Carnival At Cobourg Had 10,000 Crowd Cobourg, Aug. 5.--Never in the memeroy of the oldest inhabitant has such a crowd visited Cobourg as during the Civic hgliday week. end celebration. It is planned as ' an annual event and got off to a most auspicious start. The big day ~ was yesterday and the feature was . the huge calithumpian parade of over 100 entries. It is estimated ' that 10,000 people took in the events of yesterday. ' The program started off on Fri- - day night with a band concert. Saturday was featured by aquatic - events in the morning and a soap- . box derby in the afternoon. Sat- urday hight had another band concert, carnival and vaudeville, Sunday was marked by a special outdoor service in the park in the. evening, attended by several thous- "and people. However, the big day was Civic Holiday. Visiting bands included the famous Royal Tana. dian Artillery Band from Toronto. A thrilling aerial show was staged in the afternoon by RCAF planes from Trenton, which included a helicopter. The Royal Canadian _ Artillery Band presented an after- noon concert from the bandshell. ¢ The big week-end finally came to a conclusion last night in the park where the Cobourg Kilties presented a concert. The committee \ headed by Lyle Willson looked after the soapbox derby and the" Kinsmen Club handled the baby show. Members of the Kilties Band committee as- . sisted in the week-end program but the bulk of the work was looked after by Joseph Smith, secretary- manager of the Chamber of Com. merce. Following were the results of the competitions: The winning soapbox derby en- try had already taken top honors in a derby in Bowmanville two weeks ago. It was driven by Gordon 'Kilpatrick and outdistanced any. 3 the locals had to offer. Second was also from Bowmanville 'and driven by Bill Werry. Third was a Cobourg entry driven by Ted Curtis.

In Jerusalem, a sharp explosion shattered the early morning quiet of a dusk-to-dawn curfew area, but were no casualties from the blast, apparently caused by a grenade tossed at a British post near the Jewish Agency building. Approximatelly 40 Jewish leaders now are being held at Latrun de- tention camp, including the mayors of the all-Jewish towns of Tel Aviv, Nathanya and Ramat Gan. Most of the others being held were members of the Revisionist move- ment, which Revisionist newspapers say has no connection with any un- derground organization.

The source was commenting on a statement made in Vancouver Mon- | day by James Sinclair, Liberal member of The Commons for Van- couver North, Mr. Sinclair was quoted as saying in an interview that "when Mr. King, as is expect- ed, resigns next spring, the empha- sis will be on youth when his suc- cessor is chosen." Mr. Sinclair said Finance Minister Abbott, 48, was the leading contender to succeed the Prime Minister. Not Contest Another Election The statement was a "further stage" in the speculation on plans of the 72-year-old Prime Minister, said the source, He recalled that Mr. King stated during the 1945 general election campaign and since that he would not contest another general election. present' parliament expires in 1950. During the recent session some Liberal members said they had heard that Mr. King, on his doc- tor's orders, would resign in Sept- ember and turn the prime minis- tership over to External Affairs Minister St." Laurent until a new leader could be chosen at a nation- al convention and elected to the Commons. Other members said Mr. King would resign next June when he Attlee (Continued on Page 2) in restaurants and hotels. Longer hours for industrial work- ers wherever it was found that this would result in bigger production. The Government would take action in cases of "inevitable inefficiency" of management or unwillingness to .| co-operate, Agreement Aggravating Crisis The Labor Government leader told the House of Commons the | agreement reached when the Unit- | ed States advanced credits of $3,- 750,000,000 was aggravating the Brit- ish economic crisis. Attlee said the loan, originally intended to last until October 1950, would be exhausted by the end of this year, but denied that the Lab- or Government had '"'frittered away" the loan, as Winston Churchill charged in an address Monday. Attlee sald the dollar discussions would not "cut across" the current Paris discussions on the Marshall Plan for aid to Europe. Britain could not, and would not, base her plans on the assumption that the Marshall Plan would lead to further American help. Announcing the remedies the gov- ernment proposed, Attlee said one of the first essentials was the fur- ther redevelopment of domestic re- sources. "We must concentrate ag much as possible on those resources, on the reconstrution and develop- ment of basic industries and ser- vices, on the production of goods for export and on the production of all | those things which save us imports. | Nono-essentials must be cut out. | .The second essential was to in- | crease the total output so that Bri- | tain could stand on her own legs as soon as possible, The third requisite was to press ahead with plans for the expansion | of production in the colonial em- | pire, Set Definite Targets A definite target was being set in the basic industries and services, | with coal first of all. | Proposals had been put before | the mineworkers' leaders for a | limited period of an extra half | hour's work a day as an emergency | measure, while the five-day week | would still be preserved.

States was reported ready today to suggest that the United Nations General Assembly handle the Balkans situation if the Security Council cannot do 80 because of Russia's veto. The council was called to con- tinue debate on the Balkans, with the prospect of some of the plain- est speaking yet heard in that group of 11 diplomats. "mportant Statement Due An authoritative source said that Herschel V. Johnson, Uni. ted States deputy on the Security Council, was all set to make an important statement outlining the United States position substan- tilly this way: 1. The United States -hopes that the Security Council will act to meet the situation. But, if he council cannot do that through the use of the veto, the United States is confident that the Gen- eral Assembly will handle he sit- uation. 2. The Ynited States feels stron;ly on the Soviet use of ve- to. It does not like the implica tions in the Soviet action, 3. The United States has deci- ded views toward what it feels has been the defiance of Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria in refus- ing t) cooperate with the Secur- ity Council's subsidiary group left in the trouble area. 4. Finally, the United States, contrary to reports that it might ry to achieve a solution outside the United Nations, is definitely and firmly committed to the Uni. ted Nations and will exhaust all | Susy by Britain's Sir Robert Wal- | pole. | A few Liberal members said | | there was always a possibility that | world conditions would be such | | come next election time that Mr. King would feel obliged to reverse his earlier decision to retire. | Favor Younger Men The members agreed that | year-old Mr, St. Laurent would { have full backing of the party if he 65- | resources of the charter in trying | to solve the ques'ion.

His reference was to international conversations on Marshall's propo- {sal of American aid for Europe ec: onomic recovery, a proposal shunned bp Russia and the Eastern Europ- ean countries in her sphere.
