Three ambulances took them to Windsor, 20 miles west of here, The six admitted to hospi- tal were Gladys Brophey, 22, with extensive scalp lacerations; Joyce Cook, 16, scalp cuts; Cora Atherton, 15, undetermined in- ries; Margaret Duncan, 16, in- to left hand; Eileen Voisey, undetermined injuries, and Jennings, 19, possible rib The other 15, including the driver, John Joyce, 23, were trea- ted for cuts and btuises and al- lowed to go home, All are mem- bers of a young people's group at the Windsor Salvation Army Cit- adel, Joyce told police that he took the wrong highway to Kingsville. Afier asking directions, he drove along the Belle River road, a short-cut route, to make up lost time, Joyce said the truck suddenly hit a hole in the road, swerved out of control,. struck a soft shoulder and #urned on Itg. left side, partly in a ditch. Some of the passengers, 18 of whom were on benches and chairs in the back of the truck, were thrown clear Steelworkers Term Girls 'Slave Labor' The terms on which 100 Polish girls were imported from Germ- any to work in Quebec textile mills were described last night by Local 1817, United Steelwor- kers of Ameriga "as a disgrace to the nation." Claiming the Canadian gov. ernment was allowing a million- aire employer to take advantage of "the misery of European wo= men." D., N, Kay, secretary, toe day dispatched a wire to W.E.N. Sinclair, M.P. for this riding and Hon, Humphrey Mitchell, minis ter of labor, strongly protesting against the importation of "in- dentured labor." ; Mr. Kay's telegram reads: "Lo- cal 1817, United Steelworkers of America, strongly protests against importation of indenture ed labor to Canada. We see no shortage of labor here. Sweat- shop industries can get all the workers they want by paying fair wages." M. J, Fenwick, Union repre- sentative, warned the bringing of cheap labor to Quebec's textile mills, if not stopped by public clamor, may spread to other in- dustries and aid in undermining Union standards. z "What's to stop employers in the steel industry from going to. German concentration camps and importing their inmates to work under long term contracts at low wages?" he asked, "We certainly cannot and will not tolerate the shipment of displaced persons un- der such conditions. "Labor is not opposed to the right kind of immigration pol- icy," he continued, "But we won't sit let employers bring in slave labor: -- Charge Follows Centre St. Crash Arrested last night on a charge of careless driving, Clifford Reid, 151 Park Road North, was re- manded today for trial on July 4. Reid was arrested when an auto he was driving collided with a car, driven by Dr. H. M. MacDonald, 101 Simcoe Street North, at the corner of Centre and Athol Streets shortly after 6:00 p.m. yesterday. Dr. MacDonald told police he was driving north on Centre Street when a car turning south 'from Athol Street West hit the left side of his auto. Left door and post of the MacDonald car were badly smashed while the front bumper of the Reid car was broken on the left side. License Number Locates Driver When a hit-and-run driver col- lided with his auto at the inter- section of Avenue and Simcoe Streets just afier 5:00 p.m, yester- day, George Bray, of Raglan, gave chase along Simcoe South to Olive Avenue where. he lost his quarry. With the aid of a license number, police discovered the owner of the second car to be Archibald Black, 519 Howard Street, who admitted brushing the Bray car. Black told Constable George Mc- Cammond he didn't stop because he thought no damage had been done, Left. rear panel of the Bray vehicle was reported damage as well as minor damage to the froat right fender of the Black car. Dominion Status (Continued From Page 1) fered the sole opposition to the plan. He said he was "the more sus- picious of the solution because Mr. Churchill, who has a bad record in connection with India, gives it such support." Progress Attlee said considerable progress had been made toward evolving a constitution for India in the Con- stituent- Assembly, where met re- presentatives of the Madras, Bom- bay, the United Provinces, Bihar, the Central Provinces and Berar, Assam, Orissa' and se ic frontier provinces, Delhi, mer- merwara and Coorgall dominated by the Congress party, which is largely Hindu, ] But the Moslem Jeague includ. ing a majority of e representa- I of Bengal, the Punjab and Sind--ag well as the representative of British Baluchistan, decided not to participate in the Constituent Assembly, Attlee said. It is to this vast region of India that the parti- tion offer applies. League's Claim The Moslem League claims to speak for 90,000,000 Indians, and the Congress Party asserts itself as the voice of most of the other 300,000,~ 000). { Attlee sald the position of the fiundreds of princely states in In- dia "remains unchanged" under the new plan--that is, Britain remains the "paramount" authority in them until the final British withdrawal next year. After that, they may join Pakistan or Hindustan-- supposing partition does occur---or become in- dependent. Churchill, remarking at the out- set that the highly technical plan "seems very difficult to under- stand," said the two conditions for Indian freedom which were impos- ed during his administration had been fulfilled--agreement between the Indian parties and a Dominion period. Want Freedom of Speech By 'Right,' Not By 'Grace' Ottawa, June 3--(CP)--The Can. adian Association of broadcasters urged today that freedom of speech on the air be established as a mat- ter of right and not as a matter of In a brief read to the radio com. mittee of the Commons, the C.A.B. the govermment-of-the-day had "absolute" control over everything broadcast over the radio in Canada. "As matters stand, the govern- ment-of-the-day, could constitu- tionally, promptly, and without changing a word of present legisla. tion: prevent expression of any opinion other than its own," said the brief. 