20 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, September 24, 1953 Kate Aitken Accused Of Fabricating Interview OTTAWA (CP)--Alexander Stew- ard, information officer for the South African government here, said Wednesday that Prime Min- ister Malan of South Africa "has never set eyes" on . Ka Aitken, Toronto radio commenta- tor. Mr. Steward made the statement in a pamphlet entitled 'South Af- rica--The Complex Country," a monthly publication issued by the South African information office. In the pamphlet Mr, Steward com- ments on statements Mrs. Aitken is reported to have made to ser- vice clubs and other organizations in Toronto, St. Catharines, Peter. borough and Kitchener. Mr. Steward said Mrs. Aitken "told of her hard-earned interview with Dr. Malan whom she de- scribed as a man worse than Hit- ler." He said anyone checking Mrs, Aitken's "e x tr a ordinary state. ments" would have learned "that Dr. Malan has never set eyes on Mrs. Aitken and that the account of the interview was a fabrication from beginning to end." In Toronto, Mrs. Aitken declined to state whether she interviewed Dr. Malan d her visit to South Africa last January. "I will not enter into any. racial or religious controversy," she said. Mr. Steward said "in the whole unfortunate history of post-war misrepresentation of South Africa abroad there is no more significant case than that of Mrs. Aitken." Mr. Steward issued the text of a letter Mrs, Aitken wrote to him Sept. 10. In the letter she said "all copies of our broadcasts were sent to your office in Ottawa and I understand met with the approval of the of- te |ficials of your office." However, Mr. Steward, in a sep- arate statement, said "this mater- ial to which she refers was never received by the high commission- er's office." Mrs, Aitken's letter said: 'I have been presented to Dr. Malan on two occasions, have visited" South Africa three times within the last three years, have relatives in both the Union of South Africa and in Kenya. All information which I used was care- fully checked with dozens of people in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Capetown. Also I have had the privilege of worshipping in the same church with Dr, Malan." Mrs, Aitken's letter makes no mention of an 'interview' with Dr. Malan. Much of what Mrs, Aitken is re- ported to have said is highly un- complimentary to South African policies and to Dr, Malan. Mr. Steward said these statements "were published by newspaper af- ter newspaper in Canada without, apparently, the lifting of a single editorial eyebrow." "This grotesque picture of the rime minister of a friendly coun- ry . . . was passed on to hundreds of thousands of Canadians with not the slightest suggestion--that we are aware of--that it should be re- 1arded even with circumspection." Aussie Hotels Crim, Old, Stuffy By STEWART TILLEY MELBOURNE (Reuters) -- Aus. tralia's chronic shortage of hotel rooms and her stringent liquor con- trol laws are being subjected to critical: scrutiny as the country prepares for a royal tour a few months from now and the 1936 Olympié games here, Architects and building officials assert the country's hotel accom- modations are 20 to 30 years be: hind the times while critics add that her liquor laws are even more out-dated. . During the royal tour, the short. age of hotel space will be felt directly in every state capital while the pinch during the 1056 Olympics will be felt most directly in Melbourne where tha games are to be held. But in every state capital right through every year, the prevailing scarcity of hotel rooms puts a damper on the plans of thousands who, for business or other reasous, would be on the move. The cold shoulder given by hotels to people travelling from one state to another, or from coun dis- tricts into the capitals of their own states, is a pointer to what con. ditions will be like during the royal tour, Aggravation of the hotel prob. lem will arise from Australians crowding into state capitals to make sure of seeing the Queen and her husband. The Olympic games are in a dif- ferent Category. They will be con. centrated in and around Mel. bourne itself and the organizers hope that in addition to trainers and other accompanying visiting competitors, many overseas visit. ors will be attracted to Australia by the games. The influx of thousands of Aus. tralians from other states is taken for granted; as is their ability to dig in somewhere without official sponsoring. But there is no indica- ton of .any concerted attempt to provide accommodations . for any considerable number of non-com. peting visitors to the games. The