Councillor Marler, however, countered that control should from within and not by mayors of other municipalities, no matter how capable they were.

Ottawa, August 10. CB Dr. Hugh Fleming, 72, youngest son of the late Sir Sandford Fleming who engineered the Canadian Pacific Railway, and a resident of Ottawa for many years, died today after a long illness at the home of his daughter, Lady Hardinge, in Kent, England, it was learned here. In the first great war he served 8 a Captain with R.C.A.M.C. hospital unit In France and in this war he entered a home defence unit in the Old Country.

In addition to his daughter. Lady Hardinge, he is survived by his widow, the former Ethel Gormully; an elder brother, Sandford Fleming of Arnprior, Ont; and two sisters Windows of the car were shattered and the interior was showered with fragments of glass. Escape was made by racing down side streets despite attempts to halt the car by human and other barricades thrown across the roadway. In some of the northern areas of the city trams were being held up by crowds and stoned, and in most sections tram and bus traffic was suspended. There was a portent of even greater trouble in the stoning of Moslem shops by Hindus in the south central part of Bombay.

Police fear communal riots between thene elements bloodiest of all and hardest to suppress Beyond these incidents there were no other reports of communal disturbances in Bombay, and the situation elsewhere in India seemed the same. One bit of whimsy developed hero overnight. A small boy came out on the street selling blackjacks, folic dirt not stop him. Police prevented attempts to set fire to the Bombay Gas Works and to the Central India railway station at Dadar, a communique announced. Elsewhere three police stations were set afire, and two were destroyed.

Telephone wires were cut and some postal boxes were removed. Some buses were halted by letting air from their tires. A municipal truck was overturned and set afire: and a street car was upset One person was killed and several were injured at the great textile centre of Ahmedabad when police fired on a crowd of students near Bujerat College.

Montreal, August 11th. 1942. Special Committee Accuses War Production Board of Doing Nothing to Speedup INTEGRATION IS NEEDED Urges Creation of Labor-Utilization Inspectors to Bridge Oap Washington, August 10. (f) A special House of Representatives committee reported to Congress today that the war production effort "continues to lag" and the recent realignment of the war production board "does nothing to correct this situation." "There has nowhere been evidenced any Intention on the part of the responsible officials, civilan or military, to regard it as their job to demand maximum output or to move heaven and earth to get it," commented the committee, headed by Representative John Tolan The report emphasized the necessity of integrating manpower mobilization with production mobilization and referred to "the increasing demand for compulsory powers" over labor as "one of the most damaging features of the present trend in manpower mobilization." "This seems to reflect a basic failure to understand the Job," the report continued. "Compulsion should not have to be used except as a last resort.

Its employment at an early date will certainly complicate rather than simplify the present shortcomings of the existing agencies." The committee urged creation of a group of officials to be known as Labor-Utilization Inspectors operating out of the regional offices of the War Manpower Commission in co-operation with regional offices of the WPB and labor-management committees in each plant and com munity. Fear Plant Slow Down Washington, August 10. Fears that "as many as 1,000" war plants might be forced to cut production this month and next for lack of materials were voiced by the Labor Policy Committee of the war production Board in a resolution adopted July 30, it was learned tonight. A WPB source who asked that his name be withheld said the resolution declared that several thousand men had been laid off in July by stoppages or production curtailments in more than 30 plants holding war contracts. The resolution, which was presented to WPB.

Chairman Donald M. Nelson, asked that greater unity and a better exchange of informa tion be set up among WPB, the armed services and other agencies so that shutdowns could be headed off. The labor policy committee, created to advise W.P.B.'s Labor Production Division, is composed of union representatives, three each from the A.F.L. and C.I.O. A W.P.B.

spokesman said he thought the 1,000 estimated was "considerably exaggerated." Increasing concern over the problem was indicated, however, by this spokesman's disclosure of a memorandum sent to W.P.B. by the army-navy munitions board, which requested that increased attention be given the threat of shutdowns caused by inadequate deliveries of materials. The text of the memorandum was not divulged. 6 DIE OVERSEAS, 2 HERE IN R.C.A.F. Two Listed Dead from Natural Causes in Canada One Badly Injured Overseas Ottawa, August 10.

I gave him about four or five seconds with my cannon and saw a white flame coming from the 190. By this time it was getting pretty hot, so we all broke off for home." Robb described how he attacked three FW's. They were to the left and above him. "I went in and gave one a two-second burst with both my cannon and my machine-guns," he said. "I closed in from 200 yards to about 15, and saw strikes all along the fuselage.

