Craft Admits Firing Shots Kingsfon, Oct. 20 -- (CP) --Aus- tin Craft, 47-year-old Kingston Penitentiary convict, on trial for murder in the April 26 prison- break shooting of penitentiary mes- senger John D, Kennedy, today ad- mitted he fired two revolver shots at the time of his escape but "did not aim at anyone." Craft, who throughout the four- day trial, has conducted his own defence, today testified in his own defence, Also charged with the prison mesenger's slaying is Howard Ur- quhart, 21, of Toronto. His trial will follow Craft's. Today Craft told the court: "When I was at the main gate, just before we drove the (Ken- nedy's) car out, I fired two shots but didn't aim at anyone. In that narrow space the bullets should have nit the wall, but I did not hear them strike." He sald that when he and Ur- quhart were a few blocks away he put the gun between his legs and fired a shot into the floor boards. Asked by Urquhart why he had done 80, he sald he was testing the gun to see if anyone had taken the powder out of the cartridges. "The bullet tore a hole in the floor." the reading of evidenee he had given at his preliminary hearing "because it sounds so foolish. It embarrasses me to a great extent." He finally agreed that the evidence be read. From another angle though, ac- tion this past week doesn't look so | bad.

No Wage Boost For Trerton Men Trenton, N.S, Oct. 2§ -- (CP) -- The manager of Trenton Steel Works and Eastern Car Company said today wage demands ky em- ployees of the two companies could not be met if the company is to "preserve any real competitive status." The 1,200 enfployees of the two firms, members of United Steel Workers of America (C.I.0.-C.C.L.) have asked a 19%: cent an hour increase. Present basic rate is 74% cents an hour. General manager W. F. Knoll sald "the union's demand for a basic rate of 94 cents an hour at Trenton is . . . a demand which we cannot meet and, preserve any real competitive status." Meanwhile, preparations for a strike vote at the two plants, sub- sidiaries of the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation, continued. ACCEPTS SUGGESTION London, Oct. 29--(Reuters)--De- fence Minister A.

New Zealand Picks Touring Rugby Team Wellington, N.Z., (OCP)--The New Zealand Rugby Union has confirm- ed its decision not to include Maor- is in the team to tour South Africa next year owing to the color bar in that country. In spite of many protests--mostly from non-sports bodies--when the decision was announced, most foot- ballers recognized that the ruling was inevitable in the circumstances and any reversal of policy was never really in prospect. The 30 players chosen for the tour have been selected after several trial matches. It is unfortunate in view of the "color bar controversy that the weak- est links in the teams are at scrum- Half and centre-three quarter, posi- tions in which outstanding Maori players are available.

