go $i i ¢ , flour used in Frost Indicates Government May Take Some Action Fenelon Falls, Ont. (CP)--Premier Frost has thrown out a hint that the Ontario Government may take a hand in cutting retail milk prices if the dairies themselves do not soon reduce distribution costs through more efficient prac= tices than those now used. Referring particularly to the sit-® uation in the Toronto area, where the retail price is 21 cents a quart for delivered milk and 20. cents for milk in stores, he said yesterday that unless the dairies improve merchandising methods to benefit the consumer, "somebody else" will do so. In his address to the Young Pro- gressive Conservative Association's summer school, Mr. Frost did not explain who "somebody else" might be. However, his remarks were tak- en to mean that the Ontario Milk Control Broad might order the dairies to put into effect a more economical system of deliveries. Another possibility was that the board might license stores to buy, bottle and sell milk in competition with dairies. "The distributors can do the job themselves, by setting out to give real leadership. Otherwise, they have no one to blame but them- selves. . . . |" "Two things are plain. The peo- ple want the cash-and-carry system and modern and up-to-date methods of merchandising. These they are not getting." 'Watson, the Needle Three Major Mysteries Baffle French Police Paris (AP) -- France could use 2 Sherlock Holmes today to help solve three baffling mysteries which have brought violent death to 17 persons. Where did the grain come from that went into the bread in the little southern town of Pcnt - Saint- sprit -- bread that killed four persons and set at least 40 others writhing in tke =agonies of "St. Anthony's Fire?" Did kindly, matronly Marie Bes- nard, 53, feed fatal doses ot ar- genic to ner two husbards and 10 other persons, including close re- latives in-laws and friends? They all died between 1927 aad 1947 and Madame Besnard -- now in 'ail waiting trial -- acquized a great ea: of wealth during that time, much of it in legacies. Ie it the body of Madame Marta Smigly - Rydz, widow of the late Polish army Marshal Edward Smigly - Rydz, that was found under « bridge on the Riviera ia July? If so -- and police think it is, though the head, legs and arms are missing -- who did it? Case no. 1: Police figure they've got the bread deaths partly cleared up. The bread was poisoned by ergot, they say, a fungus disease that hits cereals in rainy spells and causes what was known from medieval times as "Fervent Fever' or 'St. Anthony's Fire." Police believe the poisoned grain may have come from farmers who sold it clandestinely to avoid taxes and other paper formalities. Of- ficials said they had traced the the bread to a nearby Case no. 2: Back in 1945, Leon Besnard, sec- ond husband of Madame Besnard, died in the little town of Loudon in western France. Everyone thought it was from natural causes until a tip from neighbors caused police to dig up his said tests showed he died of arsenic poisoning. This led them to dig up 11 other bodies and all of them, said the police, were drenched in arsenic. Included were the bodies of the woman's first husband, Auguste Antigy, who died in 1927, his mother, who died in 1949, her sec- ond husband's mother, other rela- tives and two friends. Madame Besnard was arrested and charged with murdering all 12, She denied the charges. Examinations show she is sane. But now a bombshell has ex- ploded on the eve of her trial. Toxi- cological experts, acting for her de- fence lawyers, say all the soil where the bodies were buried con- tains an abnormal 200 grams of arsenic a cubic yard. How the ar- senic got there hasn't been ex- plained yet. Case no. 3: On July 17, the torso of a woman was found in a sack under a bridge at Cros-d'Utelle, a village near the Riviera resort city of Cannes. Police said they are convinced it was the body of 57 - year - old Madame Smigly - Rydz, missing for two weeks. For weeks police have questioned hundreds of persons -- to no avail. Now they're wondering if they'll ever solve the crime. HINY COUNTRY EXPERIENCES BOOM IN OIL By HAIG NICHOLSON Kuweit (Reuters) -- These are boom days in the tiny independent sheikhdom of Kuweit, under whose deserts lies one of the world's richest oilfields. Production figures from the oil- field by the end of 1951 will, ac- cording to present indications, es- tablish a record. From January to July of this year, 13,657,689 tons were pro- duced and the estimated pro- duction for 1951 is 23 million tons. The first shipment of Kuweit oil was made in June 1946. During that year, total production was 797,350 tons. Since then, the figures have risen steadily. Although there is a small re- finery which meets mainly local needs and ship bunkerage, the Ku- weit Oil Company Ltd.--half Bri ish and half American in owner- ship--is concerned entirely with ihe production and export of crude More and more tankers are call- ing to take Kuweit oil away to the refineries of Europe, mainly, in Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and Germany. Tankers at present have to queue up and wait their turn far loading. July' of this year, 181 tankers were loaded. This was 20 in excess of expectations and the highest monthly total so far. Only six loading berths are available and until another two planned for construction are com- pleted, old submarine lines are to be used to speed up the filling of tankers.

