EUCLIDE LEBRUN TRAPPED AT SPOT MARKED \"X\" (Record Photos by Gerry Lcmay) Ex-Minister Wins Liberals, PCs Split Elections OTTAWA (CP>\u2014A young den list has held (he Manitoba constituency of Springfield for the Progressive Conservative government but a former Liberal cabinet minister has taken over Toronto Trinity.Monday's voting\u2014light in both ridings\u2014saw Liberal Paul Hell-yer in Trinity inflict the first by-election setback on the government since the 1957 general election.In Springfield, the Conservative vote was down almost 3,000 from last March but still was sufficient to elect Dr.Joseph Slogan.A resurgent Liberal candidate took over second place from the CCF.The results restored the stand ing in the 265-member Commons to 208 Conservatives.49 Liberals and 8 CCF\u2014just where it was after the March 31 general election.The Conservatives had stood to achieve a new Canadian high in the number of Commons members ever held by one party, set at 208 in March.In four subsequent byelections, they have retained Ontario and Manitoba seats, taken the Liberal stronghold of Montmagny-LTslet in Quebec and been forced to return Toronto Trinity to the Liberals.EXPECT COMMENT Prime Minister Diefenbaker, just back from his world trip, was expected to comment today.Liberal Leader Lester B.Pearson called the results a \u201cpowerful stimulus\u201d and an indication beyond doubt of public uneasiness regarding government policies.Liberal party circles were jubilant about the addition to opposition ranks of Mr.Hellyer, 35.who served briefly in the last Liberal cabinet as associate minister of defence, representing Toronto Davenport from 1949 to 1957.He is a construction company executive.Mr.Hellyer polled 5,074 votes to 4.313 for the Conservative, Dr.Joseph L e s n i a k, 26, another youthful dentist and the winner\u2019s only real opposition.John Elchuk, CCF.had 1,640 votes and Sam Walsh, Labor-Progressive (Communist) 480.M Ï0 Backs Berlin Stand PARIS (AP)\u2014The foreign ministers of the Atlantic pact countries agreed today to stand firm against Communist pressure on West Berlin.West German spokesman Felix von Eckhardt said in the first mccling today of the Atlantic council there was \u201cfull agreement by all 15 NATO nations on the Berlin problem, especially in the rejection of the Soviet ultimatum.\u2019\u2019 The ministers also agreed to advise the Russians that the big Western powers are ready to negotiate at a high level for a general settlement of the problems of Europe.These would include reunification of Germany with Berlin as its capital and European security measures and disarmament questions, a Norwegian diplomat reported.PROPOSED FREE CITY Russian Premier Khrushchev's Nov.27 note called for an end to the four - power occupation of Berlin, turning West Berlin into a Communist-surrounded, demili-tarized free city within six months.Meanwhile American diplomatic military planners were reviewing how to deal with the Russians and East Germans should Khrushchev carry out his Nov.27 threat.He said if the Berlin free city plan was not accepted, Russia would give East Germany control over Allied access to West Berlin, which lies 110 miles inside the Communist state.In a communique Sunday, the Big Three ruled out suggestions that they might deal with East German border inspectors or air traffic controllers as agents ol the Soviet Union in order to gel supplies through the Red ar^a.This left the West with the.single alternative of using force if East German inspectors and controllers demand to be treated as representatives of a sovereign na lion.Today's Chuckfe Not enough dads are on spanking terms with their children.Jobless Total Climbs OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Unemploy ment in Canada at mid-November stood at 361,000 for an increase of 65,000 over the same time last year, the government estimated today.Between October and November the number of jobless seeking work rose by 48,000.The total of unemployed showed a slight drop from a year earlier, but the number at work in nonfarm industries was up by 34,000 to 5,121,000.Besides the mid-November jobless total, another 18,000 were on temporary layoff at Nov.15, practically unchanged from October and from November, 1957.Mao To Quit But Remain Boss, Says US WASHINGTON (Reuters) \u2014The slate department believes that Mao Tsc-tung is preparing to resign as Communist China\u2019s head j of state.An authoritative source said I today that the United States government \u201chas received reliable ; information that Mao is likely to resign,\u201d probably next month when the National People\u2019s Congress meets.But high officials rejected the theory, current among National 1st Chinese authorities on Formosa, that Mao was being forced to relinquish his post because of divisions in Communist China's | command.They expressed belief that Mao wants to free himself from the ceremonial aspect of his job in order to work behind the scenes and force on to the country the j system of resettling millions of Chinese in vast, regimented communes.Final Toll 2 Dead An inquiry opened loday into the cause ol > erteulay's explosion in I n I Sherhiooke which claimed iwo lise» and injured 20 people, I he second victim of ihe blast was found crushed to death under a cement Gaii-case at about Lit) p.m.