25, ol London. was fatally injured Thursday when the light plane he was testing crashed near the municipal golf course here. Corbett, who was employed by Execaire Limited at the London Airport, was believed to have been working on an aircraft owned by Walter Scott of RR 7, Strathroy before taking it up for a test flight. Corbett was to have been married Sept. 30 to Jean Wal-per of Grand Bend.

The marriage licence, which he took out at London's city hall Thursday, was found in the wrecked plane. building the barricades far to the rear of the tunnel and away from the blast. Hanna said the trio refused to join his crew in heading toward the rear of the tunnel. Mrs. John PinalL told by authorities her husband's body was too badly charred to identify, turned to a sheriffs deputy and commented bitterly: "Maybe next time they will put dog tags on them." Then she burst into tears.

Hanna and McKinney left their hospital beds when the rescue operations were suspended. They wanted to go into the mine to assist workers, but the firm refused because of their ordeal. Hanna, shortly before, had walked out of the hospital, telling McKinney: "We know where those guys are, let's go get 'em."

When Paul McKinney and Donald Hanna started out the tunnel toward safety Wednesday, they came across a rup tured airline leading back to the other five. They paused to fix it, weren't able to get the ends completely together, but came close.

It was enough. Trueman propped himself up on one elbow in a hospital bed, turned to Hanna in the same room, and said: "You may have got us only a little air with that patch job on the line, but boy it was enough." "It was the best we could do, Tom," Hanna replied. Trueman said the trapped miners could only wait for the rescue they were certain would come. "There wasn't much to do down there," he said. "I guess we didn't do anything." But Eslick said it wasn't as simple as that.

"We were nearly hysterical at one point," be said. "But fortunately it passed." He apologized to his wife and daughter with: "I'm sorry that you all had to go through such an ordeal." Eslick's daughter, Trudy, 20, laughed and said: "Dad, you look just about like you do when you come home from hunting." Ironically, three of the vic tims might still be alive if they had joined the original seven in Grid Star New Consul OTTAWA (CP) John C. (Bubs) Britton, one-time Queen's University football star who later helped export ice hockey to Africa and Asia, was ap pointed Thursday Canada's con sul-general in Los Angeles. Within the next few weeks, possibly in time for a World Senes date, he'll be taking up his new post after three years as commercial counsellor in the Canadian Embassy in The Hague. Interviewed here during a brief stopover between jobs, he reflected on a sporting career that made him one of Canada's outstanding athletes in the 1920s.

He is probably best known as a member of the fabulous university team which ran up a four-year win streak of 27 games and contributed directly to entrenching football as a popular crowd-drawer in Eastern Canada. KEMP RETURNS GUELPH (CP) The executive of the newly-organized Guelph entry in the Ontario Hockey Association senior series elected former senior star Bud Kemp Thursday as president of the still-nameless hockey club. WITH CONFIDCNCC APPLIANCES 4Alf(CfflC3 419 mJSSIER ST. CL 4-2571 South Africa announced today it will return a colored (mixed-blood) doctor to the British protectorate of Bechuanaland from which the physician alleged he was kidnapped. The announcement was made by Justice Minister Balthazar Vorster.

He said Dr. Kenneth Abrahams and three other men would be taken back to Bechuanaland. Abrahams, 26, has alleged he and his three companions were kidnapped by South African police from the" British protectorate. He had fled, there from Southwest Africa last month. The British government has expressed "serious concern" over the case of Abrahams, who has been held here on charges under The Suppression of Communism Act.

Vorster said the four men would be returned "in the interest of good neighborly relations with the governments of neighboring states." In an affidavit submitted to the supreme court, where Abrahams" case was being heard today, Vorster said he had established to his satisfaction that there was no foundation for the allegation that the physician was abducted by South African police. Holdup Plot Imprisons 3 TORONTO (CP) Three men from western Ontario who said they came to Toronto "to pull a holdup" were sentenced to pen itentiary terms Thursday. Douglas PastelL 26, of Kitch ener received four years. Pat rick Blakemore. 28.

also of Kitchener received 3V4 years while his brother, William, 30, of Guelph was sentenced to three years. All pleaded guilty to conspir ing to rob, breaking and enter ing and having an offensive weapon. Police said they picked the trio up here last week carry ing silk stockings cut down for masks, pistols and tape. The men had driven to Toronto after breaking into a Kitchener cottage last month. Police arrested them before they could steal money to pay for a $160 repair bill when their car broke down.

