C. I Clifford J. Leclaire, of Smiths FaKs, fireman. testified it was pitch dark and foggy that morning. until we came near Hurd-man's Bridge there was nothing put of the ordinary, but I think the engineer became bewildered on account of the fog and did not quite realize where he was at the time.

We were, going faster than but the speed was not excessive." Asked by a juryman when he first knew the train had I gone oh the track he replied: i "God bless us, sir. we rolled over three times'" I William 'C, Beck, C.P.R. super-; intendent of Smiths Falls division, said, he "saw no reason to (Burrows ws' not perfectly fa-! miliar with that section of Evidence showed Burrows had in the service for nearly 30 years and became an engineer in 117... D. J.

Fillion, 30 Lome avenue, telegraph operator at Hurdman's Bridge, also stated the train was going faster than usual but did not imply it was out of control. He said the switch giving the train right-of-way had been thrown in plenty of time. Eugene Couch in. 18 Cham-plain street. Hull, section foreman, testified he had been over the section previously with a gauge and had walked over the curve that morning and everything was in good shape.

His evi dence was confirmed by i John Sutherland. Smiths Falls division engineer, who said he "examined this part of the track and found to be In excellent J. A. Sullivan. 106 Montreal Road.

NT) More Americans are reading the newspapers since the entry of the United States into the war.

Editor and Publisher, trade Journal, said today. The publication said a survey showed increases In newspaper sales of as much as IT percent for the first three months of 1942 over pie last quarter of 1941. 1 think it would make the curve if the speed was not cut down. He thought the train was travelling faster than the speed of 10 miles per hour specified for that curve William Benger, Montreal mechanical, engineer, cor roborated previous evidence that the train must have been travelling at a greater speed than usual. Asked bv Coroner Sheriff if there was not some mechanical device on the locomotive to indicate the speed, he replied that from past xnriin-e it was imDractical and unreliable, and that it would be more of a liability than an asset if an engineer had to be depen dent entirely unon it.

Controller E. Pick ering announced at meeting of the Ottawa Salvage Committee, In the City Hall, Friday afternoon. Controller Pickering said that all the service stations ln the country would be co-operating, placing receptacles on their premises to receive the rubber goods deposited. It was also probable that a campaign would be commenced later for the collection of bottles. Figures submitted tor March showed that 298,388 pounds of paper and 10,242 pounds of rags had been collected, with 3,644 pounds of bones and grease for IS days ln the month, also gathered.

Total collection of metal for the past three month amounted to Controller Pickering' said that although their collections were not being done in a spectacular way, yet. if the people could see all the work of the month loaded in a convoy of trucks, they would realize the Immensity jot the collections. He wished to warn residents about telephoning in for delivery trucks to pick up their salvage until they had at least 73 pounds of stuff to offer, as the present tire and gas shortage necessitated them making as few unnecessary trips as possible. A report from the Gyro Club showed that 23 members had been busy on the road, doing a house-to-house canvass for material. A full report would be submitted by them at the next committee meet ing.

The club reported that the response of practically all house holders had been very co-eper aUve. They struck snag at ene home, when the husband reported that he had scrap articles but he eouldnt be bothered rooting It at. If the men wanted the stuff they could return later. The callers agreed and suggested the next day. He replied that aa he and his wife were both working in the Government they would not be at home and refused to pile it on the verandah for them to pick up.

"Why ont yea ie like the Germans do and corns and get It he said. When Controller Pickering heard this he snorted "It's a pity that guy wasn't In Germany and he would really see how they col lect salvage and how 'Six Terrible Days' In Open Boat Ends In loss of legs LONDON. April 10. CP) The British Broadcasting Corporation said tonight Richard Fairey. son of the Fairey aircraft manufacturer, has had both legs amputated as a result of frostbite suffered during "six terrible days" ln an open boat In mid-Atlaritic.

