"1952 DIDN'T MATTER" Lay Fears U.S. Gov't Might Start Depression PICKERING BEACH --(Staff Reporter)-- A fear & La |'said the Tory leader did not say that the power of the Republican Party in the U.S., with |how or where he would get the its McCarthys and Tafts might lead to a repetition of the mistakes of 1930 which resulted in the depression, was ex- pressed yesterday by John Lay, the Liberal candidate for Ontario County riding in the forthcoming election. He was speaking at a garden party held on the lawns of the home of Cecil Kaizer, at Pickering Beach. Introduced as the only person who had paid any interest in the ple of Pickering Beach, Mr. Jeo opened his speech by declar- ing that the result of the 'federal by-election held in May last year "did not matter to the Liberal Party." NEEDED SHAKE "They could stand shaking up," "he" remarked. However, the choice before the people on August 10 was to choose a government -- and \ that was an entirely different situ- \ ation. "The ehoice was, said Me Lay, between two . He class the "splinter Erours" as of no im- ance, They had no hope of orming a government, "'So at this crucial time in history we are choosing Which u these two ies (Liberal and Conserv- pri a govern," pointed out Mr. Lay. The literature put out by the Conservative candidate (Mich- ael Starr) did not tie in with 'the party, commented Mr. Lay, but the To candidate did support George Drew. . 1930 OVER AGAIN? ; Turning to the international field Mr. Lay said. that "today we are faced with a similar situation to that which existed in 1930. Then the Republican Party was in power in America. Tariff walls were erected in 1930 and in a matter of months things began to slip. "Caught in the backwash of the Wall Street smash the Liberal party was thrown out. Dunning was offering this country an enlighten- ed policy but he was turned down by the Tory cry that they would open up markets in 30 days. The Bennett government raised retaliatory tariff walls against the USA. It tried Empire preference and making deals with the Com- alth. The result was com- plete stagnation and the Bennett overnment was thrown out in 1935. Tories have never been back in since." Mr. Lay went on to say that Canada was facing another crucial | Pr period. The Republicans were again in power in America. GRIM FORECAST "And with their MecCartheys' and Tafts' I can see only a repeti- tion of the same mistake as in 1930," forcast Mr. Lay. Referring to Mr, Drew's promise to cut $400,000 from taxes Mr. Lay money for the administration of the country. Mr. Drew was going around mak- ing promises which would add up to many millions of dollars over and above what the government the country was spending right now. "At ten per cent or 25 per cent tax cut in takes is impossible," stated Mr. Lay. "The only result would be more debt." BIG BUILD-UP Reviewing the Liberal record since 1935, Mr. Lay said the coun- try had been built up to the posi- tion of number one country in the world. It had the world's strong- est currency. The Liberal government under Louis St.. Laurent had made tax "cuts which far outshone any prom- ises made by George Drew. "Thank God the mess in Korea is nearly over," said Mr. Lay. "But we must keep up our defence pro- gram. We will continue to make such tax cuts as the economy of the nation will permit. "It may be possible to scale de- fence expenditures down but we do not know what is going on behind the Iron Curtain and we must be ep i Concluding his remarks Mr. Lay said that he hoped he would be elected on August 10 and pledged himself first to be a Good Canadian and secondly a true representative of all the people regardless of their political affiliations. His final quo- tation was "Don't trade prosperity for promises."

