Wreckage of the borrowed auto, in which they were setting out for a holiday at Owen Sound, was strewn along the track for half a mile. Both died instantly. They were liviog at 92 Elgin Street, Cobourg. Mr. Camp was chief engineer for the Ontario Hos- pital in Cobourg. During the period from 1932 to 1937 he served at the Ontario Hospital at Whitby and he and his wife then lived in one of the residences on the grounds. The trip which ended in their deaths started yesterday morning when they borrowed a car from a neighbor, R. H. Richards, to go to Owen Sound. Unfamiliarity with the car and the involved route around the Langstaff are believed by police to have contributed to the crash. The car stalled on the Langstaff Road crossing two miles south of M4ple. Police were baffled why the couple remained in the car as vis- ibility, according to officers, was clear for at least quarter-of-a-mile in either direction. The engineer of the train, John Coéhrane, of Midland, saw the car rocking back and forth on the crossing as if the driver was mak- ing a frantic effort to get it clear. When the train hit the car it sent the body of 51-year-old Mrs. Clamp 250 feet down the line. Her hus- band was knocked 100 feet. He was a World War I veteran and in ad- dition to working at Whitby had also served in the Ontario Hospital at Brockville. FEAR BLACKMAIL UK.

Frenzied Cannibals Hold Orgy Hold LUrdy 'New +Gtfmen | (Reuters)--Frenzied New Guinea natives hacked and mutilated women and children of a neighbor- ing tribe and then ate a youth in a cannibalistic orgy, an Australian police patrol leader reported here today. W. J. Johnston said he had found the remains in a blood-spattered clearing in the Australian-admin- istered southern highlands. "The raiding party, in a mad frenzy after killing their victims, hacked into trees to work off their lust," he added. "An uncooked hand and foot were left near the ashes of a fire, so apparently the raiders had eaten their fill,"" he said. Johnston said his party had {tracked down the murderers and given them a scare by shots from their rifles. He advised that no further action seemed necessary "as I think the effect of firearms was so great they will behave for a time."

City Purchases Railway's An agreement was concluded this week between the City of Oshawa and the Oshawa Railway Company by which the roadway on Bond Street East, in that block between Mary and Division Streets, has been sold by the railway to the city. This road has been open to the public, but it has never been main- tained and some of the width is taken up with General Motors employee parking. Also the nature of the tracks in the block has been Road such as to almost prohibit its use for vehicular traffic. Eventually, the city will have a proper 66-foot street through that block. Meanwhile, most of the width will be 54 feet. It is not proposed to pave the block this year, since sewer installations will probably be made first. The railway 'has agreed to re- habilitate ts tracks, relay them and pave tween them, also to pave an 18-inch shoulder on either side of each rail. Thereafter, the city will Je responsible for main- tenance of the road.

David Murphy, a Massachusetts state trooper, said pretty Mildred McDonald, 25, had signed a written statement admit- ting she shot Mary di Rocco, 14, in the di Rocco home in Somer ville, Mass., Monday. Miss McDonald, also of Somer- ville, was taken into custody here Tuesday night near Times square. Police in Somerville started to search for her soon after the body of the teen-ager was found Monday. The slain girl had suffered five bullet wounds while a sixth shot went wild; her throat was alashed, and her clothing was covered with oil. Police said the slayer appar- enily had tried to set the body afire. Miss McDonald had been dated for three years by one of the slain girl's brothers, Joseph. He married another girl last April. New York police said Miss Me- Donald at first denied her identity. Then they said she admitted who she is and said she came to New York Monday afternoon. The officers said they found in her possession a gun of: the type used in the Massachusetts killing, a knife, loaded cartridges and' six discharged cartridges. Shortly after midnight, Massa- chusetts police arrived to question | ---- her. Police said the slaying was the apparent result of fear, nervous- ness and anger. They said Miss McDonald admitted going to the di Rocco home and that she said she planned to talk to Joseph's mother about him. However, Murphy said, Mary was the only one home. The officer quoted Miss McDonald as saying she talked with Mary, who com- mented on the happy marriage of her brother. This comment angered Miss McDonald, Murphy said.

