26. (AP) Officers of the United States Graves Registration Commission said sufficient evidence was found today at the scene of the wreckage of a shot-down American transport plane to determine that all five crew members had died in the crash. The plane was shot down Aug. 19 by two Yugoslav pursuit craft near Bled, in northwest Yugoslavia close to the Austrian frontier. Five Died In Crash The finding of four left feet and the evidence of part of another foot pointed almost indis-putedly to the fact that the five men perished in the flaming wreckage, the officers said.

They announced their conclusions after a re-examination of the scene of the crash and a study of a common grave in a ceme tery in the village of Koprivnik. Meanwhile the long journey home to their ultimate resting place in the United States began today for the five fliers. Re-examination of the crash" scene occurred as a solemn mili- tary procession wound a tortuous way through the rugged Julian Alps. United States authorities disclosed that the four flag-draped I coffins would be taken by the Yugoslav guard of honor to the Morgan Line, dividing the Anglo- American from the Yugoslav zone of tense Venezia Guilia. and i thence would begin the journey home for burial in the United States.

Bracken Asserts Govt. Floundering In Housing Plans WINNIPEG. Aug. 26 (CP) John Bracken, Progressive Con- servative leader, tonight charged the government with "indecision and bungling" in its policy of taxation of. co-operatives and said the four-year wheat agreement with Britain would have to be revised within two years.

In an address recorded for broadcast from a Winnipeg radio station, Mr. Bracken said the go vernment was "still floundering" in its housing plans and its pro gram in the production and labor fields had broken down completely. He declared the government's move to tax co-operatives was "almost valueless" as a taxation mea sure, "as a measure of justice to competing companies, it is decep tive; and as for its being fair le gislation, it is nothing but a sham. Sentenced To Die LONDON. Aug.

26 Reuters Eight defendants were sentenced to death in the trial of 164 members of the Polish underground terrorist organization N. S. Z. (People's Armed Forces) before the regional military court of Katowice, Poland, the Moscow radio reported today. One person received a life sentence and the remainder were sentenced to terms of from 10 to 15 years.

Tuesday Evening AT 8.30 O'CLOCK Lecture Hall of the National Museum time contracts come to an end Corporation Yards on the Ohio the parade, he remarked, compared with considerably higher estimates in both local papers. While he felt the press stories themselves were all right, Mr. Mcllraith said he had been startled to see some of the local headlines placed on the news stories. Could Reject Permits A. M.

Nicholson (CCF, Mackenzie) brought up the matter of Saturday's veterans housing parade to Parliament Hill. He thought that Mr. Mcllraith, as one of the Ottawa members and Mr. Howe's parliamentary assistant, should, perhaps, work in closer co-operation with civic authorities on housing questions. Reading excerpts from local press reports of the parade and subsequent comments from members of the Ottawa Board of Control, Mr.

Nicholson expressed his view that Mr. Howe had passed the buck to the municipal authorities. When informed that the city authorities could reject permits for theaters, bowling alleys and beer manufacturing additions, Mr. Nicholson wondered why the city authorities issued permits for such work when housing is so badly needed. "We should have some sense of priorities and values in these matters, particularly as to permits for breweries and distilleries," Mr.

Nicholson Observed, "when housing continues as Canada's No. 1 building problem." about the sale of the carriers only through chance. Living in the country he had found it very handy for hauling lumber andit "amused the children." Mr. Adamson thought War Assets and its agents were not advertising such articles widely e-nough. He said he bought the flying boots at a Toronto store and paid $12.50 for them.

DEPICTING THE GREAT ANNUAL MIGRATION OF THE ALASKA FUR SEAL HERD IN ITS JOURNEY AROUND THE PACIFIC Also Mr. Richard Finnie. noted Canadian Author and Explorer, who will introduce his Film: ALASKA HIGH WAY -Public Invited No Admission Charge Seal Migration Film Courtesy of Five Dutch Brides Arrive In Ottawa "Oh, Ire's a nice old chap." Given by a petite, blonde Dutch girl on the tracks outside the Union Station Monday evening, this was a description of the formidable Field Marshal Montgomery, the victor of El Alamein and the triumphant general, whose men blasted their way from the D-Day beaches to the VE-Day Baltic Sea. The girl Miss "Lucky" Beels of Haarlem, Holland, was acting as Interpreter for the Dutch portion of a contingement of war brides who were en route to the new Canadian homes after docking in Halifax aboard the Mauretania Saturday. Five Ottawa and district brides and their three children left the "bride special" and were reunited with their husbands.

Among them were Mrs. Winnifred Brunet, wife of R. R. Brunet, 97 St. Andrew street, and daughter, Patricia and Mrs.

