He could not. he went on. under- mfnd W9 "ClllNnllvy howlers" who was a "satanic delight" in pre- dicting bad times.

He noted that Clarie Gulls had reported that there were 57,000 un- employed in the Maritimds at this time. and countered that figure with a statement that the number of Maritime unemployed actually was 13,000.

Mr. Gillis had said. too, that there was unemployment in Nova Scotis mines, but, Mr. Mitchell contended. there were more men employed in the Nova Scotia min- ing industry than ever before,

He Asked the House membership if any of thcm,had tried to hire a Carpenter. a painter or other con- struction worker. There were none to be had. They all were working.

He said he would sooner see but.-i ter selling at a high price while he had a dollar in his pocket than see it selling for 15 or 20 cents a

pound while his pocket was empty. As to a suggestion by Ross

Thatcher (CCF-Moose Jaw) that the, Dominion should contribute vi "fair" share of direct relief in a depression. Mr. Mitchell said "bad money drives out good." and add- ed without explanation: "I wouldn't invest the Province of this time." A.L. Smith (PC-Calgary West) suggested Labor should get a big- ger share of industry's profit dol-

a dollar in. Saskatchewan at

r.

As the House moved into ii gen- eral debate on labor during Labor Department estimates. Mr. Smith said industry and labor within themselves should be able to find some way of giving the workers , . elgoortion of,.the profits as

hese increased.

"It should be realized that cm- ployees are a. part of the profit system and that when profits in- crease. they are entitled to more." said Mr. Smith. labor spxlalist for the Progressive Comervatives.

The veteran labor lwwyer said, too, that some means should be devised to give workers a year- round income instead of having them prosps us at times and "starving" at others.

Speed Work On H-Bomb”

Navy Geisdireen light To Try Atomic Sub

WASHINGTON, June 10 -(AP) -President Truman today was re- ported ready to ask Congress for s300,000.000 to speed development of the super-powerful hydrogen bomb.

It was a secret. however. whether the money would be used for act- ual construction of the world's first H-bomb-heralded as perhaps 1.000 times more powerful than the original atom bomb-or for ex- panded research.

A member of the House of Rep- resentatives apprcrprlations commit- tee. who asked his name withheld, said he understood the money would be spent entirely for con- struction work at existing atomic installations.

In another atomic development, a bill authorizing the navy to spend S3-50,000,000 on a revolution- ary atomic-powered submarine and other new weapons was approved by a Senate armed services cem- mlttee. The measure already has been approved by the House.

Besides the atcmic submarine, the bill would permit the navy to build a big new submarine report- edly capable of remaining under water far longer than the so-called "snorkel" sub, and to convert a cruiser into a guided-missiles ship.

The President's reported forth- coming request for S3-00.000.00o would mark the first time that money has been sought directly for Work on the hydrogen bomb.

Truman gave the momentous order last January for the Atomic Energy Commission to go ahead with attempted development of the new weapon. At that time. estim- ates ranged from sioo.ooo,oao to 54.- 000.030.000 as the possible cost.

since January. the Atomic Easy Commission. had guardeclly

aborted. some "reahutfling" of pro-

ts and personnel” :to push the program along. but it has not ask- ed, ymecific appropriation for the H-bomb.

Big-Time Gambler Faces

60 Years

cy. or a 00-year prison sentence.

Rather than stake his chances on a courtroom trial, Erickson plead- ed guilty to 59 counts of bookmak- ing and one of conspiracy.

The paunchy. 54-year-old gamb- ler. admitted kingpin in a coast- to-coasi. sl2.500.000 - a - year bet- booking business. stood tensely beside the defence table in special sessions court as Judge Nathan 8. Perlman asked:

"Does the defendant plead guilty to each of the 60 counts?"

”Yes." Erickson said firmly.

District Attorney Frank Hogan said the evidence against Erickson was "so overwhelming"tiut a guil- ty plea was his only alternative.

The plea. ogan said, spells the end "for all imc to come" of the gambling activity of a man he called "the biggest and most no- iorious bookmaker in the United States." .

Erick: . a mild-mannered. bald- ish little man who has never spent a day in jail in his life. was or- dered back into court next Mon- day for sentencing. He was re- manded on 010,000 bail until then.

Hogan said he will ask the still- eat sentence possible.

The gambler could get a maxi- mum of a year in Jail and a 8500 fine on each of the op counts, or a total of 00 years and 030,000 in fines.

There were reports that Erick- eon pleaded guilty in hopes of lessening his pu ishrnent. and to protect his we thy betting cus- tomers from exposure in court. Several New York businessmen. some of whom bet up to 015,000 A day. testified before the closed session: of the, Grand Jury that brought charges against Erickson.

