CANADA Wednesday, September 13, 1950 Tommy Shields Truck Overturns, Driver Uninjured Gloucester Heavy Loser Land expropriations for the purpose of enlarging Uplands airport will strike Gloucester If, i Motorcyclist Hurt In Crash A young Wrlghtvllle motorcyclist was slightly Injured last night about 7.30 when the machine he was riding was In collision with a car at the corner of St. Patrick and Dalhousie Streets. Roger Gagnon, 17, of 100 Mont-petit Street, Wrightville, was treated at the Ottawa General Hospital by Dr. Leo Roy.

He suffered a gash to his left leg which required four stitches to close. The car was driven by Jean Louis Vermette, 38, of 155 Boteler Street. Damage to the motorcycle is estimated at approximately $150. Constables Joseph Boudreau and Raymond O'Neil investigated. iv5 Rule Death Accidental Special To The Citizen MANIWAKI A verdict of accidental death was returned shortly before noon today in the death of Thomas McAllister, 53-year-old employe of the Canadian International Paper Company here, who was found drowned in the Desert River this morning.

Dr. J. T. Lecuyer, district coroner, after inquiring into the circumstances, decided an inquest was not necessary. The body of McAllister, who had been reported missing last Friday, was found in the river by his son-in-law, Percy Le-febvre, his son, Morgan, and brother, William.

The body was caught in a CIP log boom. It was removed to the McConnery funeral parlors. Funeral arrangements were not completed. Mr. McAllister Is believed to have fallen In the river in the darkness while on his way to one of his sons' home.

The search was conducted by Police Chief Clement Tissot. Mr. McAllister, who was a widower, is survived by two sons, Morgan and Roy and two daughters, Mrs. Percy Lefebvre and Miss Edna McAllister. Judicial Tangle Witnesses and principals In 120 civil court cases wondered who was going to pay for their wasted time, when Mr.

Justice Schroeder (right), scheduled to preside in No. 2 courtroom in Toronto, did not appear. He was originally slated to sit at the criminal assize court and when he found that Chief Justice McRuer formerly of Ottawa, (left) had suddenly returned and was occupying the bench, he Just did not appear for the No. 2 courtroom session. Meanwhile litigants awaiting hearing are paying law fees for the wasted time and witnesses are wandering through the city hall corridors asking when they will be free to leave.

Session Is Improving By The Canadian Prea HAMILTON Tommy Shields Ottawa Citizen sports editor and well-known radio commentator, has Improved rapidly from the slight heart attack he suffered here after the Ottawa Rough Riders-H a i 1 1 Tlger-Cats game Saturday. He will learn today when he can leave the hospital. His wife has been with him since Sunday, making the trip from Ottawa by plane. cs From Page One "That is the purpose of asking the Commission for a report, will be guided in my recom mendation by the information elicited." Mr. Abbott pointed out that since there were no provisions in the salary vote in the budget last Spring or the supplementary budget of last week, no civil servant would get a pay hike before next January.

Announcement of what the pay increase is to be, however, will probably be made in about six weeks' time. President Whitehouse, who told Mr. Abbott and Secretary of State F. Gordon Bradley he wanted them to know "the in side facts" about the salary situ ation in the Civil Service, dis closed that strike votes had been taken In several centers outside Ottawa. Mr.

Abbott assured the dele gation they were "quite justi- nea coming to the Govern ment today in view of the wages being paid in private industry and rising prices." Cut Size Of Staff Mr. Abbott also said that, at the same time as a report was being prepared for salary increase, the Government was anxious to explore ways of cutting down the size of the service, outside the Department of National Defence, and of increasing its efficiency. That Is not to say the service is not efficient at present. It is, but In these days of high costs of public administration, its productivity must be Increased," he said. Mr.

Abbott said it was quite true that he had told the Civil Service Federation on April 3 that, if the cost of living con tinued to rise, It would be justified in asking further consideration of the salary question. (The Federation had previous ly broached the question of salary hikes to the Government Dec. 6 last, Jan. 6 and April 3.) He said it was also true that it was Government policy to re late salaries paid civil servants to those paid for the same kind of work by "good private Visit Justified "There has been an Increase in the cost of living, the major portion occurring since I saw you last," said Mr. Abbott.

