Blame Careless Use Of Torch For Hospig Fire

MONTREAL. July 5-(CP)-Care- less use of an acetylene torch to- day was blamed for the June 15 fire in the Ste. Cunegonde Hospice which resulted in the death of 86

persons. Blame was placed on an un- identified worker by Fire Coni-

miasio is. Jean St. Germain. K. C., in a written judgment following a two-day inquiry ending last Thursday. '

The commissioner ruled that the blaze resulted from negligence of the worker who used the torch to cut. rivets. "without having first taken precautions demanded by this dangerous work."

A group of workers were install- ing an elevator in the six-storey brick and wood structure when the fire broke out. Working at the top of the elevator shaft, two workers were cutting rivets with the torch and the commissions said sparks apparently fell to the third floor and set- ablase tarpoulins that

blocked the shaft openings.

Reds Agme To Safe Conduct for Alli:

TOKYO. July 0-- (!"ridayl-- (AP)--The Communists agreed to- day to guarantee the safe conduct of Allied liaison officers to a Sun- day meeting on preliminaries for a cease-fire in Korea.

This cleared the last obstacle in the way of the preliminary session at Ksesong. near the 38th parallel. The meeting will lay the ground- work for the formal conference Tuesday.

A Chinese-language message to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgivay, sup- reme United Nations commander. was broadcast from Peiping at 8 A. M. (6 P. M. Friday, EDP).

Signed by Generals Kim Ii Sung of North Korea - and Pen Teh- Hunt of the Chinese Red "volun- teers." it said they agreed to Ridgways requests of July 5. These included the safe-conduct guarantee and permision to send two interpreters with the Allied emissaries.

However. the Reds specified that the envoys come to Kaesong by jeeps. rather than by helicopt- er as Ridgway had proposed. This. the message said. was "for their more certain safety and to cut down the po.asi”'lity of misunder- standing."

It said the Chinese and North Korean delegations also would :go to Kaesong by jeep and truck on the road south from Pyongyang.

Totalling almost eighly entries in the three classes, the eager youngsters gathered to present

what proved to be one of the feat- ures of the entire week of festiv- ities. .

Brig. W. W. Reid. chairman of the Festive week Committee act- ed as Master of Ceremonies for the occasion. slid fifteen attract-, ive and talented majoretles, led the parade as it moved off around the arena.

One of the contestants who did not enter the contest. but should have received ii prize for best en- tertalner. was the large-nosed. fur- coated clown who appeared prev- iously in a parade. As this genial gentleman walked slowly around the floor he pushed before him a baby carriage built in 1800. taking its occupant out from time to time to tend its needs.

Fine Turnout

Following the young ladies and receiving cheers and loud applause from the audience was the Queen Square Cadet Band. After the band the nineteen decorated tricycles moved off. and these featured characters such as pir- ates. farmers. cowboys mic harn- ess racers. one of these latter, completely dressed in satin driving

OTTAWA. July 5-(CF)-A com- mittee of high government offic- ials today embarked on the dell- csto task of working out the de- tails of the visit to Canada this fall of Princess Elizabeth and her husband. the Duke of Edinburgh. The committee opened the first of what probably will be I. long series of meetings until the royal couple arrive early in October for s three-week. coast-to-coast tour.

Suggestions Trickle l.n Meantime, communications be- gan to trickle into the capital from across the country. bringing sug- gestions as to the routs the royal tour should take.

The route and the stopping- places will be determined by the committee, subject to the Princess's approval.

However. the trip is not expect- ed to be the whistle-stop. stats dinner and parade of psgeantry type of jaunt which marked the mo royal visit of the King and the Queen. It is noted that Princals llizsbeth herself. in accepting Canada's invitation. asked that the visit be kept as simple as possible. The comm'uee is headed by Charles stein. under-secretary of state. As his right-hand assistant he has Howard Measures. the government's chief of protocol.

May Adilrsu Parliament

The committee will have to de- cido whether--again subject to ills approval of the Princess her- self--tho hoirsas presumptive to the throne should address a Joint session of Parliament. The fall session is scheduled to open Oct. 0. The royal couple are expected to siill from the tliiiietl xlnsdoni line in asptamber and roach Ottawa before Parliament opens. However. the possibility is being considered that Prince. Elisabeth may re- turn to tho Capital to adore: the House of Commons and the sen-

sto in. a joint maetina. H N, ,

The possibility arose also today. that she and Prince Philip mayi make a side trip to the United? States. as did her parents when they came to this continent in l939.r

President Truman told his week-l ly press conference that. the Prin-j cess and her husband would be, welcome in his country. However,! he added that he had no immedi-. ate knowledge of their plans.

A London dispatch reported that the Princess had been informed of. the President's statement. but that custom would require a for-I mal invitation before she could reply. .
