Police state that the thefts are reported to have covered a period of months.

Power Plan Delayed By The Canadian Press TORONTO Toronto's longstanding dream of putting all power lines underground is being delayed. Hydro commission officials said their repair crews are too busy working on the city's new subway and the province- wide frequencyconversion scheme.

The original plan was approved three years ago and it was estimated it would cost $26,000,000. Hydro Chairman's Wife Helps Police By The Canadian Press TORONTO Mrs. Robert H. Saunders, wife of the chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, yesterday helped police thwart what might have been a break-in. From her living room, she noticed a prowler across the street and called police.

They arrested Clarence McRitchie, 33, and charged him with possession of burglar tools. Japs From Page One "We would have a pool of at least a half-million trained men to draw from," he observed. Under the Magnuson proposal, Japanese who enlisted would be paid up to half the rate of American troops. They would not be made eligible either for American citizenship or for veterans benefits. The Washington senator said Chairman Millard Tydings (Dem.

Md.) had promised an early hearing by the senate, armed services committee proposal, with the observation that the group would explore at the same time the possibility of making the same sort of opportunity available to German war veterans. Senator Lodge, a foreign relations committee member, told a reporter he doesn't like the idea of creating a foreign legion within the American armed forces. "The Communists would say that we were hiring mercenaries to fight our battles," he said. "It would be much better if some could be found to form an international police force into and Japanese units could be integrated."

London Letter Delivered Here In Record Time Air mail letter service between London, England and Ottawa is almost as fast as regular mail service between Ottawa and Montreal. To prove this in no uncertain terms R. M. Allan, of Allan's Travel Service, brought The Citizen the proof on Friday. In his possession was an air mail letter from London, bearing the postmark: "London.

E.C. 1.30 p.m., 3 Aug." It was brought into this office at 4 p.m. Friday. The letter had been delivered to Mr. Allan at 2.30 p.m.

By Ottawa time the letter was posted at 7.30 p.m. Thursday night, the six-hour difference in time being considered. The letter took 25 hours, minus the six hours in time, or 19 hours, Allan difference, in Ottawa. The letter therefore speeded here at a rate of over 200 miles an hour. Many At Funeral Of W.

Here are some of the industrial designs registered in this week's issue: a French poodle "having a luxurious life-like coat of fringe or yarn and standing, tail erect, head cocked quizzically on one side, legs and tail being of pink Fringe a lady's expansion bracelet, a new doll, mechanical golf cups, nutcrackers, a new bus heating system. In the copyright section is the title of the New Yorker magazine, a song called "'Housewives' Holiday," another called "Gonna Shake Hands With Mother Over There," and still another called "When Ukulele Uke Plays the Uke." Listed also are book titles "Fish ing in Dingbat Land," "Easter in Dingbat Land," "Springtime in Dingbat Land," "St.

Then there is a literary work called "Murder Makes the Mare Go," another under the title of "Your Personality," and still another called "Sleep Baby Sleep." There is the Edmonton City Telephone Directory cover, the Ottawa directory cover and "an unpublished literary work called 'The Canadian Fire Prevention Association'." Most of the production is taken up, however, with more intricate inventions on which the inventor is seeking a patent. There are new-type turf spraying units, winches, boat loading devices, thief- proof covers for taps, fifth assemblies, oil burners, television receivers, calculating machines, to mention only a handful. Some of the inventions represent lifetimes work. Others are the result few waking minutes of sleeplessness.

But without exception, the person seeking the patent or copyright hopes he or she will make a million. Few ever do. Tex Benecke Band At Exhibition Tex Benecke and his "music in the Miller mood" will be a feature attraction of the 0 Central Canada Exhibition, Aug. 21-26, directors of the CCEA announced today. For the dancing pleasure of Exhibition patrons, Benecke will play nightly at the special pavilion adjacent to the Rideau Canal at the east end of Lansdowne Park.