He deemed the rise to be sufficient to Justify theJFederation's representation today. "Therefore I am proposing to recommend that the Civil Service Commission and the officers of my department make a detailed study of the fairly complex wage scale of the service for a general Increase and that study be in stituted immediately," said the Finance Minister. He explained that in the moneys now voted or in the gen eral salary vote: there was no provision for a general wage increase and that therefore such an increase would have to be passed at the next session of Parliament which usually meets in late January. He said the government would also have tc give some consideration to reducing the size of the service outside the Department of National Defence and would also have to look into some way of Increasing its efficiency. 'That Is the sort of thing I propose to have done," he said.

What He Feared Mr. Whitehouse said he would like to ask some questions if the Minister did not object. "Well, you can at least ask," replied Mr. Abbott affably. "What rate of increase would you recommend to your col leagues?" asked Mr.

Whitehouse. "I cannot answer that. That Is the purpose of requesting the Commission and my own officers to study the question. I will be guided by the Information elicited from that report," replied Mr. Abbott.

Then Mr. Whitehouse asked when the increase would go into effect. You will certainly have to wait to next January to get any money," replied the Minister. That is lust what I am afraid of," returned Mr. Whitehouse.

If civil servant? think there Is going to be nothing done before next January the announcement will not be well received. If we were in a position to say what the increase would be, that might pour oil on the troubled waters," said Mr. Whitehouse. Can't See Defeat "I don't see why that could not be announced beforehand," said Mr. Abbott.

"I don't anti cipate any early defeat of the Government," he added amid general laughter. Mr. Abbott. said the Govern ment appreciated very much the manner in which the Federation made its representations and that "over a long period of yean the relation between the Civil Service and the Government had formed the best kind of basis for employer-employe discussions." Augmenting the 'brief he presented, Mr. Whitehouse told Mr.

Abbott and Mr. Bradley he wanted to give them the Inside An Ottawa man, G. Duggan escaped injury late yesterday afternoon when his heavy trailer tractor, owned by Smith Trans port Limited, overturned on the Hull-Montreal Highway. The accident happened on sharp curve two miles east of Angers, when the huge vehicle went out of control and toppled over on the highway. The trailer was empty at the time.

The cab of the tractor was completely demolished and the trailer was badly damaged. Constable Albert Chartrand, of the Buckingham Detachment of the Quebec Provincial Police, in vestigated. Policing Prom Page One Gen. MacArthur's headquar ters said the allies still do not hold a solid line along the north east front. It was breached last week by the Reds.

But United Nations forces can throw fire on any point, MacArthur's spokes man added. North and northwest of Taegu the situation was described as "continuously fluid." Associated Press Correspondent Jack MacBeth sad U. S. 1st Cavalry units launched another attack Wednesday morning against an important. Communist-held hill eight- miles due north of Taegu.

This was in the immediate area where the American troops stormed and won a peak Tuesday in a bitter day long battle. Red Koreans pushed U. S. 1st Cavalry Division troops off hill nine miles northwest of Taegu-near the Waegwan-Taegu road. 1st Cavalry elements, Mac Arthur's communique reported seized high ground "north of the Waegwan area" Tuesday night.

"They make gains and we make gains," a spokesman said. They push us and then we push them." The Naktong' River and south west fronts were relatively quiet. In the northeast sector, the Red thrust last week-end threat ened the Pohang airstrip. The Communists drove a wedge five miles deep and three miles wide into the Allied line between Pohang and Angang, nine miles southwest. "We watched the penetration and it gradually giew worse," said Davidson, Army right end in the mid-1920s and West Point head coach from 1933 to 1937.

John H. Church, commander of the trail-blazing U.S. 24th Division, sent Davidson into the battle. Davidson led a flying column of South Koreans and Amerlr cans. They struck west from the Pohang area in a sweeping "end runt" A column of South Koreans already had sealed the northern gate of the mountain corridor northwest of Kyohgju in which the regiment of Red troops was massed.

A series of three ridges dominated the southern pass. When the task force arrived, South Koreans already had taken the first ridge. The tack force rolled on and seized the second. But it found two Red battalions dug in on the bare and flinty slopes of the third. The terrain, said Davidson, "was strictly something a billy-goat would have trouble climbing." Davidson called for air support.

