He's been a Republican for years however, and his on the employer side of the bargaining table these days. Most people know im best as an actor and' televi- sion producer. His name is Robert Montgomery. Reporters noticed that the hand- some, well - dressed Montgomery had been around the presidential offices quite a bit lately. Thurs- day they asked about it and got the answer: Montgomery has been given a White House office, but no salary, so he'll be handy to advise President Eisenhower on radio and television techmiques. The move didn't surprise the former Hollywood star's friends. Montgomery has ben keenly :ig- terested in politics for a long time, and was a likely candidate for as- sistant secretary of the navy if Thomas E. Dewey had been elected president in 1948.

[time has come," ROAD PROBE (Continued from Page 1) ment had set up a committee fo study the municipal relations but this committee had been made up of a majority of civil servants and as such they were responsible to the government, their employers, and not the people of the province. "They have yet," said Mr. Oliver, Speaking of a Sogn ttee, "to a re wo! e paper on which it wh been written. Aud un the eve of the next election. That wil be. too Tithe and too Jaga 24 peaking e present system of providing grants to ee it- on | jes, Mr. Oliver stated "I wish we had never started a grant system. It is a vicious circle. I hope we do not contnue it to such a point that we' believe it will aid munici- » | palities. I think the province should sit down with the municipalities and divide up the fields of respon- sibility. I think the day will come when grants will prove a costly ex- periment in government." THE ONTARIO HYDRO Leaving the subject of municipal- ities, Mr. Oliver turned to his sec- ond topic, the Ontario Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission. He re- called that Mr. Drew had in 1948 "built an election on the change- over from 25 to 60 cycle power." He recalled that when hydro was first being introduced to Ontario, second hand equipment had been purchased which produced 25- tycle power. It was from this start that the 25-cycle system had begun. In 1948, he said, Mr, Drew told the Ontario Government that the changeover would cost $191,000,000 at the most. Now, he said, before the job was half done, he engineers hads revised that es- timate to $475,000,000. "In another year," said Mr. Oliver, "we will find that it will cost six or seven hundred million dollars. This is doing to place a financial burden to such a degree that it will have thrown out for all time any idea of cheaper power. For this, the Con- servatives have rendered the prov- face of Ontario a great disser- vice." At the present time, said Mr. Oliver, 29 cents of every dollar earned by Hydro is used to pay the interest on dro debt. "The e said, "to look at the whole question with a realis- tic approach' He noted that the Hydro had earmarked, in recent years, $1,000,000 per year for public relations. "Why" asked Mr. Oliver. 'Who is competing with the HEDC They have a monopoly and have no right to promote public relations. Would it not be better to give a reasonable chance for lower rates We will hear more about this." DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS Mr. Oliver concluded his re- marks with the topic which is cre- - | ating such public interest at the present time. 'Developments in the Department of Highways at the lakehead gives us an idea of what is going on under the shell of the Department." As a means of explanation, Mr. Oliver stated that it had been the custom dur- ing the past years to vote funds to a statutory account for the De- partment of Highways. in amounts of from 25 to 50 million dollars. There was no discussion, he said, and the expenditure of this fund was left "all in the Highways' minister's own little hands." In 1958, he said, this had been chang- ed somewhat but still the funds were voted in such quantities as 33 million for maintenance and 27 million for new construction. The time has now come, said Mr. Oliv er, when members will have the fullest opportunity to discuss the of this budget. He point- out that this situation was pe- culiar to the Department of High- ways for the Department of Pub- lic Works, for instance, is required to say what the funds will be used for and where. "It is my opinion," said Mr. Oliver, "that the lack of intelligent discussion within the house on the spending of Highway funds has done much to create the present atmosphere." The matter at Fort William, he claimed was an indication of a trend and would not have been brought to the attention of anyone had not .a boy down the line felt that he was slighted and was pre- pared to tell all. "It is strange," said Mr. Oliver, "that this could have been the situation for over four years without inspectors or auditors finding out. Something is | sadly amiss when a department is 80 loosely knit that it is left to a junior clerk to spill the beans. We don't know the outcome but I feel that we will learn much and wi gain a lesson that will prevent a recurrence of this nature. They are now working on other division- al offices. What has happened at Fort William could well happen at other places." Someone in the audience asked if there were any horses on the payroll. Mr. Oliver observed that much had been made of the Peta- wawa scandal and it had often been stated that horses had been on the payroll. Mr. Oliver claimed that it had never been shown that horses erew on the payroll but it has now been shown that the people of Ontario have not received their proper allotment of highways for the money which has been spent. Delving into the investigation furth- er, Mr. Oliver stated that the de- partment had spent money for a ridge, but the bridge is not there. The investigation, he continued, had shown that a hill had been purchased for a gravel pit. Not only had the department paid for a non-existent hill but trucks had been paid to haul the gravel away. A ROYAL COMMISSION Mr. Oliver's remedy was an in- vestigation by a Royal Commission. He said that this had been suggest- ed to Mr. Frost but the premier had suggested that the services of an accounting firm was all that was needed. Mr. Oliver stated that this was quite acceptable to him but "once we have the picture as they see it, we should appoint a Royal Commission to go into the matter." Giving his reasons for this stand, Mr. Oliver pointed out that an accounting firm was responsibie |only te the government, their em- ployers, but a Royal Commission was responsible to the people of the province. He also stated that an accounting firm had no authority to make a contractor or other per- son testify under oath whereas er. Oshawa's ghost road was by Mr. Oliver. "How Yesterday Accidents Accidents Injured Killed y could a piece of road be built with- out the province and the city mak- ing an agreement?" he asked.

