MASS OF .. The building was located at the south side of the factory site' near the corner of Eulalie and Drew streets. It measured about 40 by core boxes, flasks, moulding frames | 100 feet and within a few minutes and a large quantity of belting, It was impossible today to obtain an estimate of the damage in the | fire which started from an unknown source but it is thought that it would run into several thousands of dollars. The belting was parti- cularly valuable. The alarm was received at the main hall at 2.59 o'clock and inside of a minute or two several pieces of the alarm was a seething mass |of flames. Before long the steel roof was all that remained of the wooden struc- ture and it sugged down on the | piles of moulding frames, some of them metal and some clay, which did not readily burn. Anthing that was inflammable went up in smoke within an hour of the time the fire started. About 1100 feet of hose were laid by firemen and in addition, sever- al lines were brought out of the plant and trained on the flames. Fortunately the buildings adjac- ent to the wcoden warehouse were of metal construction and there was little or no chance that they would be ignited providing a close watch was kept. Company officials were not avail. able today to place an estimate on "the damage. In fact, it was pointed out, it was be difficult to assess the amount of the loss until an examination was made of the moulding equipment in the shed which was not ruined by fire or water. Seven Are Homeless AsHomeBurnsDown Seven people were left homeless when fire swept through an awa home shortly before noon to- day. A blaze which started in the kitchen on 207 St. Julien Street raced through the clapboard dwell- ing and the family had to flee. In the house were Mr. and Mrs. Howard Davies and their three chil- dren, Jennifer, aged 14 months, er aged three and Rusty, aged . There were two other people staying with the Davies, Beverley McLure and John McLain. Mr. McLain was the first one to discover the fire and gave the alarm, Mrs. Davies was resting in| bed and had time only to put on a dressing gown and top-coat before leaving her flaming home. Miss M Clure carried the tiny. baby to safety. Two-way radio sets being tested in the fire hall were used to direct vehicles to the scene. Carrying high-pressure hoses into the house to smash down. the flames. Volunteers, directed by Mr. Dav- ies, helped to take out salvageable furniture which was placed on the front lawn. Sobbing bitterly, Mrs. Davies was comforted by neigh- bors. Residents in the house for more than five years, the Davies carry insurance. Celina And Albert One-Way Celina and Albert street. will be- come one-way thoroughfares at 2 p.m, on Monday. Workmen on Monday morning will erect the signs indicting the council-approv- ed plan which is going to be tried out for 60 days on an experimental basis. Planners claim that having north-bound traffic on Celina and south-pound on Albert will give the city the equivalent of a new double lane throughway. > Both streets will be one .way from Elm to King. Bert Wandless, secretary of the planning board, says the new scheme will material- ly assist the flow of traffi~ 21] the way frcm Elm to Bond. The one way roads coniinue 2aciCss nig on Ontario and Victoria. REDUCE BOTTLENECKS "Pub acceptance of these routeg" will reduce the bottlenecks that/ occur during rush hours at Streets the Four Corners and along Sim- | Queen Mary foe Street South," said Mr. Wand- ess. For example northbound traffic from the new GM plant on Park | Road south could travel on Park i Road, across on Gibb to Elm and north on Celina to Colborne be- fore cutting back into Simcoe Street North, thus taking heavy traffic out of the downtown busi- ness area. To get out of%he city southbound motorists could route their vehicles down Victoria and Albert to Elm and then across Gibb Street to Park Road and the 401 Highway. FOUR WAY STOPS For a trial period stop signs in both directions are to be erected |at the Athol Street junction with | Celina and the Bruce Street cros- |sing at Celina. Traffic experts say a four-way stop at these intersec- |tions will reduce the. accident | hazard.

Malenko, new Soviet prime min- ister who steps into Joseph Stalin's shoes, is not likely to be more conciliatory in his policy toward the West, judging from his past public pronouncements. An analysis of two major policy speeches made by the pudgy, round-faced party boss shows high spitting venom at American "'war- mongers," accusing U. 8S. leaders of introducing 'fascism' mot only in their own country but also in "enslaved" European countries, and warning that a third world war would spell the end of world capitalism. In other words, Russia's 'new leader says that irrespective of the outcome of another war, commun- ism would triumph and me world-wide after it. In the light of the fact that the Soviet Union now possesses the atom bomb, Malenkov has warned that a third world war would bring devastation to the American con- tinent, for the first time. He said in a major policy declar- ation in Moscow in November, 1949: "If there is a new blood bath, there will be weeping moth- ers also in America." Malenkov said in his last major speech in October tp the all-union Communist party congress in Mos- cow that the Soviet Union attached portant means for the maintenance of peace." But he charged U. 8, leaders with *'conyerting United Na- 2 0 tional co-operation it should have been, according to the UN ¢ y into an organ of United States dic- tatorial policy in the struggle against peace, and using it as a screen for its aggressive actions."

