American imperialists\u201d Have encouraged repeated violation of the Albanian frontier by Greek Government troops in mopping-up operations against the Communist-led Greek guerrillas.The broadcast said.* * ¥ Montreal, Dec.6.\u2014®\u2014Alfred Cote, 43-year-o!d aider-man of suburban Ville St.Michel, was arraigned yesterday on a charge of accepting a $100 bribe last Nov.23 to induce him to vote in favor ot granting of 550 lots to two Montreal contractors.Cote failed to appear in court Friday and the hearing was postponed till yesterday.He was ordered for preliminary hearing Dec.13.* * * Copenhagen, Dec.6.\u2014::VP)\u2014 Well-informed political sources said today Britain has invited the three Scandinavian countries to join her in a regional economic union.1 he sources predicted tne three countries \u2014 Denmark.Sweden and Norway \u2014 would agree to preliminary economic talks.But they pointed out that opening of negotiations would not inevitably lead to establishment of a region economic union.Britain made the proposal last night in notes handed to Foreign Ministers in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo, it was reliably reported.First news of the British bid was printed in the newspaper Social Demokraten, organ of the governing party in Denmark, and confirmed later by political sources.* * * Belgrade, Dec.6.\u2014 (Æ*) \u2014 Yugoslavia\u2019s leading Communist paper, Borba, says today the cominform by inference has admitted failure of its 18-month-old attempt to promote an internal revolt against the rule of Marshal Tito, Yugoslavian premier.This, says Borba, was implicit in the new blast against Tito\u2019s government in the form of a resolution adopted by the Cominform (Communist international information bureau) in Hungary.In a long front page analysis of the resolution, the first in the official press here, Borba denounces the new- resolution as part of a plot to make workers of the world \u201ctools of the non-peace-loving police of the Soviet government.\u201d The resolution had called upon all Communists to work toward the overthrow of Tito as a heretic for Marxism.This new action of the Cominform.Borba says, will \u201conly deepen and increase\u201d the masses' disapproval of Soviet tactics.Growing Demand For Return Of Chiang To Presidency As Nationalist Crisis Worsens Board Named To Even Off Food Supply By GEORGE KITCHEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, Dec.6\u2014 '® \u2014The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has decided to set up a 14-man committee to deal with the growing world problem of unmarketable food surpluses.The plan was approved yesterday by the policy commission of the fifth F.A.O.annual conference, now in session here.It will go today to the conference\u2019s plenary session for formal ratification.Acceptance of the législative framework for the committee, with some minor amendments, came in an afternoon-long study session after Canada and the United States, two of the world\u2019s main food producers, gave their approval.The United Kingdom, a principal food importer, made no formal statement.Membership on the committee will be drawn from among the 63 member states of F.A.O.the com-mitee will be empowered to receive reports from surplus and food-deficient countries and seek to bring them together.Its functions will be largely consultative and advisory.The plan for establishment of an F.A.O.committee to keep an eye on surpluses was a watered-down version of an original proposal by the F.A.O.directorate for an international commodity clearing house.The clearing house would have had broad powers to move surpluses from over-stocked nations to areas of need and malnutrition and to arrange the financing through a complex formula designed to side-step dollar difficulties which now block normal channels of trade.Britain, Canada and the United States\u2014the F.A.O.Big Three-turned down the clearing-house proposals and the conference established a working party to draft the modified plan now accepted, The committee will take action only on those surpluses which cannot be disposed of because of currency difficulties.Before adopting the committee plan, the policy commission agreed that any of the 63 F.A.O.governments could seek membership on any of the committee\u2019s sub-committees if they had interest in a specific commodity.Earlier, some of the smaller states and non - governmental bodies attending the conference expressed objection to some phases of the plan.Generally they felt that, the committee would not be j sufficiently powerful to deal adequately with the surplus problem.Mutiny Among Certain Nationalist Armies Reported as Menacing Strategic Defensive Position.By SPENCER MOOSA Chengtu, Dec.6 \u2014 (Æ5) \u2014 Clamor for Chiang Kai-Shek to resume presidency of Nationalist China became noisier : White Russians charged with spy Evidence In Slav Trials Is Complete Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, Dec.6.