Prominent. Surgeon Proposes Plan To House llyoliimiiit.-e

OTTAWA, Ming 3 -(CP) -One of Canadals foremost surgeons said today the medical counterpart of the giant Chalk River atomic plant now should be growing up in uni- versitles.

Dr. Wilder Penfield of Montreal. addressing a. meeting of the parlia- mentary health committee. urged the Government to establish a non-political national commission for medical research and develop- ment.

An internationally-known brain surgeon and director of the Mont- real Neurological Institute. he out- lined his scheme before an audi- ence that included Health Minister Martin. Agriculture Minister Gar- diner, Resources Minister winters, and M. J. cold-well. National C. G. F. leader. '

Function of his proposed com- mission, said Dr. Peniield, would be to provide endowments for scientific institutes or departments within different Canadian univers- ities. He suggested Parliament might provide "millions of dollars" annually for this purpose.

In Peace Or War

"such national institutes would contribute to the health of the people in time of peace and would constitute bulwarks of defence in time of war."

In a wide ranging speech. Dr. Penfield said on other topics:

Russia.-"the shadow of the Sec- ret Soviet police, that envelopes the Russian people, also fails across our path .. .we are separated from this people with whom we have no quarrel and they are being taught that they must conquer or be conquered by us when we would gladly be friends." '

Medicine At 'Oross-roads

State medicine-"medicine is coming to the cross-road: of its destiny. The rising cost of medical care dlsmays doctor as well as patlent...there are dangerous de- fects ln'the working of the scheme of socialized medicine in England how, defects which may well neut- ralize its virtues."

National Research "Canadians may well look with pride at the achievement of the N. R. 0. Through it our Federal Government has made a. contrib- utio whidh proportionately equ to that in Gl'eat.3rit;ain and the United States. and probably equal to that in Soviet Russia. The other Dominions have made no comparable advance”-.but N. R. C. is limited to the award of grants-in-aid of a specific research project in medicine."

Dr. Penfield said that scientific development is a field that must be entered by the Federal Govern- ment. Any eountry that would compete with its neighbors in peace or in war must give em- tinuing support to scientific re search. I ,

”Thia applies to medical re- search as well as to industrial and defence research. Seen from an historical perspective. it is evident that this is canadais great opport- unity to lead."

Young Girl Plans To Wed Alleged Bank Robber

MONTREAL. May 3-(CP) A pretty I9-year-old brunette to- day began to arrange a marriage between herself and an alleged bank robber, who surrendered to a newspaper editor after he had been sought by police for ques- tioning in connection with a bank hold-up and gun-battle.

Elaine Masters of Ste. Gene- vieve, Que. about 20 miles west of Montreal, told police last night that she wanted to marry 22-year- old Nick Cooper and today she ap- plied to a notary to arrange for the licence.

Last night Cooper, accompanied by Elaine, met Harold Gardner. city editor of the Herald. and said that he wanted to surrender be- cause "we want to get married."

Embarrassed police officials ad- mitted that Cooper had been handed over to them by the news- paper at about the same time they were preparing to stage a raid on a summer cottage north of the city where the suspect was be- lieved hiding out.

The youth surrendered more than 32.000 in cash, which he said

was part of the money taken kt the North-End branch of the Royal Bank. Two other youths. Eric Mc- Conncli. 28. and Jean Brunet. 2.5. have pleaded guilty to the rob- bery in court while George Wal- lace. 20. is still in hospital recover- ing from a police-inflicted wound in the stomach received in the running gun fight.

Gardner said he met the couple outside the Herald Office on a street corner and they accompan- led him to the newspaper office.

"I'm willing to face the music- but we want to get married," Gardner quoted Cooper as saying.

The alleged bandit said that he escaped to New York with the bank money. but returned because he loved Elaine. He said he spent part of the money on his travels and gambling.

Cooper denied he participated in the shooting afifray with police when the four youths were sur- prised outside the bank by two city police constables.

Police said today that Cooper would be arraigned Friday on a

charge of armed hold-u,p.

