STRIKERS UPSET Non-Union Men Walk Off; Unionists Cross Pickets Greatly disturbing to the trucker members of Local 880, Teamsters Union, who are picketing the Pigott Construction Company at the new General Motors plant on Park Road South, was the fact that yesterday afternoon forty non-union carpenters and other members of the building trades walked off the job while the union men members of the AF of L to which they also belong, remained at work. The "reason the truckers were irked was because they have been trying to gain the support of the union members of the building who are working on the new plant. The members of the allied trades violated the picket line the truckers put around the plant yes- terday morning and went to their Voters" List Revisions Will Be Held Next Week Following the publication of the preliminary list of voters in the various polling subdivisions in Osh- awa and Whitby, arrangements have been completed by Ralph A.

Sipce the Ontario Pro- jobs despite the fact that the truckerg' representatives had been meetind with them for the whole day previous in an effort to get their support. "As a matter of fact," said Ken- neth Lunnie, Teamsters Union or- ganizer who is handling negotia- tions for the truckers ," our boys took a very dim view of the union workers staying on their jobs while the none-union men walked out. We thought, reasonably enough, that it should have been the othe way around. However, we are grateful for the support of the men who did come out." There have been persistent rum- ors around Oshawa that General Motors of Canada Limited was | going to hire a fleet of trucks {from an outside point and bring | them in to haul the sand and grav- |el and cement mix that the striking | truckers have been bringing to the plant since construction began. This threat has never materialized | and the strikers are confident that {it will not.