A straightforward collision at First Avenue and Front Street at 4 Ju involved cars driven by Ted Danniels, 29, 65 Chadburn Street and Herbert Hawkins, 31, 107 Victoria Street. The right rear of the first car had $40 damage | while $50 damage was done to the grill of the other. At Central .

Damage to the front of the car was estimated at $200. The bus had $10 damage done to the rear bumper. On Celina Street, a one-way street | for northbound traffic, two cars were damaged when a car pulled from Maple Street yesterday noon and headed south.

He swerved the car, catching his right rear fender on it. At the same time Eldon Thomas, 27, 31 Charles Street, who was following James' car, was forced on to the boulevard and struck a hydro pole. Damage to the right front of his car was estimated at $100. Galea's car was undamaged. Rail Talks In Deadlock MONTREAL (CP)--Wage negoti- ations between Canadian National Railways and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine- men (Ind) reached a deadlock Thursday and the union was ex- pected to apply to the minister of labor for conciliation. The union is asking for a wage increase of $1.35 a day for firemen, a five-day week for yard firemen and a revision of working rules. The deadlock arose when the railway refused to consider work- ing-rule changes or negotiate a wage increase for engineers re- placing firemen. his audience of some 50 persons that the Liberal opposition wquld do everything in its power to rid the province of "this cancerous growth and the people who pay the gosoline tax can be reasonably sure The | .

SENTENCE DELAYED The case of Edward Loughrey of oodstock, who pleaded guilty to 18 charges of passing fraudulent cheques, was put over today for one week by the Oshawa Court. Two charges from Peterboro, in- cluded in the 18 were improperly made out. '""Doesn't Peterborough know how to make out an informa- tion" asked Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs. "They forgot to sign thege." The informations went back to Peterboro and Loughrey went back to jail for another week.

