Jury Fails T 0 Agree In Siside Robbery Case; New Trial Is Ordered

A petit jury sitting at summe - side yesterday on the case of Cecil Arsenault and Clarence Cahlll. charged with robbery. failed to agree on a verdict and 9. new trial has been ordered for next Tues- day. A new jury panel will be summoned.

Following the trial. the accused were returned to jail to await their second trial. They are alleg- ed to have assaulted Roy Ford of Northam on March lilth and rob- bed him of about 840. Evidence had been concluded on Wednes- day and yesterday morning the jury was charged by the presid- ing judge, Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell.

They retired at 11.11 A.M. and when they had not returned by one o'clock. court was recessed till 2.30 P. M. The jury filed -back into the court room at ten minutes to three and the foreman announ- ced that they were in disagree- ment. Chief Justice Campbell then had a number of questions pre- sented to them in writing and when they finally came back at ten to four it was evident that there was no hope of reaching an agreement.

The first question the jury was asked was, "Are you satisfied be- yond a reasonable doubt that two men. being together. unlawfully robbed Roy Ford of a sum of M0

Gain Grohnd Despite Heavy Artillery Fire

TOKYO. June B-(Priday)-(AP)- Allied infantrymen, despite intense Communiat artillery fire. stormed two key heights Thursday and looked down the throats of Chin- eao Reds defending Chorwon and Kumhwa in North Korea.

The Communists fought hard before these big Red bases. They hurled heavy mortar and artillery fire along a 45-mile stretch of the central front and laced roadways with mines.

Allies galn up to two miles

United Nations troops drove re- lentlessly forward, making gaiils ranging up to two miles for the day.

Chinese succeeded in halting one Eighth Army column four miles southwest. of Chorwon. Eighth Army troops, however, held grimly to a 2.700-foot Mount Kodae. dom- inating the approaches to that Red bastion. 11 miles north of the 38th parallel.

To the east. other Allied troops stormed the rugged slopes of 3,100- foot iljiunt Kwangdok, guarding the southwest entrance to Kum- hwa which is 20 miles north of the

min. From these high positions the Allies held commanding ground

from which to pour devastating artillery fire into the Reds. .

Chorwon and Kumhwa are the western and eastern legs of the so- called Communist "iron triangle". Pyonggang forms the northern tip of the three-cornered Red assem- bly area.

There were indlcations. report- ed Association Press correspond- ent George McArthur, that the Chinese were shifting forces west- ward from the east-central front to defend the triangle.

Red artillery active

The most stubborn Red resist- ance waa on the central front and to the east around Inje. four miles north of the oath, an Eighth Army communique said Thursday night.

AP correspondent Jim Becker reported that Allied forces driving on Chorwon were meeting increas- ingly-heavy fire from Red big guns.

One officer told Becker: "We've received more artillery in the.last 24 hours than we have ever seen before."

A single communist medium bomber. unidentified as to type. swept in just before nightfall and strafed and bombed forward Alli- ed positions near Chorwon. one bomb fell near a regimental com- mand post but caused no damage. a field report said. Four other also landed harmleasly.

MIDDLETON. N. 8.. June '1-(GP) Onesimus Moder. 00. of Pine Grove. N. 3., was killed today when the car in which he was a passen- ger crashed inio a railway guard rail three miles east of here. Two others were injured.

His son. Miurray. driver of the car. escaped injury but another son. Stuart. was admitted to hos- pital auffcrln a fractured arm and possible skul fracture. His wife suffered multiple bruises and a broken hand.

Defence Spending Light

In Maritimes

UITAWA. June 'I - (OP) Complaints that the Prairies and the Maritimes are not getting enough defence contracts were made by members from those areas today before the Commons public accounts ittee.

The committee decided to in- vita Defence Production Minister Howe to testify before it on con- tracts during 1949-50, the period now under study.

The committee defeated a motion aponaorod by its C.C.F. group which would have had

Mr. Howe rubjec' d to question- ing on current defence contracts and. particularly. why more are not being allocated to the Prairies and the Mai-ltimea.

Rosa The-tclae (CCF--Moon Jaw). who has been waglm a campaign to get more contracts for Saskatchewan. told the com- mittee he is going to try to find out from Mr. Howe about current purchases anyway.

He said Saskatchewan has fa- cllitiaa for producing many de- fence la;-ticlea brutal: letting only a Ina Dirt 0 conttlctm

Gaorga C. Nowlan (PC-Am eapolls-Kinn) said the poaltion in the -Maritimes is the same.

And West

Federal spending in that area was on such things as military camps. which were of no peace- time use to the liilarritimes.

"General purchasing is very limited," Mr. Nowjand um,

C. E. Johnston (SC-Bow River) said there has been "discrimina- tion" against the Prairies and the Maritimes. Industry in those re- gions should be built up so they would be useful in peacetime, rather than "centralizing efforts in the two central provinces."

In a speech before the Cana- dian Manufccturvrr Association last Tuesday. Production Mlnintcr Howe said defence contracts awarded in Canada during the 1&0-Bl final year, totalled am. 000.000.

Of this amount. Ontario got 4! int NM: Quebec :4 per cent: the Maritimes. 0 per cent; the Prairies, H, and British Columbia. 0

"On the face of it". he said. "this would look like an unwarranted coracentra-iion of orders in the central provinces. But as a mat. tor of fact this dlatrbution could hardly have been otherwise in View of the economic structure of the various regions."