\u2014 (T\") \u2014 Yugoslavia\u2019s trial of ten Probe University Ruins » VT-Wwwv.- WC-AV \\>y V AN ; v\" V-.-V''v A.n'v x' §w Red Power Vanishing From Labor Big Names Become Involved In Uranium Sales To Russia Washington, Dec.6.\u2014 ffi \u2014 The House of Representatives committee on un-American Activities today eyed Henry A.Wallace, former Vice-President of the United States, and many others in a suddenly-revived hunt for persons who pushed wartime uranium shipment» to Russia.Wallace commented last night that a statement alleging that he was involved is false, and a part of \u201can unremitting effort to tarnish the name of Franklin D.Roosevelt.\u2019\u2019 Chairman John S, Wood (Dem.Ga.) promised there isn\u2019t going to be any avenue left untouched\u201d as the House Committee digs into the story that persons in high places helped Russia get uranium and atomic information.Wood said that for the sake of the country \u201cthe story must either be corroborated or disproved.\u201d Much of the story is old, particularly the part about several shipments of uranium compounds to Russia back in 1943, by way of Great Falls, Mont., and the Alaskan air route.Testimony also has been repeated concerning shipment of black uranium oxide and nitrate to the Soviet Union the same year from a Canadian firm.But now big names are being brought into it: Wallace, who has fired from the Cabinet by President Truman for siding too much with Russia on international policy, and Harry L.Hopkins, the late intimate and adviser of President Roosevelt.And tomorrow Wood's committee will question Gen.Leslie Groves, retired, who ran the wartime atom j lace who \u201cordered the atomic materials sent to Russia\u201d over Groves\u2019 objections.\u201cSheerest fabrication,\u201d Wallace retorted from New York.It was a former U.S.air force major, George Racey Jordan, who brought Hopkins\u2019 name into the atomic tale.He did it first in a broadcast with Lewis Friday night and again in testimony to the committee yesterday.While he was stationed at the Great Falls air base during the war, Jordan said, Hopkins told him personally by telephone to hurry up atomic shipments to Russia and keep quiet about it.Hopkins\u2019 son and numerous former associates of the wartime lend-lease administrator scoffed at Jor-drn\u2019s story.Louis J.Russell, senior investigator for the House committee, said he knows of no evidence involving Hopkins in the atomic shipments.It was Russell who revived the story of the Canadian uranium shipment in testimony yesterday.It had been read in previous committee investigations.Much of it was based on testimony given secretly in June, 1948, by Herman R.Rosenberg, a representative of a New York brokerage firm handling Soviet atomic materials orders.Russell, reading a statement by Rosenberg, quoted it as saying that the Canadian Radium and Uranium Corporation made shipment of uranium compounds through Rosenberg after an American firm could not fill the order.Russell said the shipment, sent to n Russian purchasing agent in bomb project.Committee officials i the U.S.directly from Port Hope, said there may be 40 or 50 additional witnesses.Rut there is no indication yet when Wallace might be called.Broadcaster Fulton Lewis, Jr., taid last night that it was Wal- i Ont,, comprised 500 pounds of black uranium oxide and 500 pounds of uranium nitrate.(In Ottawa, Canadian Govern- Continued On Page 5 today as the Reds pushed within 90 miles of Chengtu.(From Hong Kong, Associated Press correspondent Wayne Richardson radioed that President Li Tsung-Jen ordered Nationalist officials in Chengtu to carry on \u2014 under his orders.Li, flying to the United States for treatment of a stomach ailment, said he would ''telegraph\u201d instructions and would return within a month.)