Pole Digger Too Costly | Oshawa PUC will not buy a| mechanical pole digger at a cost of some $17,000. The price was investigated at the request of Commissioner Henry Baldwin who suspected that some economy might be made by own- ing a machine rather than renting one or having holes dug by hand. Either rental or manpower costs about $3 per hole. Last year the Commission put in 285 new poles. "We shouldn't consider that ex- penditure until our work greatly increases," conceded Commission- er Baldwin. | ballerinas from Cobourg, complete Kinsmen Club Stages Quartet Competition bare legs and shoulders. With a proper mincing gait, the four ren- dered "Tennessee Wig Walk' and a stirring revivalist hymn, The star of the quartet, with a blond wig, almost had the audience rolling in the aisles as he cavorted a la Jerry Lewis. With striped coats, barber poles, and white coats, the Oshawa Kins- | men Club carried music back to | the barbershop era last night as they staged an inter-city Kinsmen quartet competition at the Genosha Hotel. Originality was the key note as a total of 10 groups of harmonious | minded Kinsmen trotted onto the stage to display their vocal prowess. The musical numbers were rendered from a background of a variety of skits employing such props as a barber's chair, shaving mugs and brushes, spit- oons and others utensils. Many of the quartets were razor sharp for this contest and there was little to choose from among most of them. But after the last B flat was sounded, from the froth of shaving soap, the Bowmanville Number Two team emerged vic- torious, winners by a whisker, Ev- eryone agreed it had been a close shave. The winning songsters were John Graham, first tenor; William Wal- lis, second tenor; Howard Cordon, bass and Ivan Woolley, baritone. The repertoire of the 10 quartets included such nostalgic numbers as "Girl of My Dreams," "Cool Wat- er," "Only an Old Beer Bottle," "You Tell Me Your Dream' and 'After Dark' as well as such mo- dern hits as "Heart of My Heart" and "Down By The Riverside." | S f f t In addition to these melodious | Turcott; | strains there were other melodies | from foursomes who concentrated more on novelty than harmony.

Speaking at the annual banquet of the Ontario Retail Farm Equip- ment Association here. Mr. Saun- ders said the new figure is $75, 000,000 more than previous esti- mates. Ontario is going to build the power phase in conjunction with New York state, The chairman said that if the project is not begun soon, new sources of power would have to be found by 1957 or 1958 to meet ever-increasing demands. He added that without the use of power from the St. Lawrence hydro would have to turn to steam or atomic generators. The St. Lawrence power development would save Ontario $30,000,000 a year, he said. Toronto Studies Hospital Plan TORONTO (CP)A pre-paid hos- pital plan for Torontonians was taken under consideration Thurs- day by the city council's welfare committee. Noting that the city has paid out $17,000,000 in hospital deficits dur- ing the last 10 years, Alderman William Dennison, who proposed the plan, said he thought the plan might save taxpayers money.

The question of inadequate street r id costs and his li was d- ed for three months. On the afternoon of January 16 Madden was stopped after a chase down Highway 2 near Pickering, by Constable Cyril H. Smith of the Oshawa force. Constable Smith tes- tified that he was off-duty, drivin towards Oshawa when a panel truck came over a hill on the wrong side of the road, straight at him. The constable pulled to the shoulder, avoiding a collision, then decided to stop the other driv- er "before he killed someone." He pursued the truck to Pickering where it stopped. The driver, Joe Madden, 'seemed' paralyzed be- hind the wheel." In his driver's cap beside him on the seat was a small bottle of rye whiskey. ' Provincial Constable A, Quinlan, called to the scene, took Madden to police headquarters where he requested and was given a blood test. The return this Morning, read by acting Crown Attorney George Boychyn, showed 3.0 parts alcohol per 1,000 parts blood. "It is absolutely ridiculous" said Magistrate F. S. Ebbs, "to get in that condition and then drive al' truck." Madden's licence, he thought, could have been taken for a long- er period, but he was considerin that the accused had a wife an four children to support by truck driving. . f t ral Mayor John Naylor Shreve recalled that the commis- to proceed with an installation pro- gram of modern lighting through- out the city and this is going ahead as rapidly as finances a report, Mr. Shreve listed what was accomplished last year. where no light is located at the in- tersection but if extra poles were installed with the consequent spe- cial wiring, the remedy would run which Ald.
