Police Grab Drugs Valued At $6,000, Three Are Held Toronto, May 328 (CP).--Police Thursday night announced seizure of heroin they said was valued at $6,000 and the arrest of three per- sons on charges of having narcotics illegally. Held were Louis (Red) Beaver, Mary Petras, 30, and Manny Bri- stone, 30. ; Investigators said they also seized chemist's scales and hundreds of empty drug capsules, Police said Louis Beaver was a brother of Max Beaver, now serving a four-year term in Kingston Peni- tentiary. The raid was the second in less than 12 hours for police who earlier charged Harry Brown, 26, and his wife, Rosalee, with illegal possession of narcotics. Police said that when they arrested the couple they seized two full drug capsules. N . Brothers Killed (Continued from Page 1) the car, but suffered severe shock requiring hospitalization. Mr, and Mrs. Addison remained in Oshawa last night and continued their jour- ney to Belleville today. Mr. Addison swerved to the left and applied his brakes in an un- successful effort to avoid the im- pact, The right front fender and grill of his vehicle struck the bi- cycle. The bicycle was completely wrecked, the frame twisted beyond repair, the front wheel hardly rec- ognizable as such with spokes anging in a snarled mass, like so threads, and the pedals dan- gling disjointedly from the arms. The police are holding the machine at the police station, George Drozduk, an employee of General Motors, was at work when the accident occurred and the boys had borrowed their dad's bicy- cle to go for the ice-cream and rhubarb. , The two boys attended South Simcoe Street Public School and were well liked in their neighbor- hood. "Ronnie was a fine boy, al- ways ready to do something for anyone on the street, a Cedar Street woman said. Ernest Bell and Bernard Lounds, who, rived on the scene minutes after the tragic occurrence, termed the 30-to-35-minute delay in the arrival of a doctor and the refusal of the authorities to permit the moving of the injured boy as "in- human and disgraceful." "The am- bulance driver told us he was a first-aid man but that he had no right to move the boy. I was a first-aid man overseas and know that the lad was submitted to one of the worst types of exposure lying on the cold. cement," Mr. Bell stated. At 10:30 last night Dr. J. A. Pat- terson stated that Eddie's condition was 'very grave" and that he was suffering from a fractured skull. The boy's father was at the hospi- tal but his mother, overcome with grief, remained at her Cedar Street home. It is thought that an inquest will be held but a date for the hearing has not been set, Edward Drozduk was ' born in Baskatchewan on February 3, 1937; while his brother, Ronald, was born In Manitoba on April 29, 1938. The family hag lived in Oshawa for the past eight years. Both boys attend- ed the Sunday School at the Free Methodist Church, Erie Street, and were pupils at South Simcoe Pub- lic School. Besides their parents they are survived by a sister, Shirley. The funeral service will be held in the Free Methodist Church at 3 p.m, tomorrow, followed by inter- ment in Mount Lawn Cemetery. The service will be conducted by Rev. L. E, Fletcher, pastor of the thurch, The caskets will rest at the thurch after 10 am. tomorrow. % in event of its rejection, House « Sale Immediate Possession 6 Room Brick, hard- wood floors, insulated, new furnace, built-in cupboards and mod- ern sink.

At Lake Success, Britain called | for a four weeks' armistice in the Holy Land during which no arms or fighting men would be permit- ted entry. In that period a last try would pe made to restore peace to Palestine, The British proposal calls for forceful United Nations measures The voice of Jerusalem, a Hagana station inside the Holy City, said had been thrown into the battle thousands of :oldiers on both sides for the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv high- way. The fighting raged over a four- mile stretch between Latrun, which is 21 miles southeast of Tel Aviv, and Bab El Wad, the embattled gorge through which the highway winds, the broadcast said. The Arabs claimed Thursday "that 800 Jews had been killed in the battle up to then. Jewish military headquarters in Tel Aviv said their planes bombed Arab artillery emplacements shel- ling the highway. The planes hit enemy concentrations at Ramallah, nine miles north of Jerusalem, the bulleti. added. : Arab sources in Cairo said the Egyptian Army, aided by units of the Trans-Jordan Arab Legion and irregulars, attacked Jerusalem it- self from the south Thursday morn- ing. Their attack was aimed at the Jewish fortress settlement of Tal- piyot, the residential suburbs of Mekor Haim, Upper Baqaa, Kata- mon and the German and Greek districts. An Israeli communique claimed the recapture. of Ramat Rehel, the much-fought-over settlement be- tween Bethlehem and Jerusalem, and said the Arabs had been driven out of Mar Elias monastry on the Bethlehem road. The bulletin said also that the Jews destroyed an Egyptian Army position at Beit Hanum, five miles northeast of Gaza -- a main posi- tion of the Egyptians coming up the coastal highway from the Egyptian-Palestine frontier. The Jews said 30 Egyptians were killed. Gaza itself was bombed, the com- munique said. Still other Jewish forces entered Majdal, nine miles north of Beit Iznun and 27 miles south of Tel| Aviv, and blew up stores and buil- dings, the Israeli bulletin said. Jewish sources in Haifa said Ha- gana forces have captured the Arab village of Zir'in, midway be- tween Nazareth and the key Arab city of Jenin. Informants said Hagana en- countered little resistance in the fight, winning of which strength- ens the Jewish flank south 'of Afula. Afula is the first all-Jewish town nerth of the Arab triangle of Oshawa and Vicinity Jenin-Tukarm-Naplus, used by Fawzi Bey Al Kaukji as a base for | the Arab Yarmuk Army, which is | made up mostly of volunteer sol- diers from the surrounding Arab | states. The British Consulate in Haifa warned all British subjects in the Holy Land that Britain cannot be responsible for their safety after | June 15. The Consulate estimated there now are about 200 civilian British subjects in Palestine.

