(CP Photo) Burly Canadain Wins Title Third Weight-Lifting Victory By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press St®f Writer VANCOUVER (CP)--Doug Hen- burn of Vancouver, burly, mous- tachioed weightlifter, won the heavyweight title early today and in the process set a near world record the press. His vietory meant the third for Canada in the weightlift- The eyclists claimed wide at- tention, too. A full-blown rumpus, out of a disqualification, roke loose at the cycling track the accompaniment of yelling and booing, and the manager of Australia's cycling team withdrew his men from the track. The long day and night of sports endeavor produced 15 gold medal- lists, bringing the total to 35, with 56. more still to be won this week. E d shot far into the lead e - unofficial point-standing, winning six championships--three in track and field, two in fencing and one in eycling. In addition to Canada, two other countries were double - winners. Australia, defending champion and in danger of losing the title won at Auckland four years ago, scored in track and field and in weight- lifting. Northern Ireland, without a winner until Tuesday, came u with champions in track and field and in bowling. Countries winning one gold medal were Southern Rhodesia, in bowl- ing; Scotland, in swimming; and South Africa, in track and field. ENGLAND IN LEAD The unofficial Joint standing to- doy showed Eng in the lead 202%, 108% i day. Australia had only 138. Can- ada, starting ay fourth Place, bounced into third over Africa with a total of 128. South Africa had 98%. England's big splurge in points came largely track and field. Athletes from the Old Country won three of the six titles at stake, finishing one-two-three in both the men's miles and the 880 yards. Records of the 1950 games were broken in five of the six events. Redheaded Chris Chataway, co- holder of the three-mile world rec- ord with Fred Green, also of Eng- land, ran away from Green on the last lap to win by 20 yards. Frank Sando of England was third, an- other two yards back. Chataway's time was 13:35.2, The old record for the games, 13:39.6 goes back fo 1938. The Chataway-Green world record is 13:32.2. The next three men--Nyandika Maiyoro of Kenya, Peter Driver of England, and Ed Warren of Aus- tralia -- also broke the Empire Games record. OUTLASTS MATE Derek Johnson of England out- lasted his teammate, Brian Hew- son to win the 880 yards by two yards. Ken Wilmhurst, England's all-round man won the hop, step and jump, the only final in which no record was set, and then went in the 440-yard hurdles and took sixth place. The hurdles winner was David Lean of Australia, who ran a 52.3 record in a heat Saturday and was oné-tenth of a second slower Tues: gay. The former Games record is Thelma Hopkins of Northern Ire- land won the high jump with a leap of five feet, six inches, break- ing the old five-three mark. She attempted a world record at five feet, 8% inches and failed. Stan du Plessis scored South Africa's only victory, winning the discus throw with a record heave of 169 feet, 7% inches. He beat the old mark by 13 feet, one-half inch. Roy Pella of Sudbury, Ont., was second, bettering the former record with 162 feet, six inches. Pella's seaond place was the best Canada's hopefuls could do in the all-round record-breaking display. SPOTTY RECORD Alice Whitty of Vancouver was third in the women's high jump, equalling the games record of five feet, three inches. Stan Raike of Toronto placed fourth in the discus WINS TITLE (Continued on Page Blow-Up Sparks B. E. Bike Race VANCOUVER (C) -- Cyril Peacock of England, one of the world's fastest men on a bicycle, won a gold medal championship Tuesday night in as big a blow-up as the British Empire Games have seen. Peacock captured the 1,000-metre match sprint when Australia disputed a disqualification against her top cyclist, 24-year-old Lionel Cox, and pulled her entire cye- % ling team from the Games officials." While 3,000-odd fans hooted, the Australians were ordered from the field by team manager Bill Young. Games officials said it was a "'fan- tastic development." It threw the 3,500-0dd spectators into a tizzy and broke up a hot contest be- tween England and Australia for the 1,000-metre gold medal. Officials said they had not seen anything like it since the Games started in 1930. The erowd cheered when the dis- qualification was announced. That' when Young dashed to the public address microphone and said: "l always thought there was §ood Spoitsiianship in Canada. ow I find there isn't." WITHDRAWAL CANCELLED He said Australia got a raw deal Monday and Tuesday nights. He