Senator Wagner pointed out that the banking committee in the pri- vate investigation already under- way has asked for detailed facts on foreign capital, investments, ana balances in the United States. The information has been requested from the treasury department, commerce department, federal re- serve system and affiliated banks, and numerous other public and pri- vate sources. The investigation, authorized be- fore the European outbreak, aimed .t recommendations for a "nation- al monetary and banking policy by which the monetary and banking authorities of the federal govern- ment shall be guided and govern- od."

RUMANIAN GHIEE SEEKS TO STEM ANARCHY SPREAD (Continued from Page 1) famed leader of the one-time Na- tional Peasant party, is not known and fears are expressed for his safety. He has had a strong body- guard since Iron Guard rule began after Carol's abdication in Sep- tember, Backed By Nazis Antonescu's efforts to cool off the Iron Guardist extremists are back- | | ed by German divisions on Ruman- ian soil and by Rumanian garri- sons, ooth reported ready for in- stant action. A terse government communique acknowledged the purge by bullets yesterday in Jilava priscn and said the government "disapproves." The Iron Guard, in power since it overthrew the regime of King Carol II and chased him from the country, admittedly was settling its chief political score--avenging the death of its founder, Cornelius Zelea Codreanu. Saturday will be the second anni- vergary of the death of Codreanu, killed in Carol's administration and buried in the courtyard of Jilava prison. To the Iron Guard, Cod- reanu is a martyr. The Bucharest communique mere- ly said "some political prisoners'-- | those "considered principally res- ponsible for the crime against Cod- reanu and other legionnaires under the last regime"--were shot dead by Guardists who were exhuming their bodies. It did not specify how many were slain, nor in what circumstances, but other reports sald there were 64, among them such once conspic- uous leaders as former Premier George Argesanu, former supreme court president Radu Pascu and other cabinet officers. George Bratianu, leader of the old Liberal party, and Victor Iam- ansi, former minister of justice now are listed in unconfirmed with the others known to have been slain yesterday. - The purge was a swift, remorse- less affair, according to reports through diplomatic channels. Shortly before dawn yesterday, they said, several hundred men got into Jilava prison, seized the keys from guards and, one by one, un- locked the cells. The prisoners were called out and shot dead on the spot. There also were reports of ar- rests of scores of others in disfavor of the ruling guard and of resigna- tions among Rumanian officials and army officers over the out break. Antonescu, however, was said to have the situation in hand, backed up by the presence of German troops in Rumania and by Sima who told the guard "the only law must be that of saving our father- land . . . I order every legicnnaire to follow the orders of his leader." Fraction within the Iron Guard has flared several times recently into gunplay «and Antonescu has been endeavoring to reconcile fac- tions among his Guardist follows ers, "Unjustifiable Lynching" Rome, Nov. 28 (AP).--The news- paper II Popolo Di Roma termed today the slaying of at least 64 po- litical prisoners by Rumanian Iron Guardists in Bucharest "unjustifi- able lynching." Referring to yesterday's purge the newspaper sald: "The action car- ried out by legionnaires certainly was not legal. every way to the political tenden- cles of General Ton Antonescu, who can only deplore it . . . one ican only. hope that Rumania will: find peace again in the spirit and doc- trine of the Axis" -------- Liberty, Mo., Nov. 28 (AP)--Prof. Chester J.

