KENNETH FLETCHER y Correspondent HARMONY -- Mail boxes on the RR2 route in Oshawa are serving a dual purpose. In addition to being letter jJeseplacios they are also being put to good use by nesting birds. This week skeptics had to be con- vinced of the facts of acase where a bird stole letters from a box and flew' off with them. But now " an even better story has came from the Harmony district. On Wednesday Mrs. -Reg Luke, who lives off the highway just west of Hart's Hill, cleared an ac- cumulation of twigs from her mall- box. When she went to collect her letters the next day, there was a full-sized nest in the box -- com- plete with one egg! Mrs. Luke pays a daily visit to help her neighbor, O. C. Lander who has been ill. She told the suf- ferer that he could have a new- laid egg for breakfast, but didn't . serve him. The mail carrier on the Harmony route reports that birds nesting in mail boxes are common along his route. To Hold Inquiry Into Jail Riot QUEBEC (CP)--Premier Dup- lessis promises a full inquiry into Montreal's Bordeaux jail riot and tighter legislation on the sale of butter substitutes in Quebec prov- ince. During his regular weekly press conference yesterday he said a preliminary inquiry is being con- ducted now in the Montreal jail uprising last Sunday and, Monday. The responsible rioters, "Whoever they may be," will be punished and reforms, if necessary, will be made. 4 In Tokyo, commander, Gen. Matthew B. | Ridgway, angrily told a press con- ference the kidnapping "is a situ- ation of the Communists' own creation." In the Panmunjom truce session, North Korean Gen. Nam Il, chief Red .delegate, referred to two Red-inspired riots at Koje pre- viously and declared "yet another massacre will be carried out against thle barehanded captured personne] have taken advantage of to be tolerated." Vice-Admiral senior U.N. command delegate, replied: "The U.N. Command has always attempted -to exercise humane methods. Some .of these captured personnel have takan advantage of these humane policies, have insti- gated riots and violence among themselves and now have seized the camp commander whom they are holding hostage.

NO PROGRESS MADE Only one. minute of the 12- minute session today was devoted to actual peace talks, deadlocked over the issue of prisoner repatria- tion. No progress was reported. The prisoner issue is bogged down over the Allied stand that no prisoner be forcibly repatriated. 70,000 of 169,000 Red prisoners held by the Allies have expressed a desire to return to Communist teyritory. The Reds want all their want to go back or fot. Nam delivered his tirade as the armistice talks entered their 11th month.

Bombing Trip Halts Presses DETROIT (AP)--An gnonymous bombing tip halted the presses of the Detroit Times yesterday and sent frightened employees scurry- ing into the street. Reporter Russ Fuller received the bomb threat by phone. The tipster said a hidden time bomb would go off in the Times at 4 p.m. EDT. Police ordered the building evac- uated. The deadline passed; detec- tives found nothing. OFFICIAL VISIT Next Wednesday will be the next official visit by the Department of Transport to the Oshawa Airport. Throttled VANCOUVER (CP)--Dr. J.G.G. Xerry of Port Hope, Ont., said yes- terday the Federal government . made its biggest mistake on the 8t.

The engineers were told they were to study only work improve- ments up to a certain limit. not allowed to investigate." Declares Engineers On Plans For St. Lawrence Dr. Kerry,-who was honored with an honorary life membership in the Engineering Institute of Canada in convention here, said another big problem was ice formation. "It is one of the biggest prob- lems in the building and running the seaway successfully. It is something that has never been studied officially in a broad way." | The 85-year-old consulting engi- |neer and an authority on the pro-| '"This happened to be a depth of | posed seaway, said he had been 30 feet.

Some research officials say fully 90 per cent of the fresh outbreaks can be traced to imported ecar- casses, chilled or frozen.

