WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1948 ---- THE DAILY TI . - 0 MES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE ' JU.S. Closes A-Bomb Plants To Unions T inged Candidates Give Idea On How To Run Government By D'Arcy O'Donnell Canadian Press Staff Writer Oftawa, Sept. 29 (CP)--Candidates for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party met the press Tuesday and dealt with matters ranging from the Berlin airlift to the contentious freight-rate issue. & Premier Drew of Ontario was met ad W. G. Rapley Playing Part, of Nanki-Poo Recently returned from a long summer holiday in England, where he was fortunate enough to obtain seats for the D'Oyly Carte produc- tion of The Mikado, W. George Rapley asserts that the flippant light opera has lost none of its W. GEORGE RAPLEY appeal, and that the wit and satire is still as pointed to this post-war generation as it was at the turn of the century. A short season of Gilbert and Sullivan ilght opera was held -this summer at the Sadler's Wells Thea- tre, London, and one of the first things Mr. and Mrs. Rapley did on their arrival in the city was to try to get tickets. By booking a month ahead they obtained the last seats in the house for The Mikado which has not been seen in England since: before the war. They were particularly pleased knowing that Mr. Rapley would be returning in September to take the part of Nanki Poo in the local pro duction of The Mikado, a part which he had previously studied in London. In fact, Mr. Rapley is no stranger to the Gilbert and Sullivan roles, having played Frederick in The Pirates of Penzance; Lord Tol- leler in Iolanthe; Marco in The Gondoliers, Fairfax in The Yeoman of the Guard, and the Defendant in Trial by Jury. Owner of a well- trained tenor voice, Mr. Rapley studied singing in London where he was born, and it was his musical ability that brought him to Canada. He came to Oshawa from Hamil- ton about 13 years ago, and besides being on the staff of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute is organist and choirmaster of Christ Memorial Anglican Church. His fine diction and careful enunciation have kept him in de- mand for local productions and he is remembered as the narrator in "The Dream of Empire" and as the Post-Warden in "Advance Britan- nia", both seen in the O.C.V.I. audi- torium. A one-act play, "A Table Set for wo", brought him much favorablz comme 't, al his jinter- pretation of the part of -Poo promises to be equally praiseworthy. Wild Cow Kills Elderly Farmer Mount Brydges, Ont., Sept. 20-- (CP)--Thrown against a cement wall by a wild cow, George D. Hed- ley, 65, farmer and wholesale but- cher was killed Tuesday on his farm near here. Hedley assisted by his son Allen and Harold Kellestine of Delaware, were butchering at the slaughter house when one beast went wild, Brothers Guilty In Tax Evasion Regina, Sept. 20--(CP)--Two Re- gina brothers Tiesday pleaded guil- ty to 24 charges of evading income and excess profits taxes in what is believed the largest tax evasion case to appear before a Canadian court. Nick .... George Kangles, proprie- tors of the La Salle Hotel, Limited, were charged with evasions amount- ing to more than $243,000. Judg- ment was reserved until next Thurs- day. 28 PER CENT .

He was friendly, but non-commiital on the likely outcome of the party's national convention here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Jéhn Diefenbaker, member of the Commons for Lake Centre in Saskatchewan and regarded by rony as Mr. Drew's most serious opponent, held a press conference in the Parliamentary Press Gallery. Most of the questions were pre- ceded with the qualification -- 'If you were Prime Minister what would you do..." Donald Fleming, 43-year-old member of the Commons for Tor- onto Eglinton, met reporters in- formally at a cocktail party ten. dered on his behalf by supporters from Quebec. Mr. Fleming, who does not drink or smoke, twirled a glass of ginger ale in his hand as he answered questions. Garfield Case, 49-year-old mem- ber of the Commons for Grey North in Ontario, chatted - with newspaper -men in his hotel lobby and in his foom. He confessed that his defeat at. the convention was being freely predicted, but he felt he could still win with the support of the "little man, whom I repre- sent." Mr. Drew declined to say what the outcome of the leadership voting will be on Saturday when the 1,311 delegates choose a suc- cessor to John Bracken, 65, who is retiring because of his age and ill-health. ; Mr. Diefenbaker's 45-minute press conference ranged over a wide variety of topics. He said that the External Affairs Department has not kept. Canadians informed on just what the country's internat- ional commitments are, He intimated he felt that. Can- adian participation in the suppiying of Western Berlin would show that the dominion is ready to back up her action with words. On freight rates, he said that something must be done to wipe out the inequalities in the' freight rate structure. He felt that govern- ment subsidies probably would provide the answer, although there might be some other solution. He said that as Prime Minister he would immediately call a new Dominion-Provincial conference to iron out taxation rights so that social security measures could be provided on an equal basis across the country. ' Mr. Diefenbaker said that he did not want to see a "Balkanized Canada." He wanted to see a Uni- ted Canada and he believed that unity could be achieved despite the variety of political stripes in pro- vincial legislatures. "I forsee a Canada where every- one will be a Canadian with equal opportunities without regard for race or religion," he said. Mr. Fleming said he would oppose the outlawing of the Communist party. "If you outlaw the Labor Pro- gressive Party today, it will simply change its name and come up with a new title tomorrow," he said. "I think the law can be so framed as to deal with subversive elemen:s." Girl Companion Of Fred Aldred May Take Stand Toronto, Sept. 20--(CP) -- May Hill, 17, is expected to testify in defence of her 21-year-old sweet. heart, Fred Aldred, now on trial for murder in the Aug. 1 shooting of storekeeper William Cowan, 57. Mrs. Mae Cowan, Cowan's wid- ow, told Tuesday how she joined two of her daughters in trying to prevent the escape of a youth, alleged to be Aldred, who broke into their store at Malvern in the Oshawa area. Asked if she could identify the intruder, Mrs. Cowan nodded to- ward Aldred in the prisoner's box. "He dashed into the storehouse and I followed him," she said, "I switched on the (storehouse) lights as I entered. I followed him down the last aisle. As Aldred ran down, I caught up with him and kept him from reaching the door. "At fhis point he said to me, get out of the way sister, or I'll shoot.' I didn't move. He glared at me then and raised his hand and hit me over the head with, some- thing very hard." "Did you see anything in his hand?" asked Crown. Counsel M. O. Gibson. 'No, I didn't notice," she replied. "Then he dashed to the left side of the storehouse, found no open- ing, ran back and out inio the store again. He unbolted the front door and ran down the road." Mrs. Cowan wept as she identi- fied as her husband's the .32-calibre revolver which killed Cowan, Two daughters of the slain man, Ruth and Eleanor, gave similar testimony. Under questioning, nei. ther said they saw Cowan's revoiver in the hands of Aldred. Aspirant For P.C.

