He suggested that six strokes of the strap be maximum punish- ment for juveniles. He said it wasn't much use lecturing a young boy about suspended punishment when he knows nothing about it. BOY KNOWS WHY "If he is whipped he knows he is being punished for what he did. I am strongly in favor of whipping as a punishment for juveniles." Support for the strap also came from Professor G. E. Reaman, head of the English department of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph. He said it was "about time used in de common sense was with juveniles."

Rid For Overseas WASHINGTON (AP) -- Foreign aid director Harold Stassen has informed Congress it will be pos- sible to make "a considerable re- duction" in American military aid to Western Europe next year.

Lords group has | begin this afternoon in the upper | house. | The peers were marshalled by Lord Halifax, normally a true-blue Tory, who roposed the motion of criticism. The many Conservative notables who lined up with him included the Archbishop of Canter- bury. The 'horrible example" of Am- érican television has been one of the major arguments used against the government scheme. The cri- tics fear cial tel would lower the standard of TV taste because, they say, advertis- ers would pager to the public. RUN BY BBC At present, all British television is run on a single channel by the state-owned British Broadcasting Corporation. No commercials are used to finance the single service offered. : The Halifax motion made it clear that the rebel peers do not oppose some sort of alternative to the ! present system. But they do 8bjeet to the government plan, announced i recently, which sets up a new car- | poration, publicly owned but in competition with the BBC. This new organization would run TV sta- tions, renting TV time to a lim- ited number of private companies which would prepare programs and, sell advertising. | Another argumént advanced against the scheme is its. limited scope.

LOCAL SPIES GATHERED UP; TO APPEAR BEFORE McCARTHY Senator Joseph McCarthy, the virulent chairman of the un- American activities committee, is going to get some "Northern Spies" from this area -- even if Igor Gouzenko won't leave Canada for the desired interview. The Spies (from Canada) were rounded up by a group of admirers from Toronto -- the editorial staff of the Globe and Mali. Jack Hambleton, a sports-writer who lives at Pickering, thought it was time the senator got his teeth into some real spies, In Canadian style, without escorts of armed police and bat- teries of TV and movie cameras, the spies were arranged and put in oustody yesterday afternoon. They were imprisoned within wickerwork and sent by express to the Wisconsin legislator, The "spies" of course, were "Northern Spies", a delectable type of apple.

Bombs On The Border DUMFRIES, Scotland (AP) Saboteurs have made two at- tempts to blow up electricity lines linking Scotland and England, po- lice said Tuesday night. One charge of explosive blew the concrete base off a high ten- sion tower between Dumfries and Carlisle, but failed to interrupt the power supply. Another charge, un- exploded, was found near a tower on the Carnhill-Berwick road. A police spokesman said mem- bers of a Scottish nationalist grou who seek home rule for Scotlan were under suspicion.

Clearing Up Gouzenko Case OTTAWA (CP) -- The govern- ment today is expected to dump the Gouzenko affair into the lap of Igor Gouzenko. When the Commons meets at 2:3 pn, ST, the government is scheduled to give its reply to the second United States request that the U.S. Senate internal security sub - committee be permitted to question Gouzenko. The government also will make public a document in which a uestioned the loyalty of the late arry Dexter White to FBI di- rector J. Edgar Hoover in 1946. External Affairs Minister Pear son said Tuesday in New York he expects the Gouzenko affair to be cleared up to the satisfaction of both countries.

Ebbs on Sep- tember 24, was quashed this morning by Judge F. J. Mac- Rae. Fialka had been convicted on a charge of unlawful possession of liquor. The appeal ended in refusal of Crown Attorney Alex Hall to argue it any further after his attempts to present his case had been interrupted sev- eral times by Judge MacRae. Counsel for the appellant, Peter Slaght, QC, Toronto appeal" counsel, had first ad- dressed the court without interruption for some 45 min- utes.

Special Commissioner H. Carl Goldenberg of Montreal named the companies -- including the indus- try's "big four"--in a 247-page re- port following an 18-month investi- gation. The report was made public by Justice Minister Garson who said companies will be prosecuted in court. Named in the report are: Montreal and Lachute, Que., a 38- year-old company and subsidiary of the Bell Telephone Co. of Can-- ada Brockville, Onf., reported to have been controlled by Automatic Elec- tric Co. of Chicago at the time of inquiry, but now believed to he will announce later whether the have been purchased by British Northern Electric Co.

