Man Pushes | Huge Truck To Free Pal A superhuman effort on the part of Jack Clarke, 22, Ritson Road North; moved a 2% ton truck this morning and rescued Donald Ire- land, 22, 132 Gibbon Street, who was pinned helplessly between the truck and a loading platform. Clarke pushed the truck about 1% feet and held it there for several seconds to free his friend. Ireland had just parked the truck at the loading platform of Welding Gasses and Supplies, 155 Simcoe Street South, where both men work, and moved around to the back to unload it. The brakes slin- ped and the truck caught him against the loading platform. The injured man was taken by city ambulance to hospital where he is reportedly resting comfort- ably. Attending physician Rev. B. A. Brown said that'there are no broken bones, although Ireland is suffering from bad bruises to his back and hips. There is a possibil- ity of internal injuries.

Other government sources, also asking not to be quoted by name, were skeptical, -saying the chances of Beria's aving escaped from behind the Iron Curtain were "one in a million." The Senate source said today that 'a new man has gone over who will know him if it is Beria," and that a report from this person can be expected within a few days. This source said the man who calls himself Beria had been con- tacted by agents of McCarthy's subcommittee and 'had sought poli- tical asylum in the United States in exchange for disclosure of Rus- sian secrets. Officials in the executive branch of the government said they knew nothing which would lead them to believe that Beria, former head of WHERE ARE 3,204? Reds Deny Missing Men Were Ever Captured « By ROBERT TUCKMAN PANMUNJOM (AP)--The Com- munists said today most of the 3,404 Allied troops--including three Canadians--for whom the UN com- mand demanded an accounting "have never been captured at all." At the same time, the Commun- ists demanded an accounting for 98,742 North Koreans and Chinese they said were captured by the Allies and are missing. The Reds gave their long-awaited answer to the Sept. 9 Allied de- mand that the Communists pro- duce the men or disclose what happened to them at a meeting of the joint military armistice commission. The missing troops--more than 900 Americans, 2,400 South Kor- eans and nearly 50 from Common- vealth and other Allied nations-- were once believed captured, but neither released in the prisoner ex- change nor reported dead. The Reds called the Allied list i 'crudely m a n ufactured without having been carefully checked," |but reserved the right "to make | further concrete comment." The Reds said 519 of the 3,404 Allies listed as missing already have been returned. They said 380 | others were 'released at the front" {during the war, had escaped, or are dead. They said part of the remainder refused repatriation but "most of the total have never been ca- tured at all." The Reds are expected to deliver to the demilitarized zone Thurs- day more than 300 South Korean and about 20 non-Korean prisoners not otherwise identified who they say refused repatriation.

So far as is known in the West, Beria was last seen in public in Moscow on May 1. Soviet Premier Malenkov denounced him as a traitor on July 9 and ousted him from his posts as home minister and first deputy chairman of the council of ministers.

The 'boy had been poorly since last Monday. On Friday his illness was diagnosed as poliomyelitis and he was rushed to the Toronto Hos- pital. Born in Toronto on March 30, 1942, Ted also lived in Marmora Oshawa.

