Refugee Ship (Continued from Page 1.) The two men took fright and drop- ped their weapons." British officials said the Exodus, 1047, an 1,814-ton ship identified in Baltimore as a former excursion vessel which saw service in the Normandy invasion in 1944 and lat- er as a troopship, approached Pale- stine off Rafah, a short distance from the Egyptian border. "She adopted evasive tactics which made it impossible for des- troyers to remain alongside for more than a brief period," the announce- ment said. "These tactics also re- sulted in damage to His Majesty's chins." : T+ ¢%~ *~wish broadcast purported to have emanated from the ship. ~ - o waptain was quoted as saying that the resistance continued for three hours, persisting, he as- serted, even after' the boarding party was aboard because of a re- serve steering wheel which had been built below decks. The broadcast claimed that the Royal Navy, in boarding the ship outside territorial waters, had com- mitted an "act of piracy." It sald the first 25 men and officers who stepped on deck were taken prison- er. 1st A Jewish informant here said the text of the broadcast was transmit- ted by Hagana, Jewish underground defence organization Two Peterborough Youths Are Injured Peterborough, July 18 -- (CP)-- Two Toronto youths--Bruce Tobin, 19, and Allan Sofford, 23--are in critical condition in hospital here from injuries suffered in a traffic smash-up on highway seven, five miles east of this city. Police said the car, proceeding toward Peterborough, left the high- way for no apparent reason on a straight stretch of highway. It careened along a ditch and struck a tree stop. The men were catapult. ed from the open vehicle, They were found 20 feet apart. { VULCANIZING « RE-CAPPING | BATTERIES « ACCESSORIES _ i, Returns to Canadian Pacific Service Quit Again, Is Foremen's Union Threat Detroit, July 18 (AP)--Thirty-two Ford Motor Company foremen ac- cused of "violence and terrorism" during a recent 47-day strike were fired today and their union coun- tered with the threat of another walkout, The Independent Foreman's Asso- ciation of America summoned its 3,800 members employed by Ford to a special meeting . Sunday, two weeks to a day after they voted to end their previous strike without gaining their objective--a new con- tract. Citing alleged acts of violence against non-strikers during that stoppage, Ford officials said they would not have "the type of person who participates in this kind of ganster terrorism" in their employ. The 32 were dismissed after in- vestigation and hearings, Ford said, and no further disciplinary action is contemplated. John S. Bugas, Ford vice-presi- dent and director of industrial rela- tions, said: "Clubs, knives and even guns were used by FAA goon squads, "We feel," he added, "that it is an intolerable situation when men are attacked and beaten, 'some of them permanently disfigured, and their wives and families threatened, their property damaged, because they hold different views on labdr mat- ters than their fellow-workers." Vandebelt (Continued from Page 1.) fractured skull, aided by strangula- tion." . Aside from attacking the credibil- ity of certain witnesses, Waters was outspokenly critical of officials at Lady Minto Hospital here, where the Toronto nurse was employed. Not Helpful In his summation to the jury, the Crown counsel said it was unfortum- ate that "the evidence has not been very helpful." He said the only positive testimony there was con- cerned the means of death and, "positive evidence the injuries could not have been self-inflicted or caus. ed by accidental falls." "The only conclusion is that it was murder," he said. Police had been unable to uncover anything resembling a weapon, fin- gerprint results were negative and there was no evidence of a motive, the Crown said. No Implication "Don't believe the stories told by some of the witnesses," counsel said. "But it would be unfair to bring in a verdict implicating anyone of the five (persons who were at the