Mountie Counter-Espionage

T Operator Dies

OTTAWA (CP) -—The end of one of the Mounties’ most famous and fascinating stories came dur- ing the night in a small Ottawa apartment. ‘

Superintendent John Leopold, 68-year-old counter - espionage

specialist with the RCMP for 34 years, was found dead in his

centre-town apartment Saturday..

He lived alone and apparently died in his sleep during the night.

A native of Czechoslovakia, Leopold had no relatives in Can- ada. While funeral arrangements were not completed Saturday, it was considered likely the RCMP would have a major part in han- dling them.

It was Leopold’s years of un- derground work within the Com- munist party in the 1920s that brought him to sudden fame in 1931. Largely on his evidence, eight leading Canadian Com.mu- nists were jailed five years for belonging to an illegal organiza- tion and, participating in 2 sediti- ous conspiracy.

KEPT IN TOUCH

So valuable were his experi- ences and knowledge to th RCMP that he Years past the normal retirement age of 60. Since 1952 when 1.e fi- nally left the force, his Mountie friends say he kept up his acquaintance with Communist ac- tivities through avid reading.

Leopold, who never married, Was physically not what Mount- ies are usually supposed to be. He was only five-foot-six, about 150 pounds—until his enjoyment of good cooking put on extra pounds in his later years.

But his Mouiitie career that began in 1918 followed more closely than most that legend of daring and bravery for which the force is famous.

He came to Canada in 1912 at

In 1920 he became a full- fledged secret agent and a year later was invited to join the Com- munist party. He used the name Jack Esselwein and for seven ‘years kept his police connection hidden. _

Telling of these years after his retirement, he s-aid:

“I let it be noised around Regina that I was sympathetic to the Communist movement. I was seen at radical meetings. They heard about me and it wasn't

one of their officials inviting me to join the party. .

Cyrus Eaton Charges U.S.), Turning Into Police .-State

“I think (the FBI has) had a tremendous build - up, wonderful propaganda—so1d itself in a mar- velous way, but I always worry when I see a nation feel that it is coming to greatness through the activities of its policemen. And the FBI is just one of the scores of agencies in the United States engaged in investigating, in snooping, in informing, in creeping up on people. It has gone to an extent here that I think is very alarming.”

KEEP ALIVE SUSPICIONS

Eaton said screenings, finger- printings and other such proced- ures associated with so - called “classified” work in industry were superfluous. “They keep alive the spirit of suspicion, which is one of the things that plagues us,” he said.

Eaton -said the aura of secrecy that surround-s some industrial operations is “just a hallucina- tion and an emphasis on the im- portance of the police side of our government."

On the cold war, Eaton charged that mainly the politicians. and people in government office were the forces that made it Amer- ica’s fault.

“. . . They h-ave believed that communism is a frightful thing ‘that ought to be de royed and

that any suggestion I: at it be al-

lowed to live is betraying our country, and all of that is folly," he said. IMPOSSIBLE TASK

No Speed-Up - Expected I-n A Summit Talks

MOSCOW (Reuters) — The snails - pace diplomatic prepara- tion for summit talks among the Big Three Western powers and Russia is not likely to be ac-

celerated by the latest Western message handed over here Sat- urday.

The Big Three note, while grudgingly accepting Soviet For- eign Minister Gromyko’s request that he meet the British, French and American ambassadors indi- vidually and not jointly, raised a further point unpalatable to Mos- cow by callin-g for discussion of a summit agenda before other mat- ters.

can do to make (Russia and China) give up communism or to overthrow them."

“I don't for a moment say that they are not without their very serious objectionable qualities,” he added, “. . -. but I am sure that-any intelligent Russian has given up any notion that the United States could ever become Communist."

“America is a capitalist coun- _try,” Eaton continued, “it’s one that’s devoted to free enterprise and democracy and there‘ just no power in the world thaf .-ould kill us all. But you never could -make Communists out of us. And to imagine that you could is just silly.”

