(CP)-- | CCF leader M. J. Coldwell said Saturday night he would favor Uni- ted Nations police action in Korea if the South Korean republic should become the aggressor after a truce. Mr. Coldwell, stumping through rural Saskatchewan on a federal election campaign tour, was re- plying to a question: from the flcor at a public meeting attended by 170 persons in this farming town 250 miles north of Regina. "I would be in favor of pre- venting Syngman Rhee from com- mitting any act « an,' ue said. "What ° e goose is sauce for the gander." | The statemci. der Mr. | Coldwell pledged ii 5 _ ..y to make a "genuine" move for peace in the world. He repeated assertions that the Korean war should have ceased and an armistice been signed when United Nations forces had pushed Communist invaders back to their original lines. He accused Gen. Douglas MacArthur, fired by for- mer President Truman as Far East commander, of "taking the bit in his teeth" by not waiting for UN. authority before pushing | past original boundaries. Mr. Coldwell said a CCF gov- ernment in Ottawa would try to negotiate with Russia but at the same time keep Canada strong. One of the first moves would be | recognition of the Chinese Com- munist government. In an obvious reference to the United States, he said: 'The lead- ing government of the world 'de- led a picnic supper party at Osh- [33 Liiewoat Sinks, 1 Drowned In Fog-shrouded Crash | PORT ARTHUR (CP)--A colli sion near the fabled Sleeping Giant sent a grain-laden Great Lakes freighter to the bottom of Lake Superior Saturday night and cost the life of one member of her crew. i : The Paterson Steamship Lines' Scotiadoc was rammed amidships by the Canada Steamship Lines' package freighter Burlington in heavy fog after both ships sought shelter along the north shore from heavy seas resulting from a storm during the day. The Burlington's bow was stove in eight feet by the impact but she was able to make Fort Will- iam, about 20 miles from the col- lision scene, after rescuing members of the Scotiadoc's crew of 30. Lost was Wallace McDermid, 39, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., who was hampered by a heavy steel polio brace. He was pitched into the rough water when a lifeboat was smashed while being lowered. Me- dermid, a porter on the Scotiadoc, clung to the ship's long line for nearly half an hour but finally dis- appeared. pe veteran of the Second World War and a former business man in Sault Ste. Marie, McDermid was fhending his second season on the lakes. He joined 'the Scotiadoc to be with another Sault man, his lifelong friend Clifford Humphreys, Mr. McDermid, single, leaves three brothers and three sisters. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Archie McDermid, live in Sault Ste. Marie. Humphrey said he blew the Sco- tiadoc's whistle just before the crash. Later he tried to get Mc- Dermid up a lifeline after the, sea- boat foundered. Both ships were reported equipped with radar. Officers of each are said to have known an- other ship was in the vicinity. Out of the fog off Trowbridge Island near Thunder Cape, popu- larly known as the Sleeping Giant, the cargoless Burlington loomed, headed at the side of the Scotia- started to spill out into the water | as the vessel took a sharp list. | Aboard the Scotiadoc, there was | little panic as the order to aban-| don ship was given, survivors said. | The starboard lifeboat was lowered | first from the high side of the list-| ing vessel but the list and the heavy seas combined to smash it as it hit the water. Five persons including McDermid and two women were thrown into the lake. They drifted astern where they managed to grab the trailing log line. Others from the smashed life- boat shidnied back aboard the Scotiadoc by means of the ropes used to lower the boat. Then the second seaboat was put over the port side. This boat, which eventually carried all the Scotia- doc's side. Some oars were broken but the boat itself landed in the rolling seas right side up. Then it was guided to the Scotiadoc's stern where four persons were res- cued from the log line. ' McDermid was farthest back on the line. He still was holding on as the seaboat came near but the line broke. Two of those who had spent more than 20 minutes in the cold water were Lillian Atkinson, 53, of Fort William, second cook, and Sophie Michasiw, 24, stewardess, also of Fort William. They later received hospital treatment for shock. An hour after the Burlington left the scene, the Scotiadoc still was afloat. A Royal Canadian Navy Fairmile searched the area all day Sunday and found no sign of the stricken vessel or of McDermid. A few weeks ago the United States freighter Henry Steinbren- ner, her hatch covers loosened in a storm and heavy seas, foundered and sank near Isle Royale in the same general area of Lake Super- ior with a loss of 10 lives. The Scotiadoc had a gross ton- nage of 4,424 and was commanded by George Morriss, 58, of Fort William. George Ward of St. Catharines is skipper of the 4.979-ton Burlington. BOWMANVILLE Representative--Donald Hend AND DISTRICT ry, 113 King St. E., phone 881 Mayor Pays Tribute To The Unforgotten BOWMANVILLE --Speaking on behalf of the Town at the Annual Decorasion Day Service Mayor Morley Vanstone urged citizens to dedicate themselves to the