"When the Persian crisis develop- ed and supplies from Abadan stopped, we were in the position of having something extra in hand and were able to take up some of the slack. Our future plans are for continual expansion."

(CP) -- Six long-range RCAF Lancasters from the East Coast will range far and wide over the barren shores of James Bay today in the continuing search for Bill Barilko, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman, and Dr. Henry Hudson, Bmmins dentist. Their crews will keep a sharp lookout for traces of wreckage of the little yellow seaplane in which the men vanished Aug. 26 while on a far north fishing trip. One theory is that their plane plunged into James Bay, possibly Rupert's House, 240 miles north- west of Timmins, or perhaps after being buffeted back over the waters of the bay by 60-mile-an- hour headwinds. This theory gained credence last night after Rev. A. C. Williams, Anglican missionary at Rupert's t-| House, his wife, and about 25 In- dians told of seeing the plane, heavily loaded with 60 pounds of fish in each pontoon, struggle to make difficult take-off from Ru- pert's House.

ACCUSATIONS AND DENIALS HOLDUP TRUCE Tokyo (AP) --Truce negsiiators today exchanged accusing, uncom- promising notes amid predictions that a 400,000 - man Communist army may soon launch a new of- fensive in the Korean war. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's head quarters said the Communists have a total of 70 divisions available, backed by 1000 planes, plus tanks and artillery. It added: ."Large numbers of Caucasian Soviet puppet troops" have moved into North Korea. $ Along the battle line fighting reached its greatest intensity in four months. The Reds were re- ported to have re-equipped and re- supplied at least 40 divisions, about 400,000 men, on the front with 30 more in reserve since now dis- rupted truce talks started Jul) 10. Chief truce negotiators ex- changed six sharp notes today. Each accused the other of distor- tion. Neither proposed resuming mistice meetings, which the Reds roke off two weeks ago. The notes between United States Vice-Admiral C. Turner Joy and North Korean Lt. - Gen. Nam Il dealt solely with three asserted vio- lations of the Kaesong neutrality zone in Korea. They were Red ac- cusations. Joy denied them all, Despite the bitterness of ' the notes, a source close to the United Nations' command said some hope still existed among truce negotia- tors armistice talks would be re- sumed, However, the general view was heavy with pessimism. Nam Il sent three lengthy notes telling Joy 'your consistent me- thod of distorting facts and flat denial" was not a satisfactory an- swer to Red Charges. He repeated Communist accusa- tions that (1) An Allied plane dropped flares 'Aug. 29 in the Kae- song area where truce talks were held, (2) South Korean troops killed a Red military policeman in the neutral zone Aug. 30, and (3) Al- lied troops killed one Communist and wounded another on the edge Of uie zone Aug. 19. Admiral Joy's replies were sharp and curt. He again denied all three charges.

Ground work has already been laid for such a group aimed at eliminating today's over-lapping of conservation work.

Menzies, whose Liberai-Country coalition has a majority in the House of Representatives and Sen- ate, pushed the Defence Prepar- ations Act through against labor opposition. Broadly, the act enables the government to prepare Australia for war by the end of 1953. Menzies has repeatedly explained that war preparation does not mean belief in the inevitability of war but that "adequate defence prepar- ation will probably mean peace." Interests outside parliament which normally support a non- labor -government have been un- happy about the enactment. Main objection is based not necessarily on what Menzies will do but what he could do and how. The act allows the government "to make regulations" in the in- terests of defence. Parliament need not be consulted. The objective stated to parlia- ment was to control and divert national resources and to prevent economic dislocation, Critics set out to show that this gave the government "almost un- limited power," "a blank cheque" and "put national economy in a straitjacket." There is special provision in the act, however, precluding its use to impose taxation, raise loans, direct manpower compulsorily or conscript people into the armed services. R. J. Webster, president of the Associated Chambers of Manufac- turers, said in a letter to pres- Idents of the six state chambers that if the prime minister has in- formation to justify belief in the threat of war he will have the unqualified .support of Australian manufacturers. "But beyond the absolute neces- sity, however," the letter contin- ued, "industry is strongly opposed to the imposition of controls and the regulation, regimentation and di- rection of industry which can only result in the slowing down of production, black marketing waste of labor and all the other evils inseparable from government con- trol and interference with indus- try."
