J udge Among 14 Ontario Fatalities By THE CANADIAN PRESS Two automobiles met at sunset on the brow of a hill near Welland in a crash that killed three per- sons and produced probably the week-end's most spectacular mul tiple fatality in Eastern Canada. Altogether 'there were at least 20 violent deaths. : A Canadian Press compilation today showed 15 persons killed in traffic mishaps. One person was shot by police, one killed by a hunter, one scalded, one drowned and one died in a fall. Ontario listed 14 fatalities, Que- bec four, and Nova Scclia and New Brunswick one apiece. Killed in the Welland collision were Clifton Reid, 53, of Detroit, 'and Mre, Elsie Back, 55, and her mother Mrs. Kate Fessenden, 83, both of Delhi, Ont.

Norman Barber, 18, was killed in a two- car collision near Stayner. John Pepper, 22, of Merlin, was fatally injured when his car crashed into a ditch near Chatham, Ont. Stan- islaus Pucula, 63, was killed near London while attempting to flag a car after the auto in which he wag riding in ran out of gas. LAC.

The Canadian official explained today that emigrants with famil- ies always are asked to have their dependents medically examined whether they are going along or not. The aim, he said, is to avoid as far as possible cases where sickness might not, allow the fam- ilies to be rejoined in Canada.

Woman Tells Of Life In Siberia Camp BERLIN (Reuters) A Nor- wegian woman told today how she was forced to cut wood 10 hours a day, often in temperatures 50 degrees below zero, while serving in a Siberian forced-labor camp. Randi Samuelsen, 29, was the only woman in a group of seven Norwegian ex - prisoners handed over here Sunday to the Norwegian military mission by Soviet authori- ties. Miss Samuelsen said she was arrested by the Russians in May, 1945, while visiting her fiance's parents in Vienna. She was sen- tenced to 10 years' hard labor for alleged espionage. : She sometimes had to walk 12 miles a day to cut wood. If any of the 1,000-odd women at the camp failed to fulfil compulsory working quotas, they got no food.

Arrests already have been made and so-called "people's" trials started. In 1952 there was a national movement to eliminate the Wu Fan (five evils) from private owners-- such as tax evasion, bribery and fudging on contracts. In practice it turned out to be a terror cam- paign to collect extra money for Peiping through fines. It was called a "tiger hunt" and became so violent in the spring of 1952 that the Reds had to call it off because it was stopping produc- tion in private industry--still about half of all China's industry. Recently stories in Peiping prop- aganda have hinted that a new "tiger hunt" was about to start against backsliding private own- Terroist "Tigers" Again Roam China tax evasion.

BOUGHT LOW, SOLD HIGH In one of the first trials, a pri- vate factory manager in Mukden was charged with having bought raw materials too low and sold the finished product too high. He was given eight years' 'imprison- ment. The cry is on: "Get the criminal capitalists .who are harming the people." Why are the Communists reviv- ing this most-feared of all their so-called reforms? Nobody on the outside knows, but one guess is that the yield on farm taxes has fallen off and must be made up some place. There was some opinion by ob- servers here that the Communists intend to use their new crackdown as an excuse to take over addi- tional private industries. ers.

By STAN CARTER TOKYO (AP)--A young Ameri- can soldier today said he refused repatriation from a Communist prison 'camp so he could gather evidence to prove to the people at home that the Communists *'are rotten to the core."

Last Wednesday he left the com- pound north of Panmunjom, where the others are still awaiting ex- planations about why they should come home, and told the Indian guards he had changed his mind --that he wanted to be repatriated. NEVER BELIEVED REDS Dickenson, in a press conference today at Tokyo Army Hospital said he never believed in communism, though the other Americans in prison camp 5 at Pyoktong, North Korea, consideed"hi> ia" "progres- sive" who co-operated with the Chinese Reds. - He said he wanted to learn all he could about the Communists so he "Played Along As Red" To Get His Revenge could '"'get revenge for what they did to me and my buddies. "I just thought I would play along with them and get eyen with them. I didn't intend to go to China." Dickenson said the Communists promised him and the other 22 Americans that if they stayed be- {hind they would have "plenty of | women, a good home and could go | to school to tdke up any studies." The Reds also promised the men they could go to China or Russia or any Communist country, Dick- enson said. : RETURN AS MASTERS In about five years, he said the Communists told them, there would be a revolution in the United States. Then the men who re- mained behind now would return to the U.S. and '"'be the masters of our own country.' ' He said perhaps 10 of the 22 Americans now in Indian custody would decide to be repatriated "if they have proper explanations."