NEW PREMIER (Continued on Page 2) An Oshawa Boy Scout will: be marching in Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation procession. Troop Lead- er Don Grant, son of Mr. and Mrs. William L. Grant who lives at 50 Aberdeen Street, has been select- ed as one of the 32 Canadian scouts to go to London. Yesterday afternoon the Queen's Scout wrote his Frénch examina- tion paper at the OCVI. 'Nobody need be surprised if I fail. I only heard this wonderful news a short while before going to the exam room," said the excited youth yes- terday afternoon. It has been quite a week for Don Grant. On Wednesday he cele- brated his 17th nirthday. He is en- tertaining his grandmother, Mrs. E. L. Richardson, from Vancouver, and -it is the first time they have met in nine years. And then on top of everything else came the news that I was going to the Coronation. It is a marvellous honor for me." Don was one of two Oshawa scouts whose applications to attend the Coronation were considered at provincial HQ in Toronto. His pa- per went in early in February. "I'd more or less forgotten about it. It seemed too much to hope for and I didn't want to dwell on it too much. And now I've been chosen. I just don't know what to say." THIRTEEN FROM ONTARIO The 32 scouts representing Can-| ada will include 13 from Ontario. on and his companions will sail or England and the Coronation on May 22 and will be away for a month.

Long a close associate of the dead Communist chief, Malenkov had been considéred his likeliest successor, the host of other changes--appar- ently aimed at streamlining the Soviet administration--were neces- sary to assure 'uninterrupted and correct' leadership of the country and to prevent "any kind of dis- array and panic" following Stalin's death.

Pudgy, round-faced Malenkov. is an austere, orthodox Communist. When Stalin died he became the senior of the surviving nine Com- munist party secretaries. His first 'big job was under Stalin on the state defence com- mittee appointed in 1941 to wage war against Nazi Germany. He was the youngest of the five original members.

CARPENTER UNITED NATIONS, N.Y, (AP)-- UN delegates differed today whether the shift of Andrei Vish- insky from Soviet foreign minister | to chief Russian UN delegate was a demotion or presaged a new and tougher Soviet line in the world organization. The change was announced by the Kremlin Friday as Vishinsky sailed for home. Associates said the tough-talking Moscow lawyer received no advance word of the shift that put deputy premier V. M. Molotov in the top foreign ministry spot. Vishinsky declined comment on the Russian government changes-- including the selection of Georgi M.

Bu Malenkov, who is only 51, hag known nothing else since early adolescence. All his adult life, Malenkov been a Communist surrounded other Communists. From So diplomats, agents and the Coma munist press, Malenkov has pe force forced his picture of W ern citilization, of democracy an freedom and mankind's forw: steps and backward steps outside of Russia. The few foreign diplomats who have talked with him have comé away with one over-riding impress sion: Malenkov hates the Western world. Malenkov has been an effectiv: stolid, well - grooved SLE \ tactician. But as far as any one knows, he has never contributed anything new or original to Coms munist theory. Malenkov became top contendep in the successor-to-Stalin sweep stakes last October when he was chosen to make the keynote speech before the Communist party con gress. In the past, this chore ha seen handled only by the boss self. Little is known about Malenkov's private life. He is said to :have only one hobby--hunting. 0 Revenge Angle Seen Later, The Associated Press placed a shore-to-ship call to Vishe insky but was informed that the former foreign minister "is not | taking any calls and his secretary {does not wish to be disturbed." Some European delegates fame iliar with the Russians said Molo tov finally has his revenge on the They said o remove him from the Moscow cene. Molotov--once tagged by Lenin as a top-rate filing clerk--customs arily spoke disparagingly of Vishe insky as 'just a lawyer." These delegates said Vishinsky, known as a protege of L. P.