In a report to members Tuesday, the general council, the governing committee of the TUC, made it clear to the Labor party, whose purse strings it controls, that it is (6, prepared to leap boldly into - nationalization ventures. "The case for public ownership and control should be coustatily related to the over-riding need we our economic position in the world," the council said. It backed the Labor party's pro- posal to nationalize water supplies, ut called for caution and further investigation of Pléns for major industries, including aircraft and chemicals.

Earlier, the TUC oh vosais will have a discussion |j on the proposals at its own annual delegate conference. The Labor state-control pro- posals were announced recently after the original draft had been considerably modified because of TUC warning growls. But the in- dustrial wing<which represents five-sixths of the Labor party's 000,000 Membiersiip--still is not satisfied. Tuesday's report said "it would not be true to say public opinion is strongly prepared for the trans fer of further industries to public ownership." The report took the Labor pro- joa point by point and gave the C general council's reactions as follows: 1. Chemicals--Labor said there should be "a substantial degree of public ownership." The TUC coun- cil believed the next Labor govern: ment should institute an hquity into the facts before deciding the nature and extent of control. 2. Aircraft industry--Labor pro- posed to take powers to acquire any, firm that Pell down on its especially if it neglected jo, es for expansion. stated a more detailed analysis of the problem must be made before final conclusions were reached. 3. Agriculture--Labor said it would use existing powers more vigorously and take extended pow- ers to acquire farm land for pub- lic ownership where necessary to Sufire full use and maximum out- put. The TUC answered there was no reason why a start should not be made by enlarging the area of publicly-owned land. It might be advisable to consider whether an expansion of powers was required, and existing powers should cer- tainly be more fully used. 4.

PANMUNJOM (AP) - Another 400 United Nations soldiers re- turned from North Korean stock- ades today amid indications the Reds will send back some Ameri- cans handed jail terms and possi- bly more prisoners than they- orig- inally promised. Two of 133 Americans who cros- sed into friendly hands today said some fellow Americans sentenced to prison for instigating against the peace' were awaiting repat- riation, possibly in a day or two, at Kaesorig. Kaesong, just north of Panmunjam, is the Red holding point for Allied PoWs. The apparent switch in the Com- munist attitude toward these pris- oners followed protests by the UN command that the Reds were hold- ing back dozens of men-on trumped up charges. At the Allied base camp at Mun- san, UN command spokesmen said there would be no comment on the reported return of the jailed Amer- icans. Along with 133 Americans, the Reds returned 17 British and 250 South Koreans today, the 22nd day of the big exchange of war prison- ers.

American Bar 'Association, Dulles said he believes the administration can achieve a better world in the face of the fact that man now has the power 'to destroy himself." But he said the UN would have to be changed to make this possible. He recalled that the charter was drafted and signed at San Franc- isco in early 1945 "when none of us knew of the atomic bomb which was to fall on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945," and added: "The charter is thus a pre- atomic age charter. In this sense it was obsolete before it acutally came into force." Dulles went on to say that '"'as one who was at San RR ancaco. I can say with confidence that if the delegates there had known that the mysterious and immeasurable power of the atom would be avail- able as means of mass destruction, the provisions of the charter deal- ing with disarmament and the reg- ulation of armaments would have In a speech prepared for the ® beca far more emphatic and real- stic." Dulles said the second inade: quacy arose from the placing of reliance in a peacetime continua- tion of the wartime partnership of the United States, Britain and Rus- sia with the result that power for action was concentrated in the sec- urity council with its veto. The as- sembly voting procedure gives that body only an advisory role, he sa The third inadequacy, Dulles said, is the fact that the general assembly "has made but little pro- oul in establishing fundamental aw among nations embod, "eternal Drinciples of justice a morality." Dulles told his. audience of law- yers that under the charter itself the general assembly in 1955 must consider calling a charter review meeting. He said the United States "will then vote in favor" of such a conference.
