The latest United Nations report on the world-wide roundup of drug peddlers shows they're a pretty dumb lot. Law enforcement officers waging a continuing battle against narco- tics vendors report few new de- vices in attempts to outwit them. The report covers information passed on to the U.N. during March and April this year, listing more than 200 drug seizures and arrests for several months preced- ing that period. It may be that drugs get through by means that customs and nar- cotics squad officers haven't tumbled to. Their reports, of course, can't show them yet. But rubber sacks inside camel stomachs, secret compartments-in automobiles, trucks, jeeps and ship cabins, or hiding places in bi- cycle tires are getting to be old stuff to the men fighting the nar- cotics evil. The only new touch in the report was from Burma where a truck driver was halted with a load of '40 bags of garlic. Inside two bags + |were a total of 41 pounds of raw opium. Most seizures were from people who looked like ordinary peasants or villagers, carrying the drug hid- den in a corner of a basket or bag of garden produce. The Egyptian government told of a camel caravan halted by inspec- tors. A metal detector showed no trace of metal boxes in the ani- mals' stomach. A few days after- ward, one of the camels expelled a rubber container. The camels were slaughtered. In their stomachs were found 83 more rub- ber containers with a total of 70 pounds of raw opium. Customs agents have found drugs hidden in pipes of ships, in a radio-phonograph and in exhaust silencers. Some dope smugglers in the east even put labels and trade marks on their packages. The Egyptians tell of picking up a fellow on the west bank of the Suez Canal. The search produced several packages of hashish.

Officers of the independent union telegraphed their seizure request to President Truman early today. The announcement xx picking up, second para and eliminating third para which superseded. The announcement came a few minutes after mediation talks in Washi! n broke up after more than 12 hours of continuous peace talks. The union said it asked presiden- tial action "to end the strike sche- duled to begin this morning and to stabilize conditions in the indu- stry." The TUMMSW said it wired the president a request to "use his good offices" to secure acceptance of a wage and contract settlement proposed by Cyrus Ching, director of the federal mediation and con- ciliation service. A Smelter Workers' statement re- ported that the proposal was made at a Washington meeting aimed at averting a strike by it and AFL unions at the Kennecott Copper Company in Utah. The terms of the government peace offer, éxpected to set a pat- tern for averting the strike or settl- ing it, were disclosed for the first time by the union. The Smelter Workers said Ching proposed wage increases averaging 16 cents an hour and a pension plan cosing about 42 cents an hour. In Washington, mediation service officials said the meeting broke up after Kennecott officials turned dawn the government peace offer. BRITISH COLONY Sarawak, a British colony on the island of Borneo, has an area of 50,000 square miles and a popula- tion of $540,000. May Get Tough (Continued from page 1) peace treaty is disposed of. That pact would provide new legal basis for keeping o¥ troops in Japan for its defence. At least 46 countries are ex- pected by American diplomats to approve the peace pact despite Russia's thréats. Only Burma and Yugoslavia so far have joined In- dia in refusing to sign. State Department officials said they are convinced the timing and nature of India's criticisms were not set to give added punch to Mos- Sows expected propaganda offen- sive. Rather, they attributed it to a misguided effort by Nehru to steer a neutral course in the east - west conflict and emerge as leader of the Asiatic democracies. These officials indicated the State Department intends to substitute tougher diplomatic tactics for the patience it has displayed in dealing with Nehru so far. Nehru's refusal to sign the Ame- rican - British sponsored treaty, they said, in effect constitutes a blanket indictment of American policy throughout the Far East. This clearly calls for a re-exa- mination of past American policies to determine what can be done to make India and other southeast Asia countries understand basic American aims more correctly. In rejecting its conference invi- tation, India assailed the final treaty draft because it: 1. Fails to turn over Formosa to Communist China. 2. Does not confirm Russia's pre- sent hold on the Kurile islands and southern Sakhalin. 3. Gives the United States trusteeship control of the Ryukyu and 'Bonin islands instead of re- turning them to Japan. 4. Allows American occupation forces to stay on in Japan. The treaty draft as written, India concluded, contains the 'seeds of a new dispute" in the Far East, and at the same time fails to re- store Japan to a position of 'honor equality and contentment among the community of free nations." Answering these criticisms, the State Department said the Japan- ese government and people want American military protection in and around Japan, lioness on the package. Another smuggler's brand had printed on the package: '"'Extra fine, excel- lent, beware of forgery."

