Berlin Dispute (Continued from Page 1) decided to refer the matter to the military governors, who have been dealing with the situation first hand. Germany now has two currencies, the Deutsche mark sponsored by the western powers and the .east mark, sponsored by the Russians. Some points described in Moscow as technical difficulties involve fun- damental principles upon which the negotiators at the Kremlin weré not sufficiently familiar to make con- cessions, it is believed. It is not expected that any of the present talks will mean either resumption of four-power rule or healing of the split right away. The Military Governors will * use the present control council machinery for calling a meeting to settle the immediate problems which have confronted the Moscow conferences. It was not. expected to go beyond this. Meanwhile, the Russians con- tinued to needle Berlin's anti-Com- munist city government. The offi- cial Soviet news agency reported a meeting of Maj.-Gen. Alexander Kotikov, Soviet Berlin Command- ant, with a delegation described as "workers" who blasted "war-mon- gering" in Western Berlin and promised to keep up demonstra- tions against the city council. In addition, Taegliche Runds- chau, official organ of the Soviet Military Administration, renewed demands that the coal-rich Ruh: be placed under four-power. control. "The Ruhr industry is, not a matter for Bionia, but always has been of concern to all Germany," the paper said. It declared the Potsdam Agreement provided that the four powers jointly exercise authority on general German ques- ons. The Soviet news agency said the "workers" were received by Koti kov at the "urgent request" of the Communist-dominated "Free Trade Union Movement" of East Berlin, The delegation "learnd with in- dignation" of an appeal by the city council to create a "neutral zone" where the government could meet without repetition of last week's in- vasions, the agency 'said. It also suggested that only after "the city council "openly gives an account of its' two-years activities" should new city elections take place in Berlin, The Communists are campaigning for postponement of elections for a new city administration, tentatively schetuled for October, The Com- munists took a severe lacing two years ago and their political foes say they fear an even worse defeat this year. Marshall Vassily D. Sokolovsky, Soviet Commander in Germany, al- ready has cancelled fall elections in the Soviet zone of Germany. Riots broke out yesterday between Czechs and Germans living in the Moschendorf refugee camp near Hof. Officials said the trouble be- gan when the Czechs, who have fled their home country, and Sudeten Germans, who were expelled from Cechoslovakia, became embroiled in political arguments, German police who went to the scene reported many cases of knif- ing and beating. The British informant said the fact that the four military govern- ors are about to meet could be in- terpreted as indicating that the month-long east-west negotiations' in Moscow have resulted in a defin- ite agreement on broad principles for a Berlin currency pact. This, he said, will be on the basis of the Soviet one's east mark being accepted as Berlin's sgle currency, under clearly-defined four-power supervision, Frank Roberts, special British en- voy who has been representing Bri- tain in the mlin talks which be- gan July 31 bably will not re- turn to Londop while the Berlin discussions are [in progress, the in- formant said. He added that the Moscow negotiators have have de- cided against issuing an interim communique detailing the progress of their discussion thus far, If all goes well, however, the Ber- lin talks, which should aim pri- marily at setting up the agreed currency arrangement, should last about a week. GOOD WHEAT CROP Calgary.-- (CP) Making up for much of the thin, short stand of the 1947 wheat crop, this year's heads are filling extremely well, the Alberta Wheat Pool reports. Warm weather is needed everywhere to bring the crop to early maturity. TINKLING SHOES The long pointed shoes of the Middle Ages reached such fanciful proportions that at one time the points were fastened up" to the knees with tassels and bells, Skunk Allowed (Stay In Cellar Edward Shrigley, 23 Knights |Road, found an unwelcome visitor in his cellar when he went down to get a grapefruit. for breakfast yesterday. Siting cooly at the Jot- tom of the steps was a skunk per- haps a refugee from the excessive heat of the past few days. Mr. Skunk had apparently climbed in through an open window and he remained in possession of the cel- lar for the rest of thé day. "My husband told me to warn any of the neighborhood children, who often play in our yard, to keep away. I certainly haven't been in the cellar all day, and Inspector Lloyd Fowler of the Humane So- ciety was kind enough to go down and bring up some pears and peaches I wanted to preserve," said Mrs. Shrigley. Mrs. Shrigley asked Inspector Fowler not to shoot the skunk, due to the probable resultant aroma, and he then advised the family to insert a large plank through the cellar window. According to the inspector the animals will not show themselves during the daytime.

Tram Light Shields Said Menace to Life Toronto, Aug. 31--(CP) -- Pro- jecting metal light shields on the front of Toronto street cars are a menace td life, Toronto police said today.

