WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE Dieppe Survivor Going Back to War Council Does Not Dictate Labor Voting Speaking last nignt on election issues to the Oshawa. and District Labor Council, Secretary M. J. Fenwick denied the allegation of Liberal candidate Lyman Gifford that the council dictated to its members and affiliates to vote labor. He sajd it had never dictated nor intends to dictate to trade unionists the way to vote. "But," he declared, "we recom- mend and urge trade unionists in the riding to vote C.C.F. The best investment any trade unionist can make is to vote for labor on June 7 and June 8, because no matter how renowned or esteemed the other candidates are, they will never do us any good." Mr. Fenwick cited an action of Conservative candidate Mayor Frank McCallum when he said in an advertisement that he was against high prices. Some time ago when the Labor Council asked City Council to support reimposition of price controls, "they turned thumbs down on the proposal." "Why has he changed his mind? Not because the price of butter went up two cents. He wants our vote," Mr. Fenwick charged. The speaker declared the Labor Council was not ashamed of telling people to vote C.C.F. He suggested the: campaign was "a little frigid just now," but added it would get hotter as the days went by.

London Letter By STUART UNDERHILL Canadian Press Staff Writer London, May 12 -- (CP)-- Every spring it's the same. The galleries of stony Burlington House resound with bustle and activity as the an- nual exhibition of the Royal Acad- emy is prepared, and then the eri- tics move in for another round of their endless argument: "What is art?" With more than 1,400 exhibits of oil paintings, water colors, pencil sketches and goodness knows what else, there's plenty to argue about. The modern school always accuses the/ selection committee of the . Acaddny with being too stodgy and old - fashioned, while members of the old school snort about the rub- bish that's being admitted nowa- days. Most of the critics seem to think that the selectors did a pretty fair job this year--"a fine display of taste" is how the Times described it. There are pastoral landscapes galore, numerous portraits, and very little in the experimental line, Last year 157,382 persons visited the exhibition -- a turnout thats sure to be repeated this year, . Most of them will look first for Winston Churchill's three well-ex- ecuted oils: "The Goldfish Pool, Chartwell," in which he tries to capture the flash of the fish in the blue-green depths of the pool, "Blenheim Tapestries" and "The Blue Sitting-Room, Trent Park," both interiors. 'Then no doubt theyll head for the portrait of Mrs. Daphne Wall, by John Merton, which has caused more controversy than any picture in the exhibition. Most people will like it. It shows blonde, beauti- ful Mrs, Wall in three full-length poses. A full face figure, in even- ing dress and holding a glass. dom- inates the centre; behind it are profile versions of the sitter. Despite its popular appeal, the selection committee was going to reject i8, and only changed tis mind when Sir Alfred Munnings, Presi- dent of the Royal Academy, threat- ened to resign. "It's magnificent," sald Murititags; describing his indignation when he found the 'picture was not going to be hung, "And they accepted trash that I wouldn't even use as a dart board!" This year, the 180th exhibition, there was the usual rush to buy. The first day 150 pictures were sold |. ' |employmenta," replied Senator Cre- | for a total of £11,691 ($46, 704).

Marshall as he testi- fied before the House foreign affairs committee at Washington, D.C., in tion with proposed legislation that would commit the United States as an advocate of elimination of the veto in the United Nations. In the event that Russia refused to agree to elimination of the veto, a body of anti-Soviet powers would be created. Secretary Marshall advised the committee that while the U.S. favors amelioration of the big powers' veto in certain circumstances, the government does not favor all-out elimin- ation, Tomatoes Go To $1.15 Because People Pay It, Testimony Ottawa, May 12 -- (CP) -- The Commons Prices Committee Tues- day returned to the examination of M. N. Robinson, secretary-treas- urer of the Ontario Fruit Md Vegetable Growers' Association. He repeated his contention, first made Monday, that Canadian growers suffered from the trade's undue reliance on imported pro- duce. Mr. Robinson gave four reasons for last autumn's rise in vegetable prices: 1. The existence of a free mark- et, subject to the law 'of- supply and demand. 2. The import restrictions which cut off supplies from some Ameri- can vegetables. Haig Asks On Jobless Ottawa, May 12 -- (CP) -- All kinds of questions on employment | were thrown today at an Unem- | ployment Insurance Commission official by the Senate Commtitee on immigration apd Labor. It finally recommended for adop- tion an act to amend the Uaem- ployment Insurance Act, but only after C. A. L, Murchison, U. 8. C commissioner, gave a two-hour i tailed explanation of the insurance scheme in general. Senator J. T. Haig (PC--Mani- toba) asked why such persons as | bank clerks and law students have | to pay unemployment insurance | when their jobs, except in rare cas- | es, are permanent, He also. wanted to know why the | commission cannot give fgiures showing how much one labor group pays in unemployment insurance, | compared with the amount paid by another; and he requested fig- vres showitig how much each group hos Syn in benefits. 'Murchison said the amount of a involved in drawing up such figures 'Would increase the cost of operation, without actually contributing anything worthwhile. Replying to a question from Senator T.' A. Crerar (L--Manito- ba), he said that $34,947,000 was | paid out last year in unemploy- | ment insurance. "And that year was one of full | rar, "In a year when employment is at a high level, it strikes me . . . as singular that $34,947,000 is paid out in unemployment. insurance."

Mr. Kane puts it this way: "There is nothing to hang on to. You just sit up there on a hump, with a lick and a prayer." He was born in Pennsylvania. Now he runs a riding club and is one of the heads of an industrial machinery business. Mr. Kane went west at an early age to ride buffalo and all sorts of other ornery quadrupeds. The buf- falo was strictly a rodeo stunt. He and his three brothers pitched themselves into this rough-and- tumble profession soon after they sniffed Montana air. The Kane brothers bucked their way into the spotlight of rodeos by the dozen. All became world cham- pion riders several times. Walter Kane won the championship three times. But, he said, the titles were empty because every rodeo put a world title up in those days. "In those days we did nothing but follow rodeos. We made a cir- cuit from Fort Worth, Texas, through Calgary to Vancouver, down to Washington and into California, You had to be as hard as nails, I scaled about 185 pounds, and I didn't drink or smoke. We were trained to the peak, like any other athlete." In an active life which has car- ried him from Pennsylvania to the Caribou area in British Columbia, and to Winnipeg, Mr. Kane met and befriended many notables, among them Will Rogers and Jack London. "Old will was a pretty good roper; a wonderful man," he said, the hour. My brother, Jack worked with him for four years, training his polo ponies." Mr. Kane said the toughest horse he ever rode was Big Chief -- at the Calgary Stampede in 1915. "0-0-0-f! What a horse!" he re- called feelingly. He knows whereof he speaks. He had, his ribs kicked in, a knee bone dislocated and a wrist smashed, all in his rodeo- riding hey-dey. "I was lucky. It was a dangerous C.CF.
