Chinese Reds Shell - British Ship, Jade Leaf Hong Kong, April 17 (AP) -- Chinese Communist 'shore batteries shelled the British blockade runner Jade Leaf, it was disclosed today. No serious damage to the ship or dnjury to personnel was reported. The Reds let loose a barrage of shore artillery. One shell struck the ship on the port side. U.N. Troops (Continued from Page 1) Star jets struck Communist rail facilities Tuesday for the third straight day. The Reds lighted forest fires and smudge pots in an effort to hide their ground movements from allied pilots. The new field commander of the US$. Eighth Army, Lt.-Gen. James A. Van Fleet, visited his troops Tues- day on the western front, after saying his forces are ready and able to contain any Communist thrust, Labor, Clergy Rap Conant's Proposals Toronto, April 17 (CP)--Clergy- men and labor leaders today criti- cized a suggestion by Hon. Gordon Conant ' that legalized gambling might be a sclution to the Ontario government's "lottery headache. Mr. Conant, former attorney-gen- eral, said at a Rotary Club meet- ing in Belleville last night that his experience had convinced him that a '"large percentage of the people of Ontario are bound to gamble in some manner." Charles Millard, Canadian direc- tor of the United Steelworkers of America (C.I.0.), said he could see no control of gambling and liquor other than a form of control through education. "I am not in favor of more gambling under le- galized gambling to control illegal gambling," he said. Dr. J. R. Mutchmor, secretary of the Board of Evangelism and Social Service of the United Church of Canada, sald: "Legalized gambling has had disastrous results in any places that have tried it. The more legalized gambling you permit, the more increase there will be in il- legal gambling." Canon W. Wallace Judd, secretary of the Council for Social Service of the Church of England, express- ed the same views as Dr. Mutch- mor. "What is needed is even bet- ter enforcement of the present laws and the co-operation of the Chris- tian public in small matters of gambling," he said. Gaming House (Continued from Page 1) tion in the United States was re- vealed recently in the proceedings before the Senate Crime Investi- gating Committee where there was told, as expressed by the Chairman Senator Kefauver, 'the sordid story of the filth on America's doorstep.' Senator Kefauver concluded that 'there is a nation-wide crime syn- dicate . . . In the United States,' and refers to 'criminal and political corruption' as disclosed by large sums of money paid to politicians for immunity by such racketeers as Costello, Adonis, Acardo, Luciana and their like. "There is no place in Ontario for such crooks and we must not let them get a foothold here. But we must . bestir ourselves. They con- trol and make use of fabulous sums of money to accomplish their pur- pose. It is still true, in one sense, that crime does not pay but it is equally true in another sense that crime does pay big money. And they are insidious and clever in the ways of crime. They are ruthless and will stop at nothing--not even murder--to attain their ends. Must Keep Ontario Free "What can we do to prevent con- ditions in the United States devel- oping in Ontario?," Mr. Conant queried. : "The "Ontario legislature at its last session appointed a committee to enquire into the administration of justice in the province. I wish that committee every success and would be glad to assist it in every way within my power. Nothing that I may say is intended to interfere with the work of that committee. "But, with the greatest deference, and I speak with some experience, having presided over a similar com- mittee in 1940, committee enquiries, royal commissions and similar in- vestigations cannot get at the root of the matter. The crook, who bribes a policeman or a politician, is not likely to come forward and give evidence and, the recipient is no more likely to do so. When one does testify that he bribed some person, it is emphatically denied-- and there the matter ends. Such transactions are always craftily arranged to leave no evidence of the deal, "From my experience of over eight years as crown attorney and as attorney-general, I am of the opinion that there is only one way to stamp out such corruption. For- tunately, we have in the Ontario Provincial Police as capable and honest a police force as there is to be found anywhere--not excepting the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the F.B.I. or any other law enforce- ment organization. Let the OP.P. be enlarged and entrusted with the responsibility of uncovering such corruption and bringing the guilty persons to justice, With a few confidential men on the police force in every city in Ontario they would know what is going on and would be able to obtain the neces- sary evidence to convict, Not Consistent or Logical "With regard to gambling, we are neither consistent nor logical. We allow gambling at certain places and under certain conditions. Our laws regarding lotteries are largely flouted. From my experience, I am convinced that a large percentage of the people of Ontario are bound to gamble in some manner and in some amount, great or small, and that if such people are not allowed to gamble legally they will do it illegally. tried prohibition in Ontario. We abandoned that for liquor con- trol. We have tried anti-gambling laws. They can only be enforced with the utniost difficulty and with indifferent success." Yugoslavia Gets Major UK Loan London, April 17 -- (AP) -- Bri- tain is lending. Yugoslavia £4,000, 000 ($11,800,000) to buy raw material and some consumer goods, informed sources said today. The British action follows closely President Truman's grant of $29,- 000,000 in aid for Premiar Tito yes- terday. The hard-pressed Yugoslay gov~ ernment, beset by drought sald its greatest needs are raw materials such as- leather, cotton, wool and rubber, Yugoslavia also is seeking arms ald. A foreign office spokesman sald the arms request now is under study in_Washington.

