The defence counsel and Crown attorney sat below him, using rickety card tables in Place of the usual oak desks found in most Ontario court- rooms. : Many of the 700 spectators wandered about freely, smoking in the aisles and purchasing soft drinks. One defendant was ordered to stop smoking. Another, in the front row, slept through most of the testimony. The unusual scene came Tues- day when 242 loggers went on trial on charges of unlawful as- sembly resulting from a_ vio- lence-ridden woods strike dur- ing which three strikers were killed and nine others injured. The trial is being held in the Strand Theatre in this Northern Ontario community about 100 miles northwest of Timmins. It is the only building in the area capable of holding such a crowd. Many of the spectators were friends or relatives of the ac- cused. The trial opened at 1 p.m. and adjourned at 5 p.m. Soon afterward, a crowd, in- cluding some of the defendants, filed into the theatre to watch the movie Term of Trial. During the afternoon Magis- trate W. S. Gardner of Timmins repeatedly called for order. One spectator was ejected when he shouted objections to the cross- examination of a witness. Provincial police identified 20 men as the trial got under way. Ahead of them lies the task of identifying each of the defend- ants, all of whom pleaded not ity as men who participated an attack on an independent settlers' camp here Feb. 11 .The trial is expected to last another two days.

"You have to tie the evidence to these men, each of them," Magistrate Gardner said, ing to the defendants. "'Other- wise, it is very unjust as far as these men are concerned." He dismissed an objection by Defence Counsel John Brooke of Toronto when Crown Attor- ney F. A. Caldbick of Timmins sought to introduce evidence of: intimidation by the strikers prior to the raid at the Val Rita co-operative camp at Reesor Siding, 37 miles west of here. Mr. Caldbick argued it was impossible to decide whether assembly was unlawful unless all the background leading up to it was submitted. Detective - Sergeant William Murray said his main work dur- ing the strike was investigating reports of intimidaton, but he was unable to gather suffcient evidence to lay charges. Const. F. R. Ware, senior of- ficer on duty the night of the raid, said he had noticed an un- usual buildup of cars in Opasa- tika, halfway between Kapuska- sing and Reesor Siding, and he radioed a warning to all squad cars and police at the settlers' WESTMINSTER ABBEY SCENE PEARSON TA INTERNAL ST BANGKOK, Thailand United ' States here today.

Election officials say 34,198,- 716 Italians are eligible to vote Sunday and Monday for the new parliament. Campaigning in Italy's fourth post-war election ends Friday night. It is the first national election since 1958 and will determine whether the centre-left coalition government formed by Premier Amintore Fanfani a year ago will survive. Fanfani calls his coalition, led by his Christian Democrats and backed by Pietro Nenni's left- wing Socialists, "'an opening to the left." The right--Fascists, Monarchists and Liberals--say it is really an "opening to com- munism."" Communists, who won 22.7 per cent of the vote in 1958, say it is a phony leftist movement. Christian Democrats, cam- paigning on a platform tied to the western alliance, lacked a parliamentary majority in the outgoing parliament. ; Marina, mother of the bride, in a stunning copper-colored outfit that glittered in the arc lights.