Travellers said inhabitants of towns and villages in the path of the Red drive were in a ferment of excitement and fear.They elaborated: Residents were moving in every direction for safety.Some Were fleeing into the country-side from towns.Others were rushing into towns from the country-side.In Chengtu, nearly all schools closed because students fled to their own homes.Among institutions shut down was the famed West China Union University, operated mainly by American missionaries.The student world was filled with unverifiable reports of a tragedy rumored to have befallen students at Chungking.The rumor; A number of students, carrying banners welcoming the Communists and denouncing the Nationalists went out to greet the Reds last Wednesday.Through a mistake, they entered the Nationalist lines.Troops, angered by the banners, opened fire.Rumors of the number killed ranged from 20 to 200.An official dispatch said Nationalist planes Sunday bombed Peishiyi airfield on the outskirts of Chungking, setting oil tanks afire.On the political front, all Assembly delegates on the mainland and at Formosa urged Chiang to resume the presidency.A group that sa whim Sunday reported he promised to consider that.Chinese quarters interpreted this as meaning Chiang would actively take up his old post, but they had no idea when.ing for the Soviet Union reached its final stage today, with verdicts expected by tomorrow or Thusr-day.All ten defendants had pleaded at least partially guilty to joint charges they collaborated with the Nazis in Yugoslavia during the war.Most of them admitted furnishing information to the Soviet embassy after the war, but some of them denied it was spying.The prosecution completed its case yesterday against the ten on trial before the three-man district court herb in Bosnia\u2019s capital C'U scene of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria which touched off the First World War.Closing arguments will be made next before the court hands The White Russians are refugees from the Russian revolution wno have become Soviet citizens.Their trial highlighted Yugoslavia\u2019s charges that Russia had set up a spy network inside its borders to assist in a plot by the Cominform to overthrow the independent communist regime of Premier Tito.The last, four defendants appeared rapidly in succession before the court yesterday to testify they felt \u201cguilty\u201d of aiding the Soviet Union.They said they had tried to stir up unrest in the Sarajevo colony of White Russians and nad been urged to send reports on conditions in their area to the Soviet Union.Elsewhere on the Cominform-Tito.feud front the Yugoslav communist party newspaper Borba announced the release of 500 more persons who previously had been arrested for siding with the Cominform against Tito.However, they still must work for three months in the Y\u2019ugosiav work brigade to prove they are now on Tito\u2019s side.Brief Trip Fills Life-Long Dream

about ,£18,000,000 ($55,800,000) in British commercial credits, official sources sail u conferences with Foreign Secretary Bevin to give the bad news to Premier Tito of Yugoslavia.The cabinet has decided, the sources said, that it cannot offer Yugoslavia much more than £8,-000,000 even though Britain wants to help Tito in his economic fight against the Russian-led Cominform.Britain earlier had agreed to extend £8,000,000 in credits.But Yugoslavia raised her original requests several weeks ago, the sources said, during negotiations going on between the two countries for a five-year £200,000,000 trade agreement.These negotiations have been going on for more than a year.Tito\u2019s negotiators are said to have raised the amount of credit 1 the jury which hoard the case in 1947.Two of the five judges who heard the appeal would have gone even further and declared the accused, Aime Boucher of Ste.Germaine do Dorchester, Que., should be acquitted on the ground that the.record contained no evidence which could have sustained his conviction.Boucher was charged with seditious- libel in connection with the distribution of a pamphlet entitled, \u201cQuebec\u2019s Burning Hate for God and Christ and Freedom Is the Shame of All Canada.\u201d He was convicted before Mr.Justice Alfred Savard and a jury and sentenced to one month in jail.His appeal to the Court of King\u2019s