\\ es-terdny.Rescue workeis had loilei for more than seven hours to reach him Official cause of the blast will not he known until after the inquiry, but fire depat t-ment officials say they believe it was caused by propane gas.The two dead men were both employed by contractors working on Raby ci Frcrc building.They sre: Joseph Laroche.49.of Itmti 1\u2019aci.ic Sire.I an rl -ctrician; and Kuclide Lebrun, 34, of SI.Elude Brampton, employed by S.anblas G r o n d i n, con'racL.r building a howling alley beside Raby's store.Laroche was taken from Ihe wreckage yesterday morning.Lebrun.father of five children, was taken out after rescuers had removed a cement staircase, weighing an estimated two tons, and other rubble.None of the injured was Four Die WASKOM, Tex.fAP) \u2014 Four children, ranging in age from 22 months to eight years, were burned to death Monday when fire destroyed their frame home.Neighbors were turned back by flames when they attempted to enter the home.Could Go To Privy Council Roncarelli Case Decision Soon Socreds Hold Sommers' Seat TRAIL, B C.(CP)\u2014The gov-erning Social Credit party clung to Rossland-Trail riding Monday in a provincial byelection that saw the party\u2019s winning margin reduced sharply.Donald Brothers.35 \u2022 year - old Trail lawyer, collected 3,129 votes \u201430 per cent of the 10,396 ballots cast\u2014to win the hotly contested byelection, the first in British Columbia in more than a year.OTTAWA (CP)\u2014The Supreme Court of Canada is expected to bring down judgment shortly in an unusual damage suit that has been before various courts for more than 11 years.It may yet end up before the Privy Council.The case, which has religious undertones, involves Premier Duplessis of Quebec and former Montreal restaurant owner Frank Roncarelli.It is unusual because it is believed the first time a provincial premier has been sued personally for damages.Mr.Roncarelli is demanding $90.000 damages on the ground that Mr.Duplessis ordered cancellation of his restaurant liquor licence, putting him out of business.CHARGED CONSPIRACY The premier has defended cancellation of the permit, Dec.4.1946.on the ground that Mr.Roncarelli, an adherent of the Witnesses of Jehovah, took part in what Quebec courts\u2014later overruled\u2014then regarded a \u201cseditious conspiracy\u201d by the religious sect.The decision may not close the case.Either party, if dissatisfied with the judgment, still may take it to the judicial committee of the Privy Council in London.The suit was initiated in 1947, before Canadian appeals to the Privy Council were abolished in 1949 The nine Supreme Court judges have had the case under advisement since early June.They can dismiss in whole or in part Mr.Roncarelli\u2019s claims, or they can order Mr.Duplessis to pay damage.LONG LEGAL BATTLE Originally, Mr.Roncarelli, who started his damage suit six months after cancellation of the licence, sought $118,741 from Mr.Duplessis.Quebec Superior Court awarded him $8.123 in May, 1951, about four years later.In April, 1956.the Quebec Court of Appeal quashed the judgment.Mr.Roncarelli, now an employee of the St.Lawrence Seaway Authority, then took the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.For about two years prior to cancellation of his liquor licence, Mr.Roncarelli had acted as bondsman in 393 arrests of Jehovah's Witnesses for distribut- \u2019 ing pamphlets of the sect without a municipal police permit.One of the pamphlets, entitled \u201cQuebec's Burning Hate,\u201d was ; at the time regarded by the Que-: bee courts as seditious.This legal view was later overruled by the Supreme Court.CLAIMS GOOD FAITH Frank R.Scott, law professor at McGill University, Montreal, presented Mr.Roncarelli\u2019s appeal.L.Emery Beaulieu was 1 counsel for Mr.Duplessis.Mr.Beaulieu argued that even if Mr.Duplessis ordered Mr.Roncarelli\u2019s liquor licence cancelled he did so in good faith, believing that Mr.Roncarelli used the licence to make money with which to pay bail for the Witnesses so that they could continue wha! were regarded, at the time, illegal activities.Mr.Beaulieu admitted before the Supreme Court that Mr.Duplessis ordered cancellation to remove Mr.Roncarelli's financial power to post bail for the Witnesses.Mr.Scott contended that every citizen has the right to give bail.critical condition today although sorqf suffered burns, cuts and broken bones.DEMOLITION WORK Meanwhile, contractors and demolition workers continued to- [ day to clear away the brick, steel and wood rubble lefl by the ex plosion.The three storey Raby building and warehouse was demolished.Raby was a furniture and appliance dealer, speeiali/.ing in gas-operated stoves and equip ment.A refreshment stand was also flattened.No one was in it at the j time.A house 150 feet down King street was split in half by the I explosion.Miraculously, oceu-Ipants