Fear 75 Lost (Continued from Page 1) spokesman sald. He added, how- ever, that the navy did not pin much hope on this theory. The admiralty announced that next of kin of all aboard were be- ing informed that the Affray was overdue. A big four-engined R.AF. Lan- caster bomber led the search along a stretch of sea 75 miles long and 25 miles wide off the South Chan- nel coast for the 1,600-ton craft, which is equipped with a Schnorkel breathing apparatus and escape de- vices. Zig-zagging along the Affray's assigned course, airmen watched for oil slick, debris or emergency marker buoys around the point where the submarine went into her dive at 9:15 p.m. EST (3:15 p.m. EST) Monday, about 25 miles south of the Isle of Wight. She was to end the assignment at this base Thursday afternoon. After her dive the Affray was due to reappear 20 miles southeast of her starting point, at a point about 100 miles west of Portsmouth. HAVE LOST 10 SUBS London, April 17--(AP) -- The Royal 'Navy has suffered 10 major peacetime submarine disasters, costing 467 lives, during the last three decades: 1921--K5 vanished off the Scilly Isles, near the southwestern tip of Cornwall, with the loss of 57 lives. 1922--H42 rammed by a destroyer near Gibraltar, 26 lost. 1924--124 sank after a collision during exercises off Portland, 43 lost. 1925 -- M1 sank during ma- noeuvres off Start Point, 68 lost. 1926--H29 sank at Devonport, six lost. 1920 -- HT and L123 collided off Pembrokeshire, Wales, 24 lost. 1931 -- Poseidon rammed and sunk by Chinese steamer in the China Sea, 20 lost. 1932--M2 disappeared, sank Portland, 60 lost, 1939--Thetis 'sank while making jsiten trials in Liverpool Bay, 99 lost. 1950--Truculent sank after col- lislon with Swedish tanker ' off mouth of Thames River, 64 lost. off Ottawa, April 17--(CP)--Oppo- sition" parties in the Commons, critical of Finance Minister Ab- bott's 1951-52 budget, called yes- terday for votes of non-confidence in the government. The non-confidence motions, traditional means to obtain re- corded votes on specific griev- ances, were sponsored' by spokesmen for the Progressive Conservative and C.C.F. par- ties. Rules of the Commons prevented Solon Low, Social Credit leader, from presenting a similar motion at this stage, but he joined the other parties in suggesting changes in the budget brought' down a week ago by Mr. Abbott. The C.C.F. motion moved by M. J. Coldwell called for limiting the new 20-per-cent defence tax on personal incomes to single persons who earn from than $1,500 a year and to married persons earning more than $3,000. Under the bud- get, the tax will apply to all tax payers. The Progressive Conservative mo- tion sponsored by their chief finan- cial critic, J. M. Macdonnell (P.O.-- Toronto Greenwood) -- said the budget proposals are "unsatisfac- tory bacause they will inevitably increase the cost of living for all to bear it." The motion expressed regret at the government's "failure" to take effective steps "to deal with pro- fiteering." It also said: "This house condemns in pé¥- ticular, as inflationary the increase by 25 per cent of the general sales tax and is of the opinion that the increase is unnecessary and un- wise, t "This house further condemns the heavy increase in excise taxes on certain essential commodities and is of the opinion that much of the government's proposed huge increase in taxation is due to its own extravagance." Mr. Low termed the budget "inflationary" and said it would do nothing to "put value back into