Hopes To Speed Session To End With Flood Victims Hold Night Sitting As Heavy Agenda Covers 28 Items By Ross Munro Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Nov. 13 (CP)--The United Nations General Assembly went into plenary session today at Flushing Meadow, prepared to consider 23 items in morning, after- noon and evening sittings as delegates sought to speed this year's meeting to a close within the next two weeks. . One of the top items on lenthy agenda is the election to the lone unfilled seat in the 11-mem- ber Security Council and it was tak- en for granted that the Ukraine would be chosen, now that India, e other contestant, has suddenly drawn, The Indian delegation yesterday 1 tedly announced India was ing- out-of the long-deadlocked face for, the remaining open seat, leaving the field open to.the Uk- raine republic of the Soviet union. . IN explaining this action the In- dians said the deadlock "made many people consider the possibility of ghanging the entire procedure of eleetion" and for this reason "India withdraws from the contest. THis was interpreted by some ob- servers as an indirect slap at Can- & which has been seeking to Streamline Assembly procedure to make it more workable. Assuming the Ukraine is elected, taking the place of Poland, the So- viet Bloc will continue to have two effective minority votes in the Council from next Jan. 1 when the three new members--Canada, Ar- gentina and the Ukraine--will take their place at the table. Other items on the Assembly's agenda include consideration of the "Little Assembly," the Korean In- dependence Commission, a resolu- tion again rebuking the Franco re- gime in Spain and the proposal for holding the Assembly in Europe in 1948. More wordy debates are expected on the "Little Assembly" and the Korean Commission, both of which e Soviet Bloc has said it will boy- obt. In the political committee yester- day, Britain teamed up with Russia in the adoption of a resolution re- affirming last year's U.N. condem- nation of the Franco Government in Spain. The vote was 29 to six, with Can- ada, the United States and 18 other members abstaining in an indirect protest against this action. Both Canada and the United States con- sidered the resolutionunconstitu- tional under the U.N. charter, NEW RADIO-TELEPHONE Kingston, Nov, 13-- (CP) -- A radio-telephone apparatus has been, installed in the fog station at False Duck Island for commu-. pication with the.government op- ated marine station here, it was disclosed yesterday, The #tation constructed by the Department of Transport, will be in operation until close of navigation in De- cember.

The prohibition, aimed at plug- ging leaks in the American food conservation program, is embodied in an order-in-council just passed by the cabinet, and will bring to a halt a flow of ths cereal grain into Western Canada, which was sald to have reached substantial proportions. The preamble to the order, to be made public shortly, refers directly to this flow with the statement that "uncontrolled" shipments of rye out of the United States "dis- turbs" measures being taken by that government to conserve cereals and cereal products and provide more food for starving European countries. ' It is understood that the order results directly from shipments which were being made to elevator companies by United States citizens se to take advantage of high prices for rye prevailing on that market as against those offered at Minneapolis and other American grain marketing points. A request for prohibition was made by the United States 'Govern- ment through Hume Wrong, Cana- dian Ambassador at Washington, and the Canadian Government, .act- ing under wartime powers still ex- isting in the Imports and Exports Act, took restrictive action. "Passage of "the order coincides with a charge made at Washington last Saturday by Rep. Harold Knutson (Rep., Minn.) that Cana- American rye for shipment to Scot- land for production of Scotch whis- k y. While Knutson thus implied that Canadians were responsible for the importation of rye, it is understood here that the grain actually has been shipped into the Dominion by Americans themselves. No estimate is available here of the quantities of rye coming into this country, but Knutson said at Washington that constituent who visited Emerson, Man., Nov. 4, wrote that he saw 56 trailers, each con- taining about 700 bushels of rye, waiting to be unloaded at elevators there, .

The west side of Broadlands is reflected picturesquely in the River Test, thousands of bushels of American- grown rye have been sold in the Canadian market, and that several million bushels remain to be mar- keted, Winnipeg, Nov. 13--(CP)--Grain dealers in 'Winnipeg said last night that the flow of United States rye into Canada--a flow which the Can- adian Government is about to ban --was brisk earlier this fall but, of late, had been falling off. They said two causes contributed to the decline. While the Canadian price still is higher than that paid in the United States -- the initial cause of the flow--Canadians now had to pay United States farmers in Canadian funds and.the rye in the area in which it was economical to purchase it had been' pretty well evhausted. (Until about three weeks ago, Canadian farmers could pay in Un- ited States funds but this has been prohibited.) Without access to customs figures or government records, the sources added, it was impossible to estimate how much rye had been involved in the flow. Once brought across the border, it was sold to elevator com- panies 'and then went 'into the nor- mal Canadian flow to mills or over- seas. shall be held on in the Act:-- nomination. nominated." wise he shall be deemed to be Nomination Meeting ' Notice is hereby given that a meeting of the electors of the Municipality of the City of Oshawa will be held at the CITY HALL SIMCOE STREET NORTH on MONDAY Nov. 24, 1947 AT 7.30 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON for the purpose of receiving nominations for the offices of Mayor and Aldermen for the year 1948, and members of the Public Utilities Commission and the Municipal Board of Education for the years 1948 and 1949, If a poll is necessary, polls for taking the votes of the Electors MONDAY, Dec. 1, 1947 'beginning at 10.00 o'clock in the forenoon and continuing until | 7.00 o'clock in the afternoon.

The prosecution, which charged that Van Meegeren's proceeds from sales of the cleverly-faked paint- ings amounted to approximately $2,800,000, had asked a 'two-year sentence. Buyers included Her- mann Goering and the Rotterdam Museum. Van Meegeren acknowledged that he had signed the names of such old masters as Vermeer and Pieter De Hooch to his paintings, but he pleaded innocent to fraud. The trial put on record one of the most dra= matic art 'scandals of modern times. : Internationally - recognized exe perts in the field of art had certie' fied the authenticity of the painte ings before chemical and X-ray: tests, proved they could not be what they purported to be--master= pleces of some of the greatest 17th: century artists. Van Meegeren said he had painte ed the pictures, rot for the mone ey, but to prove to the world that he was a great painter. For his 1937 picture, /Disciples of Emmaus," in the style of Vermeer, he said he used canvas from a real 17th cen- tury painting and then cracked it to lend it the flavor of antiquity. of Nottingham, and also the Red Cross workers who worked so hard and distributed the gifts so well and fairly."