Official Plot On Exports Brantford, Ont,, Dec.6\u2014 ((P) \u2014 Agricultural Minister Gardiner said last night there is a \u201cvery decided official effort\u201d to drive wheat and several Canadian food products from the British market.In an address at a Board of Trade dinner, he recalled that prior to the Second World War, Canada was Britain\u2019s chief source of wheat and apples, and also supplied considerable quantities of pork, cheese, beef and other foods.During the war Canada became Britain\u2019s chief supplier of pork, eggs and cheese, and also shipped large amounts of beef and milk.\u201cDuring the last two years,\u201d he said, \u201ca very decided official effort has been made to drive every one of these products excepting wheat off the British market.And now that the four-year wheat contract is drawing to a close an effort is being made to drive off a considerable part of our wheat as well.\u201d He did not amplify on the source or the extent of the \u201cofficial

seen that Sir Stafford Cripps, for one, is not at all ungrateful to Canada and the Canadian people.And, in his speech, he further refuted the mischief-makers by declaring: \u201cIt is wholly untrue to suggest either that Canada has unloaded her difficulties onto our backs or that we have unloaded our difficulties onto her back.\u201d PRESS COMMENTS DOUKHOBORS CAUSE MORE TROUBLE The latest outbreak of trouble among the Douhobors of British Columbia, or especially among the more fanatical group of that sect, serves to support the policy of that section of the population which demands a closer screening of prospective immigrants into this country.Of course, in the case of the Doukhobors, it is too late for anything to be done by the immigration authorities, as the trouble-makers of today are natural-born Canadians of the second, third or even fourth generations.But it is essential that the authorities spare no effort to assure that no similar situation be allowed to rise in the future owing to the entry of substantial groups of people who cannot find themselves willing to accept the ordinary laws of the land.The Doukhobors are a peculiar people from a section of Russia who have been trouble-makers ever since they were allowed into Canada over forty years ago.They had been in the country but a short time when they staged their first nude parade at Tort William, ignoring a twenty-degree below zero temperature on a bright but cold January day.I hat is the time, when, if the best judgment had been used, that they should have been shipped back to Russia.Settled in the west soon after their display in the lakehead country, they have continued to ignore all the laws of the land ever since and have made themselves a menace to everybody by setting fire to buildings and dynamiting public property.The later generations appear to be as lawless as the first batch of immigrants if one is to judge by the latest action of these people in the blowing up of railway tracks and bridges as a protest against \"man-made laws.\" It is to be regretted that they cannot all be shipped back to Russia, because such people really were never intended to live in a free country like Canada.A police state, where each individual has to knuckle down, or else, would be ideal for them, as their long stay in Canada has had little effect in civilizing them.From time to time they have talked of moving to other countries where they claim to have been offered greater concessions, but, unfortunately, none of these predicted movements have amounted to anything and the authorities, both federal and provincial, are still being plagued by these trouble-makers.ABOUT A JUDGE AND A BOOK Ottawa Journal VVc hart something to say here the other day about the trial in Brantford of a news agent on n charge of offering for sale an obscene book about young Brooklyn hoodlums.Since the earlier piece appeared the charge has been dismissed.Judge Cowan said frankly this was not the type of book he would want in his own library and he would not put it in a school library, but he held that the Crown had not proved obscenity.The judge confronted the difficulty which always arises ! in such cases\u2014one set of witnesses denounced the j work, and another set of witnesses of equal stand-!\ting\tdefended it.\u201cWho\tam I,\u201d observed his\thonor, \u201cto\tsay whether this\tbook

