COURTESY FIRST Until the city gets its own ambul- ances it will not able to ac- cept out-of-town calls which would leave Oshawa without an ambul- ance in case of emergency. Plans for the service were reveal- ed at a press conference called this week by Mayor Jack Naylor. Present were Ald. Gordon Atter- Rae Halliday, chairman of the city's special ambulance commit- tee and Fire Chief W. R. Elliott. "Courtesy is to be our keyword," declared Chief Elliott.

Other organizations are helping us out wonderfully." The local Rotary Club has chip- ped in with a machine that is a combined rescucitator, inhalator and aspirator worth $500, SPECIAL CASES A special ambulance chair to be used for carrying and lifting pat- ients is to be given by the Atomic recreation association and it is ex- pected that another service club will donate another inhalator for use in the second ambulance. For lengthy emergency runs, such as taking a breath-robbed pol- io victim to Toronto, the ambulance service will be able to rrent special large-size tanks of oxygen which can be used with the Rotary's gift. Extras, such as the oxygen, will not be charged against the individ- ual patient. To cope with the expenses a new card index system has been prepared. Report cards will be fill- ed out for each case and patients will be asked, unless they are gravely sick or hurt, if they could pay on the spot. If they don't pay at the time of the call, they will be billed every 30 days.

Chief Elliott ex- plained that the men on the job might leave the city and go miles to pick up a man who looked as if he might be bleeding to death. After being patched up in the hos- pital the patient might be able to leave within a matter of hours and ' he had no knowledge of where to pay the ambulance, FULL STAFF An arrangement has been made with the hospital whereby the am- bulance bill for such patients will be added to the hospital account. Ald, Attersley revealed that the hospital authorities had offered to take care of the laundry for the ambulance during its early stages. Each of the city's two Cadillacs will be provided with one cot and one stretcher. There are two cots in the Ajax vehicle.

The day before, a prospective Jamaican tenant of the flat had brought to light 'the partly-clothed bodies of three girls, jammed into a pantry niche walled up by sev- eral thicknesses of wallpaper. The four women had been dead for periods ranging from five weeks to three months.

The speakers were Duncan Mac- Tavish, president of the National Liberal Federation; George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, and Solon Low, Social Credit leader. Their speeches were prepared for broadcast in the CBC program "Citizens Forum." Mr. MacTavish said the main ther Canadians are to continue to have a "government sustained by the only party which attracts pop- ular support in all parts of Can- ada and therefore elects members to the House of Commons Irom every province." The alternative to a Liberal gov- ernment, said Mr, MacTavish, is a Parliament of regional groups-- a 'handful of Social Crediters from Alberta, a handful of Socialists from Saskatchewan, a few more Tories from Ontario and the Mari- times and some so-called indepen- dents from Quebec." DREW VIEW Mr. Drew said he believes one of the main issues in the election issue in the election will be whe- | will be the 'Waste, extravagance | and inefficiency of the present gov- ernment." Mr. Drew added: "If Canadians want lower taxes and their cost of living reduced, then the only way they can do anything about it is to elect a new, government." The Progressive Conservative party, he said, offers the only "possible alternative to the Liberal | party." ! Mr. Coldwell said the CCF plans | to place several matters before the electorate, including its demands for a national health insurance pro- gram. The party also would criticize 'extravagance and inefficiency' in the defence program; the govern- ment's "failure" to undertake a national housing program; the gov- ernment's 'rich man's budget' for 1953, and the 'failure' to regain and expand overseas markets. Mr. Lowe said the greatest prob- lem facing the whole world is how to "distribute the abundance that men in this age of machines and | skills can produce." | He suggested only the Social | Credit party could open up a "new | era of security and freedom for all I men." SEOUL (AP) -- United States marines today regained Vegas out- post from Chinese troops who 24 hours earlier wiped out all mar- ines there in a surprise smash. The. marines recaptured ¥ the western front outpost after 10 hours of bitter, costly hand-to-hand trench fighting. A regimental commander said the Chinese killed or captured every marine on Vegas and nearby Reno outposts when 3,500 Reds seized the positions in a surprise night attack. The number of mar- ine casualties was not disclosed. The commander of the 5th mar- iné regiment said that at 9:45 p.m. tonight (7:45 a.m. EST), his troops were in firm control of Vegas. The marines reported they de- stroyed the effectiveness of from 12 to 15 Chinese companies--more than 2,000 troops. There was no estimate of Chi- nese casualties.

NAIROBI, Kenya (CP )-- Mau Mau terrorists massa- cred an estimated 200 African men, women and children north of Nairobi during the night -- beginning the open war they promised against white settlers and pro-government Africans in the British colony.

They ransacked the station and seized 50 rifles, 12 sub-machine- guns, carbines and thousands of rounds of ammunition. In both raids the attackers made their escape in trucks. About 100 terrorists drove up to the police station in two trucks, killed the five natives and release all the prisoners. The dead included the African policeman on duty in his office, an African member of the Kenya police reserve, two released prisoners and one suspected ter- rorist.

A few feigned death and mane aged to dash to safety in the nearby pine woods. Some of the Mau Mau gangs were estimated to have numbered between 300 and 500 men. Those killed included chief Luka.

R. McGre- gor, president of Trans-Canada Air Lines, yesterday told the House of Commons Railway Committee that the company is studying the pos- sibility of using the local airport as an alternate airport to Toronto's Malton during foggy periods. Mr. McGregor said that with some changes in the surfacing of its airfield Oshawa might well be- come an emergency landing place for TCA planes. He agreed with John M.

Joe Lacosse, fired Thursday from CBLT, the CBC's Toronto TV station, was on his way up the lattice work of the 460-foot high tower by 10 p. m. He climbed a ladder and eased himself up the girders to the 100-foot level plat- form where he got on the stairs. About half an hour later Don Woodley, 20, spotted him. When he came closer Lacosse yelled: "Get back or I'll jump." Woodley then notified police. !

The only tangible evidence of the drama was a ladder leaning against a corner pillar--the first few steps in his 300-foot climb.
