New Weapons Not Sure Cure But Big Help Washington (AP) -- The chair- man of the United States Atomic Energy Commission put a flat "no" to theories that an immediate big- scale switch to atomic weapons might avert another war and halve 1952 military costs. ' But Gordon Dean did say the U.S. now has tactical atomic weapons, and made a cautious disclosure that new atomic weapons are being produced. Dean testified last week behind the closed doors of a House of re- presentatives appropriations sub- committee. The testimony was made available to a reporter to- day. Dean was asked by Represen- tative Albert Thomas (Dem. Tex.) about recent statements that an extra $6 billion given to the AEC now might avert a war and save up to half the 1952 military budget. The answer, Dean replied, is a "flat no." He said the extra money 'could not be translated immediately into more atomic weapons because of the time factor involved in produc- ing them. Thomas then asked Dean if he knew of any new supplies of raw materials by which atomic bombs could be produced by the thou- sands. "I hate to go into figures," Dean answered. 'I would rather not talk of numbers." Thomas then wanted to know about a prediction made in a Sen- ate speech Sept. 18 by Senator Brien McMahon (Dem. Conn.) that if, as McMahon urged, the U.S. "mass - produced' atomic weapons the cost of an atomic bomb would "become less than the cost of a single tank." McMahon called for all-out atom- ic weapons production, saying that if $6 billion a year were spent on atomic energy mstead of the $800 million spent last year, sav- ings at some future time might reach $40 billion a year. While the cost of an atomic bomb probably can be and is being brought down, Dean said, it would eventually be closer to the cost of "a few tanks" than the cost of a single tank. Before the house committee, Dean cautioned against any feeling that the field of atomic energy and present U.S. advances are an as- surance of security. "I do not think that there is any quick and easy method of procuring total security," he said. Provincials (Continued from page. 1) on Monday appeared to be a face- saving action," said Arthur W. S. Greer, counsel for the Ratepayers' Association. He said he would study the regulations governing po- lice commissions, but at the mo- ment he did not know if the offi- cers had any means of redress. "I thought the commission would coms to its senses and hold a com- plete hearing where everyone could have his say," Mr. Greer said yes- terday. "It seems weird that the two main men, Chief Love and Sgt. Banks, should have their resigna- tions typed out in time for the hearing." Judge J. F. McRae, chairman of the Commission, which includes Crown Attorney A. C. Hall, K.C., and Mayor J. W. Elliott, said the cases would not be re-opened. "It was no probe," he added, "but only an open meeting of the commis- sion." Mayor Elliott said he thought it was the commission's intention to have an independent force estab- lished, and added that he felt that was the wish of the council and the citizens of Whitby. Riding, who has been taking a keen interest in the Whitby police situa- tion, was probably the most sure prised individual on learning the members of the force have virtually been dismissed. He said yesterday that he had expected a re-opening of the investigation, and that he would see the Attorney-General of Ontario and press for fair treat- ment of the members of force. "Dana Porter assured me," said Mr. Thomas, "that the commission would hold a second hearing at which witnesses could be represent- ed by counsels. There is something amiss here. This situation must be rectified, as I find that public opin- ion is very much against the com- mission." ; Free Oshawa Driver Of Careless Driving William Bonnice, 7 Erie Street, in Magistrate's Court this morning on a careless driving charge as the result of a September 1 accident on Brock Street South; Whitby, plead- ed not guilty and heard the charge dismissed. Constable George Dunbar of Whitby described the disposition of the two vehicles involved, remark- ing that the other car, driven by Clarence Moore, 601 Euclid Avenue, Whitby, left a skid mark of some 85 feet up,to the point of impact. Ona quéstion from Acting Crown Attorney T. M. Moore, Dunbar said that accused had told him he saw another car approaching with parking lights on, just before the accident. John Greer, attorney for the de- fence, declared there was no evi- dence of careless driving on the part of accused, citing a similar case from supreme court annals. Magistrate ,R. P, Locke stated that it was really a case for a civil court. The following case, in which Clarence Moore was charged with careless driving, arising out of the same. accident, was similarly dis- posed of. J.P. Mangan, K.C.,, act- ed for the.defence. ee CLOSE. MARGINS Brooklyn.