LAKE SUCCESS. N.Y., Oct. 6 _ iCPi Attorney-General sh- Hartley Shawcross of Britain to- dfly t0id\the United Nations the Communist Governments of East- "YK 511F000 are using exactly the Same measures to suppress free- doms as were used by Nazi Ger- many,

RBDression o! freedoms within countries often is the forerunner °f iksresslon by those countries, Sir Hartley warned the so-mem. bar special political committee of the U.N. General Assembly,

Attacking the "travesty of just- l“ in Hiinzery. Bulgaria and Romania, Britain's chief proseeu. tor at. the Nuernberg trials gave an BXDianation of how confessions are drawn from those who have (all. en out with the Communists. He said it is not done with drugs but, bl’ I psychological softening-up process.

He said knowledge is gradually bill"! built up about what happens during the time prisoners o! total- itarian governments are held in- communicade before being pres. ented in public, when they w". fess.

Noting that it is not usual for guilty men to confess, Sir Hartley said the confessions in the polit- cial cases in Eastern Europe form "s. most sinister feature."

He added: .

"It is not a question of drugs, nor always of actual physical ill. treatment. It is more subtle than that.

"Tha" 511ml Places of detention

are the ,. ychological laboratory of the secret police, "The prisoner knows that his fate is already sealed. The only thing for him is whether he can act in a way which will, as he ls 10d t0 think. mitigate the conse- quences to the cause in which he believes, his religion. his party, or will save his life or that of his friends.

“By playing upon these ideas, and in other ways, these helpless victims are ‘softened up,’ ‘condi- tioned’ and eventually induced to make confessions."

OTTAWA. Oct. 6—-(CP)—C. C. F. representatives in the Commons found opptbsltion in all quarters 1°08)’ to a bill which would have brought. Canada's meat-packing in- dustry under the provisions of the Federal Labor Code.

Progressive Conservative and Social Credit members lined up solidly with the Liberals arid In- dependents to defeat the bill by an overwhelming 171 to 10.

introduced by Alistair Stewart (CCF-wlllnlbeg North) the meas- ure would have made that part of the meat-packing industry operat- ing in two or more Provinces sub- Ject to Federal labor legislation.

"In matters of collective bar- galnink." the bill's explanatory note said, "the industry will then be able to negotiate on a national basis and the Government of Can-l ada will have the authority to deal with disputes in an industry whose smooth functioning is essential to the national economy."

A North Risatico sewing club team of Misses Louise Doiron and Alvlre LeClalr won the Provincial Sewing Club contest yesterday afternoon and with it the right to represent the Island in the Do- minion sewing competition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto this November.

The two girls sewed up the championship and trip with a total of 150 points out of a possible 200 i to lead the runner up Tryon team of Misses Fern Howatt and Eleanor Toombs by 15. The Tryon team scored 135 points.

Seventeen girls representing seven Island clubs took part in the competition. This showed an in- crease of thirteen over last year and is due in large part to the greater organization of clubs through the tireless efforts of the Women's Institute.

The contest was sponsored by the Women's Institute and held in their quarters in the Provincial Building on Grafton Street. The judges were Miss Doris Anderson, Provincial Home Economics Judge, and Mrs. W .A. Reddin, Charlotte- town.

The two girls will leave for the Royal Fair on November i1. They will be accompanied by Miss May- l6! Bosivell, Supervisor of the Provincial Women's Institute. The Department of Agriculture will sponsor the trip.

CITAWA, Oct. 6 — (CP) —Par- liamentary corridors buzz these ; days with gossip that the Govern- ment looks with some favor on a proposal that a Canadian be ap- pointed the next Governor-Gen- erah

The talk appears to have been ehgendered by a resolution placed on the order paper by Bona Arsen- ault, Liberal member for Bona- venture constituency in Quebec. It says the Government should select and s mmend a Cana- dian to the King.

Three years ago Mr. Arlenauit suggested that Rt. Hon. W, L. Mao- kenzis King, former Prime Minis- tsr, be chosen Clove. or-Genersl on his retirement from active politics.

The Government has given no formal indication that it agrees a r. ... a .. b‘ n . . . However, gossip has it that Prime Minister St. Laurent and the Cab- inet have given the suggestion fa- vorable consideration.

length of a Governor-General‘! term, but in the past appolntmea‘ have ranged from three to seven years. Five years is generally the accepted length.

Appointments to the post are made by the King on the advice of his Canadian ministe n. This means that the Canadian Govern- ment ratifies the selection of the King's representative in Canada.

Any Government decision on the matter, say the members, would not be announced until it is known how long Viscount Alexander will agree to fill the post. The selec- tion of a Canadian for the sitlon likely would mean that it wou be occupied by a non-title person for the first time since 1001.

In the gossip several prominent Canadians are mentioned as pol- sible choices. Heading the llat is Mr. King, who retired last year ms ‘“ a record la the of- fice of Prime Minister.

Mrs. D'Aqulno, 33. daughter of a 106 Allgeles and Chicago grocer, stood with eyes downcast. She showed no emotion as the sentence was pronounced by Judge Michael J. Roche. ,

Roche acted following denial of motions by her counsel for a direct verdict of acquittal, arrest of judg- ment and a new trial, and a plea for clemency.

»“I couldn't believe they would send me to jail." the young woman told reporters shortly before the sentence. "My conscience is clear.

Nirs. D’Aquino was convicted of treason Sept. 20 after a trial last- ing three months. Specifically she was convicted of one overt act charging she had broadcast to American tnoops after the battle of Leyte:

QUEBEC. Oct. 6 — (CP) - Trial by Jury on a murder charge laid after the crash of an airliner that killed 23 was ordered today for expressionless J’. Albert Guay. 32- year-old Quebec jeweller,

The order was given on the third day of a preliminary hear- ing duririg which 27 witnesses gave evidence believed by police to reveal a plot by Guay to destroy the plane with a time-bomb.

The jeweller is charged specific- ally with killing his prctty, 28- year-old wife, Rita. though the crash at Sault au Cochon. Sept. 0, took the lives of 22 others includ- ing three high executives of the Kennecott Copper Company.

The slim. thin-faced jeweller was committed by greylng Judge Laetare Roy, who was satisfied that witnesses heard since Tues- I day brought out sufficient evidence to justify s full-fledged trial for Guay.

Guay took the decision of the painstaking senior judge of Que- bec Sesslons Court with the calm shown in his ppearances in the prisoner's box since Tuesday.

When asked if he had anything to say in reply to the testimony of witnesses brought forward by Crown Prosecutor Noel Dot-ion, Guay replied quietly: “No.”

He made no other comment and his dapper little lawyer. Bertrand Marcotie, announced no defence witnesses would appear at pre- sent. n

There was brief argument before the- whispering courtroom crowd over the data of the trial. The suave Crown Prosecutor asked that the Only ease be tried during the Autufhn criminal assizes term opening noal Tuesday.

Ir. Marcotto protested that the Crown, preparing its case, had the benefit of the work of many investigators. Re said lt would be difficult to put together the jew- ellers defoncfln time for an Autumn trial.

Judge Roy said lie had no power to put the trial of! until next spring and its date was tentatively

set for Nov. 7. Actual trial date will he fixed later.

For the noisy audience which poured into the courtroom early today the end of the hearing was sudden. They had expected to hear witnesses in addition to those who already testified that Guay had tried to have his wife poison- ed and had obtained i0 pounds of dynamite and an alarm clock detonating device last summer.

They were anxious to hear tho story of his attractive acquaint- ance, 19-year-old waitress Marie- Ange Robitaille, whose name was mentioned during the hearing and who had been due to appear in the
