The division, pre- sumably north Korea, was in hills just north of the scene of recent bitter clashed. Another group of Reds, estimat- at about 2000 men, was seen moving south in the area northest of Yanggu. Five hundred more Red were seen digging in this sector.

The total for -the year .is now 17 cases all of which occurred within the last three months. This is the sharpestaepidemic of polio in the city's history. Fortunately, nearly all the cases have been of the mild- est type and have been treated by quarantine in the patient's homes. First of the year's eases affecting a grown adult was reported yester- day to the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. A. F. Mackay. A man in his middle 30's contracted a mild ease and as he showed no signs of paralysis, is being treated at his home. The other case, on Tuesday night, was of a girl of 11 years who Mves on Simcoe Street South. Her case was also mild with no paralysis. Quarantine period for contacts is seven days from the time' contact with a polio victim is broken. The map in Dr. Mackay's office which pin-points the 17 cases, now has six yellow pins denoting homes where the contacts are out of quarantine, A week is the presumed incubation period for polio. RIOT FLARES IN MONTREAL TOBACCO FIRM Montreal, Que. (CP)-- Police re- serves were called out last night to quell a near-riot at the strike- bound Imperial Tobacco Company, Ltd., plant after what union term- ed "a sneak company attempt" to move five car-loads of cigarets. Union and police officials blamed bystanders and members of a left- ist union for the two-hour outbreak. Today, police remained on the scene and a tramways company crew was to clear up a truckload of clay and sand that was dumped across the company siding and the street car track. The plant was stoned at the height of the outbreak and all win- dows on the first floor of the four- RIOT FLARES (Continued on page 2) NO LIFE LOST IN COLLISION ON W. COAST Prince Rupert, B.C. (CP) -- Two coastal passenger ships, the Prin- cess Kathleen of Canadian Pacific Steamships and the Prince Rupert of Canadian National Steamships, collided early today off Prince Rupert. ? It was believed no lives were lost. The 300 passengers aboard the Kathleen were transferred to the Prince Rupert and both ships were making slow progress toward this port. The Kathleen was badly holed. The collision occurred 29 miles northwest of this port, 400 miles north of Vancouver, 2 Details on how the accident oc- curred were not immediately avail- able, Italy Gives Old Planes To 'Knights' Rome (AP) -- A spokesman for the defence ministry said today "some scores' of old Italian war planes have been transferred to the Knights of Malta for air-ambul- ance use as one way of keeping within peace treaty restrictions on her air force. Gen. Fiore Vernazza, the mini- stry spokesman, said "it is no secret' that some of Italy's Second World War three - engine bombers have been turned over to the order, which is recognized here and in a half dozen other countries as a "sovereignty." 5 Qualified American -$ources said the transfer -- which cuts Italy's inventory of old planes so more modern air power can be brought in under the treaty restrictions -- is being done with the knowledge KNIGHTS OF MALTA (Continued on page 2) 1 Killed, 1 Hurt At Level Crossing Dundalk (CP) -- Arthur Quinn, 72-year-old Proton township farm- er, was killed and his companion on a Bethel district * farm, James Browh, 65, severely injured when a passenger train struck their auto- mobile at a level crossing two miles north of here Wednesday. Quinn was dead by the time the train crewman ran back to where the car landed after being knocked 30 feet by the locomotive.

The inspection followed the re- port of a hydro survey party that | a plane passed its camp on the north bucking a strong headwind at 9 p.m. Sunday. This report was seemingly backed up by word from bush pilot Leo Lamothe that he had seen a trail of smoke 20 miles west of Coral Rapids Monday after- noon. "We inspected the area practi- cally inch by inch over a distance of 60 miles by 40 miles around Coral Rapids and found nothing whatever," said Flt. Lt. G. J. Rus- ton of Hamilton, search director. A puzzler was the belief of Dr. Lou Hudson, brother of the miss- ing dentist, that Henry's plane "buzzed" his house several times in mid - afternoon Monday. But an air search of the Timmins area also disclosed nothing. On James Bay Indians searched the desolate shoreline for traces of the pair who had been fishing Sunday before flying back.

They were just doing what everybody else in Toronto is doing today as the heat and humidity of one of the hottest gays of the summer made itself elt. If Mr. Fine is attempting to wear down the resistance of both sides in the dispute, he has found an ex- cellent ally in the weather. Not a word has been spoken or hint given by representatives of either side of by Mr. Fine as to | what has passed during the past! three days of lengthy deliberation. | nor will they give out anything as ' to the possibility of a termination of the meetings today. There is a feeling here, however, that the longer the meetings con- | tinue the better chance there is for settlement of the 50-day-old strike. Those who are familiar with Mr. Fine's methods in such matters are confident that progress is. being made along favorable lines. He is not one to give up easily. The fact that the deliberations have entered their fourth day in- dicates to some that he has found a basis of settlement on which both injuries and a fractured leg, sides eventually may agree. MINERS STAGE NS. WALKOUT New Waterford, N.S. (CP) -- An estimated 10,000 miners stayed away from work today as an un- called strike spread through the Cape Breton coal fields. When workers came off at mid- night, the other shifts didn't report, leaving most of the pits in eastern Canada's coal industry idle. . The men gave no reason for their failure fo report to work but it came closely on the heels of an appeal from miners already on strike at three collieries here. The earlier walkout came when miners at No. 16 colliery went out to protest what they termed unsafe {working conditions. Workers from two nearby pits followed suit, ap- parently in sympathy. These men -- numbering more than 2000 -- formed a 35-car parade into the Glace Bay area last night to seek support despite an appeal from their union president to re- turn to their jobs. Freeman Jenkins, head of the 13,000 - member United Mine Workers (CCL) District 26, told them it was a 'grave mistake' to take maintenance workers out of the three collieries Tuesday night. Harold Gordon, coal operations chief for Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation, declined comment on the walkouts. Miss Canada Steps Up Ontario Farm Girl to Vie for Miss America Title Atlantic City, N.

CONTROLLER OF TRANSPORT TOMOVE GRAIN Ottawa (CP) Roy Wilfred Milner, one of the country's fore- most grain authorities, today was appointed Canada's first peace- time transport controller in hi- story. His appointment, announced by Transport Minister Chevrier, was an indication that, the government has decided to use direct action to force a diversion of more great- lake shipping from iron ore and coal to grain. The 59-year-old shipping czar, na- tive of Brampton, Ont., will have power to break contracts and re- direct bulk - carrying traffic on the country. He will have control not only over bulk - carrying rail and water trafic but also on all storage ele- vators and terminals normally used in the shipment of bulk com- modities. Those disobeying his orders will be liable to a two - year prison term and a $5000 fine.

In August, 1945, hundreds of oc- cupation officials poured into the battered country with only one mission: To destroy Japan's mili- tarism and tear down the social, political and economic structure which nurtured it. "They began enthusiastically. A home defence force of more than 4,000,000 men was demobilized, war equipment was destroyed guns, half - wrecked ships, mounds of ammunition and even a cyclotron for atomic experiments. About 250,000 career military of- ficers -and civilian leaders during wartime: were removed fiom posi- | tions of influence. Dozens of war criminals were prosecuted. A flood of directives rom Gen.

A new constitution blueprinted popular rule. The cen- tralized Tokyo government was weakened and 44 subservient pre- fectures became little states. Women were proclaimed equal to men and given the vote. Labor unions were given their first of- ficial encouragement.