Inspector Vernon Page, police safety expert, said if rubber or some pliable substance were used sor the shield the death rate would be cut. Police say they have report- ed this hazard ' to the Toronto Transportation Commission. Near Oshawa Charged with the assault of a peace officer on July 24,. Austin Bennett, 22, Oshawa, pleaded not guilty when he appeared before Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs in court today. Additional evidence will be heard tomorrow morning. Bennett is charged with assault- ing Oshawa Constable Dennis Sears in an altercation arising from a parking dispute with a bus driver. A. W. 8! Greer, K.C,, counsel for Bennett, asked that all witnesses be excluded from the court be- fore Sears took the witness stand. Then, questioned by Crown Attor- ney Alex Hall, Sears told the court that he had seen Bennett and Rob- ert John "Bud" Taylor on the night of July 24 when he had been pa- trolling Simcoe Street North. Bennett, Sears said, had stopped his car on the eastside of Simcoe Street . outside the Queen's Hotel, where he wished to park. A driver of an Oshawa Railway Company bus, pulling out from the curb, re- fused td go around the stationary car, and an argument developed. Sears said that he heard the argu- ment, and approached to find out the trouble. After questioning Bennett and the bus driver, Sears told the court that he asked the bus driver to move in order to clear traffic. Bennett then parked his car and Sears started to question him "to find out whether he was drunk or not,' as I smelled liquor and Ben- nett was speaking in a very thick voice." When Sears asked to see Bennett's Operator's Licence, Ben- nett, who by this, time had got out of his car, is said- to have asked "Why don't you go ahead and lay a charge?" Sears told the court that-he replied that there would be no charge laid, Mentions Charge Bennett then, according to Sears' testimony, showed the officer, and Sears told him-that a charge would be laid. When cross-examined by Mr. Greer, Sears said that he 'had intended at this point to lay a charge of disorderly conduct be- cause of 'swearing and cursing, and because he pushed me around." Mr. Greer also brought out in cross-examination that no charge of drunkenness had ever been laid, and Sears said that this was due to the fact that Bennett was not in any condition for an examina- tion for drunkenness to be made. Sears told the court that, despite the fact that Bennett had been "very arrogant and very insulting", te had not lost his temper or hit Bennett because of what he had said. After Bennett was informed that a charge was to be laid, Sears said that he attempted to take Bennett to the Police Station nearby. Ben- nett, he said, then hit him in the mouth causing it to bleed. "Only a week before," Sears said, "I had re- ceived a deep wound in my left arm in a battle with three men, and my arm was still bandaged, with three stitches in it. I was unable to use that arm to fight, so when Bennett continued to fight, and was urged to by 'Taylor, who had been riding in his car, I drew my billy and warned him twice that I would be forced to use it if he did not stop. "He continued to hit at tne, so I hit him on tae arm with my billy. This blow had no effect, so I aimed & blow at the side of his neck. He ducked, and received the blow on top of his head. I was grappling with him, and struck several times at the back of his neck and his read. At this time Taylor was trying tu circle around behind me while the battle was being fought, and was urging Bennett on, and-he stopped fighting. As'I was taking him across the street to the Police Station, he collapsed on the sidewalk on the west side of the street. I then went to the station and had Detective-Sergeant Alex Alexander and some bystanders help me to take him into . the station where an ambulance was called." Fell To Pavement In cross examination, Sears told Mr. Greer that Bennett fell to the pavement, and that no more blows were struck to make him fall. Sears also denied ever having said "you two are a fine pair" while talking to Bennett and Taylor. Both men said that Sears had uttered these words while they were still in the car. Sears also denied that, fol- lowing the incident in which his arm was wounded, he had said that he "would never let that happen again", Sears said that he did not remember ever making any remark to this effect. Asked why he did not go to the nearby Police Station for reinforce- ments, Sears said that he would have been unable to do so because of the assault of Bennett without turning tail and running away as fast as possible. A Detective. Sergeant Alex JAlesan, er told the court that he seen when he came into the sta- tion, and that "his face was cov- ered with blood and his mouth was bleeding." He also said that thi bandage on Sears' arm was cle