The case of the fabulous spy ring first was made public in Fe- bruary, 1949, when the U. 8S. Army released a 32,000-word report on the operation. Parts of that report were deleted for security reasons. It was written under Gen.

De Bernonville, who entered Can- ada illegally in 1946, was engaged in a legal battle against deporta- tion proceedings when he left | Montreal." He had sought to remain |in Canada on the grounds he was a political refugee, under sentence of death in France on charges of wartime collaboration with the Germans. De Bernonville denied the charges and said he had no chance to defend himself before a people's court which tried him in absentia. Perrault said the count had been offered a job in Brazil and prob- ably would not attempt to return to Canada where a final judgment on his deportation order is expected next month.

' Reuters news . agency reported from Tokyo that the Communists today termed the United Nations reply to the alleged violation of the Kaesong, neutral zone unsatis- factory and again asked for punish- ment of "those guilty." Red China's Peiping 'radio said today the killing of a Chinese sol- dier in the Kaesong neutral zone "will rouse still greater hatred of American imperialism among Kor- ean and Chinese peoples." The Reds formally charged the Chinese was killed in an ambush by United Nations troops. The U.N. command denied this; said it was las. Tuesday's Peip ing roadcast quoting the official Hsinhua New China news agency, said "he was murdered in American ambush." The broadcast quoted Maj.-Gen. Hsieh Fang, a ChineSe armistice delegate and merthber of the joint sub-committee, as saying the death of the soldier "will surely harden Chinese volunteers' determination to defend peace." Hours before the broadcast, the sub-committee--two allies and two Communists -- met in Kaesong for two hours and four minutes. More than half that time they spent poring over a map trying to agree on 'a military dividing line for a cease-fire. They scheduled another session for 11 am., Wednesday, 9 p.m. EDT, Tuesday. They made no report on progress. But the U.N. spokesman, Air Force Brig.-Gen. William P.

They tried to scare West Germans away from joining western defence and into a sell- out compromise with the east. Instead, McCloy reported, Ger- man support for western defence has increased, and the Commun- ists' chief propaganda agencies have been thoroughly discredited, rejected and even outlawed by an aroused West Germany. "It has become increasingly dif- ficult to peddle recognizable Com- munist: wares in Western Ger- ymany,'"" McCloy reported.

Pickering Man Will Lodge Claim | For Heavy Loss Killer dogs are leaving a blood-stained trail of havoe among pedigreed sheep at Pickering. Their nightly maraud- ing among flocks is also likely to land Pickering Township in financial difficulties, for one farmer is going to make a claim for his losses which will total at least $4,500 -- far more than the municipality has ever collected in dog tags. 2 NEW CASES POLIO HERE TOTAL NOW 7 Two more cases of poliomyelitis | were reported in Oshawa yesterday | bringing the total for the year so far up to seven cases, which is about average for a city of Oshawa's size. "If there are any more cases of polio here will take on the pro- portions of a mild outbreak," said Dr, A. F. Mackay, the Medical Offi- cer of Health, this morning. As a precautionary measure the Health Department has decided to | discontinue all immunization of | children at, the clinic' on Tuesday | afternoons and Saturday mornings. A public announcement will be made | when the immunization recommen- | ces. "That is only a precaution," stres- sed Dr. Mackay," and' only means | that we are playing safe for there is | no evidence whatsoever that the immunization does any harm during polio time." ~ The two latest cases were report- ed to be mild with no signs of para- lysis. Both patients were taken to Toronto Isolation Hospital. One of the cases was a 2Il-year-old man from the north end of the city and the other case was a Six- year-old girl from the south end. None of the seven cases in Oshawa this year has been fatal and prac- tically all have been very mild. 3 DEATHS IN TORONTO Toronto (CP) -- Three children have died here of poliomyelitis within the last 24 hours with one family losing its second member within two weeks to the disease. Shirley Howell, 15, Gordon Smith 12, both of Toronto, and Garry Young, 14, of Suburban Malton, died in hospital. Shirley's 10 - year - old sister, Claim Firms Arm Against Bushworkers Fort William (CP) -- A left-wing labor leader Monday charged that Ontario timber companies are secretly arming "private forces for use against peaceful bushworkers." The charge came from Bruce Magnuson, secretary of the Com- munist - dominated Canadian Union of Woodworkers, who issued a statement after a weekend meeting in Port Arthur with Ontario offi- cials of the union. He said he had asked Attorney General Porter for an -investiga- tion. D. A. Clark of Port Arthur, pres- ident of the Nipigon Lake Timber Company, termed the claim "frad- ulent and trumped up." The Woodworkers Union was formed when executive menbers of Local 2786, Lumber and Sawmill Workers, were suspended by the parent body, the United Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners BUSHWORKERS (Continuea on Page 5) Pursuir; a nightly, but unsuccess« ful, guard over his pedigreed flock of Shropshire sheep is Alec Gray, of Seventh Concession, Lot 28, Pick= ering Township. Within the last month he has lost at least 50 of the sheep to the killers which race into the fields, tear at the sheep's throat and then .disembowel them, Mr. Gray will not disclose the value of the sheep or the number that have been killed altogether but it is known that the claim against the township will .be at least $4,500. COME ONLY AT NIGHT "Every night I am up with my shot-gun," he told a Times-Gasette representative. "Last night I was on watch and I heard some dogs in the pens but it was too dark to be able to see to shoot. These dogs --I don't know if they -are strays or if they are let out--only 'come round here at night." Pickering's dog-catcher, Clifford Schwalm, is trying to help the wor- ried farmer but neither of them know who the dogs belong to, The; estimate that the dogs will trav 10 miles to kill a sheep once they have tasted blood and once they start they do not stop until they have cleaned out a whole field of sheep. LOST 10 IN ONE NIGHT About a month ago Mr. Gray lost 10 sheep in a single night. Those that are badly bitten have to be destroyed. Last week his losses were about 41 sheep and on Sun- day night alone he lost eight. At the start of the summer he had 100 sheep in one ifeld and now there are only 50 left. In another field there were 30 yearling pedi= gree sheep and at this morning's count 'there were only three. "I have been importing pedigreed Shropshires for 45 years and it is the first time that I've come across anything on. this scale of blood« shed," said Mr. Gray. ; Pickering Township does ree imburse farmers for such losses and it usually makes the payment out of the funds it receives from dog tag sales. The claim towbe made by. Mr. Gray is far beyond the fund's limits and special measures will have to be taken, Mr. Gray has not yet filed his claim but he will submit it shortly.