of the building, including (several children, escaped with ! minor injuries.Only one wall of! I the two-storey tenement was left standing, the shattered rooms gaping open.Unofficial estimates of damage (have run as high as nearly a million dollars, but a Raby company official told the Record yesterday the damage would amount to about $300,000.The building was insured.The blast occurred as workmen were preparing to resume | laying foundation for a new j bowling alley behind the build-j ing.It w;as estimated that 35 to j 40 people were in or around the i building at the time.Two company officials, Hubert and Rene Raby, were among j those rescued from the building J alive.Both were treated at hospital for injuries BOTTLED GAS\t.The dore housed a quantity of dIOST Hits OlOtlOn bottled gas, but one fire depart- - ment official said he believed the explosion was caused by a kick back in a gas furnace.Gas was also being used to keep cement from freezing on the contruction job.II was also speculated that there might have been * gas leak.At the proper mixture of air and gas, a spark or flame will cause a violent explosion.Fire Director Percy Donahue, who led the rescue team* yesterday, said the blast was the worst of its kind in his experience.It shook the city and rattled windows over four miles away.The concussion had strange effects.It broke windows along Wellington Street, but jumped from side to side of the street, a« if selecting certain windows GENERAL VIEW OF WRECKAGE SHOWING WHAT'S LEFT OF HOUSE RESCUE WORKERS REMOVE JOSEPH LAROCHE'S BODY Firemen Were On Job Yesterday Sherbrooke firemen were on the spot in record lime for yesterday s explosion on King Street East.In fact, they were almost vie- ; tims themselves.No 4 Fire Station is just down the treet from Raby et Frcrc, the three storey, brick building which blew up.The blast, which sent a shock Continued on page 5 School* Closed NEW YORK fAP) - The fire department has ordered 33 schools in the city to close in a continuing campaign against fire hazards.Twenty \u2022 one of the school* have been permitted to reopen after corrections were made.The campaign was spurred by the disastrous Chicago school fire in which 92 persons died.Fiver Ice Traps More Freighters MONTREAL fCP) \u2014 Ice was piling up rapidly Monday night jin a jam across the St.Lawrence River just downstream from Montreal Island, presenting a fresh barrier for 19 saltwater ships caught above it.It added new complications to plans of the department of transport to get a total of 33 ocean freighters on their way to the Atlantic, 800 miles distant.The new jam, three miles long, was growing steadily off Cap.St.Michel as ice pans flowed out of Laprairie Basin off Montreal, i wave raring crazily over the city, blew in all the basement windows of the station.Then the shock wave rushed up the stairs and blew the heavy fire station main door outwards, splintering wood and breaking glass.Firemen immediately went to the seene, where they began rescue operations.Fortunately, there was no fire, although a brief flare up of flames was reported at the time of the explosion.Several of the injured suffered burns.The flame- were believed to be burning gas.Lieutenant Emile Choquette of No.4 station had a narrow escape from flying debris.\"1 was standing near the window when the explosion occurred,\u201d he said.\u201cAll of a sudden, this thing came flying in the station and missed me by about a foot.\u201d He displayed a chunk of cement.Lieut.Choquette said a desk in the fire station jumped from the floor and moved six or seven inches.He said he saw boards flying through the air between tele- I phone wires after the explosion.The fire department was besieged with calls about the explosion.The force of the blast ; was felt all over the city and | broke windows a mile and a half away on Wellington Street.The force was so strong that jmany people thought the explosion had occurred near where they happened to be.At least one alarm system a mile from the scene was set off \u2018 by the explosion.New York Still Without Papers NEW YORK fAP)\u2014Negotiator* were to try again today to end the continuing shutdown of nine major New York daily newspapers.The 4,500 - member delivery men\u2019s union went on strike 'against the papers a week ago in a dispute over wages and working conditions.The walkout followed a rank-and-file rejection of a $7 wage package offer that had been tentatively accepted by .unions negotiators. 2 gHKRBROOU DAILY RECORD, TUESDAY, DEC.16, 1858 KINGSBURY \u2014 Mr, Rtymood Mi Monne, of Afclwito», with hi* f»ther, Mr.mm m r.PREMIER CINEM John Ag»r \u2022 Juno Konnoy \"ATTACK OP TH6 PUPPET PEOPLE\" Luclllo Boll \u2022 Dotl Arnot \"LONG, LONG TRAILER\" Itch.Johnny Wtittmullor \"TARZAN THÉ APEMAN\" Walter McMonno, of Rlchm o n d, * were gueati of hi* brother*, Metir*.John McMorine and W.B, McMorine, and Mra.W.B.Me Mormt.Mr*.MeM»»rlne h im-; porvmg after her recent illi>e*t.Mr.Eddy Whitehead, of Brig-jhaa, was a weekend gueet of hi* brother-in law and atster, inlaw, Mr and Mr* Alexarwler lr-!

