WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1947 THE DAILY Rt TIMES-GAZETTE Say Barbara Ann To Return Ottawa's Gift Drew Opens Door For New Parley On Tax Agreement Ottawa, May 7 (CP)--From Premier Drew of Ontario, the Dominion government had assurance today that he wanted a renewal of open Dominion-Provincial financial conferences, while at the same time it received a yerbal belt on the chin for what he called its "gecret" diplomacy with the provinces. . While leaving Ontario's door wide open for more tax agreement ses- sions, Premier Drew told a Progres- sive Conservative dinner here last night that the federal government has been "encouraging political treachery by secret baits and secret dealg behind closed doors." At the same time, he denied spe- cifically reports that Ontario and Ottawa have been negotiating at below-Cabinet levels for a renewal of discussions. This came almost si- multaneously with a similar denial from Premier Duplessis+of Quebec on pehalf of his province. Mr. Drew, speaking to the Ottawa yo Progressive Conservatives, de- vo almost all of his address to a "hot attack on the federal govern- ment's methods in negotiating fax "agreements, which he termed a threat to Canada's federal struc- ture and a possible forerunner of a unitary system of government, He assaulted, too, what he term- ed threats by federal cabinet mem- bers against the original concept of the British North America Act. Bob Hope Gets 'Fade' Treatment Hollywood, May T--(AP)--A ra- dio network was nettled again last night by one of its high-priced comedians, Bob Hope, and gave him the silent treatment, briefly. NBC gently faded Hope off the air for about five seconds after he sald to his guest star, Frank Sina- tra: "I will be seeing you tomorrow night, Frankie, on your show." A National Broadcasting Company an said Hope had been ask- ed to delete the name of another network from his script but during his show engineers heard the com- ic leading up to this reference and #0 cit him off. Sinatra's new show will be broadcast by Columbia spokesm Said It ir an sg 3 policy to avoid mention of other radio net- May Dive To Locate B.C. Plane Vancouver, May 7--(CP)--Prepa- rations for diving operations were underway in the Gulf of Georgia off the south-east coast of Gabriola Is- land today after searchers had found what they believed was a clue to the disappearance more than a week ago of a Trans-Canada airlin- er carrying 15 persons. The clue--reported by personnel aboard the frigate HM.CS. Anti- gonish--was an "undetermined con- tact" made with anti-submarine de- tection equipment, Before actual diving operations could start, however, the ocean-go- ing tug Heartherton must complete soundings to see how deep the wa- ter is in the locality. Some fear was expressed that the gulf might be too deep to permit .diving opera- tions The contact report revived hopes that the mystery of the missing plane might soon be solved. Gabrio- la Island residents reported several days ago that on the night the air- craft was reported missing -- only three minutes before it was sched- uled to land at Vancouver's Sea Is- land Airport--they had sighted a low-flying plane off the coast of their Island. ' UAW to Strike At Briggs Plant Detroit, May 7--(CP)--The Unit- ed Automobile Workers (CIO) yes- terday filed a 30-day notice of in- tention to strike at all plants of the Briggs Manufacturing Company. The notice came as the company and union continued wage negotia- tiohs started last. Thursday. A strike call by the union would affect about 30,000 Briggs employees, Seals Tonight HON, JOHN BRACKEN Leader of the Progressive Conserva- tive Party in the House of Com- mons who is delivering an address over CLB, Toronto, between 8.30 and 845 pm. today. His subject will be "The Nation's Business". Drew Hits At 'Rationed Freedom' Ottawa, May 7--(CP)--Declaring Canadian radio was not free, Prem- ier Drew of Ontario said last night the federal government's very great propaganda power" was "due to the radio network it controls." The Premier, who had a recent brush with the CBC over some un- censored and ifficongratulatory re- marks about that organization he made over the air at a Toronto CBC dinner, gpoke to a dinner of the Ot- tawa Young Progressive Conserva- tives. His CBC references came af- ter he had completed a broadcast section of his address. ; "One of the first means used by any dictatorship to prevent free speech is to control radio," he de- clared. "It is absolute nonsense to suggest radio in Canada is free," he added "when a government-controlled cor- poration not only controls programs but prepares its own as well" The free-time given to political parties he termed "rationed bits of freedom." When a public man had some- thing to tell Canadians, he was ra- tioned to 15 minutes. In the United States, "loose- mouthed" Henry Wallace, former vice-president, was "allowed to pro- pagate his nonsense on the air," and this was a good thing. It gives the people a chance to assess it. "I've Struck the Balance Between NOW . . and THEN" "Future income for the family! i: + » That was my big worry, until the London Life represen- tative helped me to strike a balance between today's needs and tomorrow's. "First, we figured out the income my wife and children would need if anything hap- pened fo me. Then we decided what my present assets should earn if invested in sound securi- ance ties. The difference determined the amount of additional insur- I had to buy. It's a great relief to have no worry about othe family's future--and there's enough insurance 'to care for me too, if I live to retire." "How did we do it? The London Life has arranged life insurance estates for more than three-quarters of a million Canadians. The benefit of this experience can be yours by having a London Life represen- tative get in touch with you.