Then I saw another 190 diving on a Spit and I turned into him. I gave him a half-second burst with my machine-guns and then I noticed the rest of the lads were going home, so I followed." 5-MAN BODY URGED AS BUDGET BUREAU (Continued from Page 11.) believe council would be wasting its time." Councillor Levesque countered that the make-up of the bureau could be decided after the form had been spprcved. Opening yesterday's sitting. Councillor Asselin declared that "tn my mind, council should study tflis article with the greatest attention, for, without it, there is no possibility of putting into execution the financial part of the present bylaw which you adopted last week." The form of control before the councillors, he said, was quite a bit less stringent than that first asked by the creditors' representatives. He cited instances of control over municipal finances in Ontario and several American states, adding that "we are convinced that the Quebec Municipal Commission will cease to-supervise the City of Montreal by the end of 1943.

that is to say before the beginning of the fiscal term 1943-44, if you approve thi by-law." Councillor Asselin observed that, without the refunding plan, Montreal would have to increase its general realty tax this year by approximately 400 per cent, to pay past due indebtedness, while for the next nine years the increase required would range from 30 cents to $1.45 per $100 of valuation. Councillor Clinton Henderson stated that the executive committee was spresenting the best arrangement they had been able to arrive at with reasonable hope of that arrangement being accepted by the creditors. "The plan before us will reduce the total amount of the yearly instalments which previous adminis-trftions have contracted to pay and is calculated to lessen the total sum we pay and the sum which creditors will receive," he said FEARS LEGAL ACTION. In a broad way, should the plan be ignored by the creditors, Councillor Henderson noted, the latter, or some authority acting on their behalf, through legal action, would ultimately be placed in charge of the administration of the city with power to impose and collect such taxes "bts will discharge our indebtedness and only after that indebtedness has been paid would the city management revert to the taxpayers." "We are charged with a very responsible duty and on the wisdom of our decisions today depends the immediate future of our city," he said. Speaking on the proposed bureau of the budget, Mr.

Henderson said: "I believe the suggestion to appoint the director of departments to a seat on the Bureau of the Bucuzet is unwist. "We have in the present director of departments (Honore Parent, K.C., who is also the Quebec Municipal Commission's deputy administrator at City Hall) a civic employee of exceptional ability, training and experience and aptitutde for his present duties. His services, his knowledge, his experience, will be at the disposal of the Bureau at all times. To place him in an em-barassing position as an employee of the city, to expect him to sit, as a member of the bureau, in judgment on his own recommendations, would be unfair to him and to the city and to the bureau. His dualJ position, woujd be open to misconstruction by the council and by the citizens.

No man can serve tw masters no man should be asked to Judge his own Judgment. This, however. is only a detail, and I do not use it and it should not be used to delay or to defeat the greater value of the bureau itself." Councillor Henderson held that the proposed bureau was "the one redeeming feature in the entire plan that is before us today. We will have the direction of the finances of the city, the advice of a committee to guide us in financial matters. The creation of a Bureau of the Budget will place at the services of the City of Montreal a board of experts at a lesser cost than is paid by many industrial organizations for advisors in financial matters.

Councillor Dr. LeSage then spoke along the lines demonstrated by his later proposal. He would have considered, he said, that the chairman of the bureau would be the administration leader, and that the third member would be chosen from among council so that the latter could retain its theoretical majority. On top of that, the services of the director of departments and the finance director could be used in a consultative capacity as experts. Dr.

LeSage asked himself whether any civic employee, no matter how important, could be placed on the same footing as the council, whose employee, in effect, he was. Although granting them the highest integrity, the sneaker estimated it was inadvisable to extend an authority nearly dictatorial Dr. LeSage said that at the moment he was not prepared to introduce an amendment, but towards the end of the session he did so. Another suggestion came from Councillor Armand Mathieu though he did not make It in form of amendment. A democratic body the Montreal Metropolitan Commission already existed, he declared.

He would bring the City of Montreal under its supervision. However, instead of the metropolis being represented on that body by its six executive committeemen, as at present, he would have the chairman of the committee and five non-executive committeemen form Dart. He would also end the city's majority on the commission by providing for a voting representative of the creditors and one of the on Wednesday, at 2 p.m. LARKIN.

