Ford told an Ontario Supreme Court jury Wed-| nesday that Albert Gould, 45, {llegally manipulated the price and volume of trading of Cabanga Developments Limited stock so he could repay $454,000 in loans. Gould is charged with three counts of wash-trading Cabanga stock during May, June and July| of 1957, during when he pur-| chased effective control of the company with an $835,000 loan| from Max Tanenbaum, Toronto industrialist. Gould is also on trial for defrauding a New York brokerage firm of $315,615. | The all-male jury was advised | by Mr. Justice E. G. Thompson that the trial will likely take from three weeks to a month. In his 50-minute outline Mr. Ford traced Gould's financing the purchase of Cabanga at $2.85 a share. Mr. Ford said Gould was to re- pay $454,000, at a rate of $4,000 a trading day while he disposed of Cabanga stock. If Cabanga| stock fell below $2 a share the) ereditors could sell the stock put| up by Gould as security. DEALT IN NEW YORK He said Giuld then was in con- tact with a New York stock| broker and opened accounts in names of five associates inter- ested in DuiChasing Cabanga stock. He said" Gould told the broker he had in his possession $500,000 worth of gilt-edge U.S. securities and would buy Ca- banga stock with the proceeds Mr. Ford said the sale to the New York stock brokerage firm of Cabanga stock in fact came $500,000 of U.S. securities, which from Joray Holdings Limited ac- he did.

Duty-free shops would allow U.S. tourists to purchase im- ported goods in Canada without payment of usual Canadian cus- toms duty, excise and sales taxes. ATTRACT TOURISTS The association said the shops would undoubtedly be aiiractiyp to U.S. tourists but it was diffl- cult to predict 'whether they would make a worthwhile con- tribution to the trade balance be- tween the two countries. If tourists travelled inland they might delay buying until reaching the duty free shop on the home- ward trip.

But a British source quietly hinted that Western strategy doesn't end there, that a number of alternatives were considered and that one of these alternatives might include the presence of United Nations officials in Ber- lin. About a year ago Diefenbaker suggested, in talks with Britain's Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd that perhaps the UN could play a role in Berlin in a way that would satisfy both East and West to verify that both sides stuck to the terms of any agreement reached, THE CONDITIONS In advancing such a suggestion, Diefen b ak er emphasized that Russia would first have to bind itself and its associates to full freedom of access of West Berlin and agree to the UN presence being ¢ om ple mentary to the rights and obligations of the oc- cupying powers. Russia occupies East Berlin while France, Britain and the U.S. occupy the Western part of Russia says these Western troops are a threat to peace and has pro- posed Berlin be turned into a free city under United Nations spon- sorship. This the West will not accept though President Eisenhower has described the present Berlin situ- ation o 'igh - '" h { that West Berlin would be d cult to defend in the event of any new war. But Eisenhower has assured West German Chan- cellor Adenauer there will be no yielding of ground in that city and that the freedom of its 2,000, 000 citizens will be defended. It is known Britain favors the Canadian idea though perhaps bit less enthusiastic. In any case the suggestion was aired and not rejected. The evi- dence points to the likelihood it may be moved into prominence the U.S. and France may be a] when the time comes for hard bargaining among Eisenhower, Prime Minister Macmillan, |French President de Gaulle and Soviet Premier Khrushchev.

At an arraignment hearing Monday detective Elmer Brooks testified Jackson, apartment hunting, learned that Miss Delisle soon would be transferred to the Canadian consulate in Brussels, Belgium, and that her apartment would be vacated.

IMPACT SPELLED OUT The impact 100,000 or more acres of sunflowers could have on the economy of southern Alberta in 1960, is spelled out in a com- parison with last year's sugar beet crop. In 1959 sugar beets were grows on the irrigated lands of the south on about 35,000 acres.

The forecast covers the 78 hour period from 6 p.m. Judging by the experiences of the last two years--the first of sunflower production on a com- mercial basis--100,000 acres of sunflowers in 1960 would returm south Alberta growers approxi- mately $7,000,000 on the initial payment at the rate of 3% cents a pound. Subsequent payments would bring the over-all return to the growers closer to the $10,000, Thursday to midnight Sun- day. The highway death toll for the Easter holiday last year was 35.