In addition, there will be concerts from in five the to bandshell p.m. preatured singers with the band are Gregg Lawrence, Helen Lee and Buddy Yeager. Gregg From Page One If not on Monday, then in the near future, Prime Minister St. Laurent will announce the date of three necessery by-elections, likely for early October. The three present House of Commons vacancies are Welland, due to Mr.

Mitchell's death; Rimouski, due to Mr. Belzile's death; and Joliette-L'Assomption-Montcalm, due to the resignation on June 23 of Georges Emile Lapalme, to devote his full time to his new post of Quebec Liberal leader. Hon. Gaspard Fauteux, MP for St. Mary-Montreal, Commons speaker in the last Parliament, may be announced as new lieutenant-governor of Quebec.

Monday's cabinet meeting will be an important one since the government will be giving further serious consideration to the combined Korean and international situation and Canada's stepped-up defence preparedness program. The probability is that Parliament will be called back some time this fall. By the reported Gregg-Lapointe cabinet shift, Prime Minister St. Laurent would avoid any additional by-election. The transfer would even up cabinet representation as between Ontario and Quebec, at six ministers each.

In recent years, Ontario has had seven ministers, compared with six for Quebec. In the current 21st Parlament, elected on June 27, 1949, returned 57 Liberal Ontario, House of Commons, compared with 67 Liberal MPs from Quebec. Mr. Gregg's outstanding qualifications for the difficult post of labor minister are considered to be his fine administrative capacities and his demonstrated talents as a conciliator. Mr.

Gregg, a graduate of Acadia and Dalhouse Universities, has a brilliant military record in both the First and Second World Wars.

Relief From Page One years the 215 families, approximately 1,000 people, have had to depend on wells for their water supply. "I can sympathize with the lady in Hull, Mr. Stockwell said," but we have, as the result of the annexation of large portions of Nepean and Gloucester townships, many, many families who have had to carry water, who have been without sewer facilities for a great many years -and for some that situation will exist for a long time. It will some years before Ottawa's water area is extended sufficiently to service all of the land now within Ottawa's bound- aries." 20-Mile Extension areas will be cared for.

Long-Term Program Mr. Stockwell said it was planned to extend the city's water services, this by year, approximately largely into 20 Nepean Township but there are plans in preparation for the servicing of Gloucester areas as well. The laying of foundations for a 2,000,000 gallon water reservoir at Carlington Heights is already under way, the assistant waterworks engineer said, and this reservoir, when completed, will be the source of water supply for the major portion of the, as yet, unserviced areas. "As it now stands the water service takes care of the Westboro area, mains are being extended to McKellar now, we plan on 20 miles of mains altogether this year, but it will still leave Britannia Village without services, Woodroffe is outside the water area and most of Overbrook. Roughly the whole area south of the Rideau River is without water or sewer facilities." Mr.

Stockwell said a main was extended to serve the school at Alta Vista and this main would also be used ultimately to service homes in that area. In the Billings Bridge area, he commented, the homes were served from wells, among them Gloucester township hall, and the same was true of the Hog's Back, Bells Corners and other areas in the annexed sections. "If water services were extended into the annexed areas on the same basis as in old Ottawa," he said, "it would be a century or more before we could give water and sewer facilities to the Gloucester and Nepean areas, but this work is being speeded up so that the more closely settled He agreed that the program was still a long term one. The city would carry out its water and sewer extension program from year to year. In some sections it would be 10 years before the mains would be fully extended.

In the city hall some employes laughed outright at the plight of the lady in Hull. One man in the city clerk's office, who lives in the Hog's Back area, said: "She should live out my way the community well has been declared unsafe for drinking. It is heavily chlorinated. I carry my drinking water about a half mile and to get water for general purposes I run a pipeline down to the Rideau and put in my own pumping system. The whole situation is more than a bit grim." Superintendent- J.

R. Robertson, MBE, whose appointment as Superintendent of Airways and Airports of the Department of Transport, was announced Friday by the Hon. Lionel Chevrier, sinister of that department. Mr. Robertson has been district controller of air services at Toronto for more than two years.

