The UN command asked for today's liaison session after the Reds said Wednesday they were ready to resume the full truce talks, which were recessed June 20 after Rhee ordered the release of some 27,000 anfi-Red North Korean war prisoners. UN generals and statesmen have failed to budge Rhee's insistence that the U.S. agree to resume the war unless a post-armistice politi- cal conference progresses toward unification of Korea in three months. Take Back Your Mink LONDON (AP) -- Britain's top trial judge counseled: Don't buy your wife a mink coat; if she already has one, get rid of it. Speaking at the annual dinner given by the lord mayor of Lon- gon, lord chief justice Goddard said: "For goodness sake, don't give your wives mink coats. You will not 'be "able 'to 'sleep safely. And if you have given them mink coats you ought to change them for rabbit. "It is extraordinary how thieves get to know these things. If you have mink coats in your house you deserve to lose them." 4 Killed By Rat Poison - Woman Charged SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) -- Smiling Mrs. Caroline Grills, 63, chatted brightly with a policeman as she stood in the dock here today charged with the murder of four rsons during the last six years y feeding them rat poison. The plump, kindly-looking house- wife, wearing a light-blue dress and gray coat, showed no sign of emotion as the charges against | her unfolded in the packed court- | room. Defence lawyer E. N. Rowley said his client was "entirely inno- cent of all charges" and she was remanded in custody for a full hearing July 17. Her request for bail was refused. Mr. Grills was arrested Wed- nesday while out on bail on charges of administering thallium, a rat exterminator freely-bought in any drug store here, to two other women, While she was on remand, police took a bigger interest in the case and discovered traces of thaloium in two exhumed bodies 'and the ashes of another two. i They charged Mrs. Grills with the murder of the four, a man and three elderly women, and with in- tent to murder a second man, John Downey, 50, by administering thallium last April. Truck Dives ' On Fire BURLINGTON (CP)--One man was killed and another seriously burned near here today when their truck went out of control and crashed over a 20-foot culvert and burst into flames.