rly visible, as Sears was wearin short-sleeved shirt and no jacket. He said that he had helped to the accused to the station, ard he had been unconscious all the time until shortly before the am- bulance arrived. Saw "Billy" Used John Lindsay, of 659 Hortop Ave. North Oshawa, testified that he had been walking up Simcoe Street when he saw the fight. He said that he saw Sears draw his billy and heard him warn Bennett that if he did not stop, the "blackjack" would be used. He said that he thought Bennett had "eased up" in his attack, until he had been urged on by Taylor who was swearing. Bennett, he said, then resumed his attack on Sears, and was srtuck by the billy "about five times". Lindsay said that the first, sec= ond, third and possibly the fourth blow did not have any visible ef- fect on Bennett, but that Bennett then "slowed down" and stopped | fighting. Bennett, a veteran of three years Charles Ward, T.T.C. public rela- in the Canadian Army in England, jLions director, said the steel brack- France, Germany, Holland and Bel- ets were on the street cars: to stay. gium, was examined by his counsel, 1 struck Bennett about four blows || Constable Tells of Battle Police Office Mr. Greer, He told the court that the car he had been driving was the property of his brother, Ray Bennett, well-known automobile dealer. With reference to Sears' remarks about his drunkenness and thick voice, Bennett said that he had had only two pints of beer that evening, and that these had been consumed at home with his dinner. He had picked Taylor up in Whitby and had driven from there to the place where the alleged assault had oc- curred, He told the court that after he had been "knocked out" by the of- ficer, he had been unconscious for almost 20 hours, until 6.00 p.m. the next day. He said that he had suffered a fractured skull, had been in the hospital for ten days, and in bed at his home for the same length of time, Bennett expressly denied that he had ever been struck on the arm by Sears before he had been struck on the head, and Taylor later sup- ported this evidence. "Every blow hit me smack on the head," he said. He told the court that he only remembered receiving the first two blows, and that after that he clung to the officer to keep from falling to the ground. He also said that he did not at any time shove or hit the officer before he. was struck with the billy. "He took my licence and started to copy "it," Bennett. said, "and I psked him if a charge was to be laid, if we could go over to the Po- lice Station. I did not want to have a policeman laying a charge against me right out in the street like that, with a lot of people watching. He told me no charge was to be laid. I started to.get out of the car, and he then grabbed me by the shirt collar and yanked me after him. I freed. myself, and asked again if a charge was to be laid, if we could g0 to the station. After I freed my- self from his grip, he said, "now there will be'a charge," and pulled out his billy and started to hit me with it. At no time did I receive any warning that he was about to use the billy. When cross-examined by Crown Attorney A. C. Hall, Bennett said that he had never met either the bus driver, Sears, or Lindsay pre- vious to the night of July 24. He did not answer when Mr. Hall com- mented that he had got into argu- ments with two people in a matter of a few minutes, yet had claimed to be in a good humor. Mr. Hall also drew attention to the fact that Bennett, in his evidence, was deny- ing the evidence of two other inde- pendent strangers, Sears, and Lind- say. Bennett said that he did not hear Taylor urge him to hit Sears, as Lindsay had testified. Taylor, placed on the stand, also said that he had never uttered any such words. ~ Taylor, 18, said that he had met Bennett in Whitby and had driven with him to Oshawa. He said that he had not had anything to drink on the day of the alleged offenses. He claimed as had Bennett, that the officer had made the comment that "you two are a fine pair," although Sears had denied this. He also testified that the H>fficer told him and Bennett that 'you can't tell me how to do my job" when Sears had started to copy Bennett's license. Bennett, accord- ing to Taylor, had not hit the offi- cer, but had only defended himself. He admitted that he had heard Sears say something equivalent to "cut it out," but said that the warning about the use of the billy had never been made. Taylor, who faces a charge of ob- structing a peace officer, will be tried tomorrow, and the evidence in Bennett's case is also expected to 'be finished then. World. - Wide TRAFFIC DEATHS DECLINE Chicago, Aug. 31 (AP).--Traffic deaths in the United States for the first seven months this year totalled 16,390, four per cent below the 17,073 for the similar period in 1947, the National Safety Council said today.