French Gov't Is Near Collapse PARIS (AP) -- French parlia- mentary deputies, in a new rebel- lion against the proposed European army, threatened the'life of Prem- ier Joseph Laniel's government to-- day, almost on the eve of the Ber- muda Big Three conference. The cabinet in a pre-dawn ses- sion authorized Laniel to demand a vote of confidence from the Na- tional Assembly. The government hoped, however, that the deputies would make this unnecessary by approving a Socialist resolution en- dorsing the army project in prin- ciple, but with certain reservations. Should this fail, the government planned to put forward its own motion on which it must resign if efeated. Despite serious splits in the chamber, Laniel's chances are boosted by two things: 1. Because of the numerous gov- ernment changes, the National As- sembly must resign and face new elections if Laniel falls. And of the present deputies want to be in the chamber to vote for a new national president at the end of the year. ; 2. Lack of a French premier to attend the Dec. 4 Big Three meet- ing with President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill would be a serious blow to French prestige. RESUME DEBATE The assembly was to resume de- bate today on the Socialist resolu- tion and 10 other motions made by various parties and deputies during the week-long foreign policy de- bate. There was no indication when, or if, the government would be forced to put in its own demand for endorsement. After it is intro- duced, 24 hours must elapse before a vote. Cabinet experts struggled over a draft for the confidence resolution they may put forward. In gen- eral, it is slated to pay lip service to the idea of European unity but e all to cautiously sidestep any support for the European army. Broke Into Dance Hall Given "Light" Three of the five young men who were convicted Monday of breaking into the Jubilee Pavilion and Brock Street public school in Whit- by on November 10 were sentenc- ed today to three months in county jail on the Oshawa breakin charge. A concurrent sentence of three iven for the school breakin. The three, each with form- er convictions including breaking and entering, car theft and theft were Gilbert Judd, 20, 184 King Street West, Ronald Watkinson, 19, Port Whitby, and Delbert Robson, 23, 16 Queen Street.

Wills was placed on $200 recog- nizance raised by his mother Mrs. Rose Wills. Ralph Anthony, Del- bert's older brother, raised $200 re-- cognizance for Anthony.

When they forced their way in, they found a "mickey in the back on a radio in the front hall. Two charges were laid but Failka was tried only on the first one. The second charge of having liquor in premises which had been Jeciared a public place, is still pending. Fialka's defence was that he did not know the liquor was in the ra- dio and his wife testified that she had placed it there. Mr. Slaght contended that the magistrate convicted on the strength of the second Lhaige which was not then before court. The two principal points of the appeal were: that in court hearing the Crown did not show, or Jrove that Fialka did not have a liquor permit nor was it proven that the liquor was in Fialka's pos- &-- A 4 session. No evidence was given by the Crown to that effect, Mr. Slagnt said. PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS The other four points of appeal were: (1) Magistrate F. S. bbs entirely omitted any reference to the defence in giving judgment; (2) mention of Fialka's previous con- victions should not have been -al- lowed in the evidence; (3) the guilt of the accused was related by the magistrate to the second charge, not then before the court; (4) two and one-half pages of cross - ex- amination were made by the Crowa of the accused on his record -- which was quite improper in the trial and prejudicial to the out- ci ome. "How could the magistrate he but be prejudiced Ra and 3 half pages on the record like that, said Mr. Slaght. Mr. Slaght cited the magistrate's judgment in which he referred to the fact that Fialka's house was a public place, but this was the sub- ject for the second charge, not thea before the court. JFIALKA (Continued on Page 8) Alexander Rumored Ready To Resign Post LONDON (CP)--Prime - Minister Churchill called an emergency cabinet meeting to consider revolts spreading within the ranks of his own Conservative party. Ministers hurried to 10 Downing street amid reports that Field Mar- shal Earl Alexander might resign as defence minister in the row over retirement pensions for First World War officers. The Liberal News Chronicle said in a front-page story that "unoffi- cial" reports are circulating that the former governor-general of Ca- nada ig threatening to resign "after & row in the cabinet." Press speculation was based at least in part on the choice of the Marquess of Salisbury to make known the government's decision on retirement pensions in the House of Lords. Until Tuesday night, Lord Alexander had an- swered questions on the subject in the Lords, and had prom ] statement this week. "UNPALATABLE" DECISION Lord Alexander's absence from the upper house was commented on by several newspapers. The independent Times said the d- cision om pensions was no doubt '"'unpalatable" to the defence min- ister. UN Is Stern To Israelis UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)-- ignoring. Israeli ap 4 eals, the nited Nations Security Council by a 90 vote Tuesday night rebuked the Jewish state for the killing of 53 Arabs in Jordan's Kibya vil- lage, and called on her to see that such actions do not happen again. The resolution--sponsored by the United States, Britain and France --brought protests from both Jor- dan and Israel. They do not belong to the cound and have no vote there. Israeli delegate Abba Eban charged the censure was loaded in favor of Jordan and warned that it might torpedo the direct Israeli- Jordan talks his government has demanded. Sources close to Jordan labelled the resolution a '"'milk-sop" which merely chided Israel and did noth- to punish harles Malik of Lebanon, only Arab member of the 1l-country Council, abstained on the vote Yor- [along with Russia. Malik explained include the reference to the to reporters later that he felt the resolution was not nearly strong enough and did not call for com- pensation to families of the Kibya victims, SOME CONSOLATION Israel derived some consolation, however, from the Big three's last-minute change in their resolu- tion to take note of Eban's invok- ing of article 12 of the Israel Jordan armistice agreement to summon both parties to obligatory peace talks. Eban made a last-ditch effort to stave off the censure vote. He ap- ealed to the council to think twice efore it voted a censure which (would "do nothing to advance the |cause of Middle East peace" and | merely took account of the "violent lagts of the immediate past." | Earlier Eban made a hurried {trip to Washington to plead with |State Secretary Dulles to have the iresolution toned down.
