\ PAGE TWO THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1948 Starving Boy Tells Story Of Brutality Torontn, Oct. 21--(CP) -- Police said today that an emaciated half- starved boy, found Wednesday night' scratching at the door of a west end home, begging for food, told them he had been kept in a clothes closet and fed on bread and water for a year in a suburban Mount Dennis home. The boy identified himself as Gor- don Kelly, 14, and said te had been kept prisoner by an elderly aunt and uncle in Mount Dennis. He said as far as he could recall his parents had died about four years ago. He could not recall his relatives' ad- dress, "I was locked in a clothes closet most of the day," he told Judge D. Webster of York County Family Court. "I was given foed only twice a day--bread and water. At night I slept on a couch but I couldn't see out because the blinds were pulled down tight." He said he was forced to do heavy household work each day and "al- most every day" he was beaten by his aunt and uncle, His back was bruised and scratched. He said that for some reason his aunt and uncle had allowed him out on the back porch Wednesday and he had run away. He went to Etobicoke Creek with a piece of string and a fishing hook, improvis- ed from a pin, In the hope of catch- ing a fish to eat. He was unable to catch anything for lack of bait. He said he removed all his clothes except his trousers to bathe and then wandered downstream and be- came lost. He could not find his clothes again, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Davies who live on the Western outskirts of the city near Etobicoke Creek, said they were preparing to go out last night when they heard a scratching at the door and found the boy. They gave him a good meal and watched him gulp it down. He refused to ex- plain what had happened to him and the Davies called police. Mrs. James Marlowe, also of sub- urban Mount Dennis, whose blond son Richard disappeared at the age of nine in 1944 was asked if she could identify Gordon. She said the lad was so emaciated and unkempt that she could not be sure that it was not her son. "The boy has been removed to To- ronto psychiatric hospital for ex- amination, As he recounted his tale to police ' it became more and more incredible but investigating officers said they were impressed with the boy's sin- cerity. He said he could not read and could write only a little. He had never been to school. Hitler's Orders To Nazi Generals Cause Of Defeat By GEORGE TUCKER New York--(AP)--The cause of Germany's military defeat was a rigidity of defence imposed by Ad- olf Hitler, his own generals claim. Because of orders that every man stand and fight where he is, whole armies in Africa, Russia, and Nor- mandy were nalied to their positions until they were hammered to bits. German generals who survved the war say there were times on all fronts when commanders begged for permission to take timely steps back to concentrate on holding strategic points. X But Hitler ordered his generals to fight for every yard, threatening court-martial and worse for any who demurred. "This principle," says Gen. Hein- rici, who commanded the army group that faced the Russians' final push to Berlin, "was so hammered into the army it was a common say- ing that 'battalion commanders were afraid to move a sentry from the «window to the door'. Time after time, forces stayed in impossible positions until they were surrounded and captured." These statements are a synthesis of opinions expressed to B. H. Lid- dell Hart, British military writer, by more than 20 ranking generals of the third Reich. Published in England under the LJ title "The Other Side of The Hill", | ,they have been brought out in the United States by William Morrow and Co. as "The German Generals Talk." There are 19 specific instances, reported by these generals, where vast numbers of troops were frittered away because of Hitler's pathological aversion to yielding ground, even temporarily. Haphazard Thrust Gen. Von Thoma, a famous tank commander captured at the battle of El Alamein, says Romel's threat to Egypt developed only haphazard- ly. After the unexpected collapse of the British 8th Army at Tobruk, he could not resist the temptation to push on into Egypt, extending his supply lines beyond their capacity, But his success had caused such a sensation he could not draw back. Hitler would not let him. The result was he had to stay there until the British had gathered overwhelming forces to smash him," Von Thoma said. In Russia and Normandy it was the same. It may surprise many that Stalingrad was not a main objective in the German drive to the Cau- casus. They wanted the more im- portant prize of oll. When the drive for Stalingrad be- came a stalemate, Hitler's com- manders without exception urged withdrawals to a safe winter line. "But Hitler would not budge," Gen. Blumentritt told Liddel Hart, "The result was that when the Russians launched their winter coun- ter-offensive, his army at Stalingrad (commanded by Gen. Paulus) was cut off and forced to surrender." The paralysis that gripped Nor- mandy after the allied landings was *, another instance of non-flexibility 'In command. The Gerinans held Caen and St. Lo, but it was obvious tn Gen.

