He was stricken while addressing national Jewish leaders on the tremendous need for Jewish unity in order to cope with the problems of Palestine under consideration by the United Nations General Assembly. Mr, Monsky, who was 57, had been president of B'nai B'rith since his election at the May, 1938, con- vention of the nation's oldest and largest Jewish service organization. Under his leadership, the B™ai B'rith quadrupled its membership which now totals 320,000 in its men's, women's and youth 'organi- mations. After he was elected president of B'nai B'rith he added continually to his responsibilities. In 1941, Presi- dent Roosevelt appointed him a member of the National Voluntary Participation Committee of the Of- fice of Civilian Defense. Two years later, he founded the American Jewish Conference. In 1945, the State Department named him one of the two Jewish consultants to the U.S. delegation at the San Francisco conference, where the United Nations was born. A year later he served as chairman of the executive committee of the National Conference for the Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency, called by Attorney General Tom C. Clark. At the time of his death, he was chairman of the conference's continuing committee. He was honorary national chair- man of the United Jewish Appeal and the United Palestine Appeal; a member of the board of the Joint Distribution Committee; member of the board of governors of the Am- erican Association for Jewish Edu- cation; honorary vice-president of the Jewish Publication Society; member of the executive committee of the National Community Rela- tions Advisory Council; vice-presi- dent of the National Jewish Hospi- tal; on the executive committee of the National Oonference of Chris- tians and Jews and a member of the non-Catholic Commission on Citizenship. Only a few weeks before his death, four important new responsibilities came to him, He was named a member of the newly-formed advis- ory committee on citizenship of the Justice Department; appointed to the advisory council of the new Na- tional Association for Employment of the Handicapped; elected to the board of trustees of the Church Peace Union, and chosen a member of the campaign committee of the United Urban League Service Fund, Bevin Lashes (Continued from Page 1) hour and 59th minute settlements and he hoped there would still be a settlement of the differences among the big four. If he had to come to Parliament to admit defeat, the British gov- ernment would have to review the whole of its foreign policy. He warned that "1 is going tb be another very difficult year for the world." Referring to the negotiations re- cently broken off with the Egyptian government, Bevin said "I have of- fered a peace settlement, but I have never attempted to buy one." The government could not go any far- r than it has already gone in concessions to Egypt. The government did mot accept the view that Britain had ceased to play the role of a great power. "We regard ourselves as one of the pow- ers most vital to the peace of the world. We still have our historic part to play, I am not aware that by a sudden stroke of fate we have ceased to be a great power over- night." Western Farmers Hurry To Finish Wheat Planting By NORMAN ALSTEDTER Tregarva, Sask, May 16--(CP)~ 'Tractors began to growl at 4 a.m. today across the rich Regina plains as Prairie farmers rushed to finish seeding while temperature and moisture conditions were right. Already they had calculated when next fall's first frost might strike. If wheat, the West's boss crop, was to mature before then, it should be In the ground within days. ' Bill Busby, 71-year-old pioneer of this district 10 miles northwest of Regina, heard the machines start up but he stayed in bed. He used to seed in the pre-dawn light too but now the job belongs to his son Wesley and the third lad who be- fon a 17-hour stint en the 3% eavy-land sections the father and his 33.year-old son own between them. Snack Later Bill drove the family auto- mobile out past the two water dug-~ outs, Waking the mid-morning snack to the wo! . Then he burned the stubble, fed the chickens, and checked the 30 head of cattle before he picked up the hot noon meal. "It's too early to talk about this year's prospects, he said, "Anything can happen. Wind, hail, sawfly, frost, cutworms." Like most of their neighbors, the Busbys could use another man but, said Bill, he, his boy and their hir- ed hand would be able to put in about 700 acres of wheat and 150 of flax. Barley acreage would de- pend on the weather. " Wheat Acreage Their wheat acreage, in line with the trend this season, would be up to $5.00 a bushel this year, was down 150 acres from last year. Flax, not sown last year. Saskatchewan hog production is far below the 1944 peak production and Oraigie Park Farm is some- thing more than typical in this re- spect, Of the 125 swine the Busbys groomed in 1844 there is only one sow left and her litter, usually about 10, consisted this spring of one porker. However, Bill said hog production should rise agaln when more labor is avi 4 Norman Hipel Is Elected President |0f Ontario Liberal Association; Vote House Leader Today; 6 Run Toronto, May 16-- (CP)--With more and more campaign litera- ture distributed to the nearly 1,- 000 delegates at the Ontario Lib- eral Association today, it was learned that seven candidates were definitely in the running for the party leadership, Meanwhile, the results of last night's presidential election Were anfivuiceyu, INOITian Akipei of Preston taking the chair for the coming year.

Grant Appeal Of W.P.T.B. Cheese Case Belleville, May 1--(6P)--An appeal by the Prices rd against dismissal of three char- ges of selling cheese above th ceiling price against the Belle- ville Cheddar Cheese Company was allowed late last night by Judge W, 8. Lane of Picton, who levied a $500 fine and costs against the company. Three charges against the company were dismissed in court here last December by Magis- bia "GaiVii vi hiugoiwou the Prices Board appealed two of them, i In the second appeal, also heard by Judge Lane yesterday, the company was found guilty of making out improper invoices and was fined $10 and costs. ' Essence of the charges was that the firm had paid « buying com- mission of #-cent per pound to country agents and had passed the amount on to wholesale cus- tomers, Their mark-up thus was one cent instead of 3 cent as per- mitted under Prices Board regu- lations, The offences were said to have taken place between Dec, 1, 1945, and June 1946. Defence Counsel J. J. Robin- ette of Toronto contended that re- gulations permitted an aggre- gate mark-up of 23 cents a pound by wholesale and main- tained that Belleville Cheddar Cheese, beacuse of the manner of its curing, was not Cheddar ciéese and therefore not bound by the maximum price order, T. J. Hicks, dairy produce grader for Eastern Canada, said, however, that the black diamond cheese involved as Cheddar cheese.