Three Men Hurt In Train Upset STITTSVILLE (CP)--Three men received slight injuries when three cars of Canadian Pacific Railways train No. 10, from Sudbury to Ot- tawa, were derailed about a mile west of this station at 8:30 EDT this morning, CPR officials said. The officials said two of the cars tipped over on their sides and one remained upright. They had no explanation of the derailment. Stittsville is about 20 miles west of Ottawa where the train was due at nine o'clock EDT. One of the injured, Carl Major of Montreal, had a head cut and officials said that as far as could be learned this was the most serious injury. The ambulance company which sent cars to the scene said none of the injured was in serious condition. They were taken to Ot- tawa Civic hospital. One of the cars derailed was a private car occupied by CPR as- sistant vice-president A. Lyle at the rear end of the train. Mr. Lyle was not injured. Liberals Hit Hard At Drew For "Foolish" Tax Promise Prime Minister St. Laurent charged Hon. George Drew, Pro- gressive Conservative leader Wed- nesday night with trying to scare Quebec voters into his camp. He said Mr. Drew is doing this by raising the "bogey'" of federal centralization of power, a recurring theme of the election campaign speeches of both Mr. Drew and Mr. St. Laurent. NATIONALIZATION / M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, said | $500, in Harris, Sask., that a govern- ment of his party would consider putting the packing house industry under public ownership to halt exploitation by a few firms which in effect form a giant monopoly." e said the CCF also would establish a national livestock board, representative of producers of all provinces, which would set 'just and adequate" floor prices for livestock. - While Mr. St. Laurent was cam- paigning in Winnipeg, Mr. Drew | returned to his home constituency | of Carleton which includes pagts of | Ottawa. At a public meeting In the | capital, Mr. Drew said a govern- ment of his party is'the only one | that would cut taxes and open the books on the "waste and staggering inefficiency" of the Liberal govern- ment. FOOLISH PROMISE Mr. Drew also received some attention in speeches by two Lib- eral cabinet ministers--Transport Minister Chevrier and External Affairs "Minister Pearson. The former described as "foolish and ridiculous" Mr. Drew's promise of ,000,000 in tax cuts, Mr. Pear- son said the promise is an unreal and artificial one which does not stand up to analysis. Trade Minister Howe said in Halifax that Progressive Conser- vative trade policies would bring prohibitive duties and shrinking markets abroad. GIVES INDIAN TITLE Health Minister Martin took a similar line to Mr. St. Laurent's, using different tactics. He said at a Bruce peninsula Indian reserva- tion that Mr. St. Laurent deserves the title Great White Father be- cause he doesn't try to get the members of the Canadian family fighting among themselves. Mr. St. Laurent said Mr. Drew Mercy Appeal Failed; Gunman Beats Gallows VANCOUVER (CP) = Convicted murderer Walter Pavlukoff, under sentence of death, took his own life in a cell at Oakalla prison Wednesday by plunging the sharp- ened end of a spoon into his heart. The 40-year-old killer robbed the gallows 10 minutes after his lawyer told him his appeal against exe- cution had been rejected by the British Columbia court of appeal. Pavlukoff had been sentenced to be hanged July 28 for the murder of bank manager Sydney Petrie in 1947. He was captured in a Toronto suburb last January after eluding police for more than five years. Warden Hugh Christie said guards were nearby when Pavluk- off stabbed himself with the im- provised e. "The handle was quite small, barely half its normal length," Christie said. "But it was long enough to go between his ribs and pierce his heart." Lawyer Harold Fisher said Pav- lukoff appeared in -good spirits after being told his appeal had been rejected. "He gave no indication of what he was going to do." Pavlukoff's suicide brought to a sudden end a case that began on a hot afternoon in August, 1947. At precisely 3 p.m., closing time of the Kitsilano branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, a hollow-cheeked g unm an walked into the bank. Seconds later, manager Sydney shot through the chest. He died in hospital later that night. The murderer escaped without any money. The next day, « warrant was issued for Pavlukoff's arrest. For | the next five years he was well up on the RCMP's list of most- wanted eriminals. His capture in North York came as the result of a tip to police from a salesman who recognized Pavlukoff from a picture. Pavlukoff offered no resistance when picked up on a street corner and soon was en route to the coast to stand trial. He had worked in Torofto for Petrie lay in front of his desk, some years as a carpenter, living in an obscure rooming house. 'hopes to frighten people in my province with a bogey and to get their support by appealing to their fear of being dominated by other parts of Canada." NO RED BAN Referring to Communist activity, Mr. St. Laurent said he urges no statutory ban as proposed by Mr. Drew. Rather the policy should be one of vigilance backed up by a strong economy to destroy com- munism's breeding ground--pov- erty. In Ottawa, Mr. Drew said the Liberal government cannot pretend it has shown any concern for the little taxpayer. The tax cuts prom- ised by his party would be. of most benefit to pensioners and people on small incomes by meeting the problem of sales and excise taxes on necessities. BETTER DEAL Mr. Drew renewed his pledge of permanent status for "many thou- sands" of civil servants now clas- sified as temporary. He said he is prepared to stand on his record of dealings with the civil service as premier of Ontario. At Winnipeg, State Secretary Jack Pickersgill came up with a unique confession for a cabinet minister. He said he once was a Conservative, not a Liberal. But he changed his mind about 27 years ago because Conserva- tives advocated high tariffs, racial discrimination and reluctance to goo. Canada become a really adult ion.

By TOM REEDY BERLIN (AP)--The Communists lifted the Iron Curtain before riot- free Western travel into the Rus- sian sector of the divided city for the first time since open rebellion brought tank-enforced martial law three weeks ago. Border crossers said 16 major factories in ' the Soviet section still were affected by sitdown strikes which broke out Wednesday to demand release of workers ar- rested in the June 17 revolt. Ap- parently the strikers put little cred- ence in the government's announce- ment Wednesday night that the '"'great majority" of these had been released. Reports from the east zone out- side Berlin indicated dozens of plants in Jena, Magdeburg, Leip- zig, Halle, Brandenburg and Dres- en were hit by slowdowns.