later reported to general manager Jim Even of the Australian team. In a statement Eve said the coach "erred" in withdrawing the team. He said the Aussie cyclists - will compete in remaining events and added: _ "The jury of appeal is the final instrument in making decisions whether rightly or wrongly. In view of a decision being made by it upholding an appeal by an o toe Hation in final é o 1, metres . , . the acceptance of su Hoe Sion should have been hon- ored." : The move came on the second day of cycling after a weird as- sortment of decisions -- four dis- qualifications, meetings of a three- man jury of appeal, reinstatement of three counts and the rescinding of a rule that irked many team managers and eyclists. because of a "raw deal by The "Australians withdrew in a huff when officials announced Cox the winner of the first heat of a best-of-three series against the English champion and then dis- qualified him for alleged interfer- ence. NO REGRETS---YOUNG Young said in an interview: "We do not regret the action. We have been victimized. The sit- uation is deplorable." He was referring to his protest against a disqualification against Australia's Lindsay Cocks of Vic- toria in the eights finals of the 1,000-merte match sprint Monday. Cocks was accused of rough riding against Jim Swift of South Africa. The appeal was thrown out. When Young pulled Cox he also eliminated Dick Ploog of Australia from competing against South Af- rica's Tom Shardelou in a final heat to decide third place for the 1,000-metre sprint. Shardelou was awarded third place. There was no second spot because of Cox's dis- qualification. English team manager George Haine lodged the protest against Cox for 'squeezing out Peacock as they rounded the final turn and headed for the finish line." Peacock, 25, holder of the world's record for the 1,000-metre time trials, ran the race alone. He was cheered -- and booed by some -- as he crossed the finish line. He later 'mounted the rostrum to ac- cept the gold medal. Shardelou was there, too. * BRITON UNHAPPY Haine said it was '"'unfortunate BLOW-UP (Continued on Page » Burt Blasts Management Attitudes WINDSOR (CP)--George Burt, Canadian director of the United Automobile Workers (CIO-CCL), said in a statement Tuesday the efforts of organized m t to "hold the line" on wages and to take away the gains union la- bor has made in the last 10 years > be resisted to the fullest ex- ent, Mr. Burt said the 'stop the union" pattern which developed in negotiations and conciliation board proceedings affecting the UAW has applied to other CCL affiliates.

John Jisappeared into the east- ern sector of Berlin July 2. The West German government has taken the official position that he was kidnapped, probably while drugged, or lured into the Red zone. The East German radio an- nounced Tuesday night that Red state security police had rounded up a 'large number" of persons it said had been spying for the West German and American "sec- ret services." That broadcast did not mention John by name, but as head of the Bonn governm gt's internal security service he knew the identities of hundreds of per- sons sending information from East Germany to the West. The Soviet in previous broad- casts have claimed that John quit the West to work for German re- unification. Duke Sees B.E. Games In Vancouver Today By DAVE STOCKAND Canadian Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER (CP)--The Duke of Edinburgh's interests switched today from industry to athletics after a round-about swing north which signalled the start of pro- duction at the Kitimat aluminum development. In travelling from Victoria to Vancouver by way of Kitimat and Kemano the duke turned a royal spotlight on Canadian industrial growth. He strolled inside a hollowed- out mountain and watched the pouring of Kitimat's first alumi- num ingot. A scheduled helicopter flight didn't come off because of unsatisfactory weather. Now he adds new Jive to the British Empire Games, which will take up most of his time until he leaves Sunday morning on the Are- tic leg of his three-week tour. Instead of making the short hop from Vancouver island for the games, the duke travelled 400 miles up-coast, by plane and aboard the cruiser HMCS Ontario, to the Kemano power site. As Philip pulled away in the captain's barge; the Ontario Jave him his third 21-gun salute ce he went aboard Monday afternoon at Port Hardy on Vancouver island. Trade Minister Howe was at Ke: mano to greet him. Aluminum Company of Canada guides took the royal party through the access tunnel leading into the mountain powerhouse, storeys high. e washed-out