M. Harty, 79, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel, since -1914, died last night at Thurles in County Tipperary. He had, been a priest 32 years. i 1 I i i i i I His police record and terror inspired by his companion, Henry Cerettl, kidnapper end hold-up man, made Nicholas Minelli, 28, of Ottawa, think only of flight and his own safety, he told Mr. Justice Mackay and a Jury this morning from the witness stand.

Minelli is trial on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping and was called as the final defence witness today by Defence Counsel John Mirsky. Waa Never Threatened. Under cross-examination by Crown Attorney Raoul Mercler, Minelli admitted Cerettl had never threatened him personally. "The way he talked to Laprade, I didn't think he would waste any time with Minelli said. Questioned by His Lordship, the accused said he felt his past record would be against him and his only thought was not to be associated with, "the whole Called in his own defence, Minelli told of having know Cerettl for a couple of months.

He was playing pool in the Somerset street pool room on the afternoon of July 13. Cerettl came in and asked him to watch his corf and a bottle of Later on, someone called him outside and he saw Cerettl in a car. Cerettl said, "Get in He did so but did not see any-, one else In the car at the time. "I have a surprise for Cerettl said. Minelli replied, "I don't like Cerettl told him to look In the back.

He did but saw nothing. "Are you crazy or he asked the driver, CerettL "Look again on the Cerettl told him. Saw Laprade. Minelli said he looked again and saw Laprade bound ankle to wrists on the floor. "What's the joke?" he asked "It's no joke.

I guess you're was the reply. Cerettl then told him a holdup had been arranged in Arnprlor and they wanted Minelli -with them. "I don't want any part of it. Pull over and let me Minelli said. Cerettl just laughed and drove on.

Cerettl then said, "Don't worry about the guy in the back because he Won't be Minelli said Cerettl muttered something about the "business end of a "'My God, don't do Minelli yelled at him. "what's the matter? Losing your guts?" the driver askedhlm. Did Not Have Gnu. Minelli told the court he had no revolver, never had carried one in his life. He said he never held a gun on his lap as de-i scribed previously by Laprade.

He had never asked Cerettl to let him drive and never sug- gested changing the plates on the car. Immediately the car stopped at a stop light, he got out and ran away. He saw. nothing of a struggle between Laprade and anyone else. Cerettl told him he was carry- ing a gun but he never saw it, he testified.

Small, wiry arid with receding black hair, Minellt repeatedly told the Crown Attorney it would have been impossible for his hair to fall over his face. During a heated exchange with the Crown Attorney he aske'd him to come and try and pull the hair down over ni, ace Mr cier declined, remarking, -probably Just been washed and you can't do a thing with it" Minelli denied knowledge of a conversation on the evening of his arrest with Deputy Chief Duncan MacDonell, of the Ottawa police force. Deputy Chief MacDonell, was called and said he had talked to Minelli, whom he knew, while the accused was in a cell at Ottawa police headquarters. He told Minelli the police were looking for his companion and he might as well tell them who he was. i Would Take Rap Himself.

Charles Ladas, proprietor of the Grad's poolroom on the corner of Rochester and Somerset streets, said he saw Minelli there on the afternoon of July 13 and had called to him that someone wanted him outside.

She will be in Ottawa tomorrow, and during the next four months or so will tour the entire Western Hemisphere from Atlantic to Pacific, ending her tour in Brazil.

Her nickname, "tramp ship of thej is derived from her ability to land and take off with heavy loads on small unprepared airstrips aa short as 600 yards. She can carry six tons, and cruises at between 150 and 180 mph. Low-cost economical freighters like these are Britain's bid for a world market in aircraft similar to that built up in the past 100 years by her great shipbuilding yards, which established Britain as the world's greatest shipbuilder.

As of June 1, 1940, there was approximately $36,000 outstanding on pledges. Payment of the major portion of this would ensure the liquidation of the deficit without further appeal by June 30, 1950. To fill the needs of reconstruction and rehabilitation both in overseas and home missions, it was urged that the Church adopt some means of having the people vlsuaMze what is required to further the evangelical work. Following the motion of Rev. Gordon A.

Slsco, of Toronto, General Secretary of the United Church, the resignation of Dr. J. C. Cochran-, of Toronto, as secretary of the Department of Pensions was accepted by the General Council. This will permit the appointment of a permanent successor.