--The Dodgers won 18 of their first 37 victories in the current season by margins of one run. T. D. Thomas, MLA for Ontario | Windsor Signs First For Houses Windsor, Ont. -- (CP) -- windsor tonight became the first city in the province to sign on the dotted line for 325 rental houses under a muni- cipal-provincial-federal scheme. Advertisements will be inserted requesting bids from builders. The bids are to be in the hands of the Central Mortgage Corporation by 2 p.m,, Oct. 12. Board of Control at a special meeting approved the agreement. Within a short time council added its approval. The houses will cost approximate- ly $9,000 each. The rent was esti- mated at $61 a month. It is expected building will start this year, and the first of the houses will be ready by spring. Cabinet (Continued from page 1) legislature. He may contest the To- ronto Eglinton constituency, cur- rently represented by former At- torney - General Leslie Blackwell, who does not intend to run again. Mr. Thomas will again contest the constituency of Elgin which he has represented since 1945. For Mr. Frost a general election would be an appeal for personal endorsation as premier. George Drew, now Progressive Conserva- tive leader at Ottawa, was premier when the Conservatives won elec- tion at the last Ontario vote in June, 1948. Mr. Frost was named as his successor at a party conven- tion in 1949. STRENGTHEN CABINET In making the appointments, the premier is strengthening his cab- inet at two vital points, another fact which might herald an election. Before Dr. Dunlop entered the cabinet, Attorney - General Porter doubled as minister of education. Now Mr. Porter will be able to give his full time to the attorney- general's portfolio. Appointment of Mr. Thomas re- lieves George Doucett of one of his two portfolios. He remains as min- ister of highways. The premier also -announced a shuffle in the treasury board, a body created under the audit act and which passes on all financial undertakings of the government. The premier, who is also provin- cial treasurer, stepped out of the board chairmanship. He will be re- placed by Mr. Doucet. New mem- bers of the board will" be Mr. Porter and William E. Hamilton, mer minister of reform institutions. There has been growing specula- tion recently that an election would be held this year. This was increased by the fact that in the last few weeks the premier has not flatly denied the growing rumors. NOVEMBER 14 EARLIEST If Mr. Frost does decide to an- nounce the election tomorrow, the polling date could not be any sooner than Nov. 19. The election act re- quires that at least 30 days elapse between the calling of an election and the official nomination day. A further 14 days must be allowed between nomination day and poll- ing day in months from November to March. In other months, only seven days are required. Since 1867 Ontario has had three October general elections and three in December, but never one in Nov- ember. Present slanding in the legisla- ture is 53 Progressive Conserva- tives; 21 CCF members; 13 Liber- als; 1 Liberal Labor; two Labor- Progressive. The legislature normally could run until 1953, but a number of factors, including Mr. Frost's wish for personal endorsation as premier are believed to have influenced his decision. . Other factors are the impending construction of the St. Lawrence seaway, for which the premier may feel he should have the people's approval, and the frequently ex- pressed wish of Liberal leader Wal- ter Thomson, still a member of the federal house, for a test of the government's popularity. TWO SWORN IN The two new cabinet ministers were sworn in by Lieutenant-gover- nor Ray Lawson yesterday after- noon. They may attend their first cabinet session tomorrow. Dr. Dunlop has been with the De- partment of Education since last spring. He has been chiefly con- cerned with adult education. A native of Grey county, Dr. Dun- lop was the son of an Anglican clergyman. He was educated at Stayner public school, collegiates in Collingwood and Clinton, University of Toronto and Queen's University. He began teaching at a rural school in Hullett township, later | was principal of the public and con- tinuation school in Tavistock, of King Edward school in Peterboro and Queen Alexander model school in the same city. Mr. Thomas entered the legisla- ture be defeating former Liberal Premier Mitchell Hepburn in 1945. A graduate of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph, he was agricultural representative for some years in Grey county, Port Arthur and Elgin county. He is an apple and tobacco grower at St. Thomas. TORONTO STOCKS Toronto (CP) -- Solid support in forenoon dealings today pushed all stock market sections higher.

