dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Saturday, April 16, 1960 Modest Bomarc Success - Doesn't Clear Up Mess Defence Minister Pearkes was finally able to announce to the House of Com- mons that a Bomarc-B missile had man- aged to leave the launching pad. He did it with a flourish, interrupting de- bate to make the announcement, and considering the criticism he has had to face because of his unswerving faith in the Bomarc, his elation is understand able. The test that brought joy to Mr. Pearkes, however, could be considered only a modest success. The missile, which reportedly has a range of better than 400 miles, travelled 170 before plunging into the Gulf of Mexico; and it was not fired at a target. In other words, all the test proved was that it was possible to get a Bomarc-B into the air. It's a long, long way from an initial partially-successful launching to opera- tional efficiency -- particularly when funds for production and development have been reduced almost to the vanish- ing point, in terms of missile costs. The U.S. air force slashed its requests and for control units by $274.4 million. It would divert the $655 million thus saved mainly to the production of more Atlas intercontinental missiles. It will also maintain and possibly enlarge its force of manned interceptors. Thus the fact that a Bomarc missile has finally become airborne makes no essential difference to the mess we're in. The United States is virtually aban doning the Bomarc program. The Bomarc is an anti-aircraft not an anti- missile weapon. The U.S. may con- centrate on a different anti-aircraft missile -- the army's Nike-Hercules, for example, which can also attack missiles--which will have a different control system. Thus Canada, which lacks an adequate interceptor force, stands helpless while continuing to spend money on an anti-aircraft system that will probably never come into being. The U.S. interceptors would, of course, attack enemy aircraft over Canada, but if an enemy used missiles instead of manned bombers all we could do would be to huddle in our basements and hope for the best. Even if the Bomarc bases were equipped and operational, we could do nothing about enemy missiles. The government's preoccupation with the Bomarc is keeping it from taki 1g policy. What is needed is a radically different point of view. Is it wise, for instance, for Canada to buy missiles of any kind? Just what is our obligation in North American defence? These basic considerations demand a profound South African Campaign It will be interesting to watch the results of South Africa's campaign for more white immigrants. Interior Minis- ter Naude announced this week that his department was busy organizing immigration machinery, and the help :of chambers of commerce, industrial councils and agricultural unions was being sought to offer employment to prospective immigrants. He said it was hoped more whites from The Nether- lands, Belgium and Germany could be induced to go to South Africa. The purpose admittedly is to increase the white population and reduce the country's reliance on black labor. Mr. Naude warned the nation's farmers that they would have to do without imported African labor. Each year thousands of Africans from the Rhodesias, Mozam- bique and Nyasaland enter South Africa to work on farms and in homes and mines. He warned that thousands of African "idlers" and "other superfluous Bantu" would have to be sent back to African reserves. In recent years, about 16,000 im- migrants have entered South Africa annually, but this has been offset by an annual emigration of about 11,000. Mr. Naude apparently did not men- tion the United Kingdom as a source of prospective immigrants. He may have considered -- with reason -- that few British people would want to settle in a country living on the thin crust of a racial volcano and governed according to policies they detest. It will be interest- ing to see if the prospect is any more appealing to people in the countries he mentioned. Belgians and Netherlanders in the home countries are notably tole- rant of racial differences. But every country, the United Kingdom included, has its share of racehaters and white- supremacists. Each country, too, has its constantly discontented elements, hope- ful opportunists, and lovers of violence. The South African campaign may well appeal to such people. If that is response, of course, Mr, Naude and his colleagues are only pre- paring new trouble for themselves and their successors. It's extremely doubtful if they can make any substantial change in the population proportion; and at the same time it's possible they could be adding numbers of trouble-makers to the white population. This is all specu- lation. The best guess at the moment is that the South African immigration campaign will be a failure. 'Waste Of Presidents Under the Canadian system of govern- ment, federal and provincial political leaders can continue, despite defeats at the polls, to give their country or pro- vinces the benefit of their ripened ex- perience and wisdom. In the Uhited States, however, presidents are per- mitted only two terms in office, by the 22nd amendment to the Constitution, and many Americans believe this is a waste of talent; the president, though undefeated, must step aside for a suc- cessor, and unless some special task in public service is assigned to him, he just vegetates. The two-term question has become lively again in the U.S. as a result of The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher end Geners! Menoger €.