No Illegal Withdrawals. The Judicial Committee, which had been asked to rule on the legality, of withdrawals from the capital of the pension fund for the payment of benefits; filed a judgment that no evidence had been found of any illegal withdrawals. Dr. Slsco, as committee secretary, said that many contributions to the fund did not preclude withdrawals for the payment of benefits, and it would be an almost Impossible task to determine to what degree withdrawals might be made. The Council ratified the favorable 100-to-two vote the Presbyteries on the remit, "within the submitted by the 11th General Council, which would permit members of the church to be attached to the presbyteries of their choice.

Thus a member residing in Toronto might be attached to a presbytery in western Canada. Rev. Ernest Trice Thompson. -a minister of the Presbyterian Church. United States, and professor of Church History at the Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, brought the greetings of the Western Alliance of Reformed Churches, and congratulated the United Church of Canada for the harmonious amalgamation of churches of different traditions and backgrounds.

(The United Church of Canada, established in 1925, embraced Congregational, Methodist, Presbyterian and other denominations.) He said tint among Protestant churches there had been a 'centrifugal movement tending to divide the members Into different sects. At the last census there were reported in the United States some 250 different denominations. He said the question. "Can Roman Catholicism win Amer-1 lea?" must be answered affirma tively unless there is a strong movement towards unitjramong Protestants. There was evidence, 'however, of a centripetal movement both by organic unions and by greater co-operation among various denominations.

In addition, research work necessary to the development of new equipment will be carried out Mr. Abbott said Churchill, jumping off point last Winter for exercise umuskox, had been selected because it offered conditions of extreme cold in the Winter, moderate heat in the Summer and because of year-round accessibility by both rail and air.

No further details were available immediately on the project which, when completed, is expected to be manned by at least 5,000 personnel of the three services. An advance party already has been' sent to the area to survey accommodation arrangements and establish administration offices. During the war the United States operated a large air base at Churchill which has been taken over by the Canadian, Army. Although no confirmation was available, it was understood that a large United States force will be despatched to Churchill to cooperate with Canadian forces.

Preceding him home will be his wife, Mrs.

Glen Meyer, who left Auckland on August 14 to sail on the New Zealand vessel, the SS Rangatlki. Its arrival in New York has been delayed due to the strike of maritime workers and truckers and the ship has been diverted to Halifax, where it will dock on Friday.

Twelve families broke open the boarded-up doors and seized rooms before police could intervene.

The "feint squat" had drawn all but one lone policeman from the area, but reinforcements came quickly when the rune was discovered.

It was vacated last month by a group of Irish laborers brought into London for bomb repair work. The planks which sealed its doors were" ripped away by the 12 squatter families who were first on the scene.

All was quiet at the squatter-held Duchess of Bedford apartments during the morning, but sympathizers with squatters who seized the Abbey Lodge apartments, near Regent's Park, staged a "lie-down" strike in the street. Lying three abreast, they stretched out on blankets and rugs and held up traffic for a quarter of a mile. They appeared ready for a long stay until a Communist loudspeaker truck advised them there was "no need to hold up traffic any longer." The "lie-down" strike may have been part of the "feint squat" calculated to dupe police into dividing their reserves. A carnival air prevailed in fashionable Kensington near the besieged "Duchess" fiats. The East End Communist Party provided a public address system last night and an amateur entertainment program was held.

Fifty irate squatters at the St. John's Woods flats showered white -paint down on a detail of bobbles early today. The policemen remained good-naturedly calm and declined to force an entrance. Twenty-nve squatters families moved into the Abbey Lodge apartments, near Regent's Park, yesterday shortly after the Government statement was sued but swift-moving ppHce prevented them from taking in their furniture'.

Legitimated tenants were to have moved in next month. Its cheapest apartment five rooms would rent unfurnished for $65 a week. For the squatters, however, there was little comfort in the "luxury" building.

12. (P) In a move challenging the Austrian Government's authority, the Russians last night sentenced 70-year-old Dr. Karl Wilhelm to two years in Siberia for disobeying a Soviet order to dissolve the Austrian Settlement Association which he headed. Wilhelm, placed In that job by the Government, had disregarded the Soviet dissolution order on the instructions of his Government pending the outcome of its appeal to the Allied Council against what the Austrians regarded as Russian unilateral action. Far-Reaching Elffect The significance of the Soviet sentence appeared to be far-reaching, since there is hardly an Austrian government employe but who disregards one Russian order or another on instructions, pending settlement of disputed points.

i The Austrian Settlement" Association was set up by the Government to administer Austrian' properties which the Nazis seized, largely from Jews, after the Anschluss, and turned over to German tenants. Dr. Wilhelm, half -Jewish and owner of one of the seized properties, was directed to administer the property until its future disposition or return to its legal owners could be arranged.

