Five young members of Britain's Seaforth Highlanders, now in action against Communist insurgents in Malaya, are looking for Canadian pen pals (girls preferred.) In a letter to Mayor Raymond Brunet, of Hull, the five young Highlanders (the oldest is 21, the youngest 19) write: "Now that we are back to civilization for a couple of months, we would like Suspect May Face Lineup By Staff Reporter PEMBROKE Preparations to form a police lineup for identification of a suspect in the as yet unsolved murder case of James Edwards, Pembroke taxi-driver are underway in Pembroke this morning, The Citizen learned, as the murder investigation, which broke into the open again last night, continued. Inspector Frank C. Kelly, Criminal Investigation Branch, Ontario Provincial Police, stated that it may be some days before the lineup is held due to some delays encountered in locating several persons who saw the man who left the murder car on the lonely e-Westmeath road, about nine miles from Pembroke, shortly after 11 o'clock on the night of March 14 and rode back to the outskirts of Pembroke on the back of the truck. Round Up Witnesses One witness, it was learned, is at present at the headwaters of the Black River, north of Pembroke, in the province of Quebec, where he is employed by the Pembroke Electric Light and was taken in there by airplane. A flight will probably be necessary to contact this man and bring him out.

A second man has gone into the bush to trap for the winter, police revealed and it will be necessary to locate this man and bring him out also before all preparations will have been made. In the meantime, questioning cf the as yet unidentified suspect in the case was continuing this morning but police still declined to reveal any details of his connection with the case, other than to confirm that the investigation was now concentrated on this man, a native of the Pembroke district. Pembroke citizens, this morning were recalling details of the mysterious slaying which took the life of James Edwards, a Pern broke taxi driver, who was found dead in his darkened cab on March 14. Edwards' death was caused by a bullet wound in his head and his body was found slumped over the front seat of his car, by another driver from the same firm a short time after he was shot. Intensive questioning of a number of witnesses in the weeks following the murder proved fruitless and several investigations since that date have also failed to turn up much more information.

Police, this morning, still declined to release any more information concerning the man they were questioning and would not say whether or not any arrest was contemplated. Pembroke residents were all talking about the new developments in the case this morning and although they lacked any information, speculation was again running high along the streets. Rumors galore circulated around Pembroke but in the absence of definite information, many are skeptical of the reports. More Taxes Ottawa Taxpayers paid 777.93 more into the city treasury this year than last according to figures released today by Tax Collector Claud Anderson. From Jan.

Joseph Ste.

Marie is counsel for the accused while the case is con ducted by Crown Attorney Avila Labelle, KC. A verdict is expected late this afternoon. Allowances From Page One In addition, more than 10,000 pupils are registered in Ottawa's 35 separate schools. Family allowances are payable for all of these children. "Our attendance officer is a councillor as well as enforcement officer," Dr.

Easson said. "He is very efficient and is most active in summer camps and boys' work. He knows the boys and they like him very much." Dr. Easson said there is a very close relationship between Ottawa teachers and pupils. "We have very efficient teachers," the chief inspector said.

"They do their best to make, school attractive to children. Education today is not like it Used to be when children just sat in school and listened to the teacher. Now we have more diversified education; the work-is more interesting; there is more for the child to do and it tends to keep him active and with something interesting to look forward to. 21,000 Suspended By The Canadian Press Family allowances of more than 21,000 children were suspended last year because of improper absence from school. The Federal health department in its 1947-48 annual report says that during the year 51,181 cases of improper absence from school were reported to family allowances regional offices.

The allowances were suspended in respect of 21,769 children. Subsequently, on resumption of school attendance by the children, some 8,104 allowances were re-instated. The allowance payments are conditional cn the child's attendance at school as required by the province in which he resides. Children under 16 but above, the compulsory school attendance age are not entitled to allowances if they are employed for wages. The report said that 10,636 complaints out cf the allowance payments were investigated during the year.