of the ! income tax revenues will be laid upon the backs of those earning less than $5,000 a year.It may j also be noted that the total number of income | taxpayers was greatly reduced in the last federal | budget, by cutting off those in the lowest brackets: , Though this move will bring the relief of exemp-1 tion to those with the lower incomes, it- can only j mean that, in future, the tax burdens for any pro-! grams of federal spending must rest all the more | heavily upon the reduced number that are left.Shice those in the higher brackets are not num-j erous enough to meet the whole bill, no matter j how roughly they are handled, this will mean that ! it is upon \u201cMr.Average Means\u201d that the burden i will mainly fall.In launching expensive measures, Mr.Average Means is

the*- British Doctors Study Demand For Increased State Payments LEFTIST BAITING CONTINUES One of the most unfortunate features of the current economic difficulties resulting from the acute lack of foreign exchange by many of the world\u2019s largest trading nations is the wave of false and unjust accusations being made against Canada by the more radical supporters of the Attlee administration in Britain.To an almost incredible degree these individuals are seeking to make the Dominion the scapegoat for the economic mess into which Great Britain has fallen.These individuals, who evidently know far more about their own parroted party line than about world affairs and economics, are creating, wittingly or otherwise, a quite unnecessary amount of ill-feeling between the two countries.It is well, therefore, that they and others equally misinformed or ignorant, should lately have been rebuked by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps.In his speech at the centenary banquet of the Commercial Travellers\u2019 Benevolent Institution, in London, he said, in part: \"Let me make this abundantly clear: that, however great may have been our economic difficulties and those of Canada during and since the war, we have had no better friends than the people of Canada throughout that period.Both our countries have been put into grave difficulties as the result of the economic changes brought about by the war .Despite all the Canadian difficulties, just recollect'for a moment a few of the things she has done to help .In 1942 she made us a free gift of a billion dollars to purchase foodstuffs and war supplies, in addition to providing us with an interest-free loan of $700,000,000.This magnificent gesture SIR HARRY\u2019S SIGN Wall Street Journal That the Scottish people have a reputation for j being super-economical can be attributed in no smalt measure to the sedulous press-agentry of the ! rest of the world to have them regarded in that ! frugal light.Consider how it gilded the lily in the \u2019 case of Sir Harry Lauder.Arriving in London, after a tour of the j provinces, the great comedian was escorted -to a ! cab-stand by a group of reporters, who prevailed j upon him to pose standing by a cab and pointing i to a sign in the window.\u201cNow give us a great big smile,\u2019* the photo-! grapher urged, and forthwith snapped his picture.Sir Harry was too tired to read the sign at the | time but he got the full import of it the following ; day whert someone showed him the.picture hi 1 the paper.The placard read: \u201cGreat Reduction in I Fares.\u201d

doctors meets this month to decide what to do about a longstanding claim for more money.General practitioners enrolled under the National Health Service have been pressing for an extra £16,500,000\t($51.150,000) yearly.This would be added to the central pool out of which fees are paid to the doctors.Health Minister Sevan rejected tfie claim in mid-November.He said \u201cno reasonable case\u201d has been made for any increase in fees.In a letter to the British Medical Association, which represents four out of five doctors, the Minister said there is no evidence-to show doctors are underpaid.Official statistics show that of.some 21,000 general practitioners in Britain, between 18,000 and 19,000 are enrolled in the health service.Each doctor is allowed a maximum of 4.000 \u201cstate\u201d patients and receives 18s.(aboui $2.80) a\u2019 year for each patient enrolled with him.This works out to-ll-jd.(about five cents) a week.The B.M.A.claims this is not enough, particularly for doctors in rural areas who often serve considerably fewer than the maximum number of patients.An official of the B.M.A., who stressed that his opinion was a personal one, said he feels there is.enough money in the pool,.but that there may be hardship in some cases.While the doctors decide what to do, Sevan is considering a further cut in certain scales of fees for the 9,000-odd dentists registered with the health service.In a recent speech, he said dentists are making a \u201charvest\u201d and were among the worst offenders in abusing the health service.Last February, all dental earnings over £4,700 a year gross were cut by half.In June, the £4,800 limitation was abolished and all per | dental fees- were cut by 20 I cent.\tj I A spokesman for the British I Dental Association said the Asso-1 ! ciation takes a \u201cserious view\u201d of i Sevan\u2019s threat to make another : slash in dentists\u2019 earnings.Questions and Answers Q\u2014Are panthers