Freezes Production for Armed Forces Washington, August 10 OP) The United States government today froze the entire 1942 production cf dried apples, apricots, peaches, pears, prunes and grapes iri.n in the hands cf packers to make them available for the army, navy and lend-lease shipment. The freeze order issued by the war production board applied also to the carryover from the 1941 crop. Supplies not purchased by the government will be made available for civilians. WPB said. Ia addition, the entire 1942 crop of muscat, sultana, and Thompson seedles grapes were ordered diverted irta the production of raisins.

These California varieties are the principal ones from which raisins are made, and none of them may now be used for wine, or shipment a fresh fruit, uses which normally consume a large portion of the crop.

Twelve men, smothered under tons of glass and crumbled masonry, were entombed and believed dead in the ruins of a four-storey warehouse that collapsed without warning today. Mayor Alfred Loose of Wauwatosa said there 'was a chance of reaching the victims before morning if the remaining walls of the wrecked building did not cave in.

As darkness fell 10 hours after the tragedy workers- carefully dug into the wreckage lest fresh slides develop and trap the rescue crews. A long-armed drag link was employed to lift beer cases from the top of the 30-foot mound of debris. Powerful searchlights were used to illuminate the scen. Police Chief Louis Wrasse, of the suburban Wauwatosa police de partment, said the. men were buried under rubble dense enough to smother them, and that no cries for aid or other sounds had been heard since rescue squads went into action.

Six other men, trapped with those feared dead, were rescued almost immediately and escaped with minor injuries. Others of the 25-man crew working in the building when it collapsed said there was no warning. The men who were engulfed had been eating lunch just inside a loading door on the first floor. Rescue crews burrowed into the treacherous shifting mass immediately after the collapse, and officials said the work would continue all night if necessary. A steam shovel was pressed into service.

The Forsyth leather company leased the building to the Joseph Schlitz Brewery a week ago, according to Sol Abrams, the general manager. Abrams said that the building had been tested, and he had been assured it would carry double the load that was to be put in it. Nazi Occupation Cost Is Crushing to Norway (Copyright, 1942, Overseas News Agency, Inc.) London, August 10 (ONA) Germany's occupation of Norway has already cost the Norwegian people no less than $1,600,000,000, Norwegian circles here told the Overseas News Agency today. Despite the destruction caused during the Norwegian campaign, which wrecked Norwegian economy, and the loss of Norway's greatest national Income from shipping, the Norwegian banks and communities must supply almost unlimited sums for the needs of the occupation forces. These sums will finally have to be met by the Norwegian people, and already the finance department of the Oslo Quisling government Is discounting treasury bills to cover the expenses of the occupation.

The sums demanded are enormous for a country as small as Norway, and It is impossible to repay, by taxation and loans, the Bank of Norway's advances to the Germans. The situation Is further illustrated by the fact that while the whole Norwegian national debt on the eve of the war amounted to $300,000,000, the expenses of two years of German occupation total more than five times that sum.

The Hammann family of a Berlin suburb has by now had three sons killed in action on the eastern front, and the obituary is signed by the fourth and only remaining son, who is also in the East. The Berlin propaganda department is making fresh efforts to further restrain the insertion of obituaries which are judged "moral dampeners," especially when they come from families which have paid the price of war twice or more. Alleging paper shortage, the Rich'a newsnaners have had to limit their acceptances of these death notices' to twenty-five per day, in the case of those with the biggest circulation, and proportionately fewer in the case of the lessor Now there is talk of a further weeding out, aiming first at the curtailment of "repeaters."

Defenca Department sources said tonight there was no immediate indication that the Canadian Army would bar the wearing of peaked caps by officers below the rank of colonel, as has been done by the British Army Council, although that type of headgear is being the popular wedge cap.

Canadian Army regulations call for the issuance of peaked caps to only those of the rank of colonel or higher, but all other officers are permitted to wear them. Generally, however, the junior officers prefer the wedge cap. Weather Report Minimum and maximum temperatures: Min. Max.

(By Telephone to The New Stockholm, August 10. An av erage of one of every seven obituary notices now appearing in German newspapers on casualties in the East, concern men who have already had a father or a brother killed in the present war most of them in Russia. A large proportion of the male signatories of these death announcements give their address as in the field, "Somewhere in the East," and of those roughly one-third state that they are lying in a hospital for war wounded. As the German armies in Russia go ever father afield from their home bases the comparatively few death notices permitted for insertion in the Reich's newspapers reveal something of the cost of these so-called victories. Most of the obituaries concern April, May and June casualties only the most recent mention such places as Voronezh and Rostov.
