May Not Give Support
'i'ait's mention of the labor law. and of the secretafyrdeblsmi-9'5 stand on it, opened up the quest- ion of just how much co-operation Eisenhower can expect on legislat- ire matters from the senators who usually follow the 0hloan's lead.
Labor is a bitter opponent of the Taft-Hartley law with its provis- ions for anti-strike injunctions.
Dui-kin makes no bones about wanting more revision of the labor
law than Taft is likely to accept willingly, and he already has sug- gested new powers for the Labor Department that Taft may not
want in the hands of a man whose selection he has criticized so round- iv,
Durkin sought to pour oil on the troubled political waters. He said "rafts strong criticism "does not dim my hopes" that the new Eisen- hower administration and organis- ed labor can reach full agreement
on labor legislation in the new Congress.
There was no comment at all lrom Eisenhower.
But Taft's statement aroused speculation that he might try to block the Durkin appointment in that senate. All cabinet jobs are
subject to senate confirmation.

However, as reporters approach- ed a knot of troops, an officer cautioned, "No beefs, no beefs."
"That's the biggest grip," Cpl. Cameron said regarding the fact that Canadian wives aren't allow- ed to join their soldier husbands.
"Another one is that we couldn't have overnight or week-end pass- cs. We were allowed a 12 o'clock pass every night and I 2 a. in. pass once a week."
The sergeant himselrf had answer to this.
”There"s a good reason for not giving week-end passes. You nev- er know what you might be tang- ling with over there. There are good Jerries-and there are a lot still on the Communist side. 000- If the men were to get a week- end pass, and get filled up with that 22 per cent German beer . . 3
Despite the high reputation of German beer, and its equally hlsh alcoholic content, the Canadians would still prefer the brew ,made at home Cpl. Cameron said.
For those who wanted if, there was no shortage of liquor.

Youihlul Soldier Jailed For Deal With Communists
BOVINGTON, 1-lertford, England, Dec. 2 - (Reuters) - A youthful British soldier, who wanted to give army secrets to the Communists, was jailed today for one year- convicted by his confession to an ace security investigator.
Fair-haired Trooper Tony De- wick, 18, was sentenced by a. court- martlal for trying to pass to Communists information he picked up in a tank-training centre here.
Dewick said nothing at the hearing. The damning evidence was a statement he made to Wil- liam James Skardon, the man who induced Klaus Fuchs to confess that he gave atom secrets to the Russians. Fuchs is serving a 14- year prison term.
"I wanted to do something for the organization to wh.ich 1 be- long, and I thought it was im- portant to be loyal to it," Dewicz told Skardon.
Dewick admitted his "organiza- tion" was the Young Communist League.
Skardon asked, "Do you realize the natural consequences of your act would be that perhaps in a month you would find yourself passing information to represent- atives of a foreign power?"
Dewick answered, "I can see I was heading for disaster. It is my own fault for being too stupid."
The lawyer defending him argued that the information he could have picked up in camp could not have been top secret. But the prosecu- tion sald that much of the avail- able material would ba of interest to an enemy.
These included reports about the performance and capabilities of armored equipment and also a report on defects which had de-
veloped when Britain's prized Centurion tank was used in Korea.

Seek Aoquiiiai Of Mrs. Piire
OTTAWA, Dec. 2 - (CF) -The Supreme Court of Canada today was asked to acquit Mrs. Arthur Pitre, convicted of murder in the time-bombing of a commercial air- liner in Quebec Sept. 9, 1949.
Irence Simard of Quebec, coun- sel for the 43-year-old woman. asked for her acquittal on the grounds that she had been con- victed on insufficient evidence.
The Quebec Court of Appeals by a 3 to 2 decision rejected ii similar appeal. Mr. Simard said the two dissent-lng justices would have acquitted Mrs. Pitre for lack of evidence that she knew she was delivering a. time bomb to the plane which exploded and took the lives of 23 persons.
Chief Justice Thibaudeau Rin- fret said he is not sure that the court has the authority to hear the appeal. He asked Mr. Simard to show the court tomorrow that the Quebec Appeal Court had dis- sented on matters of law. If there was no dissent on matiters of law then the Supreme Court. could not do otherwise than dismiss the ap- peal. '
Mrs. Pitre is the third person convicted of murder in the time- bomb plot. J. Albert Guay, Que- bec jeweler, was hanged Jan. 12, 1951, for the murder of his 28-year- old wife, Rita, one of the passeng- ers aboard the plane.
Motive for the plot was a 325,000 insurance policy and the love of a pretty waitress.
Genereux Buest. 54-year-old crip- pled watchmaker, was hanged Jan. 25 last for manufacturing the time bomb that blew up the aircraft.
Mrs. Pitre, sister of Ruest, was
due to be hanged Oct. 1'1. She was given a stay of execution pending the outcome of her ap-
peal to the Supreme Court.
Hearing the case with the Chief Justice are Justice J. R. Cartwright, R. L. Keliock, Patrick Kerwin, Robert Taschereau. C. H. Locke and Gerald Fauteux.

