A score of Jews were wound- ed in'last night's shootings, which a reliable source attributed to Tom- mies bent on revenge for the hang- ing by Irgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish Underground Organization, of two British sergeants at Natanya, Pale- stine police have begun an investi- gation of the shootings. As the funeral procession, led by the chief rabbi ang city councillors, approached the great synagogue, an armored car allegedly manned by British police moved toward it, its Bren guns manned and swinging in arcs. The informants said shots came from the car as it withdrew. Eight Jews Wounded 'The Tel Aviv incident touched off a series' of sharp clashes. Eight young Jews were wounded by gun- fire and 16 others were reported in Jured in clashes with the police and military. A private source said troops opened fire when a group of young Jews stormed Barclay's Bank and other groups overturned an army truok and stoned the General Post Office building. ' (A Reuters Jerusalem dispatch said a Jewish source reported that enraged Jews had attacked the Dis- trict Commissioner's office in Tel Aviv after more than 30 Jews were injured--three from bullets and the remainder in police baton charges). Attacker Shot Four Times The attack on the Hampshire Re- giment headquarters here was made against the entrance to the perim- eter of its defences. The attackers threw two mattresses over the barb- ed wire and tossed in a grenade in an attempt to breach the defences. One of the attackers was shot four | Mp times, and he was found laying in the street, a grenade clutched in his hand and a Sten gun magazine in his hip pocket. A suspicious-looking package was found under one of the mattresses, and sappers investigated it as pol- ice instituted the search for the attackers, a TRE Both the army and police at. first denied that their men were impli- cated in the Tel Aviv affair.

Sea Cadets En Route to Britain Check Duffle Bags U.N. to Act On Threat To World Peace By JOHN A. PARRIS, JR. Lake .Success, N.Y., Aug. 1 (AP) 1--The United Nations, struggling through the most critical period {since it was established, moved to- day to act on charges that situa- tions in Indonesia and the Balkans threaten world peace. Meeting under emergency condi- tions, the U.N. Security Council scheduled a 'session for 10.30 a.m. (EDT) to consider issuing a de- mand that the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia cease "| hostilities immediately. This session was to be followed by an afternoon council meetigg to take up Greek charges that Yugo- slavia, Bulgaria and Albania have * | committed 'acts of aggression -- a move instituted by Greece with United States backing to counter a Russian veto of an American pro- posal to place U.N. trouble-shooters '|along the Balkan borders. shows Edgar Wilson of Winnipeg that he has his swim suit.

British authorities met here yes- terday to plan new measures against violence and one said some form of military control was probable un- less the Jewish Agency co-operated fully in the campaign. [Later a spokesman said the Agency had pleaded with the government not fo apply "contemplated punitive meas- ures" -- measures, on which the spokesman did not' elaborate. $100,000 Damage Caused by New Brunswick Storm Edmundston, N.B., Aug. 1 -- (CP)--Debris was being cleared from storm.littered streets and fields today as stunned farmers surveyed a two-mile swath of de- salated farmland in this rich Nor. thern New Brunswick potato dis- trict, . Preliminary estimates placed the damage of yesterdays fierce 30-minutes hail, rain, wind and electric storm at more than $100,.: 000, but farmers said it would be days before they could cor- rectly estimate the exact damage. to their crops. ' Striking yesterday afternoon, and lasting less than 30 minutes the roaring storm left a trail of demolished barns, wrecked farm machinery, and flattened . potato and coarse grain crops. by For the farmers it'was a hard blow; potato ~- digging time was only a month away, Sweeping across the Northern ine border, the storm "struck with intensity at nearby St. Hil. aire. Five barns were blown down; seven farm houses had-all their windows on the windward side blown in, and damage to farm machinery