As Hunt. one of 40 volunteer searchers who started to hunt for the missing boy last Monday night. came up to him. Luc cowered and

"Peace" Marchers Touch Off Brawl

NEW YORK. Auz- 2 -(AP)-- Leftist "peace" marchers-banned from heavily-guarded Union square --defiantly clashed with police to- day in a tense. noisy brawl.

Ari estimated 2,000 marchers formed ranks amid thousands of ” workers at the height of the rush hour.

"We want peace-open up the square." they cried.

A 1.000-man police detail - stat- ioned like an army around the square-spent an hour breaking up the demonstration.

Flats flew at times and several injuries were reported. At least one window was smashed.

Thirteen of the marchers were ar- rested. most of them charged with

J ay conduct or assault.

The sudden flare-up threw the vast rush-hour crowd into a turmoil. Most of them were not demonstrat- ors but ordinary oitisens on their way home.

The New York Labor Conference for Peace originally scheduled the "peace rally" protest the atom bomb and to call for mediation in Korea. nut police refused them a

Causes Fire In Slolen Geiawayjar

TIMMINS, Ont. Aug. 2 -- (CF) - A faulty brake drum on a stolen auia mobile started a fire today which chanted two mine bandits of almost 3100.000 in gold.

The car. owned by a 62-year-old watchman whom two hooded men overpowered before blasting open a vault at nearby Conlaurum Mines Ltd.. was found gutted by flames about 25 miles east of here.

Three gold bricks, weighing a total of 216 pounds. were in the debris of the rear seat, abandoned by the thieves only a few minutes after their escape from the mine.

Police said the faulty breakdriim set fire to the gasoline tank of the rnr as the bandits rounded a curve. The flames apparently! spread to the back seat and. in al matter of seconds, engulfed the: automobile, '

Oxygen tanks used with acetyl- ene equipment in the robbery were tossed from the car in time to pre- vent an explosion whicli would have killed the thieves. police said.

The bandits might have recover- ed thc gold despite the fire. it wasn't until about 10 A.M. --some the hours after the robbery that the car and its rich cargo were discovered by Provincial Con- stable R..A. (Rusty) Baldwin. on highway patrol. l

Police assumed the fire must have been about 6 A. M. at the latest, long before Constable Bald- win happened by.

Biggest Gold Robbery

It was probably the biggest gold robbery in Canadian history. police said. They called the job the work of skilled professionals who appar- ently planned it for a long time. Their methods indicated they knew the Ccniaurum layout and that the gold had been poured only yester- day in preparation for shipment to the mint at Ottawa today. i

Police said the bandits might have doubled back to Timmlns af- ter the fire. Another car was stolen here early today. They also work- ed on the possibility that the thieves had an airplane waiting.

Company officials said there were 216 pounds, troy weight, of gold. Official Canadan price is 338.50 an ounce but the stolen bars would have brought much more at underworld prices.

The robbery was two months to the day after a 875,000 job at an- other district mine. Delnite. The three bars stolen from Delnite were recovered a few days later in thick hush near the mine; two men. both mine employees, are awaiting trial.

CANBERRA. Aug. .'i-(Thursday) -(Reuters)-Foreign submarines have been operating off the coast of Australia during the last few weeks, it was officially disclosed here today.

Some of ihe submarines were believed to have been identified but Australian auth- oriilcs were maintaining strict- Plt SPCFRCY about the national- ity of the foreign power con- cerned,

First reports of His presence of submarines were stated to have been given by fishermen operating off the north coast of Australia.

It was believed that some of the submarines sighted included the most modern long-distance and high-speed types in the world.

Subsequent extensive sea and air searches led to the defection of a number of ocean-going sub- marines in other areas near the Australian coast.

Australian liuihoriiii-ii were understood to have sought infor- mation from major world powers. but their inquiries had produced inconclusive results.

Australian authorities were said to consider that the submarines had been sent to the Pacific to test latest developments in under- water technique.

Reports of the presence of sub- marines was understood to have

In Ottawa, a Labor Departnfcnt official said the Government is watching the dispute which, while not involving the running trades. could affect every branch of the railroad.

The dispute began a year ago when two big union groups in- cluding )5 International Brother- hcods and the Canadian Brother- hood of Railway Employees (C.C. L.) and the Brotherhood of Ex- press Employees (C. C. L.) served their wage-hour demands an the carriers.

The Canadian Brotherhoods ask- ed for s l0-cents-hourly wage in- crease and the 40-hour week in- stead of the present 48-hour week with no reduction in take-home pay. plus the check-off for union dues. The International Brother- hocds sought a seven-cent increase and the 40-hour week.

Conciliation boards recommend- ed a cmripromlse which was re- jected by the unions and strike votes were iaken.

LAKE SUOODIS. Aug. 2 - (AP) -U. S. Delegate Warren R. Aus. tin to the United Nations heated- ly rejected today any "deals" for a settlement of the Korean war.

Austin turned down for the sec- ond straight day in the Security Council a Russian move to link the question of Red China's gn. trance into the U. N. Wl'.li the Korean war. He said the United States will never agree that the end of the North Korean aggres- sion depends on any other issue.

"So long as men are dying on the battlefield in defence of the United Nations." Austin said. "this Council, will not wish to cheapen their suffering or sully their heroism by seeming to engage in the consideration of deals."

Auaiin also l'0.l0cl0d again a Soviet move intended to irate:
