35. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE 3 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1946 Claimed In S. India Starts Campaign : Against Discrimination Africa & bg New Delhi, Ont, Oct. 1--(AP)-- C engrossed with the task of hieving independence for 400,000,- 000 people and beset with serious internal problems, is Sonpiiiiag to a fight against discrimination af- fecting some "250,000 Indians in the Union of South Africa. The South African problem is not new. It dates back to the 1860's when the planters of Natal, finding African labor unsatisfactory, im- indentured Indians. For the first time the struggle to eliminate discriminatory legislation against Indians in South Africa is being carried on by a popular gov- ernment which has settled upon a of attempting to make it an tional issue and to bring it before the United Nations organiza~ tion this month. The immediate cause of the cur- rent campaign against the Union of South Africa is the Asiatic Land Tenure Act which prevents Indians from acquiring land in certain areas of Natal and Transvaal except by permit and places other restrictions on acquisition of property. The general issue as outlined by Pandit Nehur in his first address on India's foreign policy, is: "We . . . claim equal and honor- able treatment for our people : wherever they may go and we can- not Scospt any discrimination "In South Africa racialism is the state doctrine and our people are up a herioc struggle against tyranny of racial minority." - Public opinion has mounted - sp t South African whites in In- f that they are forbidden to enter some of India's sw t clubs and many of the country's leading hotels. The government of India has taken these official steps: Indian High June; All trade relations with South Africa were broken off July 1, fol- lowing three months' notice as pro- by treaty. order has been issued that all th African nationals who enter- India before Dec. 1, 1044 (es- imated to number about 1,500) obtain permits for their stay the country.

COAL RUSH HALTS FLOW OF GRAIN TO NEEDY EUROPE Elevators Empty -- Load Falls on Railroads to Rush Wheat East Montreal, Oct. 2--(CP)--A rush to get coal across the Great Lakes so Canadian bins will be full this winter, has resulted in a diversion of inland shipping from the grain- carrying trade and a virtual tfeup in the movement of grain to hungry Europe. Grain elevators at Montreal and other St. Lawrence ports are prac- tically empty and thousands of tons of ocean-goihg ships are idle in the Port of Montreal awaiting cargoes for Europe. ! . With only a fraction of the nor- mal number of lake vessels avail- able to move grain from Lakehead ports, shipping men say continued shipments of grain to Europe now depend on how effectively the rail- roads can fill the gap and get the new harvest moving eastward. Rail Shortages But the railroads themselves are fighting serious equipment short- ages. Thousands of boxcars are in shaky condition after prolonged war service, and the heavy demand for freight cars on the prairies to move the new crop to Lakehead ports has resulted in a lack of sufficient equipment for grain movements further east. The late season spurt to get the coal in before winter was made necessary by the seamen's strike which tied up lake shipping for a sizable part of the summer and retarded the normal flow of coal. At Ottawa, coal controller Brunning said he did not think there had been any planned diversion of ship- ping to coal carrying, but added: "we are trying to get all the ships we can." Canada Buys Rabbit Skins Canberra, Oct. 2--(CP)--Canada ranks second to the United States as a buyer of Australian rabbit skins which now are Australia's sixth export, About 90 per cent of Australia's rabbit skins are shipped abroad. Australian hat manufacturers and furriers use the remainder, Rabbit trapping has become an important industry in a' few years. Value of exported skins was esti- mated at $19,000,000 in the year ended June 30, compared with $1,- 200,000 seven years ago. Increased prices have been a big factor in the rise of export value because the weight of export skins has only doubled since 1939. : Brokers estimate that a good trapper can make from $150 to $200 a week catching rabbits and many farmers in drought-affected areas have turned to trapping, r Canada is reported to use the skins in the manufacture of fur coats. The United States uses them for felt-making. In England, the skins go into coats, hats, trimmings and gloves, Read By More Than 35,000 People Poultry Thieves Active In West Edmonton, Oct. 2--(CP)--Poultry rustling, said to be of a magnitude rivalling the large-scale cattle rust- ling of the old west, brought a warn- ing from the Alberta government yesterday, Farmers were advised to take every possible precaution against the night raiders.

DER", | irn4d Big Five Urged To Co-operate By Cordell Hull Washington, Oct. 2--(AP)--Criti- cally ill Cordell Hull counseled the Big Five powers on his 75th birth- day today that they must replace "dangerous" differences with mutual confidence or face "incalcuable dis- aster." The frail former United States Secretary of State offered his advice even as he carried on a personal struggle for time and health to make a final contribution to world peace. Mr. Hull suffered a stroke Mon- day at the United States Naval 'Hospital where he has been resting from the task of compiling his ex- periences in public life--a work he hopes will not only shed light on the past but furnish lessons for the future. 'It was upon those experiences that he drew for his birthday state- ment citing the difficulties in the path of international unity, yet ex- pressing confidence the objective can be attained if the big powers will only co-operate.

'Winnie's' Daughter Returns To Stage In Italy, Has Feminine Lead In All-Italian Film Production Rome, Oct. 2.--(AP)--""So I say to him, 'I love you dearly, '" The willowy girl in the long blue velvet dress put the tips of her slender fingers together and laugh- ed. When she laughed, her green eyes laughed too. " "And what does he answer? I don't know, Because he answers me in Italian." The girl was Sarah Churchill, 30- year-old daughter of Winston Churchill, Britain's war-time Prime Minister, a W.A.AF, for five years and now back at her chosen career as an actress, ' She was talking about the movie she is making in Rome--"Daniele Cortis," based on the 19th century novel by Antonio Fogazgario -- in which she plays the feminine lead opposite the Italian stage star Vit- torio Gassman. Miss Churchill speaks no Italian. Gassman speaks no English, On the set, she delivers her lines in precise, carefully enunciated English; He speaks his in Italian. Since there will be both Italian and English versions of the flicker, Miss Church- lI's voice will be dubbed in the for- mer, Gassman's and the rest of the cast \n the latter. It is easy to see that the situation makes for com- plications. And how did the English girl hap. pen to be in Italy for this picture with -an otherwise all-Italian cast? Director Mario Soldati--who dou- bles on the set as interpreter for his star--answered: . "I tested 27 Italian actresses for this part. None would do. This part is a complicated, twisted, tortured woman, a strong woman, a tragic woman, We don't have women like that in Italy--not actresses, any- way." Oh, one or two maybe, on the stage. But if they have the ability they don't have the face. "One day I dropped in at an Ita- lian producer's place and saw some tests, There was one girl--she was badly photographed--but I said 'That's the one.' I didn't know who she was. She turned out to be Miss Churchill. "They will say, of course that I picked her because she is Winston Churchill's - daughter, because her name will help the picture. But it would have been the same if she had been Sarah Smith." RICE-EATERS The principal food of half the human race is rice, ei Buffalo Arsenal Seized By F.B.I. Buffalo, N.Y., Oct. 2--(AP)--The Federal Bureau of Investigation said yesterday that a small arsenal including five sub-machine guns, had been seized-in the attic of a Buffalo garage operator. U.S. Commissioner Boyce H. But~ terfield identified the garageman as Charles H, Ahr, 46, and said that pleaded innocent today when ar- raigned on charges of violating the National Firearms Act. The two were released on their own recog- nizance pending a hearing Friday, he added.