It added: "A review of the action taken indicates that, in approximately one-third of the cases, no change was found necessary; in other words the payee was considered a a suitable recipient of the allowances. In other cases, changes of payee were made, or a third-party administrator was used in a minority cf cases. "It is of interest to note that, in the matter of complaints of misuse of allowances, of 1,580 such cases reported, 1,046 were discovered on investigation to be unfounded, so that payment was 4 RECEIVES WINGS Flight Cadet Felton George Hammond, of Ironside, who today received his pilot's wings at the RCAF'a Flying Training School at Cen-tralia. -s-rcaf Photo To Remove 3 Buildings Three buildings have to come down before the much-mooted bridge across the Rideau Canal can be built, declared F. E.

Bron- son, chairman of the Federal District Commission, at a meeting today of the National Capital Planning Committee. Buildings are the Aylmer apart ments, the Truro building and the Bate building. With the premium on office space, it may take some time to move tenants out," said Mr. Bron- son. "It all adds up to slow progress." The building of a new polic station was a city matter, said Mr.

Bronson. Then he added, "we shall however be obliged to arrange for the acquisition of the jail yard. Fortunately or unfortunately we do not have to touch the courthouse." Mr. Bronson pointed out that the government had put aside in the National Capital fund the sum of $2,500,000, to be devoted towards the work of creating a National Capital. He also said the government was committed to pay the extra cost involved in creating -a National Capital, this sum was to be over and above what a normad city the size of Ottawa would take for improvements.

Not Holding Drawing Room At Opening By J. A. Hume Citizen Parliamentary Writer Due to a continuing emergency situation as to the securance of "Windsor" uniforms for cabinet ministers and appropriate evening gowns for the ladies, Their Excellencies the Governor-General and Viscountess Alexander of Tunis will not hold a drawing room here in connection with the opening of the fiftii session of the 20th Parliament around January 13 or 20, it was learned authoritatively today.

State Dinner It has not been finally decided as yet whether Their Excellencies will hold the customary state din ner at Goverment House at the time of the opening of $ie next session of Parliament. Less formal and elaborate dress is required for both gentlemen and ladies for this dinner function than for the drawing room ordinarily held in the Senate Chamber. Their Excellencies, who have been travelling around Canada in recetn months, will be in residence at Government House throughout December. They plan a quiet "family" Christmas at Rideau Hall.

Their two elder children. Rose and Shane, who are attending school in England will be with them for the festive season. A. A. Gibcau Dies In His 66th Year Alexandre Augustin Gibeau, a former CPR section man, died today at his residence, 67 Stirling avenue, following a long illness.

1 Hi 'it- By H. Reginald Hardy Citizen Parliamentary Writer Complaints by car operators generally and farmers in partic ular that they have been unable to obtain the ethylene-glycol base anti-freeze essential to the safe operation of their cars, trucks, tractors and other farm imple ments, were met by the state ment here today that the situa tion was -as least as good as it had been last winter. Officials of the import control division of the Department -of Trade and Commerce explained that the government was permitting the importation of glyco! this year to an amount equal to the dollar value of last year's imports. Slight Reduction Because the price of glycol is higher this year, however, this means a slight reduction in the amount of glycol imported. On the other this defic iency is being met by the pro duction of a Sarnia chemical plant which is now producing glycol in suobiaiiuai quaiiwues.

"Importations, plus the plant production will make the supply of glycol equivalent to that which reached the Canadian market last year," an import control official stated. Officials admitted, however. that a few kinks may have de veloped in the distribution stream "It is possible that some dealers have been selling glycol to non essential users rather than to essential users," an official said. Trio Arraigned On Theft Charge Charged with theft of an automobile, Ernest Currie, 39, of Des- chenes, Edward Mitchell, 24, no fixed address, and Patrick Dupont 26, of 27 Marshall street, were re manded in police court this morn ing for one week without plea or election. The motor car, the property of Melcher J.

Haffart, was recovered in suburban Toronto shortly after its owner had reported it missing A broadcast alarm was sent out ever the Ontario Provincial Police radio. Detectives Ed Logan and Wilfred Gavan brought the three men back to Ottawa' early this morning. Valued at $2,100, the car was undamaged other than, for the prying open of a window, and crossing of the ignition wires to permit starting without a key. CS From Page One terest in the Department of External Affairs although the range of interest extends to virtually all the specialties in the physi9al and social sciences. Dr.