By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor TORONTO. June 19-(CP)-Here are some things that may interest

you:

A filter which promises to make it unnecessary to ever change the oil in your car: instead, change the filter every 2,000 miles.

A synthetic resin, still in "blue- print" stage, which acts like a starch and will stay in your shirt collar or other clothing through five or six washings.

Another resin which, when ap- plied to fresh vegetables, will al- low them to stand for 10 days without losing their freshness.

These and many other things are being discussed at the four-day conference of the Chemical insti- tute of Canada, which opened to- day. They are things which will revolutionize living in the next few years.

Nowlan iiegains " former Seat in Annapolis-Kings

(By The Canadian Press)

Three Federal by-elections yes- terday sent two Liberals and up Progressive Conservative to the House of Commons.

The Liberals were victorious 0 two heavily-populated urban rig: ings.

In Halifax and Montreal Cartier the Liberals retained the seats they held before the by-elections were called.

Samuel Baicom won the vacant seat in the dual Halifax constit- uency and Leon D. Crestohl won for the Liberals in Montreal Cur- tier.

Captured Old seat

in Annapolis-Kings, in Nova Scotia's apple belt. George Now- lan captured the seat he held be- fore the 1949 general election. He won over Angus Elderkin, Liber- al, who was returned in 1940 by five votes but the election sub- sequently was voided.

Mr. Balcom. a druggist and Trade, took an early lead over his two Halifax opponents. Lloyd Al- len, Progressive Conservative. and Rev. .l.W. A. Nicholson. C. C. F.

Mr. Crestohi. a Montreal lawyer making his first appearance as a candidate, also held the lead from the start of vote counting.

It was a four-way fight in Mont- real Cartier.

There the Liberal winner was opposed by Harry Binder, Labor- Progressive. Maurice Hebert, Pro- gressive Conservative. and Kalmen Kaplansky. C.C.F.

In Annapolis-Kings, Mr. Nowlan. a lawyer. lacked the majority of the winners in the other constit- uencies but the race wasn't the close finish provided in the 1949 general election.

Quietcarnpalg ,

Balloting climaxed a quiet cam? paign with tho contests attracting

, ,1ittle outside interest. Nine candi-

dates ran for the three seats form- erly held by Liberals.

Standing in the Commons as polling began was:

Li-berals, 186; Progressive Con- servatives. 42; C. C. F., 13; Social Credit. 10; rtindependent, five; In- dependent Liberal, three; vacant, three. Total 262.

The only incidents reported were in the Montreal Island riding. Pc- iice arrested 30 persons. including two children, for distributing La- bor-Progressive Party pamphlets without a permit and a warrant was iuued for the arrest of John Switzman. agent for the L. P. P. candidate, for giving a false ad- dress at a polling station. in Montreal Cartier the Com- munist L.P.P. was trying for a bomeback after winning the seat in two previous by-elections. Fred Rose. now serving a six- ycar penitentiary term for his part in the Russian spy case. won it for the L. P. P. in a 1043 by-election and in the 1945 general elections. He was unseated after his convic- tion and the Liberals took it in the resulting 1947 by-election and the 1940 general election. Results:

Halifax (Final for night) 306 of 386 polls.

bery was carried out in Alberion at the home of Mr. Alfred Folcy.l merchant. when a case containing, his records and a sum of money; cstimated to be in the vicinity of 31000 was stolen.

The robbery occurred sometime after nine o'clock in the evening during the absence of Mr. Foley. Mrs. Foley was at home during the evening and thought she heard footsteps outside the house. which is some distance from the road. but paid no attention to them. it is believed that the th eves reach- ed through the window after re- moving the screen which was not f booked and extracted the contain- 1 er of money. it. was apparently, possible to do this without enter- in the room. -

Up to last evening there were no further developments in the one except that authorities had located the bag which contained the money some distance from Mr. Foley's home. '1 R. C.M.P. officials are continuing the investigation. 3

Housing Construction In Canada Shows Increase

OTTAWA. June l0-tCP)-Can- adians have gone on a home build- ing spree which has sent housing loans climbing despite a current temporary lumber shortage.

A feeling that rental controls are "on the way out" was given by an official of Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation as one explanation of the building boom which last month sent joint loans under the National Housing Act to an all-time high of 031.000.1300.

This represented an increase of 107 per cent over the 811,851,020 reported for May. 1940. There were 3.308 loans against 1.800 in the cor- responding month a year ago.

The May peak helped drive the total loans during the first five months'of 1950 to 14.355. valued at 398,447,377 and almost double the 7.594 approved during the first five months of HM. The values of the