Thwarting Talks | He Claims At UN UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)--Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky said today that Communist demands for ine cluding neutral countries in the Korean peace conference "must be met." The Soviet delegate told the 60- ® member General Assembly the. de-, cision -taken by the assembly last month ran counter to the armistice agreement in recommending that only countries representing the two belligerents should take part in the parley. "The recommendation of this as- | sembly must be brought into con- formity with the armistice agree- ment," he said. | The U.S. has insisted that the | armistice restricted the represen-| tation in the peace conference to | the two sides, but the Russians | have sought to make it a round- table affair by inviting India and other neutrals. Vishinsky spoke from notes. In the past when he has not had a prepared text it indicated he had received new instructions too late for inclusion in a written speech. The Soviet delegate attacked the position of the U.S. as "obdurate." He said State Secretary Dulles had adopted the policy of South Korean President Syngman Rhee and was doing everything possible "to thwart consideration of this ques- tion at the present session." TRAIL OF WRECKAGE Car Runs Wild At Four Corners A run-away car carried its dazed | driver through two blocks of Sun- day afternoon traffic on King Street directly east of the four corners, smashing five cars and clipping a highway sign neatly off before plowing into a row of three telephone booths in front of Lakas' Lunch. Driver Donald Cooper, 19, 127 Montrave Avenue, told police that he remembered nothing after sideswiping the first car. He suffered cuts about the left eye, and was held in hospital for observation. The night marish ride started as Cooper sideswiped a car driven by Steve Kinlach, 53, of Whitby, which King Men's Wear. The left side of Kim- lach's car was heavily dented and scraped. Cooper's car straightened out and veered slightly to the right curb until it collided with the left rear corner of a parked car. This car, owned by Robert Sage, 27, of Toronto, was smashed badly. Another auto owned by Frank Shewring, 25, 941 Simcoe Street South, was parked on the same curb behind Sage's. Th. left front fender and bumper were crumpled when the run-away rammed it. The fourth car, driven by Fred- erick Brooks, 20, 97 Cromwell Av- enue, was stopped in the line of traffic facing west. Cooper's car sloped over to the left again, a distance of 57 feet, to hit it. Another parked car was smash- ed before Cooper's came to rest in the wreckage -it created. This one, owned by Allan McDowall, 22, of Toronto, sustained a completely wrecked rear end. Mrs. Vera Mec- | Dowall, 45, was just stepping out of the car when it was struck. She fell to the pavement, fortunately uninjured. A solid highway sign located on the curb at Albert and King Streets was picked off neatly at the base two of the three phone booths in front of Lakas' Lunch were smashed to smithereens. After striking five cars, a post and two phone booths, the front end of Cooper's 1947 model was hardly recognizable. It was not insured in any way. PC J. Young was on duty at the four corners and saw the entire series of collisions. Avert Strike MONTREAL (CP)--The dispute between the Seafarers Interna- tional Union (AFL-TLC) and four Canadian shipping companies has been settled and a threatened strike averted, it was announced today. - Announcement of the settlement was made early this morning by Arthur MacNamara, former dep- | uty minister of labor, appointed federal mediator in the dispute last week. His announcement came as sea- men of Colonial Steamship Lines were about to strike. Following a recent strike vote the union had set today as the date for a walk-out on Colonial ships. The vote was taken among 4,000 union members on ships of the Colonial lines, Canada Steamship Lines, N. M. Paterson and Sons, and Upper Lakes and St. Lawrence Transportation Ltd., but only the result of the vote among Colonial seamen had heen announced and a strike-date set.

