us Get Food

From West Despite Reds

BERLIN, (AP)-More than 120,- 'll)0 East Germans defied Commu- nist threats and occasional police .ntsrferencs Monday to get food -elief packages from the West.

Red police, trying in some in- i'ancea to discourage the embar- maaing proof of poverty in the Soviet zone, stopped a few people returning from West Berlin and ieized their Western gift parcels of food.

The tide of hungry humanity nhich flowed through the Iron iurtain was too ovtrwhelming for 'he thin polioe lines which guard he East Berlin border.

Packed densely in long lines be- fore 35 relief centres, those who came waited patiently for hours 'nr their turn. Each received fat, flour, dried vegetables and canned .nilk.

so great was the crush that many had to leave empty handed. The supplies were there. but they fflllld not wait. They had come mm as far as 100 miles away, .'ld.lllK iiours on crowded trains, leaving their jobs for an entire day. They had to get back home iy nightfall.

The "come and get it" program was devised as a way of getting around the Krenilin's refusal to

The food given away was taken from the reserve West Berlin has built up against the menace of another Soviet blockade like that which almost starved the city in 1949-49. But it probably will be re- placed by the American food gift.

some who came from far away had to spend as much for trans- portation as the food would cost.

"But we can”. buy it at home," one explained. "Only once in a while can we get any lard or but- ter or milk. And then we can get it only in the ration free state- owned food stores where the prices are so high that no one but party officials can afford to shop there.”

Nearly 2.500.000 Casualties In Korean War

SEOUL, (AP)-The guns of war fell silent Monday night 37 months after the Communists brought con- flict, death and misery to this Asian peninsula with an invasion of South Korea.

Thus ended -- at least. for the present - a war that had cost the antagonists nearly 2,500,000 casual- ties.

Only five minutes before the guns ended their almost ceaseless mutter. the Allies cut loose with one tremendous barrage that shook the valleys and bruised hills of the central front.

Charges Contempt of Parliament

LONDON, Ont., (CF) - Prime Minister St. Laurent charged Mon- day night that the Progressive Conservative promise to reduce defence expenditures by more than 10 per cent is "contempt of parlia- merit."

Entering the home stretch of his election drive. Mr. St. Laurent des- cribed aa "thoroughly irrespon- sible" the promisea made by George Drew, Progressive Conser- vative leader, and Maj. Gen. 0. R. Pcarkea, V.C.. the party's military critic, to reduce defence spending by s25o.ooo,ooo.

"You have heard a lot from Mr. Drew and his party about what they are pleased to call the gov- ei'nnient's contempt of Parlia- ment." Mr. St. Laurent said in 3. speech prepared for delivery be- fore a Liberal rally in this Western Ontario university and industrial centre.

"The fact is we have shown any contempt of merit . . .

"But I suggest. quite seriously that this Conservative promise to reduce defence expenditures by more than 10 per cant really is lcontempt of Parliament."

HPVCT Parlia-

Evidence Given By Prospector At Inquest

By Bernard Dufraana Canadian Press Staff Writer GASPE, Que., (GP)-Two Amer- icans were reported Monday night to have been in the Gaspe wild- er-neas with three Pennsylvania hunters at the outset of a bear- huning expedition that ended in

gruesome murder.

Wilbert Coffin, 37-year-old pros- pector, testified at a coroner's in- quest that he was introduced June 10 to the two Americans, whose bear-mauled remains were later found scattered through the bush.

Coffin said he could not remem- ber the names of the "two Ameri- cans,” but he said they were driv- ing in a jeep. He believed the lie- ence plates were black with orange numerals. Pennsylvania. licence plates this year are orange with dark blue numerals.

Coffin testified before the jury returned verdicts, saying that two of the Pennsylvania hunters were murdered and that a third died of unknown causes.

The jury, after deliberating 30 minutes, found that Richard Lind- sey. 17. of I-lollidaysburg, Pa.. and

Pa., "were murdered by gunshot wounds by persons or persons un- known."

it found that Eugene Lindsey, 45, father of Richard. died of unknown CElll.185.

"Due to the torso and skull being completely missing and from evid- ence heard...our verdict is that Eugene Lindsey. died from causes unknown,” the jury declared.

Inquest into the bizarre deaths of the three men opened in the afternoon then was fladjourned to permit police to bring Coffin in from the bush. coffin said he hiid gone to his nearby mining claims Sunday night not knowing that the inquest was to be held.

First witneasu heard were Dr. Jean-Marie Roussel, Montreal medico-legal expert, who said there was evidence that young Lindsey and Clear were shot. There was no sign of violence, he said. on available remains of the elder Lind-

sey.

Coffin testified that the "two Americans" were introduced to him as "some friends from the states" by the Pennsylvania hunters. He estimated the Americans were 35 and 40 years old.

Although the two were intro- duced to him as bear hunters. he said he did not see any rifles in their vehicle.

Coffin reiterated what he had told police earlier-that he had met the Lindseya and Clear June 10 when their truck stalled atop a hill in mountainous country about 65 miles west of Gaspe. He re- turned to Gaspc with young Lind- sey to purchase a fuel pump.

It was on the return trip to the bush that Coffin said he met the two Americans in the jeep.

NEW YORK. (AP)--The uneasy ti-tics just launched in Korea is matched by uncaay business senti- ment in the United stats.

Both U. 5. government and in- dustry leaders are rushing to as- sure the public that this ceasefire won't change defence or tax plans on the one hand. 01" business mo- duction and expansion plans on the other.

Unoaslness. however, comes from two sources:

1. wiiieiy-hiizi bi-iii-t that the boom must be near or at its peak;

2. Fear that a psychological let- down after a cease-fire coupled with jubilation over Russia's in- ternal troubles will slow down government apendinx H I IIIIPIIOH of prosperity and also make con- sumerii and business men alike more cautious in their buying.

