SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE United Polish Relief Fund Drive Will Open On Monday 'Mad Dog Killers' Slay 3 In Chicago; 1 Slain By | Police Chicago, Dec. 13 (AP).--Three gunmen, described by police as "mad dog killers," went on a shooting rampage last night and early today, shot and killed three men and wounded two others before one of the gunmen was slain by police and a second was seized. | Variety of Sparetime Activities at C.R.A. Headquarters Bodies of two of the victims of ® the gang's shooting spree were found J in western s.burbs early today, | about 10 hours after the trio had | slain one man in a south side garage and abducted four men. Two others who had been taken on the "gang ride" had been shot and wounded and also dumped into a highway in suburban Brookfield. However, one man, not seriously wounded, telephoned police. The four had been kidnapped at the south side garage of Nick Kuesis, 40, after the gunmen had fatally shot Nick's brother, John, 33, owner of a used furniture store. Kuesis's slayer was identified as Tom Daley, 42, an ex-convict, who was slain by a squad of detectives early today as he attempted to flee from a west side apartment. His slaying followed the seizure of one of his companions. Daley's companion told police that after shooting John Kuesis and abducting four men in the garage they drove to Brookfield where they shot John Kuesis' brother, Nick, and Frank Baker, 17, and pushed their bodies from the car. Nick, not seriously wounded, tele- phoned police. Police said John Kuesis, father of five children, had beaten Daley re- cently and that they had been on unfriendly terms for the last several weeks after Kuesis. had appeared as a witness against Daley during his trial on a robbery charge. Record Program At Oil Company Dinner Here At the McColl-Frontenac dealers dinner last night in the Genosha Hotel, five attending staff men recorded a "Did I Say That?" radio program with Harvey Dobbs, Don Wright and Peter Joyce, two an- nouncers and a technician of the original Alka-Seltzer quiz program. Mr. Dobbs told the assembled dealers that 25 to 30 recorded broadcasts were waiting to be put on the air. He expected that this particular recording would be heard "sometime between January 7 and January 15 at 6:50 p.m. over station B." Those taking part were: T. W. ndall, Toronto; George McDon- ald, Toronto; Lawrence Edgers, Port ope, C. P. Couper, Oshawa, and . Stocker, Bowmanville. Government To (Continued from Page 1) had given an emphatic "no" to a consumers' delegation which ear- lier in the day had urged re-im- position of controls, Mr, Abbott said he had told the delegation the same thipg as he had told Commons earlier in fhe week--that no over-all price eontrol policy could be enforced fn p~acetime unless the people were ready to accept over-all con. trol by the goverament of the country's economy. He had held out no hope to the delegation that over-all price control would be re-instituted. Although all parties through their leaders, have 'ndicated their willingness to support extension pf tht government's powers to the end of the fiscal year, an appeal for passage of the legislation be- fore the week-end adjournment da rejected. * Debate On Monday At the adjournment hour Yet- erans Minister Mackenzie, ' gov- ernment leader in the Commons, asked that members allow the legislation to go.through. Howev- er, F. D. Shaw (SC-Red Deer) said he wished to speak and the debate will be resumed Monday. At the house opening, Prime Minister Mac'enzie King said it was planned to adjourn the ses- sion next Friday night and re- sume sittings in the "latter part" of January. Defence Minister Claxton told the House R.C.A.F. personnel have been detailed to "follow up" every clue for the R.C.A.F, plane which disappeared on a flight between Calgary and Penticton, B.C., in mid-October. T. L. Church (PC - Toronto Broadview said he favored some controls such as the subsidy on milk, but he charged that the government's control policy was one of wait and see what Wash. ington was going to do. He felt that instead of turning toward Washington, Canada should stand by the Empire, which as a unit had more resources than ei- ther the United States or Russia. L. E. Cardiff (PC -. Huron North) said ,that price controls first were put on agricultural products, but. in the decontrol move the ceilings fire were lifted on the things the farmer had to buy. ) The Senate did not sit as many Senators attended the funeral of Senator J. J. Bench of St, Cath- arines who died earlier in the week. FORMAL ASSEMBLY In the Turkish Assembly, frock coats are obligatory and the presi- dent: must wear dress clothes and a top hat.

Frontenac family news dealers at Greenbank, Uxbridge, Orono, Port Perry, Bowmanville, Whitby and Oshawa. In the absence of the two 15-year award winners, A. McQuarrie, as- sistant division sales manager, said that an inscribed silver tray, a framed certificate and a lapel but- ton !would be presented to R. T. Love, Cobourg, and Charles Kiddle, Oakwood, on his next visit to their areas. Mr. McQuarrie told the dealers, "There is nothing alarming in the petroleum situation no matter what you read or hear in the news." He said that difficulties were being encountered in supplying regular accounts, "but we can sup- ply all our normal dealer require- ments," he declared adding that these were to be taken care of be- fore additional responsibilities were taken on. "Order your requirements as you need them," he suggested, "and I am sure we will be able to keep you supplied." C.R.A.