N0 COMMIES’ IN U.S.

Eaton s-aid “there are no Com- munists in America to speak of except in the mind of those on the payroll of the FBI.”

He said he h-ad selected Pug- wash as a site for his sponsor- ship of meetings among scientists from the free world and Commu- nist countries because “it would be impossible probably to hqld them in the United States be- cause of the restrictions.”

The exchange of ideas flowed freely at those meetings, he said, and "the man who was a little more cautious for political rea- sons was our brilliant American representative.” He did not name the representative.

Among the American delegates to the meeting last month were Dr. Leo Szilard of the University of Chicago, Dr. John Edsall and

Report Finds: And U.S. Relations Cooling

LONDON (Reuters) The world’s largest bus system rolled to a halt early today as 50,000 workers went on strike for higher wages and empitied London’s streets of its famed red double- deck buses.

The strike officially started at midnight (8 pm. ADT) leaving the world's largest Western city without mass transportation as the subway-s had closed for the night.

Drivers and conductors, who had ignored government pleas to call off the strike, were warned

/I-IALIFAX (CP) — Opposition Leader Hicks told the legislature Saturday he felt the 1958 session was “the most badly a-rranged” of the 12 years he has been a member.

The former Liberal premier at- tacked the government for bring- ing in much of its major legisla- tion late in the session which ended early Saturday.

“M a n y important measures were introduced with the last week or 10 days of the session," Mr. Hicks said. “In many cases passage of time is necessary for public opinion to be formed on bills of importance to the people." - Premier Stanvfield said it was true some important measures were delayed but the House could sit longer if that was the wish of the rescuers.-......

LENGTHY SITTING

Bill after bill was driven through the legislature during a 6%-hour sitting that began Fri- day night and ended at 2:32 a.m.

proved later Saturday by Lieut- enant-Governor E. C. Plow who prorogued the House, until a spe- 'cial ceremonial session in Oc- tober to mark the bicentennary of representative government.

A three per cent tax on retail sales was approved to raise the necessary monies for Nova-Sco- tia’s share of costs in the Na- tional Hospital Insurance Plan. Legislation setting up the ma- chinery to operate the plan was also approved. Both measures are effective Jan. 1, 1959.

While the legislature dealt with bills and estimates Friday night, the law amendments committee was discussing four bills to set up Judgment Recovery (N.S.) Limited. The measures would turn over _the government - op- erated unsatisfied judgment fund to private insurance companies.

SURPRISE Movn

In a surprise move, Premier Stanfield moved an amendment of the government legislation in committee - of - the - whole. Ed- ward H. -S.

Suspected Train Robber Captured After Escape

PORT HOOD, N.S. (CP) ——Sus- pected train robber Russell Ross was back in jail Sunday after a daring escaupe that triggered Cape Breton’s second manhunt in less than three weeks.

The 38-year-old former railway clerk was awaiting transfer to the Nova Scotia Hospital at Dart- mouth for psychiatric treatment when he and Robert John Caron, 21, made their brief bid for free- dom early Saturday morning. Ross is charged with the April 16 armed robbery of the Sydney Night Express. The loot, including $10,000 worth of postage stamps, was recovered.

Both men were captured the same day, one hour apart. Ross suitrendered quietly at Baddeck, about 35 miles from here, at 5 p.m. ADT. He told police he was on his way back to Port Hood to give himself up. A tip given RCMP by a motorist who gave Ross a lift in mid - afternoon seemed‘ to bear this out. The

motorist, unidentified, told police

,i‘\

Ross had said he was going to surrender.

‘Caron w a s apprehended at Sheet Harbor on the Nova Scotia -mainland, about,60 miles from Halifax, after running afoul of a police roa.dblock. Police said he was driving a car reported stolen earlier in Port Hood. Caron is wanted for break, enter and theft. APPEAR TODAY

Both men are scheduled to ap- pear in magistrate’s cou-rt at An- tigonish, N.S., today on charges of esca-ping custody.