A flight of allied planes sowed the ridge with jellied gasoline fire-bombs and machine-gun fire. "They did a magnificent job," Davidson said. The task force stormed the last ridge. The Reds broke and ran. About 150 Communists, remnants of a group of 700, were squeezed In a pocket from three sides.

"I don't know how many we killed," said Davidson. "But we did get a large quantity of personal weapons machine-guns, rifles and burp guns." The Communist remnants fled to the northwest. The task force moved up the corridor in a drive to pin the Reds against the South Korean wall at the north gate. The Reds were faced with the task of scrambling over the peaks to their own lines or running the risk of capture or death. The Davidson maneuver gave lift to the whole northeast front.

It had been in desperate peril last week when the Reds drove a wide gap In Allied lines. Two Allied drives northeast of Yongchon and northwest of Kyongju marked the biggest United Nations offensive since U.S. Marines drove the Reds from the Naktong River bulge in late August. At the highwater mark of the Red drive Sept. 4-3, the Communists twice entered Yongchon and punched to the outskirts of Kyongju.

The U.S. Eighth Army said a firm allied line now runs 12 miles east from Yongchon. A MacArthur spokesman said "to the best of my knowledge every entry (on the northern front) Is stopped." such subjects as the effects of Chinese Communist policies on South East Asia; International effects of Indo-Paklstan rela tions; the role of the United Nations in Korea, Indonesia, Kashmir and the Pacific Islands; a peace treaty with Japan; U.S. economic pol'cy in Eastern and Southern Asia; British and French policy in Malaya and Indo-Chlna; and regional co-operation In South Township heavily the township tresaurer, Carmen Guest, said today. Yesterday it was announced that the Department of Transport had Issued an expropriation order talcing over 3,800 acres in the Uplands airport area for the purpose of extending its runway and other facilities.

It was intimated that much of this land was inside the city's boundaries part of the land recently annexed from Gloucster Township. This morning city 'assessment officials said that Ottawa would lose very little land, if any, be cause ui tne expropriation order. City's Loss Slight P. B. Whitney, assistant assess ment commissioner, said that wnne the city had not yet examined the plan of expropriation closely, it seemed that the vast amount under expropri ation was Gloucester Town ship.

"The citv's loss In t.av able land would appear to be very slight," he said. But in Gloucester Township me picture is aiscuroing, clerk treasurer Guest intimated. "We haven't had an opportunity to study the expropriation plans," he said. "Vor have we naa any communication, official or otherwise, from the Department of Transport, or any other government department relative to the expropriation." He added that if the expropriation goes through it will deprive the township of some of Its most valuable land. "Coming at the eleventh hour, just after we have struck our tax rate, it could destroy our entire tax structure," Mr.

Guest said. "It will seriously affect our school setup, particularly that of the Bowesville Road School but we will have to wait to deter mine the true extent of tax loss. It may be that the government will pay the taxes this year so that our tax structure will not be disturbed." Editor From Page One The volume was completed tinder grant from the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, and was issued as one of the Institute's official publications. Mr. Woodsworth has also written a number of articles on Asian affairs for publications specializing In this field.

In 1944 he was appointed to the research staff of the British Ministry of Information, his work in this capacity including political and economic analysis of broadcasts from Japan and Japanese-occupied territories. He was stationed for a year in New Delhi, but travelled widely throughout India. Later his headquarters were at Ceylon and Singapore. He was with a British destroyer squadron which was sent to naval base of Surabaya in the Dutch East Indies in the jnitumn of 1945, and witnessed the outbreak of the Indonesian war. As Citizen readers will remember, Mr.

Woodsworth flew to Europe last year to write a series of articles on developments in a number of countries Including Great Britain, France, West Germany, Berlin, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Italy, Greece and Israel. On his present trip he plans to see something of Europe again but more of the Middle East and Asia. Following the Lucknow conference he will travel to some of the hot spots of Asia. Time and travel facilities permitting, he hopes to visit Burma, Thailand, Indochina, Malaya, Indonesia, the Philippines, Hong Kong Formosa and Japan. From each country he will Bend reports to The Citizen recording his impressions of how things are shaping up In these vital areas at this critical period In the world's history.

The Canadian delegation to the Lucknow conference includes Edgar Mclnnis, professor of history. University of Toronto, delegation chairman; F. H. Soward, professor of history, University of British Columbia; Frank H. Brown, Vancouver, financial aid Industrial consultant, former head of the federal Income tax department i H.