They said there was a shortage of Canadian-made denim, imports from the United States were re- stricted by government controls and British-made material was avail- able, Ernest Near, General Manager of Larned Carter Co. Ltd., of Toron- to, was one of the witnesses who said his firm had begun to purchase denim for overalls in Britain. He added quickly: "It's too expensive for the Can- adian market." He said comparable cloth, neither pre-shrunk, would cost 35% cents in Canada and 48% cents in Brit- ain. In overalls produced from the British cloth he would have to compete with his own lines of Can- adian material, with the result that he would have to absorb a "squeeze." Howard Daniels, General Man- ager of the Kitchell Overall and Shirt Co. of Brantford, gave similar testimony. He said his company was buying pre-shrunk denim from Britain which cost 50 to 51 cents a yard laid down. Comparable Can- adian cloth cost him 43% cents. He also said his firm would have to absorb the "squeeze." "Not too tight a squeeze," Chalr- man C. A, Curtis commented. "Well, maybe not," Mr. Daniels replied. John Morawetz, General Manager of Hamilton Carhartt Manufactur- ing Ltd. of Toronto, another pro- ducer of work clothes, said his firm found the "very high British price" too great a barrier to make pur- chases in the United Kingdom. | lighted with tall tapers in the Expansion Plan 'tish churches; $148,928 for the aid 4John G.

United Churchmen To Survey Work, By ROBERT PHILLIPS Vancouver, Sept. 29--(CP)~--The 13th general council today will sur- vey the whole field of the United Church's undertakings and will con- sider a report proposing expansion. Dr. Sidney Smith of Toronto, President of the University of To- ronto, headed an across-Canada committee which will bring down recommendations urging the United Church to: 1. Secure and train an adequate supply of recruits for full-time service to the church. 2. Accept, responsibility for reli- gious training in its secondary schools and colleges. 3. Grant definite and adequate aid to its student ministers. 4. Review its whole theological training school program and at- tempt to economize in their opera- tion while continuing to produce the largest number of adequately- trained ministers. 5. Set an objective of $3,000,000 for the funds from which its church and missionary activities are main- tained. 6. Establish a full-time public re- lations department. F. 'R. Murgatroyd, a Hamilton layman, told the council the opera- tion of eight theological colleges across Canada, five of which now only serve 155 students in all their faculties, was "unnecessary and wasteful." i He said the church demands of its individual clergymen that they be "a good man in the pulpit, a family consultant, a business man, and a psychologist--Grade A in all respects." During a report on overseas re- lief Rev. J. R. Mutchmor of Toron- to told the council Tuesday night that "Canada leads all nations in her per capita aid to the worlds needy." Summing up the United Church's contributions he said the following efforts have been completed since, war's end: $56,924 for bombed Bri- to European churches fund; $213,- 384 for relief to China and India; $40,320 for aid to distressed foreign mission fields and $15,000 for 'the pastors and peoples of Europe. Rev. Frank Fidler of Ottawa was appointed to the full-time as- sociate secretaryship of the United Church's Board of Christian Edu- cation, and will commence in the new department Jan. 1, 1949.

"They asked me if I could show them where they could get a load of cattle. There was to be $200 in it for me." Medicine Hat, Alta.--(CP)--Con- ductor W. E.

