Decision to hold this afternoon's | STRAIGHT Quotas Unworkable The motion came after a lengthy discussion during which represent- atives of some companies stated that their firms could not possibly operate under the present quotas al- | lotted to them and thet undcubt- edly some plants would - have to shut down this afternofh. Acting Mayor R. D. Humphreys, in the absence of Mayor Frank N. McCallum, called last night's meet- | ing of the Power Co-ordinating Committee which represents indus- tries, labor and commercial hydro users. "The main purpose of this mee'- ing is to see if something cannot be worked out to solve this drastic | situation," Ald. Humphreys said. "It can only be solved by manage- | ment and labor working out some scheme which would be mutually satisfactory. Such a scheme would be for the good of both manage- ment and labor." Public Utilities Manager George F. Shreve declared that he could not tell what would happen 'in the future but predicted that the "situation would worsen before spring. =~ "At a meeting a week ago Sunday a motion ' was passed which urged industry to take a cut for one hour a day," he said.

OPPOSED 0 TIME PLAN | The joint conference of manage- | ment and labor representatives, | meeting at the Union Hall to seek a solution of the power crisis in Oshawa, was still in session when The Times-Gazette went to press at 2:30 this afternoon.

Four gangs of laborers wearing | i rubber shoes went aboard the Ppr- | tuguese ship at 8 a.m, and started to move the 6,000-ton cargo into the Canadian ship tied up along- side. The fertilizer in 100-pound paper bags, previously described as po- tassium nitrate, was said today by harbor officials to be ammonium nitrate. It was stories of explosion of a similar cargo at Texas City in 1946 that brought complaints against the presence of the ship from peo- ple of Cap Blanc to Their parish priest Maurice Tessier. The publicity annoyed harbor au- thorities who had ordered full pre- cautions. Firemen and police are on hand, fire hoses are ready and night work on the cargo transfer has been ruled out because it would mean use of electric wiring and lights. ' The Digby County which arrived Monday from Sydney, N.S. will carry the fertilizer to its South African destination. Uranium Find Starts Trek Into Bushland Sault Ste.

Campbell, reported to be following reports of early explorers in the area, discovered the veins along the south side of a gully. The district was said to be handy to highway, drowned in the icy waters of nor- thern rivers at the end of Ontario's first week of open hunting season, | Provincial Police' said here today. ! Five hunters are missing and be- lieved drowned, the bodies of two | have been recovered and one man is definitely known to have been drowned although his body has not | been recovered. 4 Accidental shootings, which in past years have claimed most hunt- ing victims were the cause of no deaths. All of the accidents were the result of rough water which swamped outboard motorboats, po- lice said. : Police and woodsmen are drag- ging for the bodies of Melvin Mor- rison, 33, of Thornhill, and Robert Clapham, 25, of Toronto, believed to have drowned in the French River when their boat struck a floating log in rough water. Two hunting caps, identified as those of the hunters, were found. The body of Rev. Carl Serson, 51, from Statesboro, Ga. was found yesterday tangled in the tow rope of a boat floating on Pelican Lake, near Siouk Lookout. Three others, missing with Mr. Serson since Friday when they started out on a deer-hunting trip, are still being sought. They are Peter Serson, 59,\ the minister's brother; Fred Besley, 27, of States- boro, Ga., and William Evans, Can- adian National Railways employee of Lookout, Ont. The waters of Bear Lake, 40 miles east of Orillia, are being dragged for the body of William Chisholm, 58, of Sadowa, Ont,. who was drowned when a panic-stricken dog climbed onto his back after his boat overturned. Three other hunt- ers escaped to shore. The body of 23-year-old Gordon Ryder, of Norwich, was recovered Monday night in Cranberry Lake, near Parry Sound, by his compan- ions. His boat was overturned by high winds during the week-end as he returned to a hunting camp. Tropical Storm Sweeps Atlantic Miami, Fla, Nov. 9 (AP) --A tro- pical storm with winds approaching 60 miles an hour developed over- night in the Atlantic about 400 miles northeast of Nassau, The apparent centre of the un- nsual November disturbance is some 600 miles away from Key West.