LONDON. May 3-(Reuters) - Results in Scottish municipal con- tests, where Socialists yesterday lost control in leading cities. have raised Conservative hopes of a swing to the right in the country- wide iocal government elections next week. anti-Socialists now control Glas- go , Edinburgh, Aberdeen. Dun- dee, Dumbarton, Dunfermline and Kilwinning. In five of these centres, their gains wiped out a Socialist local administration.

In Glasgow, where Socialists reigned from 1933 until last year, iha Anti-Socialist Progressive Party now has 57 seats against the Sociali.sts' 54.

This gives the "Progressives" a clear majority.

In Aberdeen. the Anti-Socialist Moderates recaptured control of the council. lost four years ago, by one seat. Dundee increased its Moderate majority from three to four.

Edinburgh's position was unal- tered, since Anti-Socialists already held 52 seals against Sociallsts' 15.

The Glasgow poll was one of the smallest in the city's history and apathy was evident in contests throughout Scotland. ,

Communists fared badly. The 13 Glasgow Communist candidates polled an aggregate vote of 5.493. fewer than,ihe number of votes re- corded by many individual candi. dates of other parties.

In the rest of Scotland the Com- munists lost four of their five seats.

The Scottish municipal results reflect the trend in the recent February general election for the British Parliament where there was a heavy swing to the right coupled with an extermination of the Communists and elements on Labor's left wing.

Conservatives in England predict that this tendency will persist in the impending contests for 7.500 seals on the English and Welsh

county and municipal borough councils and the urban district councils.

MOM than 14.000 candidates will stand for election in iili borough councils, 309 municipal boroughs. and 572 urban district councils.

Polling will begin next Mon. day and continue through the week. involving about 28,000,000 of the electorate.

There is no voting this year in the London metropolitan boroughs where a complete council is elect- ed every three years.

ELIMINATE MARGARINE SALES

from Onlario Makes Proposal

eral Senator from Ontario today launched a campaign to eliminate the eight-per-cent sales tax on margarine and immediately drew opposition from Liberal colleagues.

Senator W. D. Euler told the Upper Chamber that the tax was "unfair" and hindered housewives from combattlng the rising cost- of-living. He urged the Senate to go on record favoring the elimin- ation of the tax. which he said was being kept on because of the "political influence of pressure groups."

He said elimination of the tax would mean reduction of the price of margarine by three cents a pound. Senator Cyrilie Vaillancourt (1..-Quebec) pounced on that point and mid elimination of the tax also would deprive thousands of farmers of income.

Opposes Margarine

The Quebec Senator. who heads a maple syrup business. said he was against the manufacture of margarine entirely in Canada. It tended to "ruin the raising of Cattle. the dairy industry and the production of grain."

He obtained support from Sen- ators S. S. McKeen (L-British Co- lumbia), a prominent west-coast business man. and Senator J. P. Mclntyre (L-Prince Edward Is- land) east-coast farmer and lob- ster packer.

Senator McKeen complimented Senator Euler for campaigning successfully for manufacture and sale of margarine in Canada. But it appeared that the Ontario Sen- ator was not content with mere introduction.

If the Senate was going to go on record favoring removal of the sales tax. it should consldc. other products. such as the newspaper industry. "There is a place where the tax

may well be taken off." said Sen- ator Mclfecn. "Canadian news- papers must compete with Ameri- can papers and magazines. This affects the distribution of news in Canada."

Senator Mclntyre

Senator McIntyre said he was opposed to the removal of the tax although he appreciated that Sen- ator Euler was concerned over the welfare of many Canadian people.

Senator Euler said all he want- ed for Canadians was to have "the freedom of choice." A reduction of the eight-per-cent sales tax on margarine would help housewives

DE'l'R.o1'l'. May 3 -(AP) -Fat people have two-faced personalit- ies less often than people of other body builds.

This two-faced, or split personal- ity. is the Jekyll-I-lyde characteris- tic, one of the most frequent kinds of mental trouble.

These findings were reported to the American Psychiatric Associ- ation today by Doctors Nathan S. Kline and Ashton M. Tenney of Lyons. N. J.