Fairey was travelling to the United States when his ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat, the BBC said. Passengers of the ship took to sea in lifeboats while th U-boat remained at the scene of the sinking, "the Germans laughing and "A gale rose and one of the lifeboats the BBC said. "Two others were feared lost. "Fairey's boat was blown out into the Atlantic. After six days of hardship with the temperature below zero they were sighted by a Hudson plane.

Soon afterwards an American destroyer rescued them and Fairey returned home by way of Iceland. Ontario House Drops Radical Tax Bill TORONTO. April 11. Tho amendment to the Assessment Act, a measure second only in importance on this year's legislative program to the bill that validated tho tax transfer agreement between Ontario and 'the Dominion Government, will not be introduced this session, it was learned. The bill, which would rewrite the old act and consolidate assessment legislation, simplify tax collection and place a new conception on real property valuation for tax purposes, has been drafted and Is ready for submission.

Neither Municipal Affairs Minister McQuesten nor Deputy Minister A. J. B. Gray would comment, but it Is reported that House members feel the bill is too advanced for adoption until the municipalities have had another year's opportunity of studying it and of consolidating opinion on the more radical proposals, such as that which would place tax collection within the administrative authority of county units. If the Eyes Have III WALTER LIPPMANN Fall of Bataan Reminds rrom me rressure oroups By WALTIE NEW April 10, "THE fall of Bataan is bear because we have known that it was, only question of how long the Filipino and American forces coiid hold out.

Some supplies it was possible to send, but no reinforcements to the weary men. So there was never a chance that they, could last until they could be relieved" and the siege raised by the reconquest of the Western Pacific. For their powers of resistance were measured in weeks and our power to counterattack in force is almost certainly to be measured in months and years. So they fought knowing that they themselves had no hope. This Is the very heart of courage.

transcending all other acts of which men are capable, and the surest proof that man is more than his flesh, his blood, his bones and his appetites. On this proof as on a rock, that there is in all men a capacity to live and a willingness to die for things which they themselves can never hope to enjoy, there rests the whole of man's dignity and the title of all his Tights. Were man not the kind of creature who can pursue more than his own happiness, he would never have imagin ed his freedom, much less have sought It For that reason men can never accept finally an order of things in which, as In all the devil's work, the nobility of man, hit self less courage, is used to destroy the grounds and origins of hit courage. Whatever the fanatical courage men show In an evil we need never -doubt that its energy is limited. For the fanaticism of an evil cause cannot draw upon the whole nature of men, and it Is doomed, therefore, as always ln the past, to wither and rot away.

fall of Bataan marks the end of the one phase of one campaign in 'one theatre of the world-wide war. Those who could not or would not see it earlier must see now that the successes of Japan are due solely to the fact that all her enemies have been deeply engaged in the struggle with Hitler. No one will wish to minimize. If for no other reason than out of pride in the heroism of our men, that the Japanese campaign is brilliantly conducted. But the fact remains that none of the West' era nations has been able to devote Itself to the -war with Jaoan.

Brit ain. Russia, the United States have in Hitler a far more formidable enemy, and what Japan has done Is to take full advantage of Hit ler's war. 1 Japan has never yet had tp deal with the whole power of the United Nations. The dsi of reckoning for Japan will be the day when she must deal with the whole pow er of the United Nations. No one knows this better than the Japan.

To accomplish this end the Axis leaders rely, not without reason, upon the fundamental weakness of democratic nations their vulnerability to pressure groups. From every place that threatened, ac tually or potentially, the pressure is exerted to send ships, 'planes, troops for the defence of that place. The net result is force the hands of those who are responsible for the war. to- force them to dissipate at scattered places the power which they need to concentrate in order to strike at the enemy. TT is not the business of civilians, because they cannot possibly Judge the situation correctly, to say whether the war be fought at this place orat that one from Australia, from Alaska, from Africa, from England, from Scandinavia.

But it is very much the business of civilians to Orotect their com. manders fronyihe pressure and the propaganda of other civilians. It is very much the business of the civilians Ao stana guard against sectionalism. Jingoism or political and Journalistic clamor seeking to impose stitegical plans upon the responsible commanders.