cot- tage) with evidence we have." Evidence bearing on the happen- ings at the cottage was "the most incredible story which I find it im- possible to believe," said Waters. "I believe some evidence not. true and some things not told." A further attack on the credibil- ity of the witnesses who were with Miss Vandebelt during the party at nearby Silver Queen Lake, June 21, came from Mr, Grummett who said they "were very unsatisfactory wit- nesses." "The evidence was . . . careless and callous," he added. No Motive Witnesses yesterday could offer no motive for the slaying and bore out previous testimony that when the party was ready to make the 17. mile return triy to Cochrane in the early morning hours, "Vandie" had disappeared. Waters sald that testimony by Rosco Sisco that Miss Vandebelt had agreed to stay all night with him and his friend Rober Gauthier was "fantastic" since such an ad. mission before the entire party by "a chaste girl" would have "cost her job, her reputation and in 24 hours all Cochrane would know about it." Girl Sober, Normal All witnesses agreed the girl was sober "and normal" prior to her disappearance. They said they thought she was "hiding" in the woods when they could not find her. Mike Tedesco, who attended the party with his wife, also a nurse, told the jury that he had not heard the girl make any statement to the effect she wanted to remain all night, but that Sisco and Gauthier had told him she had. Waters' criticism eof the hospital authorities was centred on Miss Wavey Day, pretty superintendent of the hospital who said it was none of her business what the nurses did. Referring to the superintendent's readiness to accept the story about a nurse not returning in the morn- ing, counsel said "there was a pre- posterous degree 'of negligence which I hope doesn't exist in any other institution maintained by public funds." rrr -------------- $1,000,000 FIRE ---- Austin, Tex., July 18--(AP) -- A fire causing an estimated $1,000,000 ~The sailing of the Empress of Can.da on July 16 from Liverpool for ® Montreal was referred to by the King as "he restoration of a vital link in our Commonwealth communications," The 20,000-ton liner, carrying 700 passengers in her remodelled cabins, is the first regular Canadian Pacific passenger liner to be back in peacetime service.

Bombay, India, July 18--(AP)-- About 70 survivors were reported to- day to have been found out of 721 persons who were aboard the 400- ton coastal vessel Ramdas when she sank yesterday in the storm-swept Arabian Sea, 12 miles south of Bom- bay. Manager L. Sheth of the Indian Co-operative Steam Navigation and Trading Company, Ltd., which own- ed the ship, gave this estimate on the basis of reports from villages and other places around Bombay harbor. ! Inquiry Omdr. H. J. Mills, principal sea transport officer of the Govern- ment of India, came here today and began an official inquiry into the disaster. The 11-year-old Ramdas capsized under the impact of two tremen- dous waves and sank within five minutes near Gull Island. She was near the end of her regular rassen- ger run from this city to the fish- Only 70 of 721° Aboard Escape in India Sinking ing village of Revas, across Bom- bay harbor. Some survivors, including the captain and part of the crew, reach- ed shore without help. Others were picked up by fishing vessels, but the harbor shores were reported littered with the bodies of victims. Harrowing Stories Survivors reaching here told har- rowing stories of how they had sav- éd themselves and how they had seen friends and relatives swept overboard from the sinking ship. One man said he escaped by crawl. ing through a porthole. Another survivor, so distressed he could not give his own name, said he had been escorting his sister to Reva and she had been swept off the deck before his eyes. One passenger was making a reli- gious pilgrimage with eight mem- bers of hig family, including his mother and four-year-old daughter. He was the only survivor of the group.