Lynn Leach, wife of Vic Leach, 86 Fairmont avenue, and daughter, May. Miss Beels however, was the star attraction of the train to all those except the husbands. A member of the Dutch Red Cross, she is travelling across Canada to see how the Canadian government is transporting the fair citizens of Holland to their new homes. "It is the biggest exodus of Dutch girls in modern history," she explained, "and the people of Holland are naturally interested in their future. Right now in my country, the transportation of these girls gets top billing in our newspapers." Taught By Canadian "How did I learn to speak English? A Canadian taught me.

He even taught me some how do you say it of your colloquialisms," she confessed. "And my name Lucky? A Canadian gave that too. You see I am almost as Canadian as you are." The attractive blonde said that she was travelling as far as Winnipeg and then will return to Halifax, where she will go aboard the Letitia for her return journey to Holland. What about the Canadians who taught her English and gave her the nickname? "Oh, I forgot to tell you he's one person," she smiled. "I hope to see him before I return home." As for Field Marshal Montgom ery, she thought him a "fine chap.

He went all over the ship when w-e were at sea and talked to. all the babies." In reply to a question about Canada, she said "it's like Holland only spread out a little. I think the brides are very brave starting out to make a home in a country, the language of which most of them do not speak." Miss Beels told of one Dutch bride on the train, who was travelling through to meet her husband in Winnipeg. This woman spent three months in a German concentration camp, and had her name tatooed upon her arm by the Gestapo.

Sealskin FILM) 5 i imiiimiiiimiiimn; Dairy and ad dclZ 1 10 Steed Of pmwi THl RJEVUHCOMPAWY LUSTED Playgrounds In St. George's Ward Strongly Defended A letter from Aid Roy Donaldson which stated that the Sandy Hill playground was in a "state of abandonment" touched off a small explosion at the regular monthly meeting of the City Playgrounds Committee, held Monday night at the city hall.

Aid. Daniel McCann, chairman of the group, said in reply that the Sandy Hill playground had more than any of the others in the city. Aid. Donaldson, he added, was asking for things such as dressing rooms, showers, tennis courts and portable bleachers which the committee had already approved of. Work on the playground was being done at the present time, he stated.

There had he said, been more money spent in St. George's ward for playground facilities than in any other. Among the projects under way in the playground, added the chairman, was the renovation of a comfort station, the only one in the city with dressing rooms and showers. The group also carried a motion that the cost or excavating a swimming pool. 80 feet wide, 105 feet long and ranging in depth from 3'2 to 9V2 feet be deter mined.

The pool would be erected on the north side of Emmerson avenue in the West End. Proposals that work be done on the Lindenlea and New Edinburgh playgrounds were shelved pending the outcome of the West End project. It was agreed that in future skating rinks would open on December 1, rather than December 15th, and that during the summer the bathing beaches would be opened on a part-time basis on June 15. Playgrounds Superintendent A. J.

Dulude was chosen to go to the meeting of the Pembroke Recreation Associat ion to be held on September 4. Members were also informed that playgrounds will officially close on August 31. Finest Elk era A By J. A. Hume Citizen Parliamentary Writer Echoes of the Ottawa veterans' housing "march" on Parliament Hill Saturday afternoon reverberated for about ten minutes during considerations of emergency shelter administration Reconstruction Department estimates in the Commons Monday night.

George J. Mcllraith (Lib. Ottawa West), parliamentary assistant to Reconstruction Minister C. D. Howe, took occasion to characterize as "all nonsense" statements that Mr.

Howe had "passed the buck" to the municipality of Ottawa. Also, Mr. Mcllraith added, it was all nonsense for anyone to say that as MP for Ottawa West, he had not, at all times co-operated with Ottawa civic authorities on housing and other problems. Issue Building Permits Both Mr. Howe and Mr Mcllraith stressed that Ottawa city had full authority and responsibility in the matter of granting building permits for the construction of theaters, bowling alleys and additions to beer manufacturing plants in the city here.

Mr. Mcllraith, remarking that he knew several veterans personally who took part in Saturday's parade, admitted that many of them do find themselves under difficult circumstances. There were actually about 60 veterans in MP Finds Goods Of War Assets Are Satisfactory At least one member of parliament has sampled goods sold through War Assets Corporation and has found them eminently satisfactory. Rodney Adamson, Progressive Conservative member for York West, informed the House of Commons Monday night that he had purchased a universal carrier and a pair of airmen's boots. "You must have had influence." quipped Reconstruction Minister Howe when Mr.

Adamson explained that he had purchased the universal carrier for $200.