alone was coun- ted at more than $3,000, Light and power lines were severed and were not restored un- til late in the night, One person, an unldentified woman, suffered undetermined injuries when a huge tree crash. ed through the kitchen walls where she was huddled with 14 other persons, The others escaped unhapmed, Tall trees were lying uprooted; tlephone lines were down, "and crops flattened to the ground. Old-time residents of the dis- triet could recall no such damag- ing storms in their memory. Fishermen said the St. John River had risen at least three feef and predicted that it might ruin their profitable salmon busi- ness, Here, too, crops were damaged, windows broken and highways littered with debris. But farmers reported that the majority of the farms in the area had escaped severe damage, Crush Terrorism, British Press Cry London, Aug. 1--(Reuters)-- While reports from Palestine told of fresh disturbances there, a wave of anger and condemnation at the murder of the two British sergeants by Jewish terrorists swept through today's - British press which called for immediate measures in crushing terrorism and in arriving at some solution of the genera] situation in Pales. tine, The widely-read Daily Express said editorially: "Not in the black annals of Nazi wickedness is there a record of an outrage more vile than this". . "At this moment the Holly- wood writer, Ben Hecht, with full knowledge of the fate awaiting these tvo soldiers, reopens 'his campaign of hatred and vilifica- tion in the American press. "Every good Jew throughout tha world rejects with loathing the propaganda of this man Hecht and the "satanic deeds which he acclaims." An editoria' in the Conserva- tive Daily Mail said: "These. ter- rorists. are the worst enemjes of the Jewish cause. They would: have found honor under the swastika. "This outrage is condemned by all 'decent men and womep--Jew as well as Gentile. Two innocent mothers' sons have been hanged. Are there any American .women whose "dollars helped to buy the rope?"

Britain is importing about- £150;- 000,000 worth of goods a month and exporting: £93,000,000. Most of the deficit is being met by drawing from the American and Canadian loans. Cabinet Mapped Program The Big Five cabinet ministers, Prime Minister Attlee, Ernest Bevin, Herbert Morrison, Hugh Dalton and Sir Stafford Cripps, thrashei out details of the crisis program Which Attlee will announce in parliament next week and which will mean great austerity for .the whole Bri. tish nation. Other measures expected were: 1. To reduce 'the foreign ex- change deficit without waiting for United States aid or the outcome of fie Sintshall-ald.To.BurOp tags in '2. To include food and raw ma- terial as well as the armed forces in the cuts, and in fact, ask the Bri- tish people to consent to every sac- rifice: which can be made "withon! acute danger of reducing production. 3. To end continental holidays for many thousands of weary Britons by: reducing the present allowanee of £75 a year to £50 or less which it is haped will convince would-be travellers that such trips are not worthwhile, 4. To divert coal and raw ma. terials into the principal export in- dustries 'at the expense of home production which was just begin. ning' to relieve some of the coun- try's wartime austerity. Tobaeco, Movies Intact Among imports expectel to Le left intact are tobacco and movies, while the question of dollar costs for the occupation of Germany is highly complex and not yet de. cided. Imports of fruit, asparially luxury fruits, and tinned goods which have done much to vary the monotonous diet also are expected to be re- duced. The expected cuts in the armed forces will probably take the form of a speed-up in the present de- mobilization scheme: Informed cir. cles regard a speed-up as particu- larly likely in. the Mediterranean area, where British forces in Aus- tria and. Venezia Giulia are con- suming amounts of dollars, Remaining British troops in Greece are certain to be brought home quickly. . No plans, however, so far seem to have been agreed for any imme- diate reduction of occupation forces in 'Palestine and Germany, two areas where it -is argued that no substantial. reduction of cost is pos- sible short of a total "pulling out."

