WELLAND, Fla. (AP) - Donald J. Wedler Tuesday signed a state- ment that he killed Marilyn Shep- pard. a Cleveland lawyer for Dr. Samuel Sheppard sported.

William Corrlgan said the 23- year-old Florida convict "win ingly signed the statement in the presence of sheriff's deuties How- ard Demoti and Jack 1.ynady."d

The lawyer's belief in Wedler's story is directly opposed to con- clulons of Cleveland police of- ficials when they talked with the' prisoner a week ago.

Dr. Samuel Gerber. coroner of Cnyahoge County, Ohio. and James McArthur. former chief of Cleveland detectives. said Wedler knew only as much about the sen- sational July 4. 1954. slaying case as he might have read in news- papers and magasines.

Mr. Alfred S. Tait, Regional Director of Old Age Security. Charlottetown. announces that to- day 7,012 Old Age Security Pen- sioners ln P.E.l. will receive out of Federal Government funds. cheques in the amount of 346.00. This is the only increase in pay- ments since the first cheques were issued in the month of Jan- uary, 1952.

The 86.00 monthly increase rep- resents an increased Federal ex- penditure on P.E.l. of 842,072.00 for the month of July, 1957. At that rate Old Age Security pen- sioners in this province will be receiving increases amounting to over half a million dollars during the next twelve months. The a- mount paid out to pensioners in P.E.l. this month totals 8328.690.- 00

Old Age Security Pensions. pro- vided by the Government of Can- ada. under the Old Age Security Act, 1951, are payable to all per-

To avoid delay in receipt of p e n a io is, however. application should be made to the office of Regional Director.

post office.

Cases have been coming to the attention of the Regional Director's office where prospective applic- ants have delayed frowarding their application forms because it was thought necessary to submit with the application a birth certificate to prove age.

If the applicant's binh is not al- ready registered with the Provin- clnl Vital Statistics authotities. it is unnessary to do so before reg- istering for Old Age Security. The Regional Director urges all per- sons who qualify under the exist- ing legislation to apply as soon as possible after the person becomes 69 1-2 years of age even though no documentary evidence of age is available at the time.

If no evidence of age is sent a- long with the completed ,,” ion form. the regional office will give direction and assistance to

any applicant as to what steps are to be taken to obtain and pro- duce evidence of age for Old Age Security purposes.

Everything was set for the

first royal launching from the William Denny and Brothers yard. But protocol went by the board when Alexandra. Queen Elizabeth's cousin. arrived. in- stead of climbing the steps up the dais she walked around the ship, talking to men knocking out the last of the ship's bilge blocks.

When the launching cere- mony started Alexandra grab- bed the diampagne bottle and gave a hefty heave. it didn't break.

Alexandre burst into fits of laughter a chairman Edward J. Denny put up his umbrella to protect her from the non-

' shower of champagne On the second try the bottle broke.

The order to launch was given. But the ship did not budge as a jet of water shot out from beneath the launch- in platform.

workmen scurried about to patch up the leaking hydraulic launching system. Finally the ship slid gently down the run- ways into the sea. Later Alex- andra said: "l thought it was never going to go. it was wonderful to see her going down at last." .

Higher Tariff

most parts of Canada. says thati unless higher tariff protection is. provided for producers in this country. United States producers soon will dominate the whole Cana- dian market.

"We have lost all control of our prices." M. M. Robinson of To- ronto. president of the ". told. the tariff board Tuesday. "Our prices are controlled entirely by American imports.”

in its brief to the board, the council gave shipment details of various fruits and vegetables which it said show "the trend to- ward complete domination of the horticultural field by American produiers - unless something is done and done quickly to give the Canadian producer some encour- agement so far as tariff protection and farm costs are concerned."

The council seeks a variety of increases in tariffs. mostly in sea- aonal ones. and in the periods such tariffs apply. it also urges that the revenue minister set so - called "fair market values" as a basis for assessing duty against imports.

The idea is that products shipped into Canada at prices below these "fair market values" would come under stiffer-than-otherwise duties.

N0 SUISIDIES

The council said Canadian grow- ers don't want subsidies. These would not solve thek problems since most fruits and vegetables can't be stored long and subsidies did not encourage efficient produc- tion or marketing.

"We feel that a system of mini- mum fair market values will go a long way to solve the problem."

The " blamed U.S. agricul- ture for having built up large surpluses in that country that now are being marketed to the detriment of Canadian grow-

us.

By selling these surpluses at cut rates or giving them away in onel way or another. the U.S. was vio- lating "the spirit if not the actual word of trade agreements."

But the U.S. government "has not allowed this to stand in the way of its attempt to dominate world trade. a ruthlessly egress- lve economic imperialism."

The council was firs of several interests to be heard by the tariff board studying the whole question of fruit and vegetable tariffs. The board has been asked to recom- mend to the government specific changes in any existing rates the board feels need revision.

The council brief covers almost every fruit and vegetable that ap- pears on the Canadian table. It asks for higher tariffs on. among a host of other items. tomatoes” cumbers. a p r l c n t s. peaches. pears and corn on the cob.

The council said American pro- ducers can ship their fruits and vegetables at lower freight rates than Canadian producers. The Am- erican producers also had the ad vantage of the Canadian dollar's current premium rate. This is about five per cent above the Am- erican dollar and the council said this difference in some cases re- moves the effetcivcness of exist- ing Canadian duties.
