Eiiachu Ben Sourl. one of the two men now 0n trial for the murder, said in court today.

Sneaking in English and wink out nny sign of emotion, Souri ex- plained how the crime w“ com. mitted. Charged with him is Aliahu Hakim. “We both camp to Cairo with instructions from a secret organization of which ‘c are members. and were met Cairo with instructions to assas- sinate 10rd Moync.“ said Souri.

He added:

"Cur organization always gets rid of anyone interfering with our Plans but in this case we had strict instructions to do our best, m; to hi!" fliiyflne except Moyne and especially not to hurt nny Egyp-

"Our plan was to get. everybody from the car. We wanted every- body to lie down except Moync Whom we would shoot while he wus- standing. We would then escape.

"As the chauffeur tin-Cpl. Arthur Herbert William Fuller) twice refused the order to lie down and tried to seize my revol- ver. I shot him.

"My friend in the meantime Opened the door of the car and said ‘out’ to Moyne. Eveutunil he had to shoot Moyne while stil in the car and then We both fled on our bicycles..."

Throughout Wednesday night 200 men guarded the court house and soon after dawn heavy rein- forcements formed cordons inside and outside the building.

Seek Wage Boost For. 7,350 0nt., ll. S. Steelworkers

OTTAWA, Jan. ii — 1GP) —Tho National War Labor- Board today had under consideration wage in- crease applications affecting some

7.350 sleeirworkeis in . Marie. Ont. and Sydney. N.S., plants.

Evidence was concluded tfldgy in on application bv the United Steel Workers of America. (C.I.O.) for increases at the Sydney Plant o! the ‘ Steel and Coal Corp Yesterday the B-oerd heard an I. - plicatlon- from the same Union or workers at the Aigoma steel Corp. M Ssult Ste. Marie. Decision was reserved in both cases.

Both companies are opposing the

Union requests. ‘ LA. Forsyth. Dosco counsel said, today the ccmpan experienced a deficit of 810,819. in 1943 and was receiving Government subsidies t0 enable it, to continue steel pm- duction for war purposes. Con. tinual increases in wage rates would jeopardize the company- position in s. postwar competitive market.

The Union. represented by EB. Jollifle. argued that the Govern- ment in settling t-he i043 steel strike at the two plants had estab- lished the principle of uniformity of rates and this should be maln- tained.

Continuing the present rates at a lower scale in Nova Sootln than

in is mid ir. Ontario was discrimina-

tion against the Dosco workers. Mr. Jolllffe said the fact; that Government subsidies were being rial-d to assist steel production in Nova Sect-is. did 11o: affect the rights of the workers who at thc lower wares were beng asked to make unfar sacrifices.

Bankers Aes’n ls Upheld In Decision

MONTREAL. Jan. 11 - (c?) - Refusal of the Canadian Bankers‘ Association to pay s 010M!) re. ward for the prevention oi s bank robbery today was upheld by a Superior Court Judge who said “I would have liked to find a le- gal point so n5 to grant the de- mand."

Mr. Justice Louis Loren er made the remark as he dismissed the action of Roger Lepinc, employ-to of the Bonquc Canadienne Na- tionals. who sued for the 310,000 reward he claimed was due film after he fatally wounded a bandit in an ttempted holdup in i942.

"It is to be hoped that the do- fendent will retract the decision it has made in this case to adhere strictly to the letter of the cou- tract withoul, teking into account natural justice and equity which tm‘ plaintiff invokes." the Judge s .

The Bankers Association had or- gued that application for the re- ward wes not filed within the stipulated one-month term: the reward could be granted or refused as the Association saw fit; and that it had been a rule that a bank employee would not be given a reward when it was his own benk that was the object of the holdu attempt.

Mr. Jul ice Lounger, who said that Le ins was sn tii-s-week clerk. d that he could see no

reuon bank clerks should be efiluded rom the reward pro- v s on