It has been discovered that Plas- matic therapy is highly successful in the treatment of all types of ar- thritis, high blood pressure, all types of paralysis, including Park- insonian disease, multiple scelerosis, Buerger's and Reynaud's disease, and diabetes, to mention only a few of the most common conditions, Plasmatic-therapy is a compara- tively new method of tpeatment, and is being used more and more exten- sively by medical doctors and chiro- practic doctors in the United States.

Girls' Garden Achievement Day Success On Saturday, September 25, twenty girls of the Ontario South Girls' Garden Clubs attended the annual Achievement Day in Ux- bridge. The enthusiastic gardeners belonged to clubs from Brooklin, Sandford and Uxbridge. Leaders' badges were . presented to Mrs. Harry McCool, Brooklin, Miss Ruth Risebrough, R.R. No. 1, Uxbridge, and Mrs. Robert Clark, Uxbridge, by Mrs. A. W. Conn, Home Econ- omist for Ontario County. Each girl arranged an attractive exhibit of- vegetables and flowers from her garden.

Ontario Near Deadline For Hydro Cutoff Toronto, Sept. 29--(CP)--With time running out, Ontario struggled today to cut power consumption. It had a lot of cutting to do to get within the quotas the provin- sion said must be met by the end of the week. The commission said it would shut off supplies periodically to municipalities which exceeded their quota. Commission Chairman Robert H. Saunders told the province in a radio broadcast Tuesday night huge amounts of electrical current were wasted by careless use of lights and domestic appliances. The shortage--the second in two ars--arose from increased con- sumption, caused mainly by new in- dustries and hot dry summer which lowered water levels in streams "|serving hydro projects. Although London and Toronto got within their quotas this week, most Ontario cities still were con- suming more than their allowances and were seeking new ways of sav- ing power. Rural Western Ontario will be pa- trolled by 100 "vigilantes" to check consumption and persuade farmers to do more work: at nights or on week-ends. Some London street lights will be turned off. Each industry in Brampton agreed to cut consumption one hour daily and two of them will shut down Monday instead of Saturday. in Kitchener and Galt into three groups'an operations to reduce power loads. Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in- stalled its own generating plant. He said that if every consumer in the province used a light bulb 10 minutes more than necessary, 95,000,000 gallons of water would be wasted. In a letter td 200,000 Toronto consumers, Mayor Hiram McCallum said 644 gallons would -be wasted if a 600-watt water heater were left on 10 minutes more than necessary. William Edmiston, Canadian Di- rector of the International Chemi- cal Workers Union (AFL), said Tuesday 200 employees: of the Nor- ton Abrasive Plant at Niagara Falls, Ont, may be laid off because of the power shortage. The plant is one of the biggest in the world. Mr. Edmiston said 50 workers have already been laid off and that the company had indicated 1,150 more would have to stop work. The plant's abrasives-production vprocess includes 24-hour blast furn- ace operations, cial Hydro-Electric Power Commis- |' Mr. Saunders said that industries had split | will stagger ! 4 Except at Oak Ridge, union acti- vity in all atomic plants has been sharply curtailed since the A-bomb" project was launched. Today's new policy decision ruled out any (hope of those unions whose officers have failed to submit non- Communist oaths. These are requir. ed by the Taft-Hartley Labor Act for N.L.R.B, certification: The C.I.0. unions singled out in the commission announcement are the United Electrical Workers and the United Public Workers. A congressional committee heard testimony only Tuesday from a self- dsecribed former Communist that the U. E. is "tthe largest Communist< dcminated organization in the Une ited States." The public workers union, with a large membership = of government employees, also has been under scru= tiny in congress. The commission's move to erect new safeguards against possible leaks of atomic secrets was only one in a series of tumbling develop- ments bearing on the jssue of reds- in.government. Among them: 1. Disclosure by William R. Rems= ington that (xe has appealed a er= gional loyalty board's ruling of "rea= sonagle grounds to believe" he was disloyal. Remington is the suspended $10,« 000-a-year commerce department of« ficial named by Elizabeth T, Bent. ley as a source of the wartime se- crets she told of collecting while serving as a spy-ring messenger. 2. A campaign-speech charge by President Truman that "the Repub- licans have impeded and made more difficult out efforts to cope with communism in this country." Speaking at Oklahoma City, Tru= man contended the Republicans have tried to "usurp" the functions of federal grand juries and the courts, 3. A retort from Senator Homer Ferguson (Rep. Mich.) that Mr. True man's remarks were "utterly ridicu- lous." Ferguson said the Republicans have been leading the fight against Communism. 4, Word from the Justice Depart. ment that it has taken "under ade visement" a request for an investi- gation of the way representative J.

Supple- mentary feeding of cattle was necessary in many areas and fall wheat made slow progress. A drop in milk flow was reported in several areas -- including Leeds County as result of the dry weather. The drought has made it impossible to -plant fall, wheat in some districts.
