¢ SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1948 PAGE FIVI Several Consuls Have Been Ousted From U.S. Posts Washington, Aug. 21-- (AP) -- Musty files of the United States State Department today show Ja- cob M. Lomakin is only one of several foreign Consuls who have been asked to get out of the United. States. There was the case in 1912, in- volving & Haitian Consul in New York who was reported to be charg- ing unauthorized fees for certifying invoices. The State Department repeatedly complained about this and when the Consul persisted in the practice his credentials were withdrawn and his own govern- ment relieved him of his duties. Shortly after the outbreak of the first world war a German citizen serving with the United States Ar- my deserted. A letter from a Ger- man Consul was found in the sol- dier's papers indicating the Consul had incited the soldier to desert. The United States demanded recall of the Consul. One of the most unusual cases occurred in 1921, The United States cancelled credentials of a Yugoslav Consul on the ground he had threatened to refuse passports and visas to persons patronizing steam- ship companies which advertised in a certain newspaper he evidently did not like. On the other side of the ledger there were instances in which American officials were accused of interfering in domestic political af- fairs of Latin American countries, of seeking to throw business to American shipping firms by unfair methods and doing other alleged deeds disapproved by the foreign countries in which they served. With Canada's Naturalists Written For The Canadian Press By PERCY GHENT Thoreau MacDonald, Canadian artist, friend of the late Tom Thom- son, and known to thousands of readers as the designer ~* = ractive © is also a natura... of note. One of his activities is a private press--The Woodchuck Press -- on which he has printed a series of brochures illustrated with his own sketches of Canadian birds and mammals about which he writes his own stories. booklets So far, most of these have been given away, he informed a friend, "as a minute contribution toward conservation." Those who receive them think the contribution is a substantial one. One of his stories tells of the im- mense value of foxes in the destruc- tion of field mice -- their favorite ciet--and the folly of fox hunts or the payment of bounty for the des- truction of the animals, He says there would be few fruit trees "ringed" and killed by mice, if foxes were unmolested; and that in Ili- '» that adorns many a bog, trunk or sunny marsh of Canada is the sundew. sided, curved racime; glands. When they first nois, where the fox is protected, such damage has been vastly reduc- ed, while game-birds in that state are flourishing as never before. An innocent-looking, tiny plant rotting Its white flowers grow in a one- its leaves in an open rosette are equipped with bristly hairs, reddish in hue .and tipped with microscopic purple appear, these leaves have as graceful a curve &s fern fronds. A pretty plant to see--but actual- ly it is a blood thirsty little villain with a trap constantly set to cap- ture its insect food. More precisely, always set while the sun shines and the insects are abroad, for the soli- tary blossom only opens in the sun. There is a sticky fluid on the hairy leaves, and when some hapless fly or gnat alights there, the feet of the insect are: immediately glued to it without a chance of escape, and the bristly hairs begin to close upon the prey from the sides and above. Then the leaf slowly rolls inward making a temporary stomach, and a fluid begins to ooze therefrom which chemical analysis shows to be akin to the gastric juices in animal stom- achs--and the insect is thoroughly digested to feed the plant, It is a reversal of the natural or- dez--plant eating animal instead of animal eating plant--which fascin- sted Darwin's scientific mind, He fed the sundew plant experimental- ly with an infinte varety of sub- stances, only to fnd that the sticky hairs soon rejected non-edible or apparently unpalatable morsels. He even gave the plants fatal attacks of indigestion when he overfed them with tiny bits of raw beef, Bri and bombing during the late war destroyed miles of the dikes essential for holding back salt water from the soil of Holland. This violence also killed off millions of earthworms in that country. Cana- dian breeders of earthworms are now shipping millions to replace the war casualties. Because the worms remove salt from impover- ished soil as no other agent can, they are urgently needed. U.LC. Amendment Retains Ceiling Ottawa, Aug. 21--(CP)--Amend- ments to the Unemployment In- surance Act, which will become effective Oct. 4, will not affect the wage ceiling for insurable em- ployees, Arthur MacNamara, De- puty Minister of Labor, said Fri- day.