Graft Won't Take MIAMI, Fla. (AP) A 49-vear- old Miami butcher was to have his arm amputated today six days after it was sewed back following an accident with a meat-slicer. His doctor said the circulation never flowed properly below the elbow, where the blade nearly severed the arm last Saturday. Otherwise, the butcher, Alfred Bennett, was reported in good condition. Lawyer Says He'll Not Quit Job LONDON, Ont, (CP) London lawyer George T.

Mitches denied Thursday that he intends to resign as returning officer for the provincial riding of London South. He also denied any "political connotation" in his dispute with London restaurateur Alexander Jefferies over fees for work done in connection with a liquor licence application. A report published in Toronto Thursday said Mr. Mitches had indicated he would resign, and linked the move with the dispute. Mr.

Mitches, reached in Toronto, denied he ever told any one he planned to resign as re turning officer. In a speech Tuesday night in Niagara Falls, Ontario Liberal Leader Wintermeyer said there was a legal action pending in London "which, if proceeded with, may at long last reveal publicly the mysterious process by which liquor licences are obtained in Ontario under the Tory regime." A Wintermeyer aide said Thursday the Liberal leader had been referring to the Mitches action. In an affidavit filed with the Ontario Supreme Court registrar here opposing payment of the fees, Mr. Jefferies said Mr. Mitches contracted to obtain a liquor licence for the Cobblestone Inn and an approval of a transfer of ownership the fees to be paid only when the applications were successful.

Mr. Jefferies said the lawyer was working for Marianna Catering Services Limited, and not for him personally. Parade (Continued from Page Three) ing units will not be known until parade time but Mr. Murphy was optimistic. "We can count on a large number," he said.

"Windsor labor always turns out in force and we have had excellent showings over the years." Various other commercial units, representing all types of trades in the Windsor area, will be included in the parade. The parade will be beaded by the Detroit Fire Department color party. Representatives of the Windsor and Detroit departments will follow. Several pieces of fire apparatus will be included, and "Pop-eye" will ride in his customary position high atop a big aerial ladder truck. Following addresses by representatives of organized labor, the 34th annual Fire Fighters' Field Day program will continue.

Floats will be judged at the conclusion of the parade. Driver Killed, ,2 Children Hurt GREENWOOD, Ont. (CP) Claude DeMille Beaumont, 31, of nearby Toronto, was killed and his two children were injured Thursday when his car left Highway 7 east of here and struck a tree.

Expected to participate in the roundtable conference during the four days are Trade Minister Sharp, Industry Minister Drury, External Affairs Minister Martin, Labor Minister Mac-Eachen, Privy Council President Lamontagne, Finance Minister Gordon and Health Minister LaMarsh. CLC President Claude Jodoin or one of his senior officers is also slated to enter the round-table conference. Louis Ras-minsky, governor of the Bank of Canada, leaders of Quebec and Ontario as well as Canadian banking and business leaders will also take part Split Seen In Cabinet OTTAWA (CP) Informed sources say an intramural cabinet argument is shaping up over the extent to which defence pro jects should be geared to the capabilities and needs of Canadian industry. The chief disputants are In dustry Minister Charles Drury and Defence Minister Paul Hellyer. Mr.

Drury has said that Can ada's military functions should be more closely geared to the country's industrial economy and research activities. Such a course, he has said, wonld provide a counter-attraction to the United States for the Canadian scientific community and help alleviate the balance-of-payments problem. Mr. Hellyer has said he is mindful of the needs of Canadian industry. But he has indicated that he is opposed to adoption of any defence project where the main government considerations were those of industry and not those of the armed forces.

In short, the state of industry should not dictate defence policy. Mr. Hellyer is said not opposed to useful make-work pro jects provided the essential needs of the services have first been met. Reaume (Continued from Page Three) of things that have been accom plished since that "swift kick in the pants" was the opening of the tourist centre in Windsor. He said, "It has been open for five months and they found out recently in Toronto that it was open and came down.

I'm glad they did because it was long overdue." "When a Liberal government takes power in the province we shall make haste to bring to our people the things they deserve," he said. Of which, "one striking thing that must come is the Highway 401," he added. Mr. Reaume promised a lively, steamed-up election with nothing to hide. In talking about his opponent, Progressive Con servative candidate, Gordon R.

