The Pope had met with pres- idents ard prime ministers, sat in quiet discussion with leaders of eastern churches, and walked among the destitute as a com- mon ,pasior, weeping at the misery he saw. He left by Alitalia jetliner for Rome just before noon, Bombay e. Tens of thousands of Romans turned out to cheer the Roman Catholic Pontiff on his drive from Rome's Fiumicino Airport through the eternal city. At the airport were Mayor Amerigo Petrucci, Premier Aldo Moro and a host of city and church officials. HANG BANNERS Bannery were bung in pairs-- the Roman crimson and yellow, ---- the yellow and white papacy--from building societies gathered at street cor- ners with votive candles and torches to express their' devo- tion. to "Il Papa"--who is also Rome's bishop. Deeply moved by what he saw as he walked through Bombay's wretched slums, the Pope is- sued a plea to all nations Fri- day to halt the arms race and use at least part of the funds to help poor countries. His appeal, directed at re- porters in order to. mobilize public opinion around the world, said: "We entrust to you our spe- cial message to the world. Would that the nations could cease the armaments race, and devote their resources and en- ergies instead to the fraternal assistance of the developing countries. ASKS CONTRIBUTION "Would that every nation, thinking thoughts of peace and not of affliction and war, would contribute even a part of its expenditures for arms to a great world fund for the re- lief of the many problems of nutrition, clothing, shelter and of after building along the route. Members of Catholic Action medical care which affect so many peoples." During his last morning in India, the Pope visited several Bombay church congregations, including the Basilica of Mount Mary and St. Peter's Church. He also mingled for an hour with bishops of India. More than 75 of them were in Bom- bay from throughout the coun- try for the International Euch- aristic Congress, which occa- sioned his visit to India. At Mount Mary, the Pope was greeted by about 10,000 persons, including 4,000 who had marched 12 miles through the night after a penitential service recalling the 14 stations of the cross--points marking in- cidents on Christ's way to His crucifixion. Their solemn _ procession started shortly before midnight, and at the- start, Pope Paul himself carried a two-foot cross along the somber trail evoca- tive of man's sin against his Lord. At the end of the via crucis (way of the cross), the Pope intoned an apostolic blessing. Then Juiius Cardinal Doepfner of Munich led the pilgrimage off on its night-long march. Auto Insurance Hit By Grits TORONTO (CP)--The Liberal Opposition in the Ontario legis- lature accused the Robarts' gov- ernment Friday of neglect in not supplying its department of in- surance with the power to con- trol automobile insurance rates. The legislature's select com- mittee on automobile insurance has recommended twice in the last three years that the depart- ment be empowered to adjust rates it considers excessive, in- adequate, discriminatory or un- reasonable. The Canadian Underwriters Association. announced Thurs- day that automobile insurance rates will increase as much as 21 per cent in Ontario beginning Jan. 1. Other increases of vary- ing amounts will also go into effect in most provinces the same date. The Opposition said that a measure enabling the insurance department to adjust auto cov- erage rates it considers unrea- sonable has been on the statute books for about 30 years but has never been proclaimed. Attorney - General Art hur Wishart, who supervises the in- surance department, was not available for comment. ROYAL COMMISSION REPORT: "Coffin Was Justly Executed' QUEBEC (CP) -- A Quebec royal commission report re- leased Friday night upholds the conduct of authorities in the Coffin case and aims severe criticism at voices continuing to protest his innocence. The inquiry headed by Mr. Justice Roger Brossard of Que- bec Superior Court concluded there now is even more evi- dence pointing to Wilbert Cof- fin's guilt in the rifle-slaying of one of three United States bear hunters killed in 1953 near the Gaspe community of Perce. Coffin was hanged in 1956. The commission was estab- lished last Jan. 8 following pub- lication of Montreal author Jacques Hebert's book, J'ac- cuse les Assassins de Coffin, (I accuse Coffin's Assassins, an English translation, was subse- quently published. He claimed Coffin was railroaded to the gallows by Quebec authorities. Mr. Justice Brossard, ap- 'pointed to the Court of Queen's Bench Friday, said the report should finally smash "the mon- strous and dangerous snowball" of the Ceffin case. He said author Hebert's charges were "numerous, vio- lent and venomous abuses" aimed at certain Quebec gov- ernment political, legal and po- lice figures "without any justi- fication or excuse, and com- pletely unprovoked." The con- duct of Coffin's defence law- yers was also severely crit- icized. SEES CONFIRMATION New evidence that Coffin did not testify at his trial for fear of cross-examination, gave con- tradictory testimony about a vehicle he claimed he saw at the scene of the crime and or- dered the disappearance of a ri- fle he borrowed ,"'tend to con- firm and not to contradict" his guilt, the judge said. While the report concludes that author Hebert's book con- tained a few important facts, it says these were "drowned in @ sea of falsehoods, inaccura- cies, half-truths and. slanders" without which the inquiry might never have been held. publicity given charges in the book and suggested stiffer libe laws and self-policing by jour nalists to protect rights. The 70. days of inquiry hear. ings were held in Quebec City, up 16,041 pages' of text. The judge said the prosecu- tion and police generally did a case, despite some mistakes. The oniy fault he found with politicians was the use made of the case by the late premier Maurice Duplessis as an argu: ment for provincial autonomy. CONFERENCE 'POLITICAL' Mr. Justice Brossard said a press conference held by Mr. Duplessis and Antoine Rivard, then solicitor-general, "in 1955 while the case was still before the courts, had a "strongly po- litical character,."' The confer- ence dwelt on the federal cab- inet's decision to turn the case over to the Supreme Court of Canada. "Words fail to express my re- vulsion," the judge said, at claims Mr, Duplessis and Mr. Rivard had bowed to United States pressure for a conviction in the siaying of the hunters. Eugene Lindsay, 47, his son Richard,- 17, and . Frederic Claar, 19, all of Holidaysburg, Pal, the victims, were found badly mangied near their hunt- ing camp. The revort asked the Quebec Bar Association to study the be- havior of defence lawyers Ray- mond Maher, 44, and Francois Gravel, 29, during the case. It said, however, that their actions in no way hindred Cof- fin's chance for acquittal and that their mistakes were those of over zealousness. Mr, Justice Brossard said evi- dence before his inquiry led him to believe, despite Mr. Ma- her's denials, that the lawyer had taken a rifle from Coffin's camp Aug. 27, 1953, on Coffin's instructions. 1.

FOR TRANSPORTATION call 723-7208 The superiority of poured concrete foundation walls as compared te concrete block walls has always been known by builders, in fact nearly all houses in Oshawa had poured concrete walls up to only about ten. years ago, but due to labour costs, pouring foundation walls was also slower to construct @nd, more expensive, consequently giving way to cheaper conrete blocks, It is gratifying to know thot poured concrete foundation walls for homes is rapidly coming back. Tru-Wall Concrete Forming Ltd. of Toronto is now in' the midst of, constructing some 40 poured concrete foundations on the south-east side of Oshawa for Armstrong and Sons Ltd. With more modern and speedier methods than were being used here in the past, thereby making it competitive with concrete block. Recently they have also completed a large number of poured foundation walls for Building Associates Ltd. of Oshawa on Poplar Avenue with future contracts to do many more, Scene above is just one such foundation being poured here from two Redy-Mix Concrete.trucks simultaneously thereby taking only about one hour to pour one house foundation wall,
