Dutch Group Helps Chest Signed "The Dutch people of Oshawa' a contribution of $29.90 to the Community Chest, made up of quarters, dimes and nickels, was received this morning by Murray P. Johnston, chairman of the chest organization. This was a donation from a group of the Dutch-born citizens of Oshawa, who, at the time of the disastrous floods in Holland last February, banded themselves together to raise funds to be sent to their homeland to help relieve distress there. Finding their association with each other worthwhile, these people have met regularly each month gince then, in quarters provided at Simcoe Hall. At their monthly meeting held last night, they took up a collection for the Community Chest Fund, and the contribution of $29.90 was the result. i Mr. Johnston expressed gratifica- tion at this: indication of good citizenship on the part of these New Canadians from the Nether- lands.

"SHAMEFUL" BUS SERVICE ATTACKED BY ALDERMEN May End City Rent Control XN the 1954 council is in agree- ent with the 1958 council, rent controls in Oshawa will end next March. Making a report on the subject {| last night, Ald. Russell Humphreys :| said this will be the recommenda- tion. The comittee has letters from 15 or 16 municipalities where rent control has been scrapped, and in no instance have there been ser- ious complaints. In Oshawa, there are 9,000 homes :| owned by their occupants and only £12,200 occupied by tenants. More- over, all houses built since January, 1947, are automatically decontrolled and there is not much complaint heard about those. Cost of retaining and administering the rent control | system would be some $20,000, Ald. it | Humphreys said. Other large centres are dropping it, and in view of all the circumstances, Oshawa should toe.

(After lengthy ne- gotiations last week, Sklar's turn- ed down the city's price of $1,000 per acre for a 13.5 acre industrial site, saying that $533 was their firm and final offer. This thriv- ing local furniture company de- sires to build a $350,000 plant im- mediately south of the CNR on Favewell Avenue. The land is said to be well worth $2,500 an acre). Three motions were dealt with by council --none -of which con- tributed much to the issue. All through the discussion it appear- ed that council is exceedingly an- xious that Sklar's do not carry out their intention to seek a new site outside of Oshawa. The first motion was to appoint a special committee to reopen ne- gotiations. This was lost on a 6-6 count. The second motion was to rescind the motion of last meeting which placed a $1,000 price tag on the land. On a recorded vote, this motion carried with only Ald. Mur- {doch, Humphreys and Dyer oppos- |ing. The third vote was that the | matter be turned over to the Prop- erty and Industrial Committees to reopen negotiations. This was lost. {WELCOME RE-OPENING Ald.

And after discussing the subject in this vein for about 45 minutes, the matter rests. Search Moves WHITBY -- So far all efforts have failed to trace the plane carrying Flying Officer R. W. Rus- sell, Gray Avenue, Toronto, which disappeared over Lake Ontario, supposedly near Whitby, on Sun- day afgernoon. esterday afternoon a Harvard iplane from the Downsview RCAF | base, north of Toronto, conducted |a search over the lake in the vic- inity of Whitby and Oshawa. The pilot landed at the Oshawa airport and reported he believed he had sighted a yellow '"Mae West life- boat floating in the lake about two miles east of Whitby. Sgt. Dymond and Constable 8. No Sign of Missing Jet: | From Whitby Pointon of the Whitby detachment of the OPP put out from Whitby Harbor in the tug Alca owned by the Mannix Construction Co. They searched the lake without result. On their return they expressed the belief that the object sighted by the pilot was a buoy in the wicinity of Corbett's Point. Jack Watson, Whitby harbor- master, reported this morning that there was no search activity around the harbor there. He said no planes were sighted in the area this morn- ing. amore circulating at Whitby said the search area had moved to another section of the lake. 'HIT AT McCARTHY WASHINGTON (AP)--State Sec- | retary Dulles, in an evident retort |to Senator Joseph McCarthy, said today that President Eisenhower and he '""do not propose to throw away' the assets of Allied co- operation "by blustering and dom- ineering methods. Dulles did not mention McCarthy by name but he said he was com- menting on widely publicized criti- cism to the effect that the United States speaks in too kindly a man- ner to its allies and has sent them "perfurmed notes instead of usin, threats and intimidation to compe them to do our bidding." MeCarthy used the words "'per- fumed notes' in criticizing admin- istration foreign policy in his radio- TV address of Nov. 25. In a press conference statement, Dulles said the administration re- jected "arrogant" methods and the use of demands which the United States would turn down if such demands were made upon it. | He said bases shared with allies | make possible the peace-keeping Dulles Replies To The "Perfumed" Lie threat of atomic retaliation by the United States "against the vitals of Russia." The secretary of state said he spoke with the support of the presi- dent who was aware of the state- ment he made. Dulles had a conference with the president at the White House only an hour or so before his meet- ing with reporters, SITTING DUCKS When talking of U. 8. bases abroad, Dulles said that without them and without Allied warnin, systems, such centres as Detroit Cleveland, Chicago and Milwaukee would be "sitting ducks for atomic bombs' in event of war. On another aspect of McCarthy's speech, Dulles announced that career diplomat John Paton Davies whose continued employment under the Eisenhower administra- tion has been attacked by Me- |Carthy, is undergoing a new se- curity investigation which will be completed in about a month. By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE ST. LOUIS (AP)--Safety belts ip automobiles could save thousands American Medical Association ex- hibit suggests.