South.Africa, Dec.C.\u2014(JP)\u2014Ritual murders in Basutoland are presenting British authorities with one of their most difficult problems in African administration.In this normally law-abiding country, where half the population are Christians, the bodies of 293 victims of ritual murders have been found by the police in the last seven days.There is reason to believe at least twice as many cases have gone undetected.In the fame period 121 Basutos have been convicted of ritual murders and 72 acquitted.Judges of the Basutoland High Court have sentenced both men and women to death in batches from five to 17, but it has made little impression.The gruesome killings go on.A ritual murder, as practiced by the Basutos, consists of seizing a victim and cutting various portions off his body, possibly skinning and scalping him, while he is still -alive.\u201cMedicine\u201d made from the blood or the body after death is considered useless.When mutilation is complete the victim is knocked on the head, throttled or flung over a cliff.In trying to stamp out these crimes colonial authorities find themselves up against a blanket of silence.Villagers will not testify or give evidence against one another and refuse to incriminate the witch doctors and chiefs believed responsible.The motives behind the murders are obscure, but generally are attributed to the desire of chiefs and witch doctors to regain their former powers, weakened under Christianity and modern progress.To do so they have fallen back on age old customs and superstitions that are still only just under the surface of most Basuto skins.In trying to trace the blood trail to its psychological sources point of becoming more than friends when I introduced him tc my beautiful sister, with the usual result\u2014he fell for her.Unfortunately for me, I was deeply in love with Bart, the real thing, not just a passing.fancy.I was hit so hard I couldn\u2019t tell anybody, hit | so hard that when I was with him I was tongue-tied and more mouse, like than ever.Deep within there was nothing mouselike about me.June\u2019s frail beauty was the appealing type that made every man long to protect her: now Bart felt the urge.In his glance lay the adoring look that I easily recognized, having often seen it in the eyes of June\u2019s many conquests.I had also seen it vanish from\u2019the aforesaid eyes and so had June which fact disturbed her not at all.\u201cThere\u2019s always another man right around the corner,-\u2019 she used to say.Just about now, June received an invitation to visit in Boston.Bart stopped in on his way back from seeing her off on the train.\u201cI\u2019m sure she cares for me,\u201d he confided happily, \u201cwhen she said good bye she called me darling.\u201d Sly first gleam of hope since the affair started' At the end of a week June wrote she was having such a wonderful time she was staying on and would darling old Dad please send her some more money?Dad obliged and in consequence Bart was greatly downcast, especially when details or her gay visit reached us\u2014 she\u2019d met scads of Harvard men, she\u2019d been to the Ritz for cocktails, she\u2019d been invited to the Yale-Harvard game next Fall, she\u2019d been here and she\u2019d been there.I realized she was not eating her heart out for Bart who pretended to comfort himself by saying.\u201cLet her have her little fling.When she comes back, she\u2019ll be all ready to settle down,\u201d then after a moment he added anxiously, \u201cyou don\u2019t think I\u2019m getting \u2022the air.do you?\u201d I knew darn well he was but how could I say anything against my own sister?\u201d Because Pop refused to send her any more money eventually June returned.Bart came to our house for supper that night, happy as a lark, devouring her with his eyôs.At the close cf the meal he said, \u201cI have a swell surprise for you, June.\u201d June loved surprises, particularly swell ones.\u201cWhat is it?