Red China Bid

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (AP) -A stubborn bid by Red China for a UN seat as a condition for a final Korean settlement is expected to be made at an early stage of the coming Korean political con- ference.

Some delegates say such a move by Peiping and Moscow would con- stitute a major threat to the suc- cess of the conference.

The United States and a number of other UN members are standing firm against such a move on the ground that the issue has no place in the Korean peace conference.

The general assembly, now in recess, will reconvene Aug, 17 to discuss the composition and site of the political conference. Ceylon leads as a possible meeting place, with the support delegation, which had a big hand in the truce agreement.

Geneva, where the UN has a building and the equipment nec- essary to service a conference, also is being considered, with the U.S. reported favoring that site. If there is no general agreement, some sources here say New York could be the place.

However, Asian sources said it would be as unrealistic to discuss Korea in Geneva .or any other

foreign ministers to discuss a Ger- man settlement in Singapore.

There appears to be little doubt in the minds of Communists and non - Communist delegations here that the Soviet. Union will take part in the conference. The U. S. has not stated its final position. but several countries allied with it iii the Korean war assert it would be completely unrealistic to at- tempt to work out a. solution on Korea without participation by the Soviet Union.

Moscow has maintained what the. Russians called a hands-off posi- tion in the war but has acknow- ledged selling equipment- to the Communist Chinese and North Ko- reans. Washington charges that Russia has been an active partner. The armistice agreement recom- mends that a political conference be convened within 90 days of the signing date. This would put the conference late in October. some delegates believe that the eighth assembly, beginning Sept. 15, will see extensive debate on the Korean political picture which may have a bearing on the political confer- ence. They expect the session will confine itself to setting up the UN side of the conference and picking a site.

LISCOMB, N. S.. (OP) -- Un- daunted by a week of misery in the stormy Atlantic and three days without food or water Mrs. Gwen Cameron of Bpringhill, N. 5., 30- year-old skipper of the yacht Gwenman, prepared Monday night to continue her cruise along the coast of Nova,Scotia.

Mrs. Cameron sailed the 42-foot yacht into port here Monday, end- ing a five-day sea and air search. She told a story of fog and giant seas, of hunger and thirst and de- termination not to give up.

The search began when the Ciwenman failed to arrive at Syd- ney July 20 from a 24-hour trip across Cabot strait. from New- foundland's south coast. Two alr- craft and six ships, including the cruiser Quebec sought the little craft without success. The vessel tint-ill,v arrived at Llscomb, 2.”)

financial Experts Have No Fear Of WorldWS-lump

By SYDNEY CAMPBELL

LONDON, tftcutersl-There is no reason to suppose that a Kor- ean truce wifl bring a world slump, financial experts in London said Monday.

Markets have had several nionths in uliicli in adyust themselves to the prospects of in. Korean armLs-

tice. The adiustmeiit. may have been completed in the last few days with the further falls in

prices of rastorii mnimodities such as tin. rubber and copra.

United States defence spending in the next year is likely to be as high as in the last year.,Businesa will have as much support as be- fore from that source, and it should not lack other support.

United States money policy has lately become much more encour- aging, and American business as ia whole remains high and stable. To offset any decline elsewhere. there may he prospects of more business with the Iron Curtain countries, particularly China.

At present on the western side, it would have to be confined to non-strategic goods butRiissia. her- self has lately been trying to widen it. For the first time in years she has been offering strut- egic materials such as chrome, manganese and platinum to West- ern countries.

French Fear ii Fresh Aid To g L . Indo-China Rebels

HANOI, Inclo-China. (AP)- French Union forces are bracing themselves against the threat of increased'Red Chinese aid to the Vietminh rebels in Indo-China now that the nghting has stopped in Korea.

With the silencing of the guns in Korea Monday, this vital gate- way io all southeast Asia became the number one hot-war front be- tween the Communist and non- Communist world. Loss of Indo- China would pave the way for Communist drives through Thail- and, Eurma and Malaya.

Although there was no evidence of increased activity along the country's northern border with Red China, French and Viet Nam of- ficials expressed deep concern over the possibility that the Chinese now would turn more attention southward to boost the quantities of war materials they have been sending in to the Communist.-led Vietminh.

The French were generally firm tin the belief there would be no ldirecv. intervention in the indo- ichiuese war by chinese ”iolun- iteers" or other Chinese forces, lisuch as happened in Korea.

Believe Party Chief Pardoned

MOSCOW, (AP)-Western diplo- mats here believe that Leonid G. Mciiiikov, fired from his post as Communist party chief in the Ukraine June 12. has been vindi- cated and rehabilitated by appoint- .nionr. assoviet Ambassador to R0- mania.

They rt-grird the sudden shift as one of the most. important devel- opments since the arrest of Lev- rcnty Berta, former minister of the interior.

Melnikov'a new appointment ob- viously indicates that the Soviet government, with Berta no longer a member, does not consider Mel- iiikov's faults and errors in the Ukraine too serious.

The appointment. also indicates that the rhargea made against Molnikov before Beria'a downfall have iieen re-examined by the lend:-rship of the Communist. party.

Malenkov of the Soviet Union sent a message nf good wishes to the North Korean govt-riiment. Monday on the occasion of the armistice, Moscow radio announced. He call- ed the armistice a "victory."

Malenkov's message to "comrade Kim 11 Sung. North Korean council ers. follows:

"The report of the signing of the armistice has given rise to great satisfaction among all Sov- iet. people, who consider the suc- oasfsul ending of negotiations in great victory for the Korean and the Chinese people's volunteers.