Ault confined his visits to those universities in the northeastern United States but other examiners are now visiting universities in the mid-western and western areas. These visits, of course, are complementary to those now taking place in Canada. Canadian students attending American universities under the DVA benefit scheme evidenced a particular interest in Public Service employment since some of them are eligible for the ex-service preference in Civil Service employment. In some of the major American universities the number of Canadian students approached 150, so the Commission considers these attempts to redirect their steps to Canada as well worth the effort. The Commission hopes to expand the scheme next year, he said.

Butter From Page One It is expected there will be a falling off in butter prices if margarine becomes legal in Canada.

Currently butter is selling for around 64 cents a pound in the U.S. where margarine is legal compared to the Canadian ceiling price of 73 cents. In the U.S., margarine sells for prices ranging from 30 to 50 cents a pound, the variation depending on the color and brand. One dairy expert said that if margarine is legalized in Canada, it is sure to have an effect on the price of butter although he doubted whether it would do much to harm overall butter sales. He said that in the U.S., people who can afford it still buy butter and those who can't buy margarine.

Stocks On Hand According to the Dominion Bur eau of Statistics yesterday, stocks of creamery butter in nine major cities of Canada amounted to 27,705,000 pounds on December 1, compared to 40,128,000 pounds on the corresponding date a year ago. This year's figure included 2,660, 000 pounds of imported butter. It was pointed out that there may be substantial quantities of butter in rural creameries not re ported in these figures but they form a barometer of how the butter situation is shaping up. At present rate of consumption, it appears that a shortage is sure to materialize in the latter half of the winter unless any action such as further importation takes place This has been ruled out by the Eric W. Morse Director Of Canadian Clubs By The Canadian Press Eric W.

Morse of Ottawa has been appointed executive director of the Association of Canadian Clubs, Dr. H. L. Keenleyside, association president- announced today.

Mr. Morse is well known as a writer and commentator on international and Canadian affairs, and was formerly national secretary of the United Nations Association in Canada. Born in India, he came to Canada at an early age and received his education at Trinity College School, Port Hope, and Queen's University, Kingston.

Dr. F. S. Milliken will conduct the funeral service at 3 pjn. Interment will be in Beechwood NDHQ Adopts Air Tube Communication Defence Headquarters has installed an air tube system to expedite delivery of teletype messages from the tri-service signal office in Building to distribution centers in the four-storey and buildings that cover Cartier Square.

Messages that used to take from 10 minutes to half-an-hour to deliver by hand are now placed in a metal capsule and shot through the tubes to their destination in a matter of seconds. It is part of a plan to develop modern and efficient operation of the joint-signal service, defence spokesman told The Evening Citizen. Its economy pays for itself because fewer personnel are required to deliver messages. Faster distribution of messages speeds up work and hastens action on expected replies. Heretofore, mes sengers would take a batch of radio and teletype messages and trudge through the long rambling corridors to remote corners of the three buildings.

Now, messages travel to and from the signal office through tubes hung from the cor ridor ceilings. Palestine From Page One The amendment instructs the conciliation commission to be set up under that portion of the Bri tish resolution passed yesterday to take steps to assist the Jews and Arabs to settle all outstanding problems. The committee yesterday delet ed that part of the British proposal which would have instructed the commission to give equal weight to the BeYnadotte plan, proposed by the slain mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, and the partition plan passed by the U.N general assembly in' 1947. Rusk pointed out today that the adverse vote yesterday was given both by delegates who ob jected to the Bernadotte plan and those who objected to the 1947 partition scheme. "If the committee is unable to make boundary recommendations that areacceptable to the majority, then the question must be left to the conciliation commission," Rusk said.

The committee then knocked out the last important reference to the Bernadotte plan in the British resolution. It rejected a proposal directing the conciliators to follow Bernadotte 's recommendation that Arab Palestine be nn HJMI.1K.. ji.mi. i. iiiiniMi urn i i imm i ni mwrnmrmi mil inr i- i i -r 1 1 fl (S 'fas I (- i'd f's i 'V 1 jH'ii If Club at the Chateau Laurier when a cheque for a $1,000 was presented by Mr.