1,000 Entries In Hobby Show "With entries for the Central Canada Exhibition the heaviest on record, it will be the biggest show this year that we have had," declared J. K. Clarke, association secretary today in announcing the totals of further exhibits, apart from horses and livestock. Handicraft entries total 672, which is by far the largest list. in CCEA history, Mr.

Clarke pointed out. There are 27 entries from the Women's Institutes, which is triple the usual number, while the hobby show has attracted 1,051 exhibits, also a new record. Entries in the following classes do not close until Aug. 7: Horticulture, agricultural products, dairy and food products; Highland dancing and junior agriculture. The.

CCEA offices at Lansdowne Park will remain open all day Saturday and Monday, which is Civic Holiday, until 9 p.m., for the acceptance of entries in these classes. Second Arrest In Robbery With the arrest of a 25-yearold Ottawa man yesterday afternoon, police believe they have cleaned-up the month-old breakin at Des Roches Motor Sales, 274 Rideau Street, where more than $1,200 in cash was reported stolen from an office safe. Leo Presley, 25, of 252 Cathcart Street, was booked by city police in connection with charges of breaking, entering and theft. An alleged accomplice, Roland Bordeleau, 38 Cumberland Street, has been committed for trial by Magistrate Glenn Strike in connection with the same theft. He is being held in county jail, having Presley failed to was post bail arrested of $2,000., Billings Bridge residence by Detectives Raoul Desjardins, Edward Logan and Wilfred Gavan, who have been working on the case since the robbery occurred on July 6th.

A middle-aged working man, whose identity remained a mystery early this morning, died within a few minutes after being struck by a passing automobile, on the Aylmer Road, Hull, late last night. Only clue to the man's identity was a pay envelope found in his pocket. It bore the name of Robinson or Robertson, but police were not sure if that the man's name. The body was removed to Emond's undertaking parlors.

Police indicate that the driver of the car, Osias Blais, 37, of 34 Charlevoix Street, Hull, would not be charged as a result of the fatal accident. The accident occurred about a half mile within the Western Hull city limits, when the man, walking westward alongside the road, is believed to have stepped into the path of car, which was travelling in the same direction. Investigation by Hull police failed to reveal the identity the victim. Several residents of district who visited the scene of the accident, failed to recognize the man, and stated that he was a stranger to the locality. Police gave the following description of the man.

Age about 60, weight 135, height 5 feet 6 inches, wearing striped dark trousers, blue shirt, and a cap. At the time of the accident he was carrying a lunch, and holding several coins in his hand. Aurel Seguin of Val Tetreau, the first to arrive at the sc scene following the accident, told The Citizen that he knew of no one who actually saw the man being struck. He stated that he rushed to the scene, but was unable to aid the injured man, who died minutes after his arrival. The accident was investigated by Constables Alfred Sauve and Wilfrid Seguin.

Sergeant, Ernest Charron, Detectives George Dompierre and Auguste Anderson are continuing investigation to learn the identity of the victim. Ottawa Dentist Discovers Origin Of His Ancestors By Morris Duff A 10-day treasure Harold Beach netted about his ancestors, A visit to the the discovery of a by Richard Beach, a Evening Citizen Staff Writer hunt into the past just completed by Dr. him a fortune in interesting discoveries who settled in New Haven approximately 1638. New Haven Colony Historical Society led to map, dated 1641, showing the property owned brother of one of Dr. Beach's distant ancestors.

One of New Haven's main streetsonow runs along this property, and Dr. Beach, a prominent Ot: tawa dentist, took many photos of it in modernized condition. Richard Beach was one of the original proprietors of the New Haven colony. In those days, settlement conducted by forming a company, and prospective settlers buying shares in it. Property was awarded in accordance with the number of shares purchased by the proprietor.

Fined For Laughing The historical society, which is filled with accounts of early pioneers in the district, also disclosed that, one of Richard Beach's daughters was fined two shillings for laughing in the church, which was then known as the meeting house. Dr. Beach thinks that his actual ancestor John Beach, probably a great-great-great-greatgreat-great grandfather, likely came to the American colonies at the same time as his brother, Richard. The earliest historical society record of him, however, was dated 1643. Richard Beach helped in the building of the church at New Haven, now known as the Central Congregational Church.