After being convicted yesterday, | in Oshawa police court, on a charge {of driving while his licence was suspended he went out last night and committed the same offence. He was convicted for the second time in police court today in Whitby. Following his conviction yester- day and imposition of a fine of $100 and costs, Chomisky's car was ordered impounded for three months. In addition a bond of $500 was posted that he wofild not drive again for that period. Apparently the convicted man was supposed to take his car to Whitby to be stored during the three month period. He went instead to the liquor store and then began a grand tour which included Lind- say. | would be fool enough to deliberate- ly defy a court order. He -was {brought in and lodged in the cells land appeared today before Magis- trate Ebbs. Chomisky pleaded guil- ty to the charge and will hear sen- | tence pronounced late this week at | police court here. In addition to the charge of driv- ing while under suspension Chom- | isky yesterday was convicted on a speeding count for which he was ordered to pay a fine of $25 and costs. Magistrate Ebbs yesterday des- |cribed the first offense as "flag- rant." He pointed out that when he was picked up Chomisky was driving under another name. It is fairly safe to assume that His Worship will hardly be inclined to take a lenient view of the second similar offense on the same day. Bus Driver R ring Toronto, Nov. 9--(CP) -- Frank Rowe, driver of a Hamilton bus. in- volved in Saturday's bus-tram col- lision in which six persons were killed is in slightly improved condi- tion today and ' hospital officials said they expected he would live. Charles Munro, also of Hamil- ton, reported earlier in critical con- dition has also improved. Seven other crash victims whose condi- tion was déscribed earlier as serious have shown marked improvement and now are out of danger. All the dead and most of the 50 injured had spent the evening in Toronto's west-end Sunnyside am- usement area and were returning to Hamilton in a chartered bus from an Argyll and Sutherland High- landers' reunion party at Club Top Hat. Police said the bus swerved into the path of the steel-built street car, .

J. Fleming farm north-east of | | Oshawa, was convicted police | | court in Whitby this morning of the | theft of a number of ducks. He will | be sentenced this afternoon when {court is resumed in the county town. The charge was a sequel to a so- | called Hallowe'en prank which was | supposed to have ended in a shoot- | ing affray during 'which the place | was said to have been besieged by |six men with small-bore rifles. As a result of the false reports of the affair given police a hired man Clarence Smith, and Cecil Wina- | cott, brother-in-law of Marnien, were convicted on charges of creat- | ing a mischief. They were remand- {ed for sentence. J. J. Fleming, owner of the farm, alleged today that 86 ducks were missing from the farm. Mrs. Eileen Larsen, 86 Montrave Avenue, Osh- awa, said that she had received two aucks from Marnien for which he had asked no payment. A similar charge of theft against Marnien's wife, Bernice, was dis- missed for lack of evidence. | in 'Woman Saves 'Home, Tears Curtains Up At the cost of burns on her hands and arms, Mrs. A. C. Hartshorn, 564 Grierson Avenue, ripped down flam- ing curtains in her home yesterday afternoon and so narrowly averted a serious fire. Mrs. Hartshorn, who is the wife of the Managér of the Regent Theatre, was speaking on the tele- phone when she noticed that the curtains over the windows in her kitchen were ablaze. She dashed out and ripped them down with: her bare hands. Fire was belieyed to be caused by a burning cigarette. Firemen, who arrived on the scene, treated Mrs. Hartshorn for burns on her left hand and right | arm. She later received medical at- tention from Dr. J. P. G. Maroosis. The burns, although painful, were not serious. Before the fire was extinguished there was some slight damage to the | kitchen of the brick house. However, firemen said this morning that the | lady, through her prompt and cour | ageous action had the situation well under control when they arrived a few minutes later. Captain Cecil Pollock was charge of the fire party. in BRITISH REPORTED IN PALESTINE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ---------- Israeli Say Move Violates Truce; Charge Is Denied Tel Aviv, Nov. 9 (AP) --Israel formally asked the United Nations truce headquarters today to investigate reports that "not inconsiderable numbers of British troops" have entered Trans-Jordan and that some of them have entered Palestine, (The War Office in London issued ¢ a denial, saying "we have no troops | in Trans-Jordan and there is no | question of any British troops going | back into Palestine since the evacu- | ation.") The government also charged Britain with wholesale rearming of both Iraq and Trans-Jordan, Arab foes of Israel. It wrote the head- quarters of the mediator, Dr. Ralph Bunche, that large shipments of arms and military equipment .for Iraq, including tanks of all classes, have arrived at the Port of Basra in a British ship. A letter from Dr. Walter Eytan of the Israeli Foreign Office de- clared that if the reports of British troop movements proved true "they would be flagrant violations." .

It was planned that U.N. ma- chinery would be used' to establish this armistice, the sources said. In the interim, Bunche would be directed to settle all current prob- lems of the present truce. To do this, he would have auth- | ority vested in him by a British- | American-Chinese resolution adopt- | ed last week by the Council. This | resolution called upon Israeli and Egyptian forces in Southern Pales- tine to observe the truce in the Negev area. 4 Private Jewish sources declared British troops were moving into sections of Eastern Palestine held by the Arab Legion.
