The two accused were taken to No.

1 Police Station and booked on charges of theft from a parked auto and being in possession of stolen goods. Det. Sgts. Jerry Clarkin and Henry Harvey noticed two men at Dorchester and Mansfield streets who after being ordered to halt, started to flee. Det.

Sgt. Clarkin fired one shot in the air and one of the men, carrying a small radio, surrendered. The other made his escape. At police headquarters, Harry Gussman, 1642 Notre Dame street west, owner of the rifled auto, arrived to make a report, saw the radio and immediately identified it. He said that a suit of clothes was also missing.

Csts. James Grogan and Lionel Brault decided to return to the corner and search for the missing suit. Checking through the grounds of St. James Cathedral, Cst. Grogan came face to face with a man crouching in the bushes.

The suspect carried a suit of clothes under his arm. All cable stations and commercial wireless transmitters in Bogota were out of operation, Mr. Richard son said, and it was impossible to send messages. Mr. MacCormack said he was tuned to the frequency of an amateur station in Bogota when he heard the Canadian official go on the air.

Mr. Richardson's message was directed to an amateur radio station at Aubudon, N.J., and the Trade Commission asked the operator of that station to call C.B.C. in Montreal and supply the information regarding the welfare of Canadians, in Bogota. Hearing this, Mr. MacCormack called the C.B.C.

here and passed on the information from the trade commissioner. For some reason, the operator in Aubudon was unable to get through to Montreal. On receipt of Mr. MacCormack's mesage, C.B.C. established a listening watch on the Bogota frequency.

The trade commissioner was anxious that CBC should broadcast his message on its network programs to reassure Canadians with relatives in Bogota. In his short-wave message, Mr. Richardson explained that the trouble in Bogota was confined to business areas and government buildings in the centre of the city. All Canadians reached their homes before the rioting broke out, he said. The Tropical Oil Company, subsidiary of International Petroleum Company Limited, was undamaged, Mr.

Richardson added. Small Leaves Mission Board Rev. Aubrey Small has resigned as secretary of the Grand Ligne Mission board, the Canadian Baptist Mission to French-Canadians, it was announced today.

The other two families, those of Lionel Pierre and Baptiste Mau-ciri, were taken in by relatives Saturday. Workmen were engaged in excavating a basement for a new house next to the three-dwelling building when they saw cracks forming on the wall and hurriedly notified the occupants. The warning came in the nick of time, for just as the last of the 18 persons residing in the building vacated the premises, the structure crumbled. Police said that if the warning had been delayed for several minutes, the four, families would have been buried in the rubble.

The residents lost all their belongings with the exception of a SCOTT to the need for the inclusion of arts, crafts, music and drama in recreation programs throughout the country, and it fully endorsed and supported the Art Council's program.

Speaking at th- luncheon. Dr. Frederick W. Maroney, whom Dr. Lamb introduced as "my atomic bomb," told several humorous stories, and inte ersed them with serious advice.

To the students present' especially, he said: "Learn as though you were going to live for ever, and live as though you were going to die tomorrow." Dr. Maroney condemned the tendency of many physical education instructors to be merely "classroom custodians and conference leaders." He also warned them against pursuing exciting novelties in education while forgetting or neglecting the fundamentals of training for health. W. H.

Augustine of Canterbury, Notre Dame de Grace, yesterday morning. The. occasion was the semi-annual communion breakfast of the society. John L. O'Neil, president of the society, was in the chair, and the speaker was introduced by J.

Austin Murphy, K.C.. and thanked on behalf of the gathering by Col. F. X. Jennings.

Speaking on the subject of "Positive Catholicism," Mr. Justice Collins likened the present time to the days just prior to the destruction of the great Roman Empire by the Barbarians. While Christianity did not sink with the Roman Empire, he said, it was severely hurt; and while the church today faces many perils, and may be dangerously threatened, she is bound to rise again to become a greater power for good than ever before, if Chris tians everywhere are alive to the greatness and to the challenge of our times. There are some now who fear that Christianity will be destroyed by communism, the speaker said, but to believe that would be to lack faith in the Divinity of the Church. "We must desist from our negative, attitude and become posi-, tive Catholics, not only on Sundays but every day of the week," he said.

"We have been too much on the defensive we must now become aggressive in the sense of causing our influence to be felt, and by promoting charity, kindness and love among all men." Communism, Mr. Justice Collins said, breeds on misery and on the s' is of capitalism on the injustices of man to man. But communism, he went on to say, exerts an influence out of all proportion to the number of its members; it does this through indoctrination and by managing to get its adherents into positions of influence.

HARRISON By DAVID All previous records for attend ance, number and variety of subjects discussed and useful business done, were broken by the three-day convention of the Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, which ended at the Mount Royal Hotel on Saturday evening.

At the final meeting the executive committee unanimously resolved on action to secure the establishment in Canadian universities of a post-graduate course leading to a master's degree in physical education and recreation. In passing this resolution, the committee noted that there was a great need for specialists in several aspects of physical education and recreation and that no provision existed in Canada for training on the graduate level in this important field.
