The associgtion, whose member- ship includes 104 of the 135 privat- ely - owned radio stations in Can- ada, presented a 160,000-word brief to the Commons radio committee. It recommended that: 1. The department of transport continue-to license and police 'the use of the broadcasting channel. number "subsidized government service." 3. All other physically usable channels be offered $0 Canadian citizens for '"'general non - sub- sidized use." 4. There be a complete elimina- tion of the radio licence fee "which is a tax on knowledge, a tax on the right to listen and therefore a serious limitation on a very fundamental right." 5. "Non - subsidized, non-gov- ernment licences of channels, have security of tenure subject to com- pliance with the general frame- work of the law of the land, in- cluding equitable expropriation where the public interest may re- quire this." ' 6. There be eliminated "control of news and other programs over non-CBC stations by a government agency (CBC) as at present," and that radio be made subject only to the same laws as printed pub- lications. 7. A separate regulatory body not connected with any broadcast- ing system be established to con- ul radio and television in Can- ada. 8. Persons engaged in broad- casting and telecasting be given full opportunity to be heard by such a regulatory board on mat- ters directly affecting them. 9.

FINANCIAL PROPS REMOVED Representatives of financial hous- | es | who were present said that the reason that offers were down by five and six per cent from the normal offer that the City of Oshawa received was because the Dominion Government, in an effort to stop inflation by restricting credit, had removed some of the financial props in support of the Canada 'Savings Bond. Inasmuch as that security was the base upon which all others in Canada were based there had been a recession i n the market. Several alternatives to accept- ance of this low price were made. Alderman Evelyn Bateman sug- gested that the issue be put on the market locally and that Oshawa (Continued on Page 2) SHIPBATTERED AS GALE HITS EAST COAST Halifax (CP)--A )--A United States trawler with 10 men aboard, bat- tered by a howling sou'easter, was "more than holding its own" to- BORROWED MONEY day in the stormy Atlantic 90 miles | southwest of here.

TUCKMAN Munsan, Korea (AP) -- Truce | negotiators signed an agreement |on a Korean cease-fire line today widely different ideas on how to put a cease-fire into effect. United Nations' delegates pre- sented a seven-point plan for super- vising an armistice. It included provision for joint Allied - Com- munist inspection teams with "free access to all parts of Korea." The Communists did not mention either inspection teams or super- vision behind enemy lines in =a five-point plan they submitted. They have consistently refused to let outsiders enter Red Korea. The Communists asked for an adjournment until 11 a.m. Wednes- day (9 p.m. EST Tuesday) to study the U.N. plan. The agreement does not halt the fighting. Agreement first must be reached on three other clauses -- supervision of the armistice, ex- change of prisoners, and recom- mendations to governments. Each can be as troublesome as the cease-fire line, The U.N. sought to speed settle- ment of the remaining points by CEASE FIRE (Continued on Page 2) Peel Ditches Hotel Guests Slide Down Ropes to Escape One man is believed dead in the rwins of this hotel at St. Thomas, Ont.

Temperance Act or OLCA| Brampton (CP) -- CP -- Peel county voted yesterday to repeal the Can- ada Temeperance Act. Thus it comes under provisions of the Ontario Liquor Control Act. Returns from 77 of the 84 polls were: For revocation of the Cana- da Temperance Act, 9119; against, 6553. Officials said liquor stores and brewers' warehouses can be opened immediately in Toronto township, Toronto Gore township, Streets- ville and Port Credit. The rest of the county immedi- lately to the west and northwest of | Toronto is under local municipal |option and another vote will be re- quired before liquor outlets can be established elsewhere. Under . the Canada Temperance Act it is illegal to sell beer or li- quor, to keep them for sale or to transport them into the area for persanal use. But the Act con- tains 'no provision for prohibiting drinking in public places or prose- cuting for drunkenness. The CTA came into force in Peel county early in 1915. An effort to have it revoked in 1947 was de- feated by 557 votes.

The blast came about 2.45 p.m. when fire, which originated in the Koch Stationery Inc., on Bleury near the corner of St. Catherine-- one of Montreal's busiest inter- sections --reached an oil stove.

These plans for enlargement of the city school system were the subject of recent discussion by member of the Board and City Council delegates. The over-all plan was considered last night by the City Council in session and approved. Included were plans for several new schools two of which will have to be be- gun at once. Lipd by Chairman of Finance Alderman Finley Dafoe and City Property Chairman Clifford Har- man the four-man council deputa- tion had a friendly and co-opera- tive meeting with members of the Board of Education on Friday last. In contrast to some meetings which have, in the past, been had be- tween these two bodies 'this one was marked by a spirit of amity.

(CP) -- Six Lib- erals were assured of seats as counte ing continued today in Newfound- land's general election. Isaac Mercer was elected in Port de Grace and Health Minister J. R. Chalker in Harbor Grace, adding two more seats to the four Premier Smallwood's Liberals won by ac- clamation, f The Progressive Conservatives, meanwhile, protested the voting in at least two St. John's polls. They claimed the two polls were late opening yesterday and that sceres of voters had not been able to cast their ballots when the polls closed sharp at 8 pm. - The party did not indicate what further action it planned in the matter.

Plans were formulated and last week special City Council met to disuse Plans were laid on a survey v recently completed by School In- spector T. R. McEwen. That sur vey included figures up to Novem- ber 1 and was based on informa~ tion from the city assessment rolls. "That survey showed that the most pressing need was in the College Hill area and that the second most urgent need was in the Taylor Avenue district", said 8S. G. Saywell, chairman of the Board of Education, in an inter. view today. Lack of sewerage facilities will be experienced in all sites but the Taylor Avenue one and that is where building of the new schools is to start. Negotiations are being conducted for the purchase of a site in the College Hill district and an announcement on purchase pro- gress will probably be made on Monday. Of the six classroom and kinder-, garten type the Taylor Avenue and College Hill district schools will, it is expected, be competed and ready for use in September, 1953. Because its present site in Stevenson's Road is too far south to meet education requirements the Board is to dispose of it. It will obtain a new site early in the New Year. As soon as the four new schools -- epost as yet undis- closed -- are ready for use two of the city's old schools are to be closed. They will be the little schools at Thornton's Corners and Bloor Street West. In the latter the school is a one-room affair but Board officials pointed out that both would have to remain in use NEW SCHOOLS (Continued on Page 2) BIG 3 READY T0 MEET RUSS IN ARMS TALK Paris (CP) -- The U.S., Britain and France are ready to meet Russia in a special committee to attempt to reconcile their proposed methods of world disarmament, a U.S. spokesman said today.

The U.S. spokesman said that while the Big Three were in broad agreement on the idea, the U.S. reserved the: right to suggest changes in the wording of the resolution. Afghanistan, Indonesia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have declared their backing for the motion, ori- ginally sponsored yesterday by Pakistan, Iraq and Syria. India also tentatively -- but not formally --suggested a similar course of action yesterday.
