Aug. 2--(OP)--| Controller Allan Lamport of Toron- | to, who made headlines this week | by protesting the use of "plain-| clothes" police cars to nab speeders, | was one of 106 motorists fined here today--for speeding. | They paid a total of about $2,500. A town constable from Sutton said he clocked Controller Lamp- port's éar at an excessive rate of speed in that community. } Admiral Confirms Russian Sub Story Montreal, Aug. 4 (CP)--Rear Ad- miral E. R. Mainguy said today that because of information received from reliable fishermen about sub- marine activities off Canada's east coast there is little doubt that the undersea craft were Russian. Rear Admiral Mainguy, flag: of- | ficer, Atlantic Coast, of the Royal | Canadian Navy, was a passenger aboard the liner Empress of Can- ada sailing for Liverpool. "The fishermen were most reliable and would have no reason to give out false stories," he said. He added that had the submarines been those of other nations their | captains would have reported their positions. No such reports were re- ceived at the time and date the fishermen sighted the subs. Rear Admiral Mainguy will tour Royal Navy establishments in Eng- land, Scotland and Northern Ire- land. Later he will take command | of a Canadian squadron which will | visit Atlantic-pact countries and re- turn to Canada in November. No Limit On Enlistments Ottawa, Aug. 4 (CP)--The Gov- ernment, because of the world crisis, is placing no limitation on | the number of men enlisted in the regular and reserve forces, Defence Minister Claxton said today. He said they will take "all the qualified men" they can get. In a statement on recruiting, he said. speculation placing manpower | targets at various figures in the | new recruiting drive "are not justi- fied." "The simple fact is that ceilings have been removed and we are tak- ing on all the qualified men we can get for active and reserve forces." He also said: 1, The Army, as one of a number of "important" recruiting steps, is eliminating the grade eight educa- tional standard for recruits but they will still have to pass the so- called "M" test of general knowl- edge. 2. Staffs have been boosted to handle the biggest recruiting influx since the war. Training establish- ments are being built up to accom modate the flow. 3. The first report on the pro- gress of the recruiting drive started July 20 will be issued next week. | The applicants since that date have | been "many times" more than in| guy corresponding peacetime per- fod. Indian Parliament - Okays Nehru Policy New Delhi, India, Aug. 4 -- (AP) -- Parliament approved today the policy of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru supporting United Nations action in Korea. The parliament action followed a debate on foreign policy in whicin Nehru defended his support of the U.N. action against aggression in Korea, but chided the western powers for failure to give the Chinese Communists a seat in the U.N. 'Pleasingly Plump' Group Fights Fat By Mass Efforts Long Beach, Calif, Aug. 4--(AP) --A bunch' of Two-Ton Tillies--137 of them -- have formed Fatties Anonymous to fight that war on the hips. The group operates on the same theory as Alcoholics Anonymous-- helping each other. President and founder, a night club entertainer who weighs 281, pounds, announced the plan yesterday. "I used to Have a ship-shape fig- ure," admits Miss 281, "but de- veloped an enlarged keel." F.A. meets weekly in the" V.F.W. Hall (V.F.W. used to stand for Vet- erans of Foreign Wars but it now dubbed' Very Fat Women.) Members take an oath to give up fats, sugars, starches and carbo- hydrates. The president says some of the members have dropped as much as eight pounds in two weeks. The average shedding is a pound a week.

