NR.R.A. announced y. it has cut off relief supplies to north China's war zones and given both. sides 15 days to approve a plan for letting shipments proceed in safety to Communist-held areas, "The- action followed a statement by the Chinese government that it was no longer able to protect the distribution operation in war zones, thu stopping the movement of U, N.R.R.A. supplies into Communist territory," the international ( relief agency said in a statement, Terrorists (Continued from Page 1) dier Guardsman in the face and threw several bystanders to the ground, including James Pringle and correspondent 'Carter L. Davidson, both of the Associated Press. Notes on Bodies Pinned to the bodies of the two sergeants were '"communiques" in Hebrew, telling of the "arrest" of the men, their "trial, conviction and execution in the name of the Jewish struggle for a : homeland." The inscriptions told how pleas for clemency were rejected at the 'mi- litary trial." The killings, the inscription said, were carried out as 'a military exe- cution by the eJwish resistance to the enemies of our homeland." Strangulation The contorted features of the two sergeants indicated that their deaths had been caused by stran- gulation by crudely fashioned nooses. ~The ropes were looped around limbs close to the trunks of the trees, The men's hands had been tied behind their backs and their feet had been wired together. The sergants' shirts had been used to blindfold them. Their under- clothing and army trousers were stained with blood which poured from the gashes ,cut into their necks by the half-inch ropes. Then the Blast The booby trap exploded as Grenadier Guardsmen attempted to out down Martin's body. The blast echoed throughout the historic for- est preserve in the plains of Shar- on, scene of many battles of Bibli- cal times. Natanya's mayor, Oved Ben Ami, who had received information from Haganah, that the bodies were in the area, was on the scene when the blast occurred. Tight-lipped and obviously fear- his resort city once again would come under military rule, he de- clared: "This is the most brutal crime they have done yet. All we've built and prayed, for now lies in the dust." u Will Search Military personnel in the Na- stances in which the bodies were found hastened to bases, "There will be some searches," one military source said, "and the populace may be inconvenienced a bit, but no military control is plan- ned, at least for the present." Police said they now believed the men, Mervyn Paice and Clifford Martin, had been held prisoner in a deserted factory near the edge of Die town since their abduction July Three days after the kidnapping the army clamped down military rule on Natanya, a Mediterranean resort town and Palestine's diamond capital. For two weeks troops combed the town and its environs in an unsuccessful search for the missing men, Irgun Zvai Leumi boasted openly that they never would be found alive if British authorities persisted in executing its condemned mem- bers. The Irgunists were executed for their part in a raid on Acre- prison last May in which more than 200 prisoners were freed and 16 per- sons were killed. . Persons who passed by the fac. tory where the sergeants were be- lieved held prisoner recalled today that they had seen two sacks being loaded into an automobile, but they made no report of the incident at the time. British authorities speculated that the soldiers might have been slain in the factory and strung up on the tree after death. Immediately after discovery of the bodies the area was cordoned off by police and dogs were turned loose in an effort to pickup a trail. A doctor summoned to the scene said the men had been dead about 24 hours, indicating they were slain within 24 hours after British auth. orities had executed the Irgunists in defiance of threats of revenge. Irgun Zvai Leumi had issued a "communique" yesterday declaring that its threats to kill the sergeants had been carried out and gave ex- plicit instructions as to where their ernment forest. British autHorities had made a partial search of the forest yester- day, but had proceeded with extreme caution for fear the area might be mined and as a result their hunt was fruitless. ; Jewish sources said both of the bodies were found hanging :rom a single tree in an orange grove within the boundaries of Natanya, Winnipeg Fiend Hunt Spurred Winnipeg, July 31-- (CP) -- Winnipeg police, with the ~ sex- slaying of two 13.year-old boys in January and September of 1946 stil' unsolved, today threw their resources into a hunt for a man reported to have indecently assaulted three children in a five-hour period yesterday. The children, two boys and a girl, were four, 53 and seven years respectively and all three assaults occured near the Winni- peg end of the Provencher Bridge which joins the cit" with St, Bo- niface, across the Red river, The unsolved slayings are those of Roy McGregor, whose body, shot three times, was found in = Fort Royge district coal yard in January, 1vys6, and George Smith, whose body, also with three bullet wounds, was found in a west-central lane the following September, photographer | _ bodies would be found in the gov- |' | . Paris, July 31--(AP)--French officals today tentatively blamed a lightning flash for a fire which last night swept through a third- storey room of a women's prison here, resulting in the death of 22 of the prisoners, Officials. said lightning appar- ently had struck a chimney of the four-gtorey stone building, igni- ting several boxes of celluloid and acetone, used in connection with the manufacture of cheap jewelry, The highly inflammable mat- erials blazed up instantly, tilling the workroom with. choking fumes, Authorities said the women who were trapped in the room ev- 22 Woman Prisoners Die In Lightning-Flash Fire idently were asphyxiated, for their bodies bore only slight burns, Only one was brought out alive, and she died in hospital a short time later.