A visit to the site led Dr. Beach to notice the name of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, one of the pews. The present minister of the church is Rev. David Nelson Beach. "Probably some relative of mine," the Ottawa dentist mused.

Dr. Beach stated that most of Yale University's founders are buried under this church. He said that a burial ground was situated near the church in accordance with English custom, but when the church was moved, the only site available was the burial ground. The church, therefore, was placed on stilts above it. As a result, there is now a cemetery in the basement.

Also In Plattsburg The treasure hunt also took Dr. Beach to Plattsburg, N.Y., where he discovered records of Beachs' owning property there just before the end of the 18th century. Dr. Beach thinks they settled there after the American Revolution, and then moved to Kemptville after the turn of the century. Discovery of a 155-year-old copy of a deed to his greatgreat property on the shore of Lake Champlain provided the initiative for the treasure hunt.

The document was found buried in the attic of his father's home in Winchester. Many descendants of the old pioneer Beechs of New Haven, in addition to Dr. Beach, are prominent citizens of Ottawa and district. Church Folds Like Accordion By The Associated Press WHITTIER, 120 worshippers will attend services tomorrow in a church that collapses like an accordion. The Whittier First Brethren Church, complete with pews, pulpit and steeple, can be folded up into a 30- by eight-foot trailer, hitched to the rear of an automobile and hauled away.

Unfolded, it has 720 square feet of floor space. The trailer church was modeled after one built by Rev. J. M. Ruthven and used for many years in Canada.

The portable sanctuary will serve the brethren congregation, temporarily until a permanent structure is built. Then, the collapsible chapel will go on the road as a travelling place of worship. Submits P.Q. Memorandum In French By The Canadian Press QUEBEC Premier Duplessis revealed yesterday at his weekly press conference that the Quebec government's memorandum Canadian constitutional amendment has been drafted in French. The memorandum has been submitted for a conference Aug.

21 of Federal Justice Minister and the provincial attorneysgeneral. Premier Duplessis started in 1945 the practice of submitting in Quebec's mother tongue formal statements by the provincial government to federalprovincial gatherings. The premier said he is willing to supply an English translation of the memorandum. The Ottawa conference Aug. 21 will be a meeting of a special federal-provincial committee appointed to study the various federal and provincial views on constitutional amendment and if possible co-ordinate them into a draft for submission to a plenary federal-provincial conference.

Marines From Page One We had rolled up in blankets on the ridge above the command post between two high ridges. During the firing, which seemed to come from all directions, our only movement was to try without rising to dig farther into the ground. The marines must have fired thousands of rounds. There was some shooting at short notice. We once heard, a far off challenge It was followed immediately by four quick shots.

Most of the time the challenge was not uttered. At one point a marine turned on a jeep's lights. The lights momentarily quieted the firing. Then the lights were extinguished and the marines opened heavy firing again. Naktong From Page MacArthur's headquarters reported the sinking Friday of a North Korean transport at Inchon, the port of Seoul.

B-29s lashed Seoul for the second straight day leaving the railroad yards flaming and shrouded in smoke. The medium bombers plastered the rail center with 100 tons of bombs, 20 tons more than were dropped Friday. The next big Communist drive was expected in the critical southern sector east of Chinju. There the Reds hurled four probing assaults Thursday and Friday but were repulsed with "heavy losses." The Communists, evidently in some strength, were continuing to feel out the defences east of Chinju. Although the eighth army communique reported a "quiet" front Friday, a spokesman at Gen.

MacArthur's headquarters said: The 35th regimental combat team of the U.S. 25th division hurled back two attacks between Chinju and Masan with "heavy losses" Friday night. This is in the southern sector, where two previous Red attacks Thursday cost the northern Koreans an estimated 1,200 castalties. Elements of the 15th Red division were moving toward the southern front to joint the 1st, 4th and 6th North Korean divisions, already identified there.