helicopter flight prevented Philip from getting a complete picture of the 48-mile transmission line which feeds Kemano's power to a smelter at Kitimat. Only helicopters take the Kildala pass route. The duke got to Kitimat in an amphibian by an- other route. The Kitimat development covers 3,000 square miles. For the short time he had, the duke did quite well at covering the high spots. When Alcan's first ingot clat- tered down a slide near the duke he went over and examined it. Then he was presented with a miniature ingot." From Kitimat, the duke flew fo Sandspit in the Queen Charlotte island. and continued to Vancou- ver in the four-engined RCAF C-§ that is the official plane for the tour. Only helicopters and sea- planes can get into Kitimat. Firing Of Strikers Called "Flagrant Law Violation" LONDON, Ont. (CP)--The United Automobile Workers of America (CIO-CCL) Tuesday night asked Ontario Labor Minister Daley to appoint a commissioner to investi- gate the firing of 14 striking work- gs by Kelvinator of Canada Lim- ited. George Burt, Canadian director of the union, said after a general {union meeting he expects an an- swer from the minister today. About 250 strikers - attended the meeting to discuss the company's action. Friday the company mailed letters to the 14 workers and told them their services will no longer be required once the company re- starts production. WANTS PROTECTION : Mr. Burt described the action as "a flagrant violation of the law." He said the union is asking Mr. Daley to appoint a commissioner to see "the province of Ontario, and not Kelvinator management, interprets the law in this prov- ince and that the job rights of men be fully protected." Mr. Burt told the strikers their strike is legal despite company statements to the contrary. The strikers also heard a state- ment by A. J. Langdon, president of the Kelvinator credit union. He said the company had mailed holi- day cheques to its employees, but 10 of the 14 men discharged found outstanding loans from the credit union had been deducted. Mr. Langdon told the meeting he is resigning from the presi- dency of the credit union. He de- scribed the company's action as "hitting below the belt" and said he knew nothing of the move to deduct loans from holiday pay. GEORGE BURT George Specht, international UAW representative, said the strik- ers reaffirmed their decision not to go back to work until a new contract is signed which would re- instate the 14 discharged workers and guarantee continuation of sen- iority rights. . Company officials were not avail- able, for comment late Tuesday night.

Power Cut When Car Hits Pole A North Oshawa woman barely escaped serious injury last night, when her car careened off the Port Perry highway at the fifth conces- sion road and crashed a hydro pole, Mrs. Stella Makarchuk, of Sun- set Drive, crawled from the wreck- age of her late-model sedan suffer- ing only abrasions and shock. She said the vehicle went out of control when she swerved to avoid hitting a dog. Mrs. Makarchuk was taken to Oshawa General Hospital for treatment and later released. Police said the auto had left the road and begun to roll over when it struck the pole. Its roof was smashed to within a few inches of the front seat. Homes in the surrounding area were blacked out for two hours, as hydro servicegnen worked to re- pair the smashed pole and a num- r of broken wires. OPP Constable E, Richardson in- vestigated the accident. Airline Strike In Fifth Day By VERN HAUGLAND WASHINGTON (AP)--The larg- est United States airline--Ameri- can--entered its fifth day of strike- imposed idleness today. The big question at stake -- whether its pilots should or should not fly more than eight hour at 'a time-- seemed nowhere near a settlement. Other airlines hurried to fill the gap in air transport -- and to reap the profits. Trains and buses took some of the overflow. But travel space in many quarters was short today, and many travellers were inconvenienced if not actually stranded. Flights affected included the To- ronto-Buffalo-New York run. In New York, American Airlines filed in federal court a $1,250,000 breach of contract suit against the striking AFL Air Line Pilots As- sociation. C. R. Smith, American's presi- dent, told a press conference that the union "has deliberately and wilfully violated its contract, and the strike has seriously damaged the business and reputation of the company, has endangered the em- ployment and livelihood of the company's employees and will con- tinue to do so." Costly To Bring Duchess Here TORONTO (CP) -- The federal government will pay half the cost of bringing the