Building Supplies Seen

OTTAWA. June 7 - (OP) - Resources Min-isler Winters warn- ed today thart house building may feel the pinch of "more general” shortages of materials before the and of the year.

Reporting on the progress of Canad-ais house-building program, he told the Commons is number of "real obstacles" had arisen in the way of maintaining current housing activity.

They included growing short- ages, increased building costs, a tightening of mortgage money and the difficulties of an insul- ficient supply of serviced land. The expanding defence program, involving much new construction, got first call on materials. '

At the same time, Mr. Winters said the Federal Government was anxious to join with the

Provinces in undertaking low-

rental housing projects. especial-

ly in areas where the defence program is aggravating the houainr shortage. --

He said lml housing activity was keeping up with last year. but it was difficult to forecast pLOlDeClB for 1952 and 1953. Many of the conditions now being en- countered were "unfavorable" to an increase in volume.

David Croli (L--Toronto Spa- dina) charged that build-in-g sup. ply houses were fixing prices ""01-Iifh "Kelli-1e'l'nen's agreements" and deliberately keeping supplies short and prices high.

Rosa Thatcher (CCF -- Moose Jaw) suggested the Government un-dentake large-scale programs of low-cost housing, relax dow-n-pay. meat and credit provisions of the N. H. A. and use its powers to grant housing loans.

Have Inside Information Of Top Value

LONDON. June '7 -- (AP) - Al worried Foreign Office disclosed to- day two British diplomats familiar with Anglo-American atatc secrets have vanished from England. Their disappearance has touched off a trans-continental hunt up to and beyond the Iron Curtain. A Foreign Office spokesman said the families of the two men. Donald Duarc MacLean and Guy Francis De Moncy Burgess. receiv- ed messages from Paris bearing their signatures within the last 24 hours. Military intelligence agents are trying to determine whether the are genuine. The men have been missing since May 25.

MacLean, 38, headed the Foreign Office's American Department. Bur- gess, 40, is a Washington Embassy official whose vast knowledge of Marxism has helped Britain in Anglo-Soviet relations in the past. Both knew vital state secrets.

U. S. Concerned Also

In Washington. State Secretary Dean Acheson told Senators the United states shared London's con- cern. Acheson said it would be a "very serious matter" if the missing men proved to have Russian sym- pathies.

Lord Beaverbrooks Daily Express quoted an unnamed friend of the missing men as saying they are heading for Moscow "to serve their idealistic purposes." --But there was no evidence from official quarters that either has Communist symp- athies.

Both officials were suspended for being absent without leave. A friend suggested they might just be off on a spree.

All British diplomatic missions in Europe - including Moscow - were told to be on the lookout. Friend- ly governments. including France. were asked to lend police help in the hunt.

Scotland Yard Silent

Scotland Yard would .4... say a word about the case.

The Foreign Office spokesman told reporters:

"There is no reason to believe that they have taken any official papers with them."

Torrespondence Between Premier And Railway Heads

Over, Bridge &

Correspondence between Premierw

J. Walter Jones and Mr. Donald Gordon, President of the Canad- ian National Railway. and other Railway officials, submitted in evi- dence at the hearing before the Board of Transport Commission- ers on the application of the Rail- way to discontinue its service over Hlllsboro Bridge, was the high-. light in the proceedings before the Commission yesterday.

The correspondence opened with a letter from Premier Jones to Mr. Gordon. dated March 18. 1950.1 directing attention to the prupos-l ed route on Prince Edward Ls-I land of the Trans-Canada High-; way and to the fact that this pro- ' posed route traverses the Hills- boro Bridge, the width of which does not meet. the required stan-l dard of the proposed highway. It was concluded -that the widening of the existing bridge would n-oti be economically feasible. having' regard for the weight and age of the steel work in the stru.cture.1 Mention was made also of the fa.c- 1 tors of load limitation which arei imposed upon the present brldge.i as a circumstance affording fur- iher justification for its replace- ment.

"We are unable to sign an ag- reement with Canada regarding the Trans-Canada Highway,” the Premier wrote, "until we estab- lish our route in detail and we cannot do that until we can be assured that the Canadian Na- tional Railway is ready and will- ing ta go along with us in build- ing a new Hillsboro Bridge. In view of our urgent need for this assurance, we would first ask that you visit your Island Division as soon as possible or. second, that

' you let us know when you" could

receive a representative of this Government to begin discussions on this matter."

In his reply. dated March 33. 1950, Mr. Gordon noted that care- ful sisudy and consideration would be required to determine lo what extent the character and volume of railway traffic would warrant railway participation in the cost

Suggests Barring Mayors From House of Commons

OITAWA, June 'i -(cp) .. Barring of municipal mayors and reeves from election to the House of Commons was proposed today by Haaen Argue (COP-Asslnlboia) before the Commons clecilons Committee.

The committee. engaged in over- hauling Canada's electoral mach- inery. took no action on the rug- gestion for the present. Mr. Argue said he would bring it up later.

Members of Provincial Legislat- ures now are barred from holding Commons seats. and Mr. Argue said the committee should consid- er extending this ban to municipal heads.

If they were to do a competent job in Parliament. he said, they should not hold both positions. It was conceivable that a member of the Legislature of a small Prov. inco gush as Prince Edward Is- land would be more able to do the two jobs than the mayor of a large city. .