Words and Pictures Tell Bluenose Epic Halifax (CP)--The name Blue- nose stands for speed, grace and seaworthiness wherever Canadians saii. The famous schooner -- gone these two years to the bottom of the Caribbean -- lives on a coin, a stamp and in the lines of a new class of small yachts, but chiefly in a name, in the spirit it stands for. "Schooner Bluenose," with text by Andrew Merkel and pictures by Wallace MacAskill (Ryerson), puts the spirit between the covers of a book. * Merkel is a newspaperman who covered most of Bluenose's interna- tional races with the pride of the Gloucester fishing fleet. He takes her from the time she was nothing but an idea -- born of the need for something lustier than the smooth- sea America's Cup competition -- through her glorious years of the early "20s and her magnificent comeback in 1938, right down to the end. MacAskill, noted marine pho- tographer, has pictured the same history in a series of shots showing not only the glamorous inciderits of the schoonsi's victories over Elsie, Henry Ford, Columbia and Gertrude L. Thebaud, but workaday moments on the banks and at the fishwarves of Lunenburg. Craft earlier today objected to | State Medicine Suffers Abuse; Reforms Urged By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent Wellington, N.Z2: -- (CP) -- New| Zealand's system of State payment for medical services will be amend- ed if the recommendations of a Government committee are put into effect. The committee found that] flaws and abuses have become evi- dent in the operation of the scheme and that changes are necessary, The medical scheme, part of the! Government's social security struc-| ture, has attracted attention abroad | and medical authorities from many countries thhave come here to study | its operation. Many of the visiting | of the scheme, and the committee's recommendations aim to meet some of the criticisms. The basis of the scheme is that from a social security tax levied on all salary and income, the govern- ment pays doctors' bills, the cost of all medicines prescribed by doctors and the cost of hospital and ma- ternity treatment. Critics of the scheme say the over- all standard of medical service has fallen because it has paid doctors petter to rush as many patients through as possible at a" uniform in consulting rooms and. it is diffi- cult to get.doctors to visit patients at home; that doctors have tended to go straight into well-paid gen- eral practice instead of seeking higher qualifications and. experi- ence; and that there has been a| huge and unnecessary increase in| the consumption of "free" drugs and | medicines. The investigating committee was formed of representatives from the medical profession and the health department with an indépendent chairman, The committee recommended that in the future part of the cost of medicines be born by the patient, that the medical profession itself be made responsible for the ethical behavior of its members, and that a number of changes be made ny | the amounts and methods of pay- ment for medical services. | Committee members reported that | the medical scheme had encouraged | patients to resort to doctors for tri- vial complaints with a resultant pa- tient-pressurf-en the doctor which could be satiéfied by prescribing medicine toward the cost of which neither, the doctor nor patient had contributed, This financial irres- ponsibility had led to a large mea- sure of unnecessary over-prescrib- ing. . 5 was considered that part-pay- ment by the patient would be the most effective check on the present trend and doctors should also be asked to prescribe more economi- cally, Other recommendatiens i=zcluded changes in the scale of payments, including increased rates for at- tendances at home, and in the even- ings, at week-ends, or on holidays; and a uniform method of claiming payment under which all claims could be made direct to the health department by the doctor, At pres- ent several methods are optional. Chevrier Speaks Out On Greek Situation Paris, Oct. 29--(CP)--Transport Minister Lionel Chevrier today charged Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania with "an uneasy conscience" concerning Greece and with mak- ing a "strong and determined ef- fort" to maintain a tense inter- national situation there. Chevrier spoke in support of the resolution by the United Kingdom, United States, France and China to extend the life of the United Nations special commission on the Balkans. The committee is investigating charges of aid to Greek guerrillas by Yugoslavia, Bul- garia and Albania. The Canadian delegate addressed three questions {0 "Messrs. Bebler, Vishinsky and company": '(Alex Bebler of Yugoslavia and Andrei Vishinsky of Russia) "l. Why did Toland and the UBS.S.R. refuse to accept an invita- tion to appoint representatives on the committee on the Balkans? | "2. Why did the Balkan countries refuse to co-operate with the com- mittee? "3. And why did these countries refuse to open their frontiers to observation groups as recommended in a resolution of the General As- sembly Oct. 21, 19477" The Assembly created the body to help interested governments find a solution to the Greek problem, Chevrier said. But Greece was the only country which welcomed the committee in the spirit of the As- sembly recommendations by opening its frontiers and giving the neces- sary information. "It appears evident that this lack of co-operation from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania springs rather from an uneasy 'conscience than from a spirit imbudl with the principles inscribed in the preamble of the United Nstions charter," said the Canadian minister. experts have criticised some aspects | fee; that long waits are necessary | The uniform system would provide an easier check on the operations of doctors. The committee also proposed that specialist service be made wholly or substantially free and that lists be drawn up of those with sufficiently (igh qualifications for official re- cognition as specialists. At pre- sent, only general practitioner fees are paid under the scheme. The findings of the committee are not binding on the medical profes- | | sion or the government, but is like- | ly that a large part of the' recom- mendations will be put into effect after consultations between the parties, Canadian provinces maintain six residential schools where some 3500 pupils who are totally or partially . | blind learn Braille, take part in re-| gular school classes and learn trades --Quick Canadian Facts.

"If coupon rationing | ished tomorrow, there | be millions of families would still who would were abol- | be rationed by price, and the only way to increase that ration is to lower the price, which means lower- ing the cost." Manufacturers were prevented from bringl down prices by the high cost of materials, most of which came from abroad. Wilson hinted that there might be further modifications in the ra- tioning system, already eased con- siderably this year. But he said that some goods are still in short supply. : A year ago the public was being told that all garments were likely to be scarce for a long time to come and that their small allotment of coupons would have to be stretched even farther. By last May, however, stocks had accumulated to such a point that the number of coupons available to each consumer was.in- creased, and the coupon value of many goods was reduced. In August a further adjustment in ration values was made and the coupon allocation for six months beginning Sept. 1 was set at 24, Footwear was freed from the ration altogether. Men's suits required 20 coupons instead of 26, women's dresses seven instead of 11, and so on down the line. Merchants who anticipated a buying rush were surprised, on the whole, by the public's lack of in- terest. As a result s:h bodies as the Drapers' Chamber of Trade have | called for complete abolition of rationing. A report prepared by the Cham- ber and overwhelmingly approved at a meeting of its members said there was evidence the public now had far more coupons than it could use. Some speakers said that those who could not affori clothes were selling thelr coupons to the wealthy and "creating a black market that is a blot on our national life." Only a few reported higher sales since coupons were increased. One merchant claimed his business had increased 50 per cent, but his mo- tion that rationing be continued on a more generous scale was heav- ily. defeated. Meanwhile, there has been a steady rise in prices. The Board of Trade has approved increases in the cost of a wide range of items in- cluding hosiery, gloves, curtains, knitted cloth and household textiles. The articles like shéets amounts to sev- eral shillings. ome ' wool manufacturers con- tend the increases are not enough to meet their costs, and predict a decline in the quality of their goods.