Churchill (Continued from page 1) leave Iran this morning, follow- ing Mossadegh's order that they clear out by Oct. 4. He said Labor's policy had been suggested by the Conservatives, but that Attlee's men had followed it so' "clumsily and tardily that much of what we might have gain- ed has been thrown away in the ex- ecution." Shortly before the Conservative meeting, left-wing rebel Aneurin Bevan cramped Attlee's leadership by capturing four of the seven seats in the political division of the party's national executive commit- tee. Attlee still had ccatrol of the 28-member committee, but Bevan's victory showed an unsuspected sup- port from rank-and-file members. Attlee, at the party convention at Scarborough, captured 24 of the 28 Not Coalition London (CP) -- Winston Church- ill's reference in a speech last night to a '"'broadly-based' govern- ment is not interpreted here as a call for a coalition government or party truce. Although the conservative leader is known to feel strongly that par- tisan spirits must not be allowed to cloud national issues, There is no suggestion that he is thinking | now of any deal with labor, be- fore or after the Oct. 25 general election. Not a single newspaper among Britan's major morning and even- ing dailies made any comment on the reference to a broadly-based government, which is in line with many of Churchill's previous speeches. Over the years Churchill has given the impression that he would be prepared to consider a coalition, including Labor ministers, only as a last resort. Conservative party sources in London said today they were un- able to comment on the Liverpool speech, since no text has been re- ceived. Party leaders, including planning chief R.A. Butler, were addressing a press conference at which a fuller statement of the Conservative manifesto was being outlined. Not Worth War Scarborough, England (AP( Foreign Secretary Herbert Mor- riscn said today that the Labor government was not willing to go to war to keep its oil technicians in Iran. He spoke at the annual Labor party conference. Replying to a charge last night by Conservative leader Winston Churchill that the government broke its pledge to hold the re- finery at Abadan, Morrison said: "It is easy to get into a war if you want to, but not always easy to get out of it, and you cannot always see where it is going to lead you. ; "As long as I am foreign sec- retary, I am perfectly willing to act in accordance with the facts and needs of our country. "But I will not be a party to a war which is not necessary. and can possibly be avoided. "Mr. Churchill said last night the prime minister (Clement Att- lee) had broken his word and that he had said we intended to stay in the southern part of Persia (Iran) with, at any rate, a hard core of | British technicians and oil men.

In a manifesto issued in advance |! of the Oct. 25 general election, the Liberals said a third party is essen- tial in the commons to "act as a brake on class bitterness and create a safeguard against the deadening power of the great pol- itical machines.'"- Their manifesto offered to "sup- port the more reasonable elements in both the Labor and Conservative parties." It endorsed the Labor |? government's rearmment program but said the final test was not fin- ancial expenditure but the number of fully - equipped military units ready for action. The manifesto was tossed into a political battlefield already echo- | ing with party cannonading. The Liberals, admittedly, xx pick ing up second para previous knows, but does not mention, again, is it honest to mention gross profits in 1950 as compared with Americans From Border Rangoon (AP) -- Burma has banned Americans from entering Burmese ferritory adjoining Com- munist China without special per- mission. The ban includes United States diplomatic representatives in Ran- goon, educators, and technicians and specialists of the economic co- operation administration. It applies especially to the Ka- chin state of Myitkyina in the north and the Shan siate of Kengtung, which hooks onto Red China. Burmese sources say Burmese troops have begun military oper- ations in Kengtung against Chinese Nationalist troops reported to be in retreat from Yunnan. These Nationalist soldiers launched a limited offensive nearly four months