Announcement of the arrests came on the heels of press reports that a plot was afoot to assassinate Pre- The army ministry said last night the five officers were ar- rested in connection with an inves- tigation of military personnel be- lieved involved in "a plan to create confusion and disrupt public order. The probe, it said, "had been dis- closed in the newspapers." All week pro-government papers have been running banner head- lines about an alleged plot to topple the government and slay Peron, his wife and other high officials. Unconfirmed reports have circu- lated recently that 55 young officer have been questioned in connection with the supposed plot. The ministry said the five men were detained "in order to deter- mine the responsibility of military personnel" in the reported . plot, which the semi-official newspaper Democracia charged was financed by "Wall Street capitalists." The paper further charged that "some foreign news agencies," as well as newspapers abroad, had joined in the plot against the Peron regime.

FORD OFFICIAL IN PLANE LOST OVER JUNGLE Dakar, French West Africa (AP) -- Search' was resumed at dawn today for a New York-bound Pan- American constellation with 40 per- sons aboard which vanished into the steaming Arican jungle early yesterday. French, American and Liberian rescue planes flew low over the trackless waste as native tribes- men hacked their way along cro- codile-infested streams into the rain-soaked bush. They reported no trace of the four-engined giant plane which dis- appeared while heading for an emergency landing at Roberts field, Liberia, during a tropical drizzle. The pilot had radioed that the radio beam to his next sche- duled stop, Dakar, had blacked out and he was turning to the Liberian airport. He asked for landing instructions and since that request nothing has been heard. The plane was on a regular flight fiom Johannesburg, South Africa, to New York.

"One meeting was held with management since the suspen- sion with a view to a settlement by negotiation, but at that time the company's attitude did not make it possible to end the lock out in acress the board reason- ing," Mr. Ashton said.