International Affairs. The Institute of Pacific Relations is a study organization comprised of national councils representing countries bordering on, or with special Interests in, the Pacific area. Canada's national council Is the Canadian Institute of International Affairs. At the Lucknow gathering the Indian Council of World Affairs, which is the national council in India for the IPR. will act as host As well as from Canada, delegates have been Invited from the Institute's national councils In the Commonwealth countries, United States, China, Japan, the Philippines, Pakistan, France, The Netherlands, and the USSR.

A number of Unitsd Nations agencies are expected to be represented as guest members. All told, about 150 delegates will 'je present. Main topic for discussion will be nationalism in the Far East and its International implications. The discussions will be held In private but will include a Plan To Mark Normal School Anniversary The Ottawa Normal School is preparing to observe its 75th anniversary late next month. The school's Alumni Association has been planning the event for the past two years.

It may draw close to 2,000 former pupils to Ottawa for the reunion. The last anniversary, marking the school's 60th year of operation, was held in 1935 and was attended by 1,500 graduate teachers. Tonight, W. F. Kendrick, principal of the Normal School, will meet with the Alumni Association executive to work out final details.

Resume From Page One The federation sought further Increases in a brief last December, and finally was told by Finance Minister Abbott that circumstances since October, 1948, had not changed enough to warrant further Increases. At that time, the federation brief said, Mr. Abbott said it was fully expected that prices would level off and that there might even be a slight recession. The finance minister had said that if these circumstances were not fulfilled, "further consideration would have to be given." Alarming Increase The brief said the cost of living since then had risen to "such an alarming extent that large industrial concerns and others have found it necessary to raise wages materially, and in many instances with retroactive effect. It noted that the official cost-of-living index at Aug.

1 was 168.5, or 6.8 points higher than nine months before, when the last request for an Increase was made. Average salary of a civil servant in 1939, the brief said, was $1,056, since which time the cost- of-living index had risen 68.5 percent. This meant civil ser vants then were getting an equivalent of $2,537 a year. The average salary for all classified civil servants in 1949 50, as shown in bureau of statis tics reports, was only $2,184. This left a discrepancy of 23.5 percent or nearly $360 a year, which the federation is asking be made up.

Attlec From Page One The Manchester Guardian, which usually leans over backward to keep Its Liberal impartiality, attacks, the tentativeness of Mr. Attlee's program and his insistence that every British action depends on American aid. This defeatist attitude," it says, 'is not going fill our friends abroad with confidence. It is, of course, nonsense; our economic position Is not so inherently weak, our present austerity not so extreme, that we can do not more it all depends on how much we are ready to give up at home. The Implication of Mr.

Attlee's speech was that we are as yet ready to give up very little." The outright Conservative Daily Mall says Mr. Attlee's "nig gling" speech "lacked fire. It lacked urgency. It lacked even the touch of conviction." From Page One Mr. St.

Laurent has already made it clear that should events require Parliament to meet prior to Feb. 14, members will be recalled. The current session, expected to complete its work either tomorrow or Friday, has dealt mainly with emergency legislation. After passing legislation to end the recent rail strike, members passed other measures authorizing the government to send an armed brigade to Korea or elsewhere, to accelerate defence preparations at home and to provide arms aid for Europe. No Details Of Changes Mr.

St. Laurent gave no details of what changes are planned In the allowances paid to members, His notice said: "It is expedient to present a bill respecting payment of ses sional allowances to senators and members of the House of Commons during the present session and payment of their usual moving, transportation and living expenses in the event of adjournment of Parliament for more than one week, and subsequent resumption of its sittings." Under parliamentary rules, members are paid $25 a day for a session lasting less than 65 sit ting days. For a session 65 days or longer, they are paid $4,000. In addition, they receive a yearly payment of $2,000 to cover living expenses while in Ottawa. Their travelling expenses also are paid.

Resume Swim Classes At Civic Baths Swimming activities for the fall and winter season have been resumed at both the Champagne and Plant pools. Art Charbon-neau, director of swimming activities for the Playgrounds Department, will be In direct charge of the overall program. The staff at the Champagne pool will consist of Dick Boivin, superintendent, and Hilda Guil-laume, Robert Vaive and Gilbert Presley, swimming Instructors. Bill Scott will be the superintendent at the Plant pool and will be assisted by Louise Amyot, Jack Nevins and Bob Fitzpatrlck. Don Purdy, athletic director for the Public Schools and Aime Arvisais, secretary for the Sep arate Schools, already have their pupils back on their regular schedules of swimming instruc tions at both pools.

