III - Treatment Of Ho s p ital ' Patients Denied

NEW TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 8.— A former supervisor and an ex-nursc accused by Crown witnesses of ‘nav- ing beaten patients at the Ontario Hospital here, denied the charges from the stand today us Royal Com-

party or creed, to solve our prob- lems.”

missioner W, B. Common, continued his probe into the inside administra- tion of-thc institution.

Investigation arises in part Irom an affidavit by S. J. Stuchell, dis- missed attendant, in which he charged ill-treatment of patients. unsanitary conditions and general laxity in supervision of the conduct. of nurses and employees.

Mrs. Helen Murray, the former supervisor, gave point blank denial to Stuchelrs accusation she has prompted the death of a tubcrcular patient by striking him on he back of the neck with a. screwdriver. Mix - A. Scott, a nurse who has been | transferred to the Ontario Hospital i at Kingston, and who was SUPPOSZO , to have been present on that oc-i casion, also said there was no truth to the allegation.

Witness remembered one or "two occasions, however, on which she said Mrs. Murray slapped o. patient

Dr. Wicks, in charge of the tuber- cular ward since 1933, testified to having no knowledge of any patient being beaten with a screwdriver or. for that matter, with any other ‘n- strument. Patient "W," who Stuchell claimed died as rmuit of the blows on the head with a screwdriver was under his cars for a year before his death, Dr. Wicks testified.

Nazis Officials Order Dissolution Of Masonic Lodges And War Veterans Or_g_u_nization.

(C. ll-l-lavaa)

(By Guardian's Special Wire)

BERLIN, Aug. ll-The ever-wid- ening clrcle of "enemies of the stato" received important new re- cruits throughout Germany today when wholesale dissolution of maj- or Masonic Lodges snd Steel Hel- met war veteran divisions was or- dered by Hitler-directed Reich of- ficials.

Arrest of two priests accused of encouraging their followers to tear down Nazi posters against "polit- ical Catholicism" and several in- stances of punishment of Catholic youths constituted latest moves in the anti-religious campaign.

Ordered Dissolved

‘The Grand Masonic Lodges of Saxony, of Dresden and of “the German Canon-Brothers" were or- dered dissclved because of “irre- ducible divergencles between Mas- onry and National Socialism." This action was regarded as the begin- ning of a nationwide campaign to eradicate the fraternal order com- pletely from the country.

The most telling blot. to date was struck against the Stahlhelm, steel-helmeted veterans’ organiz- ation, when all posts in Berlin, Brandenburg, Pomerania, and the eastern provinces were dissolved and their properties confiscated.

A Jcvirth lawyer, Herr Wittlich, was arrested here and illbm‘lt6d to a grilling by member of the Gestapo, Ila‘: secret police, for "soiling the ‘Aryan’ race."

Bicycle Speeding

Because they talked back to a policeman who arrested them for riding bicycles “at excess speed" on Berlin's streets, two Jews were sentenced to one year and 10 months in prison respectively.

At Welbbreitach, near Koblrnz, the Rev, Father Peter Hart of the Franciscan brotherhood. chaplain of a hospital for the insane, was arrested on a charge of having en- couraged his patients to destroy Nazi posters against “political Catholicism," and sentenced to four months in prison.

King’s Promises Relief Work Piqges Hard To Re-

concile With

Ldwer Taxes.

Liberal Program Discounted.

OTTAWA, Aug. 7-Practicaily everv suggestion Whch Rt. Hon. W. L. M. King, in concluding his series of political broadcasts, made for ihc handling of the unemploy- ment nrobiem in Canada, is a1- renrly in operation. The Liberal leader's suggestons might justif- iably be suspected of having their source and origin in the legislation with which the Bennett Govern- ment hos sought to combat what is admittedly the Domlnlon‘s ma.- Jor problem in recent sessions of parliament.

Mr, King proposed basically only two things. He urged o national unemployment commission to deal with the problem on broad. fed- eral lines. And he advocated a public works program.

The Liberal leader chose unac- connfablv, however. to ignore the recent creation of the employment and social insurance commission, with Colonel Gordon S. Harring- ton as its head. ’I‘hot bodv, over r-nd beyond the routine adminis- tration of the country's prospective unemployment insurance fund. is chnrrzcri specifically with the duties which Mr. King envisioned for his ideal commission, and it will find its first and foremost activity in carrying them out. A national register of the unemployed is to be prepared. all existing agencies. federal. provincial and municipal —the assumption is that provinces nnd cities will co-ooeraie-mre to be welded into on effective system of labor exchanges. A scientific study. the first ever instituted by the Dominion. is in be launched into unemployment as s. more or less permanent problem associated with modern achlne-age produc- tion.