ago. Informed. sources say Burma is convinced the U.S. is aiding the Nationalist drive in China and fears the presence of Americans along the heaving frontier will give Chinese Reds an excuse to invade Burma. The government observes strict neutrality in the Nationalist-Com- munist affair. Wrong Remedy By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Cleve Kidd, research director of the United Steel Workers of Ameri- ca who appeared on a recent C.B.C. "Points of View" program, has evid- ently so conditioned his mind that his point of view is that any argu- ment which' can be distorted into favoring his case, is a fair arge- ment, There is no doubt he is very persuasive." "At the present time," he arged, "our dollars are buying less and less; we are limited in the amount of goods we can purchase. But profits are not limited. There are no excess profit taxes. In 1950 gross corporation profits mounted to two and a quarter billion dollars, an increase of more than 56% since 1946." Mr, Kidd continued, with a seem- ingly disarming candor: "Some will say, 'but worker's wages have been steadily rising in the past few years'. So they have -- that is, their money wages. But what has hap- pened to their ral wages? The aver- age worker has had a real increase in pay of little better than $1 per week over five years of effort. Com- pare this with the better than 56% increase in corporation profits." On its face this seems a very damaging argument. It would be, if it were honest. But is it completely honest to compare gross profits to real wages? These gross profits are in the same dollars a ths worker's wages. If the worker's real dollar wages are down almost 50% so are he profit dollars, This Mr. Kidd 946, without also. mentioning that the gross is made in a body of in- dustries which have grown enor- mously in both number and in cap- ital investment? Or why speak of gross profits in- stead of net profits The worker speaks of "Take home pay," why not "take home profits" profits on which Mr. Kidd could honestly lodge his argument are The only hose which are distributed. Profits retained in the business to cover more costly inventories and grow- ing outlafs for maintenance, mod- ernization and expansion much a part of the "take home pay" of the worker as they are profits are as or the owners. Mr. Kidd's comparison lies only against the shareholder who does benefit from his share of profits. or|2 (Cleared 2-105) Assessment (Continued from page 1) tion of the un-annexed area of the township was 1294, Since that time there has been an increase of 165 people--not a large increase, it is true, but nonetheless a gain. After annexation the assessment of the township, or what remained of the township began steadily to increase. The gain in total taxable assessment for un-annexed por- tions of the township increased by $76,000 or 9 per cent. ASSESS, T INCREASED Summary of the figures showed that the total 1951 assessment (land, buildings and business) li- f able for all taxation in the town- ship was $1,650,475. That for last year was $1,583,475. J Total assessed values liable for public school rates amounted to $1,659,475. Inasmuch as there was no separate school in the township its support was not a factor. Municipal' property exempt from taxation amounted to $5,550; school property, also exempt, $26,950; exempt agricultural property, $6,950 and other property exempted, $17,- 650. Land deemed liable for local improvements only including church land and lands connected therewith, $33,800. Grand total of exempted land and buildings, $90,- 900. The figure of $1,659,475, the amount: of the total assessment for 1951 in the township included an item of $10,000 which was estimated to be the business assessment.

His most recent positions have been assistant mana- ger at Shell's large refineries in New Orleans and Houston, How has he fared? Mr. Kidd ad- mits that every worker is $1 a week better off on the average than he was in 1946. But in 1946 the stock- holder's share of profits represent- ed 35% of the personal income of all Canadians. In 1949, the last year of record, it was 2.12%. Argue it any way you will. The worker has gain- ed ground, the investor, target of all profit arguments, has lost. We don't like inflation any better than Mr. Kidd.