Uncle Looey, (if you add an "n" to the name it fits him well) is one of those guys who follows the horses and it seems that whenever he lays some cash on some nag, it also manages to follow the horses. His wife is one of the "horsey set," entirely dif- ferent from him. Why, if he even suggests going near the large oval she says 'Nay Nay" +. « « » (pronounced as if spent neigh), Event It: turns out that our descrip- ti.. of the formal dance at the school was accurate in every de- tail. Guess we better take up fortune telling. Our wildest guess . , . that Mr, O'Neill would take the first dance with the May Queen, even turned out okay. The only thing that mars our other- wise perfect record is the naming of the May Queen herself. Ruth Lott as you know was the winner and a very deserving one if we do say ourselves. Gwen Colvon and Georgia Phillips were chosen they attendants and they carried the nosegays as we predicted. All of the merry and mad beings who attended the ball say that they would like more of same at the same time next year. Would be a good idea too if the receipts from this affair turn up written in blue, and not red ink. Everybody and his cousin have now started to place their name on the large May Pole in the mid- dle of the auditorium, We (that is Ostrflk and I) are wondering what they are going to do with the thing It is so large that they may have to get young George Washington to do his "Cherry Tree" act on the monstrosity . We wonder if any of the more ape-like of the guests tried to swing along the streamers to the May Pole; it would be interest- ing to find out the tensile strength of paper the hard way. Some bright laddie suggests that they move the pole over to the side of the school and use it for a fire escape. He says it would be great fun sliding down the thing like a fireman. Sports We decided to trot over to Alex- andra Park again to see what was going on over there, We no- ticed among other things that the 'baseball (hardball to the unitiat- ed) boys going through their' workouts, Gord, Brown and Ding" Gavas were hard at work. We heard Brown say he was out to equal that one-hit games re- cord that Bob Feller set up last year. 'Ding" was a little more modest when he said he was go- ing to put down every man to face him, on strikes, Getting away from these characters we wander- ed over to the infield practice and saw our old friend George Wal- lace and Don Souch. These lads were just taking a few days rest from their exams at University and so they didn't say much. George did say something about "the differential" or something, but of course you know those col- lege guys. Those movies and the whole show at the Genosha Hotel last night was really good. Any young tennis fans who missed the show are really out of luck, cause it was just about the best bit of a boost that tennis has gotten around these parts in some time. Budge and Tilde were the movie subjects and these veterans of the courts went through some thrill- ing displays of court generalship.

The more mellow recording this time is a Les Brown hit entitled "In the Moon Mist". He has stolen from the classics for his theme like so many of the modern jazzmen, but this time he really made a home run. The Listening Tide Our radio wasn't working last week-end so we were forced to go up to the studios of CKDO to listen to the Teen Topic show. Looks to this corner like a fellow named "Moose" might have slipped the tube away and so forced us to wit- ness the show in person. The or- deal was made light by the appear- ance of the May Queen, but even with Ruth Lott around, the pro- gram still took its course. We sat in the control room and snickered at the gay people as they went about their work -- work (spelt w=-0-r-k, but pronounced play). The Latest With the circus coming to town soon it seemed appropriate to insert an elephant joke into the column, 50 here it is: It seems that Matilda the ele- phant had a very bad cough and waas hacking so loud that the noise was disturbing the whole show. The animal trainer gave his assistant the following orders: "Give her a pail of water with a bottle of whisky emptied in it." A few hours later the trainer came over to the elephant grounds where he heard an awful racket. His assistant hastened over to him and said that Matilda wasn't any better, but now the whole herd was coughing. - - - Wise, gh! = = = See you Saturday.

