North Pole" pilots found a major
magnetic center on Prince of Wales
Island and a local magnetic pole on
Bathurst Island. The trio form an ell
liptical magnetic field.
The first indication that there might
be at least two magnetic poles came
last year when the Army's Pascusan
Dreamboat flew over the polar cap
from Hawaii to Egypt. The crew re-
ported finding the magnetic pole in a
new place, miles north of Boothia

The tri-polar field, discovered and

The Communists formerly were

There never has been a treaty of this

Trouble started almost as soon as

the prisoners were h%andcuffed to-

Rioting broke out on the train and
additional MPs were assigned. Many

An undisclosed number of prison

At Los Angeles, the Southern Pa

Courts
Canadian Precedent

DR.. Charles A. Molleur, Montreal
physician, was sentenced to be hanged
for murder in the death of a 23-year-
old woman on whom he performed an
abortion.
The short, gray-haired doctor, So,
was convicted by a jury and Justice
Wilfrid Lazure Immediately passed
the death sentence, saying the law
left him no alternative.
The defense plans to file an appeal.
The murder conviction is one of the
irst-if not the frst-in such a case
in Canada's criminal courts.
Downing the traditional black gloves
and tri-corner hat, the judge told the
physician he had had a fair trial.
Il am sorry to have to condemn you
to- DEATH" he said. "The jury has
recommended clemency, but when the
verdict is guilty of murder, such a
recommendation cannot be taken into
consideration.
"Ten years ago you were acquitted
before me on a charge of abortion and
on that occasion l warned you against
continuing such practices. You did not
heed my advice . you have nobody
to blame but yourself"
Asked by the court if he had any,
thing to say before sentence was i'm
posed, DR.. Molleur shouted: I'm tell
ing you. You are wrong. You are
wrong"

of a dead man resting on his shoulder.
Saul and his wife sat next to Alo-
ysius Bollin, So, a printer, and his six
year-old son, Joseph. A few moments
after the picture started, Saul felt a
head on his shoulder and, thinking
Bollin had fallen asleep, attempted to
rouse him. Then he put his ear over
the mans heart and checked his pulse
to discover the man was dead-and
already turning cold.
The fireman said he decided to wait
for a break in the program before re-
moving the corpse because he didn't
want to cause a disturbance that might
have led to a panic"

BOYCOTT: Russias New Tactic in the u. N

of all United Nations decisions on
controversial subjects.

merely voting mo" The assembly can

Russian and Polish Refusal
Russia refused to serve on the new
1l-nation Balkan border watch COM
mission, created this week by the
general assembly over furious and
lengthy Soviet opposition. So did Po-
land, a member of the Russian bloc.
Moscow's delegate Andrei Y. Vi
shinsky further made it plain that
none of the Soviet satellites will
cooperate with the commission on the
grounds that it is illegal" This ap-
parently is intended to restrict the
commissions activity to Greece alone
and prevent it from crossing the Dor
der into Yugoslavia, Albania and
Bulgaria, the three nations accused of
aiding Greek guerrillas.
Russia was overwhelmed in the
showdown votes eliminating the Bal
kan case. The vote on the border
watch commission was 40 to 6, with
IL nations abstaining.
The assembly rejected two resolu-
tons Gone Polish and one Russian
demanding recall of all foreign mill

Lords Acre
Charity Begins Everywhere

Last November in Byron, a tiny
western New York community of $50,
a committee met to discuss painting
the village Presbyterian Church but
decided instead to help the worlds
needy.
Their Lords Acre" was originally
planned as a community plot OF one
acre on which produce could be grown
and sold. It grew to a 16-acre plot
which initially yielded a $l,127 pea
crop. More than 300 persons of all
faiths in the community actually
worked on the project.
The grand climax came this week
with an auction attended by 5000 and
netting the Lords Acre" fund more
than $4,000.
More than 500 items were sold to
the highest bidders for a gross of $21,-
$50. The auction lasted eight and a
half hours, ended in darkness and
was dampened but not halted by a
shower.
Included in the sale were two new
automobiles, four tractors, a combine,
10 radio-phonograph combinations,
three deep freeze UNITS, an electric
refrigerator, % tons of coal, clothing,
furniture, ITS dozen eggs, 200 loaves
of home-baked bread, livestock, fer
tilizer and farm produce.
Most of the larger new items, in
Guiding the cars and heavy farm
equipment, were purchased by the
auction committee at dealers dis

The auction brought a total of ST.