Auto Radio U.S, Combat Unit Kills 600 Thieves At Work Again Thieves who specialize in steal- ing car ,radios and clocks were at work between the hours of dusk and dawn last night in North Osh- awa and made off with four radios and one timepiece. All thefts occurred within two blocks of one another. "I left my. car in the garage but neither the car doors nor the gar- age doors were locked," said Mrs. Lucas Peacock, 556 Simcoe Street North. The Peacocks car radio was stolen from their 1948 model sedan sometime between midnight and 8 a.m. today. "I never lock the car doors," Mrs, Peacock told a Times- Gazette reporter. "Others who have had car radios stolen told me they locked their car doors and the locks were broken, so I'm glad I didn't lock mine." A' clock and radi were stolen from the 1950 model convertable coupe owned by Ray Bennett of Bennett Motor Sales between mid- night and 8 o'clock this morning. "The car was parked in the drive- way at the side of the house," said Mrs. Bennett, Boulevard. "The hood was closed but the doors were unlocked." Two other radios taken from cars last night were owned by H. J. Marks, 48 Buckingham Avenue and Jack H. Lea, Apartment eight, Buckingham Manor Apartments, 498 Simcoe Street North. Both were new model cars. Inspector Wilbur Dawn who is investigating the thefts did not dis- close any further information connection with the case. Korea (Continued from page 1) reported the North Koreans were pouring tanks and infantry rein- forcements to the southern battle sector. He said Communist soldiers were coming into battle as recruits from Korean settlements in Soviet-dom- inated Manchuria. Many are Japa- nese trained veterans of the Chinese Communist wars. The fresh troops, if not halted by planesq could reach the front in three days or less. The Wongbun battle started Fri- day morning. The U.S. Eighth Army report- ed 1st Cavalry Division patrols drew enemy fire in the Taegu sector. Taegu is seven miles east of the Naktong River. South Korean troops also were in con- tact with the Reds in the north. 1st Cavalry commanders said all bridges on the Naktong in the Taegu area had been blown after the Al- lied troops made their last defen- sive river crossing. The first reported combat efforts of the newly-arrived U.S. Marines in Korea were staging strikes by carrier-borne Marine planes in sup- port of allied southern forces. 1st Marine and 2nd Infantry Divi- sion troops, fresh from the U.S. were at the front. The Marines have 47: -ton Pershing tanks, the largest the Americans have thrown into the Korean fighting, The 25th Division, shortly after reaching the southern sector, hurled back a Red counter-attack, killing an estimated 600 Communists. The North Koreans have four divisions on or possibly going to the southern front. Against them are the American 25th and possibly elements of the Marines, 2nd Infantry and the 5th Regimental Combat Team from Hawaii. The 24th has been withdrawn to an unannounced position, Contact was maintained on all sectors of the 125-mile front. U.S. naval warcraft shelled red troops 10 miles north of Yongdok on the East coast, 80' miles north of Pusan. Towns hit by naval shells there were Chucksandong, 10 miles north of Yongdok, Yangyang and Chummunijin, which is near the 38th parallel. On the Korean west coast, an al- lied war vessel knocked out a gun emplacement on the Onjin penin- sula, northwest of Seoul ,the long- lost South Korean capital. The war- ship was not identified, Air sweeps knocked out 12 enemy locomotives and damaged seven. Fighters and bombers hit the southwestern naval base of Mokpo with small vessels as the targets, Docks and rail yards at ¥osu and Sunchon, in the deep south, were bombed and strafed. Air reconnaissance said the Reds were building up strength in the Taejon area, 90 miles northeast of Chinju. These reserve troops could be rushed to the Wongbun sector or shifted to the Taegu front. In the early stages of the south- ern battle, the Americans jabbed sharply into the Communists, disor- ganizing efforts to mount a full- scale offensive, Blows were traded on other sec- tors of the front. An American reg- imental combat team beat back a small Red attack at Pongam, 18 miles east of Chinju and eight south of Wongbun. This was their nearest approach Friday to Pusan. South Korean troops near the Hamchang-Andong front skirmish- | 'ed with the Reds. A spokesman at Gen. MacArthur's headquarters said the situation was now "shifting from the defensive to the offensive" for United Nations forces. CONSIDERATE POLICE Chatham, Aug. 4--(CP)--Chatham police have decided to be lenient in treatment with visitors from beyond the boundaries of Kent County who | violate traffic regulations. Instead of a ticket, the violators will receive a letter notifying them of the of- 1 fence, and suggesting that if they return they be wary. SHORT CIRCUIT Richmond Street firemen were called to Celina Street at 7.03 p.m. yesterday when a short circuit oc- curred in the wiring system of a truck. Using a portable extinguisher firemen put out the blaze, Damage was of a minor nature. 