Mr. and Mrs, Fred Cowling and | ference to which Mr. Roosevelt un- son, Blackstock, visited Mr, and | expectedly summoned Dies from his | Orange, Texas, home. ' The invitation went forward al- most simultaneously with a telegram | in which the president asked the en- | tire Dies committee yesterday not to | "defeat the ends of justice" in its | campaign against subversive dctivi- ties by premature disclosure of | "facts or of suppositions" or by | hasty seizure of evidence. | For many months, Dies has been | urging government agencies to pro- ceed against those the Texan has termed: "Known Communists" and "known radicals." The agencies have replied that they needed concrete @vidence--admissablg in any court-- of leghl gullt and tHAT fhe commit. tee might destroy a secret investiga- tion by publication of leading infor- mation. The president's telegram sought to distinguish between the work of a legislative committee and that of an executive branch of the government. Remarking that administrative dut- ies in regard to illegal acthities "lie in the executive branch of the gov- ernment" rather than the legislat- ive, Mr. Roosevelt told Dies: "As soon as this distinction Is clearly recognized, there is no reason why there should not be complete harmony between your committee and the executive branch of the government." The committee's "red paper" or- route untravelled and without shel- | ter and the country infested with packs of wolves. | As United States Commissioner R. | E. Steel reconstructed Robertson's end, darkness overtook the old timer | on the trail and he tried to camp for the night beside the stream. But | when he was unable to light a fire, death from freezing swiftly ap- proached. The commissioner believes the howling wolves and the certainty of | death then impelled the Alaskan pioneer to take a step which cheated the wolves, From the position in which the body was found yesterday with parka pulled over his head and his | arms folded, steel was convinced that Robertson had purposely lain in the stream, with the freezing wa- ter trickling over him, to make sure the wolves would not get his body.

"Death" was caused by fire which struck suddenly when gasoline came into contact with short-circuited wires. The age of the victim made the case difficult. The only person present at the time of passing was the driver, Frank Hayward, who im- mediately summoned the Fire De- partment to administer first aid but it was to no avail. The vehicle had been employed by the Welfare Board since 1936 and was a well-known figure on Oshawa streets. According to Welfare Board officials, retirement had been con= sidered shortly before the untimely end. The remains are resting in the civic yards next to the police station, Place of interment is undecided. __ L% BLOKE S30 EN oN | 04 MADE FROM FRES LSA VA OI UI 2 LMER 7 » Send for folder describing the AYLMER Silverware Offer.

OT H TOMATOES | S EASON HAMILTON, ONT. STARTING WORK ON BUILDING AT OSHAWA AIRPORT (Continued from Page 1) Ltd., also of Windsor, and the cost of these will be between $200,000 and $250,000. In Full Swing In Week Both companies have crews on the ground expect to reach thelr full stride of construc- tion activity next week. The Fuller Construction Company, whose activ- ities at the local airport develop- ment are being personally super- vised by Mr. Puller, has been busy at the alrnort for two weks, mov- ing in their first equipment on No- vember 12. The Sterling Construc- tion Co., began thelr only on Tuesday when the firm's general engineer, A. J. Gosselin, ar- rived to take charge. 'They have erected a small building which will serve as their administrative office and expect to get into active build ing operations next Monday, The Fuller firm will have about 50 men working for them, over 40 Oshawa and district residefifg They will Jay 2,600 feet of watermain, 5- 000 feet of sewers, erect 340 rods of wire fence, build half a mile or more of roadway in addition building a pumping station, doing some grading and placing drainage tiles on the field. Most of the ditch- ing is being done by a ditching ma- chine but there is still a great vol- ume of pick and shovel work to be done by laborers. pany"s work will be tha erection of 12 buildings, all of tfem of frame construction similar to the various military camp buildings erected throughout the Dominion during the past summer, except the plane hangar. The latter will be fireproof of steel and tile construction and the'Oshawa hangar will be the first building of this fireproof of con- struction to be erected in connec- tion with the Commonwealth Alr Training scheme. Fireproof Hangar The hangar will also be the larg- est single building on the grounds. It will measure 224 feet by 168 feet and will be 32 feet high and wil provide accommcdation for 50 to 60 aeroplanes at one time. It will be the most modern of all the Elemen- tary Training School hangars, being the result of lessons learned In earlier buildngs. In addition to this the building program includes three dormitories for the airmen, officers' quarters, a mess hall, garage, stores building, recreation hall, guard room and 8 rifle range. Like the hangars the buildings detailed for No. 26 Training Schoo! will be better and more modern than those built at other airports as lessons gained by experience are being incorporated in these struc- tures. They will definitely be larger and more commodious than those built elsewhere. Need 100 Carpenters