the Canadian dollar and to bring down the cost of liv- ing to manageable propor- tions." Mr. Coldwell said his party wish- ed to renew demands for a "com- prehensive national economic plan and the immediate institution of price controls and subsidies." Mr. Low said he also felt that Mr. Abbott should have left the sales tax untouched and levied an additional tax on liquor and beer. By increasing the sales tax, Mr. Abbott had" "increased the hard- ships of many Canadian people and had definitely contributed to an increase in prices." Dr. W. G. Blair (P.C.--Lanark) said the Canadian dairy industry should be given protection against the margarine industry and "low- priced goods" from other coun- tries. Dr. Blair sald the margarine in- dustry"is a continuous threat to the dairy industry. That threat should be considered by labar or- ganizations and consumers. "Should we accept a policy of cheap foods at the cost of jobs and employment?" he asked. 'Bradley (Continued from Page 1) may have stayed the Kremlin's hand as it was about to precipi- tate a Third World War. Bradley roundly backed the Pres ident's stand against MacArthur's ideas and defended the adminis- tration's policy of limiting the war in Korea. In a speech prepared for delivery to the National Association of Ra- dio and Television broadcasters, Bradley also said: 1. The Korean war, under present conditions, may be headed toward a stalemate, but it can be brought to an honorable conclusion; 2, The United States will not wage a preventive war; 3. The one price the US. will not pay for peace is appeasement; 4, The use the Reds have made of air bases in Manchuria to date has not warranted U.N, bombing "of them; 5. Action against aggression in Korea upset Communist plans in Asia, at least temporarily prevent ing Red moves in Indo-China and perhaps saving Thailand and For- mosa, and 6.

However, at Maniwaki, Que., 90 miles north of Ottawa, it was re- ported the Gatineau had dropped four inches, alleviating some of the immediate danger. Yesterday the Maniwaki Lumber Mill was forced to close down after the Gatineau spilled its banks. At the E, B. Eddy Company, across the Ottawa River from the parliament buildings, three paper- making machines were shut down yesterday, forcing 40 men. out of work. Up and down the valley yester- day, evacuation by boat was being considered or under way in a dozen district centres, ¢ Hardest-hit town is Gatineau point, where it is estimated almost half the homes in the community are affected by the floods. About 30 families have had to leave their homes and 100 more have moved from lower to upper floors. Some of the evacuees were: put up in the town hall but it did not provide .he best accommodation since it basement was flooded and there was no heat. Non-Confidence Votes Called By Opposition; Rap New Tax System and especially for those least able | mittees, Russia--is militarily impracticable, ed Aldermen (Continued from Page 1) that there was too much excess verbiage, she said. Every member of council apparently felt that he had to express an opinion on every subject, In many cases opinions were merely repetition of what had taken place or been said at earlier meetings or even paraphrasing of what had been said better and earlier during the same meeting. Getting Ridiculous "It is getting absolutely ridicu- lous," said Alderman Hayward Murdoch. "For the last four meet- ings I have been trying to get down to my committee (Traffic and Transportation) and haven't been able to.