GRAIN:- Chicago Conviction Is Quashed A careless driving conviction against James Munro, 16, scn of Ontario County Warden Ferguson Munro, R. R. 1, Blackwater, was Quashed this morning by Judge ¥F. J. McRae, presiding during the third week of the General Sessions of the Peace now in progress in Whitby. In allowing the appeal Judge Mc- Rae ruled that the accused youth was not responsible for the mechan ical failure of the car which was in- section of Concession 12, Reach Township and Highway No. 12 on the evening of May 20. . The conviction was registered, after a trial in Uxbridge, by. Magis- trate Frank S. Ebbs, after which a fine of $75 and costs of $35 were imposed and the young man's driv- ing licence suspended for six months. Today Judge McRae order- ed the fine and costs returned and the suspension lifted. Russell Gay, of Toronto, driver of the second car involved in the acci- dent, sprained the muscles in his back in the crash and received a concusssion, His wife suffered seven broken ribs and internai injuries. KEY EVIDENCE Cne of the notable pieces of evi- dence delivered during the hearing today and described by Crown At- torney Alex C. Hall, KC, as "a shock indeed" was given by Ray Hobbs, proprietor of a Manchester garage, who examined the, car dri- ven by Munro, after the accident. Any driver of a car equipped with hydraulic brakes could be faced [with the fact, he said, that at one moment he might have brakes and at the next none whatsoever. If be- cause of seepage or for any other reason the brake fluid in the master cylinder got below the point where the check valve operated the driver would find himself completely with out a service brake. Furthermore, he added, this was not at all un- common, It was difficult to estimate but he thought the number of such cases he might repair in a year would number 25, The driver of a new-model car had no reason to feel that this could not happen to him, the wit- ness added. The incidence of such cases was not, admittedly, as great in new cars but it did often occur. Chicago (AP) -- Grains opened firm in fairly brisk dealings today. Soybeans and oats had the best gains. Prospect of exports of soybeans and its products spurred buying in that pit. Bean oil and bean meal also were strong.

Civil Servants Ask Pay Increase Ottawa (CP) -- Fred Whitehouse, president of the Civil Service Fed- eration of Canada, said today the federation intends to press for an "immediate adjustment" in the salaries of Canada's 120,000 feder- al government workers. In a statement, the president made public a letter from Finance Minister Abbott which said that a decision on a salary increase of cost-of-living bonus would be made as soon as departmental enquiries had been concluded 'and a report made to the cabinet. Evidence, as adduced by Crown and defence witnesses, who were | qustioned by Mr. Hall and A. W. S. | Greer, K.C., who conducted the de- fendent's case, showed that young | Munro along with his 17-year-old sister Mary and a number of other 'teen agers were on their way, on the evening of Sunday, May 20, to Whitby to attend a sing-song and musical evening. They were ap- proaching No. 12 Highway on the 12th Concession. About 200 feet away and on the side of a steep hill which approached the highway at that point the driver of the car, young Munro, applied the brakes. BRAKES FAILED "Jack -- no brakes," he shouted to Jack Hallet whose father owned the car and who was riding with him in the front seat. After pump- ing the brake pedal to no avail he grabbed the emergency lever and hauled on it. The weight of the car on the side of the hill was too great and it proceeded out on the high- way where it was struck full on the side of the automobile which was being driven south on Number 12 by Gay. George Love of Uxbridge was a witness to the accident. He said that the first thing the young man did after the accident was state that the reason he could not stop the car was because there "were no brakes." He looked into the: auto- mobile after and saw the brake pedal on the floor, fully depressed, and the emergency brake full on. Owner of the car, Clayton Hallet, of Manilla, said that he had taken the automobile in for an overhaul early in May, about two weeks be- fore the accident. His wife, Mrs. Evelyn Hallet, said that that very Sunday morning she drove the veh- icle to church and, at that time, the brakes were all right® Another witness was Roy Reask, who lived one and a half miles north of the intersection. The youngsters came to his farm to pick up his daughter Jean, he said. At that time the automobile brakes were apparently all right. "There is no reason that I can see to reject the evidence of the young man regarding the brake failure," said Judge McRae. "It ap= pears to me that he was an experi= enced driver and that he would have been able to stop in plenty of time had there been proper brakes. I will allow the eppeal and quash the conviction." Warden Ferguson testified earlier in the case that his son was an ex- perienced automobile and tractor driver. He was familiar with me- chanical equipment, he said, AUSSIE SCOURGE into a major scourge in Australian farmlands, was introduced there from Europe in 1860. +a : You get friendly, understand- ing, fast service!
