The three-year- old child is one of twins. The second twin was killed early today in an accident on Highway 401 at Whitby that was described by veteran ambulance drivers as "the worst we have ever seen -- dead, dying and injured were all over the road". Three people, including the twin, died. Four people were hurt including the mother of the twins. In fair - condition the mother was grief-stricken in hospital as doctot's gently asked questions to see if there was any way to.see if the girl could be named. Killed in the crash were Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Hill, both about 60 years of age, from Sydney, Nova Scotia, and either Deborah Lyn or Wendy Lee, a daughter of Mrs. Barbara Parsons, 28, of 68 Munro Avenue, Toronto. In Oshawa General Hospital are Mrs. Parsons, her son Gordon, aged 6, one of the twins and Cameron Mec- Leod, 29, of North Bay who was driver of a truck which police believe crashed into the rear of a parked or slow- moving car containing the decimated party. : TWIN SERIOUS ¢ From the hospital this morning (and the both vehicles ended up near it was reported that the living twin | the fence, some 50 feet northwest was in poor condition and has bad | of the point of impact. head injuries; Mrs. Parsons wasi n| Police are not sure who was driv- fair condition 2 XTays Were ino the car eing taken to determine the extent Tan of her injuries; her son Gordon | CAR TOTAL WRECK was badly bruised, shocked and ap-!

LOUIS (AP)--"I first thought guarded secret until Friday night. I had a 'Good-time Charley," then I knew I had something worse," said the cab driver who tipped police to Carl Austin Hall. John Hager, 39, spent nearly two days driving for and drinking with . the man charged with the kidnap- slaying of six - year-old Bobby Greenlease of Kansas City. When Hager realized the man, known only to him as Steve, was "hot," he thought he had a bank robber. He informed police Lieut. Louis Shoulders who arrested Hall Tuesday night. Hager's identity was a closely- Hager will get $1,500 in rewards, a local official of the AFL Team- sters Union announced. Hager will get $500 from his firm, $500 from his teamsters' Local 405, and an- other $500 from Dave Beck, in- ternational president of the union. The cab driver told of meeting Hall in front of a downtown hotel, getting him a date, carrying two heavy suitcases--in which about half of the $600,000 Greenlease ransom money was found--at least five times, and finally became afraid because of Hall's actions. Monday afternoon "another cab Yugo-SlavArmy At Frontier By ALEX SINGLETON BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)-- President Tito sent his toughly- trained troops marching up to the Italian frontier today and served blunt notice that Yugoslavia would consider entry of Italian forces into zone A of the free territory of Trieste "an act of aggression." In a fiery speech at the south- ern Serbian textile city of Lesko- vac, Tito told a huge throng '"'we have decided to protect our rights in the spirit of the United Nations, which also include the right to use armed force." "The peoples of Yugoslavia in their demonstrations asked that our army be sent to zone B and I may declare that units of the Yugoslav EATING HABITS BEHIND TIMES While the U.S. has made big strides in dietetics, the eating habits of the average Ameri- can have made little progress, authorities believe.

Tito spoke just two days after Britain and the United States an- nounced their decision to withdraw their occupation troops from zone A and turn its administration over to Italy. The decision touched off a wave of angry protest demon- strations in Yugoslavia. They con- tinued today. Tito warned bluntly that Yugo- slavia could not accept the "uni- lateral act by the governments of the United States and Britain" as an accomplished fact. Under the Italian peace treaty of 1947, the free territory of Trieste was split into two zones. Zone A, including the strategic port city of Trieste, was placed under Anglo- American control. Zone B, largely vineyards and farmlands, was turned over to Yugoslav occupa- tion. Tito proposed today a new "solu- tion' for the dynamite-laden Trieste problem which has disrupted rela- tions between Yugoslavia and It- aly for the last seven years: "First of all, to leave this ques- '|tion for some time. Further, to create two auton omo us units, namely the zone B with the whole hinterland of Trieste, which is pre- dominantly inhabited by the Slo- vene people, as one autonomous unit under the sovereignty of Yugo- slavia for ten or more years. "Secondly, that Trieste (city) it- sel hecome a separate unit with aut. iomous rights under the sov- jereignty of Italy, with the provis- ion that neither side has the right to effect denationalization,"" mean- ing the forcible removal of minor- related.

He said he went back to Steve at' the tourist court where Hall told him he was an ex-convict and that insurance investigators were looking for him. ] NO PAPER MONDAY i As Monday, October 12, is being celebrated as Thanks- giving Day across Canada, no issue of The Times-Gazette will be published .

He finished third behind 41-year-old Odd Braut of Norway. Twenty c8fpetitors from 11 countries took part. Timbers' father Win, a former Canadian "champion and veteran competitor and judge, jumped on his son's tractor during the stubble plowing Thursday and turned it around on the headlands while Bob was examining some turned- over land on his half-acre plot. That is against the rules laid down by the world chamnionship plowing organization a nd young Timbers was docked five points. | more than the margin between champion and third place. The victory for Canada took | {Eccles and most veteran Plowmen | by surprise. "I'm flabbergasted. 1 Idon't deserve 'it," said Jim. "It| belongs' to that fellow back there, | Bob Timbers." After regaining his compradre. | Jim said he was through with ac- | tive competition and was only going to plow at home on his 300- acre farm five miles west of Brampton. His wife, who stood beside him as photographers' flash bulbs pop- ped, interjected: "If there are plowing matches, you can bet Jim will be there. You can't keep him at home when one is on." Eccles said that "at the rate I plowed Thursday in the stubble, it was a disgrace. The judges must have made a mistake." The $1,500 Golden Plow Trophy, presented to Eccles at the annual Ontario Plowmen's A ss o ciation banquet Fgiday night, is a replica of the Norfolk plow which was in common use in England during the 17th century and was the forerun- ner of the modern plow. All prize winners and foreign competitors were introduced at the banquet attended by 1,000 persons. Ontario Agriculture Minister F. S. Thomas presided. Timbers, Ontario champion for | the third time and a competitor at the international match for seven years, received the Silver Plow Trophy as the Canadian plowing king. Eccles has competed In several Unlucky Fluke Cost Man World's Plowing Title internationals, winning several 'pri- zes and trophies and a trip to Eur- : ope to represent Canada in vari- ous international competitions. Timbers, married with two young children, comes from a plowing family. His father, a competitor for years, was a judge in many of the international events this week. A 21-year-old brother Paul also has competed but has never won an Ontario title.
