech Net Ace Hopes To Bump Aussies Broekline, Mass., Aug. 19--(AP)-- Confident that its ace, Jaraslov Drobny, would be able to make his smashing southpaw service produce its customary baffling backspins, the Czechospovakian Davis Cup tennis team today had high hopes of squeezing past the favored Austral- jan forces in the interzone {finals here. The Czechs, favored by the draw for today's opening singles matches, expect to get off to a flying start. Drobny has been paired with Billy Sidwell, a new member of the Aus- tralian team, and Vladimir Cernik drew Adrian Quist, the Australian captain, During - Wednesday's - drawing, Quist gave the Czechs further en- couragement by admitting .that the tisted ankle of Colin Long, his dou bles partner, was responding to treatment so slowly that he would not name Australia's pair for to- morrow's doubles match before the 24-hour deadline. If the experienced Long is un- available, Quist can call upon either Sidwell, who has yet to be sub- jected to Davis Cup pressure, or Geoff Brown, . The Czechs figure Drobny and Cernik can top any new Australian combine for a second victory, Then, provided Drobny can defeat Quist in one of the Saturday signals matches, they will move into the challenge round against the cup-defending United States team at Forest Hills, N.Y. On his European form, Drobny rates above Quist and Sidwell as a singles player. But since he arrived in the United States he has not been able to control his strokes on grass as accurately as he usually does on European clay courts. Lake Orion, Mich., Aug. 19--(AP) --Dick Wells, a commercial alr- lines pilot who discovered a quick way to get delivery of a new car, claimed today he saved $567 by buy- ing through a dealer in London-- 4,000 miles away. He placed his order for a new Studebaker about a year ago in the United States. While in: London,. he saw the same model he had ordered on dis- play in a dealer's window. Its price was the equivalent of $1820, the dealer sald. Wells recalled the car he had ordered at home had a price tag of $2,387. The dealer said Wells could have Gets Quicker U.S. Delivery By Buying Auto in Britain immediate delivery, and suggested, when the pilot asked about ship- ping arrangements, that he place the order in London and pick up the car at South Bend. The American did so, and receiv- ed the car at the London dealer's price, he asserted. However, Studebaker officials in- sisted the list price on Wells' model was $1,861, in the United States and abroad. What the pilot must have paid, they added, was that amount with ae foreign dealer's handling charge of $14 tacked on. The $2,387 figure, they suggested, might have been the cost of a high- er-priced Studebaker model in the United States. Mother Abandons Round-the-World Flight Attempt Marseille, Aug. 19--- (Reuters) -- Mrs. Richarda Morrow-Tait of Cambridge, England, 24-year-old flying mother, today abandoned her round-the-world flight attempt. She left Cambridge Wednesday in her light Proctor "aircraft, but her plane was damaged in landing Wed- nesday night. She may return to England to try again. Mrs. Morrow-Tait said she hit a small ditch Wednesday owing to bad visibility. The . propellor was twisted, a wing damaged, and the undercarriage also suffered. "It will be at least eight days before my plane is ready," she said. "Our plan for a round-the-world flight in 200 hours is no longer realizable. I think I will probably go back to London and start again." Mrs. Morrow-Tait is accompanied by 25-year-old Mjchael Townsend, her navigator. | They left Cambridge Wednesday in her plane, called "Thursday's Child," on the first lap of what was to have .been a 25,000-mile flight. She was laden with lucky charms. Her husband, a former R.AF. navigator, and her 18-month-old daughter, saw her off. Court Provides Opportunity For Restitution John P. Morrow, alias P, Mara of Toronto, pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining money under false pretences, when he appeared in court this morning, before Magis- trate Russell P. Locke, K.C. The magistrate ruled that the case be adjourned until tomorrow and granted the accused time to tele- phone his relatives in Toronto. Morrow was charged following a complaint laid by Jessie Pearson, 60° McLaughlin Boulevard, that she had cashed two worthless cheques totalling $70, for the accused, on the 13th and 22nd of December, 1947. Miss Pearson testified that the accused at that time had been a patient at Oshawa General Hos- pital, where she was employed as a nurses' aid. She told the court that she had cashed several cheques for patients who were not able to leave the hospital. Asked to take the stand, Morrow, hardly able to walk, was allowed to sit down while he gave his testi- mony. Speaking in a barely audi- ble voice, with his head bowed most of the time, Morrow told the court that he had received war injuries in the navy and had spent most of the time in hospitals. In addi- tion to the shrapnel he carried in his left knee and leg, Morrow said he was suffering from an acute case of intestinal cancer. Morrow, further said that he wanted to pay back the money but that he had not been able to work because of his condition. Asked by the Magistrate if he had any rela- tives, Morrow said that his family is living in Toronto. "Does your family know that you are here in court this morn- ing?" asked Magistrate Locke, "No, your Honor, they don't," he replied. "Do you think you could borrow $70 from them if they knew the position you were in now?" queried the Magistrate. "I think they might," Morrow re- plied. "In that case," said the Magis- trate, "we will give you every op- portunity to contact your family. I have every sympathy for you in this matter, but, at the same time, restitution must be made to this woman," he concluded. Canadian Exports Rising for Japan Ottawa, Aug. 19--(CP)--Cana- dian trade with Japan is recover- ing slowly from the disastrous ef- fects of the second world war. Although still far below pre-war levels, the improvement is steady, Bureau of Statistics figures show. Canadian exports to Japan in the first six months of 1948 amounted to $2,279,000, compared with $415,- 000 in the same period last year and $28,200,000 for all of 1939. Big items in exports to Japan last year included $350,000 worth of fertilizer and $80,000 worth of whiskey. Storie Park Event Reviewed at Meeting -- The Storie Park Neighborhood Association held a committee meet- ing at 7.30 p.m: last night in Storie Park, Reviewing the successful "Screwball nite," held last week, members learned that $53 had been made. The money will be divided between the three girls' baseball teams and the boys' pee-wee team. It was decided to hold another and bigger "Screwball nite", next year.