Classes for the pupils are held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days per week and tl.ere has been an Increase in attendance each year since this plan of free swimming Instructions for all Ottawa grade school fupils was inaugurated in the fall of 1946. Classes for adults in life saving methods will begin Monday, Sept. 18 at 8.15 p.m.

at the Champagne pool. There is no charge for these lessons and successful can didates will receive medals from the Royal Life Saving Society. Last year, Ottawa placed first In the number of life saving awards won in Ontario and the Playgrounds Department Is anx ious to hold the Cochrane. Cup which is emblematic of this achievement. i Truman From Page One At that moment, the door of the conference room opened.

William Ridsdale of the British delegation, stepped in and told them the news that had just flashed in from Washington: Defence Secretary Louis Johnson had resigned and President Truman had accepted his resignation. No Surprise To Acheson This was probably no surprise to State Secretary Dean Acheson who must have known before he left Washington that the man who was his most constant and severest critic in the government was about to be let out. It was no news to Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and France's Robert Schuman who could scarcely have failed to hear of the cabinet conflict between the defence secretary and the secretary of state. For the moment, this development as well as the fact that General of the Army George C. Marshall had agreed to take over the defence department, overshadowed the discussions that had been going on yesterday and gave them new point.

It assured that America, in its bold and energetic endeavor to build up the free world's defences, would be guided from two critical government posts by men who see eye-to-eye on policy and who have rich experience in their jobs. It indicated, too, that President Truman always reluctant to abandon a political friend when he Is under fire is able to sacrifice his own feeling when the greater interests of the nation demand It. Prestige Dwindled Mr. Johnson, an executive who helped raise campaign funds for Harry Truman in 1948 when few other friends came forward to help, had lost prestige con tlnuously during the months he had occupied the defence post tlon. Inevitably, after the U.S.

went to the defence of the Korean republic and Its troops met heavy initial set-backs, Johnson was blamed for the unpreparedness of the forces. He was blamed by political opponents for hav ing allowed a departmental economy program to weaken the defence establishment. But those were not the rea son3 Trcsldcnt Truman accepted his resignation. The reason was that Johnson, while public ly expressing respect for the sec retary of state, was privately sniping at him. On a wide number of Issues, he was in conflict with the secretary of state on matters of foreign policy and made no secret of the fact.

At a time when the two de partments necessarily have to work closely together In the development of foreign policy and Its execution, one of them had to go. It could not be State Secretary Acheson. One of the Issues on which Acheson and Johnson were divided was the relative 'importance of Europe and the Far East the conflict with militant Communism. Although not dis regarding the Importance of the Far East, Acheson Insists that Europe should have the top priority. Turned Foreign Policy In this he is in agreement with General Marshall, the man who turned the course of American policy in the Far East against one built on support of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek against the Chinese Communists to one of "a plague on both your houses The change In defence department chiefs was well-timed to coincide with the discussions on European defence which were going on in the 37th floor conference room in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel here yesterday.

General Marshall, a wartime chief of staff, knows European defence problems as well as any American military man with the possible exception of General Dwight Eisenhower. And America now Is moving to take up a position, in the guarding of Europe which has no precedent in history. Just how that position Is going to develop was one of the matters exercising the minds of the three foreign ministers yesterday. While no details of their first day's exchange of views were made public, it is a reasonable assumption that they talked about President Truman's dramatic announcement of last Saturday that the U.S. was prepared to add "substantial" forces for the defence of Europe on condition that other North Atlantic Pact powers would match the American effort.

The President's statement is known to have revealed only the sketchiest outline of the American project for participation in a European security force. Fuller details are believed to have been given to Bevin and Schuman by the secretary of state and will be New Library For Students Ottawa University high school students are going to have their own special library this year for the first time. It will be entirely separate from the University division library but will be serviced by the same qualified and trained staff. Rev. Auguste M.

Morisset dean of the library school, is head of the library staff. Rev. Andre Renaud, principal of the high school division, is pleased that students there are more than 500 of them will soon have their own library in which to study. facts on the unrest in the service arising out of salaries. He mentioned' the recen increases granted civic employes in Ot tawa and Montreal, of Ford Motor and General Motors com panies.

