Last Chiang Asks Condemned As Instigator 0f South Korea Invasion By SPENCER MOOSA Taipei, Formosa, July 3 (AP)-- Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek to- night called on the United Nations to condemn Russia as the instigator of the war in Korea. Unless this is done, said the Chin- est Nationalist leader, Russia will mass troops of other puppet states in Asia to "sustain a prolonged war of attrition with the United Na- tions." Chinese Nationalists have ex- pressed keen disappointment at Washington's rejection of their of- fer to send troops into South Korea to battle the invading North Korean Communist forces. Chiang, speaking before a meet- ing of about 2,000 of his govern- ment's officials, hammered at the theme of Russian responsibility for the North Korean invasion of U.N.- sponsored South Korea. The Generalissimo also called on non-Communist nations to give Asia equal attention with Europe in their efforts to block Communist imperialism. "Only thus can democracies re- gain the confidence of Asiatic peoples, unite them and reach the ultimate goal in their anti-Com- munist war," Chiang said. The Russians, Chiang said, would stay behind their iron curtain and not openly dispatch a single soldier or fire a single shot. Chiang said the Russians may try to stir the peoples of Asia by spreading the idea that Western armies, brought in to defend vic- tims of Communist aggression, were not fighting international 'Com- munism but invading Asia, "yarious acts of aggression com- mitted by Soviet Russia through its puppets against the peoples of Asia have been overlooked or neglected in the past by the United Nations," the Nationalist leader said. "It was for this reason that the United Nations and democratic powers have practically lost the confidence of the peoples of all Asia." The Nationalist government, pre- paring to go to the aid of South Korea, was believed to have desig- nated three divisions of troops for the battle zone. But Washington turned thumbs down on the offer. April, Sean Murphy arrived in Ot- tawa as Ireland's first ambassador to Canada. MISSIONARY EVACUATED Toronto, July 3 (CP).--Rev. E. J. O.

Sees Development Canada's Nortir Areas Lake Couchiching, Ont., July 3 (CP) -- Canada's northland faces rapid development because of the depletion of natural resources in the United States, Dr. J. Redford Watson, chief of the Federal Geo- graphical Bureau, said last night. Addressing a conference of the Ontario Youth Council, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., Dr. Watson stress- ed the key defensive position of the Canadian Arctic. "The political power centres around the North Atlantic," he said. his makes Canada a key coun- ry." As the second largest country in a land-hungry world, Canada faced "a grave responsibility." Speaking "as a private citizen," he said he doubts whether Canada has the moral right to retain vast untapped natural resources tinless she is prepared to defend them and develop their wealth, The week-long conference is at- tended by nearly 100 young men and women from all parts of the province.

AJAX COMMUNITY NEWS George Thompson, Oshawa Wins Legion FRANCES CONANT Correspondent Ajax,- July 3.--George Thompson of 11% Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, veteran employee of General Motors was the lucky man on Friday night when his name was drawn from thousands by Stu Kenny, to win the 1950 Pontiac Deluxe. A monster dance and draw was held by the Ajax branch of the Canadian Leg- ior in the Recreation Hall The hall overflowing with danc- ers from Ajax and surrounding district enjoyed the melodious music of Paul Firman and his orchestra and songs by "Natalie" who was te singing attraction. Stu Kenny, well known ma:ter of ceremonies of radio station CKEY made the winning draw of the beautiful brand new Pontiac. While the crowd waited with. bated breath he declared the winner to be George Thompson of Oshawa. Mr. Thomp- son, a veteran of two wars has been employed by General Motors in the Stamping Department for 23 years. Belonging to the Legion Branch No 43 of Oshawa, Mr. Thompson said that he is always buying tick- ets on draws particularly when sponsored by the Legion. Mr. Thompson #nd 'family has resided in Oshawa for the last 23 years. An added attraction of the draw was that the seller of the winning ticket, who turned out to be Pete Marcotte of 41 Tudor St, Ajax, was declared to be the lucky winner of a $500.00 bond. Mr. Marcotte is also employed at General Motors in the same department as Mr, Thompson, and as his wife is ex- pecting an heir very shortly Mr. Marcotte said that the bond was most acceptable at this