Welcomed Mrs. MacLeod 'was introduced yesterday by kilted Premier An- gus L, Macdonald of Nova Scotia who referred to her as "this dis- tinguished and charming Jady." A spry 69, she took intense in- terest in the sword dancing, high- land flings and piping and often ros¢ from her geat for a better view, Scattered in a semi-circle about the stand were 3,000 Scots who stamped time to the bagpipes-- an accomplishment most Canad- fans find impossible. Many of the speeches were in Gaelic, for half of Cape Breton's 70,000 Scots speak the tongue, but both Premier Macdomald and the chieftain spoke in English. Mrs, MacLeod wore a skirt of the hunting tartan of her C.in and a MacLeod scarf draped over her shoulder over a yellow blouse. As the best hizhland-costumed girl gesterday she chose 16-year- old Jean MacNeil of Antigonish, ald tartan.

Regarding the 172 per cent boost in the price of its products in Janu- ary of this year, the company point- ed out in its statement that the in- crease "was only to compensate for the increase in the price of hides granted to the hide dealers under government order on that same date." The company said that under the terms of the present contract it was not "obliged to negotiate wages until the expiration of the contract." The company had agreed, the statement continued. to negotiate an increase "commensurate with the increase in the cost of living from January 1, 1947, and to negotiate on further wage increases this coming Nov- ember." This proposal was not acceptable to the union, the statement indicat- ed. Company officials said today they had learned of threats being made against foremen, who were being barred from the plant after a union decision yesterday. Several forcmen had been warned not to approach the plant gates since the "boys might be in an ugly mood," com- pany officials reported. International representative and other officials of the IF.L.W.U. cculd not be reached for comment this morning, Text of the company statement follows: "On November 30, 1946, the Company signed a contract with Local 205, I.LF.L.W.U,, which was to remain in force until Novem- ber 30, 1947. In that contract both parties agree to the follow- ing clause: Article XI -- clause (a) -- In view of the orderly procedure es« tablished by this agreement for the settlement of disputes and the handling of grievances, the Union agrees that, during the life of this agreement, there will be no strikes, slowdowns or stoppages of work, either complete or par- tial, and the Co.npany agrees that there will be no lockout, The Company woul: point out tract three strikes have taken place contrary to its terms, Also included in the contract, Article XI, is a clause which states: (e) In the event that a stoppage of work should occur, with or without the consent of the Union, for any reason what- dertakes and agrees that sufficient qualified men will remain on the job to ensure the working out of all perishable goods in process at the time o: such work stoppage. This clause is incorporated in ted with the LF.L.W.U. owing ture of the good~ in process, In ly ignored its obligations as set forth by the terms of this clause. 1 Despite the fact that the com- pany, under the terms of the con- tract, is no obliged to negotiate increase commensurate with the increase in the cost of living from {January 1, 1947, and to negotiate ion further wage Increases this that since the signing of this con- soever, the Union specifically un- most tannery contracts negotia- to the particularly perishable na. this case the Union -has complete~ wages until the expiration of the contract, it agreed to negotiate an Robson Says Offer- Fair proposal, on 'this basis, was not acceptable to the Union, The Company then presented another proposal to the Union, offering a general wage increase of 10c an hour and four paid sta- tutory holidays, which, we be- lieve, is comparable to settle. ments made in other industries in Oshawa in recent negotiations. In addition to this it must be pointed out that the tannery is noted for the steady year-round employment it provides, and the annual earnings of its employees over a period compare favorably with any industry in. Oshawa, which is borne out by the fact that almost 50 per cent , of the employees have a record of ten years' service or over. The Company also wishes to point out that the tanning indus- try in Canada is one of the few still operating under price-ceil- ing control, It is true that a 173 per cent increase in the price of leather was granted on January 18th of this year, but this was only to compensate for the in- crease in the price of hides grant- ed to the hide dealers under gov- ernment order on that same date." Foremen Barred Pickets moved into position out- side the strike-bound Robson Lea- ther Co. plant yesterday afternoon as Local 205 officials said company foremen would bé turned back while office personnel would be ad- mitted. This decision, reached at a meet- ing on the greensward in front of Cedar Dale School, is expected®to affect 10 men employed as plant foremen, Members of the office staff will be granted entry although Fred Collins, international representative of the Fur and Leather Workers, warned that they would be barred immediately "if they participate in any way in the productuion activi- ties normally done by any of the strikers." Thirty-man patrols were organ- ized at yesterday's meeting as the union prepared to throw a picket line around the plant on. a 24-hour- a-day basis. Regular shifts are be- ing employed by the striking leath- erworkers, While pickets sauntered back and forth on leisurely patrol, the grey- brick plant buildings remained hushed and sombre yesterday. Win- dows were open but not a sound flitted out. Two cars and a panel truck were parked in front of the office building while a lone com- pany truck was drawn up at a rear loading platform. Bales stood in neat rows on the platform with barrels of scrap at odd intervals, HOGG SWORN IN Winnipeg, July 31 (GP).--Dr. Thomas W.