George Drew, leader of the Conservative party, who his supporters are eonfident will be the next prime minister, will pay a short visit to Oshawa on Saturday, August 8. Announcement of the visit was made by John Rowe, president of the Oshawa Progressive Conserva- tive Association, at a gathering of arty workers in Hotel Genosha ast night. Mr. Drew is scheduled to deliv- er his closing address of the cam- aign in Ottawa in the afternoon, Bat Mr. Drew hopes to make a short stop in Oshawa and Whitby. Mr. Rowe said there will be no special ceremony or speeches. Mike Starr, PC candidate for this riding, made an appearance pear the end of last night's meet- ing. He was just back from a per- sonal tour of the farming district. Strike Twice In One Week TIMMINS (CP)---The manage- ment and the workers jockeyed for position Friday at the strike- bound Broulan Reef gold mines. One development overshadowed | another as the walkout over a wage | dispute went into its seventh day today. » More than 750 men are on strike at three mining companies in this rich gold-producing area of Por- cupine. The other walkouts are at Hallnor, adjacent to Broulan Reef, and Preston East Dome mines. The main Gerslopment 3 fhe day occurred in Toronto where Mr. Sustice 'Rene Danis PRL an injunction issued Wednesday by Mr. Justice R. W. Treleavan. The amendment permitted the United Steelworkers of America (CIO- from the illegal ten or eleven tons they' were carrying to a six ton |load they have not been able to !make a living, they say. | CCL) to use four pickets at each |of the three roads leading to the ! mine. Prime Minister St. Laurent icipalities like Oshawa, George (Hees, Progressive Conservative member for Toronto Broadview, | stated last night in a brief speech | to members of the city's Conserva- {tive organization at the Hotel Gen- | osha. | The Prime Minister is out of |industrial triangle extending from Showdown Put Off At Reds Request MUNSAN (AP)--A possible show- down meeting of Allied and Com- munist truce negotiators was post- poned for 24 hours today at the request of the Reds. The recess put off until 2 p.m. Sunday (1 am. EDT Sunday) an expected Red reply to re Allied demands that the Commun- ists sign an armistice now or face the prospect of a breakdown in the negotiations. The second consecutive 24-hour recess requested by the Reds was arranged during. a one-minute meeting of liaison officers at Pan- munjom. ' | North Korean Col. Ju Yon said | the delay was needed for "admin- | istrative reasons" and the United Nations quickly agreed, an official spokesman said. The extra day gives the Red high command more time to arrive at what may be a momentous deci- sion vitally affecting the chances for a quick end to more than three years of fighting. In Washington, U.S. State Secre- tary Dulles said Friday night '"'we are ready for honorable peace' in | Korea At the same time he de- |clared that "if the Communists | want war, we must be ready for ' that, too." | tario's industrial heart had no re- | presentation in the federal cabinet. | Therefore, St. Laurent was not con- | versant with the problems of in- | dustrial workers. {INSURANCE NEEDED | He did not know that taxes were | reducing the take-home pay far in polling sub-| touch with the whole of the great below what it should be; that houses and national health insur- ance were sorely needed. The Prime Minister did not in- tend to bring in health insurance, Hees declared. St. Laurent as much as said: "It's up to the provinces, if they want it we won't interfere." There had been plenty of oppor- tunity to put an industrial represen- tative in the cabinet. "Can you think of any better area to supply a minister, than this one?" the speaker said. But, instead Mr. Pickersgill, a civil ser- vant, was put in. JOB VACANT Now Mr. Fournier had gone to the Bench and there was another opening. But that position would be filled by anether civil servant if the Liberals win the election. "It's a 'grand' sight to see Uncle Louis handing out popsicles to the dear little kiddies. That's cheese- cake for the photographers. But this country has a right to expect more than that from their Prime | Minister." Hees Tells Local Tories Ontario Is Neglected is | Cornwall to Windsor to Owen Sound | not aware of the needs of mun- [Hees said, pointing out that On-| Hees told the workers, 'just what *You can explain to the people," | this $500,000,000 tax cut will mean. {It meant $170 saved per year by the average family." The PC's would bring in health insurance, he pledged. However, it would not be the state medicine type that Britain had RIGHT TO SECURITY The present plans could rematn. But everybody covered by some plan. Everybody in Canda has a right to security against the ter- rible burden of medical bills. In housing, the PC's would low- er the down payment from 20 per cent to 10 per cent. This would mean, Hees explained, that a four- bedroom house could be purchased on a $900 down payment and the carrying charges handled on a $55 a week wage. There would be 30 years to pay it off instead of 20. The PC candidate concluded by urging the workers to canvass on behalf of their member, Mike Starr. "It won't be as easy this time," he warned. General elections were much more difficult than by-elec- tions. Both he apd Mr. Starr were elected in by-elections. "It's the personal sort of can- vass that wins," he added. Mr. Hees was given a vote of thanks by John Rowe, president of the Oshawa Progressive onserv- ative organization. Drew's Train Here In a short talk, Starr likened the present government to a ship in mid-ocean made sluggish by cling- ing barnacles. The only way to re- move these barnacles is to put in- to dry dock and have them scrap- ed off, Starr declared. He expres- sed the hope that his party would be given the power to perform that operation. "When we say we are going to cut taxes by $500,000,000, we really mean it." LESS TAX "Furthermore," he said, "we favor raising the income tax ex- emption for married people to $3,- 000 and to $2,000 for single people." One session in parliament had been enough to convince him that the government had to be changed. Starr concluded. v Of Finding A Corpse MASSENA, N. Y. (AP)--The body of Robert Boyle, 44, of Mon- treal, was recovered from the St. Lawrence river today by a veteran river man--at a place he said he had dreamed it would be found. Boyle was drowned Sunday at | Whalen's Bay while trying to start an outboard motor. The engine started at full throttle and he was thrown into the water. William Cassleman, 70, the river man, said he had dreamt Friday night that Boyle's body would be found at Gibson's Point. Early this morning he boated out to the point and within a few minutes found the: body. . LONDON (AP). -- The Soviet Union -- with new trade pacts signed with France, Denmark and other Western E an nations-- appeared today to have launched in earnest her long-expected trade offensive, The trade manoevres part of lieved aimed at relieving the eco- nomic ills of the restive satellite nations now seething over lack of consumer goods. They are also ob- viously part of the Kremlin's plan to woo Western nations from eco- nomic and military ties with the United States. The French and Soviet govern- ments announced Friday they have signed a three-year commercial pact--their first since 1984, It calls for an exchange of 12,000,000,000 francs ($34,285,760) worth of goods Cope! en announced Denmark has signed eontracts to build five Trade Pacts Signed As Russia Woos West more cold-storage freighters for the Soviet Union within the next two years.

