Times-Gazette * SHOOTS WIFE TWO CHILDREN THEN HIMSELF New Hamburg, Ont. (CP) -- A triple murder and suicide drew an abrupt end to a long siege of do- mestic strife Saturday when a 39- year-old farmer fatally shot his wife and two children, then killed himself with the same .22 calibre rifle. . A bread delivery driver making his rural rounds discovered the bodies of Wilbert Gofton, his 35- year-old wife, Clara, a son, Cecil, 7, and a daughter, Dolores, 5.

Interrupted while col- lecting his expense account, che re- porter had only one flight of stairs to walk down to cover the "hot" news--a small fire in the press room of the newspaper. Heat in. the metal melting pot where thc rotary press plates are produced ignited oil in some metal. Fumes went up to the exhaust fan which started to issue flames. The draught pipe was glowing red-hot when the firemen arrived. Pressmen turned extinguishers on the fan before firemen got working | with a hand-pump to cool the pipe and machine. Production of the newspaper went on as usual, the firemen, usually bothered by jour- nalists who want to know where fires are, went back to the station and the reporter returned to the traditional newspaper art of filling in his expense sheet. Mr. Daley made it clear in his Statement when he said, "I see no difficulty for the company and the union to dispose of economic is- | sues, but I recognize the question of the check-off is the stumbling block." Since the failure of the Labor | Department to affect a settlement in the strike situation at Timmins, | Ontario labor bodies are renewing | their appeals to the provincial gov- ernment to legislate in favor of union security. Following the unsuccessful me- diation of the Hollinger strike, C. H. Millard, Canadian director of the United Steelworkers of America CIO, of which Holinger local 4305 is a part, announced that he would introduce special labor legislation guaranteeing union security to set- tle the Hollinger dispute at the next session of the legislature. In reply to that, the Ontario La- bor Minister announced that he was opposed to introducing such Air Cadets Receive Private Pilot's Licenses Jubilant over the fact that they have just passed their tests for their °rivate Pilot's Licences, nine of the 12 air cadets posed for this picture at the Oshawa Airport.

Without disclosing the source of its information, Borba -- the voice of Premier Tito's government -- said the arrest was part of a purge of all Bulgarians opposing Russian domination. The front-page article described Trinski as a veteran Communist and long - time advocate of Yugo- slav-Bulgarian cooperation.

As they reached this understanding al- lied warplanes smashed at the Red Korean capital of Pyongyang in one of the most determined air as- saults of the war. The negotiators remained dead- locked on the problem of a buffer zone to separate the opposing ar- mies if and when a cease - fire agreement is reached.

(CP) -- Unsuccessful efforts were made during the weekend to settle a strike of bus drivers in this city across the Ot- tawa river from the nation's capi- tal. The strike began Friday. At a meeting Saturday, the Hull City Transport Company asked the 72 striking bus drivers to return to work for a month at present wages, pending negotiation of a new contract. The executive of the National Catholic Syndicate, repre- senting the drivers, rejected the offer. The drivers now receive 65 cents an hour. The bus drivers originally asked for an increase of 35 cents an hour to $1 an hour. Meantime, Louis Brisson, gen- eral manager of the company, said he was appealing to all drivers to turn in to the bank some $4000 they omitted to return on bring- DRIVERS (Continued on page 2) High Level Talks May Yet Produce Oil Agreement London (AP)--Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison an- nounced today Britain will send a cabinet mission to Tehran to discuss an oil settlement with Iran.