Canada's role in the Commonwealth, a subject of increasing I comment, is likely to be raised; j often in 1959.One probable talk-1 mg point will be Mr.Diefen- ! baker's 54 - day Commonwealth and world

Diefenbaker.Trade Minister Churchill and Defence Minister Pearkes earlier this year, it was momenta nly refreshing to bear Foreign Minister Smith say this week that he's \"not one of those ' who contend they have been badly reported, I say \"momentarily \u2019 because, for ail his being \"not one of those\u201d.Smith proceeded to confess thal he had been \"surprised'' at newspaper stories about what he had said at the recent Colombo Plan meeting concerning possible Canadian diplomatic recognition of Red China.Continuing, he put the record straight on what he said he had said and had intended to mean.He thus added substance to the cynical comment that this government is probably the most misquoted government tn history.* » \u2022 But in the department of alleged misquotation, not even the \"minister without foundation\", a« CCFer Hazen Argue dubbed Churchill last session, can equal the feat of Lionel Chevrier, who is in effect Liberal leader Pearson's chief of staff in the Commons.The purport of the Chevrier ca.-e is that he was misquoted.But from the circumstances, it is apparent that the only person who can properly be charged with misquoting Chevrier is Chevrier himself.Chevrier appeared on a CBC free political time TV broadcast on the evening of Dec.1, in company with the new president of the National Liberal Federation, Maj.Gen.(\"Call-me-mistcr \") Bruce Matthews.The text of Chevrier's remarks was given to newsmen a few hours before he spoke.In that text appears this sentence: \u201cIt came as a great surprise to me, as it must have to thousands of other Canadians, when Air Marshal Slemon, NORAD deputy commander, at Colorado Springs, stated on November 24!h - - and quite properly in my judgment - -that a manned interceptor in our continental defence is an escapable requirement for as long as wc can see.\u201d On Dec.9 newsmen received what appeared lo be the identical text that they had gotten nine days earlier.Like the first, it was slugged \u201cFor release 7 50 P.M.EST .December 1.1958\".But there was one obvious addition and one surreptitious deletion.In one corner of page one appeared the words \"Text as delivered\".That was the addition.And in the sentence about Slemon, the word» \"and quite property in my judgment\u201d were missing.It seems that when Chev-vier wrote the speech and released it to newsmen on Dec.1, he approved and applauded Slemon\u2019s remarks.And in hu telecast he used Slemon'» words to bolster his own political argument that Defence Minister Rearkes\u2019 attitude on the CF-105 interceptor wa« \"quite inconsistent'\u2019 with that of Diefenbaker.Further, h* a-'Crted that the US should buy the 105.\"and it is the responsibility of the Canadian government to so convince them ', But some time between Dec.1 and Dec.9 Chevrier appears to have learned, to his consternation.that on Nov.24 Pearson had criticized Siemens remarks as being \u201cinappropriate\" on the ground that a serving officer should not publicly involve himself in a matter of government policy.Not wishing to be quoted by Tories in the Commons as being in disagreement with Pearson on this point, Chevrier put out his \u201ctext as delivered\" release nine days late, saying in effect that he had misquoted himself.Ever see Russian wrestling'* Chevrier should be good at that.Bygone Days THIRTY YEARS AGO Considerable