A board spokes- man said Russia has also offered to sell Britain manganese and chrome ores--two strategic metals used to toughen steel. Trade talks are going on between Soviet agents and British grain brokers under which Britain may buy 6,900,000 tons of wheat.

A provincial police spokesman said it was believed that a few scattered bones found 12 miles along a bush trail from an aband- oned truck were the remains of Eugene H. Lindsey, 45. He said this discovery gave no clue to the whereabouts of Lindsey's 17-year- old son, Richard, and a 20-year- old companion, Fred Claar, 20. He declared, however, that there is "very little possibility they are alive."

(CP) -- Provincial police officers em= erging early today from the mountainous interior of Gaspe peninsula reported the remains of only one of three visiting American hunters have been found, Their report from the scene of ® sey, confirmed the information given out by police directing the search. Claar said that Dr. Jean-Marie Roussel, Quebec government ex- pert in criminal investigation, told him that the bones found a short distance from an old logger's camp were the remains of only one man. Claar added that the medico- legal expert expressed the opinion the bones were those of a man of the elder Lindsey's age. Earlir reports brought out from the bush by searchers were that the remains of all three of the American hunters had been lo- cated. The reports, however, de- scribed the spot where the bones HUNTERS {Continued on Page ® By GEORGE MCARTHUR SEOUL (AP) -- Thousands of Chinese 'infantry supported by tanks and field guns today swarmed recklessly southward in daylight as the Communists boldly bolstered troops who smashed through the Kumsong bulge this week.

J. Coldwell yesterda, while George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, concentrated on Nova Scotia's South Shore. After a strenuous western tour, Mr. St. Laurent returned to his home riding of Quebec East. He fougd it even hotter there--97 degrees--than it had been on the Saskatchewan plains earlier in the week. 2,000 CROWD Speaking in French to an out- door audience of about 2,000 in Quebec's white-collar district, the prime minister said Mr. Drew re- presents himself as a champion of autonomy to "win votes in Quebec province." : He said the Progressive Conser- vative leader told Quebec voters recently that provincial t. y was threat "If such a threat existed I would be the first one to fight it," Mr. St. Laurent said. "I intend to do my share until my last breath to 'safeguard the autonomy of Quebec. But that does not mean that I intend to neglect the other prov- inces." HAVE A FLAG At 'another point, the prime min- ister put aside his notes "and brought up the subject of a na- tional flag: "Canada will have its own flag some day but it will have one when it will be a sign of unity and not a subject of quarrelling and dissension." Speaking of election promises, he said: "I will make but one prom- ise and that is to serve thé whole | population with the same care that | we bring to our own family ai- | fairs." i Earlier, he told a press confer- |ence that during his election tour {he has found "more unity than ever" in Canada. At Montreal, he told newspaper men the campaign is one of the quietest he had ever seen. BETTER OUTLOOK - On foreign affairs, he said to Montreal reporters: "I haven't been satisfied with the international situation for the last 12 years. But it's better now than at any time during the 12 years I've been in politics." Mr. Coldwell, addressiag a shirt- sleeved audience in a Montreal working class district, attacked Premier Duplessis' provincial gov- ernment '"'and the Fascists who are in power in Quebec."

(AP) Maude Adams, "Peter Pan" of the American stage, is dead at 80. Miss Adams, one of the greatest U. S. actresses, died . peacefully Friday in this Catskill mountain village. She had stayed here the last three years with Mrs. Mar garet McKenna. Miss Adams started her stage career at nine months, cradled in an actor's arms, and flowered in the plays of Sir James Barrie, Her performances as 'Peter Pan," the boy who never grew up, made stage history. Shy and girlish, she never mare ried and was cool toward men.

In 1931, when she was 59, she returned briefly to the stage with | Otis Skinner in "The Merchant of | Venice." i ~O¥D IW AEN