Charge Pal With Murder At Dresden Dresdent, Ont. -- (CP) -- A man who promised to help pdlice "get the man who murdered my buddy"' was charged yesterday with mur- der in the strangulation - slaying of Grant Wallace, 37,.his cousin. Lyle Wallace, 33, was taken into custody 'at the home of a sister on Ontario town. He will appear be- fore Magistrate 1. B. Craig today in Chatham, 15 miles south of here. "~The body of Grant Wallace, 37- year - old Second World War veter- an, was recovered 10 days ago from the Sydenham river. His head bore a mysterious bump. An that he had died violently and a second autopsy showed he had been strangled. Three police officers launched an investigation that inclyded quesiton- ing of more than a score of il trict residents. One theory on which they ore reported working at the outset was that Wallace had been dead 24 hours before he was thrown into the river. As the inquiry got under way, Lyle Wallace told reporters he would help police in every way in their efforts to find the slayer. Wallace's body was found stripped to the waist and standing upright near the middle of the river half a mile west of this east Kent county community. The arms were bent and the fists closed and only the top of the head was above water when two boys, in a boat spied it. Police said at the time that Lyle Wallace apparently was the last person to see his cousin alive. Grant Wallace, a widower with five children, was said to have left his own home on the western limits of Dresden about 8 or 9 p.m. Aug. 14, He is reported to have gone to a Dresden hotel, where he met Lyle Wallace and two other men. At midnight he left the hotel with Lyle and one of the other men and went to Lyle's shanty. Lyle later told police that Grant left the shanty about 2:30 a.m: Police said that Lyle quit his job Aug. 15 and, with another man, took a taxicab to Chatham to search for Grant. Insp. Wilford Franks of the On- tario Provincial Police yesterday ordered Lyle Wallace's arrest after further questioning of a Windsor witness, said to be one of three men seen with Grant Wallace the night of the slaying. The inspector declined to speculate on a motive for the slaying. Court Martial (Continued from page 1) I have reason to believe threw that grenade." Blank replied, "If would be hard for me to tell." Botting said, "In that case, I assume you were there." Blank answered, 'Oh, all right." Defence officer-Hitchins objected that no statement of the accused could be accepted until it was proved Blank had made the admis- sion voluntarily without any stress or strain. Under cross - examination, Bot- ting said the interrogation was held in the middle of the night, that Blank was handcuffed and that he had not at that time been warned that anything he said might be used against him in court. Pte. J. C. Deitzer of the PPCLI described a drinking party at the rest camp the night of March 17. After it two British soldiers and five Canadians went by jeep to the Je nliouss where the killing occur- red. He said they were supposed to be going to a house of ill fame known to one of the British sol- diers. Deitzer said he did not see the room where the hand grenade went off. Nor did he see anyone throw it or fire a weapon, he said. He said he '"'could not remember clearly' what was sald in the jeep on the way back to the rest camp. He added he did not actually hear Blank say he had thrown a grenade, though he did later hear him denying it. Pte. B. T. Hegan, the next wit- ness, was reprimanded by Col. W. C. Dick of Montreal, court presid- ent, for the way he gave evidence. Some of his answers were inaud- ible. Dick said he believed Hegan was withholding evidence and not telling the court all he knew about the affair. Hegan testified he looked into a room in the farmhouse and saw a Korean girl wrestling with a sol- dier. The girl was crying, Hegan sald, and he "got scared" and said "let's get out." He said he heard no rifle shots and could not recall any of the con- versation during the return trip to camp. The court then adjourned un- til tomorrow. Deitzer said he was outside the Korean house when the fatal ex- plosion occurred. He said that when Blank and some other Canadian and British soldiers came out of the house, he thought he heard someone ask Blank why he threw the grenade. He said Blank replied something to effect that he, thought the men in the room were Communists. The same question was asked again later, Deitzer said, and this time Blank denied throwing the you Steals Detailed Plans Of 15 Ontario Banks Toronto (CP) -- Detailed plans of the arrangement of vaults and 'strongboxes in 15 Ontario banks may be in the hands of the person who stole a late - model maroon panel truck here Saturday night. The truck's owner works for a Montreal electrical company that instals alarms and wiring systems in banks and he used the blue- prints of the bank interiors in his work. However, police say they do | not think the thief took the y to get the blue prints, i The Dominion Bank. A. C. ASHFORTH " at a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of The Dominion Bank A. C. Ashforth, General Manager of the Bank, was elected a Vice- President and Director. Economic War (Continued from page 1) by order - in - council under the federal export and import permits act, also will act as a certificate of good faith by Canada in order- ing strategic goods from other countries, the department said. For example, Canada, before exporting essential materials and metals to European points, re- quires a certificate by the govern- ments of those countries that the exports will not be reshipped to Russia or a Communist satellite country. Canada, under the new regula- tions, will in turn give European countries the same certificate that the goods will not be transshipped. A trade official emphasized that some action under the import re- gulations may be taken soon on a "few goods." This will not affect imports from democratic coun- tries. Import controls to offset a deficit in trade -- which has reached $340 million in the first six months of 1951 from $5 million in the first half of 1950 -- was con- templated by the department. Trade Minister Howe, however, said in an interview that import controls against United States goods -- covering 65 per cent of Canada's spending,on foreign goods --would not be taken. Officials had estimated that if the flow of American goods were cut down, it might mean scarcities in Canada and push the cost - of- living higher. Tightening up on exports of stra- tegic goods, the department made these orders: 1. Exporters must have documen- tary evidence to prove that the ultimate destination of the ship- ment is in accordance with their application to the department. 2. If there is any doubt, or where the final market for the goods can- not be ascertained, then no export licence will be granted. 3. No shipments may leave Can- ada in the name of a foreign ex- porter. Shipments must be made by a Canadian resident and the applicant must actually be the shipper of the goods. 4. All previous exemptions to the regulations are cancelled. Hence- forth permission will have to be obtained to cover shipments to government offices outside the country, casual gifts and personal effects. All shipping documents will un- dergo more detailed customs scrutiny. All customs officials, both in Canada and trans-shipping coun- tries, will be required to make sure all documents concerned with a shipment agree and contain com- plete information before clearance is granted.

