Acheson Declares ‘U.-So. Real Leader |n"Asia

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15- tAP)—State Secretary Acheson to- tiny prolected the United States as the real leader of the revolution- my urges he says are sweeping Asia.

in a foreign-policy address be- fore the Commonwealth Club here. he promised suppo r. and limited aid for non-Communist Indepen- tit-rice movements in the Orient. lip said Russia seeks only to per- \'crt for her own irnperialistlc pur- poses the changes soitght by half ill» peoples of the world.

Communists that “aggressive Jl‘ subversive adventures beyond their own borders" can only bring "grave trouble" on themselves and violate the United Nations char- tcr.

In outlining the kind of aid the ilnit.r-d States might extend to those resisting CommunlIm..Aches- on sketched the conditions under which he said it must be applied.

"The Asian peoples for the past srvcrni decades have been engag- ed in a revolution in which they huve been trylns to throw off the pti\'(‘l‘l)' of oppression of past can- turlcs. They have been striving for independence, better education. more widespread ownership of the land and control over their 0 dcsiiny." \

An extensive study of the tur- nip root maggot. which has been causing Island farmers growing concern of late, will be undertaken by the Science service Entomolog- ical Station here this coming sea- son.

Although the authorities say the maggot has been present in the Province for many seasons. it has not come into the limelight until the past year. The increased tur- nip prices and shlpplngs of the 1049 crop has resulted in more rigid restriction tests thus reveal- ing many turnips injured by the

But‘ those farmers whose turnips were not afflicted by the maggot are enjoying one of their best years. Yesterday it was reported that a dealer had offered 31.30 per bushel and had been fumed down by a grower. who was asking $1.40

These high prices hade been in- strumental in bringing out num- crous complaints about the maggot so that through the efforts of the Federation of Agriculture and oth- ers the importance oi the problem was brought to the attention of the Ottawa officials.

In. Sydney

SYDNEY, N_ S., March ]5-Pro- secutor Donald Flnlayson said to- nlght the Crown will be satisfied with a manslaughter verdict in the murder trial of former mayor Dan Jack MacLcun. ‘

MacLean was charged with mur- der following the death of Joseph MacKinnon in a darkened, muddy alley in south-end Sydney Dec, 13.

Mr. Finlayson made his statm mom in an interview after being asked about a point in his 55-min- gte address to the Jury earlier to-

ay. «.

Mr. F‘inln_vson told the Jury: "I don't think in all fairness, to the nrcuscti that it could be said that he intended to murder MacKln- non."

A Canadian Press reporter ask- ed Mr. I-‘inlayson "can this state- ment be fairly interpreted as an indication that the Crown will be satisfied with a verdict of man- slaughter."

Mr. I-‘inlayson replied: "That is the way I meant it."

Taking the stand in his own de- fence todiiy. MacLezin testified that he and Macxinnon went on en mar- athon drinking bout and sang Gaelic songs together the day of the murder.‘

He told the Supreme Court lury he fell asleep and can't .emember how the party ended.

The Crown said it ended with him driving his car over Mackin- non's body in the alleyway of this steel city where Macxinnon was registrar of voters. -,

MacLesn pleaded lnnocen to the charge that he murdered the 08-year-old cripple.

The former Mayor, lifl, ruddy- fsced and stocky. broke down and cried as he told of a life-long friendship with Mscxlnnon.

Accused Gives Evidence Murder Trial

Cmsewolllte leader "Says Gov'l Si_aling

OTTAWA, March 15 —- (CP) - By a vote of 155 to 55, the Com- mons today defeated a C. C. I‘. motion of non-confidence in the Government and brought towards its close a name-calling. hop-skip- and-jump debate on the Speech from the Throne.

As the debate ieetered on its last legs, an angry. noisy chamber heard Prime Minister St. Laurent and George Drew. Progressive Conservative leader, cross sharp verbal swords in a more-than- two-hour running battle of words across the floor.

Mr. Drew's contribution to the debate lasted 115 minutes; Mr. St. Laurent had his say in 12 minutes. .

