Historians will find it difficult to describe and superficial teachers possibly 'will identify it with the China Wall, he said in an address prepared for delivery before the Canadian Club. But the Iron Curtain "is an ex- . pression which perfectly describ- ed the mentality of our times." "It is constituted by the harden- of the hearts of men and it falls between souls to separate men from one another. It is not a division between the East and West; it dos not really correspond to the political divisions of 'nations. It is like a theatre curtain which divides the spectators from the ac- tors, not because it {s opaque but simply because it is a visible sign of the difference of feeling which imates men. . . . ES "EARTHLY IDOLS" "On one side of the Irom @ur- s Youth tain God is denied completely, and on the other faith in God is no longer a living force.® The idea of God is kept to avoid the horrors of concentration camps and to per- mit men to enjoy the goods of this earth in the framework of ficti- tious liberties which democracy promises individuals." His Eminence said prayer is needed to "unite us to God" and to fortify men against their weak- Ses. "Instead of seeing us imbued with this spirit of prayer. Com- munists who see us discover in our hands earthly idols: Alcohol flows freely and in large quanti- ties. . . . Our young people seek pleasure and prefer the company of movie stars and beauty queens to the rough road which leads to the lofty summits of purity, honor and courage, "Raids in dormitories of wom- en's colleges, juvenile delinquency, sexual perversion, the most abject of crimes, are the weapons we ourselves place in the hands of our enemies." we were dumb enough to turn over the whole German submarine fleet to the Russians, I got a little Bot and stay hot for several min- "TO0 PANICKY" ABOUT REDS Asked about his controversial statement of a few weeks ago that he does not think the Russians have the capability of w sustained atomic war, the secretary said: oy did think we were getting ancky .

They found 40 behind bars as a result of week- end arrests, instead of the 90 or more usually booked. This was be- cause arrangements had been made to enable minor offenders to obtain bail at police stations.

Only one man was injured when his car was in collision with an- other and he fell out on to the road, skinning a knee. Seven of the 30 vehicles involved without colliding with other ve- hicles. One of two hydro poles hit was broken completely off. 6 Aldermen "Dou About Running Again af Jil ested in council work, Mr. Atter- sley is concluding his second term going strong. "Definitely. My name will be on the ballot," said Ald. Orville Rage, "I will be in the field again J Hayward Murdoch, one of the aldermen of longer experience, said today that he is not certain of what he will do. Some of his friends have suggested he could well contest the mayoralty. "I have no great inclination to run this year, chiefly because of the pressure of my own business," said Mr. Murdoch. 'However, I may be a candidate for council." "I am not saying yet what 1 will do," was the comment of Ald. John Dyer, whose voice is often heard around the council table in the role of a critic. Hesitating at first, Ald. Wesley Powers today made up his mind that "the old hat will be in the ring for another year. If anyone nomin- ates me!" Chairman of the finance commit- tee, Ald. Joseph Victor said, "I cannot say today just what I will do but when I make up my mind I will let you know." Last year Ald. Norman Down, only farmer on Oshawa city coun- cil, led the polls. He says he will make another bid this year. Mr. Down, a former member of East Whit; Township Council, has served a total of 17 or 18 years -- he can't be sure just how many terms.

DETROIT (AP)--Twenty dollars of the missing $308,000 Greenlease ransom money has appeared n Petoskey, Mich., according to copyrighted story by the Detroit Times today. The Times story said FBI agents have swarmed into Petoskey since last Tuesday when the $20 bill was discovered by Mrs. Henry J. Krauser, who operates a rooming house. Mrs. Krauser identified the money from a list circulated by a | the FBI to all operators of hotels, Ce | motels, rooming houses and mer- chants. NO ARRESTS YET The Times said the number of bills discovered since the FBI came on the scene is a closely- guarded secret, There have been no arrests in Michigan, First Signs of Ransom Come From Michigan The Times said there was evi- dence that a rural mail truck driver in Manton, Mich., received the $20 note and paid it to Mrs. Krauser, unaware of the money's background. Every operator of a business en- terprise in Michigan's northern sector and every bank has been provided with a list of serial num- rs from the unrecovered bills in the $600,000 paid by Robert C. Greenlease, Oct. 4, for the return of his son, Bobby, who was already dead. One speculation holds that the missing ransom came into Mich- igan through Chicago's underworld where the money may have been sold by professional 'fences' for 30 to 50 cents on the dollar. All of the missing $308,000 is in $10 and $20 bills. Soviet Leaders Can Bring Peace UN Told international security depends on a change of mind and attitude on the part of the E Folers of the Soviet Union," he said "The pre Tr safeguards for con- ducting disarmament can take I when the Iron Curtain no longer exists, so that we will know what they are doing as they can know what we are do The answer in every case lies with the Soviet Union." CAUSED RIOT: EDEN Provoked By Extremists LONDON (CP)--¥oreign Secretary Eden said today that last week's rioting in Trieste was "deliberately pro- voked and at least partly organized from outside." He said the youthful rioters were "organized by older men, among them members of the neo-Fascist party." Britain, he added, has demanded that Italy clamp down on the extremists responsible for the disorders. Eden told the House of Com- ¢ mons that the demonstrations, in which six persons were killed by police gunfire, 'seemed to be aimed at causing a breakdown of law and order and the disruption of the local security forces." "On Nov. 3 and 4 the Anglo- American allied military govern- ment turned back about 3,000 per- sons who attempted to enter Zone A from Italy in organized party," Eden said. "In spite of this, large numbers succeeded in entering or infiltrat- ing into the zone and took part in the riots. "The British goverment take a grave wlew of these events. "They sincerely deplore the loss of life, the injuries suffered and the destruction of property in Trieste. "But the sole responsibility for these tragic results must rest with those extremist elements who de- liberately provoked and organized these disorders," On Saturday, Eden told Italian ambassador Manlio Brosio that It- alian neo-Fascists were responsible for starting the riots. Brosio re- torted that 'excessive action' by police was responsible. Eden told the Commons today he thought the police had shown "admirable discipline and restraint in the face of extreme provoca- tion." He said that of the 162 persons EDEN (Continued on Page 2) GM Plant At Willow Run Catches Fire DETROIT (AP) -- A short-lived, but potentially dangerous, fire dis- Tupied operations at General Mot- dramatic Jansmigsion divi- bel unday ni The blaze bg out in the heat treat department of the division's recently-leased quarters in Kaiser Motor Corp.'s Willow Run plant.

Clad in his customary pajamas, the 73-year-old former premier told the court he would not appeal any sentence it might mete out. "I will not accept any forgive- ness, I will stay in this prison until I die. If you release me, I wi commit suicide as soon as I get hold of the means," he shouted. "I am not going to attend the coming sessions even if you cut loft my head," he declared at the climax of a heated argument with Gen. Nasrollah Moghbeli, chairman of the five-man tribunal. It was the second day of the trial for Mossadegh's life. As he did on the first day Mossadegh wept, panted, pounde the table an gest- iculate.

And at each, he used the old argument--the British were the cause of Iran's woes-- that once had brought him unpre- cedented power until his overthrow and subsequent arrest after a bloody Aug. 19 coup led by. sup- porters of the Shah. Moghbeli chided Mossadegh for 11 | dragging out his anti-British argu- ments at this time--as though he already were defending himself-- rather than sticking to the subject of the court's competence which was the first item of business. Under Iranian army law, the first part of the trial turns on the point . of the court's conipetence. If the court declares its own com- petence, the chief prosecutor can proceed. to read the indictment.