Of Seafarers Details of the settlement were not immediately disclosed but Mr. MacNamara said the principle of a 40-hour week had been adopted and a new welfare fund established. The union rejected a federal con- ciliation board majority report which recommended gradual re- duction of the work week to 40 hours from 54 by next August with payment at regular rates for week- end work. The seafarers had asked that Saturday, and Sunday work be paid at overtime rates. Mr. MacNamara met with rep- resentatives of the SIU and the shipping companies in Hamilton last week and in Montreal during the week-end. Agreement was reached at 5.30 a.m. Monday. Shipping and fishing industries use half the world's rope produc- tion, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. By SAM SUMMERLIN SEOUL (AP)--A daring North Korean pilot today handed the Al- lies a sleek MiG-15 jet fighter--the deadly Red warplane for which the United States offered $100,000 last February. The MiG's guns were still armed when it raced unheralded from North Korea and made a perfect landing at sprawling Kimpo air base near Seoul. It was the first MiG to fall into Allied hands in Korea. The Russian- { built, swept-wing fighters never left their own air over Red terri- tory during the war. The UN command said the $100,- 000 reward offered for the first MiG to bolt to the Allies is still in effect. There was no quick reaction from the Communists. In Tokyo, Gen. O. P. Weyland, Far East Air Forces commander, said the flier was a North Korean. Weyland announced the jet was from a. "North Korean air unit. It is being studied by U.S. Air Force officers. The pilot's name will not be re- vealed unless he personally con- sents. The pilot disappeared behind a tight wall of secrecy and Kimpo air base was closed to everyone but authorized military personnel. A psychological warfare colonel near Seoul said American Sabre jets met the MiG over the south- ern boundary of the demilitarized strip across the Korean peninsula and escorted the Red fighter to Seoul. An American pilot who met him said the flier pulled a picture of a girl from his blue flying suit and tore it up. The American pieced together the shreds of the picture, which he said 'looked like a North Korean." Col. Don P. Hall of Kingsville, Tex., commander of the 4th Fight- er-Interceptor Wing, said the pilot was 'smiling and very happy it was over with." Hall said the MiG pilot got out of his plane and immediately sal- uted U.S. Capt. Cipriano F. Guerra. "The captain was quite sur- prised," Hall said. 'He got out .of his Sabre jet and walked over to the MiG-15. A crewman threw sandbags under the wheels. "The MiG pilot shook hands with all the men. : "The captain pointed toward the gun on the MiG and the MiG pilot turned off the switch. Air police plane." RED PILOT Continued on Page 5) Urging the members of Local 222 UAW-CIO, to preserve the unity and strength of their union, Rev. C. E. McGuire, director of the On- tario Labor School, Toronto, deliv- ered a thought-provoking address at a stewards' banquet held in the Union Hall on Saturday evening. He further urged union members to de- velop a strong sense of responsibil- ity, saying, "We cannot have a strong union and a strong country unless we are as determined to fulfil our duties as we are to de- mand our rights." Over 300 members of the UAW, with their wives and guests, were present to enjoy the turkey dinner and the program of speeches by union leaders, based. on the theme "Fellowship among the leadership. The event was the first of its kind held by Local 222, and several speakers testified to its value in bringing the stewards together so- cially, and suggested that it be made an annual event. Dancing to the music of Bernard Tierney's orckestra completed the program for an enjoyable evening. REV. FATHER McGUIRE . Rev. Father McGuire traced the growth of unions from" the first time factory workers banded to- gether for the common good of all. He asked that the workers of to- day remember the basic objective of the union -- the free, responsible and dignified member. He assert- ed that if employers could break the workers' unity, the working men would soon lose the gains of years of effort. He urged that the union stay strong, but with a prop- er perspective of its aims and lim- itations. 'Don't let the union be used for the ultimate slavery of the world The union can't be strong unless responsible. We can- not have a strong union and a strong country unless we are as determined to fulfill our duties as we are to demand our rights. "I am going to close by striking Responsibility Stressed At Stewards' Banquet a blow against the Communist doc- trine. There is no such thing as inevitability of class warfare. We must keep our eyes on co-opera- tion between management and the to look after itself alone, but to the common good as well. Let us take an active and intelligent part in the union. Moreover, we will thrive only through over-all unions such as the CIO, seeing that every- one enjoys dignity, a good life and security as intended by the Crea- tor," the speaker said. OTHER SPEAKERS Mayor W. J. Naylor was a guest at the head table. He extended the city's welcome to the Rev. Father McGuire and reminded the mem- bers to remember religion as the basic strength of their existence. He also noted that the union should be proud of its members who have risen to political power in the city. T.D. Thomas MLA, said it is good to have the workers and their wives meet socially. He warned that we are living in the most un- stable times since 1945, and that there is likely to be a lessening in manufacture. He told the stewards that if they keep on their toes to ward off any encroachments by BANQUET (Continued on Page 2) HOW TO ENJOY FRUIT AT BEST You will enjoy fresh fruit. more if you'll remove it from the refrigerator some time be- fore serving.