Redmond Code, solicitor for the estate, said he did not know how much succession duties on the es- tate would amount to but it was believed they would be between $4,- 000,000 and $5,000,000. Lost in Hills, Find Lad, 6 Sudbury, July 31--(CP)--Discov- ered by a search party huddled against a log in rocky hills more than a mile north of here, six-year- old Gordon Boston of Sudbury was taken to hospital today after 36 hours in the hills. The lad was too weak to walk and will remain in hospital for a few days. A search party of 100 men hunted for the lad, who became separated from his father and a younger brother while out on the rocks. Scores of miners combed the coun- try while his distraught father, E. J. Boston, stayed up almost all night, using flashlights in an effort to find his son. The boy's mother is visiting her mother in Saskatche- wah, Marching On To Batavia, Indonesians Batavia, Java, July 31--(AP)--The Indonesian Republican Army said today it was "marching on to Bat- | N.S., who was clad in a MacDon- ! coming November, The Company's | avia" from several directions and {had come within 12 miles of its | goal. A broadcast Republican communi- | que heard by unofficial monitor here | reported Indonesian troops Tuesday reoccupied Tangerang, Serpong and Tjimene, all on a semi-circle about [12 miles south and west of this { Dutch colonial capital. The Dutch said this claim was "onsense." This correspondent has seen no sign of such Republican activity anywhere in the general Batavia area. Meanwhile, the Dutch govern- ment established the 'islands of Bangka and Billiton, rich in tin, and the Riouw Archipel (Archipel- ago), producer of bauxite, as auton- omous territories in the projected United States of Indonesia.

It is believed that he died about three days ago, and Dr. E. J. Bren- nan, coroner, said today that his death was due to starvation and neglect. The man was nearly six feet tall, and weighed only about 100 pounds at death, The body was found by Frank Gerbasi and his son ' Geno, who stumbled across the roughly con- structed cave while they were pick- ing blue berries. Built of stones and branches against an overhanging shelf of rock, and looking more like the den of an animal than a human habitation. It was almost invisible against its background of barren rocks and stunted, wind- torn pines. Mr. Gerbasi and his son looked inside and saw the body of Cessaniski lying on the ground. There were two roughly construct- ed bunks, and a five-gallon can which served as a stove, but no trace of any food. It is believed that Cessaniski liv- | ed in the cave, winter and summer, | for nearly 12 years. He was often [seen on North Bay streets, walking slowly with a six-quart basket on his arm, picking up cigaret ends and scraps. 2 Red Probe Said Unwise Ottawa, July 31--(CP)--The gov- ernment is unlikely to take any ac- tion in the request of Pat Sullivan, leader of the new Canadian Lake Seamen's Union, for a probe of | Communist activities in Canadian trade unions, informed sources said today. Sullivan, the man who quit lead- ership of the rival Canadian Sea- men's Union with charges that it was Communist-dominated, sent his request to Prime Minister Macken- zie King some days ago. One informed source said he could not see the government step- ping into the business ° either of unions or of companies on a witch- hunt for subversive elements. Such action was permissible and advis- able within the ranks of its own employees, but outside that scope it would border on the unwise if not the undemocratic.
