The Times-Gazelle . Average Per Issue for MAY : Big Docket For General Session Court Three bills were presented to the Grand Jury this morning for its consideration at the opening of the General Sessions of the Peace be- fore Judge F. J. MacRae, néwly ap- pointed as senior official "of the judiciary in Ontario County. In ad- dition to the three charges under the criminal code Judge MacRae and a petit jury, which will be se- lected later today, will consider eight or ten civil cases. William Armstrong of Thorah Township is charged on two counts of retaining stolen property. The first accusation lists an amount of building material and the second a water pump. Paul Russell, Ken- dall Avenue, Oshawa, faces a charge of stealing an automobile radio from Smith Transport Limited and Stanley William Jones, of Toronto |is alleged to have broken into Wal- ter Howsan's garage at Manchester. In his address to the members of the Grand Jury, who chose Gordon Bunker, of Oshawa, as their fore- man, Judge MacRae said that the grand jury has played a great role in British legal history from .the time back in the early days when "| the king selected a group of men to help try the accused. The Crown would present the evi- dence of its witnesses to the grand jury, said' Judge MacRae and it would be its duty to decide whether or not the charge should be sus- tained in court. If it felt that the charges should - be sustained' and the defence evidence heard true bills should be entered. If, however, it was felt that the Crown did not have enough evidence to give the suspicion of guilt "no bills" should be returned.

Washington (AP) Discussion of possible Korean truce moves was expected today at a conference of the 16 United Nations countries whose troops are fighting there. The meeting, at the state depart- ment at 3 p.m. EDT, is one of a series of twice - weekly sessions. But added attention has been focused on today's conference by reports Britain's delegate has been instructed to seek a review of the Korean situation and to see what can be done to work out a possibie peace appeal to the Chinese Com- munists. Some officials indicated the meet- ing might revive consideration of an American - sponsored "declara- tion of aims" which might serve as the basis for any peace talks.

Police believe the thug is the same man who shot and killed gasoline station operator during & hold-up last week. Smith told police he picked up & hitch-hiker about midnight Sunday. He gave the rider a lift for some distance and the hitch-hiker them drew a gun and ordered him on. - The gunman finally ordered Smith out of the car and told him to lie down on his back with his hands behind his head.

City Council has twice previous- ly rejected the application of the| Conger Lehigh Coal Company for | 'permission to build a service station | at the corner of Rosehill Boule- | vard and King Street West. Last night, because of the fact that it | takes a two-thirds majority to res- | cind the motion, it held fast to its original intention. It was only this point of order however that gave the council decision the appearance of consistency as the vote was si to five in favor of reconsideration. On the first occasion when Rus- sell Humphreys, K.C. requested an audience with the municipal body to plead his client's case the coun- cil declined to hear him and: per- emptorily refused the application. They held to: their decision at an- other meeting when a letter was | read from Mr. Humphrey's office. | Meanwhile the question has been | further befogged by two letters!

The first said that the Board recommended that the application not be grani® ed and the second stated that th® word "not" in the first letter was a typographical error and that the Board's recommendation was that | it be granted. Last night Mr. Humphreys told councillors that there was no real objection to fy establishment there of a service station aside from the fact that there already were other stations on that particular intere section. That was reason in itself for granting the application as all parties should be treated alike -- that was a principal of democracy.
