"But if the United Nations is to be the kind of international body which all of us wish to see, namely one which guards the weak and guarantees their in- dependence and integrity, when they must not yield to the temp- tation to put public on the reasonable nations . . . that would be to deny the justice to HARRY KNIFFEN GM Begins 7300-Man Call-back General Motors of Canada at| Oshawa today began the call back of approximately 7,300 hourly rated people idled last week by material shortages re- sulting from strikes at supplier plants in the U.S. i Company offifials said that| 5,000 men would be called for Monday work and an additional 1,500 would be needed by Tues- day.

Only other surviving member of the family is a married daughter, Mrs. Murray Anthony of Simcoe "We'll probably never know exactly what caused the fire," said Chief Spain, head of the eight - man volunteer brigade that fought the blaze vainly. Joseph Roswell turned 51 to- day and the family had planned to celebrate the birthday, neigh- hors said. GIRL IN HOSPITAL Mary was reported to be in "only fair' condition in Simcoe Hospital, suffering from d Blaze "I looked out of the window but didn't see anything when I arrived home," he said. "I went downstairs and shined my shoes {and when I came up 1 saw a glow in the sky. I said to my wife, 'it looks like the town dump is putting on a show to- night' (Refuse is sometimes burned on the dump) "The glow grew brighter. I went outside and saw Mary run- ning up the road screaming." Kniffen said the girl was naked and burned about the head and shoulders. He hustled her into his car and drove to Port Dover police, who calléd the fire department while he took the girl to hospital. Kniffen has no telephone at his home. By the time the eight volun teer firemen reached the scene the house was well ablaze. Fire Chief Alec Spain sent a call for assistance to the fire department in Simcoe, seven miles to the northwest, while his men tried to rescue the occu. pants. The fire was not put out until about 5 a.m., and for several hours it was not known how many persons were trapped in- side. Chief Spain said the re. mains of all the victims were brought out shortly after the flames were doused. degree burns on her hands, arms, shoulders and right thigh. The blaze broke out after mid- night and levelled the 114-storey house on the Radical Road, four miles west of this Lake Erie community and bout 25 miles south of Brantford. The five-room Roswell house measured about 25 feet square. Chief Spain said the roof was burned away by the time his men arrived.

Bid For Support By Doc' Dymond Talks With NEW YORK (AP) -- Seven days and two meetings after the start of his talks with Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, State Secretary Dean Rusk does not know whether the Soviet gov. ernment has any intention of ne- gotiating a compromise settle- ment of the Berlin crisis. But he still hopes to find out and will make another attempt Saturday morning. Gromyko for his part appears to be playing the classic game of Soviet diplomacy. In private talks he is sticking to the hard line of Premier Khrushchev"s public statements for a change in the status of West Berlin. If he intends to give ground in or- der to get agreement on nego- tiations, he is expected to wait as long as possible while press- ing Rusk for all possible con- cessions. It now is apparent that both Rusk and Gromyko are as in- terested in sounding each other out on the results of possible ne- gotiations as they are in find. ing a formula to get negotiations started. c Ry trucked out from Port Dover. only restrained criticism. : i % _|plants would then be at work. 1 "Is there growing up a code jon of Secaption in now + eo} is 'expected that some 400] A neighbor, Harry Kniffen, i ional behavior in obs : at Kk vill be hired over|whose house is about 100 yards of internationa {with the U.S. and Britain about new workers will be to the Communists and another|" yo" eq a resumption | of Production schedules are in-|shortly after he arrived home [to the Western democracies?" over-all BS aan A creased. from work about 12:15 a.m. |Home asked. tions to continue the work in-| "One attitude to the bully be-|¢ .