"I am not going to touch on the incident of two weeks ago when a large body of employes got pay increases as well as the promise of a five-day week next September," he said. He noted civil servants were always having "thrown in their faces" the number of privileges they enjoyed. He was not dis puting these but noted they had not got the same weight today when large business concerns were granting more and more privileges to their employes. Loyal Body He emphasized that the Fed erai uivu service was a very loyal body, "although I don't need to tell you that," and that it was even the "backbone of Government." "Well, a very important fac tor," interrupted Mr. Abbott.

Mr. Whitehouse said the Civil Service didn't "want a great deal" but wanted the necessities and, "the odd luxury." He was not an alarmist but he could furnish the ministers with the names of places where "literally thousands" of civil servants were doing two jobs to make ends meet. He aecnea tne common assumption that the Civil Service meant Ottawa, pointing out two thirds of the Government's employes worked outside the capital. The Right People Mr. Whitehouse said the service actually faced the problem of getting the right people and keeping them.

Referring to his own department, the Post Office, the right people could not be hired to do continuous night work at the present salaries. "The only kind of people we can get are those unacceptable to business and industry," he said. He referred to the "great unrest" in the service, although civil servants put up with a great deal before doing anything about it. "Actually strike votes have been taken in places across the country," he said. He also referred to the many veterans, of the First World War, of the Second World War and of both, In the service.

He mentioned particularly the younger veterans "who have proven their loyalty and worth in and out of the service." "They fee! they haven't got much to lose. Their army training hasn't prepared them to sit down and do nothing. They go among people and point out things," he said. -st to r. No Controls On Fuel Oil By J.

A. Hume Citizen Parliamentary Writer Domestic fuel oil prices are not expected to be controlled by the federal government in the foreseeable future. This was the definite information give The Evening Citizen today by high ranking 'officials of both the Trade and Commerce and Finance Departments. Whatever price controls may be put into effect by the federal government in the months Immediately ahead will be confined to materials and service utilized In connection with Canada's greatly stepped up defence preparedness program. Authority for such price control action was inserted in the Essential Materials Act whlcl was approved at the currea session of Parliament.

Fuel oil of the type used by householders for domestic heading purposes, The Evening Citizen was informed, does n4 figure to any extent In la plementation of the government's defence preparedness program. It Is lower grades of fuel oil than used for oil furnaces in houses and apartments which are used, or are likely to be used. In the defence program. Navy ships, for example, use lower grade fuel oils. Also, The Evening Citizen was told, there Is no shortage imminent In the supply of fuel oil for domestic heating purposes.

Thus, while the retail price of domestic fuel oil was raised slightly recently, government authorities see no reason why such prices snould Increase to the extent that control thereof might be desirable or necessary. Women Hired Strike Caused By Keutera News Agency LONDON A London bus garage today took on two new female conductors and started a strike of drivers and conductors which may cripple the city's public transport system. So far only one garage, where the girls were engaged, was affected. About 650 men stopped work and 100 buses were idle on three routes two of them through the heart of London. Busmen contend their wages are so low that only women can accept the terms offered.

A union official said mass meetings were being held at several other garages today to consider sympathy strikes. Canada From Page One Nothing of the sort Is contem plated by the government unless the country goes on an all-out war footing, and that is not likely now. No Need To Reply The fact that the request for troops for Germany came from Mr. Churchill and not the British government will save Canada the necessity of having to answer formally. Officially, Mr.

Churchill Is just opposition leader. Canada has set a goal of 82,000 men for her armed services. To send two or three divisions would require 40,000 to 60,000 more men and would require special legislation by Parliament. Emmanuel Shinwell, British defence secretary, is coming to Canada soon In connection with a meeting of past defence ministers in the U.S., and Canada's military position will be talked over at that time. For the present at least, Canada will concentrate on building up her defence forces to the ceilings set recently by the government and will also concentrate on military production.

But nothing like the suggestion advanced by Mr. Churchill that two or three divisions be sent to Europe is under consideration or Is likely to be considered. supplied to the Canadian and other Atlantic Pact foreign ministers when they meet In, council here later this week. 1 3 be seen one piston-driven bronco buster managed to come out of the collision "on Fortunately no one was seriously injured in the tussle.
