Canadian Sales To Britain Down

iCPi-Canada's com-

mercial iiouiisellor in London sayaitectire that Britniii has removed a lot of'annually to

her import controls. but this has not led to any over-all strength- ening of Canada's exports to that country

R. P. Bower, writing in the of- ficial trade department publica- tion. Foreitzn Trude. estimated that Britain's imports from Canada for the first nine months of 1954 drop- ped to .f.'l92.l60000 from 2228.286.- J00 last ;.ear

"Many of the products covered by United Kingdom trade liberal- ization nieusiires have improved

their piisitioii on the British mar-

ket." he sud. ”but these gains have been ziioie than wiped out by loilcr prices for many Cana- dian exports--pirticulai'ly cereals --and by some less serious reduc- tions in the volume and value of others ”

Manslaughter Charge Dismissed

In Magistrates Court yesterday morning. Ma.giai.rai.e Gilbert A. Gaudet refused to commit Francis Cecil Molyneaux for trial for manslaughter and dismissed the information.

The case came up for judgment following preliminary hearing, and an adjournment on Nov. 3 to en- able Magistrate Gaudet to consider the evidence.

After countering the various points in the Criminal Code regard- ing preliminary enquiries and the duty of a Maglstrain in that re- spect, and after having considered the whole evidence of the prosecu- lion and defence. Mr. Onudet con- sidered there was not sufficient evidence to merit putting the sc- cusod on trial for nisnslnuglitsr. Mr. J. P. Nicholson appeared for the Crown arid Mr. R. R. Boll, QC. represented the accused.

The charge arose as 3 result of the findings in an inquest at which the jury reported that "John Joseph Mcxenna came to his death on Sept. 2'1. 1954. on the Prince Nova while on route to Camp Hill Hospital. Halifax. as a result of head Injuries Sept. 15. 1904. at Roy Molyneituira farm. Brndalbane. when matured in fighting with Cecil .Vlolyneaux."

OTTAWA (CP) - A top official of tiie publicly-owned CAR. Wed- iic.-iuay said the healui of Canadas railway uioustry can ba iniproveu only oy giving the railways free- dom to set competitive rates.

CNR. made the atateuieni. before the one-man royal commis- sion conducting an inquiry into the controversial issue of agreed charges special low contract rates given by the railway: in re- turn ior a guaranteed port.on of a sii.ppers business.

Mr. Fairwcather said Canadian railways are suffering from too much regulation. Shippers should be allowed to choose the type of tiaiispurtatioti best suited to their requireinents and pocketbooks.

He said all restrictions on the i'oLaDliSlImenL. publlcailun and ef- fectiveness of competitive rates should be removed except the pro- vision that they be published. These rates are set by the rail- uays. but they have to show the

board of transport coiiiniiss.oners that the rates ale iieccssary to meet cnnipetition and are coni-

PEHSQ IOl'j'. STIM l'LATE DE VELOPMENT

Mr. Fairvieather sazd he agreed that rates should continue to be iegulated in the non-competitive fields vihere the railviaya hold a transportation monopoly. It was essential that .n this field rates should be suffii-ientiy low to stim- ulate development and production.

However. the railways could con- tinue to do this economically only if they received freedom to rip- erate in the competitive field.

Mr. Fairueather said there "is no other conclusion but that the

Dr. Sheppard's . Murder Trial ls Continuing

By ARTHUR EVERETT

CLEVELAND iAPi-The state, seeking to knock down Dr. Samuel Sheppard's alibi in his wife's slay- inl. drew from a woman witness Wednesday the statement that Sheppard knew a head injury "was the hardest to evaluate."

The implication. in the state's own words. ivas that he knew how to "Pretend" such an injury.

The osteopath is being tried in the July 4 slaying of his pregnant wife. Marilyn. 31. He claims she was killed by a stranger who knocked him out and seriously in- jured his head and neck.

It is the state's claim that any injuries Sheppard suffered that night were trivial--although he

ywore his neck in a brace for weeks 1173009

afterwards. SISTER IN ACCIDENT Mrs. Esther Houk. a family

friend. testified as I state witness that a sister of hers was in an last spring. The sister's auto was damaged but she was un- hurt. The sister's insurance did not completely cover the damage. She said she discussed Wiih Sheppard.

Assistant prosecutor Saul Dana- ceau asked:

”Did he participate in a convers- ation the subject of which was how to pretend a head injury?"

- ”He said that. as a doctor. he knew a head injury was the hard- est to evaluate." replied Mrs. Hniik over strong defence objec- tions. "It pertained to the insur- ance in the case of an accident and. where there was no obvious injury. a head injury could be eas- ily claimed as far as the insurance was concerned.

RELATES THEORY

Mrs. I-louk'a husband, Mayor Spencer Hook of Bay Village. where the Sheppards' home is lo- cated on the shores of Lake Erie. preceded his wife to the stand. He testified he once appealed to Dr. Sheppard to confess the slaying if he was the murderer.

"I figure if it was done by you. it was done in a bitter rage,” Houk said he told Sheppard after the slaying. "Sam replied that he couldn't have done it. he hadn't done it."

Houk releated a theory advanced to the Sheppard family that a mad- man -- a schizophrenic - perhaps had killed Marilyn. Such a person. Houk said. could be either a total stranger to the family or a close friend.

Construction Activity Continues

There has been no widespread letdown in employment as yet. though seasonal layoffs have oc- curred here and there in the Prov- ince, according to the Charlotte- town National Employment Office.

Benefit claims on file at the close of business yesterday totalled just under 600 which was slightly below the figures of one year ago

The number of claims. say Em- ployment oificials. could increase quickly if the weather became cold or blustery. For instance. the fish- ing fleet working out of Souris. where draggers have transformed this occupaidon into 8. real in- dustry, would be forced to auspend operations and mean the release of many factory workers ashore. These -workers. almost 200 all told. usually file claims for Unemploy- mam Insurance benefits as soon as they become separated from em- ployment since they have no op- portunity of returning to work for several iiionths.

Blustery weather would also ter- minate all work on highways. and contribute to the increase of sea- sonal unemployment.
