George Powers, manager of the Rough Riders and a member of the elub for two decades, died suddenly in hospital this icorninj at the age ei 61.

A member of one of the city' oldest sports families. Mr. Powers in hi younger days had played hockey with local teams and later refereed games up and down the Ottawa valley. All his life he had been a participant and supporter of sports. He was a brother of Con.

John Powers. Associates Stunned His sudden death left Ottawa's sports fraternity stunned. "It was only two weeks ago," said James P. McCaffrey, president of the Ottawa Football Club, -that George "and I were out at Lansdowne figuring out what equipment would be needed, for the season." "I was very shocked," said Mr. McCaffrey, echoing sentiments expressed by numerous other sportsmen in the city.

"He was a fine man and a very good friend. I am certainly going to miss him." "There is nothing I can say that would be nice enough for George." said E. K. Emerson, past president of the club. "He made every effort for the good of the team.

He was a good sport and very popular with the boys (Bough Riders players). "About all I can say is that he was a darn fine fellow. We will miss him greatly." Loved Football George Powers began his association with the Ottawa Football Club 20 years ago. He would drop into the club quarters to help out by performing odd jobs, a service he offered just because he loved football and sports in general. Later he was put in charge of team equipment.

"He was always on the scene," recalled Mr. McCaffrey. After the Second World War he was made assistant manager and two years ago was given the job of manager, the post he filled until his death. Before the First World War George Powers played with local hockey teams. Practically all his family excelled in one sport or another.

The letter, she said, was addressed to her husband, who arrived in Korea only three weeks ago to serve a second term with the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps. Half Burned The letter was half burned and the address was chaired, Mrs.

Lawlor told The Citizen, but her own return address was quite legible. "It's funny, I had a feeling that letter would never get to Korea and for some reason, I wrote a second one a few days later," the woman said. With the returned letter came the following explanation from the Post Office Department: "The enclosed item of mail was salvaged from the TCA plane which crashed at Moose Jaw, on April 8, 1954, The Post Office Department expresses sincere regret for the unfortunate occurrence resulting in the damage and delay to this mail." LL-CoL K. Cairpbeil cf 'Ottawa. 43-year-oid commanding officer cf the homeward-bound 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, was scheduled to arrive at Uplands Airport at 2.15 o'clock ihis afternoon, after a year's service in the Far East I Before leaving Seattle by air for Ottawa, the battalion's com-' mander said Canadian troops were making a name for them- selves in Korea as "builders." He said his troops bad used discarded tin drums, cans and 'cartons of every description to make their living conditions easier in the rugged, devastated country they served in for four months of bitter fighting and tight months of monotonous stand-by duty since the Korean truce.

Make Life Easy "Canadians are great builders. 'They get along because they do things to make life easier. They are a reai bunch of men to lead." Campbell said he was glad to be back in Canada but that he felt a tour of duty in the Far East was good for everyone. "The men like it too. After the gruelling training schedule they get at Wainwright, Korea is easy.

Battalion Lands Meantime, the men of the tough, rollicking battalion landed hi Seattle and promptly were dubbed the "happy Canadians." Obviously overjoyed at being home after a year's service in Korea and the prospect of 60 days leave, 1,400 Canadian soldiers tramped light-heartedly down the gangplank of the American troopship Marine Lynx and swung aboard trains for their homes across Canada. The broad smiles and buoyant spirits of the Canadians, the majority of them RCR's, earned the appellation "happy" from United States port authorities and Red Cross workers who described them as "one of the happiest bunch of men we've ever seen."

How Outlay Apportioned Works Commissioner Cecil1 Wight estimated that it would cost approximately $1,000,000 to provide sewers and roads for the new subdivision.

Waterworks Engineer W. E. MacDonald said the provision of water for the area would cost approximately $637,000 of which $210,000 would be for new 16-inch water mains, and $427,000 for the extension of water services, under local improvements, to the new homes. He did not believe the work could be undertaken until some time next year. Mr.

Wight and Mr. MacDonald were instructed to confer with the Major Realty Co. principals in the working out of planning details. Ilelircd Fanner J. Cooney Dies A farmer at Quyon most of his life, John Ernest Cooney of 110 Fourth Avenue died suddenly this morning at his home.

Clear Decks For Housing Probe Jn U.S. WASHINGTON (APf The decks were cleared today for a double-barrelled investigation of a possible scandal in United States government housing operations, evidently stretching back into the Truman administration. The first official rumbling of continuing trouble in the Federal Housing Administration came late yesterday when the White House announced the resignation of FHA Commissioner Guy T.

O. Holiday. i President Eisenhower at the same time ordered housing administrator Albert M. Cole to impound FHA's records "to facilitate the investigations which are being conducted." Serious Irregularities Shortly afterward Cole, Holly-day's superior, announced at a press conference that his agency will investigate "serious irregularities and abuses" in the government-aid program of home modernization and repair. Householders allegedly had been "fleeced." Cole also said the FBI will check on alleged "illegal or unethical action" in the handling of apartment project financing by FHA officials.

Here, he said, investigators will search for evidence of "collusion" between apartment builders and federal officials In the insuring of mortgages on inflated appraisals something that he said already has cost the government better than $75,000,000. Cole indicated that he expects few criminal actions, but "the great number of these cases indicates there was either gross negligence or collusion." Allegedly off-color apartment project financing was said to have developed under the postwar "middle income" housing program, which died four years ago. A Truly Great Canadian Br J. A.

ussian From Page Onf He said Petrov, "who had been carrying out in Australia the functions of the Russian ministry of state security, MVD, has disclosed a complete willingness and capacity to convey to our own security people a great number of documents and what may turn out to be much oral information and explanation. "In examining all this material, involving a great deal of translation and comparative research to establish the meaning of particular expressions and code names, much time will be necessary. "I am therefore not in a position to make a full statement. "But in the few days since Petrov came to our security people enough material has been examined to show there are matters affecting Australia's security that call for judicial investigation. "These matters concern not only the activities of MVD agents in Australia but also the position of some Australian citizens named in the documents under cover or code names, otherwise as contacts or co-operators." The reference to code names also recalled the Canadian case.

The Canadian contacts named by Gouzenko operated under such pseudonyms. To strengthen the royal commission's powers. Menzics said, he will ask an immediate amendment to the royal commission act to authorize the commission to compel witnesses to attend its sittings and give evidence. The last reported case of a Russian diplomat seeking political asylum outside Russia was that of Yuri Rastovorov, who disappeared in Tokyo Jan. 28 this year.

American officials have consistently refused to confirm rumors that he asked for political asylum and now is in hiding somewhere in the United Slates. The Soviet Union last demanded an investigation into his disappearance on March 25, claiming he was kidnapped by U.S. Intelligence officers in Tokyo. Voluntary Request Menzics said Petrov made a voluntary request through the Australian security Intelligence organization for political asylum. This request has been granted, protection provided for Tetrov and the Soviet Embassy notified, he said.

He quoted this statement from Petrov: "I wish to ask the Australian government fop permission to remain in Australia permanently. "I wish to become an Australian citizen as soon as possible. "I ask for protection for myself and assistance to establish myself comfortably in this country. "I no longer believe In the Communism of the Soviet leider-ship. "I no longer believe In Com-munlsm since I have seen the Australian way of living."