In Montreal, Brian Wattier, 22, was killed in a motorcycle acci- dent; Gertrude Chartrand, 18 months, was killed when her father's car collided with a truck and Richard Durand, 11, died of injuries suffered when he fell down a flight of stairs. All three persons came from Montreal. Fernand Robert, 21, of Beauport, Que., died in an automobile acci- dent on the island of Orleans and Robert Forcier, 39, was killed when the automobile he was driving went out of control and smashed into a tree near Three Rivers. In the Maritimes, Mrs, Walter Jensen, 25, was fatally injured near Plaster Rock, N.B., when a door of her husband's truck opened on a curve and she was thrown to the road. , : LET'S BE PALS SAY CHINESE T0 CANUCKS | .By BILL BOSS West-Central Sector, Korea (CP) --A group of Chinese Tuesday ine vited a Canadian patrol to call & the battle lines. The invitation was not accepted. _ The patrolling Canadians, a Korean woman civilian delivered a letter from eight Chinese fantrymen, were ordered not to let "| the message interfere with their assignment. The letter, written in plain paper and sent in a glazed yellow enve- lope, was sent, back to headquart- ers. It surprised high army of- ficers. (The Associated Press reported yesterday that the Chinese have sent other notes in similar vein to United Nations troops. It said pos- sibly the notes are aimed at break= ing down morale and leading U.N, troops to relax their vigilance.) The message suggested that ca~ sualties could be avoided on both sides by ceasing hostili pending completion of the Kaesong talks which have been going on for a month. It told the Canadians that, de- spite the peace talks, "still you are forced to be here carrying on this war, to do every day such sen- seless bloody affairs." Every mo- ment, it said, 'you have a danger of getting killed if unfortunate, then you will never be able to see your loved ones. \ "We are willing to meet you se that there may be something good for peaceful settlement of Korean problems and make the obstinacy of the peace talks slow down. Therefore the peace talks can be continuation and meantime casual- ties on both sides may be eradi- cated while the peace talks goes on." The letter proposed that a white flag indicate that one side was will- ing to talk to the other. It asked that the U.N. reply be sent by a Korean civilian with a safe con- duct guarantee and in the 'leave message box," a reference taken to mean that the Chinese wanted the answer enclosed in their origi- nal yellow glazed envelope. The Chinese suggestion concern- ing a party read: "We scheduled a time for a tem- porary ceasefire and shall see a spot in the middle of both positions for holding a party. Those who want to join us will be welcome-- delegates all the same (presume ably delegations of equal rank and number). Both sides should guaran- tee delegates security on basis of military honor, ceasing all mill tary activities." Signed by battalion commander Ching Che of the Chinese People's Volunteer Forces and by Donj Quie on behalf of a "delegation of the privates," the note ended: "Hail the immediate realization for Jajuetront friendly entertain. ment," Ajax-Pickering (Continued from page 1) Messer. Mr. Bayly declared he was through with the matter while Mr. Messer deplored the stand taken by Ajax which would jeopardize the health of 800 residents of Pickering. After the meeting Ross I chairman of the new Ajax-Pickere ing High School Board, speaking to a representative of The Times= Gazette, said that the school would open regardless of the water cone tract. The school is having a 10,000 gallon water reservoir installed and has hired Gore and Storie as con- tractors for temporary haulage of water from Ajax or Whitby. The two municipalities were re- cently urged to straighten out their differences by the Ontario Municie pal Board. The reason that Ajax wants the green belt is that it wants to build up its own industrial area without competition from oth- er industries which might set up between Ajax and Pickering. The question is now hopelessly inter- woven with the water supply ques- tion which is being used by Ajax as a lever in the talks. Pickering's present water supply is provided by wells, which are unusable for six months of the year.
