U.S. Plans To Continue GM Suit LOS ANGELES (AP)--Fed- eral authorities, losers in one skirmish of their anti-trust bat- tle against General Motors, pushed: ahead Friday on an- other front against the largest U.S. corporation. U.S. Judge Thurmond Clarke acquitted the automotive giant Thursday in a criminal suit that defendants claimed threat- ened the franchise system. The justice department con- tended General Motors illegally restrained trade by conspiring with dealers' associations to stop sale of Chevrolet cars to discount houses. The- same complaint, prose- cutors announced after acquit-) tal, will be pursued as a civil matter in a suit filed earlier, : as a parallel to the criminal j ; "in Wat CHURCH TO DEDICATE NEW AUDITORIUM In Washington, a House of Representatives . anti-trust sub- committee heard its chairman] 4 service of special signi-~ when the Presbytery of East of the interior of the church, Jen, pastor of the church, has say that a Canadian newsprint] ficance to, the members of 'Toronto of the Presbyterian get eon given leadership to the build- i 0 looking toward the chancel, Pt the congregation of St. Paul's Church in Canada will dedi- ing program Presbyterian Church will be cate the new church audit- taken during Sunday morn- ; ing's service.

The next year, Feeley had disclosed to Shrubb that he knew of the 1955 discussions, and the judge said -he could have learned of this only from Stringer. In 1958, the inspector had de- livered from Peterborough to the anti-gambling squad a brief outlining in detail how to raid the Ramsay Club at Niagara Falls, then a rival to a club in which McDermott and Feeley were interested.

He had commendation for the igrity of Shrubb and Insp. W. J. Hatch, now head of the anti-gambling squad, whom he said Stringer had tried to woo away from the Windsor area when Hatch was trying--with eventual success--to close the big Roseland gambling club there. The royal commission, which was formed in late 1961 on the heels of a tough legislature speech by Liberal leader John Wintermeyer alleging malad- ministration of charters by the provincial secretary's depart- ment and improper relation- ships involving some attorney- general's department officials, gave some substantiation to some allegations and rejected others. NO IMPROPER RELATIONS "There were not," Mr. Jus- tice Roach said, "any improper relationships between senior of- ficials of the legal staff of the attorney-general and any per- son or persons and, in partic- ular, there was no improper termination of any investiga- tion, no suppression of evidence and no payment of money." Dealing with a tangle scores of club charters stretch- ing back to 1950, Mr. Jy8tice Roach reported that: 1, There was evi of il- legal trafficking in seven--they either were sold or were put up for sale. 2, In some cases the provin- cial secretary's department did nothing about information that charters had been virtually abandoned. 3.

In some instances the de- partment was notified that false returns had been made to the government but did nothing about it. ACTED WITH DESPATCH However, the judge added that where eventually there were convictions and notice of them given by the police, the provincial secretary acted with "reasonable despatch" to start cancellation proceedings. There was little mention 'in the report of former attorney- general Kelso Roberts--a favor- ite opposition target concerning crime, who was made lands and forests minister late last year and who had stated he will stake his political career on the report. Mr. Justice Roach com- mented at one stage that op- jerators of pinball machines should have been prosecuted more vigorously by the attor- ney-general's department 1959. He did not uphold Mr. Winter. meyer's contention that Mr. Roberts had halted Const. Scott's undercover investigation when the police wanted to con- tinue it. He said Mr, Roberts had agreed to let it continue until a date set by OPP Com- missioner Clark. Another Progressive Conserv- ative politician--Arthur C, Jol- ley, MLA for Niagara Falls in 1958--was treated more roughly by Mr. Justice Roach as the result of signing testimonial let- ters for McDermott and Feeley and being on their telephoning list. SAYS NOT IMPRESSED "I was not very much im- pressed by Mr. Jolley's idea of the fitness of things," the jus- tice commented. "Indeed, I was not impressed by his evidence at all." Another Niagara Falls figure received an exoneration from the commissioner. McDermott has been quoted by Const. Scott as saying that Assistant Crown Attorney Don Scott was '"'a pal of ours." Mr. Justice Roach com- mented that McDermott's au- dacity in making that state- ment was "staggering." All evi- dence showed that official heat was on clubs in the Niagara Penjnsula. Likewise, there was "not a tittle of evidence" to back up a reported statement by Wright in 1960 that "the fix was on at Queen's Park." This was in reference to the McDermott- Feeley veterans' club at nearby Cooksville. Mr, Justice Roach also gave a clean bill of health to Deputy Attorney-General W. B. "Com- mon, who had been described by McDermott in a conversa- tion with Scott as getting "a lot of money" from the gam- blers. VICIOUS FALSEHOOD "There is not a tittle of evi- dence that any money was ever offered or received by Mr. Common, and that statement by McDermott was a vicious falsehood," ' the commissioner said. He also exonerated his pres- emt senior, Chief Justice /Dana Porter, of any interference in two incidents while the chief justice was a Progressive Con- servative cabinet minister. "KINDNESS BEYOND PRICE, YET WITHIN REACH OF ALL" GERROW FUNERAL CHAPEL 390 King W. 728-6226 A group of found-ins at the Cooksville Club had been inter- rogated before a magistrate at Brampton, and police evidence had suggested the proceedings were. dropped on instructions' from then Attorney - General Porter. Mr. Justice Roach found that the examining magistrate had ended the proceedings, for lack of evidence, before the attor- ney-general could have done anything. Mr, Justice Roach also found nothing "'reflecting adversely" on the provincial secretary's department in the fact that in 1949 Provincial Secretary Por- ter had his deputy examine an application for a charter for the Spadina Social and Card Club, which got the charter despite an unfavorable Toronto police report. CLUB LOST LICENCE But the commissioner said a later application by this club for permission to change its lo- cation should not have been granted by then secretary George Dunbar. The club sub- sequently lost its licence for in| gaming. The judge was critical, too, of Mackinnon Phillips, provin- cial secretary in 1949 and now legislature member for Grey North, for permitting the Club Macedonia in Toronto to change its address despite irregulari- ties. Despite a police report, the minister appeared to have ignored the facts. The club later lost its charter. The commissioner also re- viewed evidence that Dr. Phil- lips. in 1959 had ordered two Toronto Chinese clubs to be exempted from a_ regulatory provision banning gambling equipment from the premises of social clubs. This situation still existed at these two places. Surcharge Lift Favored By GM If the federal government lifts the 10 per cent surcharge on imported European automo- biles it could have a decided effect on the Canadian auto manufacturing industry, a Gen- eral Motors spokesman said to- day. Finance Minister Nowlan is reported to have stated during the weekend that he is planning an announcement on the subject within the next few days. "Canada is the only country I know of that has a' surcharge on imported cars,"' the spokes- man said, '"'and with our inter- national trade agreements, it seems unrealistic now to leave it on." ;: The surcharge was establish- ed to bring about a_ better trade-balance in Canada. GM imports such vehicles as Vaux- hall from Britain. "Our imports have been cut since the surcharge was insti- tuted," the company spokesman said. If the 10 per cent surcharge is dropped, it will mean a $100 to $200 cut in the price of Brit- ish, German and French manu- factured cars.