H. Millard, national director of the union, said a t a rally of 12000 here last night. Workers at Hollinger mines have been on strike since July 9 over wages and union security." Main point of disagreement is the ques- tion of check -off of dues which the company refuses. Mr. Millard said the United Steel Workers of America "will make sure they (the striking miners) are taken to jobs providing decent wages and union security." he add- ed: "We are not going to let our i : : | members stay in Timmins and rot. There are many places where it is more profitable for a man to work than in Hollinger mine for 90 cents." FIVE PERISH AS FERRY TIPS NEAR SHORE Edmundstion, N. B, (CP) -- At least five persons lost their lives in a scene of watery panic yes- terday when a hand-operated cable ferry overturned and sank on Lake Caron. Swift, capable action by specta- tors and oarsmen at a regatta saved many lives among the ap- proximately 50 men, women and children hurled into the water. The dead . were identified as: Guy St. Pierre, 18; Armand Na- deau, 20; Robert Levesque, 13; Martin Corbin, 8, all of Edmund- ston, and Clifford Fongemi, 17, of Frenchville, Me. All persons reported missing earlier have been accounted for, RCMP said. A search of®he small lake, 20 miles from here, was sus- pended after five bodies were re- covered. Police said the search will not be resumed unless others were reported missing. Some 1500 spectators were watch- ing when the spill occurred. hey had gathered for the regatta, spor sored by the Madawaska Fish and Game Club, owners of the lake. Witnesses quoted one of two fer- rymen as saying he warned that too many were getting on the boat. But they disregarded him and some 50 jammed on to the craft which normally carries between 25 and 30 passengers. The ferry was travelling about 250 feet from a small island to the lake shore. Witnesses said the pas- sengers began hauling on the cable. Within 15 feet of the shore, some changed thelr positions in the boat. This brought it to a halt, Then the cable snapped and the craft 5 DROWNED (Continued on page 2) came about as a result of consolu- tations with Averell Harriman, President Truman's envoy now in London. Morrison' said there are sti some points to be cleared up be- fore the mission can leave for the Iranian capital. A United States embassy spokes- man announced Harriman intends flying back to Tehran by tonight. Morrison said the British gov ment and the Anglo - Iranian Company 'have been ready at every stage to meet the legitimate aspirations of the Persian (Iran- ian) people." "We have every sympathy with the natural desire of the Persian people to control their own mineral resources,' he said. While Britain is ready to accept the principle of nationalization, Morrison explained, she will not accept a one-sided violation of an agreement. "We are entering a new era in the development of middle eastern oil." Morrison said. Dispatch of a mission headed by a cabinet minister was reported agreed to by Iran as a basis for reopening discussions over nation- alization of the Anglo-Iran Oil Com- pany's $1,400,000,000 properties.

(CP) -- Sena- tor Robert Taft (Rep. O.) said last night the United States should undertake with the British Empire the control of the sea and air throughout the world. Speaking at Republican party re- dedication program, Taft said the U. 8. now is undertaking "more than our capacity." He said that if the United States can gain control of the sea and air, "this country will be safe, and air throughout the world is within our capacity, and that we should, therefore, undertake to secure that control in cooperation with the Bri- tish Empire." Taft said he believes prepara- tion in time of peace for immedi- ate land warfare against Russia 'on any large scale on the con- tinent of Europe and the continent of Asia" is beyond the capacity of the U.S. '""We can assist those who are defending themselves, but we cannot undertake the job ourselves or do anything unless the bulk of the defence is furnished by the na- tions who are directly concerned."

One More Try May Include Seaway Plan In Foreign Aid Estimates Washington (AP)-- The oft - re- jected St. Lawrence seaway project bobbed up again Saturday, this time as a possible rider on the $8,500,000,000 foreign aid authoriza- tion bill, Senators Blair Moody (Dem- Mich.) and George Aiken (Rep. Vt.) said they will attempt to inf sert the seaway and power devel- opment project into the foreign aid bill. They contend that is a, proper place for it and its inclusion might get the proposal before the House of Representatives and Senate -- instead of having it die in com- mittee, The House public works commit- tee voted 15 to 12 this week to table the joint United States-Canada St.. Lawrence project, ending another chapter in the 20-year fight. Aiken said that if the world si- tuation "is as bad as they tell us it is, then the St. ] awrence is more vital to this cour ry and the free nations of the world than most of the items in the foreign aid bill. Alken said the cost estimates of 4 the St. Lawrence which opponents describe as staggering and impos sible, should be no obstacle now. He said figures cited are for the completed project which are un- real. He said navigation and power can be developed for relatively small sums and that deeper lateral channels and other works can be spread over 20 years. Meanwhile President Truman put in a plug for the seaway and power project during a speech at Detroit's celebration of its 2§0th anniversary, saying: "They say we can't afford dams and reservoirs, they say we can't afford the St. Lawrence seaway to open the Great Lakes to ocean shipping and bring new iron ore to the steel mills of the middle west. .. There never was a project in the history of the country more badly needed than the St. Lawrence sea- way." Moody said the seaway would be justified as a means of boosting steel production needed for defence and for foreign military aid.