mem- ory of those gallant souls who died the pursuit of freedom. Said Mayor Vanstone: '"'We are gathered here to pay tribute to those who have died, and especial- ly to those who were so willing to risk their all in devotion to coun- try and loved ones." "I think that it is fitting that at this time we should remember we still have men and women serving our country, not only within our own borders, but in Europe and Korea as well. They are willing to do so because of the example and leadership shown by those we honor today. It is difficult to find words that are adequate to ex- press our gratitude to them. We owe them so much." z "During the past years in this community we have shared in the continuing prosperity of our coun- try. This has been possible to a great degree because of the con- tributions of those. who are buried in this cemetery." Then Mayor Vanstone urged that citizens renew their faith and con- tinue to live true to the glorious example set by the souls who had gone before, and said: "I feel that the highest tribute we can pay to these who have preceeded us is to turn to God, and ask His help in renewing our faith and confi- dence in each other, in order that we may work together, pausing at any time to lend a helping hand to those who need it." "We should live in such a way that we give our share, even though it may be small, to the fur- ther improvement and betterment of our community." "In this way can we keep faith with our ancestors, and leave a firm foundation for the next gen- eration to build upon." Memorial and Service Held At Cemetery BOWMANVILLE -- Annual Me- morial and Decoration Day serv- ices were observed yesterday at three o'clock in the Bowmanville | Cemetery. | The impressive service was spon- | sored! by His Worship the Mayor Morley Vanstone, the Bowmanville Ministerial Association, Town Counil, and Branch 178, Bowman- ville Canadian Legion, B.E.S.L.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, June 22, 1088 ¥ Even Everest Triumph Starts Hothead Feuding By PETER JACKSON KATMANDU, Nepal (Reuters)-- A bitter storm that may send a flood of anti-British feeling surging through Asia has been stirred up following the conquest of Mt. Ever- est. The great accomplishment of scaling the world's highest moun- tain is being obscured by contro- versy over who reached the top first--Tensing Bhutia, the Sherpa "tiger of the snows," or New Zea- lander Sir Edmund Hillary. It is understood that the dispute has already prevented Tensing from joining the victorious British expedition on its return to Eng- land. There were even unconfirmed press reports that Col. Sir John Hunt, leader of the expedition, had told Tensing he could not visit Britain unless he acknowledged publicly that Hillary reached the 29,002-foot summit first. Tensing appears anxious to avoid a public quarrel and other mem- bers of the expedition have tried to stress the team co-operation as- pect of the ascent. But local na- tionalistic hotheads continue to fan the flames. Rumors are travelling around Katmandu that the leathery-faced veteran Sherpa will turn down the George Medal offered him by Brit- ain. There have been angry mut- terings in Nepal and India that This ignores, nowever, Tensing's disputed nationality--Indian or Ne- - pali. Certainly if he is Indian he could not be a British "sir" im republican India, where titles have been abolished. Since returning here, Tonsing ha given four main versions who was actually the first man te reach the world's highest point: Himself, Hillary, the two "simul- taneously' and the two "almost together." . The latest statement was signed in the presence of Nepali Premier P. Koirala. It said: "On May 29th, when Everest was conquered, sometimes I was in the lead and sometimes Hillary. We reached the summit almost to- gether. I planted the flags of Nepal, Britain, India and the Uni- ted Nations. Hillary took photo- graphs." Earlier Tensing had gone on the radio to say that he and Hillary reached the top after their history- making climb "simultaneously." NEW Then followed a responsive read- ing of the 90th Psalm, 'Lord, thou | has been our dwelling place in all| generations," led by Rev. H. A. Turner. Rev. F. B. Fifield read from the Gosepl of St. John, and the hymn, "Rise Up, O Men of God," was sung by the people. Suitable prayers were read by HOMES FOR AJAX $1,985 sow Tensing should have been rewarded with a knighthood, as were Hil- lary and Hunt.

Alta. (CP)--The Duke of Windsor"s EP ranch in the Al- berta foothills, 65 miles southwest of Calgary, has gone back to com- mercial cattle raising. $ For 31 years after the then Prince of Wales bought the 4,000- acre ranch in 1919, it was a pure- bred stock farm, producing Short- horn cattle, Shropshire and Hamp- shire sheep, Clydesdale horses and thoroughbred running horses. | After the Duke visited the EP | ranch in 1950 with the Duchess of | Windsor, the property reverted to | commercial cattle-raising, its func- | tions before the Prince bought it from Frank Beddingfield. For years the ranch was man- aged by Prof. W. L. Carlyle. After "is resignation it was in charge of Pat Burns agencies and later Cana- dian Pacific Railway's land de- partment. When the Prince of Wales visited | Canada in 1919, he asked to see something of every type of indus- | try.