That mining laws covering in- stallation of electricity should be revised in a manner to comply with the Canadian electrical code con- cerning the competence of electri- cians and that frequent inspections be made of electrical systems. 6. That. each mine appoint a safe- ty man to work for the safety of the men and instruct them in safe- ty measures. . 7. That the mining laws should be amended to enforce the formation of a rescue squad in each mine. And in the interests of the mining in- dustry and to improve the security of its employees, it is recommended that the Lieutenant Governor in- voke his power under the law con- cerning the inquest of public af- fairs and order a full inquiry into the mining industry so that a sim- ilar tragedy cannot happen again. Heroism of three miners--Leon= ard Armstrong, Lloyd Bushey and Nils Strand--was praised by Coron- er L. P. Brousseau after the verdict had been read. The three made at- tempts under extreme circumstan- cs to aid in rescuing the dozen men who were trapped in No. 4 shaft. Just before the jury retired at 9 p.m, Robert Findlay, in charge of the rescue crews, said he believed that the men who did not escape had not lived more than five hours after the fire started. His testimony followed that of Strand, Paul Ger- vais and Germain Gatien who gave a graphic description of their es- cape and of the events preceding the discovery of the fire. Heeded Warning Gatien and Gervais both heeded Strand's warning that they had better leave the shaft when shift leader John Renaud, who went to investigate the: trouble, did not re- turn after 15 minutes. Strand told the jury that Renaud had not named a leader when he left the shaft and said that in any emergency, 16 men could have been removed from the shaft by bucket-- eight standing in the bucket and eight holding on to the chains, He said no one was appointed to listen or watch for a danger signal, but he doubted if one could have been heard because air was rushing into the shaft. > Competent Strand said Renaud, whom he had worked under for 1% weeks, was a competent leader. He sald the 10th level lunchroom, believed to. be where the fire started, was clean the night of the fire. He did not notice anything in the telephone box that night but said that once before he had found a device used for setting off blasts. Findlay, describing the rescue at- tempt, said that when his crew sig- nalled the men on the 10th level at 8 a.m, there was no reply. The fire started about 3 a.m. After that, he said his men made every attempt to put the fire out since they could not get down to the doomed men until the blaze was extinguished. "We saw we needed outside help, so we called Kirkland Lake. Later crews arrived from Timmins and Sudbury." There was "no question" that the fire started in the vicinity of the lunchroom and it was impossible to fight the fire properly since there was not enough adequate equipment for the rescue workers, $10 AND COSTS George E.

Delegates Wonder At Our Food Whitby, July 18--(CP)--Foreign delegates to the International Mis- sionary Council meeting here ex- pressed astonishment at the abun- dance of food available in Canada and one European inquired whether the culinary staff "was playing the black market," Marjorie Hill of Charlottetown, P.EI. sald today in an interview. Miss Hill, home economics teacher at the Ontario Ladies College here, shared responsibility with Verna' Grant of Staffordville. near St. Thomas, Ont, for planning and supervising preparation of meals for the 120 delegates from 41 different countries. Miss Grant's regular: job is dietitian at Toronto's Malvern Collegiate. Menus were drawn up to feature "typically Canadian food," Miss Hill said, emphasis was placed on milk, fruit and. vegetables which many delegates could not obtain at home. In addition. the mimeographed menus drew attention to Resti- gouche salmon, Canadian cheddar cheese and Canadian maple syrup. White bread was a great treat for delegates from countries where black or brown bread is standard and it was "just eaten up," said Miss Hill. Coffee was a big item. Brooklin Auction SA (Continued from Page 1.) the patronage accorded the auction by residents of the district. Featured among the myriad of articles were the dream-car, a new Frazer Manhattan Sedan, and a ngw Massey-Harris threshing machine. These, however, were not sold be- cause the bidding did not equal the previously entered reserve bids. Opening at $1,200 the bidding for the auto, which was to have been serviced for 90 days by Sharp Mo. tors, North Oshawa, was in the $2,000 bracket after two $500 jumps. From $2,500 the bidding crept slowly upward in hundreds and was finally stalemated at $3,000. The car was, after continued requests from Auc- tioneer Elmer Wilbur for higher