Bogota, Colombia, April 1 (AP)-- Anti-Communist feeling among the 21 Pan-American conference re- publics seemed today to be de- veloping into a demand for a firm stand against Russia. Chile's Foreign Minister, Juvenal Hernandez, called for just that yes- terday. \ Hernandez said Chile has align- ed herself with countries which de- fend democracy and liberty. "That should be the attitude of .all the nations of America," he told delegates, who burst into applause, |} Hernandez, representing a coun- try which recently seversed its re- lations with Russia, spoke . before the plenary session of the ninth Pan-American Conference. State Secretary Marshall of the United States set the stage for the anti-Communist pressure at the conference opening Tuesday when he asked if the question of sub- versive activity could be put on the agenda. He received unanimous assurance that it could. Brazil, another South American country which has broken relations with Russia, approved Hernandez' stand. Chief delegates of several 'other countries declined to comment di- rectly. Paraguay and Panama are known to favor a strong stand against Communism. Several countries are known to be concérned over the so- called "Slav front", which is be- lieved operating in various hemi- sphere republics.

It was shortly before 11 o'clock when Mr. Vivian stépped out of the Imperial Bank on James Street '|' South, near Main Street, walking south toward his car, which was parked near the northeast corner of Jackson and James Streets. As he began to enter his car, he was accosted by the gunman who pointed a revolver at him and said: "This is it." The man grabbed a brief case containing $1081750 and ran to- wards his own awaiting car on the other side of James Street. .

To Open Street (Continued from Page 1) that it would be simple enough to place traffic restrictions on the "| area to forestall any such traffic. To counteract any such possibil- ity of a sale of playground land, residents submitted an alternative plan whereby the city would estab- lish building lots immediately east of the Charlton property to be served by a loop street. Norman Millman, chairman of the planning board, said that he had no violent objection to the residents' plan but thought that the city would have a hard time selling the lots adjoining the industrial pro- perty. The main thing was to get Richmond and Colborne Streets d up as requested by the Fire Chief and the board had submitted its plan; believing it was the one which served the best interests of the citizens of Oshawa as a whole. Playground Area '1'00 Small In addressing council, Mr. Greer said that the delegation's chief con- cern was definitely a residential area' with many children and young families, "If ways are opened up, it will make a runway of Cadillac Avenue, Richmond Street and Beverley Street for the big vehicles," he said. He thought that the area set aside for a playground was too small to serve any useful purpose. "That playground buffer strip in- dicates it is your intention to go back to the 1946 plan which we op- posed," declared Mr. Eagle. "I think the buffer strip might eventually be sold to Mr. Charlton and there would be no buffer." "Do I get you right? Do you think this is being planned as a de- triment to you?" asked Mayor Mc- Callum, "It would seem $0," said Mr. Eag- le, who pointed out that his sus- picions were further aroused as the Charlton company had installed an expensive curb across the Rich- mond Street right-of-way. "You have made two or three insinuations here," sald Mayor Mc- Callum, "If you can back them up all right. If they are. just sup- positions, you had better make sure of your facts befare voicing them. I can assure you that not one mem- ber of council is trying to slip one over on. you, We just want to open up Richmond and Colborne Streets." After the delegation withdrew, Alderman R. D. Humphreys, sec- ondéd by Alderman Sam Jackson | Jr, moved that the residents' plan be adopted. He withdrew his mo- tion, however, when Assessment Commissioner W. E. Kerr, pointed out that the city owned enough property adjacent to Charlton's to exchange some land for the open- ipg of the streets and still havé enough fo put through a new street with Charlton's on the west side and building lots on the east." This suggestion met with the ap- proval of the council and Alder- man Michael Starr moved that the planning board study such a move. This motion was adopted. + Regular Meeting Postponed ' Before adjournment Alderman Rae Halliday asked if the presenta- tion of memorial plaques could not be extended to families in' East Whitby who had lost sons in World Whar II. While council was not op- | posed to this, it was felt that a line had to be drawn soméwhere and East Whitby Council should provide its own memorials. QOouncil decided to postpone its next meeting to Tuesday, April §, instead of April 4 as scheduled, TO ATTEND MEETING It was announced this morning that Dr. J. D.

The House put this "welcome Franco" provision into its bill. The Senate had ejected the idea. Senator Arthur Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) announced the compromise comimittee's decision to drop Spain. The committee is made up of five Senators and five House' members. Decisions of the committee are subjéct to ratification by the Senate and House. The State Department said it al- ready is having a bad effect in Eu- rope, and furthermore runs contrary to current policy on two major points. Vandenberg explained that the committee felt it is up to other Plan. Western European countries, rathes than thé United States, to say whether Spain should be welcomed to the plan.

Brown, 47, 487 Lakeview Avenue, was remandeéd one-week for sentence by Magistrate Frank S, Ebbs. A second charge of theft was with- drawn at the request of Crown At- torniey Alex CO. Hall. : Defence coun- sel was A. W.'S. Greer, K.C. Henry F. Bakiwin, manager of General Motors Parts: and Service Department, testified that Brown was employed. receiving parts off ransport trucks. Witness, valued the heaters, spark plugs, electric clocks and other parts exhibited in court at "about $150." In a statement to police Brown said he began work as.a stock re- ceiver in General Motors November 14, 1941. Asked where he got the car heater which he gave to a rela- tive, Brown claimed a man in the same department (Parts and Ser- vice) at the time got two heaters and sold him one for $9. He said an electric clock was given him by a transport driver who told him it had fallen out of a case. The spark plugs, he. said wesg picked up off the floor and taken home. He said he did not know where the parking lights came from. Later Brown told police he hought one of the heaters.tor $9 or $10, he wasn't sure, and a second was given him by a driver. The transport drivers took the material out of the plant on their trucks and met Brown at a particular place where the deals were transacted. Mr. Greer infor tite - Bench that accused had two child- ren whoswould have no 40 look after them if he was not at home. _ Argument of the Crown was that 'Brown was in a position of trust to see that the very goods he handled did not go astray.

Although the bill was sponsored by W. J. Grummett, C.CF. House leader, J. B, Salsberg (LPP--Toron. to St. Andrew) delivered a more lengthy speech in favor of the le. gislation. 'ie expressed regret that the gov. ernment did not see the need for establishing beyond doubt the law on matters of discrimination due to race or creed. Mr, Grummett called for suppors of the bill which would have pro. tected by law freedom of religion, speech and association and prohibi. ted discrimination against any per. son by reason of race or nationality in regard to education, employment or right of access to any place ser. ving the public. The CCF. leader admitted the need for further education of the people to stamp out discrimination, He expressed belief that. there should also be legislation to sup: port the drive against it. He sald there was an example for such legislation set by President Truman who advocated civil rights protection in the United States. Mr, Grummett cited as an exam. ple of discrimination the case of a Negro girl being refused admis. sion to a nursing course at Owen Sound.
