TorontoPress Persist In Accuracy Of Coalition Rumor.

(AP. by Guardian's Special Wire)

TORONTQMay 4-'I'he Toronto Dally Star today quoted a source "whose knowledge 0t‘ the facts and reliability leave the Star without doubt of its accuracy" as saying:

"Mr. Hepburn (Premier Hep- burn of Ontario) made the propo- sal to Mr. Rowe (Conservative Provincial Lender) for a Union Government for Ontario. It is true also that Mr. Hepburn prom- ised Mr. Rowe the right to name half the members in the cabinet and even thc Premiership if he really wanted it".

The newspaper quoted this source as saying the proposal was made after the Oshawa strikethat Mr. Rowe telephoned Federal Conservative Leader R. B. Bennett and Senator Arthur Melshcn. rind that Mr. Bennett advised again-st acceptance because “there was n0 crisis, no excuse for it".

The Evening Telegram in a dis- patch from its Ottawa correspon- dent says: "Expectation of a gen- eral election in Ontario in the near future was voiced by some Federal Libernls today".

The dispatch said the report in Ottawa was that the union “offer" contemplated:

“1. Conservatives to have half the seats in the cabinet.

"2. Conservatives to have half the candidates for the legislature supporting the union party“. (In event of an election).

“3. Hon. Earl Rowe. if neces- sary. to be Premier and Mr. Hep- burn retiring".

British Agents Un- earth Secret Radio Station And Arms Smuggling Syndi- cater.

JAFFA. Palestine. May 4- (AP) -—A'n amazing story of a. secret radio station, death in an orange grove, vanishing witnesses and secret societies led police today to conclude they had unearthed an international syndicate for smug- gling arms.

Central ﬁgure in the fantastic story is Reuben Schenzvit, who once suld arms in South America for the late Sir Basil Zalraroﬂ, Europe's munitions merchant.

Schcnzvit was given p-elimina y hearing before British Magistrate Paget Bourke today on a charge of slaying Jacob Zwanger. 50-year- old Russian Jew and one-time Soviet v‘ c-commlssar of harbors. Scllenzvit denied the charges.

Police charged that the actual

slayer was Abdul Khader, an Arab employed by Schenzvlt and in jail here. The Arab has admitted killing the Russian and alleged that Schcnzvit ordered him to do so, dctoctivcs said.

Directed Secret Society

Zwanger had directed the Hag- onah, secret Jewish Self Defence Society. The Society was so or- gunized that each member knew only his immediate superior, and none of his fellow members.

Police believed the man was slain because he knew of opera- tions hy a foreign espionage ser- vice. Quickly. the Royal Airforce Intelligence Service took charge of the investigation.

Schenzvllls house contained a powerful. unlicensed radio, a doz- en microphones and dictographs