Germany, France, Denmark and The Nether- {lands have been particularly hard I hit. pork--about 40,000,000 pounds this year--to the United Kingdom. Sim- ilar quantities of frozen beef and pork Britain has ordered - from New Zealand will be credited to Canada for sale in the United States. MAY LOSE MONEY The agreement is an emergency move to dispose of surplus meat as result, of the United States embargo imposed 'after an out- break of foot-and-mouth disease in south Saskacthewan. Canada likely will lose money on the deal. It will cover approximately 30,000,000 pounds of beef and about 10,000,000 of pork. The arrange- ment is for this year only, but Canada hopes the U.S. market will be restored before the year is over. Under U.S. law the Agriculture Secretary can lift the ban 60 days after he is satisfied that the Cana- dian outbreak is eradicated. The barter deal is complicated and requires a lot of bookkeeping. Canada will ship meat to Britain and receive a slip of paper saying she owns a similar quantity of New Zealand meat. Britain will pay Nw Zealand for the meat at normal contract prices. New Zealand will sell the meat in the U.S. and hand the proceeds to Canada. The price structure in the U.S. is a lot higher than in Britain and it is likely the New price than in Britain. Considering this, Canada likely will apportion a share of any difference between the U.S. and British price to New Zealand. TO HELP UK. Britain may get some advan- tage, too, though the complicated move may upset meat-delivery plans. Since Canada is closer geo- graphically to Britain than New Zealand she will get meat a lot faster and in larger quantities during the summer shipping season. As for Canada, the move, said Mr. Gardiner, will help maintain beef floor prices and, of course, MEA' TE.

Mr. Sinclair, married with four daughters, said income tax rates are heavily weighted against bach- elors. But they had a better ability to pay than men with wives and families. It was desirable 'that most bachelors settle down to a happy married life'" and the pres- ent taxation system gave that en- couragement, "Perhaps," he said, oid farmers in the end will marry their housekeepers and enjoy the benefits | both socially and through the tax return of marriage." The question of bachelor farmers was brought up by Robert Fair (SC--Battle Rive) who thought | they should be allowed to deduct the wages of their housekeepers as a farm expense, Gen. Excuses Death March TOKYO (AP)--A Japanese gen- eral's version of the Bataan death march currently appearing in a Tokyo magazine blames "pam- pered" American soldiers and a lack of trucks and food for the in- famous "death march" of ten years ago. The account, appearing in the Hanasi (Story) magazine for June, is by former Lt.-Gen. Susumu Morioka. Morioka's story is one of the articles now beginning to appear in the Jdpanese press now that the country is free again. "I have no intention of condem- | ning American statements that the Japanese Army let American pris- oners of war go hungry and forced '| trumpetted it for propaganda." latest in a series of freely-critical | them to walk night and day a dis- | tance of 15 ri (36.5 miles)" he said.

Morioka said the Japanese took "emergency measuies" to get the prisoners back to a. town called San Fernando "where we thought we could feed them."

Later fire- fighters from the Royal Canadian School of Artillery arrived on the scene together with men from Bloomfield fire department five miles away. A dance was held in the School last night. Atomic Engine Seen Possible VANCOUVER (CP) -- Possible atomic developments in the field of transportation were seen last night by N. R. Crump, of Montreal, vice-president of the Canadian Pac- ific Railway. "It is quite within the realms of possibility that within our time atomic engines may prove practic- able and economical for commerc- ial transportation," Mr. Crump said in an address to the 66th annual meeting of the Engineering Institute of Canada. The days of the pioneer developer are not over, he said. . "The glamorous days of span- ning a continent and laying rails through the Rocky Mountains may be gone, but the search for quicker, | safer and more comfortable and more economical means of trans- portation continues.'

SEOUL, Korea (AP) -- 'The United States Eighth Army announced tonight that Brig.-Gen. Francis T. Dodd has been released--in good 'health and good spirits--by Communist prisoners of war on Koje Island. Dodd, then commander of prison camps on the island, was seized | by Red prisoners Wednesday as he conferred with them at the gate of Compound 76. An Eighth Army statement said the general's release came after a meeting of Communist ringlead- ers of the compound. It was atten- ded by prisoner leaders from the other compounds on the island. READY TO USE FORCE The conclave of Communist P.O.W, leaders came after Gen. James A. Van Fleet, U.S. Eighth! Army commander, made it clear he was preparing to use force if the general were not released un- harmed. The terms worked out at the con- ference of Reds were not imme- diately disclosed. For three days, the Reds heid Dodd prisoner, meanwhile negotia- ting with him for settlement of the prisoner's grievances. American meals were passed in to the general and he was allowed free use of the telephone inside the compound. Over this telephone he asked camp authorities to re- frain from using force to get him out until the Red leaders had completed a list of their demands. The army said they had granted some of the Red demands--*'minor requests' which included use of a telephone, writing paper and the admittance of prisoner leaders from other compounds on the island. Approximately 80,000 Reds are held on the island -- most of them are among the 70,000 prison- ers who have said they will re- turn to Communism. Koje has been the scene of two bloody earlier prisoner riots. Crammed behind the barbed wire are many Red die-hards who deni-| onstrate, shout and sing Comu- nist songs.