Stewart, mayor of Riverside, he said, "True he's a wonderful fellow but they call him high water, high taxes Stewart." 'Short Course' INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

There is no transcript of the proceedings, no members of the press are admitted and no state-1 ments are made to outsiders about what goes on inside the conference itself.

Members of the roundtable consider themselves as students seeking to learn about Canada, its problems, plans and hopes. The roundtable has gathered at least once a year since 1956, meeting the top government leaders of Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Italy, Britain, Spain, Mexico and France. It Bracci (Continued from Page One) Conservative Association. Be cause the population is less than 1,000, there is no elected council. Mr.

Wintermeyer said Munici pal Affairs Minister Spooner had declined to investigate Mr. Bracci's administration despite requests for an investigation made by the community Roman Catholic and Anglican priests. He also claimed that Mr. Bracci had purchased 1,500 feet of frontage on the Trans- Canada Highway in 1959 two months before the Ontario high ways department's purchase of the route past White River was registered at the land titles office. Mr.

Bracci said the land where the highway runs had been farmed by his family "years before the Ttans-Canada Highway was ever thought of." "In fact we have been in negotiation with the CPR for the last 12 years over who had title to the lands where the highway is now." (In Toronto, Highways Minister McNaughton told a press conference that Mr. Bracci could not have been "privy" in 1959 to information about the proposed highway route as Mr. Wintermeyer charged, because the route was public informa tion as far back as 1950.) "That he could have been privy to secret information about the westerly route of this section of the Trans Canada Highway in 1959 is nonsense," Mr. McNaughton said. "The survey line for" that stretch was cut 13 years ago.

What's more, grading of the road began in 1955." Mr. Bracci also denied Mr. Wintermeyer's claim that a 000 municipal grant had been made illegally to a curling rink, restricted to members, in which Mr. Bracci had a financial interest. The rink was built "as a com munity project," Mr.

Bracci said. "The club is run by the Lion's Club, of which I'm a member. I have no financial interest in it. I merely guaranteed the note to help out the club. "Also, any kid can use the rink.

The gift of $2,000 by the improvement district was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board because it was a commu nity project." Mr. Wintermeyer said he dealt with the White River situation in his campaign speech because it was typical of the history of Conservative development in Northern Ontario. Premier Robarts said Thurs day that a full-scale investiga tion of Mr. Wintermeyer's claim will be held, but adf'ed that Mr Spooner had looked into the sit uation last June and the con elusion he reached was that this man (Mr. Bracci) had not used his office for any improper pur pose." Coolish Saturday of 10 to 18 knots are expected in the north half with westerly winds of 8 to 15 knots in the south half.

Winds will be north at 10 to 18 knots over the entire lake tonight under cloudy skies with showers expected. cc a son if (Dm BACK-TO-SCMOOIL SIHKDIPIPnMCE!

Nelson was asked about a bureau of mines statement that three of four previous fatalities at the mine were preventable. "I don't believe 111 comment on that, but I don't buy it," he said. He said some of the 18 victims of the mine apparently were killed instantly by the blast, that others died later of carbon monoxide poisoning. The bodies of three men were found with their heads in a ventilation pipe, apparently in a pathetic effort to get air. The final maximum effort to save 15 miners trapped in the mine ended in triumph and tragedy Thursday night first with the dramatic rescue of five survivors after 49 hours, then the discovery of the last 10 bodies.

The five were found in surprisingly good condition in the same deep tunnel from which two other men escaped alive Wednesday morning, the day after 25 were caught 3,000 feet down by an explosion. The five who came up safely included Thomas Trueman, 35, of Toronto, and Charles Byrge and Charles Clark, identified as men who had formerly worked tor the International Minerals and Chemicals potash mine at Esterhazy, Sask. The other two were Robert June of Helper, Utah, and Grant Eslick of Moab. The 18 dead were not imme diately identified, but several Canadians were presumed to be among them. Among those earlier identified as being trapped, and who were not among the seven rescued, were Emille LeBlanc and Wes ley Barber of Elliot Lake, Keith Shear of Toronto, Rene Koy of North Bay, and William Huzil of Yorkton, Sask.