(CP)--Relatives plan today to bring the remains of three mysteriously-slain Amer- ican bear huaters home to Penn- sylvania for burial. The relatives will leave behind them the hunters' belongings--a truck, guns, hunting equipment and a few ragged pieces of cloth- ing. . Police decided not to release the hunters' belongings after a coro- ner's jury ruled that two of the men, 17-year-old Richard Lindsey of Hollidaysburg, Pa., and 20-year- $4.500 Worth of Names 'Pad Air Force MONTREAL (CP)--Five airmen | employed in the accounting de- partment of the RCAF station at suburban Lachine have been taken into custody for misarpropriating $4,500. This ofcial announcement came Tuesday night from RCAF head- quarters in Ottawa, but reports here had the amount involved as high as $20,000. Air force officials here had little "to say. Wing Cmdr. E. R. John- ston, officer commanding the sta- tion at Lachine, although admit- ting an irregularity, said he did not wish to make any comment at this stage. Air Commodore A. C. Ripley, commanding officer of the air transport command, said a board of inquiry has been appointed, but he would not name the members. Officials would not say how long the payroll padding been going on. This official announcement came "A routine audit at the RCAF station at Lachine has brought to light irregularity in the financial accounting system. "Five airmen have been placed in custody pending completion of an investigation ordered by air force authorities. . "Investigation to date shows that approximately $4,500 has been mis- appropriated, a large part of which has been recovered. Names of the personnel involved will not be re- jeated until charges have been aid." system had | Payroll One transport command official termed the case a "most peculiar deal' and one that might not have been spotted but for a twinge of conscience of one of the airmen. He said the air force has a "pretty fine chaplain service" and apparently one of the men involv- ed went to his chaplain when his conscience got the better of him. Bury Hunters After Inquest old Fred Claar of East Freedom, Pa., were "murdered by gunshot wounds at the hands of a person or persons unknown." The jury found that the leader of the party, Richard Lindsey's 45-year-old father, Eugene H. Lind- sey, died of "unknown causes." The three men left Gaspe June 9 on a bear-hunting expedition. They were last reported seen alive June 10 by prospector Wilbert Cof- fin who helped them secure a spare part for their truck. Tuesday, Captain J. A. Matte, head of the provincial police team who led the search foi the hunters, announced that searchers had found a brown wallet, identified by papers in it as belonging to Eugene | Lindsey. Capt. Matte said there was no money in the wallet, although Lind- sey was reported to have been carrying some $700 when he went into the bush. He said the wallet was found, ripped open along the fold, on the banks of a small stream not far from where Lindsey's body was discovered two weeks ago. . Police Tuesday night said noth- ing new had been found since the wallet was discovered Monday. The searchers now are being withdrawn BROWNED OFF PASADENA, Calif.

A team of 60 officers with 30 radio cars made the search without finding the package. Radio and television stations carried warn- ings that any passenger finding such a package should be careful. The woman was reported as say- ing the package contained typhus germs. Exposure to these could ¢ Lost Germ-Laden Parcel cause serious and prolonged fever. Typhus is highly contagious. _ However, a depwy commissioner of the city health department said the matter was "exaggerated." The official, Dr. Ralph S. Muck- enfuss, said it is highly unlikely that research on typhus is being conducted in the city. He said the uniforms probably belonged to his agency's typhoid laboratory. Muckenfuss said typhoid prob- ably could not be spread by the uniform. He said typhoid is a food- borne disease, which can be con- tracted only when a person swal- lows a germ. ad |China Is Told "Be Peaceful' b ht into line if these ' three problems are handled successfully: 1. The U.S. public must be in- formed that the British govern- ment is enforcing®the ban on the shipment of strategic materials to Communist China.

Ultimately some decision will have to he taken on Communist China's position in the community of nations. Good Times Continuing For Steel NEW YORK (AP)--The Iron Age, national metal-working mag- azine, says today nothing worse than a moderate decline is in pros- pect for the steel industry before the end of the year. It adds that even a moderate decline is not a certainty. A check by The Iron Age in- dicates that carryovers from the third to the fourth quarter will be much larger than expected. Carry- overs are orders which could not be delivered at the' specified time. The magazine says some steel consumers are annoyed by per- sistent reports that the steel mar- ket is beginning to decline or is due to decline shortly. Manufac- turers who are unable to place orders for all the tonnage they want are disappointed by fourth quarter "quotas'" which are smal- ler than they expected, The Iron Age adds.

The one proj- ect given to General Motors ac- counted for more than a third of the entire defence expenditure in that time. Contracts valued at $14,913,479 were placed. All went to Canadian firms.

It is not yet officially known whether the new contract will affect that layoff.

CAIRO (AP)--The United States has proposed that Britain get out of the disputed Suez canal zone within 18 months, leaving behind a maximum 4,000 technicians to maintain the base for no more than five years, the Egyptian Army weekly newspaper Tahrir said today. These suggestions were part of a five-point proposal sent to Egypt by President Eisenhower last week as a basis for solving the British- Egyptian dispute over the vital canal area, the Hewspaper said. Other points, Al Tahrir reported, Mother Beat Boy To Death CHICAGO (AP)--Police said a! 28-year-old 'mother related early today she tied her three-year-old son to a water pipe, then beat him to death with a chair, break- ing his arms, legs and nose. The child's body was found Tues- day night by police who went to the family's apartment to investi- gate a neighbor's complaint that the mother, Mrs. Veronica Burow- sky, was trying to conceal an in- jured child. ; Police said the woman related she beat the boy, Peter Jr., be- cause he was disobedient. Mrs. Browsky and her 35-year- old husband, Peter Sr., have three other small children. Police said they found this note from Mrs. Bur- owsky to her husband in the kit- chen of the apartment: "Pete: Well, the bum got up again this a.m. same thing. I got him in a closet. You can feed him supper if you want to, and then tie him up again. . . ." The woman was held without charge.

