Display lletalls Hitler Days

BERLIN. May 26 -(AP) - A half-million or more disciplined East German youths. their blue uniforms sudden from. day-long dcwnpours. chanted and marched today in Berlin's biggest Com- munist show since the war.

The vastly-prepared Whitsuntide rally turned out to be a peaceful parade. not a putsch. By nightfall only one minor incident h-aci mar- red the demonstration. A Com- munist youth who beat up a news vend-or was arrested.

But it was r. parade which mocked and caricatured the West. euloglzed Stalin and the Soviet Union, and carried high the drum beats of hate-not unlike another day when Hitler's massed legions strode the same historic thorough- fare-Under Den Linden.

Troopers Get Big Hand

Today's biggest hand was saved for 10,000 grim-faced Jaclcbooted of the East German "People's Police," which the West calls an army. The dee-ply-tanned. drilled mass swept down Unter Den Linden and past reviewing stands in the Lustgarten in perfect military formation. In dark blue uniforms and red ties. they carried regular field kits but no arms.

The youth brigades. shouting "friendship. friendship” in cadence and clapping their hands in unison. reminded onlookers of Nazi "Sieg hells."

Youth Sentenced To Hang For Taxi Driver's Murder

VALLEYFIEID, Que., May 28 -(GP).-Kenneth Bevin. one of two I8-year-ol.l fat-mhands ac- cused of the Dec. 13 hammer slay- ing of taxi driver Luc Brunette. was convicted of murder and sentenced to be nanged Aug, 25.

Bevin and his alleged accom- -Patenaude. were flushed out of their haymow hid- lng place last Desemher by Fro- vlncial Police sacking to solve the Brunette slaying and the S800 rob- bery ot a I-Iuntlngdon district bank branch.

At a subsequent ccrcnerls in- quest, they admitted robbing he lmnk and the fatal beating of Brunette Patensude is yet to face trial.

Bevin paled but otherwise show- ed no emotion when Judse Fran- cois Caron prcr-ounced the death sentence after a Cr'minal Asslses jury brought in the guilty verdict following 35 minutes of deliberat- ion.

Defence counsel sought to show that Bevin was an honest intellig- ent youth -who was led into the crime by Patenaude. The Crown produced witnrsses who testified Bevin told them Brunette was struck from h.-hind in his c-r and his body hidd.-n under a bridge.

Jud-ge Caron told the jury "it would be minimizing to a great ex- tent the valve uf a life if you were to render snv other verdi t than that of guilty-"

Old Montreal Coliseum Is Destroyed By Fire -

MONTREAD May 28 - (CP) -- Qulck evacuation of roller-skating young people from the old Mont- real Coliseum prevented casual- ties tonight as the rickety wood- en structure went up in flames, Fire Department officials report- ed here. .

Scores of youngsters were skat- ing in the building when the fire broke out and roared unchecked through the structure's tinder-dry wood.

Fire equipment and ambulances were rushed from various parts of the city to the scene of the blaze. it was difficult to determine for sometime whether anyone had been trapped because thousands of Monfrealers took advantage of the warm summer evening to jam

into the streets around the Col- iseum located on Guy Street be- low Dorcheslcr in West-Central Montreal.

The fire broke out shortly be- fore 10 pm. and less than one hour later the Fire Department reported it under control.

The Coliseum is 70 to 75 years old and is constructed of wood throughout. Fifty to 60 foot flames shot up into the night sky. attracting attention from downcwn Montreal and from as far west as suburban Verdun. more than two miles away.

The building is used as a roller- skating rink during week-ends. After the blaze broke out, scores of youngsters carrying roller-skates over their arms gathered in the streets around to watch the blaze.

2,000 Police Seeking Slayer Of Constable

MONTREAL. May 2a - (CP) - Two thousand men from three police forces. spurred by the death of an R. C. M. P. constable from a band-it's bullets, combed Mont- real Island during the week-end for the hefty holdup man who shot two men in an attempted. bank holdup Thursday.

it was the greatest manhunt Oince three bandits shot and killed two city constabiu in a bank rob- bcry here nearly two years ago. The three were subsequently caught and banged for murder.

Top police officers warned that

their quarry this time is quick on the trigger. Mllhir man is armed and he's dangerous.” said Assistant in- spector William Fitzpstrick. "He might decide to make a fight for it if he's cornered. He's cold- bicode” and he's jumpy. He might shoot any one of you at any time, if you donit capture him first."

R. C. M. P. officers joined with City and Provincial Police after the death late Friday night of Con- stable Alex Gamman, 58.

Gamman was passing the Bes- ver Hall Hill branchgof the Bank of Toronto when he heard shots at noon Thursday. He dashed for the bank and received the fatal wounds from the bandit who had just shot bank manager gs. G. Bickley. The bank manager's wound was not serious.

Meanwhile. police put together a description of the bandit and traced his course from the time he fled the bank empty-handed un-

l

mm til he returned to Montreal Island early Friday morning. At that point the trail was lost.

He was believed to be a tall man weighing about 200 pounds and about 40 years of age. Police said they believe he is wearing a pair of grey-blue overalls over his pin-striped suit to cover up bloodstains from a wound which he accidentally inflicted himself in his flight from the bank

Signs Britain

,Into Peacetime Boom

By Alan Harvey

LONDON. May 28 - (CF: -AL most without anybody noticing it. Britain has stopped from post-war austerity into a peacetime boom.

The signs are two-fold. They range from cautious Government acknowledgment that "our dollar position is improving" to glow- -ing newspaper reports of indus- trial progress on the home front.

Along with these bright augur- -ies of boom times. personal frec- doms are growing. This Whit- sunday week-end. for the first time in 10 years. a motorist can buy as much gasoline as he wants. milk is off the ration. eggs are abundant and the chafing "points" system is Just a memory.

Two popular newspapers said it in headlines this week.

The Weekly Recorder. which avows its main aim is to defeat the Labor Government. proclaim- ed that Britain will slugger the world.

The Recorder argued in effect that things are better because the present political stalemate has on- ablcd business to escape from the steel corset of socialism.

Lord Beavcrbrook's Daily Ex- press. sn up-ard-at-'em newspaper also unfriendly to socialism. said business is boozning. . .

"the biggest boom in lriteufs

p should give improved performance.