Mr. Drew criticized the Govern- ment on a score of points, accus- ing it of "self—adulation." urging it to ditch i-is “strait-jacket" of exchange controls and repeating his party's demand for a coni- monwealth conference to open the floodgates of Commonwealth trade.

Mr. St. Laurent. with the pro- mise that he would purposely keep his remarks short. charged Mr. Drew with waging “partisan poli- tical warfare" and said he would leave it to the House and the country to judge the "value" of Mr. Drew's marathon speech.

The C. C. F. non-confidence mo- tlon. airaditional opposition thrust. was appended to a Progressive Conservative amendment to the main motion for adoption of the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. the parliament- ary vehicle through which the Government outlines its legisla- tive program.

It added a few words to the Progressive Conservative motion —-still awaiting a vote —- which charged the Government with de- liberately "suppressing'*.‘-loot yeasts‘ report of a flour industry com- bine and “faiiin-g" to take action to extpand markets. to inaugurate an over-all social security pro- gram and to take steps against espionage and communistic activ-

After the C.C.I-‘. amendment was disposed of. Solon Low. Social Credit Leader. announced his party’: intention of introducing a further amendment. He then ad- journed the debate.

In the l5i5-to-55 count. the C. C. F. group won support from the Progressive Conservative and So- cial Credit parties and two In- dependent members — P. E. Gag-

Minister Gives Renewed i Assurance Re Reefer Cars

-otrrswa. March is —<Speclal) -—R.enewed assurances that the needs of Prince Edward Island potato and turnlpgrowers for re- klgerator on would be met. were given in the House of Commons this afternoon by Transport Min- ister Chevrier. The Minister ad- mitted that he expected to be questioned on the subject by W. Chester S. MoLure. Progressive Conservative member for Queen's. and hence had come to the cham- ber prepared. .

Mr. Chevrier‘s statement was:

"’Ilhe present position is that on Prince Edward Island for loading at the moment are 220 reefer cars; in transit for loading 220 mar: which makes 440. And as i said be- fore. the Canadian National Rail- ways think that when the position is 350. it is a good one. Therefore I do not thtnk my honorable friend should be too greatly alarmed at the position of reefer cars on th'- Island."

"Thanks for the action." respond- ed Mr. M>cLure.

Broad grins and scattered laught- cr bloke cut in the Commons when Mr. Mci.ure prefaced his question to Mr. Chevricr with the phrase "ln the light. of disquieting tele- phone calls, telegrams and air- mail lctiers from Prince Ecitwtsrd Island farmers in regard to a shortage of cars."

To Keep Labor“ Under Pressure

LONDON. March 15 — (AP) - Winston Churchill may wait. until fall before making I major effort to unseat the Labor Government.

The old warriors atategy became nearer today after -Labor had sur- vlved its third straight skirmish with his Conservatives in the new House of Commons.

Conservative sources said that Churchill is keeping Prime Minis- ter Ati:lee‘s thin majority of six under pressum until he considers the time right for s big attack.

Many Conservatives, Labor mem- bers and Liberals admit that a de- cisive defeat of the Government, which would mean new elections. would embarrass all parties ijusi now.

The house is considering money bills. It must pass a budget next‘ month for the i950-51 fiscal year to keep the government machinery running. An election would inter- fere. v

The February election csmpeign also left the major parties short of funds. They need time to rebuild their finances and political mach- lnes.

Conservative guesses as to when Churchill will attempt his big push range from June to October to next February. Most of them cen- tre around the autumn. The suin- mer is considered unlikely, since politicians point out ii; is a bad time to electloneer.

But Arthur Blank Farmer. hand-

in the post-war trials of Canadians who spied for Russia. said the writing on the will and on may- nolds’ cancelled cheques was id- cntical.

Judge Ambrose shes the validity of the will:

“I find that the signature of the document was written by the de- ceased . .. there is no evidence that he was not of sound mind at the time of making the will."

In the witness box. Miss Mac- Donald testified that after becom- ing acquainted with Reynolds dur- ing his visits to Edmonton. she moved to Toronto in mi and lived in an apartment he maintained for her in the east-end Beaches dis- trict. she was known in Toronto as Mrs. Irene M.