"The Wop" -- his name was Ben Gallasio -- was dead when police got to him. He had been hit by three bullets and minutes later police arrested Antonio (Tony) Rennie, 35, an- other newspaper vendor. Benny, a toughish, 40-year-old little guy who carried an ice-pick to enforce his claims to his sales territory, was standing in front of the Palace Theatre, when he died. With him, witnesses said, was Tony. They clufched' their papers as the crowds Aypimed past and then, said cabbie Frank Pellicciotti, came three shots and Benny The Montreal Newsie Slain In Feud Over Territory One shot struck Pellicciotti's taxi as the assailant raced along the street. Policeman Ronald Salsberg, off duty and riding home on a street car, heard the shots, halted the tram and grabbed Rennie who sur- rendered without resistance. He gave up a revolver as he was taken to police headquarters to be held as a material witness. But he told police Benny The Wop had threatened him with an ice pick and Benny's chums, on questioning, said they knew Benny carried such a weapon at times. Motive for the slaying was not immediately clear. But it seemed a dispute over selling territory lay back of it. Summer holidays have made some changes in sales terri- tory among the downtown news- boys. And there have been reports of "invaders" moving into preferred "Wop slumped dead to the street. corners. Dewey Calls Albany, N. Y., Aug. 190--(AP)-- Governor Thomas Dewey said to- day he has urged the Federal Power Commission to "process with- out delay" the state's application for approval of a joint New York- Onatrio power project on the St. Lawrence River. Dewey told the commission, in a letter released by his office, that the need for power was "urgent and vital to the economic development of the region affected by the St. Lawrence, as well as of utmost sig- nificance to the national defence." The application should "be pro- cessed without delay and only with the reservation that nothing be done that will hamper the fullest development of the seaway." The Federal Commission, Dewey said, had asked for his "comment and suggestions" on the proposed 2,200,000-horsepower plant to be lo- cated in the river's International Rapids section near Massena. The Commission, in a letter to the Governor, said the State Power Authority's application had been forwarded to the international joint ! commission which must approve | water projects affecting Canada and the United States. It has been estimated the power development would cost $390,000,000 to $428,000,000. New York State and the Province of Ontario would share the cost. The plans were filed July 16. Dewey, in his letter to Leon M. Fuquay, Federal Commission Sec- | retary, said that "for 10 years, I| for Action On Seaway Power Plan have urged publicly and privately the development of the St. Law- rence River, both for purposes of power and for purposes of naviga- tion, These are still my views." Development of the power "should not be delayed by the is- sues raised on the other phases of the project. The need for hydro- electric power has ceased to be an academic one of the future." The governor said he had been advised that the United States Army Corps of Engineers had found "that the project works as laid out are compatible with and readily adaptable to further improvement of the St. Lawrence River for navi- gational purposes." Last April 30, Dewey directed the State Power Authority to open negotiations with Canada for joint construction of the huge power plant, His action followed defeat in the United States Senate of the St. Lawrence Seaway and power proj- ect. Development of the St. Lawrence project long has been a hot politi= cal issue, The State Assembly has adopted resolutions gn times opposing the project. The State Senate, how= ever, has not gone on record. The seaway phase of the two- point program---navigation and power--has been opposed strongly by groups in port cities such as Albany, Buffalo and New York. Some of the seaway's toughest op- ponents, however, have supported power aspects of the project. Are We Happier? The Bishop of Chelmsford, Dr. Henry Wilson, doubts if people to- day are any happier than those of 50 years ago. He says: "It used to be said 50 years ago that the greatest enemy to human happiness was poverty, and if this could be prevented a new age of happiness would be ushered in. "Relatively speaking no one is poor today.~ Poverty has been kill- ed. Minimum wages are guaran- teed. Hours of labor are reduced and fixed. Is it only the jaundiced cynic who would say that there is more unrest, unhappiness, anxiety, fear and general distrust in the nation now than 50 years ago?" Worth Knowing Smart idea, the new plastic zip- per covers for mattresses, pillow and blankets. They're dustproof, but most in their favor, to my way of thinking, is that they are supposed to help allergy sufferers--that is if the sufferer is allergic to anything used in the make-up of said, mat- tresses etc. Clever girls are making covers for their bicycle baskets and their mamas' are making them for their bundle buggies, and here's how it's done, Cut plastic material in the general shape of a refrigerator bowl cover and gather in on strong elas- tic--what won't we think of next!