106 McLaughlin | in | | | By DON WHITEHEAD | On The Southern Korean Front, Aug. 4--(AP) -- United St les | troops counted more than 600 ene- Imy dead today after a battle that shattered the spearhead of an ene- my drive on the southern port city of Masan. ; The first Thursday morning forced the North Koreans to with- draw and delayed their build-up for the important push toward Masan, on the highway to the main American port of Pusan. In a bitter four-hour battle, the 27th Regimental Combat Team, led by Lt.-Col. John (Mike) Michaelis of Lancaster, Pa. virtually wiped out an entire enemy regiment. The engagement raged through the hills and rice paddies eight miles west of Masan, about 35 miles from Pusan. Koreans In Savage Fight About 250 Communists slipped {down a valley and bumped into [the entire , Angerican battalion (which had fought its way from be-* hind enemy lines only. a few hours before. That was about 7 a.m. The Com- munists brought up another 600 troops at 9 a.m. The artillery battery: near the command post turned point-blank fire on the Communists from its big 156s. The Americans hastily formed a defence line from which they could pour carbine and mor- tar fire into the attacking Reds. Many of the attackers dashed into a little mud hut village. The artillery blasted it to bits. Bodies of the Reds were found today strewn among the ruins. The Americans lost 16 killed and 44 wounded, regimental officers es- timated. Prejudice Handicaps Deaf Ontario Association Told Windsor, Aug. 4 (CP)--The great- est handicap of deaf persons is not deafness itself, but prejudice and misunderstandings R. E. McBrien, secretary of the Ontario _Associa- tion of the Deaf said Thursday night. He told the opening meeting of the association's biennial conven- tion that Ontario's deaf citizens, or- ganized under the Ontario Associa- tion of the Deaf since 1866, find it necessary to band together to at- tain their objectives. Using finger spelling and hand signs to address the delegates, from across Ontario and from nearby Michigan districts, Mr. McBrien said that present friendly relations between deaf organizations in Can- ada and the United States may some day draw them together into He said the O.A.D. is continuing its efforts to obtain reforms at the Ontario School for the Deaf at Belleville to have finger spelling |' and signs used by teachers in addi- tion to the present system of speech and lip reading. A review of education methods for the deaf was given by Edmund A, Boatner, superintendent of the American School for the Deaf at West Hartford, Conn. Mr. Boatner opposed a present tendency to appoint persons as heads of schools who have no train- ing in teaching the deaf. Language is more important than speech, he said. Knowledge of languages enables a child to read and write and opens the door to all the world's knowledge. one unit, Ottawa, Aug. 4 (CP) -- Hundreds | of persons -- government colleagues, | trade unfon heads, diplomats, civil | servants' and personal admirers -- | today filed past the bier of Humph- rey Mitchell. yi The body of the British immigrant who rose from trade union ranks to hold Canada's labor portfolio for nearly a decade of its most difficult years lay in the Hall of Fame await- ing the capital's second state funer- al in little more than a week.

Shields, sitting beside his brother John, age 20, was cut about the face by flying glass. According to eye witnesses the accident occurred when the Shields car, northbound on Albert Street, shortly after 7 p.m. was struck .n the left side by an automobile eastbound on Athol street East. The force of the impact, which badly damaged the eastbound car, flipped the Shields' English-made auto over on its right side. The car travelling on Athol Street was driven by Mary P. Freeman, 6 Kingsbury Crescent, Toronto. Neither she or John Shields were injured. The cars were pulled apart by-a tow-truck and taken away to a garage for repairs. Toronto Magistrate Hurt In 4-Car Crash Toronto, Aug. -4 (CP).--Police said it all started when the driver of a light delivery truck jammed on his brakes at ,rush hour today and prepared to bawl out T. J. Esau, a motorist from -St. Catharines, Ont. Edgar Hughson, 21, of Toronto, driving a loaded tractor-trailer directly behind the delivery truck on the highway near west-end Exhibition Grounds, tried to stop. His vehicle jack-knifed into the centre of the road and struck an oncoming car driven by Magistrate F. C. Gullen, 67, of Toronto, who suffered head injuries.