Decisions, which ordinarily are left to city officials or at least to council com- , are now thrashed out in open council end then twelve opinions, some of them not too well informed, have to be expressed, it all takes time. Closure Rule Eleven o'clock was set some time ago as the hour for adjournment. Last night when it was reached Mayor Michael Starr proposed that council continue. Alderman Finley M. Dafoe thought the rule should be adhered to and the matter was put to a vote. It was 6 to 5.in favor of continuing and for a time it looked like another post-mid- night session until Alderman Harry Benson recalled that it takes a two-thirds majority of council to authorize a change in rules. The Mayor conceded this but sald that he would not call a spe- cial meeting no matter how much unfinished business accumulated. "And I for one" sald Alderman Evelyn Bateman, "will not attend one." Dying Woman (Continued from Page 1) Salvation Army are co-operating in seeing that the family is provid- ed with ample clothing and other necessities before starting the trip, and Ajax friends have already sent off food parcels which will be very welcome when they arrive in Eng- land, It was pointed out by Mrs. J. Ellis, President of the Ajax War Brides' Association that the state ment made in certain newspapers that Mrs. Walker's mother was sending the passage money from England was incorrect. Mrs. Walk- er's mother had endeavored to do 50, but had been unable to make the necessary arrangements, The passages for the family have, there- fore, been provided entirely by the generous donations made in re- sponse to the public appeal on Mrs. Walker's behalf. The exact total of the fund which has been raised is mot yet certain, as the Ajax can- vass is still incomplete, and there are funds on deposit in several places, Jane Grey, broadcaster for radio station CHML of Hamilton, reported that she had received over $800 up to the present in re- sponse to her appeal. The Hamilton interest lies in the fact that the family lived there for some time, and Mr. Walker had en- listed in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders of that city in World War Two. The War Brides Association of Ajax has so far collected $222, and $31 in donations have been handed in to the Bank of Commerce Branch in Ajax. A General Mot- ors executive, who wished to remain anonymous, made a contribution of $100. Mr. Walker is an employee of the company, and hopes to find employment with the General Mot- ors plant in England. Revision (Continued from Page 1) offices has completely eliminated illegal betting in the street, and also, so far as we were able to discover, betting in factories." The commission also recommend- 1. No betting for anyone under 18 years .of age; 2. No state-promoted gambling. But the . government should tax betting as it taxed other forms of amusement; 3. Football pools should continue, but promoters should be forced to publish their accounts--which now are. kept secret. The commission suggested maximum prizes of from £10,000 to £20,000 ($29,500-$59,000); 4. No gambling (such as cards) in public. places.- In private it should be legal provided the pro- moter makes no private gain, and 5. Prohibition of slot' machines "which automatically deliver a prize to the successful operator." The commission concluded that "gambling is of no significance as a direct cause of serious crime."

The Librarian, Miss Jean Fetterly, reported that the circulation of bocks and records was down slightly with the same period last year. 449 new books were added in March and 105 books were with- drawn, 148 new readers joined the library. 39 new readers were added in the Boys' and Girls' Department, Miss Boes, the Children's Librarian, had five story hours with an attendance of 326. The films shown at 10:30 every Saturady morning are much enjoyed by the children. At Simcoe Hal. Miss Switzer had a party on St. Patrick's Day to stimulate interest in the library. 13 new readers were registered dur- ing the month--nearly twice as many as in February. The library club meets each Saturday morning to hear stories and help in the library. Miss .'etterly also informed the Board that th: new book truck had been finished and is now at the hospital ready for use.

In order to protect property invest- ment in the area to which the operation of this company would be a detriment. I think it should be changed back again." Ald. Dafoe Opposed Alderman Dafoe was opposed. "It is quite likely," he said, "that these people will get in touch with other English indusfry which might potentially establish here and in- form them of our decision. If, after assuring this industry that it was O.K. to establish here, we are go- ing to reverse our decision and hand them the double-cross, I don't want to have anything to do with it." The apparent reason for the change of heart, Alderman Dafoe continued, was because a number of people whose direct interests were affected, were "making a big fuss." "This company went away from here in good faith. It is going to find now, after having worked to promote the establishment of a company here that we have chang- ed our minds," Mr. Dafoe con- tinued. "It is not fair." Might Ruin Area Alderman Wesley Powers sald that establishment of such an in- dustry with the accompanying odors might ruin the development of a potential residential area in the south-western part of the city. Proclivity of this year's council for changing its mind on important issues was_clearly outlined by Al- derman Evelyn Bateman who con- tradicted the statement of one councillor that they did not know at the time they made their original decision that the leather processing plant might emanate odors. It was quite clear, she said, that the plant would do so if cer- tain processes were followed. Alderman Herbert Robinson thought council should not make up its mind on the subject until it "had all the facts in front of it." The amendment to the motion carried by a narrow margin.

