McDonald was charged with vagrancy one week ago yesterday, when he entered the police stationj around 8:30 p.m. and asked for a night's lodging. : Appearing last Monday before Magistrate Ebbs, he was placed in custody until today, while his record was obtained from authorities. In- spector Wilbur Dawn said McDonald had been watched during the day as he stopped people on the street and begged for money, "Would I have come into the police station and asked for a night's lodging if I had guilty con- "science?" queried the almost des- perite man. "Look," he went on in a pleading tone, "I just was released from the penitentiary on the 23rd and on the 24th I came to Oshawa around noon. That night when I ask for a hight's lodging I'm lock- ed up." | The berich heard a report read on previous convictions of the ac- cused ancl refused to give the man a suspenled sentence.

Last Minute (Continued from page 1) other services by the strike, In calling off their strike against the Bell Telephone system's manu- facturing and supply unit, the Western Electric Company, the CW.A's division 6 decided to re- turn to contract talks along with 23 other union divisions. The negotia- tions are with the Bell system's parent corporation, American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, and subsidiaries. One condition of the back-to- work agreement was reinstatement of 104 workers at South Bend, Ind. who had become an issue in the strike call. They had struck in spup- port of six men in the "muddy field" incident. The six men had| refused to walk across a muddy | field to their jobs on a television tower and were threatened with dismissal. The 104 South Bend workers then left their jobs and two days later, with the case taking an important place in negotiations, the strike. was called. \ The 230 teletype operators', and 35 equipment maintenance meh in 35 United States bureaux of \ the United Press struck for a wage in- crease of $6.50 a week after First asking a boost of $15 a week. e company offered $2.20, Officials of the news service Yold be continued with emplgyees from of departments its newspaper and 'radio cliemts /| that' transmission of news on) over the § work' of the 5 Claim Illiterate Cabbie Received Driver's Licence Toronto, May 1--(CP)--Hint of a "serious loophole" in issu- ance of drivers' licences in On- tario was made today by an of- ficial of the Ontario Insurance Agents' Association. Ivor 8. Brake, manager and secretary treasurer, informed Highway Minister Doucett that an illiterate cab-driver in Kit- chener had been given a li- cence, Mr. Brake said the driver, whose name was not disclosed, could neither read nor write and could rot recognize the words on highway signs, Deputy Minister J. D. Millar said there was no reading or writing test in examinations for licences. Tests are verbal he said. Mr. Brake said the Kitchener driver's illiteracy came when he applied, for insurance. He couldn't sign his own name, "He held a driver's licence which appeared to be signed and was in perfect order," he said. Canada's Surplus (Continued from page 1) last September's World wave of cur- rency devaluations. Assets of the government financial agency climb- ed $46,000,000 after a deficit of $28,- 800,000 accruing from 1946 devalu- ations had been written off. 2. The United Kingdom last year made repayments of $5,200,000 on the $700,000,000 interest free 1942 loan. This compared with repay- ments of $64,000,000 in 1948 and left $299,000,000 on the loan still out- standing at the end of the year. 3. Fresh inflows of dollars for in- vestment in Canadian development --particularly -petroleum--amounted to $88,000,000 in 1949 compared with $71,000,000 in 1948 and $48,000,000 in 1947, Bulk of the inflow of dollars took the form of Canadian dollars acquired in the unofficial market. 4. Devaluation of sterling cur- rencies last September was of ad- vantage to Canada, since it increas- ed the ability of these countries to earn more dollars and thereby to buy more from Canada. However, if devaluation was to achieve its purpose of getting a better balance of world trade, "there must be | greater competition in the North | American market from overseas suppliers." Amplifying this latter point, Mr. Towers said this trade could not be increased unless those countries depreciating their currencies cut down their own consumption of goods and increased the flow to dollar countries. It was essential that inflationary tendencies be curbed in these coun- tries, or there would be temptation to divert supplies intended for dol- lar countries into high-priced ster- ling markets. Turning attention on' Canada's own trade troubles, Mr. Tower's noted that although Canada's ex- port to the United States in 1949 were at the highest value in his- tory, the volume was slightly smaller than in 1948. If revision of U.S. import poli- cies, including changes in customs procedures, would lend encourage- ment to winning a bigger U.S. mar- ket for Canadian manufactured goods, it would be of great value tc Canada's balance of payment ac- count, Mr. Towers said, In imports, Canada was buying less oil from the United States, principally because her own sup- plies had grown. Otherwise, the volume of imports tended to be higher than in 1948. American investors in Canadian enterprize drew $285,000,000. in in- terest and dividends last year com- pared with $230,000,000 in 1948, an increase of $55,000,000, This increase, said Mr, Towers, vas due principally to larger trans- fer of profits by Canadian subsi- diaries and branches of U.S. com- panies. , . Mr, Towers emphasized that un- til devaluation achieves its purpose, Canadian exporters will find diffi- culty in regaining traditional mar- kets overseas, particularly markets for manufactured goods. "In these circumstances, the For- eign Exchange Control Board is anxious to ensure that exporters' difficulties are. not increased by Canadian exchange control require- ments," he said. The board was prepared to con- sider "sympathetically" applications for permission to sell goods on terms other than those prescribed by the exchange regulations, The cases the board is prepared to consider: Cases where payment is to be deferred beyond the nor- mal six-month period, where the exporter is prepared to accept and hold "blocked" foreign currencies, where a non-sterling area import- er offers sterling and the U. K. is prepared to authorize transfer of sterling to Canadian account and where the exporter is prepared to accept payment in goods of equi- valent value, that is, barter, Radio Gang (Continued from page 1) car was parked in the garage, which was unlocked, but. they didn't go near his car. In each instance the fast - moving thieves, forced the air vent by the driver's seat, to gain en- trance to the vehicles. "They broke the little handle on Jack's car window," stated Mrs. Perry. "My car was parked in the driveway all night, but I didn't hear any noise," said Mrs. W. H, James, 58 Aberdeen Street. "When I came out at 6:30 this morning the car radio was missing." Mrs. James owns a 1948 mogel car, Other vehicles from which radios were stolen early this morning were owned by H. M. Collis, 633 Masson Street, D. W. Lindsay, 593 Masson Street, and Frank E. Turney, 540 Mary Street. All three cars were house or on the street in front of the house. It is believed the thieves had a ight truck with which to load the tolen radios and make their escape, parked on driveways beside the |] Business The supersonic and atomic age has caught up with the 189-year-old Bentley and Flemming Limited. The Halifax firm, only one in Nova Scotia which makes spars for sail- ing ships, is up for sale. Thomas Bentley opened his spar- making establishment on Lower Water Street, fringing Halifax har- bor, in 1761. It flourished until 50 years ago, when steam made heavy inroads on the high seas and sails disappeared over the horizon. Before the founder died he took another spar maker, John Flem- ming, into partnership with him. Now his grandson, A. P. Flemming, 6, reports spars are not in demand and he wants to sell out. No buy- ers have turned up as yet. The proprietor says 50 years ago when he entered the business 14 men were employed in the yards, cutting the pine with broad axes. They received $7 a week, with fore- nen getting a dollar extra. When the market for four-sec- tion masts began to disappear the company branched out and produc- ed oars, paddles and other wooden ships' supplies. The spar-making company ex- perienced a temporary boom dur- ing the First' World War, when wooden ships were in demand, and again in the Second World War the company was kept busy making wooden equipment for ships. Nova Scotia is preparing to give the tourists improved service and more for his money this season. Industry Minister Harold Connolly expects, visitors to spend more than the $25,000,000 they left behind in the province last year. But he has warned that though more tourists than ever came to the seaside prov- ince, individually they spent less than in 1948. As a matter of fact, the province's information bureau estimates that in 1947 the tourist spent $10 a day. In 1948 the daily average dropped to $8, while last year the per cap- ita take was only $6.56, emi-- TORONTO STOCKS Toronto, May 1 .

