It's i ve Careless Driver Fined $25, Costs Appearing in Magistrate's Court today on a charge of careless driv- ing as the result of an accident on No. 2A Highway on July 2, was Lorne MacMillan, 10 Elgin Street, Ajax, He pleaded not guilty, but was convicted and fined $25 and costs or 30 days. "Complainant in the case, Charles H. Bower, 35 Wolverleigh Boule- vard, Toronto, told the court that he mwas driving west on Queen Elizabeth Way about 7 o'clock on the night of the accident. He said that he had observed in his rear- vision mirror, accused's car weav- ing in and out of traffic behind him, and that when the McMillan- driven car passed him, going about 60 m.p.h., it clipped his left rear fender. On a question from Acting Crown Attorney R. D. Humphreys, K.C., witness said he had not ob- served the driver, but he had been able to catch his license number. * At his point Defence Attorney R. Conant asked what speed Bower was travelling? About 45, he an- swered - / "Did you know what make of car the man was driving?" asked Mr. Conant, "No," was the reply. "But I got his license number." ; The witness added that just after the incident another man had driven abreast of him and yelled a demand to know if Bower had gotten the man's number. OPP Constable C. D. Stanley testified that he had gone to accused's home and examined the car, finding scrapes along the fend- ers on the right side. Asked by Mr. Humphreys if they corresponded to marks on the Bower car, he declar- ed they did. He said accused had told him he didn't know how the marks had got there. MacMillan said he had been to the motor- cycle races in Oshawa, and had a few beers during the afternoon. On the witness stand, MacMillan assured the court that he didn't re- call striking anyone. "And you say you had these beers between 230 and 3 in the afternoon?" interjected the acting crown attorney. "No beers after the race to get the dust out of your throat, eh?" "No." "You picked up two soldiers and let them out at Ajax?" "Yes," ' "Did you see the Bower car at any time?" Defence Attorney Conant pointed ou that MacMillan struck the other car so. lightly that he hadn't real- ized he was hitting anyone, Magistrate R. P. Locke commend- ed Bower for pursuing the case, previous to registering a conviction.

With another full-dress bargain- ing session set for tomorrow, there were no signs that Premier Mo- hammed Mossadegh's government planned to soften its opposition to a British proposal to solve the squabble which closed the world's biggest refinery at Abadan.

Brown 275 Pacific Avenue, appeared in Magistrate's Court this morning on a charge of disobeying an order to pay his wife, Mrs. Hilda Brown of Oshawa, $10 a week toward the support of herself and their child. The Crown estimated that Brown was $180 in arrears of his payments, and Magistrate 'Locke ordered accused to pay $12 a week until an asses- |sed arrears of $50 was paid off, ent to commence Monday, iin 20. or go to jail for 30 days.

She told the court that she had been working for $40 a week, while someone cared for the child. Brown, on the witness stand, said he had not been working regularly since April, but previous to that time he had averaged $60 or $70 a week. Magistrate Locke stated that con- sidering the circumstances, after the arrears had been made up, the payment order would be varied to $5 a week, as the mother was evid- ently able to contribute her share to the care of the child. Inquiry Into Cage Scandal At New Stage New York (AP) -- District At- torney Frank Hogan calle press conference today on college basket- ball's biggest scandal amid re- ports that his inquiry was enter- ing a new phase. Hogan announced the conference last night shortly after a New York grand jury voted indictments against an unspecified number of persons, reported to have been in- volved in the rigging of Bradley University games. Details of the indictments were not made public, and Hogan said the true bills would be field at the same time he holds his press conference. Since the scandal first broke last January, 31 players from six United States colleges and a number of gamblers have been implicated. Five of these players, who came here voluntarily from the Bradley campus in Peoria, Il1., testified yes- terday before the grand jury that returned the indictments. They waived immunity. During the grand jury session, the players and 13 other witnesses were questioned. The five Bradley stars are Gene Nelchiorre, considered one of the game's best players; William Mann, George M. Chianadas, Aaron Peerce and Charles Grover. When Hogan first broke the Bradley phase of the scandal sever- al weeks ago, he said the players were offered $1500 in bribes to lose by seven points to Bowling Green in the 1949 national invitational tournament here. A last - minute field goal by a substitute not in the plot, Hogan said, ruined the betting coup by slicing the margin to five points, 82 - 77 for Boling Green. Bix persons have been held as material witnesses in this Bradley phase, and Hogan has been seeking Jack (Zip) West, 40, as the alleged master - mind bookmaker behind the betting coups. ' In addition to the Bradley play- ers, the scandal has involved five from Toledo University and 20 from New York schools -- City College, Manhattan, New York University and Long Island University. Chief Says Accused Used Bad Language Mickey Howe, no fixed address, was in Magistrate's Court this morning on a double charge of in- toxication and vagrancy. Chief of Police Owen D. Friend, bringing the charges, declared that Howe had used abusive language when picked up by the constable last night. Howe told the court he was working for the carnival operating in corinection with Oshawa Fair, and was therefore not a vagrant. He admitted he had been drinking. Magistrate R. P. Locke said the vagrancy charge 'would be with- drawn, but he would fine accused $10 and costs or 10 days on the charge of drunkenness. The Beaver was the first Sloan. ship on the coast of British Colum- bia, sent out from England in 1835. Business And Markets Business Spotlight By HAROLD MORRISON The death of one ideal only makes Canada the more ready to champion another. She was bitterly disappointed when the idealistic Havana char- ter and international trade organi- zation -- to promote free trade on a permanent, long-range basis -- died a reluctant death, mostly be- cause the United States congress did not ratify it. Now she is ready to launch a new idea -- to put a strong, per- manent foundation under the four- year-old general agreement on ta- riffs and trade, a pact by 34 coun- tries to increase the flow of inter- national trade by lowering tariffs and granting other trading conces- sions, The pact, known as GATT, was signed in Geneva in 1947, but it still has no permanent secretariat or managerial group, no adequate "police force' to make sure mem- bers abide by their agreements. Representatives meet once every three or four months but there is no one to carry on the day-to-day work. This is one argument likely to be advanced by Canada. But the real thinking behind the proposal to make a GATT secretariat a rea- lity that eventually GATT may be e a stsong, permanent trade instrument. Canada will bring 'up the pro- (3g posed secretariat idea at the next meeting of contracting parties in Geneva Sept. 17. There a contro- versial issue is expected to deve- lop which will place greater em- phasis on Canada's proposal. The United States in her drive to withdraw tariff congessions grant- ed to Communist countries, is go- ing to propose that the GATT mem- bership allow her to take the same action against Communist- controlled Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia is a member of the pact. There is some question as to what rights under the pact a nation has to withdraw concessions once granted. A permanent secretariat, manned by experts, Canadian of- ficials fell, might untangle such knets before they can cause dam- age to the pact.

Week In Jail Is Sentence For Drunk Driving Brought into Magistrate's Court this morning on a drunk driving charge was Walter H. Bushby of 45 Wilson Road North. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a week in jail and court costs or an additional seven days. As crown witness, P.C.

Differential In Wheat Price Causes Concern Toronto (CP) -- A. D.