Horn spent a few days in Toronto. : SELLING ABOVE CEILING A most unfortunate error occurred in a report of a court action, pub- lished on page two of Monday's issue, in which it was stated that Gordon Dodd, 278 Park Road South and Edward Minard, 65 Kenneth Avenue, appearing on a joint charge "of stealing a motor car above the W.P.T.B. ceiling" had the charge against them dismissed. The word "stealing" was an obvious error and should have been "selling" as stated | in the heading of the story. HORSEWHIPPED CHILD, 4, FINED $20 Kitchener, May 7--(CP)--Be- cause a four-year-old girl threw dirt on his porch, George Hei- pel, a Waterloo landlord, horse- whipped her. And because he did, Magistrate H. R. Polson yesterday imposed a fine of $20 and costs or 10 days in jail and called him a "bad-tempered old man." Auto Seekers May Have To Buy if * Vehicle Ordered New York, May 6.--Norman Funk, analyst for E. F. Hutton and Co., points to the automobile industry generally as in a strong position at the present time. "To the extent," he says, "that the auto industry enjoys a larger deferred demand than most induss. tries and is being currently re- stricted by material shortages, the motor industry has strong defences against a possible trade recession this year." The auto industry still has large backlogs of orders. There are many duplications, of course, represent- ing orders by one person in three or four, companies as a means of speeding up his car delivery. One wonders what would hap- pen if the auto dealers got tough onthese order duplicators. If a person was told his new car was ready and he replied he didn't want it because he just got a delivery from another company, the dealer might say: "You made a firm con- tract to take this car. You've got to take it." This department doesn't know anything about legal problems, but contracts are contracts anywhere: in the nation, It might be tough to have three or four auomobiles rammed down one's throat by way of the courts. Douglas Stewart Was Prisoner Nazis 4 Years Douglas G. Stewart, who is in Oshawa today, was born in Glas- gow, Scotland, and at the age of 18 went out to Europe for the first time as a missionary of the Gospel. Mr, Stewart was engaged in evan- gelistic work in Europe at the out- break of the war. He was taken a prisoner of the Nazis on the borders of Greece when Hungary entered the war, He spent over 4% years in different Nazi Concentration Camps on trial as a British agent, manhandled and battered about, in solitary confinement; he is still alive to tell of the faithfulness and grace 0 God during those years. "Europe today," says Mr. Stewart, 'Is like a drunken man swaying on DOUGLAS STEWART his heels and endeavouring to re- cover such equilibrium as will keep him from falling in the gutter. In spite of terror and opposition and ruthless persecution by the Gesta- po a new front did arise during this war to fight godlessness. This unarmed group of believers did not hang out the 'white flag of defeat-- some paid in martyrdom a heavy price for their faith. , .."" Mr. Stewart is the youngest Bri- tish missionary in Europe and has visited or travelled in some 20 countries and has a wide knowl- edge of peoples, customs, and relig- fons and their national problems. He was liberated by the British 8th Army in May, 1945, and is vis- iting the U.S, and Canada on be- half of the missionary work of the European Evangelistic Crusade in Europe. He is the Youth Direc- tor on the field under the above mission. His older brother, James A, Stewart, is the founder of the Crusade. He will be speaking tdnight at Calvary Baptist Church, corner of John and Centre Streets. Jhe Day ut , Parti ; By The Canadian Press TODAY The Commons continues the bud- get debate. The Senate will sit. YESTERDAY The Commons heard Progressive Conservative and C.C.F. speakers move motions of want-of-confi- dence in the government in opening of the budget debate; Heard J. M. Macdonnell, Progressive-Cons. fin- ancial critic, say the burget offer- ed no relief from indirect and hid- den taxes; heard M. J. Coldwell, C. C.

He said car manufacturers de- pended on volume production for prosperity and "I do not look for any runaway prices for new cars." given her by her native City Of Auto Confusion Distorts Picture As Final Ruling Is Awaited Montreal, May 7 (CP)--Barbara Ann Scott may be able to keep her sleek canary-colored convertible automobile of Ottawa after she won the world figure skating championship, but a statement last night by Avery Brundage, president of the United States Canadian Officials Indignant Ottawa, May 7 -- (CP) -- The "Olympic incident" involving Otta- wa's world figure skating champion Barbara Anp Scott and the big con- vertible automobile she accepted fram a grateful city, was top news in Canada's Capital today, with ci- 1 vic officials and sportsmen literal- ly up in arms over threats to the skater's amateur status and her dream of Olympics competition. Mayor Stanley Lewis said develop- ments that led Barbara Ann to promise return of the canary-color- ed car the city presented to her on her triumphant return from her world victory at Stockholm early this year, represented "a new low in sports." And C. H. Cumming, past presi- dent of the Minto Skating Club where the 18-year-old blonde learn- ed to skate at the age of seven, said if she were declared a professional the amateur status of all skaters who competed in the North Ameri- can championship she won here last month, could be jeopardized. They also could be prevented from competing in the 1948 Olympics--a CANADIAN OFFICIALS (Continued on Page 12) > 4Olympic games committee, only added to the general confusion. Brundage, the man who started it all, said in Santa Barbara, Calif., that there might be "extenuating circumstances" which would clear Barbara Ann of violating amateur rules in accepting the car as a gift from the city, But he didn't make it clear whether it was all right for her to keep the car, or whether her announced intention of returning the car to the donors would allow her to retain her amateur status. The part that puzzled most peo- ple was that first Barbara Ann was told by amateur authorities when the car was presented on her re- turn from Stockholm that it was all right to accept the gift and now Brundage fails to explain if she would be allowed to keep the car or just be allowed to compete in the Olympics because the car was re- turned. * Said Brundage: "My personal opinion would be that if the girl accepted the car after being told that it would be all right--and I have heard that she was giyen this advice by a competent authority-- BARBARA ANN (Continued on Page 2) REMEMBER THE DATE DON'T BE LATE' For The "ODDMENTS AUCTION" 10 AM, Cor.