Journal Says Killed Royal LONDON (Reuters) -- Tribune, left-wing political weekly, said to- day that the British cabinet had vetoed suggestion of a marriage between Princess Margaret and Group Capt. Peter Townsend, court attendant with whom her name- has been: linked romantically. It was announced last week that Townsend, 38, is to be sent to Brussels as air attache to the Bri- tish embassy after nine years of service in Buckingham Palace. Last year he divorced his wife after 11 years of marriage. Tribune, edited by members of Parliament who support Aneurin Bevan, left-wing Labor leader, de- c "Tribune believes that Princess Cabinet Romance Margaret should be allowed to make up her own mind whom she wants to marry. Most other people, we imagine, would agree with that simple proposition. "But the British cabinet does not agree. "According to our information, the cabinet was asked for its ad- vice on whether the Princess should be allowed to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend. The cabinet y said 'no'.

UNDREDS 6-Hour Wildcat Over 1 Foreman Oshawa people who depend upon buses for trans- portation, and who stood at stops in hundreds last night during a six hour cessation of service caused by a walk- out of 100 drivers, can take comfort today in the fact that both union and company officials feel that there will be no repetition. A jurisdictional dispute which has been | simmering for more than two days was settled by a tele- phone call between Dorland Windover, president of the Oshawa local, and N, Walford, general manager, CNR central region. A meeting has been arranged Railway Company is a subsidiary, and officers of Local 1255, Amal- gamated Association of Street El- ectric Railway Motor Coach Em- ployees of America. This confer- ence is expected to bring about an agreement. "EASILY SETTLED" Railway officials said today that the dispute was a jurisdictional one within the ranks of labor and with that statement Dorland Wind- | over agreed. He added that the company was at fault in failing to | live up to the terms of its agree- ment and that the niatter was | easily settled when the 'railway | agreed to the union's request. It was all over a company fore- man. The union charged that this man acted in direct violation of the Labor Relations Act and that he | should be suspended by the com- pany pending investigation. Such a suspension, the union argued, would have been quickly put into effect | in the case of a union member and should be speedily when a company employee was charged with an offense which, if proved, would mean his dismis- sal. OVER ONE MAN Negotiations have been 'in pro- gress for two days over the matter of this man's'suspension and yes- terday afternoon a prolonged meet- ing was held between the disputing partiess No agreement was reach- ed and at six o'clock about 100 drivers walked off the job.

During the meeting Mr. Wind- over and Mr. Walford got togeth- er on the telephone and came to an agreement. Mr. Windover said today that as soon as the railway official promised to suspend the foreman the men decided at once to go back to work. SIX-HOUR STOP Service was suspended, there-- fore, from six last night until mid- night when it normally comes to an end for the day. It was resumed this morning, however, at six o'clock. The question of wages, hours or working conditions were never in | dispute. The matter was simply whether or not the foremen would | or would not be suspended. The Public Relations Department of the Canadian National Railways | said from Toronto today that it be- lieved there would be no further interruption of bus service in the city. A spokesman said that he wanted to be very careful not to jeopardize in any way negotiations | between the company and its em- ployees and would only say, that it was "a matter of a jurisdictional dispute within labor's gwn house." Dorland Windover, ion presi- dent, said this morning that once he was able to get to top railway \Gificials the matter was soon setti- ed. _ "The union gained exactly what it asked.

Both said, however, that he is making such good recovery at his country home in Chartwell, Kent, that he may decide to postpone his resignation for a little longer. The Liverpool Post predicted his announcement would come within the next three months. The Post, a usually cautious, conservative newspaper, splashed the story on its front page under an eight-column headline.