PLANS Orillia, Aug. 1.~Plans for. a pro-|, ; posed addition to the Orillia Col-, legiate Institute were approved this week when representatives. of the | municipalities. involved in the new First Settlers For Ontario Leave Tomorrow Pr -- By STUART UNDERHILL Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Aug. 1 (CP).--A trans- port airplane ~ taking off from Northolt Airport 'near London to-- morrow with 40. future Ontario set- tlers aboard "will' make history as they are pioneers of the first mass emigration by air," said a statement issued- today by' Ontario House. *- They are the first of 7,000 Britens flying to Ontario under a Provincial 'Government plan aimed at meeting shortages in various industries. The statement said it is planned to fly three planes a week during early August, increasing the flights to 12 weekly in September and October until all are moved. A Trans.Ocean Airline plane is to carry the initial party and is du2 to land at Malton Airport near Tou- ronto Sunday. The statement said that "several thousand" emigrants had been sent to .Canada by Ontario during the last 3% years by various routes and "with few exceptions seem to have quietly and successfully fitted into life in Ontario." It was because of this demad to migrate and the province's need of men that the air transport plan had been drawn up. The response to it was "most encouraging" and from 80 to 100 persons daily were being examined and cleared. The transport arrangements were worked 'out between Trans-Canada Air Lines and Trans-Ocean, with T.C.A. sponsoring the flights. ~ "Ontario is carefully screening its emigrants," thé Ontario House an- nouncement continued. "It wants certain types and not others. It only wants some trades and is exercising caution " becpuse of the housing shortage in some of its larger cities. Each applicant is intérviewed by a team 'of interviewers 'and about '10 per ceht' are' rejected." Ask Clemency For Dr. Alan Nunn May * London, Aug.' 1--(AP)--A delega- tion to the Home Office headed by Harold J. Laski, former chairman of the Labor Party, asked clemency for Dr. Alan"Nunn May, who is serving a 10-year sentence for giving atom secrets to an undisclosed foreign power. 'Laski and the others contended that the sentence, imposed in May, 1946, under the Official Secrets Act, was too severe and that May's ser- vices 'as an atom physicist were needed by the country. Home sec- retary Eden announced no action on the request. May worked during the war with Canadian scientists on atomic re- search problems in the Dominion, C.R.A.

Kennedy concluded the revue by introducing Matt Gouldburn at the plano and requesting "Gus" Habberfield to lead in a commupity sing beginning with the late FDR.» favorite, "Home on the Range", The response was louder last night than it was the first time a community sing was tried. When they have another chance to sing, one may well expect to lose one's own tune in the din; let' us hope for such choral volume anyway. The Band, with some members who were ab- sent on vacation being replaced by musicians from the Civic and Regi- mental Band, played "The Dawn of Spring" by LeDuc. This was the test piece the boys played when they were chosen best at the Water- loo Music Festival a few weeks ago. The North Oshawa School girls' choir, conducted by Mrs. A. Fisher who came from Toronto especially for the concert, sang "Spin, Maiden, Spin" 'and "Fairies". The ever- beautiful "Believe Me If All Those Enflearing Young Charms" was rendered a8 a solo by veteran cornetist at 11 years, Jimmy Hazle- ton" from Westmount. Pantomime Suite Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker. Suite" is a symphony considered by many fo. -be the . clearest musicspicture ever composed. It became a i; color movie in the bandshell as the concluding yet premier selection on the program. Marie's experi- ences in dreamland on a Christmas Eve were panfomimed by children from all over the city who had been studying their parts diligently in the Community Recreation Hall on Gibbs Street for a little longer than the past fortnight. While Marion Cornett. narrated the fairy story, recordings of the famous Suite formed background music for the dancing and acting. Credit for the production is due that very popular gentleman, Rob- ert Coleman, whose brain-child it was. The costumes were made by the children at the Hall and the keen interest of each individual who took part is to be commended. Last night's concert will be recorded as a milestone in the history of the McLaughlin Bandshell and of the CRA, in this city.