The firm which is erecting these plans to have 100 to 125 men on their payroll, the bulk of them men with carpenter construction experi- ence, Men who worked at the Camp Borden building jobs this past summer will probably prove ideal for the present job. All local men that can be secured will be hired, by the firm according to resi- dents of the district where the con- struction is taking place. The extensive proportions of the airport undertaking can be visual- ized more clearly as these various phases of the development take shape. For instance the building program requires 800,000 feeh of lumber, better than 32 carloads of material, to say nothing of the hardware, concrete, building board, shingles and other products needed for the structures. ; Both Experienced Firms Both the Fuller and the Sterling firms come to Oshawa with a re- cord of previous experience in air- port construction work. The Fuller firm held contracts for ground ser- vices at the Fingal airport near St. Thomas and at Windsor while the Sterling Construction Co., did work at Fingal, Windsor, Fort William and London. The firm installing the ground services has set as its goal "out of the trenches by Christmas" while the Sterling Co., plans to have their puildings finished by January 1. Contract' terms specify that the building be finished by January 15. With the ground services install- ed and the necessary bulldings erected the only construction act- ivity necessary to complte the air- port will be the construction of runways. Those are to be of ma- cadam construction and will not likely be buil; untl the spring. No operations | | The roll was one of the lightest | The Sterling Construction Com- | contrat; has been let for these run- ways so far. In addition there will be general clean up work and grass seeding to be done in the spring, The buildings which are being erected will be of the type built at airports and military camps else- where in Canada. They are all of frame design, but are insulated and will be warmer than 60 per cent of Canadian homes generally. LAURIER NEPHEW WINS BY-ELECTION BY9,000 VOTES (Continued from Page 1) achim Sauve, K.C.,, said that with | 187 polls of 188 reported, the vote | | stood: Laurier 10,147, Denomme | 626, Scott 324. | in the constituency's history, only a third of the registered voters cast | ballots. A snowfall which contin- | ued through much of the day was believed responsible for the small | turnout. When Mr. Leduc, now clerk of the | Supreme Court of Canada, was el- | ected to the Legislature in the 1937 provincial, election, he received a | majority of 13,134 votes over his Conservative opponent, Nelson J. to | Lacasse and Pte. Denomme, also a | Social Credit candidate then. Election of Mr, Laurier last night left the party standing in the legis- lature at 63 Liberals, 21 Conserva- | tives and one United Farmer of Ontario, with five seats vacant. At no time in the counting of | the ultimate outcome of the by-el- | ection. Mr, Laurier took the lead at the start snd «it never was threat- ened. His election was conceded by the returning officer at 9:30 p.m. E.D.T.,-am hour and a half after the rolls closed. At that time he had a majérity of more than 4,000 votes with about half the polls reported. Before his appointment to the mines portfolio, Mr. Laurier was private secretary to Justice Minister Lapointe. He is a barrister, called to the Ontario bar 20 years ago. The -election campaign was conducte quietly, and electors showed little interest in it. None of the candidates established cam- paign headquarters, few public meetings were held and very little campaign literature was distributed. cl bis election was conceded, Mr, urier said he would always try to live up to the confidence placed in him by the electors and by Ontario government leaders who appointed him to his cabinet post. LEPERS SEEKING IMPROVED NAME (Continued from Page 1) suggested at a conference several years ago, but proved too cumber- some for gerieral acceptance. "We must make the public realize that there are a great many more diseases that are far more danger- ous and contagious," he said, de- claring that science steadily was advancing in its fight against the disease. "The popular conception must be debunked, We must convince peo- ballots was there any question of | ple that those who suffer {from Hanson's disease are not abnormal or queer in any respect." The pati>nts to whom he spoke live in an institution considered the best equipped of its kind in the world, play golf on their own links, operate their own motion picture theatre, and soda fountain, even hold their own carnival ball coin- ciding with New Orleans Mardi Gras. Established in a ruined plantation house in the 1890's, the institution was taken over py the United States government and steadily improved. The last $5,000,000 modernization program was completed only Slew months ago. ey io RAF, BEATS OFF ITALIANS RUSHING TO MEET GREEKS (Continued from Page 1) through whose efforts he sald "Italian reinforcements intended to bolster Italian troops have been unable to reach their destination," the government spokesman said the Greeks are holding the initia- tive generally and now are forging ahead "with the same speed which has marked the attack of recent | days." An army communique also report- | ed that Greek troops "continued | successfully their action on Alban- ian territory" and sald Greek war- planes bombed Italian concentra- | tions and artillery.
