Two Brothers Take Top Racing Honors In Annual Derby Two brothers last night shared the honors for top speed in the Oshawa Racing Car Derby held at Gibbs Street. John | and Fred Chasczewski, of 481 Ritson Road South, went | home with two large silver cups -- one for the juniors and | one for the seniors. Speeding through the dusk John, who is 14 years old and weighs 131 lbs., beat his racing rival, Bob Jackson, by one-fifth of a second. All day they had been duelling, with Chasczewski narrowly taking the dis- tance prize. i It was definitely a day out for the Girl Injured In Escape Bid Sudbury (CP) -- Condition of Helen Simonen, 20, who fell 12 feet from a ledge outside the Sudbury courthouse in an escape bid from the provincial police office Tuesday night, was described as fair today by hospital officials. X - rays revealed no skull frac- ture as was at first feared. She has a fractured hip and head in- juries. Miss Simonen is charged with vagrancy pending further po- lice investigation. Police said the girl, picked up for questioning, was left alone in a second - storey office. She raised a window, climbed out and dangled by her fingers from a ledge. Realizing she was 12 feet from the ground, the girl screamed for help. A constable was inches away | when she dropped to the ground from exhaustion. 9 Chasczewski family. After nearly 11 hours of continuous racing: the two crash-helmeted brothers -- popular favorites with the large crowd lin- ing the track -- were led off to the special dinner at the Genosha Hotel to receive their prizes. John was winner for the second year running of the coveted Ontario: Motor Sales ophy. Grinning, and surrounded by a crowd of youthful admirers, John told a Times-Gazette reporter last night that he was "not sure" what he was going to do for next year's Derby. "Boy, it feels good to win but this has been a hard day's racing", said John, while. young Fred, who had already collected two other prizes, had this to. say: "I'm rag hot" -- so he took his helmet off. Between them the two brothers won both trophies, and a total of $110 in cheques. They came in first in the distance runs and in the speed races, but Fred had a slight edge over his elder brother.

S. AUGHLIN GREATES $1,000,000 FOUNDATION Princess and Consort To Spend 33 Days On All-Canadian Tour CHINESE REL BAN CATHOLIC ORGANIZATION Hong Kdug (AP) -- The Chinese Communists have officially de- nounced the Roman Catholic church's "Legion of Mary" and called for suppression of the or- ganization. The Peiping People's Daily, of- ficial party organ, announced the suppression movement already has started in Tientsin, North China. It is the first time the Reds, by order, have actually outlawed any part of the church. Catholics say it is a short step from outlawing a church subsidiary to outlawing the church itself. How- ever, they do not think the Reds are quite ready for the latter step. The People's Daily blasted the Legion as "a secret, reactionary and terroristic organization in the Catholic church." Actually, the Legion of Mary is an organization among the laity which seeks converts to Catholi- cism. » The People's Daily said the Le- gion must be suppressed for the "protection of the pure and law- abiding Catholics" meaning Catholics who have swung away CATHOLICS BANNED (Continued on Page 2) SEAWAY PLAN KILLED AGAIN Washington (AP)-- An attempt to attach the controversial St. Law- rence seaway proposal to the $8.- 500,000,000 foreign aid bill failed late Wednesday in the House of Representatives foreign affairs committee. ' Chairman James P. Richards (Dem. 8. C.) ruled it was not "germane" that it was not within the intent of the foreign aid measure. Reps. Clement Zablocki (Dem. Wis.) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (Dem. Lib.-N. Y.) offered the pro- posal as a rider during the closed committee session. Richards declined to discuss the action afterwards with a reporter on the grounds that it was a closed session and his hands were tied. But it was learned from other sources that he ruled that it was not germane after a lengthy argu- ment on the point. In addition to Zablocki and Roose velt, Rep. Walter Judd (Rep. Minn.) also argued that the pro- posal to authorize the $818 million seaway and power project was pro- perly before the committee in that it dealt with a treaty with Canada. When Richards ruled that it was out of order there was no attempt to over-rule the decision. § Canada. REDS REQUEST RESUMPTION OF PARLEY By OLEN CLEMENTS Tokyo (AP) -- Communist com- manders in Korea asked Gen. Mat- thew B. Ridgway tonight to resume cease - fire talks. In a reply to a message Ridgway sent Tuesday, they repeated pledges they would observe the agreement neutralizing the Kae- song armistice site. The Communist leaders told Ridgway everything would be all right '"'as long as you have no in- tention of creating incidents." Almost simultaneously with this statement the Reds filed a new complaint that the allies had violat- ed the neutrality agreements. It was an open Red violation of the. neutrality .zone pact that led to a breakdown in armistice nego- tiations.

There was no paraly- sis in the case and today the attack was described as "fortunately, very slight." + The little boy took sick yesterday and medical attention disclosed the fact that he was suffering from the disease. He has not been removed from the home by his physician. There are two other youngsters in Mr. Fowlie's family, both of them boys under 12 years of age, Walter and George.

Edward Gallie, famed Canadian surgeon, who before his retirement was chief surgeon at Toronto Gen- eral Hospital, professor of surgery and later dean Of the University of Toronto medical school. Dr, Gallie approached Mr. McLaughlin who enthusiastically took up the project. HOPE TO HALT EXODUS Mr. McLaughlin has directed that this assistance be made avail- able to applicants who have come pleted their . undergraduate and graduate training and who have been selected for staff appointment by their own or some other Cana- dian medical school.

The incident was said to have happened between Kaesong, site of cease-fire talks, and Pyongyang, the Red Korean capital. Allied commanders immediately raised the question of whether Reds might be using the white flag carried by truce team trucks for purposes "other than' intended. There were no armistice negotia- tions Tuesday. But Red radios have said the Communist delega~ tion went to Kaesong anyway, ex= pecting the United Nations nego- tiators to arrive. U. N. headquarters said the Reds failed properly to notify the allies of the route the truck would travel and the time of its journey. Vice- Admiral C. Turner Joy, chief U, TRUCE FLAG (Continued on rage 2) Foresee Propaganda War Expect Jap Treaty Approval Obstruction Washington (AP)-- United States officials expressed confidence to- day that a Japanese peace treaty will be signed at San Francisco next month despite expected strong Russian opposition. State Secretary . Dean. Acheson told a press conference yesterday he was sure the Kremlin 'would wage a propaganda campaign aim- ed at disrupting the treaty confer- ence scheduled to open Sept. 4. However, other officials were un- able to foresee any action. the So- viets might reasonably be expect- ed to take which could succeed in disrupting the session. Acheson's prediction grew out of a discussion-of Soviet President Ni- kilai Shvernik's letter to President Truman earlier this week. Res- ponding to a letter President Tru- man had written him, Shvernik advocated a five - power 'peace pact' which would include Red China. Acheson ohabienged the Soviets to back up their avowed interest in peace objecfives with deeds. He suggested they might start by working for peace in the United Nations. President Truman has an oppor- tunity at his press conference to- day (4 p.m.,, EDT) to give his views on Shvernik's letter. He is expected to take substantially the same line which Acheson took, that is to treat it as Russian propa- ganda devoid of any hint of change in real Soviet policy. The treaty, which would restore Japan's independence and end the occupation, is the principal pact of three international arrangements worked out by Washington in con- sultation with other Pacific powers. The other two agreements are a security treaty among the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and a separate agreemen' with Ja- pan which will permit American armed forces to remai' om Japa~ nese territory