(CP) -- One September night in 1903 Fred LaRose saw a pair of fox eyes and started one of the most all- fired, get-rich-quick stampedes in history. That's he legend anyway. Cynics may doubt it happened just that way but the town of Cobalt is hete to prove that wha followed was the real thing. In 1903 Cobalt was a name- less railhead on the Ontario Northland Railway 90 miles north of North Bay. Fred LaRose was a steel. driving blacksmith and, so the story goes, when he saw the fox's eyes glinting at him he slung his hammer. The glint was part of the world's richest silver vein. The assays brought the pro. vincial geologist, Dr. W. G. Millet, high - stepping to the scene, which he promptly named Cobalt because of the presence of cobalt in the ore. From Matawa in the south came the Timmins ad Mc- Martin brothers and Dave Chunlap, who paid LaRose $30,- 000 for his claim. They were to emerge as th efirst great silver kings of the north, SPARKED RUSH Th efirst strikes sparked the treasure hunger of the 1905 elections.

Almost one and one - half hours behind Mr, Buxcey came his son Don, 25, and daughter, Patricia, 15, to finish fourth. These two walked together and finished together. The race, sponsored by a To- ronto radio station, was won by professional walker John Rowe, 34, of Toronto, in nine hours, 35 minutes. Arthur Keay, a re- tired Toronto detective, was second. HIGHWAY 11 USED Highway 11 was used as a race course.

Cobalt became a turmoil of tents, shacks, mines and rocks that by 1915 had a pop- ulation of 30,000 and had gouged out $300,000,000 of silver. Only the richest ores were crushed, Valuable tailings were dumped into Cobalt Lake by the 50 mines. 'ali the weekend occurred on high- ways.

The survey does not include known slayings or suicides, in- dustrial accidents or natural deaths. Ontario deaths: Barrie, to the station in mid- town Toronto. From his home today, Don Buxcey said his only complaint during the race was "'a terrific wind blowing." He and Patri- cia, who attends Port Perry High School, have a few blist- ers on their feet today, he said. Don had special words of praise for 68-year-old George Easton, of Agnes street, Osh- awa, who gave the family of walkers rubdowns. Buxcey Sen- jor went to work today, Pat- ricia went to school and Don will be at work tonight -- a tribute to Mr. Easton's ability.

Queen, Philip Make Visit To 'Leper Hunter' DARWIN (AP)--Queen Eliza- beth and Prince Philip made an unscheduled call today at the home here of Waipulsanya Wadjiri-Wadjiri, known among the natives over 100,000 square miles of Australia's far north as "the leper hunter." When the lode trailed off, Cobalt hit depression times and in the years between 1935 and 1946 no mines were worked. After 1950 the world demand for cobalt increased and four mines opened again to provide the steel - grey metal, used mainly by the metallurgical industry. Some cobalt is used in ce- ramics in the form of cobalt oxide and many of the high- temperature alloys developed in recent years for the aircraft industry contain cobalt. The town of Cobalt now is 60 years old and the home of some 2,070 persons. It cele- gg the anniversary Aug.