Hungry Crowds Defiant Cross Border For Food BERLIN (AP)--The first truck- {load of United States food crossed | the Soviet zone of Germany today and finally reached West Berlin | after Communist border guards de- layed it at both ends of the Red- encircled city's highway link to the west. The truck, Jrinelng 20 tons of food from the U. 8S. fréighter Amer- ican Inventor, entered the Ameri- can sector of West Berlin 20 min- utes after German truck drivers had reported Communist police were unloading if and apparently confiscating its contents. The truck had been halted first-- for 2% hours--at the Soviet zone border 100 miles west of Berlin. After a thorough check by the Com- munist guards, it was permitted #o pass, Its second delay for checking occurred at Babelsberg, just out- side the western sector, where all vehicles coming through the Soviet zone are examined before they are permitted info West Berlin. The food was the first delivery of a $15,000,000 stock being sent by the United States to replenish est Berlin's emergency food stocks now being depleted' by free distributions to hungry East Ger- mans. In West Berlin, meanwhile, the biggest crowds yet thronged across the Iron Curtain border for the third day of the distribution of free food parcels. They came de- spite an implied Communist threat that those getting the food faced arrest as spies, : The Soviet zone radio began broadcasting hourly names and ad- dresses of East German food re- cipients. It charged they were be- ing' recruited as future agents by western espionage experts. The intent of the radio name- calling was clear--to warn East Germans they risk arrest as west- ern agents if they persist in com- ing to the West for aid. But the trek of the hungry con- tinued on a massive scale. Long lines again formed at the 40 West Berlin food distribution points be- fore dawn, in preparation for the 8 a. m. opening. "It is a revolt against commun- ism as big and as startling as the June 17 riots," ome West Berlin official commented. THE CROWDS ARE NEW By Canadian Press Staff Writer With election i time a Progressive Conservative gov- t would get tougher with running out, political leaders may be running out of fresh things to |say, but there are still plenty of audiences. Campaign talk Tuesday was largely a call-over of previous at- tacks and counter-attacks. Both Prime Minister St. Laurent and George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, were swing- ing through Ontario. While their leader, M. J. Coldwell was stump- ing the West, the CCF also threw two' top spokesmen into the cam- paign for Ontario's 85 seats--Pre- mier T. C. Douglas of Saskatche- wan and C. H. Millard, one of Canada's leading unionists. At Niagara Falls, Mr. Drew said recent action by the United States government in reducing its mili- tary appropriations supports his view that Canadian taxes can be cut by $500,000,000 a year. He told an audience of more than 300 that the U.S. government cut its air force budget by $5,000,- 000,000 by reducing inefficiency and added: "I suspect that Presi- dent Eisenhower knows as much about military matters as Prime Minister St. Laurent." Mr. Drew reiterated the Progres- sive Conservative charge that there is waste and extravagance in the national defence department 2nd inefficiency in its administra- ion, Speaking on behalf of the woman Progressive Conservative candi- date in Niagara Falls riding. Mr. iDrew said his party encourages women to take part in politics. There was" one reason why he hoped Progressive Conservative women candidates would win seats: "There is no place in the whole of Canada that needs a house-cleaning as does the House of Commons at this time." Later, before a Hamilton audi- ci the U.S. in trade relations. He said it is strange the govern- ment 'does nothing" about U.S. barriers against Canadian farm products and at the same time "does nothing" about American firms dumping textiles in Canada. The U.S. "accepts Canadian pro- ducts only when it is convenient to them." Mr. Coldwell, speaking in Cal- gary, attacked what he termed "discriminatory" Liberal taxation laws and plugged again for a na- tional health plan. He called Pro- gressive Conservative leader George Drew's promise of a $500,- 000,000 tax cut "as dishonest as when William Aberhart (founder of the Social Credit party) prom- 12 Days To Go Before Vote But Nothing To Talk About ised to give everyone in this prov- ince (Alberta) $25 a month and to open the gate of Heaven for them." He sald indirect taxes on essen- tial purchases will be responsible for raising about $1,500,000,000, or one-third, of this year's total bud- get requirements. It was through these indirect, or hidden, taxes that lower income groups bore the greatest tax burden. He said the CCF had favored raising income tax deductions te $2,000 a year for single persons and $3,000 for married persons, but this had been opposed in Parliament by the Progressive Conservatives. Yet Monday night "the promising leader of the Con- servatives" had thrown this "into do, ELECTION (Continued on Page 2) A Roman ST. THOMAS (CP)--Prime Min- ister St. Laurent said Tuesday night that entertainment in Rome cost Canada $2,980, and not $35, 000 as claimed by the Progressive Conservatives. Mr. St. Laurent, in