Ernest Taylor of Pres- ton, Ont., during bitter fighting in Korea last May 2 told Taylor he would be shot if other Canadians taken prisoner at the same time tried to escape. Taylor, 27, one of eight Canadian prisoners released by the Com- munists today, told his story of the capture shortly after reaching Freedom Village. The eight trim- -looking Canadians released in the continuing ex- change of prisoners brought to 24 the number the Chinese have re- turned to Y Nations' hands. A bare month ago the enemy | romised to return only 14 Cana- dians, although it was known then that at least 25 or 27 Canadians were in captivity. Today's freed prisoners said that at least three more Canadian in- fantrymen, possibly one army flier and one RCAF jet pilot are still in enemy hands. They had never seen the fliers but said they had received word of both of them in their camp. Five of today's batch were vet- erans of the sharp engagement in which the 3rd battalion of the Royal Sanadian Regiment was in- volved last May 2. A Chinese bat- ,talion swept ontd' the battalion's forward platoons from behind after first bumping into a fighting patrol the" battalion had sent into no man's land. They spoke of a terrific gunnery barrage the 81st Field Regiment of the Royal Canadian Artillery used to box off the battle and said next day they saw 'an army stretcher - bearers evacuating |ital enemy wounded." The other three Canadians were from the 3rd battalion of the Roya 22nd Regiment. Two were sur- vivors of a patrol on May 20 which until today was not thought to have accomplished much. .C t "Times-Gazette Staff Photo Checkoffs- IA La Savi AP)--A wave of new arrests 'in connection with' Ger- many's June 27 revolt was reported as the Communists announced an alleged leader of the uprising had Deeg sentenced to life imprison- ment.

All of the Canadians released to- day had been officially listed as missing in action and believed captured. The Reds threw a disquieting note into today's exchange by an- nouncing that 400 of the UN PoWs still in their stockades may not come back because they have chosen to live under Communist rule. Allied sources confirmed that the Red statement was handed over at a meeting of the prisoner repatriation committee here Mon- day night and said there was no word the nationalities of the men - question. Nine officers--all of low rank in the infantry or field artillery-- were among the Americans freed today. There was no indication when the Reds would hand over top Allied officers bel captive.

Foreign Minister K. T.

"We are not vetoing who will be at the peace conference. But we certainly can say whether we will be there, and we certainly may walk out or boycott the con- ference if the UN goes ahead and votes to sit India on our side." Pyun earlier Monday had bit- terly attacked India before the UN assembly's" pelitical committee as an appeaser of the Communists, "not only trafficking with the Com- munists but intriguing with them to make the free world look con- temptible." His violent blast visibly rocked India's chief delegate, V. K. Krishna Menon. The Indian may reply late today or Wednesday. The committee scheduled two sessions of debate today, but 11 speakers, including Britaifi's Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd and Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky, were ahead of Menon.

FOURTEEN PAGES | CHANGE SCHOOL BOUNDARIES New Premises Cause Switch Extensive re-allocation of the public school popula« tion in Oshawa, necessitated by the opening of four new schools on September 8, is announced by Inspecéor T. R. McEwen. Overcrowded conditions in many of the old schools is also a factor in the adjustments. While - the outline of new boundaries has been made as close as possible on a basis: of the known enrolment, it is quite possible that further alterations will have to be made ' in September. EXPLAINS PLAN hd Inspector McEwen' said today that Grades seven and eight will be taught in North Simcoe, King Street, Ritson Road, South Simcoe and Centre Street Schools while Grade seven will be taught at West- mount. All other schools teach only the first six grades. Purpose of this arrangement is to allow the younger pupils to attend close to their own homes and away from traffic congestion. Twelve - teachers, including all the new appointees to principal. ships, this summer took an auxil- iary class course in Toronto which equips them more adequately for doing testing and remedial work with pupils. BLOOR EAST CLOSED As previously announced, Bloor East school will be closed for coming year and all pupils, lly ing Grades one to eight, will be transported by bus to Ritson Road School. For the present, the bu will call at Bloor East School a 8.15 in the morning. The inspector emphasized that it is not, at present, possible to state all changes in boundaries that may be necessary until the enrolment for September is known. In most cases they will remain substant- ially as they are, but there will be a few adjustments which are known and are included below. These boundaries have been made by the principals of the schools concerned and the Inspec- tor. They are subject to the approv- al of the Board at its September meeting, and are based only on the data available before the opening LAO SECON of school. The Board's authority for these changes is set forth in Section 93 (h) of the Public Schools Act. Inquiries will be answered at the Inspector's office, phone 5-1107, GENE! PLAN The following directions are in- tended to be tentative. Minor changes in boundaries may be ne- cessary to meet emergencies but in so far as is possible the data set forth below will be adhered to in regard to pupils up to and includ- ing Grade 6. NORTH WEST AREA J : (Including Westmount, Wood- crest and Thornton's Corners). Thornton's Corners 1s being vacat- ed by the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion in accordance with the annex- ation agreement, Pupils from e | Grades 1 to 6 will go to Woodcrest if they live on Madison Avenue or north of it. Those living South of Madison will go to Westmount. Grade 7 pupils will go to Westmount and Grade 8 to Centre Street. The east boundary of Westmount will be as usual Park Road. SOUTH WEST AREA (Including South Simcoe, Col- lege Hill and" Cedardale). College Hill will accommodate pupils West of Cubert Street and South of the CPR tracks. The South boundary of this school will be Bloor Street. Grade 7 and 8 pupils from this area will go to South Simcoe School. It will be necessary to fur ther relieve Cedardale School by sending Grade 7 = el as Grade SCH (Continued on Page 3) "*Council Cuts Firm's Extras By $32,800 For the second time within a month a major contracting firm has tried to "put the bite'" on the City of Oshawa for extras in a contract which, if paid, would cost thousands of dollars.

But he swam back to shore, he added, because he "got a mouth- ful of that water and couldn't swallow it."
