Parliament Takes y Grave View Of Dock Strike In London

Police Baffled By ‘

Assault . Case

OTTAWA, July 13 — (CP)_In what morality squad police called thc most baffling case they have tackled in years, the identification of the person who assaulted little Marie Giselle Lachance was still s mystery tonight.

Police, after questioning more than 200 people, told reporters that they have swung back to their or- iginal theory that it was an adult sex maniac who stripped the 28- months-old girl Monday, ,tied her to a shed rafter and assaulted her.

The child, still in hospital, fold her small, dark mother yesterday it was “some bad little boys" who did it. That provoked a wide series of interviews with boys in the lower town neighborhood where thc'Lachances live.

But Inspector Ubaid Sauve, head of the morality squad, said today Marie Giselle is too young and im- wessionabie to be of any material help to them. She would answer in the affirmative to anything they

asked her. '

LONDON. July 13—<c1>)— The House of Commons tonight gave overwhelming endorsement to the proclamation of a stato of national emergency in Britain to cope with the worsening dock strike which Prime Minister Attiee has said may “gravely. . . injure the economy of this country at a critical time in its history."

Both the Government and Op- position parties united to pass a motion for an address of thanks to the King for his emergency pro- clamation Monday’. The vote was 435 to 4.

The Commons, by a vote of 412 to 4, also approved the emergency regulations drafted by Home Sec- retary James Chuter Ede under which a five-man emergency com- mittee will run the London docks.

These regulations, based on the Emergency Act of 1920, gives the committee every possible power to

dispatch cargoes, to keep order and to resume the full flow of com- merce and supplies.

The emergency proclamation is

valid for a week. But Parliament can extend it a month. During the debate Anthony Eden. deputy Conservative leader, backed tho Government's step, although he said his party has reservations about the Government's handling cf the strike.

Earlier Attlee called for a finish fight against the dock strikers who he says are being misled by "Ccm- munists and fellow travellers."

He told the Commons the Gov- ernment will never submit to let- ting the strike leaders decide which ships they-would work in London's docks.

Tonight Labor Minister George Isaacs appealed in a brofldliflfli

Fight Ruled 0ui As Cause of Crash

IDS ANGELES, July 13-—(AP)— The possibility that a fight aboard an airliner caused a crash bringing death to 35 and injuries to 14 was apparently ruled out today.

District-Attorney Arthur Waite of Venture County said a surviving stewardess of the C-46 transport. which crashed in the Santa Susana Mountains yesterday, told him the fight between the two men occur- red more than an hour or so be- fore the'crash.

James Peyton, an inspector for the Civil Aeronautics Board who is conducting an investigation, said the plane apparently was making a normal approach for a landing at Lockheed air terminal, Burbank, and was on course except that it was "too low."

System For

Rate Making Purposes Proposed For Maritimes

(By John LeBianc)

HALIFAX, July 13—-(CP)—A11 in- dependent raiiway system within the Maritimes for the making of freight rates was recommended to the Royal Commission on Trans- portation today by the Maritime Board of Trade.

The board proposed that C.N.'R. lines in this area be designated as a separate company for rate-making which would facilitate the reducing cf rates, and it also suggested that the C.P.R. be reimbursed for losses it might suffer under such a pol-

C)’.

Other recommendations of the Maritime Board were:

The Board of Transport Commis- sioners should have greater regula- tory powers over the railways,

2. These powers should be used to help sections of Canada to over- come the handicaps of distance from markets and supply, to help the movement of basic commodities and lessen the impact of freight- rate increases on consumers.

3. Basic commodities including foods should be exempted from uni- form percentage rate increases such as that awarded the railways last year.

The Board's 50.000-word submis- sion was read by Rand H. Math-

_ eson of Monctcn, N.B., its trans-

portation manager. Mr. Mathescn was only part way through the sub-- mission at adjournment late today.

The commission under Hon. W. F. A. Turgeon, High Commissioner to Ireland, has been sitting here for two days in its general investi- gation into Canadian transportation problems, From here, it goes to Fredericton and then Charlotte- town.

Seen Final Warning lo Red Followers

VATICAN CITY. July 13 --(CP) —The Vatican tonight issued a papal decree which was interpret- ed by a high digri-itary of the Church as meaning that all Rom- an Catholics who are willing Oom- mulzists are automatically excom-

municated.

But some informed Vaticsn sources interpreted the decree's wordinB to be in effect a last warning to Roman Catholics who still may defend or follow Com- munism. They saw in its wording s. "period of grace" for such per- sons to remove the stigma. of Com- munism from their consciences and return wholeheartedly to the Church

There was no such explicit reservation, however, in the un- officially-translated text of the decree.

The order appeared to be aimed at stirring the consciences of Roman Catholics who have stray- ed to the Communist fold. The Vatican radio tonight began ur- lng it out to the world in a ozen lan ages.

nder usual Vatican custom, a decree also is transmitted to many hundreds of bishops through- out the world. They 1n turn spread it through their dioceses to

e faithful.

The excommunication was an- nounced in an historic decree of the Sacred Congregation of the Holv Office.

The Congregation of the Holy Office is a body of Cardinals charged with the protection of t-he Roman Catholic faith.

The excbmmunicstion was levied against Communists in ‘precise terms. The Holy Office ecided that “Christian faithful who pro- fess the materialistic and anti- Chrislian doctrine of the Com- munists. and. 1n the first place. those who defend it (Communist doctrine) or propagate it, incur, lpso facto. because they are a. states from the Catholic faith, t e excommunication reserved es-

iy"‘to the Holy See."' This is major excommunication.
