MISSING TRADES COUNCIL SECRETARY: QUESTION IN HOUSE
[SPECIAL TO STAR] WELLINGTON, This Day
It is the intention of Mr J. B. Cotterill (Govt., Wanganui) this afternoon in the House of Representatives to ask the Minister in charge of the Police Department, Mr Fraser, “whether he will take the earliest opportunity of assuring this House and the country (1) that everything possible is being done to trace Walter Ashton, a prominent Auckland Communist, whose abandoned car was found on lonely Piha beach two months ago, (2) the sum of £l6OO which was voted as aid for Russia by the Auckland Trades Council, and (3) that the missing man has not been caught in the sweep of Moscow’s sickle.” A note to the question says that press reports of a meeting of the Auckland Trades Council last" week state that the Soviet Legation at Wellington refused to give anything in writing when asked had the missing money been received by them.
