The talk, which may have far reaching diplomatic effects, began over lunch at' Churchill"s town house and lasted far beyond the cigars and brandy stage, with no officials present. Precautions were taken to pre- vent any news leaks from the closed - door session, but three main topics are thought to have figured. They are: 1.

A.A, McLeod, Ontario leader of il Labor-Progressive party, cri- ticized mental hospital policy. Mr. Frost said his government |had sought to keep debt low and | the province's credit position strong | to balance the budget and to con- fine taxes to those which had the | gallos} impact on the cost of liv- "In these objectives we have been completely successful. Ontar- io's financial position is the strong- est by all odds in the history of the Province." In a broadcast in which four members of his cabinet joined him, he said the Ontario budget has been balanced: for a record eight years. Mr. Jolliffe, in his broadcast, again pledged his party if elected, to an all-out attack on the housing shortage. He said a CCF government would establish an Ontario housing corp- oration to divert materials into house-building and help municipal- ities and individual citizens to fi- nance new housing. Mr. MacLeod, seeking re-election in Toronto Bellwoods, accused the Ontario government of doing noth- ing to ease a shortage of beds in mental hospitals. He said in a radio address over a Toronto station the government had spent nothing on psychiatric research during the last three years and that the pro- vince has only one psychiatrist for every 1225 persons, WOMEN CUT UP IN JAIL Hamilton (CP) -- A disturbance broke out last night in the wo men's cells at the Barton street jail.

Cost of Living Index Continues Steady Climb Up 6 In September To Set New Record Of 190.4 Ottawa (CP) Up, up, up. That's the direction of the cost-of- living index and the September trend didn't backtrack, although it did slow up. <The Bureau of Satistics reported yesterday that living costs reached a new peak in September mainly due to increased clothing prices. The cost - of - living index went sf-tenths- of & point, ot 190.4 oe 189.8 points during August. It is"based on 1935-39 prices equalling 100 The clothing sub-index jumped 88 poinix, io a peak 2138 from pe / 206.9. The increase was said to have been due to the introduction of new fall and winter lines, higher in price than when these items were surveyed last March. However, another important group, the food sub-index, showed its second drop in two months. Lower meat and egg prices, al- though somewhat offset by in- creases in the cost of other food items, dropped the food sub-index 1.4 points to 249.7. Foods had been as high as 251.4 in July. Other family budget items ducts such as coal and coke, theatre tickets and health care -- went up slightly. Rents were not surveyed. Nevertheless -the September in- dex climb was the smallest in five months, since the two - tenths-of- a-point increase during April. The biggest increase in any month was the 4.5 points last, February, On the wholesale side, the bureau's Index for 30 industrial material prices during October re- versed its downward trend in the four previous months and moved up.

In addition to the fatel crash at Cour- tice' which took one' life and in- jured four other young Oshawa men, many minor mishaps were reported as up to 3% inches of wet snow cut down visibility on streets and highways over a wide area. A head-on collision between an automobile and a truck near Oril- lia killed John N. McDonald, 37, of Avondale, N.S., and Loretta En- right, 24, of Toronto. Injured in the same crash were Alex Mec- Donald 33, all of Toronto. Linton Robinson of Orillia, described . by police as the driver of the truck, escaped injury. John Hornibrook, 65-year-old re- tired farmer, was killed when struck by a transport t _ near North Bay during the 'blinding snowstorm. Provincial constable Vince Coffey said no charge will be laid against the driver, Ken- neth Johnson of South River, Ont. Provincial police in the London district of Western Ontario re- ported scores of accidents, none serious. Visibility was so poor that motorists could drive only between 20 and. 25 miles an hour in safety. Nearly four inches of snow fell on highways 3 and 19 in the Till- sonburg area. U.N. Suggests Kaesong Be Demilitarized Munsan, Korea (AP) -- United Nations' truce negotiators, in a surprise move, proposed to the Communists today that disputed Kaesong be placed in a demilitar- ized zone. The communist held city was the final main issue blocking agreement on a Korean armistice cease-fire line. Red negotiators at Panmunjom apparently were cool toward the oral 'offer, but a U.N. spokes- man said the Communists. "had no categoriacally turned down the pro- posal." There were no details available on the U.N. plan but it could mean one of three things: 1. Set up a separate demilitariz- ed (neutral) zone to include Kae song under joint control. 2. Enlarge the already proposed U.N. buffer zone to include Kae- song. 3. Pull the proposed U.N. buffer zone back so that it runs through Kaesong. The U.N. offer came in the 10th meeting of the sub-- committees. They will meet again Sunday at 11 a.m. (9 p.m. EST Saturday).

Edwin Gurney was allowed to return home in the early hours of this morning after the cuts he received were stitched in Oshawa General Hospital. BLINDING SNOWSTORM Icy roads and the blinding snowe storm during which three-and-a half inches of wet snow fell were the primary causes of the crash, Donald Brown, a printer with The Times-Gazette was driving a 14- year-old Chevrolet car which he obtained yesterday. The,Salvationists held their band practice in Oshawa early last night and then, despite the weather, journeyed to the Ontario Training School for Boys at Bowmanville, Three carloads of the Salvation Army members went on the trip. Returning at 9.45 p.m. the leading car of the trio was crowded into the ditch by "a passing car. Bandmaster Ernie Sargeant in the second car pulled up flag down Brown's car which was the last: vehicle in the convoy. Brown apparently applied his brakes too suddenly and the Chevrolet slewed completely round in the road. GRINDING CRASH Out of the snow loomed a dump truck. Owned by Harvey Const- ruction Company of Kingston, the truck was driven by Clarence Wood of 238 Wellington Street, Kingston. With: a grinding crash the truck and Brown's car smashed together, The car was completely wrecked and the truck was severely dame aged. Calls went out for ambulances to rush the injured Oshawa boys to hopital. Brown was taken to Bowmanville' Hospital and died half-an-hour after he was admitted, Treating the injured was Dr. j. c. austin, who is also Bowmane ville's coroner.- Alex Boyd, of Oshawa Ambulance Service, was called out but road conditions were so bad that he and other rescue drivers were forced to travel at 10 m.p.h.

Object To "Stalli ng" Battle of Price Fix Rages As Speedy Action Urged Ottawa (CP)--The government's plan to turn its anti-price fixing legislation over to a committe for | further study ran into brisk m- mons opposition yesterday. | Charges of; "smokescreen," "red | herring" and "stalling" emerged from the opposition benches as the government moved to establish a joint Commons-Senate committee to hear representations on the legislation, forecast in the speech from the throne. Opposition members accused the government of altering policy-first it had said it would bring down legislation to prohibit manufactur- ers from fixing retail prices of their productd; now it was using the de- laying device of sending it to com- mittee hearings. ~ As the debate erupted, it' produc- 8 ed the second recorded vote of this fall session. John Diefenbaker (PC -- Lake | Centre), the chief Progressive Cone servative critic of the government move, prompted the vote when he moved an amendment aimed at giving the committee power to range through the whole of the government's anti-combines legis lation. : Speaker Ross Macdonald ruled it out of order on the ground no prior notice was given, and the Progres= sive Conservatives appealed.