SAIGON (AP)--Bao Dai, Viet Nam chief of state, turned a cold shoulder today to a purported offer by Communist leader Ho Chi Minh to negotiate for an armistice in the seven-year-old Indo-China war. A statement from Bao Dai also appeared to criticize the French, saying Ho's armistice proposals seemed to be in reply to feelers "that weren't formulated by Viet Nam officials." The ex-emperor said the only way to end the war is to inflict a '| decisive military defeat on Ho's Communist-led Vietminh rebels. The Stockholm newspaper Ex- pressen published "a cable Sunday in which the Vietminh chief was quoted as saying he would be ready to meet an armistice proposal from the French.

The two chatted for 30 minutes at 10 Downing St., Churchill's of- ficial residence. Then Churchill, who was 79 Monday, saw the duke out to his car. The duke wished Churchill bon voyage on his trip to Bermuda for the Big Three talks. The duke and duchess arrived here unexpectedly Monday for a short visit. Labor Warned |0f High Pricing | | { ST.

Clifford Harman said he had complaints about noon buses from General Motors to Harmony being taken off. Md.

Ford Claiming Strike Damages WINDSOR, Ont. (CP) -- Claims totalling $905,101 are involved in legal actions launched at Toronto today on behalf of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, against 12 insurance companies. They arise out of a strike in De- cember, 1951, when strikers forced a shutdown of the company's power house, which provides es- sential services, including heat, to Ford of Canada's plants and of- fices in Windsor. All Ford's build- ings were left without heat during a period of cold weather and ex- tensive: damage was done. Two actions have been instituted against each of the 12 insurance companies with which Ford of Can- ada is insured, making 24 actions in all. One set of actions claims ind .mnity for property damage loss, totalling $217,478, and the other for loss resulting from the interruption' or interference with the company's business amount: ing to $687,623. he actions hinge mainly upon the interpretation of the "riot" | clauses of the policies. Some time is expected to elapse before all the pleadings are filed and the actions come to trial in the Supreme Court of Ontario, Ontario, probably at Toronto.

The Gothic was heading through a light swell, one day out of Pan- ama and heading for the next stage of the royal tour in the South Pacific. The order, "Stop engines" sounded and the Queen climbed down into a lowered launch. With the Duke of Edinburgh she crossed over to the escorting cruiser Shef- field and climbed up the side. After a ceremonious reception | aboard the warship, the Queen re- viewed the ship's company and toured the ship. She was presented with a cake specially baked in the galley.

To Lay Cable Under Ocean MONTREAL (CP)--Canada, the United States and Britain have signed an agreement providing for the construction of the first trans- atlantic telephone cable system, it was announced today. The new system will eventually replace the transatlantic radio- {telephone circuits now in use. The announcement was made simultaneously in Montreal, Lon- {don and New York on behalf of the Canadian Overseas Telecom- | munication Corporation, the Brit- ish post office and the American Telephone and Telegraph Com- pany. The announcement said the con- struction and installation of the telephone cable system is consid- ered 'to be of equal or perhaps of . even greater importance and significance than was the laying of the original transatlantic cable in the middle of the 19th century." No estimate of the cost of the project was given.