The all-navy guard was in respect to Mr. Mitchell's pride in having served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. Ottawa, Aug. 4 (CP)--Death of Labor Minister. Mitchell and the| tense international situation may | lead Prime Minister St. Laurent to | reshuffle his cabinet soon. It is known that until a month ago Mr. St. Laurent had no plans for changes in his cabinet. But the situation has changed since then. Canadian participation in the] Korean conflict has increased the duties of Defence Minister Claxton, now in charge of all three branches of the defence services. There has been some speculation that an ad- ditional minister might be appointed to share the burden if the interna- tional situation becomes more acute. In the Second World War, there St. Laurent May Re-Shape | Cabinet To Fit World Crisis was a separate minister for each of | the three defence forces. | There have been some indications that a fall session of Parliament | will be called, possibly in Septem- | ber or October, to authorize the] sending of ground forces to Korea. Any cabinet changes likely would be made before such a session. The session might also be asked to | authorize revival of the Munitions and Supply Department which oper- ated during the Second World War and handled the production, supply and purchasing of material needed by the armed forces. The government has ready a blue- of the department. Cabinet (Continued from page 1) session, expected in September or October, has become rife on Parlia- ment Hill, Informed quarters said that unless the world situation dark- ens even further Parliament is likely to be asked only to ap- prove an expeditionary force and to take some further mea- sures for home defence. Pending Monday's meeting, Cab- inet has made no definite decision about the date Parliament should be recalled nor how many troops should go to Korea, All ministers have been asked to be present then. It was learned that External Af- fairs Minister Pearson made a se- cret trip to Washington this week to get background information: to place before the series of Cabinet sessions. | These developments lent weight to indications that there already is Froad ministerial agreements on the principle of sending ground forces to Korea. It is believed Parliament will meet probably in late Septemb- er or early October to ratify the move. Observers see the Monday Cabinet meeting as being called primarily obtain the approval of such men as Finance Minister Abbott and Agriculture Minister Gardiner, who were no. in attendance at yester- day's sitting. About six ministers were absent. A volunteer foroe of 1,000 mer specially designated to fight the North Korean Reds has been men- tioned as a likel, outcome of the Cabinet sessions.

The House threw it out on a standing vote of 172 to 161. The idea had been tentatively approved yesterday 159 to 128. The action left before the House a controls bill providing only stand- by allocation and priorities powers for the President, authority to re- quisition war-needed materials, to grant production loans and to curb credits, This bill, however, was subject to amendment to add wage-price con- trols.

Recruiters Query On Korean Service Halifax, Aug. 4--(CP)--Men in- terested in joining the Army are being asked by recruiting officers if they will serve in Korea, an Army | spokesman said here today. He said that if they replied in the negative it did not mean they would be turned down, and added that the question on Korea was for the Ar- my"s information only. When enlist- ing the recruit must sign a state- | ment that he will serve anywhere. All educational requirements have been waived by the Army, the spokesman said. Now the applicant needs no "papers," such as birth certificate and evidence of educa- tional standing to join the men in khaki.