'We concede that the present government has no such intention, but the danger is there. The sit. uation arose because since the first Radio Act was passed there has never been an over-all survey of radio legislation and regulation, ner any attempt to determine its application to modern conditions. "We urge, therefore, that this and complete overhaul of existing radio legislation with these princi- ples in mind: "1. That freedom of speech on the air should be a matter of right. "2. That such freedom should be properly safeguarded by having the regulation of radio broadcasting in the hands of a licensing and regu- latory body which should be as in- t as possible of the gov- emnment-of-the.day and which should be appointed directly by and responsible directly to parliament | said that under existing legislation | itself. "3. That the functions of such a body be clearly refined by Parlia- ment and, that its funds should be supplied by Parliament, "4, That the CBC be a corpor- ation operating a national broad- casting system, as was originally intended, but reprived of regula- tory power over independent sta- tions." The brief said that In some American cities, newspapers. and radio stations now use facsimile distribution 'of -~ newspapers. More and more of them are doing so, said the brief, "The government's CBC," it add- ' ed, "has the power under present regulations to regulate editorial comment in the press, to demand | advance submission of news stories, and to dictate from what sources these may be drawn when Can- adian newspapers and radio sta- tions adopt facsimile. Grand River (Continued From Page 1) crest was belleved reached by offi- cials who said they expected no re- petition of conditions that prevail. ed during Easter week-end floods, Highway No. 54 beside the Grand River was closed to traffic for a distance of about five miles between. | Caledonia and York because of 18 inches of water over low spots on the road. Repair crews today worked at re- placing a section of new pavement at the intersection of Highways No. 2 and 6 which was washed out by yesterdap's heavy rain. All other highways in Hamilton area were back to normal. In Western Ontario the Grand River yesterday climbed four feet and its tributary, the Conestoga 43 feet, spreading fears of flood conditions along the Grand Val- ley, After a sudden rise of 10 feet in 23 hours, police last night warned Galt residents to move food and valuables' from base ments and lower floors, Business men shifted merchandise from ground floors and waited for the river to recede. At St. Marys, waters of the north branch of the Thames and of Trout Creek rose to within 12 inches of the level of the Easter floods, inundating lowlands along the river and flooding cellars in the town's business district, Between five and seven p.m. yesterday the Thames at London rose a foot an hour to bring is level mine feet above normal. During the evening the rate of rise slowed considerably although the waters continyed to swell. At Ingersoll on the south branch the water was five feet above normal, with adjoining flats covered, However, London's city engineer, Col, W, M, Veitch, last night discounted danger of a | repetition of the river's Easter rampage, North and west of Toronto the Etobicoke River croached on the streets of Bramp- ton and 15 miles downstream isolated 200 families in Long Branch, In Halton county, just west of Peel, farmers around Milton saw their fields and a number of sec- ondary roads submerged by the unseasonable downpour, At Ottawa the Gatineau Ottawa Rivers receded and last night en. slightly | over the week-end, and residen.s of Gatineau Point began to make plans for repairing battered buil dings. , Tunight OPENING DANCE BARNHART'S RUSTIC PAVILION $25.00 In Cash Prizes Sweet Recorded Music Adm. 35¢ Four Dead In Western Shop Fire Medicine Hat., Alta., June 3-- (CP)--Four- persons, three of them children, lost their lives early tolay when fire destroyed the tailor shop and residence of Steve Gyorkos. Twelve others es- caped. : Dead are: Murray, 11; Eliza- beth, eight; and Margaret, five, all daughters of Gyorkos; and Jack McCauley, 45, of Edmon- ton, In hospital and in serious con. dition is Christine Gyorkos, 13, The four girls were sleeping in the front bedroom of the small shop-tenement house with three other sisters when the fire broke out. They suffered severe burns and suffocation.