The Milwaukee Journal com- ments thus: Humphrey, Johnson, Kennedy, Nixon, Rockefeller--if any one of these is elect- ed this year, and re-elected in 1964, he will perforce be an ex-president already at no more than age 60! That would be in the case of Johnson or Rockefeller; Humphrey would be 57, Nixon 56, Kennedy a mere 51. The usual proposal is to make ex- presidents nonvoting lifetime members of the senate. Except as a forum for an occasional speech, this would seem less than satisfactory, however. There are other avenues of useful service to the nation on a plane commensurate with the dignity of an ex-president. Herbert Hoover's subsequent leader- ship in studies of government efficiency, for instance, was monumental. William Howard Taft was called back from re- tirement to be chief justice. John Quincy Adams was proud to be sent to the house of representatievs for nine terms after being president. Some men, even without official calls to further public service, are naturally the type to remain energetic and artic- ulate citizens anyway. Theodore Roose- velt was once such; Harry Truman is another. As the life span lengthens even' for ex-presidents, and especially if the 22nd amendment goes unrepealed, the need will grow for future administrations to think more about getting appropriate service from ex-presidents able and willing to render it -- in the cabinet, perhaps, if of the same party; in the United Nations or on diplomatic mis- sions. i AAR AA ho fad an guia tt aan UNITED KINGDOM OPINION British Budget Blasted By Conservative Rebels By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- It would appear that the only people pleased with the 1960 budget of Chancellor of the Exchequer Heathcoat Amory are the Socialists, although they have to make as brave a show of opposition as they can. The real opposition role has been taken over by a group of Con- servative rebels, headed by Ger- ald Nabarro and Peter Thorney- croft, the latter a former chan- cellor. Their attacks on the bud- get carried a great deal more London in fire-power and sting than did the strictures of the Socialist mem- bers of the House, who have seen with satisfaction some of their pet theories put into effect in a Conservative budget. Immediately after the budget was introduced, there was evi- dence of a strong Tory revolt against it. Certainly the speeches of Nabarro and Thorneyeroft pinned them down as leaders of a revolt, but for widely different reasons. Now the situation is quieter, and the Tories who might have been expected to take part in the revolt are being brovght into line. When the pinch comes, in the form of moving into the division lobbies, the Conservative party will be just as solid as ever, with only a mere handful of abstentions, from those who have already de- glared themselves. OTTAWA REPORT Broadcast Governors reassessment of Canada's defence role. Acted High-Handedly By FATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA-Did you vote for Forsey (Eugene Alfred) to be your representative in the House of Commons, on 31 March 1958? Did you vote for any other candi- date, knowing him to be of the same party as Forsey, and in- tending thereby that the govern- ment of Canada or any part 'of it should be entrusted to Forsey? It is certain that you did not, for Doctor (of Philosophy) For- sey was last a political candidate --under the CCF banner--in 1949. He also stood in 1948, and in 1945 he was a candidate for the On- tario legislature--always and per- haps regrettably unsuccessful, for he would be an able legisla- tor. Neverthless, Newfoundlander Forsey, long a resident of Of- tawa and an employee of the Canadian Labor Congress, is one of a group of 15 individuals whose unwarranted conduct is as high- handed as if they possessed a popular gubernatorial mandate. I refer to the Board of Broad- cast Governors, to which the ad- mirable and learned CCFer Dr. Forsey was appointed by Con- servative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker--despite their politi- cal enmity, That board was es- tablished by Parliament in 1958. dations concerning its r licences to build gas pipelines 4 and to export natural gas through 4 them. { mendations ! only to the government. One of its tasks, perhaps the most spectacular, is described in its constituting act as being to examine applications for the is- sue of a licence to establish any new broadcasting station, and to "make such recommendations as it deems fit to the minister of transport', who actually issues such licences. PATTERN OF PROCEDURE Thus last month the board heard -applications