change expressed concern today at sharp fluctuations in the prices of
certain stocks.
0. E. Lennox. securities missioner, commented:

it is very disappointing now, what- ever may be the cause, to see such speculation in stocks."
D'Arcy Doherty, president. of the

Liberal Association held at the Charlottetown Hotel last evening. over which the President, Mrs. G. S. lnman. presided.
Approximately 100 ladies and gentlemen heard Mrs. Embree urge the women of Canada to aa- sume a greater interest and re- sponsibility in the welfare of the ('0UTlil'y. "Slightly more than iialf of our population consists of wo- men." she said. "and we have a duty and responsibility to guard well the heritage which is ours. The time has gone when women can retire into their homes and shut the door behind them and pull their own personal worlds about them.
”Many women," hrce, ”arc prone to look upon public issues, economical issues and things of that kind as being beyond their concern, as some- thing not connected with their home. There is not a single thing that happens in the political or social world that does not have it's impact on the home."
Mr. Roland MacDonald moved a vote of thanks to the speaker for her inspiring address, the mo- tion being seconded by Mrs. Benj. Rogers, Jr. Other speakers were Premier J. Walter Jones, Messrs.

Givio Clioliticsw-Ho Longer Stronghold For Men In Ontario
By The Canadian Press
Ontario women demonstrated Monday that civic politics is no longer a manic stronghold.
Two of 10 Ontario cities which held civic elections-Ottawa and Woodstock-reserved the mayor's chair for women.
Each defeated a. male candidate in a two-way race, the stocky, en- ergetic Miss Whitton beating Con- troller Leonard Couiter. it man with 12 years' experience in city council, and red-haired Mrs. Smith winning handily over Fred Childs, whom she also defeated last year.
The' election of the two women highlighted elections in which 29 Ontario women gained civic office. Four cities elected women aldermeii --Mrs. Grace Hartman in Sudbury. Anna Hughes in Waterloo, Mary Mack in Cornwall and Mrs. Doro- thy Pickup in Fort William.
Immediately after she received
the news of her election, Miss Whitton-possibly for the first time in her life-was speechless. Later she admitted that Mr
Coulter who led early in the race, ”Gave me one of the toughest fights I ever had."
The 56-year-old welfare worker, writer and lecturer, is noted for her voiubility, and can talk rings around most men on almost any subject.
Tuesday she announced a three- polnt program which she hopes to see completed during her two- year term as mayor.
lier program will embrace low- rental housing. more equitable distribution of Federal Government grants to the city, and establish- ment of R new city hall. Ottawa has been without a city hall since the early 30!, when the old one burned down.
Among her problems will be the choosing of Board of Control port- folios for the four male controllers
to fill vacancies in the Ottawa Transportation Commission and the Hydro Commission. There L1 speculation that she may give one of the posts to her defeated op- ponent, Mr. Coultcr.

Visiting Here En Route To Hfid.
Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Bell, of Car- nerbrook. Newfoundland, spent the week-end in the City cn route to their home after attending the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto. While here they renewed acquaint- ance with several government of- ficials and visited a number of farms &'n the vicinity of the city, under he guidance of Mr. Lou Roper, including the Experimental Farm, and those of Premier Jones, Col. F. I. Andrew, A. MacRae and Son and Major Mocftiie.
Mr. Bell, who came from Perth- shire. Scotland, seven years ago, is manager of Hammond's Farm property of the Bowater Pulp and Paper Company, at Cornerbrook. At present they are feeding 150 Ayrshires, as the development there IS confined exclusively to dairy cattle. A staff of 30 operates the farm during the summer months zvhich is cut to 20 during the win- er.
Breaking new land and the de- velopment of acreage for farming continues throughout the year, and with the erection of the most modern farm buildings and the installation of adequate equip- ment, the farm is rapidly assum- ing the proportions of a model of effective farming production.
Previous to flying from Sydney to Stephenville. Nfld., they expect to call on their son who is a first year student at Mount Allison University, Sackville.
Plastic Buiions Being Used To Repair Hearis
DENVER, Coi., Dec. 2 -(AP)- Plastic buttons are being used to plug up dangerous holes insidel children's hearts, a, surgeon an- nounced today.
Four children are well and ap- parently improved with their but- toned-up hearts, Dr. Henry Swan. University of Colorado Medical School, told the American Medical ksociation.
All were born with a hole in the septum. the inner wall separating the two upper chambers of the heart. Blood could gush back and forth making the , heart work harder. All faced danger of death from heart failure.
The plastic button is sewed up against the hole. In a few weeks. smooth tissue grows over the but- ton.
In some youngsters, didn't close the hole
the button completely
but blocked it enought to bring improvement, Dr. Swan said. A fifth child. whose heart already
was failing, died a fow days after the new operation.
Neat sewing puts the button in place. Both sides of the chest are opened. The button slips through the incision on the right side and plugs the hole in, the seplilm. The heart keeps pumping all the time.
A second new operation, quick and delicate, has removed shell fragments lodged in the hearts of two Korean war veterans, Dr. swan reported.
The blood flow through the heart is shut off by clamps, while. the surgeon opens the heart to see and remove the metal. The sur- geon has only 1 1-2 minutes for this work for the blood flow can't be shut off safely any longer than that.