Jengral building program in Australia is so far in arrears that it is now generally accepted that nothing could be done in time materially to increase hotel ae: commodation. Many of those planning to come for th: games will have to stay away, or face improvized billeting in suburban homes. But, critics say, if nothing can be done to put up more hotels, time altering the country's liquor laws. Under these, hotel bars close av would not appear an obstacle to 6 pm. in New South Wales and Victoria, In the other states they close at 10 p.m. .light clubs laws are only slightly more lenient. No liquor is sold on Sundays, Most hotels also close their din. ing facilities early. Some of the state premiers and overnment officials of the Aus- ralian states saw for the first time when they went to London for the Coronation what really goed hotels and service were like and how the liquor laws of other countries differ from those here. The critics hope that this exper. fence will persuade them to re- move such restrictions as the ear closing of bars, ease laws regulat: ing the sale of liquor with meals and remove the stipulations which make it necessary for night-club patrons to buy their liquor in ad- vance as a means of by-passing the restrictions. Canadian Firm Against U.S. Gas Coming To Ontario WASHINGTON (AP)--The fed- eral power commission Tuesday denied an application by Trans. Canada Pipe Lines for a rehearing of the order which authorized Ten. nessee Gas Transmission Company to export natural gas to Canada, Trans-Canada's request to argue orally its application for rehear. ing also was denied. The order to which Trans-Can- ada took exception authorized Ten- nessee Gas and Niagara Gas Transmission Ltd., Toronto, to ex- rt gas from the United States or ultimate consumption in the Torono area. Trans-Canada had intervened in the proceedings. The Canadian company is proposing to build a pipeline to ca natural gi from Alberta to eastern Can- a a, The commission said in denyin the two requests that they rais substantially the same issues pre- viously presented by Trans-Can- ada. Those issues were fully con- sidered in its Sept. 1 opinion, it ruled. Tourists Are Shown How Stocks Are Sold MONTREAL (CP)--The crowds passing dally rarely notice the pillared building housing the Mont. real stock exchange and the ad- joining building of the Canadian stock exchange (curb market). But more than 10,000 visitors have been 'guests' of the two exchanges dur. ing the last two years. A check of the "guest book" in which a signature is the only re- quirement for a visit to the gal- leries showed persons al re were more than 30 countries hd vi « isitors came from several South American countries, as well as many states in the United States, from evéry province of Can- ada. Countries of origin included Russia, China, Egypt, India, Iraq and Australia. INFORMATIVE PROJECT Most of the visitors, of course, are Canadians. The Montreal ex. changes during recemt years have endeavored to acquaint a growing number of people with the physi cal and technical operations in- volved in buying and selling stocks. Group tours now are arranged for such delegations as the staffs of numerous companies and groups of students from universities and high schools, Before these sched: from all |uled visits, t arts of the world had registered. | bo : Hustraed of laaigry oklets are usually, provided s institutions. The booklets give an idea of what questions may be usefully answered on various aspects of the whole intricate operations. The general public is welcomed to the galleries + overlooking the trading floors during trading hours, in the downtown business section on St. Francois Xavier street, a block west of Place d'Armes. Hunters Who Kill Men Will Lose Licenses FREDERICTON (CP) -- New Brunswick looks for one of its best deer-hunting seasons in years. Factors in the bright outlook = the lifting of the United States ban on meat shipments from Canada and a reported increase in - the deer population. i Practically no U.S, hunters came fo New Brunswick last year, Be- cause of the Saskatchewan foot- and-mouth outbreak they were not permitted to take their kill home with them. The fish and wild life service says deer are more plentiful in all parts of the province, thanks to last winter's mild weather. New Brunswick is one of the few areas on the continent where a hunter may kill two deer of either sex. The two-month season opens Oct. 1, This year the province has taken a new step aimed at reducing hunting accidents. In future a hunter who kills ér injures am- other person will lose his licence, perhaps for life.