for a licence to establish a television broad- casting station in Toronto. On 28 March, the board passed inform- ation to the Parliamentary Press Gallery here that its findings would be disclosed to the gallery at 3 p.m. that day. At 2:30 p.m. about 200 copies of a document entitled "Anmouncement," mim- eographed in both English and French, were delivered to the gallery whence its contents were immediately disseminated to newspapers and broadcasting stations. Some three hours later, I am told, the minister of trans- port read in a newspaper what the board recommended to him regarding that Toronto licence. At about the same time an- other board created by the Dief- enbaker . government, the Na- tional Energy Board, completed It handed those recom- confidentially and Last Friday, after due consideration { by the cabinet, a minister of the i Crown made those recommenda- tions public by presenting them i ic Parliament, at the same time y announcing how the government proposed to act on them. WHICH WAS CORRECTDH I believe that such a board is in much the same position as a deputy minister. It is intended to examine the facts within that im- mediate field, and to make rec- ommendations accordingly to the appropriate minister on a confi- dential basis. The whole cabinet then considers those recommend- ations within the much broader framework of the national pie- ture, including facts and policies perhaps not known to the board. The cabinet may decide to act on the board's recommendations, or to over-ride them in whole or in part. But for any such board, or for any deputy minister, to publicize its recommendations is improper, for this can but force the hand of the government. The sanction exercised on the govern. ment is the popular vote; if in the public eye they make the wrong decision, they can be evicted at the next election. But a board is appointed, it is virtu- ally irremovable, and it is not "responsible" to the public. If we are to have government by ap- pointed boards, we might as well go 5..3 whole hog and replace Parliament with a dictator. In these days, when alas un- jably more power is being QUEEN'S PARK Outstanding Stars In New Legislature By DON O'HEARN TORONTO Most new legisla- tures bring in their potential stars, But this new House at its first session introduced more than the normal number. This was not entirely because a number of new 'members were elected in June. Some of the men who took over the limelight were not rookies. They were serving second and third terms. More important would seem to be the fact that the House is go- ing into its second lap on bring- ing forwaid a newer and younger group to take over the leadership of the province. ROBARTS BETTER? Outstanding on the government side, of course, was the energy minister, Hon. Robert Macaulay. Mr. Macaulay was consistently prominent. This was not entirely testi- mony to ability, however. He had a number of important and controversial matters to handle in debate -- natural gas, the Sarnia land purchase ete.-- which in themselves bred news. His new colleague in the cab- inet, Hon. John Robarts, did not have such news-making topics to discuss in Education, but with some people he left an even bet- ter impression. To some observers, however, there was one man on the gov- ernment side whose rise was even more significant than that of these two. This was Leslie H. Towntree, QC the PC member from York West. Mr. Rowntree was chairman of the three most important com- mittees of the session -- labor private Gills and privileges and electicns, And he left a fine im- pression with everyone -- includ- ing opposition members, UNEASY FOOTING? The Liberal benches seemed to be still trying to find their foot- n; B. This applied to new leader John Wintermeyer as well as new members. However they brought in some men who should be making a mark for some time in the prov- ince. These included Elmer Sopha of Sudbury, who handled himself better probably than any other new members. The CCF introduced Ken Bry- den, a new member of the House but an old political hand. He showed, as many had known he would, that he was a persis- tent critic who briefed himself well on most subjects on which he spoke. Plan To Fight Infant Scurvy OTTAWA (CP) -- Two Toronto dietary experts suggest the gov- ernment could help halt the in- creasing incidence of scurvy among babies by permitting the addition of synthetic vitamin C to evaporated milk, The suggestion*is put forward by Dr. Elizabeth Chant Robert- son of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children and Barbara A. Me- Laren, director of the University of Toronto household science fac- ulty, in an article in the Cana- dian Association of Consumers bulletin. They report that the number of babies admitted to hospital with seurvy--a disease caused by vita- min C deficiency--has been in- creasing since 1953 and that it is probably also more prevalent in less severe forms. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "A cave in the Caspian area yielded prehistoric skeletons of human beings with pointed heads." -- Science note. There's no telling how long this world has been afflicted by politicians. "Do you ever get up when you had much rather stay in bed?" -- Catch line in an ad. Yes, indeed --every morning. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" For the girl nearby instead of yonder. grabbed by the bureaucracy from the elected legislature, it seems to me that Dr. Forsey--an intelligent man whom I am lucky to count among my friends--and his fellow governors of broad- casting, have perhaps unwit- tingly arrogated to themselves power beyond that voted to them by Parliament, and quite at vari- ance with the correct example set by the National Energy Board. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Miss Leah Garrow was guest soloist for Easter Sunday at the Whitby St. Andrew's Church, J. J. L. Ardiel was appointed sales manager in the organiza. tion of the financing program of Oshawa's new Community Hotel. T. C. Vanson, treasurer of the Men's Club of Simcoe St. Meth- odist Church, was presented with a gift prior to moving to Western Canada. : J. C. Young was elected presi- dent of the Rotary Club for the ensuing year, Ladies' Softball League elected the following officers for the sea- son: Miss M. Fair, president; Miss M. Blakey, vice-president; treasurer, Miss M. Hambly and Miss V. Copeland, secretary. Harry Salter, well-known Osh- awa resident, celebrated his 77th birthday. The 15th anniversary of the WCTU was observed in King St. Methodist Church. For the occa- sion, Mrs. Starr of Whitby, ex- county president, and Mrs. Far- mer of Port Perry, county presi- dent, delivered special addresses. Mrs. L. L. Corrin, president of Simcoe St. Home and School Club for several years, resigned that position. She was honored by members of the club with a presentation. Capt. C. A, Mason, assistant adjutant of the Ontario Regi- ment, was appointed adjutant succeeding Capt. F. C. Palmer, who was transferred to the Corps Reserve. Reports from the United States that there was a shortage of nurses did not apply in Oshawa, according to Miss McWilliams, superintendent. of the Oshawa General Hospital. Education Board asked for $20,000 for the construction and equipment for an addition to the Simcoe St. South Public School. 1 is strong, and already the list of prospective rebels, initially: num- bered at about a dozen, has been narrowed down. When voting time comes and the party whip cracks, most of them, with the possible exception of Nabarro and Thorneycroft, will troop into the government lobby to give their support to the budget. MARKET BREAK The break in the solid phalanx of the Common Market in Eur- ope, by the decision of West Germany not to support the speeding up of fhe lcwering of tariffs and the imposition of a common list of external customs duties, has raised hope here that co-operation between the six na- tions of the common market ond the outer seven of the Eurpean Free Trade Association may yet be possib'e. The sudden West German shift of position, spark- ed by Dr. Ludwig Erhard, the brilliant economics minister of the federal republic, has aroused more than a ray of hope that this will be possible. At the very least, the common external tariffs of the Common Market group will not become effective on July 1, as was re- cently announced. West Germany wants time for manoeuvre. Er- hard won his victory over Chan- cellor Adenauer and his collea- gues with his bold declaration: the economic consequences if the Common Market policy goes through unchanged. That would lead to a trade war." This defection of West Ger- many from the common policy could be tremendously impor- tant. It might well mean either the death of the Common Mar- ket in its present form, or the negotiation of an agreement with the outer seven countries of which Britain is one. The West German cabinet has agreed with Dr. Erhard that there must be such negotiations. It is not un- likely that he will be visiting the near future to start talks on the subject. PARKING TICKETS Many years behind, the Cana- dian system of parking tickets is going to be adopted in the United Kingdom. Ernest Marples, Min- ister of Transport, "has intro- troduced his bill in the House of Commons to provide for issuing tickets for illegal parking and other minor traffic offences. Not a word of opposition has yet been voiced regarding it. Every- one is so convinced that the parking problem must be tack- led vigorously, and is satisfied that the new system will be very helpful. Mr. Marples, however, has gone further than Canada, and hed included in the bill some- thing that has often been sug- ge-ted for Canada. In order to RIC WIE 1€) pa and minor traffic offences, it is proposed to establish a corns of traffic wardens, who will be uniformed and will take over these duties. Here again, there is no opposition. Indeed, the pro- posals along this line have been urged by the opposition in par- liament for some time. Police officials are delighted that their men will be freed from this tak, and will be able to devote all of their time to dealing with crime.