Duchess of Kent and Princess Alexandra to Canada late this month to open the. Cana dian National Exhibition. But just how much this will cost the Dominion treasury remains somewhat in doubt. First published estimates ons the cost of the tour were $45,000 but Hiram McCallum, general mana- ger of the CNE, said Tuesday the igure was 'way out of line." He said he understood the earlier fig- ures were "drastically reduced." The tab for last year's visit of Field Marshal Montgomery to open the big show was $3,000. RENT HOTEL FLOOR But this year's visit involves, among other things, renting an en- tire floor of the Royal York Hotel here for the duchess, her daughter and a retinue including two ladies- in-waiting, an aide-de-camp, a sec- retary and three maids. The non-federal 50 per cent of the cost will be shared with the CNE by the Ontario hydro com- mission, whose Sir Adam Beck No. 2 jenerating station at Niagara Falls, Ont., will be opened by the duchess three days after she Lsunehes the exhibition here Aug. Living Cost Hike 0.1 'Sparked By Food Costs OTTAWA (CP) -- The consumer price index rose by one-tenth of a point in June to 116.1. It was the second consecutive monthly increase in living costs. The jump, however, was sharply below the increase of three-fifths of a point in May, which was the biggest rise in thirty months. The index is based on 1949 prices equaling 100. As in the previous month, the June advance was sparked by higher price for some foods, as well as rents and home-ownership costs, FARES HIGHER There were price advances in June for eggs, beef, lamb, fresh and canned fruits, potatoes, coal, cleaning supplies, paid household help and a numbed of hardware items. Rises also were noted for newspaper rates and local trans- portation fares. These advances generally over- balanced declines for pork, Lard, sugar and some fresh vegetables, as well as a few furniture items and appliances as well as nylon hosiery. Cost of living advances in both May and June have been recorded for some years. The combined May-June 1954 increase of seven- tenths of a point compared with a combined 1953 rise of a full point. Bureau of statistics officials said that the advent of summer seems to have some influence on increas- ing living costs. YEAR'S HIGHEST . The June index, at 116.2, is the highest since December, 1953. Since that time the cost-of-living yardstick had been shifting down- ward, until the May-June prices upset the trend. In June, the food sub-group rose by a tenth of a point to 112.1, bringing the sub-group level back to where it was last January. With both rents and home-owner- ship costs continuing to rise, the shelter column made an advance of one-fifth of a point to a new high of 126.6. The household operations column also rose by a tenth of a point to The clothing column declined by a tenth of a point to 109.6. Wholesale prices showed some strength in July. The industrial materials index, based on 1935-39 prices equalling 100, edged ahead to 223.7. on July 23 from 223.6 on June 25 i A more spectacular gain was noted for the Canadian farm prod. ucts index, based on 1935-39 prices, which rose to 2158 on July 23 from 205.5 on June 25. The rise was due mainly to a sharp seasonal in- crease in potatoes as fhe new crop reached the market. To Consolidate Air Defences WASHINGTON (AP) -- The scattered air defences of the United States will be placed un- der one central authority in Sep- ember with the establishment of the continental air defence com- mand, it was announced Tuesday.

They are asking federal action on "an emergency second in importance only to that of national defence." The 1,500 delegates to the bi- ennial Canadian Legion convention are considering a report presented of the legion's housing committee Tuesday. It demands an immediate pro- gram of low-rental housing by the federal 'government and retention of emergency housing constructed during the Second World War. But the legionnaires Tuesday turned dows a resolution to press for reimposition of federal rent sored by Ray Mann of Brantford, Ont., who said rents have reached "fantastic" levels since rent con- trols were lifted. Brig.-Gen. Alex Ross of Yorkton, Sask., a former Dominion presi- dent, opposed the resolution on the grounds that since the end of war- time emergency powers the fed- eral government has had no jurise diction to impose rent controls. The committee's report also called for a substantial reduction in the interest rate on National Housing Act loans, now 5% per cent, and a reduction from 5% per cent to 3% per cent in the mortgage rate under the new secs tion of the Veterans Land Act.
