Eaglghter Sinks, After Col Appeal For Truce On Ta

Strikes To Aid Defence Production Is Rejected

By JOHN RBLANO WINNIPEG. Aug. 20 - (GP) - A Federal Government suggestion that labor soften the use of its strike weapon during the defence production race was rebuffed today by union chiefs at the Trades and Lalbor Congress of Canada conven- tion.

The ca tiousiy-worded appeal for labor-ma agement harmony from Labor Minister Gregg was answered by president Percy Bengough of the 502.000-member 'l'.L.C. and Russell Harvey of Toronto, one of the American Federation of Labor's top men in Canada.

Both said labor will continue to exercise its legal right to walk out, despite a, statement from the Min- ister yesterday that Canadian pro- duction now should not be "inter- rullted. impeded or interfered with for even a short time."

The convention as a whole made no declaration on the issue. just hearing the two officials who spoke on 9. point of "privilege" on Mr. Gregg's address. President Ben- gough's statement however, could be taken as the official T. L. (7. stand in the absence of opposition from the 500-odd delegates.

Mr. Gregg. in office two years. made what was generally interma- ed by newspaper men as a "go slow" appeal on the strike question. However, President Bengough and Mr. Harvey today professed to consider he was misinterpreted.

The president. saying he did not think Mr. Gregg intended to say- what he had been construed as say- ing, added:

"Labor has certain rights and has exercised them and will continue to do so." '

Mr. Harvey said there should be no inference that something dis- loyal was involved in a trade union exercising its normal strike func- tion.

Informants close to Mr. Gregg said tonight it was not incorrect to interpret his speeches I. call on labor men to go easy on strikes in the interests of defence production. However. in view of the reception given this part of the speech today it appeared likely a olearer defin- ition of the government's views on the Question might be given the Canadian Congress of Labor by Ms. Gregg when he s to that ong- anization a month from now in Toronto.

German Socialist Party Leader lliea A

BONN. Germany.. Aug. 21 -- (Thursday)-Dr. Kurt Schumacher. leader of the powerful socialist Party of West Germany. died here today. He was 57.

The crippled survivor of Nazi concentration camps died of "acute circulatory illness." the socialist Party headquarters announced.

The one-armed, one-legged soc- ialist leader had been ailing for months.

Bchumacher was a fighter all his life. His enemies were the Nazis. the Communists and chronic ill-

BERLIN, Aug. Z3 - (CP) -- Charles Noble. 60-year-old Detroit camera, manufacturer. told his

wife today of his seven years in East German-prisons and concen- tration camps. when every day he waited for his captors to fulfil promises he would be released 'soon."

Noble's wife has been wailing here since 1046, a few months af- ter he was arrested in Dresden.

He waf released Tuesday. a month after being found guilty by the Communists of smuggling cameras and .of co-operating with the Nuts. He was given a seven- yosr sentence. counting time sl- ready served. -

Tanker Rams. Liberty Ship; crew Rescued

DEAL, England, Aug. 20-(AP) -The American wartime Liberty ship Western Farmer broke in halves and sank in the storm- laahfd English Channel tonight three hours after colliding with a. Norwegian tanker.

The collision tore a gaping hole in the side of the American ship and ripped her bridge away.

Lifeboats from Dover and Rams- gate circled the doomed vessel and, reports here said. picked up the crew of 3'7 headed by Captain Gun- ner Utvik, 62. an American of Scandinavhan origin.

The "Farmer" sent out urgent calls for medical help after the crash. indicating some of the crew might be in bad shape. The signals had to be sent by blinker because the radio was wrecked.

The 11.732-ton tanker Bjoraholm, built last year, was not seriously damaged. .

While attention focused here, a small British trawler. the 260-ton Magnolia. sank in just seven sec-, onds off Eastern England. Reportsl said three of her crew died in an explosion that blew up the trawler; eight were rescued.

The stalinlstdictatorahip made it crystal clear to the people of the Soviet Union Wednesday that the Kremlin, through its rule over the Communist Party. intends to exer- cise complete and ruthless control over every nook and cranny of Sov- let life. It indicated that opposit- ion has been stamped out. and ex- pressed an implied threat against any possible new opposition.

An announcement that an all- union congress of the Communist Putty will be convened Oct. 5 is the most important political event inside the U. B. S. R. since the war.. Long awaited, the announcement indicates adown-the-line strength- ening of the dl tatorshlp from top to bottom. poaa bly with a. third world war in mind.