\u201d she asked prettily excited.\u201cSeats for \u2018South Pacific.\u2019 Were they hard to get! They\u2019re for Saturday matinee and I\u2019ve got everything fixed.We\u2019ll have dinner afterwards in town and catch the 10:20 for home.\u201d June swallowed.\u201cOh, darling,\u201d she began\u2014brace up, Bart, I thought, here comes a haymaker\u2014\u201cyou see.I couldn\u2019t possibly make it for Saturday.A\u2014 a friend is spending the weekend with us.\u201d The little minx managed to look so sad that even I almost believed she felt badly.\u201cWhat\u2019s your friend\u2019s name?\u201d I inquired.On the Air Waves Answer to Previous Puzzle From The Record Files TAX FIGURES From the Peterborough Examiner The highest average tax among Canadian cities j in 1947 was paid, strangely enough, by Swift Cur-| rent, Saskatchewan: $330.There were 1,892 income taxpayers in that city.The high figure is the most convincing proof we have seen lately that the west does have waving fields of golden grain.Toronto paid an average of $321, the second highest.Oshawa was high in that boom car year; 11,-243 income taxpayers in that city paid an average of $317.The highest average declared income in Canada was acquired by Quebec City residents: $2,-585.Next were Oshawa people, with $2.552; next, Flin Floners with $2,346.Montrealers were sixth on the list, Torontonians eighth, and a rank worthy of note, Oharlottetowners (P.E.I.) came immediately below Torontonians with an average declared annual income of $2,459.BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike.Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.\u2014\u2014 Romans 14:5.* * * Every man shoud measure himself by his own standard.\u2014Horace.THIRTY YEARS AGO The Allied Supreme Council has demanded Germany sign the protocal (o the peace treaty on face military sanctions.* * \u2022 TWENTY YEARS AGO The recent mutiny in the Chinese Government forces is spreading, seriously hampering the fight against the Insurgents.mm- TEN YEARS AGO President Roosevelt proposes to transfer Finnish \"ar debt payments to a special fund to aid arming the Finns in their fight against Russian aggression.Officers named for the newly-organized Magog Branch of the Canadian Legion: George MacDonald, William Malcolm, George Ifuime, John Hoard-man, Cyril Peake, Samuel Hyde, David Goulding, and John Hufcbersty.9mm FIVE YEARS AGO British troops in Greece have been strengthened as rioting through Athens increases.The following officers were elected for the St.Francis District \\yrshirp Breeders\u2019 Club: David Bolduc, Lennox-viilc; W.O.Miller.Watcrvillc; W.G.MacDougall and J.A.Lambert, Lennoxville, HORIZONTAL 1,5 Depicted actress, - Jane- 10 Vanquish 12 Helpers 14\tOver (contr.) 15\tNatives of Morocco 17\tRiver islet 18\tGreek letter 19\tConnecticut 20\tReams (ab.) 21\tThat thing 23\tPronoun 24\tConceal 26 Arabian gulf 29\tDiminutive of Edgar 30\tEgyptian sun god 31\tInternational language 32\tMystic syllabli 33\tEnthusiastic ardor 36 Misplace 38\t\u201cSmallest State\u201d (ab.) 39\tCorrelative of either 40\tScottish cap 42 Grew pallid 47 Snatch 50\tEggs 51\tChange 52\tNickname of Lincoln 53\tTreadles 55 Endured 57\tShe is a- actress 58\tVegetable VERTICAL 1\tEncounter 2\tFrightened 3\tOf the thing 4\tSweet potatoes 5\tTwo-wheeled vehicle 6\tGet up 7\tAlleged force 8\tDreaded 9\tDecorate 10\tFemale deer 11\tChild 12\tStreets (ab.) 16 On account (ab.) 22\tSymbol for tellurium 23\tLaughter sound 24\tAt this place 25\tHeathen deity 27\tGod of love 28\tTitle 34 Spanish fleet SJ A i N G H O M AS and find some remedy more effective than the gallows the British Colonial Office sent out Professor G.I.Jones, lecturer in anthropology at Cambridge University, j For the last three months Jones has been probing deep into the villages and mountains of Basutoland.His report soon will be in the hands of the British High Commissioner, Sir Evelyn Baring, and will be a basis for a discussion of the whole subject in London, i Jones also is investigating the possibility that portions of the human victims of Basutoland ritual murders are being sold to the illicit drink trade.| In the slums of Johannesburg ! and most towns of South Africa, | the Shebeen Queen is a power.In i secret hidouts she brews the I favorite African drink \u201cskokiaan,\u201d j a type of beer from corn meal and i yeast and more often than not | containing carbide or some other i ingredient to give it an additional kick.Symbol for nickel Behold!