BOX 214, OSHAWA TIMES-GAZETTE, OSHAWA AVAILABLE Republicans Ask Probe 0f U.5. Policy Washington, April 17--(AP) Senate Republicans today proposed creation of a 24-member Senate- House of Representatives commit- tee to make a broad investigation of Far Eastern policy. The Republican policy commit- tee endorsed a resolution calling for "a complete evaluation of the United States policies in the Far East and their relation to the for- eign and military policies of the United States as a whole." Senate Democratic leaders have agreed there should be an airing of the policy differences behind President Truman's \firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur from his Far Eastern commands. But both parties have accused each other of playing politics in the Truman-MacArthur contro- versy. Chairman Robert Taft (Rep. 0.) said the resolution ought to be pointed at a full airing of the Tru- man administration's world peli- cies, and not be just a limited in- quiry into the reasons for Mac- Arthur's discharge as Pacific com- mander. Pickets Stop Non-Strikers At Kitchener Kitchener, April 17 (CP)--Two non-strikers at the plant of Wun- der Furniture Manufactiuring Co., Ltd., were prevented from entering today by 200 pickets in front of the factory. Two others, including a superintendent, got into the building after a scuffle. Rubber workers turned out in force to help the Wunder Furniture employees who went on strike six weeks ago over the company's re- fusal to recognize the Upholsterers International Union (AFL) as bargaining agent. About 90 em- ployees are affected. Yesterday rubber workers showed up for the first time but the non- strikers got into the plant after a scuffle. The incident prompted an extra 100 to show up at 6.30 a.m. today. Police were unable to cope with the situation and radioed for re- inforcements. C. H. Hartleib, company secre- tary-treasurer, joined in the fray. When he attempted to leave the plant, the pickets stormed around his car shouting and jeering. Unionists were angered yesterday when police stood guard as a non- union cartage firm removed two truck loads of furniture and trans- ferred it to a larger non-union transport company in the city. This incident was partly responsible for the picket line being augmented to- day. Four Autos Damaged In Two Accidents The left side of a car driven by George A. Smallwood, Stephen- son's Road, was damaged yesterday when he was involved in an acci- dent with a car driven by Annie L. Smith, 366 Jarvis Street, at the intersection of Bond Street West and Prince Street yesterday after- noon. The front bumper of the car driven by Mrs. Smith was pushed in. In a second accident late yester- day afternoon, the trunk and rear bumper of a car driven by Francis Sexsmith, Newcastle, was dented when struck from the rear by a dump truck while he stopped in the line of traffic on King Street East. The driver of the truck, R. J. Oliver, 37 Mill Street, told police that he skidded on the wet pavement when he applied his brakes to stop for the traffic. Find More Fake Bills In Peterborough Peterborough, April 17 (CP) Four more counterfeit $10 bills turned up here today to add to the two that were discovered last week. This brings to 14 the number of bogus bills found in the district since Friday. Six have turned up in this city, five in Lindsay, two in Bewdley and cne in Bailieboro. Three men were arrested by pro- vincial police last Wednesday night and charged with being in posses- sion of counterfeit bills. They will appear in police court in Cobourg tomorrow.

TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1951 Supper Closes 20th Anniversary Celebrations marking the founde ing of Grace Lutheran Church, Ale bert Street, 20 years ago were concluded last night with a congre- gational supper in the church pare lors. Well over 100 persons attends ed. A film entitled "Reaching from Heaven" was much enjoyed by those in attendance as was music provided by the Young Ladies' Group and the Walther League Choir. Near capacity congregations ate tended both the morning and even= ing services on Sunday. Chaplain Major Harold Merklinger, of the Canadian Army, conducted both services.
