Two Jets Crash In West Ontario * Wallaceburg, Ont. (CP)--Po- lice today reported that two aircraft, believed to be jets, crashed about two miles out- side of this western Ontario town. A barn was said to have been struck and set afire. No details were available immedi- ately. 4 I After opening two tende | trunk and lateral sewer program for Oshawa, City Council last night decided that prices were too high and that the Board of Works would, accordingly, do the work. The City Engineer was authorized to get prices on a pull shovel which will be necessary for the work and, in a general way, was given permission to hire the other words, told to do what with the job. The two tenders were from Frank rs for one-half of a proposed men he needed. He was, in was necessary but to get on $01,422 for the job and the Port Hope Construction Company, which made an offer to do the work for $79,184. Although the over-all estimate given at ansgarlier meeting when this program first was considered was $121,600 for the nort. art of the two-part program, the prices submitted by tenders were still very high in view of the fact that there were certain parts of the work and certain material and time conces- sions offered by the city. These were not given in detail last night inasmuch as the tenders were opened at midnight after a four- hour meeting but it was felt both by the engineer and the members of council that the prices swere away out of line and for:!that reason the Board of Works was deputized to go ahead with the work. i' Nothing was done at that time about the second half of the schedule which included the in- stallation of trunk sewers in the southern half of the city. At the meeting, held about .a month ago, at which the subject first was discussed there was a good deal of acrimonious dispute about which half of the program, the north or south, should be proceeded with first.

"If you knew," said Mayor Michael Starr, "how . many hours Mr. Creighton, former City Solicitor, and I have spent in Mr. Gifford's fields talking with him you would realize just how hard we- tried to ar- rive at an agreement." Mayor Starr said that the last price asked by the owner of the land was $500 an acre and that was for partly marsh land, That price in the opin- ion of competent authorities was far in excess of its value. Consequently it was deemed necessary to begin expropria- tion proceedings.

There is no set precedent but such councils, usually have been composed of the monarch's closest NET PAID CIRCULATION The Times-Gazette Average Per issue for AUGUST 116,019 relatives, ineluding those who stand in immediate succession to the throne. Government circles generally as- sumed today that a council formed in the present circumstances would consist of five members. Probably they would bé the Queen, Princess Elizabeth and Margaret, the King's sister, Princess Mary who is Prin- cess Royal -- and a lone man, the King's brother, the Duke of Glou- cester.

Pearson said last night. Canada's external affairs min- ister said that formerly relations between Canada and the U.S. were on a bi-lateral basis--discussion of problems etween the two countries "over the garden fence." Now Canada is part of a coali- tion of which the U.S. is the leader whose power can determine war or peace, he added. . Pearson was answering questions put by members of the United Nations correspondents association on the television and radio program 'United or Not." The program was rebroadcast over the CBC. The 'minister's comment on Can- adian-U.S. relations came up when reporter asked for a statement concerning a speech Pearson made last spring in Toronto which caused widespread comment in the U.S. and Canada. Any interpretation of the speech as critical of the U.S. was "incor- ' rect," Pearson said, It was to be expected that Canada would speak fpankly on international problems. Last spring, Pearson said, Can- ada was worried about the possi- bility of extension of war in the Far East. "Now we are notso worried about it." He said that any smaller, weaker country is preoccupied with power. Canada, therefore, was preoccu- pied with U.S. power. '"'But our relations are good, have been good and will remain good." "Peace with freedom'. might be the tag to give the U.N. General Assembly which opens in Paris Nov. 6, Pearson said in reply to a question. The reporter asking the question noted that the 1949 as- sembly was called the 'peace As- sembly' and the one in 1950 was me assembly of collective secur- ty." . Pearson said the western powers have tried all types of approaches to heal east-west relations, What 1s needed 'now is a new attitude on the part-of- the- Soviet bloc Pear- son indicated. MPS EEA ANNOY. IDEN") PY POSTPONED Ottawa (CP) -- Today may tell the tale on whether Princess Eliza- beth and the Duke of Edinburgh come to Canada this fall. Original plans called for them to have sailed today from Liverpool in the Empress of France. Their passage was cancelled when it was learned that the King required a major lung operation. Present plans call for them to fly to Canada to fulfill the pro- gram that has been arranged for them starting Oct. 2. However, the men who have planned the ela- borate coast - to - coast schedule would not be surprised if the royal tour is postponed. Many newspapers have publish- ed editorials stressing that in view of the King's grave condition Prin cess Elizabeth should feel under no obligation to fulfill her Cana- dian tour. Others suggested the tour might be somewhat trimmed.

The question, which has been re- current every few weeks in meet- ings of city council, was again brought up when a letter was read from J. Maslak, who lives in a trailer on Valencia Avenue. Mr. Maslak contended that it was quite unfair to forbid him to live in a trailer. To begin with, his letter said to council, it was not his fault that sewers 'and water were not past the land he owned which was within the city. He worked on the railway, he said, and unable to build a house recently he was able to make the down payment on a trailer. He was willing to wager that his trailer was a much better dwelling that some of the "shacks" on Valencia Avenue, Granting that there was some- thing of merit in his arguments, TRAILER CAMPS (Continued on Page 2) Police Speed Polio Victim To Hospital About 545 p.m. yesterday Con- | stable P.

The bulletin, signed by four doc- tors who spent the night at the palace and the surgeon who per- formed the operation, said: "After another restful night the King continues to gain strength." As soon as they agreed on the bulletin, the , doctors telephoned the good news to members of the royal family staying outside the palace. Princess Elizabeth and her hus- band, the Duke of Edinburgh, re- ceived it at Clarence House, their London residence. The news also went to Marl- borough House, home of Queen Mother Mary.

The offer of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme allied com- mander, was contained in a mes- sage delivered to Col. Chang Chun- san, chief Red liaison officer, at Panmuhjom, Korea. Ridgway's Tokyo headquarters said the allied commander had in- structed Col. Andrew J. Kinney, senior allied iaison officer: 'Desire you deliver this date to Communist liaison officer at Pan- munjom the following message signed by you addressed to Colonel Chang, Communist liaison officer. "Despite your unilateral action in recessing the meeting today and your abrupt departure. therefrom, I am prepared to meet with you ANAF tomorrow 26 September 1951 at 1000 (10 a.m.) to discuss condi- tions mutually satisfactory for re- sumption of the armistice talks." CONDITIONS FOR TALKS The Reds walked out when allied liaison officers insisted on discuss- ing conditions under which the truce talks could be resumed. The allies earlier told the Reds that Kaesong was not a satisfactory site. The Communists wanted to get the truce talks going right away. But they demanded that the first session be given over to plans for processing a string of charges that the allies had violated the neu- trality of Kaesong. Eight and one - half hours after the Reds stalked out of the Tues- day morning meeting, an allied of- ficer left the advance camp at Munsan. with the message for the Re as. - He made the extraordinary night flight to Panmunjom, near Kae» song, by helicopter.
