all Is Adiudged Preferred Creditor

1 0f lavittjompany

The Royal Bank of Canada suc- ceeded in its claim yesterday to be ,-. preferred creditor of the bank- ,-upt Lavitt Potato Company Ltd., and entitled to be reimbursed out at the yLOCOOdI of fire insurance policies already paid into Court

Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell delivered judgment yesterday on an application of the Eastern Trust Company. as trustee of the nstatc of the debtor for release of the proceeds of five insurance pol- Ecies. The bank intervened and the hearing proceeded on the basis that it would decide on the valid- iiy of tiie assignment of. the pol- icies to the bank. p

Five policies. totalling 350.000 were involved and the fire loss wiiicii occurred Jan. 31. 1950. was ndjusted at s23.2i7.o4. which amount was paid into Court by the insurers. The policies had been assigned to the bank and the in- surers had given their consent to pay the proceeds "to the bank as assignee of the right of payment."

The bank continued to advance money to the Lavitt Potato Com-

pany after the fire and this amounted to 0629.3 on July 11. 1950 when the firm went into b kru toy-

aghe ghief Justice ruled that the authorities make it clear that

"niiere the assignment is only of the sum payable and not of the coiitracted indemnity. no question arises as to the avoidance of the policy by reason of the assignces want of interest in the subject matter." It was thus immaterial that the bank tool: no interest in the insured property at the tine oi the assignment. As the bank urns entitled. in Equltv. to receive all the insurance proceeds, it could retain the full 3529.23 incurred up in the time of t-he assignment in raiikruptcy. The Chief Justice not- vd that there was no question of fraudulent intent involved. Costs were allowed.

Counsel for the claimant was Mr. H. F. MacPhce. K.c.. for the trustee. Mr. C. R. Mcoziiaid.

Big Layoffs In Automobile Plants

DETROIT. July 19 - (AP) -- The old "speed-up" bugaboo has reared its head again today to harass automobile industry pro- duction -- as it always does in times of layofk.

Production standards as they are known formally in labor circles. made idle nearly 30.000 workers at Three Chrysler Corp. plants.

These came on top of product- lon cutbacks which already have trimmed far more than 50,000 from the industry's payrolls and will keep more than 150,000 oth- ers idle for a week or two shortly.

Material shortages and. to a lesser extent, it dwindling of car sales blamed on government con- trols have been responsible for the non-strike layoffs.

About 15,000 day-shift orp- ployees at Chrysleris Dodge main plant in neighboring Hamtrsmck stayed away. as pickets ringed the factory. Strikers protested lay- off of two men accused of fall- ing to meet production standards.

MEXUJTEETING

'ried back to advance Allied head- quarters in Korea after spending several days in Tokyo.

Correspondents said Ridgwayls unexpected return to Korea Thursday afternoon might fore- ahadow important new develop- ments within two days or less.

Here. briefly. was the cease- fire picture:

1. The U. N. and North Korean- Chinese negotiating teams have agreed on all items for an agenda except one.

2. The disputed item -- official- ly undisclosed but probably deal- ing with the rcmoval of foreign troops -- has been characterized as a political matter. Conse- quently. it is out of the hands of the Allied representatives. who are authorized to take up only military matters. .

3. Should this item be dropped by mutual consent, or a com- promise effected. the conferees could go right on to the question of halting the fighting on the Korean Peninsula.

The communique. issued Thurs- day night. lent credence to the belief that withdrawal of foreign troops was the crux of the talks.

It said that after the senior Communist delegate. North Ko- rean Gen. Nam Il. addressed the conference on the proposed Red agenda. .Vice-Admiral Charles Turner Joy. chief Allied del- egate. "reiterated the U. N. stand that only matters of a military nature could be discussed."

The communique said the ne- gotiators "continued with discus- sions of the same subject." then adjourned with "no progress" having been made.

It was the first time the con- servatively-toned daily commun- ique had reported lack of pro- gress.

Describing Thursday's the spokesman. Lt.-Col. Preston, said:

"Each side was very emphatic on its stand. Never have I heard the same thing stated in so many different ways than today. Each statement was Just. as emphstic-- even more so-than the previous one.

He said it was possible that the two sides could disagree ovcr wvheiher a. subject was military or political. He added the one basic item "could be settled to- morrow if ltis going to be settled."

Thus far the negotiators have reached agreement on all other issues proposed for the agenda. This probably includes the ex- change of prisoners. the time a cease-fire should be declared, the boundaries of a buffer zone. the significance of the 38th parallel in the future and possibly even the question of supervision of enemy territory by neutral groups during the cease-fire.

while in other cases the potatoes are just coming through in dist- ricts of late planting. There is no question that our acreage has been decreased to at. least 35 per cent with seed acreage down almost 40 per cent.

"I have already statid through the press my feeling that the re- ducilon may be ll. little too drastic. nnd we could very well find our- selves in a tight spot to supply market requirements during the coming season. Production of potatoes right across Canada will likely bear the same relationship to last year's acreage as it does in our own Province.

"The present type of weather experienced in Eastern Canada is favourable to blight development. and should such weather conditions persist and blight gets a good start, this condition accompanied with reduced acreage and the un- certainties associated with tote planted areas. might combine to bring about a serious reduction in potato supplies, if not a scarcity.

In any event. it is very unsafe to prophesy at the present time what is going to happen six months hence. on the other hand the season right across this country may be exceptionally fav- ourable to potato production and we could have more potatoes than our outlets would absorb. As al- ready intimated. however. I test that our reduction in many cases of acreage is being carried rather too far.

"One thing we are rfectly safe in advising. and that .5 that potato producers should be on the to protect their potato areas -from blight attack. There is no report as far as I am aware. -up to the present time. of any evidence of blight. but nevertlieleei, in view of the general situation. and weather condttionl. aivrayers rid materials should be ready so that cotton may be teketliat I tncInclit'I notice in the way of control. and our posit-

ion in the potato market be pro- tected as a result.".

Italians Weldime To Canada

O'ITAWA. July in -(OP) -An immigration department official said today that any "suitable. and desirable" Italians are welcome to Canada as immigrants.

He was commenting on is news dispatch from United Nations. N. L. which last night quoted Giorgio Fadda. an cxpert from the Italian Labor Ministry. as saying that Canada is able to take millions more people. "but the Canadians don't seem to be willing to open their doors." .

The official said the comment was typical of a person looking at Canada from abroad. seeing a large country with only ll few mil- lion people. The remarks usually came from people who did not know Canadian geography or cli- matic conditions.

There is no quota on the num- ber of Italians allowed into Cari- ada. 'since the end of the second World War about 26.350 Itallaiis have been admitted as immigriints.