Holds Communion Breakfast Father A. Pape, OSA, Vicar Provincial of the Augustinian Province, an order which operates retreat houses in the United States and Canada where Catholics go for periods of contemplation and spirit- ual refreshment, was the guest speaker at a Communion Break- fast held in St. Gregory's Parish Hall on Sunday motning by the local council of the Knights of Col- umbus. The large group of Knights present heard Father Pape tell the proper method of making a good retreat. The speaker was introduced by Robert Ireland and thanked, follow- ing his address, by J. Judge. Prior to the breakfast a large body of the Knights attended nine o'clock 'mass at St. Gregory's Church and received communion in a body, Father Pape celebrated mass and a sermon was delivered by Father McKinnon on the sub- ject "The Family Rosary Crusade". Air Display (Continued from page 1) has. been traditionally celebrated throughout Europe. But in the United States and Canada, Labor Day is designated as the first Monday in September. And this year in the U.S. May 1 was observed generally at the time for anti-Communist demonstra- tions. Mosinee, Wis., had the most ela- borate show, with the American Legion staging a mock "Communist insurrection" in which they rounded up city officials just before dawn and took over newspapers, banks, stores and other public activities for one day. Wisconsin Commun- ists distributed copies of The Daily Worker, Sunday, scoffing at the idea. In Canada, everything was quiet as leftist organizations observed the occasion with parades and meetings in most of the larger cities. Police kept close watch at rallies in Montreal and Toronto. At Montreal one man was arrest- ed for carrying a banker--a papier- mache torch--in a May Day "mem- orial"' service in Dominion Square sponeored by the Youth Assembly for Peace. At Toronto, 600 persons attended a May Day rally sponsored by the Labor-Precgressive party. Police watched as the party's two Ontario members of the Ontario Legislature, J. B. Salsberg and A. A. MacLeod addressed the outdocr meeting. Avert Riot (Continued from page 1) throwing stones at east-sector pol- ice, Allied reporters said the East= Berlin police showed restraint, merely dodging the stones without even drawing their clubs. After the incident, West-Berlin demonstrators seized two east sec- tor civilians and beat them severely, one of the victims was a photo- grapher. West-Berlin police re- serves, answering a riot alarm, dis- persed the unruly elements.

Red River (Continued from page 1) the Red's rise was almost stopped as the flood crest moved slowly but relentlessly northward toward Lake Winnipeg, Today Morris took the main brunt of tte river's fury. A built up roadway collapsed without warning Sunday. A wall of water 2% feet high poured down Mor= Iis's main street--highway 75 from Winnipeg to the border. Reports to Winnipeg over jammed telephone and telegraph lines said 15 inches of water swirled into the hospital. The town and the RCMP. both called for army help to build a higher sandbag wall. Civilian workers were exhausted after hours of ceaseless work. Twelve patients -- including two mothers and their three-and-foure day-old babies ahd four expectant mothers--were in the hospital. Some of the patients were seriously . Some had been moved in only 8 few days ago from another hose now inundated. Hundreds of sandbags and 200 gallons of drinking water were also trucked southward, Hospital authorities sald the building might have to be evacu- ated unless the army men could strengthen the sandbag wall, The CPR. line to Grand Forks, N.D., and Southwest Manitoba 'was washed out on the Morris outskirts, Trains had to be diverted.