The army and navy are distinct- ly- warned that they are under the control of the communist Party. So are all organs of government. New statutes of the party publish- ed today-the congress will affix its rubber stamp in October-speak this warning:

”Extensiva discussion. notably, discussion on the all-union scale; of questions .of party policy, must be organized in such a manner that it does not lead to attempts by an insignificant minority to im- pose its will on ihe.party's major- ity, or to attempts at forming fractional groupings, destroying the unity of the party, to attempts at splitting which may shake the strength and stability of the social- ist system."

Noble said today he emigrated to the US. in 1920. and returned with his family in 1939 for a health cure: They were trapped here by the war.

In January. 1945. the German Foreign Office said the family would be repatriated under an ex- change of nationals arranged by the nod Cross but the order was cancelled and Dresden was taken over by the Russians four months later.

The Russians ordered 50.000 cam-

The steel tank. owned by Mc- Coll-Frontenac Oil Company. Ltd.. was being dismantled by a crew working for Spaldlng and Davis

tEedard said the four men were building an iron scaffold inside the tank when the fire was started by a torch held by Sudds.

There is little pretence at demo- cracy. The intent is clear: The law must be laid down unmistak- ably. The man who will lay it down in the keynote speech is Georgi M. Malenkov, 50-year-old protege of Stalin who now seems more than ever in line for Stalin's dictatorial mantle.

Malenkov appears to have been the architect of the new statutes. He forecast this five years ago in a published speech announcing that the central committee was prepar- ing a new party program because the one in use was obsolete

TORONTO. Aug. 20 -(CF) - George Burt. hesd ofthe United Automobile workers (O.l.0.-0.0. l..). and president of the Ontario Federation of Labor (O.C.l..). said today he does not favor a no-strike pledge by labor. I He was commenting on a plea by Labor Minister Gregg that unions refrain from striking during the roarmsment program. - Mr. Burt said labor was already seriously confined in its right to strike and "doesn't think the pru- ent emergency justifies any no- strike pledge." "There probably wouldn't be any strikes if Mr. Gregg would see to it that legislation is passed to make them unnecessary.

Princess Margaret Observes 22nd Birthday Today

LONDON. Aug. 20 -(CP) - A touch of sadness will almost ceri- ainly shadow the thoughts of Princess Margaret when she cele- brates her 22nd birthday tomorrow within the granite walls of Bal- moral Castle. "

Presents and greetings will be brought to the Princess in hcrl suite. But the occasion will be dif- ferent from the happy times spent within the same castle walls when her father was alive.

On other birthdays, Margaret went eagerly to the breakfast table in search of a. famiiilar card. It contained mysterious instructions that would lead her to a present- if she could figure out the message.

All things considered. this first birthday since the Kings death marks an intangible but real

change in the life of the fuil-1ov- lng young princess. since her sister became Queen. Margaret in a sense has been living in ”her sister's house." Buckingham Palace and Balmoral are no longer her own homes.

"Close as Princess Margaret is to the Queen." said a palace repre- sentative. "that makes quite a dif- ference-evcn to a. royal princess."

Movie Inspires Hanging Game; Boy Almost Dies

OTTAWA, Aug. 20 --NC?) - Police and civic officials today linked the llenr-deatll by hanging of a 10-year-old boy with a movie attended by at least one of tile playmates who strung him up to a pole.

Garnet Rlchens was hanged with a six foot-long piece of silk during a game. When his face turned blue. his playmates cut him down. Quick treatment with oxygen by a fireman saved his life.

Paul Sullivan, 13. one of (lar- net's playmates said the game-in which a. five-year-old also was hanged but escaped injllry-started after he saw the movie Golden Horde. The picture is a Hollywood version of the invasion of Europe by the mongol Emperor Genghis Khan several centuries ago.

Police Chief .Duncan MacDonald said: "It is not the first time an idea got from a movie has caused trouble for young people. and plenty of trouble for the police."

Mayr Charlotte Whitton said the incident "could be attributed to a breakdown of our censorship. But parents should make sure that their youngsters do not attend pictures unless they are classified for juvenile viewing."

The movie contains a scene in which Genghis Khan points out saveral corpses hanging by the roadside as n wsming of his pow- er. .

ln.the game one of the children was caught and hanged to n clothes-lino post. Jimmy Mason. 5. the first candidate, twice slipped out of a plastic noose.

Then it was Cisrnet's turn. This time the group used a length of silk. The noose around his neck.