Public Works Proposals

As regards his proposals for public works, the Liberal leader simply suggests that o few new categories be added to thou al-

ready being carried out by. the Government. There is nothing rad- ical in his proposal.

The government itself is con- stantly enlarging the scope of its relief program. The important noini. is that the principle of pub- lic works is not. new but well-estab- lished under the present govem- merit. _

It is true that Mr. King declares that workers on straight relief projects should be paid wages. only somewhat below the regular sched- ule of the district. He‘ does not ex- plnin. however, the source from which the money is to be obtained.

while. on the other hand. he is emphatic in his statement ihat d th t

taxation must be reduced

Provincial Authorities Faced With Housing Problem. '

(C.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

CALGARY‘. Aug. '8—Authorities cast about tonight for some new place in which to house transients arrested for illegally riding on freight trains as recent arrests on such charges brought the number of men held to large figures.

Authentic sources said o war- time conoentration camp at Banff, used for the interment of aliens. may be reopened, to house tran- sients taken from trains.

Latest to be caught in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police drive against trai riders was a tran- sient allege by police to be one of the leaders of 60 relief camp strikers who halted a fast fruit train at Golden. B. C.. Tuesday.‘

Greased Rails

,The men greased the rails, halted the train and. disobeying orders of the crew. rode into Calgary. Two other leaders of the band were be- ing sought. Seven of 28 men arrested when the fruit train arrived in Calgary were sentenced to from one to 21 days in jail when they appeared in police court today. The others remain to be arraigned.

Meantime Alberta. Jails were fast being filled as the war against il- legal ‘train riding went on. The problem of housing the prisoners was becoming pressing. Lethbridge pmvilrloial jail. with accommodation for 200 prisoners. is filled and Fort Saskatchewan, near lhimonton,‘ with accommodation for 260 men. can only find places for 30 more. In the past three weeks, 115 men have been sent to Lethbridgc from the Calgary district alone. Most of them were illegal train riders.

Daily, for nearly a month. tran- sients have been taken from freight trains here and sentenced to jail terms.

Four Yarmouth Men B a t t I e Huge Shark

(C. P. by Gumdianu Special Wire)

MURDER ISLAND, Yarmouth County, N. S., Aug. &—<Mistaking a huge man-eating shark for a. tuna four men started a terrific battle today when they tried to drive the fish ashore.

Baromc LeBlanc. his two sons. Lester and Cleveland, and his brother, Adolphe first engaged the shark close to shore and drove it into shallow water with two dorfes. Infuriated, it nearly swamped the craft as it seethed madly in the water.

The shark was finally driven right into the shore by stones. and three of the men held it there with'oa:s while Barome went after a gaff. They were unable to land tin’: fish with the lnstlnumcnt however, because it was too dull to penetrate the shark's leatherly skin

The shark is believed to have been one of the biggest ever seen

in Nova. Scotia waters. It was longer than the dories, both of which measured 20 feet on the

waterline.

Protest Disregarded

LONDON, Aug. ll-A fortnight alter "strong representations" to Italy, Great Britain tonight was still without assurance that violent Italian press attacks against the country would be halted. Statements of a. spokesman of the Italian Fbreign Office‘ that he knew of no such British action caused amazement in official quar- ters here.

Anthony Eden worked over plans for the tri-power conference in Paris next week on the Italo- Ethiopian dispute, as the govcm- ment arranged to discuss the whole range of For Eastern problems w-th Japan this fall. The govern- ment has accepted Japan's invita- tion for diplomatic discussion in Tokyo, including naval limitation and the position in North China. ‘They will be carried on by Sir Frederick Leith-Ross. financial ex- pert. and the British Ambassador.

Concerted Action Lacking

Although the verbal weight of Europe's organized workers had been thrown behind a “stop the Itch-Ethiopian war" movement, a checkup tonight indicated this st- tltude would not be backed by concerted acton in several coun- tries.

A manfcfo, adoPWd by Orson- ized European workers last night called upon them t0 10in the Am" ericsn Federation of Labor in the program.

No responsible officials of the International Federation of Trade Unions and the Labor-Socialist Internationale could be found who would say their viewpoint would be backed by action such as a world- wide workers’ demonstration for peace or o, boycott on the belliger- ents.
