Calwell Calls Gamboa Case A Tokyo Stunt

ISSUE MAY BE TAKEN TO THE UNITED NATIONS

Canberra, May 24. Mr Arthur A., Calwell, Australian Immigration Minister, commenting after publication of United Press George McCadden's exclusive interview in connection with the Gamboa case, said today that the "Gamboa case is a Tokyo hatched stunt."

Mr Calwell added: "I waited until the Philippines Parliament disposed of the case before giving McCadden an exclusive inter- view. I wanted to tell the United States the true story by one of its own correspondents. General MacArthur's name was improperly used in the case.

Lord Beaverbrook's Seventy Today

BY W. J. BROWN,

MP

"The days of a man upon the earth," says the Good Book, “are three score years and ten." Today Lord Beaverbrook reaches his normal allotted span.

But when the other day someone telegraphed wishes that he might live to be 90, Beaverbrook was slightly annoyed. Ninety wasn't enough.

All his life Beaverbrook has been "a cat that walks alone.” And a cat has nine lives.

Beaverbrook feels that on this basis he has several more to come. So far he's had only three or four.

He hopes, I suspect, to do much more mischief among the politic. ally orthodox before he dies, and to give his foes no rest yet awhile. Flest, nanee. Starting with sell-