Von Rundstedt begged his master | to come to France for a talk, and went to meet him in Soissons, where he tried to make Hitler un- derstand the situation. After this meeting, Von Runstedt was relieved of command and sup- planted by Field Marshal Von Kluge, then recovering from a head injury received In Russia. Then the German front in the west collapsed. i Of the great losses before Mos- cow, Von Rundstedt said caustical- ly: "It was Hitler's decision for ri- @id resistance that caused the dan- ger in the first place. It would not have arisen if he had permitted a timely withdrawal." Police Report Seized Guns Not O.P.P.'s Toronto, Oct. 21--(CP)--Toronto police had a mystery on their hands today following discovery of a small arsenal of weapons in a northside rooming house. They charged seven persons with having offensive weapons. But their swoop Wednesday with drawn guns left unanswered the question of the purpose for which the five revolvers, a rifle and a quantity of ammuni- tion were intended. Arrested were Norman Sullivan, 27, and his wife, Helen, 27, Ronald and Marjorie Magee; Garth (Dus- ty) Miller, 46; Peter Brown, Alias Horne, of Hamilton; and Viola Phil- ipson, 28. All except Brown were from Toronto, ] Ontario Provincial Police said they were interested in three of the men. One of the seized weapons was a defending police-type revolver. At first, police believed they had uncovered one of the revolvers stolen recenlly [ica Wish To Build Solid Ground For Freedom Quebec, Oct, 21--(CP)-- Finance Minister Abbott said today that the Federal government, in concluding taxation agreements with the prov- inces, was seeking to strengthen ra. ther than lessen provincial auto- nomy, "No one more than myself desires thé preservation of the fundamental principles on which our Dominion is based," said Mr, Abbott in a speech prepared for delivery at a meeting of Quebec insurance agents. He spoke in French. "No one more than mysel{ or my cabinet colleagues is more awere of the number of tasks that best can be accomplished at the provincial level," he said. He and his colleagues were aware that the "very existence of a sane democracy in this country depends on the existence of strong and virile local and provincial governments." "But real autonomy and true free- dom of action only come with fi nancial solidarity and financial sta- bility, Our aim has been to increase the provinces financial strength--- only foundation for independent and autonomous government. "All our efforts in the taxation field tended to remove obstacles to 'economic development while assur- ing Provincial governments stable revenues regardless of the economic situation." Mr. Abbott recalled .that all prov- inces except Ontario and Quebec have signed taxation - agreements with the Dominion since 1946. The seven provinces which signe: plan for the duration of the five- year agreements with the knowledge that revenues from major tax sour- ces would not fall below the mini- mum figures set by the Dominion, "All that was accomplished with- out any modification in the funda- mental constitutional position of any of the contracting parties," he said. "No province gave slightest morsel of its constitutional rights." French Case To Be Heard At Meeting Ottawa, Oct. 21--(CP)--France's Previous close on hogs: grade A | side of the complex story of the lifted martial law in all of the re- | four alleged Vichy collaborators will be given to the people of Que- bec Province today by the French Ambassador, Francisque Gay. He will make. France's case known through a press conference to be held at 4 pm. in Montreal's Windsor Hotel. The four men, all of whom have | been granted asylum in Canada despite charges of collaboration with the wartime government of Vichy France, are living in Quebec province, Political sources here regarded as "unusual" the ambassador's action in travelling outside of the capital to hold a press conference on a subject of interest to both govern- ments. He is expected to deal largely with the records of the four French- men and their conviction in ab- sentia by French courts on charges of collaborating with the Vichy government, The ambassador's intention was disclosed Tuesday following a talk with acting Prime Minister Howe in the Prime Minister's office. Both he and Mrs. Howe issued state- ments. . Mr, Gay said in his statement that he had 'stressed that their concern for their honor should prempt these Frenchmen to go and | appear before the courts of their country, where every opportunity of themselves would be given to them." He described the men as "French persons accused of collaboration with the enemy and now in Canada as refugees." They had been tried by French courts "according to legal procedures and found guilty of major crimes." The four are Dr. Georges Montel, 49, a surgeon now lecturing at Laval University in Quebec; Julien Labe- dan, 35-year-old interior decorator and cabinet maker living in Mont- real; Andrew Boussat, 45, a sur- geon working for a drug firm, and Jean Luis Huc. Whitby. But a check showed the ser- fal number of the weapon did not correspond with that of any of the Whitby revolvers and it was learned later that the revolver was stolen more than a year ago from the home of an out-of-town police in- spector, - : Investigation continued today in- to the recent activities of the ar- rested persons, Police said Sullivan was already on $20,000 bail in connection with the recent robbery of a bank at Ridgeway, They said two other men would be put in a lineup today in connection with the same holdup.

The auto producers bought ingot and semi-finished steel and had it made into sheets and strip. By this means, the publication said, they obtained extra steel not only to increase car assemblies but also to make an additional 300,000 tons of spare parts. Without this conversion, it added, "autos for the public would be tighter than they are now and re- pairs and replacements in many cases would be impossible." "Conversion deals should not be confused with grey market deals," | slabs are bought in the open market by auto officials. Through co-opera- tion with regular or other steel mill sources, they are processed into finished steel that auto men can use." 'The process is made possible by the fact that some steel firms have more finishing capacity than steel- making capacity. The Iron Age estimated that close to 2,500,000 tons of ingots have been channelled into conversion deals this year. The oil and gas industry was said to have account- ed for 500,000 tons. > Although the steel ingot rate at 99 per cent of capacity this week approached an all-time tonnage high, the trade weekly said that steel demand remained "so strong that no one sees any weakening in said the Iron Age. "The ingots or the steel market yet." | | BREAKFAST FLIGHT Members of the Ontario County | Flying Club are staging a break- fast flight to the Toronto Island | airport this week-end. | APPLES BY AIR | A customer in Ottawa received | prompt 'attention from Red Wing Orchards at Whitby this week.

Cycle Seat No For Three Persons After viewing Henry Demareski's motorcycle this morning Magistrate Frank Ebbs decided that it was never designed to carry three per- sons. Accordingly he convicted Demareski,. who lives on R.R. 2, was carrying at the time of the accident, Doris Drummond and Betty Irwin, both of Fairleigh Ave- nue, East Whitby, to mount the machine. All three scrambled aboard; Magistrate Ebbs took one | 100k and sald, "That's enough for me." y Summing up the case Crown At- torney Hall contended that the very fact alone that there were three persons riding' the motorcycle was in itself carelessness in driving. The operation of a motorcycle, he maintained, was a matter of con- trol and balance Both faculties were destroyed by the addition of two passengers. To begin with, said Magistrate Ebbs, 'a. motorcycle is a dangerous machine. Any person driving such a machine who took it upon him- self to overload it was making him« self liable, The seat, he thought, was obviously designed to hold one person and only one. Demareski, it appeared, had been convicted twice before, once in 1944 for leaving the scene of an accident and again in April of this year on a charge of careless driving.