By DOUGLAS HOW Saskatoon, May 28--(CP)-- Vet- erans of two world wars, after a realistic appraisal of the possibility of a third, have placed on record the steps they feel Canada should take to prepare for any eventuality. At its 12th biennial national con- vention, which ended Thursday the Legion: 1, Refused admission to NNRM.A, troops called up in the second world war and who served in an actual theatre of war, 2. Recommended that Canadian youth be given compulsory military training in reserve forces. 3. Asked the federal government to study legislation curb against Communists' subversive activities, "without unduly curbing our normal civil rgihts." > As had been expected, these re- commendations aroused the most spirited discussion of any of the measures: but before the conven- tion, opened May 24 by Field Mar- shal Viscount Alexander. The question of admitting Na- tional Resources Mobilization Act troops to Legion membership drew from Maj.-Gen. C. B. Price, imme- diate past president, the comment that it was "ungenerous" and '"'un- worthy" to deny it. National unity would be torn. Two delegates--one from Winni- peg, the other from Montreal--said conscripts should be allowed to join the Legion which accepted British veterans who were conscripts. In the angry debate ,W. J. Wil- liams of Edmonton said 500 volun- teers would leave his branch if conscripts. were allowed in. W. A. McKeen of Newcastle, N.B., asked "what they (N.R.M.A. troops) have got in tommon with us?" The convention asked the federal government to deport foreign-born Communists other than those on foreign government service, recom- mended that any Communist schools be closed and that lec- tures and institutions "glorifying" the ideology be forbidden. . In earlier proceedings the Legion: Approved a proposal for 3'§ per cent loans to better-off veterans and more wartime housing and ren- tal subsidies for low-income veter- ans.

Doctors held hope only for the recovery of Rose. Hartley Forbes, who was operat- ing the street car, said "when I got on the intersection I looked to the right and saw the car approaching fast along Longwood Road. They had clear vision of the light, which was red to them, and the street car, Jor several hundred feet." 'The impact was so great, he gaid, that the front of the street car was lifted upwards, the front trucks were pushed off the rails and the car travelled in an arc towards the south curb before coming to a stop. Constables Robert Collings and James Campbell said it took them a considerable time to extricate the dead woman and three other pas- sengers from the rear seat. Two Autos Damaged N ear Albany Street Two cars were damaged consid- erably at 8:45 p.m. last night when Alan Cobb of Chatham, driving north on Simcoe Street South, swerved to the right to avoid south- bound trafic and collided with a car parked near the corner of Al- bany Street. Police said owner of the parked auto was Arthur Cole, 422 Simcoe Street South. Estimated damage to the Cobb vehicle was $150 and included a smashed right headlight, dented right front fender and rear fender and collapsed grille, The left rear fender of Cole's car, the tail light and rear part of the body and trunk were damaged to an esti- mated $75.

They are decided in a separate election. That would give a Nationalist- Afrikaner coalition 78 seats, to 74 for the United Party, the Labor Party and the natives. (Reuters News Agency total of 1,067,249 persons voted. Of these, 524,230 voted for the United Party, 401,834 for the Nationalists, 41,885 for the Afrikaner Party, 27,- 360 for the Labor Party and 71,940 for others.) Announcement of the defeat of Smuts by 224 votes in his own dis- trict came with startling sudden- ness Thursday night and was fol- lowed swiftly by a swelling of the anti-government trend in other dis- tricts. Smuts, 78, has been Prime Minister since 1939 and also served in that post from 1919 to 1924. Dr. Malan is a 74-year-old for- mer clergyman of the Dutch Re- formed Church. The Nationalist press described the developments as a revolution. In the early returns, the United Party had things all its own way, but when results began pouring in from the strongly Nationalist rural regions the trend swiftly was re- versed. The Prime Minister's own defeat in Standerton, the constituency he had represented for 24 years, came at the hands of C. Du Plesses, who once was secretary to Smuts' long- time foe, the late J. B. M, Hertzog, with whom Smuts vied for years for political dominance in South Af- rica, (In London, the conservative Gra- phic commented that the action of the Standerton voters "will stand in history as ofie of the classic ex- amples of the fickleness and in- gratitude of democracy".) Dr. Malan's party traditionally has stood for separation from Great Britain, in contrast to Smuts' advocacy of closer ties with Brit- ain, The Nationalists sought to have'South Africa declared neutral at the start of the last war and after hostilities began they agitat- ed several times for a separate peace. Malan, who won his parliamen- tary seat by 3,673 votes, campaigned on a platform which called for abolition of the communal repre- sentation now granted to South Africas 9,000,000 non-Europeans in legislative bodies and for the return of native Africans to segregated districts. Smuts has advocated a long-term "program for emancipa- tion of African natives.