An immediate decision was ex- pected on an Australian demand donesia. This demand was made to the 11- power body yesterday and brought a quick ' retort from the Nether- lands that the United Nations has no jurisdiction so intervene in the Indonesian fighting. Before a vote could be taken on the Australian demand, Herschel Johnson, United States Deputy Delegate, announced that his gov- ernment was prepared to lend its help to both the Dutch and the In- donesians in settling their differ- ences, American sources said that the United States agreed in principle with an Australian proposal that hostilities cease immediately in In- donesia but that it could not sub- scribe to the implication that a domestic situation is a breach of international peace. Dr. Eelco N. Van Kleffens, new Dutch ambassador to. Washington, said that his government is prepar- ing invitations to several govern- ments to send representatives to Indonesia to investigate the situa- tion and report to the world. Both the American and Dutch offers appeared a move to relieve the Security Council from making a drastio decision. The Greek Government was re- ported to have told the United States even as Johnson began dis- cussions with high State Depart- ment officlals, in Washington Wed- nesday, that it was prepared to haul the three Soviet-backed Balk- an countries before the Security Council to answer charges of ag- gression, Indians Claim Cornwall City Their Property Cornwall, Aug, 1--(CP)--Add to Cornwall's rental worries: In- dians of the Six Nations Confed- eracy, using an ancient map as basis for their claims, are deman. ding a fair proportion of the tax- es raised in this city as "rent" be- cause, they say, this city of 15,- 000 belongs to them. The Confederacy claims a large area of land, including Cornwall and a six-mile stretch of the St. Lawrence River waterfront was designated as an Indian reserve. The claim is te be pushed in Ot- tawa by Peter L. Johnson of St. Regis, Que. assistant head chief of the confederacy. dians also argue that all the numerous islands in the St. Lawrence River between Pres- cott and Lancaster, a distance of some 50 miles,. are rightfully theirs, as well as 23,064 acres of land in Huntingdon County, Que. Occupation Plan Revision Seen As Certainty Washingtén, Aug. 1(AP) --e ing ecomomic phight, has told the United States informally 'that she must make sharp new cuts in her world stability commitments. at home a fast-dwindling supply of American dollars, Diplomatic authorities said toe .|day the informal] talks have been going on for several days, cen- tring primarily on revising the Anglo-American agreement for Germany's occupation, Under terms of that agreement |signed last December, the two countries merged their occupa. tion zones for economic purposes with costs split on a 50-50 basis, But, because many of the bae- sic needs for German occupation [fall in a category of supplies in which Britain herself is deficient, Britain has been forced to turn |'to the United States for the purs chases paying for' their part of ithe load in dollars. . British officials here insist that | there has been no formal request that the Security Council take ur- as yet for a change in the 50-50 gent steps to stop hostilities, in In. | formula, Rather, they have. put it to 'heir American colléagues this way: : It has become apparent that Britain will run out. of dollar credits, perhaps within the next six to eight months, and must re. duce imports for which dollar payments are required, If she re- duces such' imports at home, it is , obvious she cannot pay for sim. flar imports to be gent to Germs any, London was reported to have hoped that the conversations could take in not only Ruhr coal and its effect upon economic ree covery of Europe, but the possie bility of lightening Britain's oc. cupation burden, both financially and in manpower requirements. British spokesmen have ade vanced the arguments that (A), Britain, too, has coal mines una derproducing for. lack of mane power and lack of modern equipe ment and (B) their full produc- tion also could give recovery a shot in the 'arm and strengthen the Western powers, The graveness of Britain's ec. onomic predicament was under. scored only this week with the disclosure that she had with. drawn another $300,000,000 of her year-old American loan. It is left orly $1,000,000,000 of the $3,750,000,000 original credit, Take Jail Term (Continued from Page 1) an income of about $25,000 per year, such income being made up largely of returns from baptisms, weddings and funerals but, Mr. Mc< Lelland said, these fees are not re. ported as part of the income of the priest, "yet they go to him per. sonally." During the church meeting a young man in the front row of the balcony continued saying his Rosary and his lips moved in prayer as he listened to the speakers. Following the addresses the con. gregation passed a resolution calling for Mr. Justice Thorson's remo¥.l from the bench. WARNING AGAINST.