Eisler Says Soldiers Desert To Join Reds Berlin, Aug. 4 -- (AP) -- Gerhari Eisler, East German chief of in- formation, said today a British and an American soldier had deserted "to join our peace front." Eisler said the soldiers were Rob- ert Natzkakula, an American, and John K. Waller, a British corporal. Both soldiers appeared at a press conference in their uniforms. U.S. Army officials said a private by the name of Natzkakula has been missing since April 17. They said he had three court martial demerits against him and was dis- honora.ly discharged as '"undesir- able" about the time he vanished. A British spokesman said a Robert K. Waller, 20, has been missing from a British supply depot since May 15. Council (Continued from page 1) Union wanted the council to go into "the question of whose design and whose command brought about the unleashing of this new wave of tragedy and bloodshed which has overtaken the international com- munity." "Inadvertently, he might ex- pose the villain," he said. Maiik retorted that Austin was "hysterical and his hand wavings and shouting don't make any impression on me as a Soviet delegate. If he is trying to blackmail me he has directed his remarks to the wrong address." British Delegate Sir Gladwyn Jebb commented Malik's "offensive and indeed irregular speech makes it completely clear that his govern- ment is determined to maintain what is the reverse of the truth." Jean Chauvel of France branded Malik's charge of U.S. aggression in Korea "false" and added: "I repeat, it is false." Malik also said the United Na- tions - must choose between two paths "the path of war." He as- serted the Soviet Union and Gen- eralissimo Stalin are the true leaders of peace, of The Times- | Bus' ess And Markets Pui Spotlight By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor The first big gathering of Cana- dian business men since the Korean fighting started, will be held at Banff, Alta. Sept. 11-14. It will be the annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce, with delegates present from all 10 provinces. The gathering naturally will con- sider business problems against the background of the heatened inter- national situation, and of worsened conditions should they arise. In the words of D. L. Morrell, the Chambers' general manager: "This is a testing period for busi- ness, when political and economic thinking, both here and abroad, is subject to constant change. It. is important that businessmen should | study and discuss the issues of the day so that they may be prepared to play their part in the' great poili- | tical and economic debates now be- | ing waged in the national interna- | tional forums of the world." Also: Setting Seen Adequate "Recent discoveries of natural re- sources in Alberta and the co-oper- ative spirit with which government and business are developing these resources make this province an ap- propriate setting in which to discuss the great problem of how public and private initiative can beat work to develop Canada's national health." National defence will be consider- ed from both a community and na- tional point of view, and other dis- cussions will include foreign trade and pensions, Maritime, Quebec and Ontario delegates will leave Montreal and Toronto, Sept. 5, with their cars Joining into a special train at Sud- bury, Ont., and there will be visits at Port Arthur, Fort William, Win- nipeg, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Calgary, including a tour of the St. Mary's dam, irrigation project near Lethbridge. Widespread Organization Following the Banff meeting dele- gates will spend three days in Van- | couver and Victoria and.on the way | back wil] visit Edmonton. The* Canadian Chamber makes a good case for claiming to be a real grass-roots organization, with mem- bership spread into the smallest places. Some 668 Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce belong to it, from villages to cities, so that virtually every aspect of Canadian life is heard from, This year's meeting will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Cham- ber's founding; although, because there were mo gathering in some war years, it will be only the 21st annual meeting. Robert A. Bryce of Toronto, elect- ed at last year's meeting in Mon- treal; is president, Francis G. Win- spear 6f Edmonton is national vice- president and, in ordinary course, will be incoming president. J. H. Brace of Montreal is chairman of the executive.

Church Official Urges College Training For Potential Leaders Kitchener, Aug. 4--(CP)--The very existence of the Evangelical United Brethren church is threat- ened unless means for leadership training are provided, Dr. O. T, Deever of Dayton, O., said Thurs- day. The director of the church's high- er education told the Biennial ses sion of the board that financial difficulties make it an "almost in- superable" problem to maintain church colleges and seminaries. Balance between independent Christian institutions and state schools had changed in the United States. Dr. Deever forecast that in a few years, four out of five stu- dents will be educated by the state. "It is not difficult to predict, after a generation or two of this educa- tion, the effect on life, the charac- ter and thinking of America," he said. "If the church -is to continue to exist, it must. provide means of training its leadership." LOST $100 Bank of Canada $100 bill between Royal Bank and Dominion Bank, South.