BARNARD Tokyo-- (AP) -- Allied troops and Chinese Communists fought sav- agely with bayonets and hand grenades today for commanding ground in the old Communist "Iron Triangle" of North Korea. High ground exchanged hands five times. At nightfall, the Allies were dug in triumphantly on the hill. The Reds pulled back, possibly to re- group for a new blow. U.N. infantrymen pushed into the area south of the triangle apex of Pyonggang early Saturday in an attempt to throw off balance an expected Red smash about Monday, the war's first anniversary. They advanced steadily all morn- ing through constant fire. The Allies hurled a morning at- tack on the hill in a broiling sun. U.N. troops won their objective at bayonet point by mid-afternoon. Thirty minutes later the Chinese struck back. The Allies backed down the south slope of the 500-foot hill, regrouped at the base and stormed to its summit again. With bugles blowing, the Reds were back again before the Allies had time to consolidate their posi- tions. ! Once more tHe Allies fell back down the slope but they were on top again at darkness, : Allied artillery and warplanes hammered the rear slope of the hill.' KOREA (Continued on Page 5) 3 CHILDREN BROUGHTBACK BY MOTHER Montreal (CP) -- Mrs. Anne Parker returned to Canada last night with her three children whose alleged abduction to South America ended when the mother 'just went over and got them." Their plane touched down at Dorval airport shortly before mid- night, ending: a trip to and from Lima, Peru. The last lap of the flight was from New York to Montreal. Mrs. Parker, a petite brunette, flew from Montreal six weeks ago to "rescue" her children from her former husband, Joseph Bailey, 45, against whom a warrant has been sworn out charging him with ab- ducting the two boys and kidnap- ping the girl May 8. Extradition proceedings have been started to return Bailey from "Lima for trial. Bailey, who planned to settle in Lima with his present wife, Evelyn Blauveldt of Yar- mouth, N. S., reported to police there that the children disappeared after being sent on an errand. More than 7,000 students from overseas, about half from the Brit- ish Commonwealth, annually attend British colleges. Toronto (CP) -- Everyone from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to the Anglican bishop of Toronto has tried to settle the tangled af- fairs of St. Barnabas church. They are no nearer a solution now than they were eight years ago. A dispute between two factions in the east end church, which has an average Sunday attendance of 400, began in 1943, when the rec- |tor, Rev. H. W. Garbutt, was ap- | pointed on his return from 'seven years as a missionary in Nigeria. It has developed into a full-fledged quarrel with charges of 'improper behavior," improper spiritual be- havior and communism tossed about. A diocese commission on differences is trying to settle things DISMISSED CURATE Rumblings of dissension in the church came into the open in 1944 when a curate was dismissed by Mr, Garbutt for "improper con- duct.' "In 1946, another curate who the rector said was connected with "'communistically - minded or- ganizations," resigned. | But the blowup came last Janu- (ary when William Funk was elect- Toronto Parish Asks Canterbury to Step In To Settle Old Dispute ed people's warden, making him a member of the three man church council with the rectdr and rector's warden. By a vote of 600 to 18, the vestry asked Mr. Funk to resign, alleging that he was not a church member. He refused. Charges put before the Toronto diocese commission on differences, made up of leading clerics, by Rev. A. R. Beverley, bishop of To- ronto, were that: The rector had "admonished" eight parishioners for creating dis- sention; improperly had requested Mr. Funk's resignation and had told the congregation it could not attend communion until the '"'ma- lice and hatred" in the parish were eliminated. KECTOR UPHELD The commission last May 14 up- held the rector and requested Mr. Funk's resignation. It also asked Mr. Garbutt to permit his flock to take communion, Mr, Funk re- fused to resign. There the matter rests pending "% PARISH ASKS - (Continued on Page § DARY DENIES MILK COST CUT TO TEN CENTS Officials of the strike-bound Osh- awa Dairy Limited denied' today that the firm had cut its milk price to 10 cents a quart, They blamed a practical joker for a sign advertising the new, reduced price which appeared on the window of their store. Last night a sign on the dairy's store window advertis- ed milk at 10 cents. Company offi- cials removed it today. They said it had been put on the outside of the window, obscuring the com- pany's own sign, advertising the price as 17 cents. The prices "eing charged by the dairy are still 17 cents for cash and carry and 16 cents wholesale. As the strike entered its ninth day, a statement was issued to Osh- awa milk consumers by the Oshawa Milk Producers' Association in which it was stated that, due to the fact the strike was called 'without warning, the majority of the pro- | ducers had no alternative but to DAIRY DENIES (Continued on Page 2) | Ford Workers Will Return After Break Windsor (CP)--All employees of the Windsor plant of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, will return to work July 3, after the shutdown for annual inventory and observance of the Dominion Holi- day. No adjustment of production schedules will take place until July 19. Rhys M. Sale, Ford president, said that layoffs will be made in strict accordance with seniority pro- visions by the union-company agree- ment, and that it will take all of next week and part of the follow- ing week to work out who will be affected. "One of the principal reasons for the delay in changing the produc- tion schedule is that a partial ans- wer has been found to the big prob- lem encountered by dealers in [fin- ancing the purchase of stocks -of new cars and trucks," Mr, Sale said. "We are taking a little time to see how things will work out." Of a total of 11,200 hourly-rated employees in the Windsor plant, §,- 800 will be at work next June 25, and 5,100 the next day--Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, virtually the entire plant will be shut down to enable a crew of about 1,000 employees to carrv out the annual task of taking inven- tory. Domestic car and truck produc- tion will be halted June 25, 26, but operations on service parts and on the production of completely knock- ed-down vehicles for export will continue on both days, > 2Dead,3Hurt In Collision Sarnia.

Federal mediators announced "complete agreement' between some 40 shipping companies and the CIO National Maritime Union late alst night after day-long ne- gotiations. The conciliators then expressed hopes the same companies would settle with the American Radio Association (CIO) and the Ntaional Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso- ciation (CIO) at meetings today. Joseph Curran, NMU president, said he expected the agreement -{ for his union would set the pattern for the two smaller unions. Curran said NMU operations would be back to normal by mid- night tonight. But whether Ameri- can-flag ships resume sailings de- pends largely on the radionmen. Maritime law forbids vessels to sail without a radioman. U.S. Seamen Settle Strike But Radiomen, Engineers Have Not Agreed On Terms The seven-day tie-up by the 52,- 000-member NMU affected or threatened some 650 ships operat- ing out of Atlantic and gulf coast ports. Under the new two-year NMU contract, with its provisions retro- active to last Saturday, the union won an immediate 44-hour work- week at sea to be cut to 40 hours Dec. 16. Previously, seamen work- ed. 48 hours at sea. An eight-per cent across-th e- board wage increase was granted the NMU which had asked a 25- per cent raise. Old pay scales ranged from $213.79 to $315.35 & month. In San Francisco, new labor troubles prevented the scheduled sailing early today of the luxury lner, Lurline, for Honolulu. The radiomen's strike had delayed the original departure. _ Rioting on the pier between NMU seamen and rival union members caused the new delay. The rioting had no apparent connection with the radiomen's strike,