time. However this draw was not with- out its unusual twist for it seems that the stub of the actual ticket sold to Mr. Thompson by Mr. Mar- cotte was so mutilated that the committee deemed it necessary to call the ticket in and issue a new one, and oddly enough it was the new one that won the car. Mr. Charlie Cross president of the local branch presented the car to Mr. Thompson at 1 p.m, Saturday and at the same time Mr, Mc- Guinnes presented the Bond to Mr. Marcotte. ' This very successful draw and dance was under the convenership of Cec McGuinnes and his com- mittee Jack Burney, G. G. Pat- terson, Charlie Cross and Syd Syd- garsdge. E. Whitby Safe (Continued from page 1) over an hour before fleeing from the building empty handed. Desks in the office were not tam- pered with. Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Cole, of 323 Elgin Street West, discovered the safes had been broken into when they arrived at the buil to clean up around 8.30 a.m. Sunday, "I happened to see a tarpaulin covering the safes and I knew right away something was wrong," Mrs. Cole said. "We notified Chief Cair- ney at once. The acetylene torch tanks were nearby. I didn't see any crow-bars around." On October 8, 1948, safecrackers entered the same building and made off with a safe containing some $3,200 including $1,200 in cash and a police arsenal from the Provincial Police office situated in the build- ing. The safe, stripped of its con- tents was found a day later in a field near Brooklin. Municipal re- cords were recovered some time later. Cole was first to report the theft at that time also. Local Sea Cadets Cruise Lake Ontario Approximately 15 members of R.C.8.C. "Drake" went for a cruise Saturday afternoon on Lake Ontario in the vessel owned by Bill Leggett.

Will Promote Ottawa, July 3 -- (CP) ---Can- ada today named the man to forge the first link in her new informal sconomie tie-up with Western Eur- pe. He is Sydney D. Pierce, Associate Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce and a key man in Can- ada's arms mobilization and pro- duction planning. The External Affairs Department said. he will represent Canada at the next meeting of the Coungil of the rganization for European Economic Co-operation at Paris July 6. He will report back on the meth- ods by which he feels Canada could best fulfill her agreement to work informally with O.EEC. to bring about greater economic co-operation between Europe and North Ameri- ca and to solve economic problems generally. O.EEC. is the international or- ganization that grew up out of Marshall aid. Both Canada and the U.S. recently agreed to share in its deliberations on an informal basis. The announcement does not mean Mr. Pierce will be Canada's perm- anent representative on O.E.E.C. His advice will have a large bearing on what form that representation will take. The fact that he is the Trade Department's arms chief- raises the possibility that he will carry for- ward in Paris Canada's hopes to become an arms-producing country under The Atlantic Pact. Soviet Press Stirring Up Indignation Moscow, July 3--(AP)--The Mos- cow Press said today popular indig- nation over American intervention in Korea is spreading throughout Russia. 3 The Communist party newspaper Pravda said protest meetings were taking place in factories and office buildings all over the country. Much of the press comment on public reaction to the Korean crisis appeared to be+a rehash of stories which appeared last week. At that time the papers said the public re- mained calm. Now they appeared to be trying to stir 'the people up against the United States.) "The Soviet people," Pravda said in a front-page editorial, "and all progressive humanity express a de- cisive protest against American ag- gression in Korea and are strength- ening the struggle for a firm peace in all the world against warmon- gers." J U.S. Troops (Continued from page 1) reported stopped, however. American and North Korean re- ports described a steady Communist push southwards on roads span- ning a front 55 miles wide. The American infantry men were being sped to new break-through area by truck and rail. Tom Lambert, Associated Press correspondent, in Taejon, advance U.S. headquarters 93 miles south of Seoul, said that if the Reds main- tain the speed of their advance they may run up against the Ameri- cans today. The latest break-out by two mechanized columns was launched from the Yongdungpo area on the southwestern edge of Seoul. Earlier, reports from Taejon said two other columns had pushed south from positions east of Seoul. Situation Serious Moving south - eastward, these columns outflanked Suwon, with