Later Queen Mother Mary will join the family circle at a small birthday dinner at which roast beef or chicken, the King's favor- ite dishes will be served. The re- turn of Princess Elizabeth and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, from their honeymoon in Scotland will make the day complete. Officially, the King's birthday will not be celebrated until next June when as customary it will be mark- ed with the triumphal glitter of the trooping-of-the-color parade by the Brigade of Guards. Only last Thursday the King passed the 11th anniversary of his succession to the throne and friends remarked how little he had chang- ed during the years of his reign. King George 52 Sunday Plans Day With Family Apart from greying hair and cer- tain tiredness around the eyes, he retains much of his youthful ap- pearance. He still has his boyish figure, abundant energy and a clear, healthy complexion. Recently he has taken to wearing glasses for reading. Among the papers on his wide-topped mahog- any desk at Buckingham Palace is the first draft of his Christmas day broadcast which he will rewrite many times before going on the air, broadcast has changed considerably sinee his coronation in 1937. Then he hated and dreaded the ordeal. But so gallantly has he overcome his former hesitancy in his speech that friends say he now is enthu- siastic over the annual talk to the commonwealth, Of late the King's duties followed much their usual pattern. - Desk work occupied his attention each moring from 9 a.m. until noon and part of the afternoon.

Should 'Command The Attention of Every Citizen "The United Polish Relief Fund which commences in Oshawa on Monday, December 15, is an appeal that should command the attention and sympathetic understanding of every citizen," said Ernie Marks Jr.,, manager of the local "At least 300,000 Polish families-- ® 1,350,000 men, women and children --are today in dire need of com- passionate help. The rebuilding of cities, the restoring to production of farm lands ravaged and depopulat- ed by the invader are proceeding The second colossal task takes time. Animals, seed grain, materials are scarce, Rats infest growing crops. Entire families up rooted and dis- persed still wander homeless and destitute, or seek aid in cities just beginning to rise from the ruins". "I wonder", said Mr. Marks, "if the people of Oshawa realize that one out of every six persons in Warsaw alone--=89,786 people--41,- 239 of them children-- is in need. 1,600,000 Polish orphans. Last year 1,193,000 children received a daily minimum ration but there are to- day at least 3,315,000 desperately in need of supplementary food, pow- dered milk, cod liver oil--and cloth- ing of all sorts. Tuberculosis and deficiency diseases are rife, Hospi- tal equipment, medical supplies are ¢ritically inadeouate. "I am sure", sald Mr. Marks, " the people of Oshawa will be in- deed sympathetic to this appeal. The aid we give these people now will determine the future of Poland. Starving, sick and miserable peo- ple--children reared in hunger, homeless and diseased--it is such things that drive human beings to extremes that breed conditions which' endanger the peace of the world." Mr. Marks continued. "In guaranteeing that all supplies will go only to those in real need under strict' supervision of its own Can- adian representatives in Poland the U.PR.F. of Canada provides the as- surance that the moneys contribut- ed will do the humanitarian work for which they are intended--that of helping gallant and self-respect- ing but unfortunate people to sur- vive the terrible shocks of war. How do we know that these people will get this help? I can give you no better authority," said Mr. Marks "than to give you the words of Mr. L. B. Pearson, Undersecretary of State for evternal affairs at Otta- wa, who says: "The Canadian Government . . . has everay sympathy with those unfortunates in Poland, who, as in many other countries, are suffering from want for reasons beyond théir control. All.goods purchased for the relief of those needy people will be bought in Canada and distribut- ed to those in actual want under supervision of Canadian officials Lin Poland. "The headquarters for this cam- paign will be in my own office, 11 King St. East, telephone 55, and all contributions should be made to Robert 'Argo, I7anager of Bank of Montreal, who has kindly accepted the position of treasurer and is al- so asking for your support for this Campaign. May I state that it is my confident belief and the belief of the Canadian officials at the head of this campaign that "the future of these innocent war victims now depends on voluntary aid, Mis- ery knows mo politics." Eastview People Made Permanent Waited upon by a 10-man dele- gation from the Eastview Neigh- bouriocod Association, City Council was informed last night that the residents of the east part of the city, south of King Street, were "100 per cent deciled" that the present temporary playground site was the best permanent location for a park in the area. While it was decided that no ac- tion would be taken at the meet- ing, Council agreed to hear Rupert Aldsworth, spokesman for the dele- gation, briefly. The Association had expressed concern previously at the possibility of the present playground property being sold for an Integrated Housing develop- ment. Mr. Aldsworth said it was felt that the present site, north of Gliddon Avenue between Highland Avenue and Wilson Road, was large enough and in the best location for future development. They were not prepared to take as an alterna- tive the area originally designated as a park, which is located on Wiu- lingdon Avenue in the vicinity of Eulalie Avenue. The latter, they sald, would be only a few blocks from Bathe Park. The present site, which is 500 by 240 feet in dimension, had been granted as a temporary playground until such time as it would be feasible to develop the other area. The delegation was informed last night that they would be notified before taking any action on the matter, They were not heard at greater length last night because ol the lengthy agenda for the meet- g.