A. Good- fellow announced yesterday that all day nurseries in Ontario, whether privately or municipally-operated, must obtain a licence from the Ontario Department of Public Wel- fare. "It is our hope," Mr. Goodfellow said, "that this method of licensing may assure parents using day nur- series gn adequate standard of care and protection for their-children." Day Nurseries Act regulations, which became effective June 1, set out in detail the type of building and accommodation required for such institutions, the size of play rooms and play grounds, equipment, furnishing and maintenance re- quirements, daily procedure to be followed by children and nutrition. al, health and medical require- ments. There will be no charge for the licence which is renewable yearly. Awards Totalling $180,000 Open To School Children Scholarships and bursaries to the value of $180,000 will be open to school children of Ontario this year who have intentions of going to university and have not the finan- cial means to reach their goal. Requirements laid down by the t of Education, just re- ceived by the Oshawa Board of Bducation, show slight: ' from the normal of previous yea: 'The major : features are the change. from' scholarships only to scholarships and bursaries, and the fact the department is making no distinction petween vocational high schools and general academic col~ legiatés as they have in previous years. They are all the same category for the purpose of application. Open to Students The awards are open to all stu- dents of Ontario normal schools, Ontario College of Education, pro- vincial technical institutes, and those in last-year courses designed for university entrance in provin- cial high schools. The awards are restricted to stu- dents of good character and health, with 'satisfactory recommendations from their educational authorities. They must be bona-fide residents of Ontario and not enrolled in courses leading to post graduate ont : The * 'scholarships and bursaries are for the first year at university, | tim or if attending Normal S¢hool the first year there.

The unreleating rain in Eastern Canada set back crops of all kinds and threatened reduction in har- vest of many grains, but probably the most damaging result is that the feed grain crop is only a por. tion of normal, and if the grain used to feed livestock isn't there, then the results multiply, Livestock and pork, poultry and dairy pro- ducts all suffer directly from feed grain shortage. Mr. Kennedy said yesterday that at the best a yield of feed grain Oshawa Labor Council « Would Lower Prices The Oshawa and District Labor Council is taking part in a nation- wide campaign to lower prices, re- duce profits and increase earning power, M. J. Fenwick, secretary The ca: , being conducted YS oc eted ions across Canada during June, is| designed to bring er into line with the trial capacity to goods. "Increased prices have had the effect of cutting the real earnings of Canadian workers". Mr. Fenwick sald. '""This . condition. seriously threatens the economy of the whole country. Wage rates in Canada have never been high and the continued increases in prices make it appar- ent that workers will be able to buy less and less of what they make, Unless this situation is remedied we face a very definite threat of a serious depression." Mr, Fenwick said the Council's ing pow- try's indus- - executive board was meeting to- night to draft plans for the wage drive which would include: unions ary foods. This means a real threat to the health of our people. "For these reasons the Oshawa and District Labor Council is tak- ing an active part in a campaign to be conducted during the month of June to restore the purchasing pow- er which is vital to prosperity." could be hoped for an only 30 per cent of the province's: 3,230,000 farming acres. In many sections no spring planting' was possible at all as farmlands remained under water weeks on end. Possibly 60 per cent of the acreage of feed graing was actually sown, but only half of it will be good at harvest e. 9 The Ontario Federation of Ag. culture met in Toronto yesterday and made arrangements for the na- tion-wide conference at Ottawa, under auspices of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Morrison said after this meeting: "Farmers are faced with consider- ably reduced income as a result of weather conditions, A year's work may bring farm families only six months income. Farm pecple would face a situation comparable to that faced by an urban family whose in- come was cut off for six months."