an outdoor address here, was replying to criticism made at a previous meet- ing by John Diefenbaker, Progres- sive Conservative member eof the last House for Lake Centre, who was reported to have charged that External Affairs Minister Pearson once 'threw' a. $35,000 party for diplomats in Rome and did not show this 'amount on public accounts. ; > Mr. St. Laurent said Mr. Pearson had replied in Ottawa that Mr. Diefenbaker was "as wrong as any person could be." There had been ence of 1,100, Mr. Drew indicated some entertainment in Rome while SEOUL (AP)--The withdrawal of two mighty armies from the Ko- rean demilitarized, zone continued smoothly today as the Thursday night deadline approached. Enemies a few days ago, Allied and Communist troops . worked within shouting distance of each other, salvaging material and wrecking fortifications that took months to build. Although Allied f{roops were warned by the 8th army against fraternization with the Reds, there were reports of friendly contacts all along the war-shattered front. The Reds accused the Allies of eight violations of the demilitar- ized zone at today's session of the Korean armistice commission. They charged three United Nations planes flew over the buffer zone 2 Years To Build; Forts Destroyed and that one machine gun burst and four artillery rounds were fired after the cease-fire became effective. Maj.-Gen. Blackshear M. Bryan, chief Allied delegate to the com- mission, called the charges *'"alle- gations, broad and general, and nothing serious." "None have been substantiated," Bryan 'said. Under terms of 'the armistice signed Monday, both sides are to have pulled back 1% miles each from the truce line by 10 p. m. Thursday (9 a. m. EDT)---three days after the cease-fire. "It otok us two years to build this line." one American officer remarked. 'Now we've got to tear down in 72 hours milliops of dol- lars of fortifications." Scandal Over NATO Party Mr. Pearson was chairman of the North Atlantic council. But the total bill for all the entertainment was only $2,980, not $35,000, and all of the amount had been shown on public accounts. Egypt Claims U.S. Support In Dispute included a promise of U. §. mili- tary and economic aid to Egypt and an Egyptian pledge that the zone woul maintained for use by the United States and its allies in case of war or a threat of war. Under the proposal the news- paper added, the seven-country Arab League would be empowered to decide when a state of war or a threat of war existed. Britain had been reported demanding this right previously. Al Tahrir said the Egyptian gov- ernment had replied to the U. S. but the newspaper gave no details of the Egyptian answer. Salons Rock As New Skirt Style Is Born PARIS (AP)--The first shots were being fired today in the style war over the length of milady's skirts. Anxious husbands, whose pocketbooks will be among the first casualties, watched from the sidelines. . Christian Dior, the father of the New Look, started it Tuesday by decreeing that from now on the skirt must end just below the knee. This reverses the trend set by Dior in 1947, when he covered most of the calf. Norman Hartnell, the dress- maker to the Queen, was quick to take up the challenge. He told newspapermen .in London: 'The hem stays where it 4s. Calf length is the most graceful for a woman's skirts--anything shorter is ugly." Hartnell designed the Coronation gown. But London courtiers aren't traditional followers of Paris styl- ists, and there was an indication Dior's trend would be followed by others in Paris. Ranger Drowns SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. (CP) W. R. Sillers, 31, of Sault Ste. Marie is believed to have drowned Tuesday in Manitowak lake in the Chapleau area. A forest biology ranger with the Ontario forest insect laboratory, Sillers was on a field trip in a canoe when the mishap occurred. Family NEW YORK (AP)--The family of Senator Robert A. Taft was gathered here today after his con- dition suddenly took a turn for the worse. A New York hospital bulletin Tuesday night reported the Senate majority leader was "generally weaker" and that his condition was "unsatisfactory." A later announce- ment said he was "resting a little more comfortably."" Taft was re- ported not to be suffering any pain. Tuesday 'was the first day of serious reports on the 63-year-old Ohio Republican, who has been at the hospital for several weeks for treatment of a hip lesion. Besides Mrs. Taft, the senator was visited by two of their sons, Lloyd and Robert Jr., Tuesday. Mrs. Taft was flown here from Washington. She suffered a stroke some time ago and now gets around in a wheel chair. Taft's sudden turn for the worse stirred speculation in Washington concerning changes in the national political &cene if his illness should force him out of the Senate per- manently. It could mean that the Demo- crats, although reported reluctant to do so at present, would wind up in control of the Senate. Gov- ernor Frank J. Lausche of Ohio is a Democrat and would be con- Taft Weaker Called SEN. TAFT sidered likely to name a Democrat to fill the spot. This would shift a Republican majority of one to a Democratic majority of one. Hospital - bulletins so far have given no clue to Taft's ailment