Glamorous Barney, who formerly wore the world lightweight and welterweight crowns and who later became a Marine hero in the fierce fighting on Guadalcanal, gave himself up to Federal authorities yesterday and submitted to technical arrest in order that he might be cured of a' habit that was suspected by virtually no one in boxing. Without exception, members of the fight mod on "Jacobs Beach" were confident that the' ex-champ would conquer hisnew and menacing opponen--fecause "he's got a heart as big as a But theyjeouldn't understand why Barney- "a guy with a millyun was forced to demean Ibimself publicly to have his pngni exposea in tne newspapers in order to be treated for a habit he had contracted as a war casualty.

Honored By President For his heroism that night, Barney was raised from his private first class to sergeant; and he received the Silver Star and citation from President Roosevelt. But he got other things, too recurrent attacks of malaria and migraine headaches. Ross, and prematurely gray-haired, told the reporters, "About a year after I was discharged, the awful migraine headaches came back; and I had a return of malaria.

I resorted to the old drug treatment, but not being a doctor, I got in over my head. I got the habit Now, I've got to beat it the hard way" "I Got to Beat It" Barney said one of the big reasons for his seeking Government treatment was: "A lot of kids think I'm a helluva guy because I was a fighter. Well, I can't let 'em see me wind up as a dope fiend. I got to beat it." to men of. the fight mob, it's "a hunnert to one shot" that.

Mr. Wallen looked doubtfully at the red-headed Foster twins' "Now, he said optimistically, "you and your brother i are in Grade IX, aren't you?"

Lester and Leith Moore. Lester and Leith Moore are in Grade at Tech, but are begin-Ing their first year there. Although scientifically they're identical twins, in practice they have their differences. They look alike but in consideration for their befuddled friends, they seldom dress the same way. They both brightened up when they started talking about sports, but when school was mentioned, they said in unison, "Oh, that French!" Like Tom Sawyer.

'4 The two Foster boys whose red hair and freckles make them look like Tom Sawyer in duplicate, are also identical and, just to make things more difficult, they always wear the same clothes. The only time they can be told apart is when they're on hockey team. Lawrence plays goal and Leonard plays right wing. Or it the other way around? As for the two.Jeans the other identical set-6nly their family knows them. Their friends don't even try but when they wanr lhem, just call, "Hey.

It seems to us, redundantly, known as "fraternal" twins, don't even look alike. Ron and Don Valllllee, who were at Tech last year, are the second group of Vallillee twins to attend the school.

Their older brothers, Bob and Jack, have both returned from overseas where they served in the Army. Clayton and Lloyd Kenny are so dissimilar they don't even look like' brothers. Clayton is tall with Inky hair; Lloyd is shorter, stockier with fair hair. Clayton is taking a draughting course while Lloyd is in matriculation. However, they're good friends and often box together all in fun, they hasten to add.

And that's one boy, not one set. ft Certainly it's said Miss Esther FitzPatrick, secretary, "but, except for two sets, I can 'tell all the rest apart" The girls are establishing some kind of a record at the High School which has never before seen so many mirror-like twosomes in its halls at the same time.

'Jewish Leaders Talk of State With 2,1 nonmo Br EDWARD V.

ROBERTS. LONDON, Sept. 12. BUP) Jewish leaders in London seeking British support for an independent Zionist state in Palestine are talking in terms of a free Jewish nation with a population of within 20 years. While they have offered no concrete proposals for the Jewish State's boundaries, the Jewish leaders maintain it must be large enough tp be self-supporting.

1,800.000 In Palestine. The estimated current over-all population of Palestine is less than 2,000,000, including roughly 600.000 Jews and 1,200.000 Arabs. These leaders insisted that In the next five to 10 years another 750.000 Jews must leave Europe. Th. aairi th hllllr nt thorn would want to go to Palestine.

Keenly aware of Britain's military problem in defending the Suez Canal, the leaders said such a Jewish State would permit establishment of large scale British military installations within its border. Britain has offered to withdraw her troops from Egypt and has centred her Middle East military headquarters in Palestine. The Jews want the plan for an CUSsed at the current London Conference oil Palestine It was understood that the Arabs also are prepared to allow the British large military base concessions if Britain will agree to their plan for an independent Arab Palestine. British officials conceded pri- vately that the present conference sla raises the Palestine question before the United Nations. Many Jewish and Arab leaders are watching Russian manoeuvres i in Middle East diplomacy warily.

Some observers believe that Russian moves might bring the Arabs, Jews and British closer together. List Wives Continued from Page One. Mrs. Margaret E. Bates, wife of Major R.
