Modest Great Canadian Is Thanked By Citizens All too often in the hurly-burly of modern life the finer things are overlooked and it is not until too late the realization comes that tribute should have been paid to one who has been a leader, counsellor and worker for the public good. The Oshawa Rotary Club in staging an honor night for its honorary member, Col. R. S. McLaughlin, at Hotel Genosha last night, made sure that honor was paid where it is richly deserved.

Said Miss Kitt: "I can't under- stand it. I'm just an innocent little girl, I didn't think it was possible to shock polticians." And said Powell: "What did they expect, church hymns? It was only a little bit sophisticated." Councilman Don Allen also found fault with the Andrews Sisters. Preston Hotchkiss, the city's of- ficial Brester: observed: "I didn't think it was top quality, but I ddn't see anything especially bad about it. You can't please everybody.

The walls of the dining room were draped with ns I flags as a background for a large, illuminated oil painting of Col. McLaughlin which was loaned by Gehera} Motors of Canada, Ltd., for the occasion. Large seven- candle candelbras set off the head table; while large bouquets of yel- low, baby chrysanthemums around the walls and smaller bouquets of mums of various colors on the tables lent a touch of beauty.

Beaverbrook's Slaps Defence LONDON (CP)--The Daily Ex- press reacted angrily today to ritain's alleged "'exclusion'" from last week's defence talks between Prime Minister St. Laurent of Ca- nada and President Eisenhower of the United States. The right-wing newspaper, a con- stant booster of Commonwealth causes, said editorially: 'What would be the respense of Britain if Canada were suddenly threatened with war? Ni in . . . all the resources of the land would be at once thrown into the conflict. "In those circumstances you would imagine that the defence of Canada would automatically Ee a matter for consultation with Brit- ain, Daily Talks NO SEAT FOR U.K.! | "But mo!

Locals Swe eping Up Fair Awards Ontario and Durham County fruit growers, cattle, sheep and horse breeders, and even owners of goats» took a substantial share of the prizes in the judging completed at the Royal Winter Fair up to Mon- gay afternoon.

And humorously; "While I do not carry a union card, I have laid the stone the best I could. This occasion was really brought about by a good citizen of ours, Tom Wilson (a member of the Library Board and Publish- er of The Times-Gazette). One genuine pleasure it gives him to "leave a memento' behind in my beloved town." He recalled that he moved to Oshawa from Ennis- killen with his parents at the age of four and that he has always loved this city; always held it up to the skies and always shall. Mr. McLaughlin paid trib- ute to the skill of the archi- tect and expressed appreciation to the city council which donated the site -- now part of Oshawa's civic centre which includes three magnificent new buildings -- the LAYS STONE (Continued on Page 2) GM Workers Going Back | General Motors' employees are gradually being called back to work as the plant's annual model | change layoff slowly comes to an end. The assembly line for the new truck model has now begun opera- tions. Six hundred truckline men are back at work. These men were the first to be laid off when the model change period began at the end of last month.

Shots Fired in Toronto Bank | TORONTO (CP) -- Two shots |were fired at manager Alfred | Battler today when a lone gun- | man held up the Canadian Bank of | Commerce branch at mid-central | Bay and Wellesley streets and es- 'caped with $1,900.

Stalin's Body Goes on Show MOSCOW (AP)--Thousands = of people marched across snowy Red square today to file through the Lenin-Stalin tomb and get their first look at the enbalmed body of Joseph Stalin. It was the first pub- lic opening of the tomb since the Soviet leader died in March. Red square was blocked off to all except those holdng passes for the first day's three-hour showing.

Roland Seguin, 20, Jean Croteau, 20 and Gerard Despart, 17, all of the Ottawa area, were convicted of the armed robbery of an Eastview taxi driver last Nov. 6. The robbery had netted them $16.

As the three were led away from the court room, Despard told a re- porter: "Write this up good. I may serve as a lesson to keep oth- young fellows out of trouble like this." FAIR (Continued on Page 2) BANQUET jel second and third single box North- rn Spy, second 9-box lot Delicious and Sports, first 9-box lot Northern By JACK BELL y WASHINGTON (AP)--In an at- mosphere charged with political thunderheads, Attorney - General Herbert Brownell prepared to re- ply today to former president Tru- man's assertion that Brownell "lied to the American people" in the Harry Dexter White case. Truman said in a coast-to-coasf radio-television broadcast Monday night that he permitted White's appointment as United States di- rector of the International Mone- tary Fund to go through in 1946 to keep from exposing an FBI in- vestigation of an alleged espionage ring. Brownell was to go before the Senate internal security sub-com- mittee this afternoon (2 p.m. EST) with what aides called a "com- prehensive statement" in support of his charges that White was kept in a sensitive government job des- pite FBI reports to the White House describing the appointee's "espionage activities." Half an hour later (2:30 p.m.), the hearing was scheduled to be thrown open to the public, press and radio-TV coverage. | POLITICAL REACTION | Truman's fighting response split political reaction squarely. Demeo- crats, including some who have " » ri Brownell Ready Deny Liar Tag been critical of him in the past, rallied around the former presi- dent. Republians scoffed at his defence, promised more disclosures to come. Leonard W. Hall, chairman of the Republican National Commit- tee, termed false Truman's asser-- | tion that the organization had worked - "hand glove" with Brownell on the White case. He said the committee learned of Brownell's original Chicago speech on the subject only 10 minutes before it was made Nov. 6. Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, chairman of the Senate Republican policy committee, fol- lowed Truman on the air Monday night to declare that if the former president was aiding FBI investi- gations in the White case there remained unanswered questiens as to why he had labelled congres- sional probes "red herrings." Chairman William E. Jenner (Rep. Ind.) of the internal security sub-committee said that group is "interested only in fact and is not concerned with political by- play." "We intend to make a complete record in the White case . . . and let Congress and the American people be the judge of what the true facts are."
