ARTHUR WELSH Arthur WWII Welsh I, Hero Dies On Trip Colonel George Arthur Welsh, whose personal scroll records brilliant careers in both politics and war, died Tuesday at Hast- ings, Barbados, He was 68. He died of a heart attack while on vacation with his wife. The. former- Sunderland feed mill operator (the family busi- ness) served inthe Cabinets of three Ontario Premiers after his election to the Legislature in 1945 where he represented Muskoka-Ontario. He resigned. from the Cabi- net in January, 1955, (he was then provincial secretary) to become Sheriff and Registrar of Ontario County. In his first year at Queen's Park, Col. Welsh was*given the job of building up the province's tourist industry as the first full- time Minister avel Publicity. "He" 50, milés inspecting resort areas-- and built tourism into one of Ontario's leading industries. Col. Welsh took over the} portfolio in 1948 and a year later was appointed provincial secretary in Leslie Frost's cabi- net. Between 1952 and 1955, he was Chief Liquor Commissioner for Ontario. He resigned from both these latter posts in 1955 to return to Ontario County. Born in Sunderland, Col. Welsh attended the local public school, Lindsay Collegiate and the University of Toronto, where he was graduated from the Faculty of Education. He taught school briefly at Toron-|: to's Jarvis Collegiate before enlisting (in 1915) in the Royal Flying Corps as a third-class mechanic. He became an expert pilot and was awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre "'on the spot" 's King Albert er 'attacking three German planes: which were strafing the 's. chateau. He was. later King ss jawarded the French Croix de Guerre for being the sole sur- Planning and Development! vivor of his squadron. He Left Army Hospital ToShoot Down The 'Hun Early in 1918, after a visit to the hospital, Col. Welsh got back into action, shot down several (he would never say how many) enemy planes. He credited a 70- Yb. piece of armor plate, used as a seat in every plane he flew, with saving his life seven times. For 17 years after'the war he shunned the military, But in 1935, with Manchuria and Ethiopia erupting, the Colonel joined the militia. He spoke then of a premonition of "some- thing terrible coming to the world". In the Second World War, Col: Welsh developed techniques for using anti-tank weapons for street fighting. He received the Distinguished Service Order during the Sicilian Campaign and a bar to the DSO for the Italian Campaign. He went overseas with the Royal Canadian Artillery. He commanded the 14th Battery at Cobourg, which he took over- seas in 1940. He won his DSO at Leonforte by a daring series of ruses which resulted in the rescue of a trapped Canadian regiment. Fierce street-fighting in Ortona was the scene of his 'second great piece of strategy" when, under fire, he moved a dam- aged tank, shot out an enemy post -- allowing other Canadian tanks to move forward. It was here he got the bar to his decoration and the nickname Volkes. (He carried the name "Bunty" from _ Sunderland, attesting to his prowess at base- ball.) Early in 1944, Col. Welsh re- turned to Canada briefly to help publicize a Victory Loan Cam- paign. He did some "very fine promotion work" and Ontario County and Oshawa rolled up a $9,000,000 total, an amount said to "far exceed" any previous effort. He returned to Italy, only to have a leg shattered by a shell blast. Repatriated at the end of 1944 to recover from his wounds, The Tiger was outspoken over the lack of trained Canadian re- inforcements overseas. He found himself right ip the middle of the conscription issue. Interest in Ontario's "poten- jtially great" tourist industry |was only one reason Col. Welsh decided not to enter politics. Another was his desire to see the returning soldier get a good start in civilian life. From a dashing soldier, he became an efficient . administrator. Then, too, his work on the Victory Loan campaign had been noticed and George Drew was said to be anxious to get "this outspoken champion of Canada's fighting forces' into his Cab- inet. Col. Welsh is survived by his wife, the former Ruby Miller, and a son and daughter: Thomas, of Bancroft, and Mrs. Norman Wilson (Constance) of "Tiger", from General Chris Omemee.

BOBBY SHATTERS OWN RECORD By GERRY SUTTON Bobby Orr did it again! For the second time in two years, Orr has rewritten the record book in the OHA Junior 'A' League. Last night at the Civic Audi- torium, the Oshawa General star scored his 31st goal of the season against Toronto Marl- boros to establish a scoring record "for defencemen, The game ended in a 5-5 tie. BROKE OWN RECORD The 16-year-old Orr broke the same mark last year when he schedule. Jacques Laperriere, now with Montreal of the Na- tional Hotkey League, set the original mark of 29 in the 1961- 62 season while playing with the Junior Canadiens. It was a characteristic Orr drive from the blueline that screamed through a maze of players to catch the bottom right-hand corner of the net. WASN'T WORRIED In Orr, a quiet-spoken, first only a hint of which had been building up re- lentlessly as-he approached. the 30-goal summit. "IT wasn't. really worried," he confided after the game, "'if I didn't score tonight I'd still have seven more games left to hit the mark." However calm Orr may have been, his. goal triggered an ex plosive reaction from the sell- out crowd and teammates alike. He was given a standing ovation by the 3,803 fans while his mates emptied the bench and mobbed the popular youth. CITES TEAMMATES "I couldn't have done it with- out the help of my teammates," Orr remarked. "They're all a great bunch of guys." General Manager Lynn Pat- rick of the Boston Bruins, visit- ing in Victoria, B.C., received word of the goal immediate!y y after it happened from Wren Blair, the Generals' boss and Eastern Canada Scout of the |Bruins. First Live Game For OGH Patient For Katharine. Foreman, 32, one of 3,800 fans who saw Oshawa's Bobby Orr score his record breaking goal at the Civic Auditorium last night, the occasion was especially worth remember- ing. It was the first game she's ever seen live, and the first time she has been out of the Oshawa General Hospital in two years. Crippled by a bone disease when she was 26, Katharine became a devoted hockey fan, and Oshawa Generals supporter, through watching games religiously on tele- vision. The outing, planned in ad- vance for months, was or- ganized by nursing friends in the hospital. A fire de- partment ambulance picked her up at the OGH and took her to her first game on a stretcher. After the game, members of the Oshawa Generals paid a special visit to their strongest supporter, before she was taken back to _ward 1- E. Vatican Hit.

China Accuses Canada, India HONG KONG (Reuters)---The Peking People's Daily said to- day accused Canadian and Ind- ian delegates of the interna- tional control commission in Viet Nam of abetting American "acts of aggression. The newspaper said North Viet Nam's demand for the withdrawal of the ICC teams, made last weekend, was fully justified. The paper said there could be no justification for the teams to stay in North Viet Nam "since they are unable to see to it that the Geneva agreements are implemented and U.S. aggres- sion is stopped."

Rookie Cop Nabs Quartet In 'Monumental Bomb Plot NEW YORK (AP)--Raymond Wood, 31-year-old Negro who 10 months ago was just a rookie policeman, plunged coolly into a cloak-and-dagger role to un- mask a bizarre plot in which three men and a striking Cana- ian blonde from Montreal al- legedly planned to blow up the Statue of Liberty, Washington Monument and the Liberty Bell. Three American Negroes, de- scribed as pro-Castro and pro- Communist Chinese racial fa- natics, and Michelle Duclos, a Quebec separatist, were seized Tuesday in a lightning roundup by police and the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation to smash the. plot.
