4 More Bodies Of Flood Victims 'Are Recovered

TORONTO, (OP) - Four more bodies were recovered during the week-end as more than 1.500 men searched the flood-stricken Hum- ber valley.

The victoms were among 79 per- sons known to have died in On- tario during the storm and flood Oct. Id. The bodies of i7 of the known dead have not yet been recovered.

Included among those discovered today were David Palmateer, 42. and Angus Small. 44. two of five volunteer firemen who were drowned when their truck was carried away by flood waters.

DESTROYI.-ID HOMES

Also recovered was the body of Darlene Neil. 5. drowned when the Humber river destroyed a row of homes on Eaymore Drive in the western suburb of Etobicoke.

The fourth body was identified as that of Helen Gillan, 3'1, bf Ray- more Drive. Her 37-year-old hus- band. George. also died in the floods. His body was found last week. -

That was why they were anxious to complete the clean-up while good weather held.

Searchers led by 800 reserve army men launched the big search Saturday in warm sunshine. Meanwhile. the Ontario Hur- riraiie Relief Fund's drive for 310.- 000.000 to assist flood sufferers passed the s2.ooo.ooo mark.

Two Young Boys Drowned When Truck Rolls Into Harbor

ASK LEGALIZIS LOTITEIIIES

QUEBEC (CP) - Quebec's Fed- eration of Farm Women's clubs has asked the federal government to legalize lotteries in Quebec. The 40.000-member organization made the request in a resolution adopted during its annual meeting this week.

PARIS, (AP)-Western diplomats have indicated they hope agreements to bring Germany into the Western dc- fence alliance will be ratified by the middle of next year.

But in the meantime they expect heavy duelling be- tween Moscow and the West over the German question.

The Soviet Union's bid Saturday for a Big Four con- ference in November on a German peace settlement is an

standing by two light condiiiohs

i

for any such conference:

1. Russia must agree in advance to holding free. supervised elec- tions fcr an all-German govern- ment.

2. Russia must act in advance to conclude a treaty of indepen- dence for occupied Austria.

The Allies laid down these con- ditions in notes to Moscow last month.

The Kremlin appeared to have made a move at offering to meet the conditions. But British. Ameri- can and French foreign ministers are reported satisfied the Russian answer is no more than a diplo- matic attempt to defer or destroy the Paris agreements.

END OCCUPATION

The various agreements would end the Allied occupation and re- arm the West Germans under safe- guards within a seven-nation West- ern European Union and the North Atlantic T r e a ty Organizaiion. Twelve German divisions would bolster Allied lines guarding the Elbe. ,

But there are still vocal oppon- ents of German rearmamont in Western parliaments. The Fr'.'nch- German accord on the Saar alone. providing for Europeanizaiion of that coal-bearing. German-speak ing border state. isralrcady getting an unfriendly reception from some legislators in both Paris and Bonn.

The Kremlin said Saturday a four-power foreign niinisiei-s' con- fercnce next month should discuss Western as well as Russian pro- posals for free all-German elec- tiqns. It also said the Russian am- bassador in Vienna is ready to dis- cuss with his Weslcrn colleagues iiqiiestions concerning the conclu- sion.of an Austrian state treaty." STING IN NOTE

There was a sting in the tail of the Russian note. Disarmament proposals now under United Na- tions study will be impossible if West Germany is rcmiiitarizcd, it said.

The governments in Britain. France. West Germany and Italy are all under strong pressure from their political opponents to go into one more conference with Russia in the hope of winning a reprieve for East-West co-operation.

Nevertheless Foreign Secretary Eden. State Secretary Dulles and Premier Mendes France are known in their Paris meetings to have set their faces against any parallel talks with the Russians while the program they brought to a head Saturday remains un- ratified by their parliaments.

Once their program to free and rearm the West Germans is signed. sealed and started. they believe ihcy will be in a position to talk things over with the Russians from a position of strength. Indeed Sir Winston Churchill is known to be nursing plans to try for a meet- ing with Soviet Premier Georgi Maienkov and President Eisen- hower when that stage is reached --perhaps around next Jilly.

Italian Freighter Hard Aqround

NORFOLK. Va. (APr- The U S. Coast Guard said Sunday an liai- Iidn freighter is hard ground seven miles east of Cape Charles light- house. but is in no danger.

The ship's agents, liesier and Company of Norfolk. said she normally carried a crew of .10 in 35 men. The Coast Guard sent two cutters to the scene. and a com- mercial tug was dispatched from Norfolk to help free the vessol.

LONDON (Reuters) .-'Six thou- sand repi-espntaiives of striking British dock workers Sunday night voted unanimously to continue the massive wags-front labor stoppage jamming maritime Britain's vital sea lifeline.

At a mass meeting in Hyde Park. the docker representatives toppled hopes for an early settle- ment of the dispute. They waved thousand of union cards to urge a continued strike in seven key Brit- ish poi-ta by the 44.000 cargo-hand- ling workers they represent.

Dick Barrett. secretary of the 7.000-strong National Amalgamated stevedores and Dockers union which has sparked the predomin- antly "wildcat" strike. said the strikers will "fight on to the end"

IN FOURTH WEEK

The strike. now in its fourth week. has stranded more than 300 ships without cargoes in the key parts of London. Liverpool. Birken- head, Southampton. Hull. Garston and Rochester. Two thirds of Bri- tain's vital sea trade has been hailed. and planes have been called in to shift the vital imports of food and raw materials. which Britain needs to live. and the manufactured goods exports by which she earns R livinl.

London Dockers. Refuse To Se-tiilel

in the mass meeting called to de- cide whether they would carry on the dock strike.

Police controlled traffic as the strikers strode through the streets from the Thames river embank- ment near the houses of Parlia- ment to Hyde Park. .

The strike voie came in defiance of a fresh back-to-work appeal Sun- day from Arthur Deakin. general secretary of the huge Transport and General l”orkers uniori. which has refused to back the strike though thousands of its members are involved in the walkout. Dcskin has previously accused Commu- nisis of having a hand in the strike and using it to try and capture the labor union movement.

CAN'T FORECAST END

I-lull doakers were told Sunday by

W. F). Newman. assistant general secretary of the National Amalga- mated Sievedoros and Dockers. that it was impossible to forecast the end of the strike.

Newman indicated that the re.- port of is three-man court of in- quiry probing the causes of the strike would not be handed to Labor Minister Sir Walter Monck- ton iiniii Tuesday. Then all parties would have to examine copies of the reports and more mass meet- ing: would have to be arranged to gauge woikers' feelings.

Monckion is expected to make I statement on the strike in the House of Common today. The gov- ernment has warned the strikers that if necessary they will send