Business Spotlight By The Canadian Press Stock markets bumped up and down throughout the week but clos- ed out on generally higher levels. Turnover continued very light despite sudden breaks that pulled prices into higher ground. Observ- ers have interpreted the present low volumes as a sign that the market has been sold out and a sudden break, Tuesday, appeared to justi- fy their reasoning that the uphill climb was on its way.

Hoagy Carmichael heads the supporting cast, with Leith Stevens writing the Con- certo in C Minor around which the picture centers.

Sylvan Simon Is ringing to the screen an institution familiar to millHons of housewives and ome which has inspired as many gags as Ford's Model T. Skelton, a breakaway comedian, is sald to have one of the choicest comedy plums of his career in the title role, He no longer envies Van Johnson and Robert Taylor being surrounded by all those lovely girls. For, in his latest vehicle, he plays opposite four, himself. As the house-to-house dealer, won- derful things are said to happen to d when he goes around knocking on strange doors. He gets involved in a murder, is messed up by hoodlums and mixed up with. four beauties. The quartet of lovelies includes Miss Blair, Red's despairing gir] friend; Miss Brooke, attractive society matron: Miss Jergens, one of Red's more alluring customers, and Miss Marshall, fiancee of Ford, one of the murder suspects. From all reports, the final chase sequence which is a virtual three-ring circus between Red, Janet and the vil- lains, is sald to be one of the most hilarious ever filmed. It takes place in a warehouse loaded with surplus war materials, with rockets zooming and rubber rafts inflating.

The big film arrives Monday, with Burt Lancaster and Liza- beth Scott heading a cast that includes Kirk Douglas, Wendell Corey, Kristine Miller, George Rigaud, Marc Lawrence and Mike Mazurki. "I Walk Alone", a melodrama set against the ultra-modern background of New York after dark, tells the story of a vicious double-cross and of the victim's relentless purusit of those who perpetrated it on him. Rugged Burt Lancaster is the man who walks alone in search of venge- ance. After fourteen years in prison, he returns to his former haunts to find his erstwhile friend and partner has eased him out of the organization which grew out of their old bootleg- ging racket. It is a strange, frustrat- ng world in which Lancaster finds, himself, a world in which his old strong-arm tactics are hamstrung by a maze of modern business methods. His life is further complicated by his falling for Lizabeth Scott, a nightclub singer who had unwittingly assisted in victimizing him. But, repentant and in love. she stands by him as he sets out to clear himself of a murder charge and bring his ex-partner to justice. Kirk Douglas, who $hade his screen debut in Wallis' 'Strange Love of Martha Ivers",plays the double-dealing night club owner, while Wendell Corey, first seen in "Desert Fury", is cast as Lancaster's murdered pal. Kristine Miller, Wallis' latest discovery, has the important role of a socially prominent playmate of Douglas. Byron Haskin directed "I Walk Alone" from a screenplay by Charles Schnee based on a stage hit.

"The Tender Years', an Alson Pro- duction, presents Brown as a small- town minister who is forced into a bitter battle to right a long-standing wrong. U.S. Business Men Told Be Careful On Russ Questions Washington, Aug. 21--(AP)--The United States Army said Friday it is warning business and industry tion coming from overseas, especial- to be wary of requests for informa- | ly from Russian-dominated areas. The warnings are being given to business men, officials of key in- dusiries, and civic organizations, such as Chambers of Commerce and trade organizations. Army information officers throughout the United States were told confidentially in June to keep in touch with those who might re- ceive requests for information. They were told to discuss with such per- sons the possible use by potential enemies of seemingly harmless in- formation about recent develop- ments. Many information requests have come from Germans in the Russian=- occupied zone, particularly ¢ the Leipzig sector, the army said.
