T.L.C. Rejects Plan To

Unify Labor'

Groups;

Convention Concludes

By JOHN LEBLANC

WINNIPEG. Aug. 24 -- (CP) - Tiie Trades and Labor Congress of Canada Saturday knocked out the ides of a consolidation of Cana- d.an labor's forces.

The largest and oldest labor group in the country. at its an. nual convention, turned down I move to renew an association with other central bodies. The action was a setback to the hopes of the Canadian Congress of Labor for n unification of Canadals 1,000,000- ndd workers.

The C.C.L. has been trying for -ome years to work out "organic unity" of Canadian labor. Last year for a time, there was a na- tonal committee of the T.L.C.. the C.C.L., the Canadian and Catholic (loufederation of Labor to deal uith joint problems. The T.L.C. pulled out of this.

Charges Undermlning Efforts

Percy Bengough, president of the 602,000-membe T.L.C.. charg- rd Saturday that. the 350,000-

member C.C.L. was trying to use the committee to "undermine" the Trades and Labor Congress.

"They only wanted to co-oper- ate on the basis of how much they could take away from this congress." he said.

He did not mention the other congress' tie-up with the C.C.F. Party. but this has been one of the 'r.L.C.'s objections to a closer link with the C.C.L. Traditional- ly. the Trades and Labor Congress stiiys out of direct politim.

Two Me.Tin Tiger Moth Die in Wreckage

By Don Peacock

TORONTO. Aug. 24 -(CP) - Two pilots on opposite sides in the last war, nosc-dived their failing two-seater plane into B. tiny back yard in H. thickly-populated Tor- onto area Saturday and perished in the flaming wreckage.

The small aircraft, about five minutes out of the city's downtown Island Airport. didn't hit a house or building and crashed only a mile from it crowd of some 200,000 who jammed into the Canadian National Exhibition grounds.

The two men. waving and screaming for help, died seconds after the llglit aircraft burst into flames.

The victims were Charles Mc- Kay, 38. the pilot. and John Pret- ner, 30. both of Toronto. McKay flew with the R. C. A. F. during the second World War; Pretner, a native of Yugoslavia, was a. pilot with the German Luftwaffe.

No one on the ground. in the area near the busy west-central intersection of Bathurst and Queen Streets, was injured.

The Tiger Moth biplane lift the grotuid less than 10 feet from the rear of the Markham street house occpied by the Steve Bablik family. Its tail came to rest on a board fence. ,

Saw Plane Crash

Mrs. Bablk's daughter. Ann. was in the kitchen when the plane came down. she ran to a back bed- room and watched as the men scrcamcd for help.

"I tried to figure what to do but. things happened too fast," she said. "I watched the men burn to

to help." , Police said the two men rented the plane from an aerial advertis- ing firm which uses aircraft to trail slogans in the air.

The plane missed two houses containing at least a dozen people. William Connors. 27, said he saw the plane spin from about 500 feet. "It was twisting around. but seemed to lovel off about roof- top level, with the engine sputter- ing," he said.

"I saw the pilot fighting with the controls. Then all at once it seem- gcd to just flop."

Big Aluminum Plant Planned In. Alaska

MT. MCKINLEY NATIONAL PARK, Alaska. Aug. 24 - (APl-- Aiuminum Company of America said Saturday it will build a 5400,- 000,000 aluminum smelting plant in Alaska. i The company said the project hinges on the purchase of land and government approval.

Leon Hickman, vice-president and general counsel for Alcoa, said. the plant initially will be capable of producing 200.000 tons of aluminum a year.

Hickman said the plant will be in the Taiya Valley district. near Skagway. It will be privately fin- anced.

He estimated the Talya develop- ment will require about four years to complete.

Soviet Production Still

Behind West

Ilia will still lag far hehi d. If the 1955 goals are met. yearly Soviet production should be about: Oil, 70.000000 tons. The United States in T950 produced nearly 600000.000 tons of oil-about seven times the new Russian goal: teel. 44,000,000 tons. The U. S. in 1950 produced 90,830,075 tons of stel-more than double the soviet goaL

Pig iron, 34,000,000 tons. The U. 5. in 1950 produced 64.58fi,00'i tons of pig iron-nearly double the so- viet goal.

Coal. 373000.000 tons. The U. S. in 1050 mined about 556,000,000 tons of coal-about 40 per cent more than the soviet goal.

Western Europeans may take some comfort in these comparative figures but the Russians are still building up what The Economist called "it formidable potential for the futiire to be used as they think fit."

''It must never be forgotten," the weekly addui, "that the soviet economy can switch resources from civil to military production, from consumer goods to industrial equip- ment with a speed, ruthlesness and secrecy that no government in the free world could how M match in peacetime!

however, that nothing could be done to save the building. Fan- ned by a strong wind, the flames spread through the barn rapidly and in a. short time It was burned to the ground.

Fortunately the wind was blow- ing in the opposite direction from the house otherwise it would in all probability have gone as well.

Lost in the blaze, besides the barn, were one cow. is brood sow and ten young pigs and a large quantity of hay.

It could not be learned if in- surance was carried. Replacement. value on the loss sustained would be an estimated 57,000.00. -S

May Ask Parliament To

Tradition

OTTAXVA, Aug. 24 --(CP)- Par- liament may be asked to break with tradition soon by debating legislation concurrently with the Addres in reply to the Speech from the Throne.

The government is understood to be coiisiderin,: this as one way to speed Parliamentls work which has been keeping members in long sessions.

Canada has followed the tradit- ion that the Throne-Speech debate be completed before the Commons studies bills implementing the gov- ernment's legislative program. The legislation is forecast in the Speech from the Throne, read by the Governor-General at the opening of parliament.

Parliament approves this general outline by adopting an Aridress in reply to the speech from tho Throiie. Debate on, the Address generally- stzletnzhatvover s six-or iclght-week period.

This debate covers many subjects It. gives members a. chance to talk about problems in their respective constituencies. The result is that they have a load of work piled up' on the legislative agenda for the remainder of the season.

LONDON. Aug. 24 -r (AP) Europe's larder wont be so full this winter. ll

Summer weather upsets have trimmed most harvests. But out- side Yugoslavia and some Comin-, forn countries food will not be scarce.

For Yugoslavs things look tough. A 10-week drought slashcd one- third off most crops. However, re- serves from last year's big har- vest. probably will stave off a re- turn to ration cards.