bids, withdrawn from the sale. Al- though $1,350 was bid, the thresher was also withdrawn. Rain Fails Dampen Enthusiasm In a drizzling rain, Hee quarters of an hour later than scheduled, the auction began with Mr, Wilbur's powerful voice advertising an iron- ing board. It went for $3 followed in quick succession by an end table, cans of paint, a corn broom at $1.75. fresh peas, eggs, canned peaches, tea, cakes and a freshly.plucked chicken for $1.25. The sky was clear when Mr, Wil. bur interrupted himself long enough to announce that home-made pies with ice cream was available at the refreshment booth. Dozens of pies sold throughout tne evening. Up for auction came auto tires, a Sparton six-tube radio sold for $37.50, cameras, bags of flour, a horse collar, lawn mowers, a plastic purse and shoes for milady, a Cock- er Spaniel for $11, a sack of Timothy Hay, Collie pups from $1 to $3.50 each, ahd a Beagle Hound for $1.25. Any man could have started a farm "| with the pullets and calves, the sow with nine squealing pigs at $77, the lamb and the ducks. Even a house could have been furnished though somewhat precariously. Bingo had its place in the run-of activity and baskets of groceries were given as prizes, Rail Union Strike Vote In Offing Montreal, July 18--(CP)--Possi- bility of a strike by the workers of the Dominion's two big rail lines-- the CNR and CPR--hinged ' today on the outcome of a vote due to be taken because of a dispute over paid vacations. The two railways were advised yesterday by the negotiating com- mittee of the railway unions, of which F, H. Hall is chairman, that steps had been initiated looking to to the taking of a strike ballot. The committee charged that the action followed refusal of the companies to accept the unanimous findings of a conciliation board which rec- ommended a sliding scale of vaca- tions with pay. The committee, in a letter made public by Mr. Hall, said that the board had recommended that em- ployees with one year's service be given six days' vacation with pay. Those with three years' service would be entitled to nine days with pay and those with five years to 12 days. The committee chairman said that 112,000 employees of the two major lines and six other railways, are affected by the dispute. He added that 15 union organizations are involved, The railways did not make any immediate comment. The negotiat- ing committee letter was addressed to H. D. Brydone-Jack, CPR man. ager of personnel, and R. C. John- ston, CNR director of labor rela- tions, In addition to the CPR and the CNR, the lines concerned are the Pacific Great ' Eastern Railway; Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway; Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway; Ontario Northland Railway; Sydney and ° Louisburg Railway; Essex Terminal Railway. -- Huffy Romeo, 58, Is Given Term North Bay, July 18--(CP)--A re- formatory sentence of four months definite and four months indeterm- inate was given Louis Cinquina the 58-year-old Cornwall, Ont. mech- anic and father of 11 or 12 children, who set fire to his girl-friend's ver- andah here Tuesday.

Disclosure the police were hold- ing the two seamen on a charge of manslaughter was made by Deputy Director Hilaire Beauregard, of the Quebec Provincial Police at a press conference. Two of Beauregard's officers who conducted the investigation into the death of the stowaway, starting with questioning of the ship's crew after she arrived here last Satur- day, attended the conference, "It was not murder," said Beau- regard. "What we thought was blood turned out to be paint after in= vestigation." v "Just because they feared solitary | confinement for bringing the stow- away aboard, they let Harry die," said the deputy police director, as he unfolded a fantastic tale of whose first chapter was written on the teaming waterfront of Shang- hai where the stowaway got aboard the vessel. {Suspend Driver's Permit Three Month Period William B. Sanderson of Toronto, pleading guilty to a charge of care- less driving in Magistrate's Court this morning, was fined $50 and costs or one month in addition to having his driver's permit suspend- ed for three months.

Don't Believe All Dogs Say Over Telephone Los Angeles, July 18 -- (AP) -- After a brief telephonic conversa- tion with a lost dog, Bernard Iner thought he had located his missing terrier, Iner had advertised the pup's loss, and Vic Thomas, cab company manager who had found a dog, called Iner. "Ill put the dog on the phone," Thomas volunteered. "Hello," said Iner tentatively. "Woof," sald the dog positively. ,"That's my dog," said Iner, "I'll be out to get him." But he found out the animal wasn't his fox terrier at all, but a Scottie, which all goes to show you can't believe everything a dog tells you on the telephone.
