Gen.-Br-adle-y Gives Views Iii Hearing

By Don Whitehead

WASHINGTON. May 13 -(AP) -Gen. Omar Bradley told Semit- ors today that Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur's Korean war plans "would involve us in (he wrong war. at the wrong place. at the wrong time and with the wrong enemy."

with this sweeping statement. the chairman of the U. S. joint chiefs of staff rejected the Mac- Arthur program for stronger measures against Communist China. He said such a move would "increase the risk of global war" at it time when the United States is not ready for a showdown with Russia.

Then Bradley lined up Defence secretary George Marshall in holding out hope that ihe Chin- cse Reds can be forced into peace terms without the risk oi-sprend- mg the war.

"We think." he said. "that if we can punish the Chinese severely enough in Korea...llien we will be in 3 position. and they will be in an altitude. where some kind of an agreement may be reached

James James

and a settlement made."

i A major upset in the election rc- 'tums for the First District of Queen's was indicated yesterday as Judge 0. st. Clair Trainor presided over the official I t 1 ed by one of the Progressive Conser- vative candidates. Mr. Frank Myers who contested the seat for Assem- blyman. His Liberal opponent. Hon. F. A. Large. Minister of Education. had held an unofficial majority all one vote. In the recount yesterday, Mr. Myers ended with a majority of four votes. '

The recount proceedings were adjourned to Saturday mornin-zl due to the necessity of calling ini the Deputy Returning Officers ini Hope River and Kelly's Cross. However. it is not believed that the votes involved will make any difference in the final results as there are only two qucstionablci ones. ,

Yesterday's proceedings were held in the Supreme Cottrt room and lasted all day. Beginning in the morning, they were interrupt- ed briefly for luncheon and supper and continued until after 10 p.m. last night before the final poll was. checked.

During the day many ballots were questioned by the represent- atives of the two parties. Those under dispute were improperly marked. some of them had just straight lines drawn in tlie voting .spa.ce instead of the cross requir- ed by law. Others had check marks. inverted lV's' or other ir- regular signs. Many of the ballots had erasures or other indications of voters apparently changing their minds.

There were no major changes in any of the 20 polls, but there were one-vote differences in several of them. Compared to the unofficial results of the morning after the election Mr. Myers yesterday Rain- ed three votes while losing none. Mr. Lame gained two. but he also dropped rive to leave a net. loss of three. At the time of the unof- ficial returm Mr, Large was ap- parently leading 1492 to 1491. At. ilie completion of the compilation yesterday the figures were Mr. Myers 1493 and Mr. Large 1469.

The recount requested for Sec- ond Queen's will be held tomorrow morning, The candidates in that district were Mr. W. R. LePage. Liberal. who trails by five votes on the basis of the returns filed earlier. and his Progressive Con- servative opponent, Hon, R.R. Bell. Leader of the Opposition.

During the entire proceedings yesterday it was noticeable that jQueens County Judge C. st. Clair iTrainor made every effort to be lfalr to both sides. if there were

any Ioubt. of the validity of a bal-

lol. he gave representatives of both

Small probing attacks flaredi during the night along the Chun- chon sector. That town. 45 miles northeast of Seoul, is the key to." road networks leading southwarcli in the mountainous centre of the i peninsula. 1

Neither side controls the town. although Allied patrols have ent- . cred it almost daily for the lasti 10 days. i The Reds crossed the Pukhani lRivcr southwest of Chunchon ;during the night in undisclosed 1 numbers. They moved under Lcover of showers and iow-hang- ing clouds and occupied high ,ground just south of the river.

Tito second Red movement was across the Choyantg River where the Communists planted a bridge- head several days ago in spite of heavy Allied artillery fire. This. column moved to a point 15 miles 1 due east of Chunchon and con- tinued southward. i

American troops tangled with the Reds southeast of Chunchon in several small but sharp clashes. i These were thought to be Rodi attempts to feel out Allied de- fences.

The hearings subsequently were postponed to Sept. 10.

The lawyer. explained the rail- ways' present inabilltv to produce an equalization plan based on the March report of the Royal Com- mission. said they want to see which of the "self-contradictory" recommendations the Government will order implemented.

He did not indicate which re-i commendation: the C. N. R. con- siders in this class.

Government legislation based on the report new is in the final stages of preparation, it is to be brought down at the present ses- sion of Parliament.