Peters" for his refusal to answer questions of a House of Representatives sub - committee Monday. The sub-committee of the Un- American Activities Committee rec- ommended contempt charges against Peters after he refused on constitutional grounds to answer questions. Earlier ex-Communist Whittaker Chambers had identified Peters as the No. 1 man in the Communist underground in the United States. Peters is the first to be threat- ened with contempt for refusing to answer questions in the house committee's spy hearings. A dozen or more witnesses, refusing to say whether or not they were Com- munists, have cited that section of the United States constitution which says a man cannot be forced to testify against himself. Conviction by a jury on a con- tempt charge could bring a jail sencence. Representative John Mc- Dowell (Rep. Pa.), chairman of the sub-committee, and Representative Richard Nixon (Rep. Calif.), the other member of the hearing, agreed that Peters should be cited for contempt. Chambers, who has talked freely to the committee, pointed out Peters at Monday's hearing as the man he was talking about in con- nection with the alleged spying in the government. The long-sought Peters 54 years old, a native of Czechoslo- vakia and now a resident of New York -- was handed a congressional subpoena as he appeared for =a deportation hearing early in the day. He has been charged with entering the United States without a visa. He was subpoenaed under the name of Peters, but identified him- self as Alexander Stevens. Although it was balked by Pet- ers, the sub-committee heard testi- mony yesterday by Chambers that he got a $6,000-a-year "boon- doggling" job with the government in 1937 through Communist influ- ence. Chambers said he was being paid as a Communist underground cour- ier at that time. The witness said he landed the job--in the research department of the Railroad Retirement Board -- "within 24 hours" after applying. Calling the job "boondoggling," Chambers said he was warned not to work too hard, "or the job would end." TWO LIQUOR CHARGES Two offenses under the Liquor Control Act were heard by Magis- trate Frank S. Ebbs in Magistrate's Court here this morning. Harold Doucett, Oshawa, pleaded not guilty to a charge of having liquor in a public place and was remanded un- til September 14 on $100 bail. Wil- liam Keynes, Oshawa, pleaded guil- ty to similar charges of having li- quor in a public place, and was fin- ed $10 or 10 days in jail, London--(CP)--A society in the west London district of Marylebone has been formed to preserve im- portant buildings and landmarks and to make a photographic record of all old parts of the district. London--(CP)--Tag days in Lon- don 1947 raised £357,295 ($1,429,180) or 28,994 pounds less than in 1946. Today's Short Story THE WIND By C. K. Priest TE wind began to blow early in the morning, gently at first, but with gradually increasing force until the old leaves on the trees that hedged the dignity of Blackmore Avenue were as ruf- fled as the nerves of Henry Cor- lan, who stared out at the whip- ping branches from the security of his home. He tapped a staccato tune on the pane while the wind played games with dust on the sidewalk | Within the hour he and | Lucille Morris would be leaving | for The Island. Their chartered | below. cabin cruiser, stocked for a week- end, waited at the anchorage. The carefully prepared telegram which demanded that he fly to a distant and imaginary confer- ence already had been casually called to the attention of his wife. Hewry turned from the win- dow and tiptoed into an adjoin- ! He looked down at | his sleeping wife with the cold | ing room. compassion that a man grows to hold for a woman, who shares his | bed and board but not his heart. His wife did not awaken. Henry i picked up his bag and left the | house, leaning forward into the | wind. been off-shore, blowing against the tide, and when it died down | the water quickly became smooth, | so that Henry and Lucille made the crossing to The Island with- | out incident. They dined late at the club there, dancing to the languishing music of a string or- chestra which was still playing | when they returned across the quiet water of thg cove to their boat. But now the wind returned. It began gently, sending small waves like messengers to lap at the white sides of the cruiser, and rocking it at the mecoring, enough, so Lucille said, to make her ill. Henry cared for her, and after she had fallen asleep went to the forward cabin for the night. By dawn, however, the wind was beating down over the hills to turn the cove into churning whitecaps. Henry arose and dressed carefully and went on deck, leaving Lucille still sleep- ing. There was no possibility of going ashore, nor was it safe to attempt a return crossing, the waves piled so high. Henry shrugged. The wind would die down eventually 'and time, in the circumstances, was not a consid- eration. But the wind did not die down. In late afternoon Henry noted a group on shore observing the cruiser .through binoculars, as if they were trying to read its name and number. Henry and Lucille stood up and waved cheer- fully. At dusk they went below and turned on the radio to hear the weather broadcast. The storm, it seemed, was worse than they had realized. Great damage had been done on the mainland. Trees and even buildings had been blown down. Then the newscaster mention- ed The Island, and listed the boats and their occupants that were marooned there by the storm. He mentioned Lucille and Henry with, so it seemed to them, a slight accentuation of names.

His wife met him at the door and he braced himself. She said, "You're late. made you late?" He was too surprised to ane swer immediately, and while he was striving to collect his What This spills everything, thoughts, she continued, "I have been practically isolated here, Half of a tree crashed down be- side the house, cutting off the electricity. The refrigerator, the lights, the radio and all the clocks were off for hours. The wind here was terrible." "Yes," Henry agreed, "it was the wind that .made me late."