its air field 20 miles south of Seoul. A U.S. spokesman at Taejon called this development serious. Both columns were brought under attack by U.S. planes just before dark Sunday. One pilot said one column had 12 tanks and the other a number of trucks. The tank-led columns on the west crossed the broad Han River over a repaired railroad bridge which had been blown by the South Korean defenders. A pontoon bridge also had been thrown across the Han. Suwon and its important air field was a no-man's-land as late as Sunday night. Ten North Korean Yak fighters attacked Suwon's air field. Observers there said four of the planes bore the Red Star of the Russian Air Force. Use Russian Planes Russia has supplied the North Koreans with all their planes. It was possible that these were rushed into battle without painting over the Russian insignia. A US. Air Force communique said two hostile planes were shot down, one with Red Star markings. The communique was cautiously worded, however, and did not men- tion Russia. U.S. B-29 Superforts also were again in action, flying 135 miles into North Korea and plastering the air- field at Yonpo. Pilots said the field yas covered by smoke when they eft. : Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head- quarters announced that Maj.-Gen. William F. Dean had been named commander of all American forces in Korea. Dean formerly com- manded U.S. occupation forces in South Korea, was the last military governor of that area and since has commanded the 24th Infantry Di- vision in Japan. To Keep Out Chinese Washington, July 3--(AP)-- The United States manoeuvred today to keep Chinese forces--both Nation- alist and Communist--from becom- ing involved in the fighting in Korea. In a note to the Nationalist government on Formosa, Wash- ington warned Generalissimo Chiang-Kai Shek that before he dispatches any troops to aid the South Koreans, he should con- sider the defences of his own Communist-threatened position. He was advised to consult Gen. Douglas MacArthur on Formosa's defence arrangements, and the note disclosed that plans for the consul- tations between Chiang's and Mac- Arthur's representatives had al- ready been made, The published American attitude toward Nationalist China's offer of aid in the Korean fighting was bas- ed on "the threat of invasion" of Formosa by Chinese Communists. However, it was understood here that a major consideration was the possible reaction of the Commun- ists to any such aid move. Diplomatic and military authori- ties were represented as feeling that the entrance into Korea of Chiang's forces--he offered 33,000 men-- would be seized upon by the Com- munists as an excuse for sending their own Chinese troops into the fighting on the side of the North- ern invaders, Meanwhile, members of the Un- ited Nations which are co-operating in the efforts to roll back the Red forces from South Kotea were re- ported generally to favor naming MacArthur, American Far East com- mander, as supreme commander for the U.N. in this struggle. Naval Ships in Action London, July 3--(AP) -- The ad- miralty disclosed today that Royal Navy warships came through un- scathed in their first fight with North Korean vessels. Supplementing Gen, Douglas MacArthur's communique-- which said a combined United States and British fleet sank five of six motor torpedo boats engaged off the Kor- ean east coast yesterday--the ad- miralty released a message from Admiral Sir Patrick Briand, British Naval Commander-in-chief in the Far East.

Hogs 900; good and choice hogs Business By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor The International Chamber of Commerce believes that fast action should be taken to free internation- al trade from many of the restric- tions which were perhaps unavoid- able in the post-war world. Now, it says, the reconstruction period is largely over, The I.C.C.'s views are outlined in a '3,000-word statement following a meeting in Paris this month of more than 100 delegates from 24 countries. The I.C.C. advocates removal of restrictions which handicap "mul- tilateral" trade--trade flowing free- ly among many countries instead of between two countries or even groups of countries. It asks that currencies be freely converted from one into another and sees hope towards this in the European payments union, This should lead to free exchange- ability of cumencies in the union area. The next step should be to ex- tend exchangeability 'to current transactions with the United States dollar area (including Canada). But: "The freeing of the pound ster- ling is the key to the solution of the problem of world-wide currency ex- changeability."
